Village president J. E. Leveque gave the welcoming address and introduced the oilier portions of the program. Mrs. Theresa Schullz, mfide the arrangements and the event was sponsored by the Oillom-Knoll association. A special tribute of placing a .Memorial wreath on the mpnument honored the memories of the three from this area who made the supreme sacrifice. The names of these men are James Bailey, Jack Feiter arid Elmer Fox. Notes from the Village Board The starting date for the work on Spring Road and Park View was tentatively set for Jui^e 1 and may now be in progress. Our engineers surveyed and set up stakes on Thursday of last week, in readiness for the road crew. Residents along these roads will gladly put up with the inconvenience in order to obtain two new throughways! Assistance from our village was requested in the form of the loan of our squad car and two police officers to help the McHenry department on Fiesta Day. This request Was granted unanimously. Evidently some one in the village is not satisfied with the service given by the road committee and decided to take matters to a "higher court". A letter was written to the Department of Public Works, State of Illinois. \ copy of the reply was read at the board meeting, referring the correspondent right back to the local officials. No names were mentioned. A temporary road committee consisting of Bob Zahn, Art Nelson, Art Stuhlfeier, and village president was named by Mr. Levesque. Permanent committees will be. formed at a later date. The next meeting will be held on Monday, June 12, at 8 p.m. in the beachhouse and is open to the public. A fine group of spectators was on hand for the last meeting. Let us hope the interest does not wane! Aren't We Proud Of two outstanding students who will graduate from the eighth grade this month9 They are Miss Penny Miller, daughter of Gladys and Art Miller of Eastwood Drive, and Master Kenneth Frost, whose parents are Lorraine and Gene of Spring Road. Penny, representing St. Patrick's school and Kenny, a representative of St. Mary's school, received the Kiwanis award which includes a merit certificate, and twentyfive dollar bond. These were presented at a dinner given at the.American Legion home last Thursday evening. The lass and lad were chosen by their classmates on the basis of thoughtfulness to others, leadership, courtesy, scholastic record, personal hygiene, sportsmanship and honesty. Verbal orchids to these fine youngsters and their parents who are responsible for their training, and we rejoice with them at this happy time. Vacation from the StOve Give mom and the kiddies a treat this Sunday and take them to Whitey and Bernice's Where the McCullom Lake Men's club will fill your needs with succulent breakfast fare. The date is June 4 and serving begins at 9 a.m. The fee is nominal, the menu is varied, and the tab is the best bargain of all!! Valuable Service Gone It is with deep ^ regret that we lose the grocery store owned by Lottie and Gene Piotrowski. for nine and one-half years. Too many cars and too many supermarts have taken their toll and ciaused one more "little businessman" to fall by the wayside. No longer will it be possible to send little Mary or Tom for a lpaf of bread or a quart of milk. These items will have to be remembered on regular shopping days. There is ho doubt that Lottie will welcome a much needed rest! Their business was discontinued as of Sunday, May 28. Membership Drive for Cullom-Knoll If you have not yet been contacted, a member of the Cullom- Knoll association will be calling on you for HELP! Funds are needed if the beach and park are to be maintained and improved. For a nominal sum which should be no great sacrifice for most of our residents-- our wonderful facilities can continue to serve the needs of our children AND adults. If you cannot attend the meetings, please help to carry YOUR share of the load. At the last meeting of the Cullom-Knoll board held on Wednesday of last week, a tentative date of July 29 was set for a fun festival. More details as they become available. A general meeting of the Cullom-Knoll will lie held &h Tuesday, June 6. f Chivalry Is Not Dead A deep curtsy to the school bus driver who backed up the other a.m. for a tardy miss. She was loaded with books and still had a block to run to make the bus. As the vehicle stopped, another young lady leaped through the doors, dashed down Spring Road and intercepted her friend. Relieving her cf part of her burden, the two young ladies sprinted for the bus, leaped aboard, and all proceeded serenely to their destination. A dramatic moment to this unbiased observer! . M a 4. A "Going Like Hot Cakes" With a limited amount of tickets for the "Smiles 'N' Styles" affair given by the Ladies of the Lake, you had best reserve yours now! They have been on sale for one week and may not last until the next. This may sound like high pressure salesmanship, but believe us--it is NOT!! No tickets will be sold at the door. For information, call Mrs. Lois Parenti at 385-3140. The models have been selected and all arrangements are proceeding with lightning speed. The date is Tuesday, June 27, at the American Legion home, at 12:30 p.m. Chicks" and mates. Sound cute? Well, it is. Monday night the festivities took place with the obvious excuse of a holiday the next day. It was a barbecue "chip in" affair with each of the gals bringing a "pot to pass" and the males kicking in with loot for the liquid refreshments. On hand for food 'n' frolic were Betty and Larry Murray, the Lee Mais, Grace and Roger Kinsey, the George Dasons, the Don Lorches, Kathy and Bill Schlitt, and last but in no wise least --the Ed Hanim e r s t e i n s , J r s . ( o u t l a n d e r s from Cooney Hts!) Social Night for the Gals 'Twas a festive night last Thursday when the gals turned out for the social of the month. Considerably g 1 a d d e ned by their good fortune were Martha Sy'lthe, Sally Olsen, Tommy Fox, Marge Stacknick, Theresa Schultz and Joanne Mai, More happy people included L o u i s e H a m m e r s t e i n , E r m a Oberhuber, Bobbie Carroll, Evelyn Haines, Elsie Nelson, and Petey Schmidt. All welcomed new 'member Grace Kinsey intp the ranks of the Ladies of the Lake. Goodies for c o n s u m p tion were provided by Sally Olsen and Elsie Nelson. Lois Parenti "goofed" but promised to reform! Next meeting will be held on Thursday, June 8, at 8 p.m. in the beachhouse. State of Confusion A three digit housenumber of one door and a four digit number at the n^xt establishment can be most confusing! Please comply with the new postal numbering regulations and post YOUR NEW ADDRESS. If you are in doubt, check with Mrs.. Emma Pyritz, village clerk. Until you obtain the numerals for your new number, limit the confusion by removing the old numbers. Many thanks and maybe we will all be uniform one of these days! Seven Months of Southland The Alfons Oberhuber family has returned en masse from the sunny state of Florida. They are tanned, healthy, and muscle-toned. Nuthin' like skin diving to improve the "figger". The Oberhubers moved temporarily to Florida for economic reasons but are happy to be home. The "welcome mat" is spread, Erma and Al. Hospitalized in Harvard Mrs. Edna Thorp has been fa* patient in* Harvard- hospital for quite some time and still has a few days to go. She was receiving oxygen for her condition, but happily is now "off the stuff". A cheery greeting tQ her at the hospital or at home would be much appreciated. Much Needed Spring Cleaning The beachhouse is a wearing a look of invitation these days as the result of five industrious local ladies. They spent one whole day, scrubbing, scouring, sweeping. Two of the tables have been 'recovered with attractive and easyto- care-for linoleum and the third will be completed soon. Those deserving of commendation are Tommy Fox, Abby Berry, Betty Poledna, Louise Hammerstein and Bobbie Carrol. - "Congrats" Dep't Best wishes to twins, Gerald and Greg Burg, Cynthia Tomasello, and Petey Schmidt today, June 1. . . .the Ronald Wilsons are due for anniversary greetings tomorrow, June 2. . . .June 4 will find Myrt and Gerry Burg wed 16 years and Kevin McKim 8 on this date. . . .Greetings to Bob Fernandez on his natal day > and the Dominic Tomasellos on the occasion of their wedding anniversary, June 7.
