Pt£t Eighteen THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, March & 1962# ftstakee Highlands MOtJBN SUDDEN DEATH OF REPORTER POLLY STEVENS Haiel Moriey - HY 7-SStO Your reporter and our community along with many other folks were saddened last Wednesday, Feb. 28, when we heard of the untimely death of Polly Stevens. Polly died of a heart attack in her home. She was a reporter for the Plaindealer and we often exchanged ideas concerning it, she was also a member of the Mount Hope church and on Feb. 13 we served as co-hostesses at the W.S.C.S. meeting. She was so well liked and such a wonderful person that it is hard to believe she is gone. It is with our deepest sympathy that we say farewell to her. Survivors include her husband, Jim, and \JJier parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. WS. Kimbro. Brownies The Brownies are busy at work on their crafts and working on fly-up badges. A girl has to be 10 by October and in the fifth grade before she can fly-up. On March 9, Marge Moreth and Lorraine Lindefnann will be hostesses at the/ McHemy Women's Club. Happy anniversary to the Spankuchs on March 12; Best wishes to Bob and Teepa O'Malley on their anniversary en March 14. Happy birthday to Margaret Axell on March9 10. W.S.C.S. r Don't forget the March meeting on the thirteenth at the church. Each lady is asked to bring a pair of pot holders. See you there?? Around the Highlands Herb and Lorraine Lindemann spent the weekend of March 3 and 4 at their daughter, Marilyn's, home in Lansing, 111. . Happy birthday to Alice Wilson who was 7 years old on March 7. She celebrated it on March 4. A going-away party was held on Feb. 27 at the home of Dolly Novotny in honor of Mrs. Robert Heilgeist. Attending from Woodland avenue were Ginny Emmerick, Audrey Zetterburg, Mrs. McNamara, Helen Kolb, Geri Vrbik, Ann Mc- Inerney, Mrs. Ristow, Lola Du- Pree, Beverly Bickler and Lorraine Hurckes. Dolly and Lorraine were co-hostesses. The • Heilgeists left last Friday for their new home. On March 6, the Moreths and Lindemanns attended a spaghetti dinner given by the McHenry Methodist church at the Lesion hall. The 'teen club held a meeting on March 5 at the barn. A 'goofy dance" is planned for March 17. This sounds like fun. Tima O'Malley was surprised with a birthday cake from a friend in the Highlands. A surprise birthday party was held for Glen Galetka last Saturday in the Galetka home. The party was planned by his better half, Elaine, and a few friends were there to wish him well. The Flynns and Gales of Trevor. Wis., spent last Monday visiting Lil, Leo and Rickie Orlowski, I.ll's sister, Nettie, was there too. Patty Lewandowski had a party on Feb. 24 in honor of her sixth birthday. Happy birthday on March 7 to Lorraine Lindemann. Happy birthday to Billy Hurckes who will be three on March 12.

There will be twelve to fourteen ladies present. From the Highlands will be Gert Snell, Vi Schuble and Marge Moreth. I am sorry to hear that Rosemary Thelen has been ill these past two weeks. If anyone is interested in dancing lessons on Sunday from 3 to 5 in the afternoon at the American Legion please call Gene Heir. Cub Scouts I just have to say a few words about the delicious meal served at the Blue and Gold dinner. The food was out of this world and plentiful. If everyone there ate like the Morley family they probably weren't too interested in supper. The guest speaker was a nice surprise. Instead of usual dry speeches, Malcolm Ingison put on a magic show and used the Scouts in a few of' his acts. I'd Like You to Meet At the last minute your reporter was left hanging without anyone for this part of the column so if you will bear with me we will visit the Dick Morleys at 5613 Meadow Hill. Dick was born and raised in Waukegan and later lived in Round, Lake Park. He has worked in the grocery business since he was fourteen and is now produce manager of a chain store in Waukegan. He attended high school in Waukegan and Grayslake. Your reporter moved from Chicago to Spring Grove some 17 Vs> years ago and for the last six has lived in the Highlands. I attended a one room grade school and there were four students in the graduating class. I graduated from Grant high in Fox Lake in 1951. We met when we both worked for the same store in Fox Lake and were married on Nov. 17, 1951. Our family attends lilt? Inourit Kupc inctnodist church and Dick works with the M.Y.F. Besides being reporter for the Piainaealer for the last four years, I am secretary of the Johnsburg P.T.A. Our family consists of four noisy, rough, fighting, healthy normal American boys. Dickie is 9 in the fourth grade, Mike is 7 and in the first grade and at home are mother's little helpers, Gary, 5, and Brad, a little over two. As far as hobbies go, Dick lik& to tinker around with bicycles and enjoys bowling ahd that late, late show. I like bowling too but I don't get to bowl as often as I would like but what I really enjoy is music and dancing. Records or the radio are always playing when the T.V. isn't on. Well enough of that stuff. Join me next week when we meet someone really interesting. Women's Club News In spite ot tne severe weather forty-six members turned out to see- the film furnished by the American Cancer Society of America. Dr. Edward Wilt of the McHenry hospital gave a brief talk and answered the many questions asked by interested women. Dr. Wilt delivered all answers with ready information, his wit along with information as well as the film was warmly appreciated. The women are most grateful to Dr. Wilt for taking time out of his busy life to attend the meeting. »• A nominating committee was voted on ahd the three members are Beverly Lewandowski, Carla Bales and Blanche Haefliger. The girls will submit th^ir candidates for office at the March meeting. It was also voted to spend $2.25 for the annual dinner in ApriL Next month the girls will vote on the menu. Blanehe Haefliger will be in charge of decorating for the dinner. Joan Zilligen is |n charge of reservations and entertainment, Catherine Sielisch in charge of gifts.

