Tjyrsday. June 16, I960 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Page Fifteen McCullom Lake HEART ATTACK PROVES FATAL FOB NICK HUFF Eve Levesque Local residents were stunned ani shocked to learn of the unWnely passing of Nick Huff in Harvard hospital on Saturday. So many recalled having just spoken to him in the last few days and couldn't believe the news. About four years ago, Nick went through a bad time with his "ticker", as he called it. and had to delegate much of his work to his son. Gene. But recently he seemed toAe in fairly good health and th^iews came as a shock. Details appear on another page of the Plaindealer. Nick was literally "in love" with his occupation and took great, pride in his work. One of his pasttimes was whistling and this was most pleasing to the ear. One could tell when Nick was happy, as. the notes trilled from his throat. ^pie of his favorite avocations was fishing and he enjoyed many pleasant hours <\ith his lads. Gene and Dennis, in this pursuit. Somewhat of a sportsman, Nick also enjoyed prowling the fields with gun in Ivn.i Nick's proudest accomp" -'-monl was 'the addition he added to his home and the tasteful manner in which it wa& decorated with love in everjRstroke of the brush. Deepest sympathy from the entire community to his tie-1, loved Bertha and his two fine sons. ' Vycitals to Mark Silver Wedding with "Open House" V e r y p r o m i n e n t c i t i z e n s , Henrietta and Harold Vycital, will celebrate their twentywedding anniversary with an "open house" dinner buffet at the American Legion home on Sunday, June 2G from 6 p.m. to 9 pin. and dancing afterwards. Should be a spectacular event and their multitude of friends are cordially invited. Individual invitations will not be' sent! They were wed on June 28, 193^ at the Federated church in \Wauconda, Henrietta's "old hc^ne town". The union was blessed with the arrival of Elpine (Kuper), John, who is a Career Navy man and is now stationed in French Morrocco, Donald, who assists mother at thfe restaurant Henrietta owns and manages, Lorene Norma, a Recent graduate of the local k i f t d e r g a r t q j i , a n d D o r e n e Gerareette, the baby, who will stiff school in the fall. The Vycitals also have two grandchildren, Dawn and Robert Daniel. Until 1950, Harold was associated with other members <5f his family in their hardware store in McHenry and is now employed by a sheet metal company. Both of these two fine people ^re active in Legion work. We must mention a few offices they have held --Commander of local post No. 491 in '50-'51, and during this time he was responsible for forming the rifle squad. He also founded what is know as the Viscount Drum and Bugle Corps. He was Chef-de-Gare of County Forty and Eight--Voiture No. 578 in '52-'53. Two other project ^in which Harold "had a hand" was in forming the Sons of the American Legion and i n s t i t u t e d n u r s e s ' t r a i n i n g scholarships. He is still prominent in county and district chairmanships in the Legion. No less a personality is Henrietta who is an outstanding cook, seamstress, and, in addition to raising five children, held the office of president of t he American . Legion, is a member of the Eight and Forty ! (Honorary Legion Society), I and is still active in various phases cf legion work. Cn this great occasion in their life, may we add our very best wishes „ and congratulations!

I Paper Drive Scheduled | For Fall j It seems as though the paper , market quotations are higher j ui the fall so the women of the j Ladies of the Lake voted to i postpone the proposed driye I until that time. If you have i room in which to store your old newsprint --the gals would | much appreciate it if you will hang on "to it until the pick-up date is announced. Details for the drive are being handled by Mrs. Carroll. There will be no meetings of the Ladies of the Lake during j July and August and the last I one of the current season will be held on Thursday, June 23. No new projects will be undertaken until September when the women will reconvene. At the Thursday, June 9, meeting, t h e fourteen women present were treated to peach slices, cake and coffee served up by the loving hands of Bobbie Carroll and Marie Howe. the former Melinda Scarbrough) as the happily awaited event draws near. Good authority tells us it will be sometime next month. A lovely surprise shower was held for Melinda recently at the Lakeland Park Community house and hostesses were Mrs. Edward Ozog, her daughter, Sharon, and numerous friends. Decorations were tasteful and "eye-pealing" and the refreshments were "out of this world". Two pinik tinted cream cheese sandwiche loaves^were made up and filled with yummy salads. Jello molds, chips, and a beaut i f u l a p p r o p r i a t e l y t r i m m e d cake completed the tasty menu. The women who attended and paid homage to the expected bundle were Roberta Houck, Pauline Dowe. Donna Moulis. Marge Stacknick. Lonie Toerne, Joan Adams, Carol Wilson, Adrienne Ozog, June Jensen and , Laveroe P>att. Also present were Bettv Thiel, Carol Franklin. Joan, O'Halleran. Flora and. Andreia Pm Us.

Precious gifts which will j keep the wee-one "comfy and | cozy" have been fondled lov- ; ingly ever since the shower by members of the family! Mercury Soars! The thermometers which indicate the rise of our building fund portends that our new or larger quarters is looming closer on the horizon. The total deposited to that account is now in excess of $1,200!! Mighty fine, eh? Plaudits and praises to Polednas and Hammersteins for the successful parties they keep having --. with this project in mind. Speaking of parties, the next shindig will be held at McDonald's Emporium on Saturday night with "special surprises" planned, afid the committee also promises "good eating". You just won't want to miss it! Pink or Blue Booties? That is the most important question at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gene Adams (she is "The Gardens Are In" And that called for a cele- ; bration; which is just what members of the "Sunshine i Club" had last week at the home of Mrs. £jiton Hagel of 524 Maple Hill drive.

