A Thursday, March 3, 1960 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Page Fifteen McCullom Lake YOUNG PIONEERS REACH ALASKA HI 1SN DAYS Eve Levesque Travelling a distance of 4,- 371 miles, Dick 'Osterby and Lee Larson, Jr., arrived in Fairbanks, Alaska, on Saturday, Feb. 20, just ten days aft- 4 er leaving our shores. This 'time included a stop in Rugby, N. D., to chat with Harris L^sne, a service buddy of Drck's. Mr. Lyens paid a visit here last summer. Upon leaving North Dakota, - the next correspondence from the two men was received by parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Osterby and Mr. and Mrs. Lee Larson, Sr., from, Dawson City. British Columbia. The next stage pf their journey took thenvto Whitehdrse in the Yu- Territory, where t hey were forced to pause for engine repairs. Seems as though their jeep battery gave. out and a new one which was purchased cost $32. How would that compare wit;h our prices? The lads further noted that th^„Alaskan highway was clear and nice--though a bit slippery. This overland trail -- some 1,500 miles in length, can cleared in ten hours! Another interesting item --gas stations and restaurants are spaced about every 50 miles -- making for comfortable travel. In addition to panoramic views of mountains, timberlands, rivers and streams -- Lee and Dick sighted five Moose, two lynx and four timber wolves. They watched one c^tho wolves from a distance or 10 feet and though their •> "trigger fingers'^ were "itchy" --lack of a license kept them from shooting. This will give a rough idea of prices in Alaska for the adventurous ones who would like to pursue their instinct to travel. Hamburger costs one dollar a pound, while half a gallon of milk can be had for cents. Eggs are a "might costly" at $1.50 per dozen; and a> can of beer cost 65 cents -- so the fellows gave it up! With cigarettes .costing 35-50 cents per pack, Dick bought a pipe!! As of the last report, the two of them were "temporarily unemployed" but expected to try their hand at hunting for wolves, because of the high topnty. Temperature as of Tuesday, Feb. 23, was 10 degrees above --and climbing and "the day was bright and sunny. Anyone wishing to communicate with Dick or Lee may address correspondence c-o Fifth Ave. Hotel -- Hotel Annex, Room 402--550 6;th Ave., Fairbanks, Alaska. Will Lee and Dick strike it rich? Meet their life's companions or find the answers to the fulfillment of their future? --Watch the column for the answers!! Notes From the Village Board At the last meeting of the president and trustees, Roger Moehling. representing W- A. Rakow Associates, presented Resolution No. 15 for improvement by municipality under Motor Fuel Tax Law which deals with ditching, preparing roadbed, and surfacing Orchard Drive from the intersection of Lake Shore Drive out to the blacktop. It was unanimously approved by the board. The resolution will be presented to the state for approval, after which a set of specifications will be drawn up --then another ,, state approval --and thei) lit out for bids. The zoning rilap was presented by Trustee Art Stuhlfeier and approved by the board. Chairmen of the various committees made their reports. The next meeting wilL be held Monday, March 14, at 8 p.m. in the beachhouse. Report on "Heart" Sunday At the risk of freezing their "tootsies", a gallant band of women canvassed the area of McCullom Lake to obtain funds for the heart fund. A total of $82.20 was collected from the village by Ethel Schmidt, Ethel Fox, Betty Poledna, Marie Howe, Louise Hammerstein, Anne Zahn and ! Irene Sales. Lakewood subdi- | vision was represented by Mrs. ! Betty Tabor, while Maria | Guettler collected in the Spo- \ jna section. West Shore Beach j was thoroughly covered by Lorraine Johnson, Betty Lou Knaack, Lorraine Hagen and Mary Michaelson. Lakeland Park will no doubt be listed in that column. A hearty "hats off" to Mrs. Loretta Homo who organized the workers in the various communities and made the pick-ups. She also served hot coffee and sandwiches to the gals as they came in out of the cold at McDonald's. week. All other details are the same, with some of the members of the club lending, assistance to the committee during <the serving. Tickets are available from Mrs. Betty Poledna or Mrs. Louise Hammerstein. Should be worth your while to attend. Proceeds from the affair will be use<} for a larger, or new, recreation center. Hospital Patients -- In and Out Mrs. Ivar Larson, who was h o s p i t a l i z e d i n W o o d s t o c k since Feb. 13, was discharged last Wednesday. She is now receiving excellent care from her daughter, Mrs. Ivar Fredricksen, at her home in Wonder Lake. Wouldn't it be nice to cheer her with a thoughtful card, and wish her well? Tony Lennert was a patient at McHenry hospital for quite some time. Via the ' "grapevine", we hear that he is now home and feeling much better. Ingeborg Olsen was released from McHenry hospital last Friday and travelled home by ambulance. She was eagerly awaited^ by those wonderful nurses, ^Theresa Schultz and Mrs. Sallie Andersen, who is holding down the fort during Mama's convalescence. With the marvelous care she is receiving, the two women are seriously considering opening the "Fountain Lane Nursing Home"! All joking aside. Mama has made tremendous strides towards recovery, and no one is happier about it than her lovin' husband Ted. Mama's stamina amazes all who see her. day, Feb. 25, and thehe were about thirty of them present. New. members who include Mrs. George Haines, Mrs. Seigfried Stevenson, Abby Berry. Sallie Hocin, Meta Schroeder and Irene Sales were welcomed "into the fold". After a session of games, the gals were treated to "tasty pastry" contributed by Mrs. Elizabeth .Reiter, Lois Parenti and Betty Poledna. The next meeting will be held Thursday, March 10, in the beachhouse and will be of a business nature. Make A Date For this Sunday, March 6, to treat the wife and kiddies to breakfast with the McCullom Lake Men's club.