The cherry tree was a success and all proceeds will go to buy needed cups and saucers and two serving pitchers for the club. 246 coupons were brought to the ' meeting and Sylvia Murray led the collectors for this month. The members response to this coupon project has been most gratifying. Here and There LaVerne Madock underwent surgery at the Lutheran General hospital in Park Ridge on Feb. 27. Richie Orlowski returned to work last Monday and is feeling much better. Mary Seldon, Joan Megley and Carla Bales have all been ill. We hope they will be well soon. Don't forget to save your old nylon hose for Kay Sielisch. They are needed very badly to complete work for the Pink Lady Sewing Guild. Howard Hansen, is getting around on crutches^after suffering a broken leg. This winter has been very hectic and many children and adults have suffered from falls. Kay and Wally Sielisch spent this weekend in Downers Grove where they visited Wally's mother who is still confined in the hospital. Joe and Irene Novotny celebrated 43 years of marriage on March 1. They are a very nice couple and make welcome residents in the Highlands. Joe is always helping others and Irene is noted for her delicious baked goods. We are proud to call them neighbors.

Fanny Wincham's husband, Alfred,0 the former pastoral theologian at Oxford, is unexpectedly appointed Ambassador to Paris, succeeding the popular Sir Louis and Lady Leone. No sooner are the Wine hams installed in the Embassy than Lady Leone, on the excuse of illness, takes over the entresol and continues to entertain there as gaily as before. And lest there should be any hint of monotony in Embassy routine, Fanny finds that her social secretary, whose name, for an extraordinary reason, is Northey, and whose beautiful eyes perpetually brim with tears, has much the same effect on Paris as Zuleika Dob- Radiator tf y*«r ee» Is fe year old, cio C£0cdi3 cheeking I Wm* tifculaciea say be flowed .if diss, 1K384 aa<« Mom dipMiUt ie Si Eatiman.

Presidents, cabinet ministers, aristrocratic seducers all fall in love with her as does everyone, except Philip, the mainstay of the Embassy, for whom she develops an uninhibited passion. Still more disturbing to the tranquility of Embassy life are Fanny's children. Basil, a Teddy boy who runs a tourist agency, is soon followed by his bearded brother, David, a Zen Buddhist with a speechless wile and an adopted Chinese baby; and then the two youngest brothers run away from Eton. "Don't Tell Alfred" provides Miss Mitford with a wonderful opportunity to poke fun at the British, 0 French and Americans, and to write with tenderness and wit of the Paris she knows and loves. "LIVING FREE", The story of Elsa and her Cobs by Joy Adamson author of Born Free. Even more fascinating than the beloved best seller "Born Free" is this absorbing story of how Elsa, f.he world-famous lioness, raised her three cubs in the African bush wit;h the help of her devoted friends, Joy and George Adamson. This stirring story of the cubs' first year of life reveals an unusually rewarding relationship between animals and humans that dissolves the barriers between the two worlds. For although the cubs-impish Jespah, jealous Gopa, and timid Little Elsa-- romp through these pages with carefree abandon, the adults-- the Adamsons and Elsa-- must contend with the ever present menaces of the wild-- charging buffaloes, crocodiles lurking in the shallows, marauding elephants, hostile Hons, and, most treacherous of all, enraged African poachers out gun gunning for Elba's hide. And Elsa herself must juggle three roles: the cubs' vigilant mother, the Adamsons' touchingly affectionate friends, and the primitive mate of a wild lion. "THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY", A J Tale of Three Animals, by Sheila Burnford. "Home 3}ay to the west, his instinct told him; but he could not leave the other two -- so somehow he must take 4hem with him, all the way." And so the young yellow Labrador retriever set out with his two companions, a Siamese cat and an old bull terrier, on a 250- mile trek through the Canadian wilder n e s s. Separately, these pampered house pets would soon have perished. But together they battle starvation, exposure, bobcat and bear. . . and resist the human beings who would detain them. All unknowing, they affect the people they meet-- bring goodfortune to the Ojibway Indians, comfort a gentle old hermit, and love to a lonely little gitl. Few readers will remain unmoved by the fidelity and devotion of the three animals. None will forget their compelling personalities. Written with 1 a deep, unsentimental knowl-^ edge of animals, 'The Incredible Journey" is Shelia Burnford's first book. Carl Burger has caught her unforgettable characters perfectly in his evocative illustrations. Full of humor, suspense and drama, the tale also has a. special magic that makes it a potential classic. It will appeal to lovers of adventure and lovers of nature. . . .but basically this little masterpiece is meant for everyone , of every age, who has ever been owned by an animal. Corn, potatoes, chocolate, bananas, rubber, turkeys, and tomatoes were all unheard of before discovery of new world. DR. HENRY FREUND OPTOMETRIST At 1224 N.
