Hftursday, July 27, 1961 THE McRENRY PLAINDEALER PUBLIC PULSE (The Plaindealer invites public to use this collimn as an expression of their views on subjects of general interest in our ^ommunlty. Our only request is that writers limit themselves to 300 words or less and that all letters have signature, full address and phone number. We ask, too, that one individual not write on the same subject more than . once each month. We reserve the right to delete any material which we ^nsider libelous or in objectionable taste.) ACCOMMODATION REQUEST "Dear Editor: "I have recently returned from a auto trip through Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, and Colorado and could not help but notice -- since the little red /*scjtf>ol house is no more -- the snHll towns we passed through, and many smaller than Mc- Henry, who maintained wash Vooms in their public squares and parks. With all the moneymaking events this city sees fit to sponsor -- Fiesta Day annually, parades and anniversary days -- such a convenience would be appreciated by many. Also, the public city b^h being so close to the park, restrooms would help here. The cost of such a building would not be so high as both water and sewer are available. Many dollars were spent in planning for the future with malls and fancy bridges, but let's have some comfort in the present. Merchants wonder why citizens go to the new shopping centers where large stlfts provide for the shoppers' comfort, and offer the filling stations here and taverns and city hall as places for comfort stops. But if you don't drink and the car is full of gas it is embarrassing to ask to use these facilities and some station rest rooms are locked. "It has been said the teenagers would destroy or overrv^ such a place but we have ponce and a half hour check could be managed. After all, they check on parking meters that often. The high school has these facilities and seems to take care of them without too much trouble. Anyone who has been on Riverside Drive on Fiesta Day and stood in line at the various taverns, realizes that we invite visitors, but pi^ide little for their comfort. "Robert Burns" Democratic party of McHenry county? This is nothing new in either political party. The fact remains that we have only $6.53 in party funds. Why should the Democratic leaders pay expenses out of their own pockets? To my knowledge, no money is deducted from the pay checks. I happen to be a 2 per cent club member and! was not forced into it in any way. "The people who got into these jobs for the state should be more than glad to help their party. It will take a great deal of moral and financial support for us to do the people of McHenry any good in the coming elections. "A Democrat "Eugene Piotrowski" Johnsburg Hiller Family Holds Reunion Betty Bettermann Scout Executive THE 2 PER CENT CLUB "Why all the fuss about the 2 per cent club started by the REINHOLD MILLER Reinhold G. Miller has been selected as the Scout executive of the Blackhawk Area council, according to an announcement made by Kermit J. Johnson, council president. He will assume his duties here on August 15. The selection was announced following a recent meeting of the council executive committee, when ratification of the decision of a selections committee appointed for the purpose of selecting the new executive was made. Miller presently serves as the deputy Scout executive of the St. Louis area council, with headquarters in St. Louis, Mo. His duties there have included supervision of the field service staff of twenty-five professional men, the organization and extension committee, and the cpmmissioner staff of 460 adult scouters.

Green St. DRUG STORE EV. 5-4500 Some 141 members of the family of the late John and Catherine Hiller gathered on the community club grounds last Sunday for a family, reunion. The last time" a reunion was held for this family was 14 years ago. You can well imagine the changes and additions that have taken place in that span of time. The family consists of eleven children, fifty-eight grandchildren and eighty-four g r e a t-grandchildren. A picnic dinner and supper served on the clul) grounds was enjoyed by one and all. Baseball, cards and various games added to the enjoyment of all present. Page Eleven seventy-five members were on hand at the community club grounds to participate in the summer fun. Highlight of the afternoon was a baseball game between the men from the subdivisions. Sides were \ chosen and the outcome was ^'murder." I'm not saying what the score was or who the winners were but I must say the losers were "slaughtered." The losers claim they want a rematch which is in the planning stages but they also want an impartial umpire. What will happen if this rematch comes about is anyones guess, but it would be something to witness. More About Our Church Carnival As you know St. John's parish carnival will be held on the community club grounds, Aug. 4, 5 and 6.