Adelaide Patzke, Ethel (Petey) Schmidt, Wanda Dyko, Evelyn Haines, Pat Hogan and Anne Blaney. Now the gals can sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labors, as the little seedlings begin to sprout! Something to Crow About! It is with parental pride and a humble spirit that we announce the fact that our eldest I child, Chrys Levesque, received one of the American Legion awards at the junior high commencement last Thursday. To state that she--and we! are proud of her certificate and medal--is putting it mildly! Guess we'll Ipt it go at that.,, More Vandalism! - In a spirit of civic duty, Len Jensen, Jr., erected twelve signs-- proclaiming No Hunting and No Fishing! --at the beach and the entire dozen has been torn down and ripped to shreds! Strictly the work of 4 children and NOT FUNNY. These signs were put up to protect the lake until the restriction can be lifted and will be a benefit to all. It's about time our youngsters learned to respect property. How about it, parents, will you take a hand and administer IT to the the proper portion of the anatomy? Convalescing--But Far From Well Mrs. Lauretta Frye of Lake Shore drive was released from Little Company of Mary hospital last week, but not to return home. She is making her home with her sister • in Chicago. and it may be months before she is again able to walk. According to a late report, Mrs. Frye has started on the upward trend and you can hasten her recovery with a cheery message. Address them c-o Neil Napoleon--12223 68th Court," Palos Heights, 111. Raft Launched Cold damp winds deterred our civic minded gentlemen not at .all on Sunday morning when they met at the beach to repair and launch the raft. Sans champagne, but wielding hammers were Nick Tabor and brother-in-law, Tony Dorner, of Lakewood subdivision, Leon Hanna, Bill Waiver and Jake Levesque. Art Stuhlfeier recorded the event for posterity with his camera, and yours truly supplied hot "java" to ward off chills. Now--all we need are balmy breezes so the "tootsies" won't freeze! from the fathers are Janet Murray who becomes a 'teenager on the nineteenth sind Mrs. Elma Nelson--and we'll just let you guess her age! Octegenarian Mrs. Augusta Hoeft (Emma Pyritz's mother) will be 84 on June 20. Wedding bells rang for Marie and Vic Howe some years ago on June 21. This date finds Shirley and Len Jensen, Sr., married 28 years, while Dorie ad Bill Brennan will chalk up 14 years of connubial bliss on this date. Congrats and the best to all who are enjoying elating events this week.

The last time "the "two events coincided was 5 years ago when the first. Darlene, was "not quite here". "Stealing the limelight" Still time to fetch that last minute gift for Pop before Sunday. See you next week. TAX FACTS Members of the Illinois General Assembly, by close examination of witnesses testifying on bills involving the appropriation of money before the special session, point up the fact that the legislators are cognizant that the average taxpayer is paiying much more for government than he thinks he is, the Taxpayers' Federation of Illinois said today. As lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have emphasized at this season, only people pay taxes in the final analysis, and so they really pay not only their own taxes but much of the tax on corporations which must be passed on somewhere as a cost of doing business. Although some people support the theory of '"making the corporations pay", it is not difficult to see that most taxes on business are simply passed along to the consumers in the form of higher prices or rates. They then become "hidden taxes." It is difficult to say exactly how much any one taxpayer pays in hidden taxes during the course of the year. However, some idea of the sizable amount of taxes in any one article is gained from a count the Tax Foundation, Inc., made to show that there are at least: 110 taxes on an egg; 116 taxes on a man's suit; 150 taxes on a woman's hat; 151 taxes on a loaf of bread and 600 taxes on a house. One rough estimate, according to the Foundation, of all taxes paid by a family with a $5,000 annual income, places the total tax burden, including hidden and direct taxes, at about $1,600. Excess taxes repfesent new clothes for the kiddies not bought,unbuilt factories, new businesses not started, operations postponed, and many other things that might have been were taxes not so high. The committee, when picking out the date for the family picnic, forgot all about Father's day June 19. so they decided that was going to be a busy day for dad and changed the date to the twenty-sixth of June. Rummage Sale Vickie Rogal said that the week before the sale which will be held on June 25, you can drop your items at the hall and she will be glad to accept them. So start getting all the things together that may be useless to you but useful to some one else. are out of school some of them think that they are the only ones on the road and are apt t^ forget about you. Pistakee Terrace Some of the men took time out from their regular chores last week to get together at the beach and clean it up. A , lot can be accomplished if there are u lot helping. Some : of the wives went along to see ; how things were shaping up i and they helped too. i Carol Mecko is home for the summer. | Marsha Patula was behind the surprise party that was ; bold last Thursday for Pat Smock on .her seventeenth : birthday. ! The younger generation i looks mighty hopeless, espe- | cially now since wc'rP no long- ; er a part of it.

Health education is a subiect of growing importance because most of t h e improvements which we make in our health in the future will depend on the active, cooperation of the individual citizen. ^ Congratulations to the Graduates Last week we, saluted the grammer school graduates and we wish them lots of luck on j their future schooling and this week we would like to offer j our congratulations to our high | school graduates who are John j Ripley, John (Terry) Kerr and : Denny Vaughan.