She went under the knife on Thursday and was solicitously attended by mother Betty all that day. Diane came home on Sunday and is receiving excellent care from her doting family. With youth on her side, her canvalescence should be of short duration. Volunteers Gratefully Accepted With the entire month of March designated as Red Cross month, collecting will be done in the village on Saturday, March 12, or Sunday, March 13.

His wife, Je4n; shocked patrons with her ,*flaining tresses" while siSter.TTiereaa Cunningham, "wowed them" with her raven colored coiffure. No, the gals didn't really resort to "dye jobs" --merely were sporting head scarves with false hair pieces showing in front! It was a cute gag and one they brought back from their recent tfip to Florida. Both women have lovely grey! hair and wouldn't change it for the world. During their travels, the McDonalds and Mrs. Cunningham paused in Port Charlotte, Fla., to say "howdy" to Myrt and Roy Kinsey, forriier residents of the village. Myrt is looking and feelling very fine. (She underwent surgery twice -- • some time ago). The trip were surprised to learn that Roy has taken to playing the organ and has become quite accomplished. The palm trees he planted two years ago aire thriving, and his orchard should be bearing fruit in another couple of years. He has orange, lemon, and grapefruit trees. We'll send our own wood for the crates, Roy, if you will fill them!! The vacation was enjoyable for all concerned but we don't doubt that it was good to be home again. Doing a fine job on the "home front" during their absence was that, congenial couple, May and Butch Kennenberg. A sour note in the otherwise serene household was when the McDonald's great Dane--Tracy-- made off with a $4.35 cent roast! He "licked his chops" while they groaned!

Building Fund Party For a "night out", plan on attending the public party at McDonald's this Saturday March 5, sponsored'by the Cullom- Knoll building fund. The committee promises a good time. Refreshments, too, of course! . "Flooding the Market" If there is an abundance of yummy smoked fish in the neighborhood, you can blame it all on Clayt Nelson's number two son. Cliff, and wife, Gladys, of Battle Creek, Mich. The couple spent their vacation in Florida and went deep sea fishing. They came up with dolphin and ... amberjack which they had treated and shipped to the Nelsons, who promptly doled it out. There was about 25 pounds of it. and simply deelish!! On interesting note -- the two of them chose as their boat the "Glad-Cliff" and that probably contributed to their success. Think so? . Truly Surprised . Was brand new bride, Mrs. Jean McGinley Meis, when four couples of "best friends" descended on their honeymoon "cottage" for her twentieth birthday on Saturday night, Feb. 27. In addition, Elmo's "out-laws", Mr. and Mrs. McGinley, also appeared on the scene bearing a beautiful flower'centerpiece and a huge cake, which had been ordered by Jean's hubby. The couples enjoyed refreshments and repartee for several hours, then ventured to the V.F.W. hall where the "grand opening ball" was in session. They departed in the wee hours of the morning. day, March 8, while Lil and Dave' Hansen have double events on Tuesday, March 9. 'Tis their fourteenth, wedding anniversary and Dave's birthday! Best wishes to all. If this snow keeps falling we'll all be yelling "mush" on dog sleds --instead of driving cars. Happy March 4 and we'll see you next week!
