, May 24, 1962 • THE McHENRY fLAINDEALER Page Fifteen McCullom Lake LADIES SPONSOR ANNUAL RUMMAGE SALE SATURDAY Elma Nelson l^t's that time of the year again. Who can resist browsing through the tables and racks loaded with clothing, furniture, household articles, jewelry, --a bargain hunting gal's paradise! The Ladies of the Lake are presenting their •annual rummage sale, and the ^doors of the beach house will . be open to the public from 10 la.m. 'till 5 p.m. Saturday, May Past experience will recall the values are big and price - tags are tiny. The proceeds f from this affair will be d6riat- ? ed to the Cullom-Knoll build- 1 ing fund. The committee- is ; headed by Louise Hammeri stein, her co-chairman is Ethel I Schmitt and the staff of workers include Ethel Eox, Marie ij McKim, Edith Brendl, Bobby ) Carroll, Elsie Nelson, Myra ; J^rray and Lois "Parent i. To insure the success of the Sfile, I donations of all kinds are necd- I ed. Here's a fine place to bring f that lamp that went up in the |att ic when you got the new I'one --Jor the dress that just f1 never did have the appeal it did on the store rack. I guess everyone has that sort of thing • '] --so bring 'em down. The I* beach house will bo open on \ ^tiday afternoon and evening. |an d someone will be there to I receive your donations. The | date of the sale is Saturday, I May 26, at the beach house. ; See you there? i Village Board Notes t The president and trustees convened in regular session I Monday, May 14. Appropria- • tipns and levys for the coming j fir.r were presented by finani rial chairman, William Creutz. | Rond conditions, repairs and | oiling were discussed and work I on same should begin in the I near future. It was brought to |t he board's attention that I there have been rumors spread | about concerning our proposed I sewage system and the amount I it will cost each home owner installation. These rumors e not only entirely untrue they are fantastic. PLEASE, before you lend an car to loose talk -- attend the board meetings and hear what our governing body and men of authority, connected with the s<§wag& system installation have to say. What is said there 11 be the facts. ) i o iC Summer is Here Spring it is, and hot summer weather we have been having --but one sure sign of the season is the placing of the raft in the lake. It sounds like a simple job, but believe me, it is not quite that. It took a lot of good strong backs and a lot' of co-operation. At aro'und' 10 a.m. Sunday. May 20, "operations mop 'up" began. A fyoup of fellows, . resplendant m work clothes and waders, etc., dug in. and within two hours the water a.ea at the bearh, the drainage ditch to the west of the beach were dragged clean of the flotsum and jet sum that had collected since last season. Truckloads of logs, sticks and other refuse were hauled away. Jake Levesque and Ole OKon donaied the dcrviccs of the trucks tha* did me hauling. After the beach was beautifully polished, the f e l l o w s a d j u s t e d t h e r a f t , tightened nuts and bolts, put on the ladder and spring board and painted it a real fancy pink and into the water it went, much to ihe deliirht of the local small and not-sosmall fry. The fellows we are grateful to for this civic service are Bob Fernandez, chairman, Roger Kinsay. Don Parent i. Earl .Nelson, Ken Nelson. Ed Hammorstcin. Ole Olson, Allen McKim, Elinor Thorp, Clayton Nelson. Jake Levesque and Art Stuhli'^ifr. Home Sweet Home Carney, but how true. It's pretty difficult to say on what side of the fence the joy was more evident --was it Eve Levesque or father Jake and the four sprouts? She returned home Sunday, May 20, after a week of hospitalization following major surgery for a perforated ulcer. She looks and feels just fine-- a little thin perhaps, but real good. A week or so should see her pretty nearly back to normal --rugged little gal, this one. Memorial Day Program A service in observance of Memorial Pay will be held at the beach, starting at 10:30 a.m. It will be conducted under the auspices of the Cullbm- Knoll association with M^- Theresa Schultz as program chairman, assisted by village president, J. R. Levesque. Orchids to the American Legion rifle squad, auxiliary, drum and bugle corps and Viscounts for their cooperation. Choral Club Capers Otto and Emma Pyritz wined and dined in high style Monday, May 14. Their "host" was the McHenry Choral club and 1he occasion was. the banquet held after the Spring Concert for the members of the group. It was held at one of the newer spots in town and a sumptuous buffet was spread with roast beef, potatoes au gratin, salad molds, spaghetti, relish trays, rolls and butter, dessert and coffee. After the repast, members and guests enjoyed liquid libation and five acts of clever entertainment. Emma said she met Ann and Fred Matthesius, Verna Schloffner, and Barbara Brand there too. Acts on Committee When the Zion Lutheran church Ladies Aid sponsored a salad luncheon and fashion show recently, our Elsie Nelson assisted on the capable kitchen committee. Other details of this inspiring affair appear elsewhere in the paper. Arkansas Travelers? Well not exactly --for while Vi and Ben Gates' 2,100 .mile vacation trip did take them in part to Arkansas --they "went down the road a piece" to Texas also. On Sunday, May 6, at 1:43 a.m., mind you, the Gates took to the tollways. First stop was Bull Shoals, ArkC, where they enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Winters, formerly of McHenry. A few days later found them in Dallas, Tex.They enjoyed Dallas and all it had to offer, and moved on to Grand Prairie, Tex., where they exchanged family news with a nephew, Bill Gates, Jr., and his family. Next stop was Hot Springs, Ark. They had three days of reallj 'doing the town, the balhs and massages. The baths were nice, says Vi. but oh m a s s a g e s - - w o n d e r f u l ! T h e y arrived home at 1 p.m., Sunday. May 13, in time to spend .Mother's Day with sons, Glen and Bob. Hospitalized Sunday, May 13, was a bad day for Gene Piotrowski. He had been feeling ill all day -- breathing was difficult and his throat was constricted. By midnight he was in bad shape. From all indications and symp- I'omsi. was having a heart unbulance took him stock hospital, administering oxygen on the way. An electro cardiogram proved his heart to be in good condition, so the search for his problem began. A series of tests were conducted during the four flays he was there and the results were - of all things ulcers! Tense nerves were the cause of his breathing difficulties. He was released Thursday afternoon and came home to a worried Lottie with the bland diet list prescribed. Say. this ulcer bit isn't catching, it is? Corns, he wa attm'k.

The place was a trampoline lot near here and the occasion was our Don Nelson's twelfth birthday. The four boys who made like Mexican jumping beans were Jay Levesque,^.Mark' Hansen, Ed Koch and Don. A swimming session followed .and then the boys packed themselves with outdoor barbecued h a m b u r g e r s a n d w h i p p e d cream cake. 'Twas a great day for Don.

Dember has been home on leave for two weeks from the Air Force. He was stalioned in Osan: Korea, and will be leaving tomorrow to go to Nellis Air Force Base in -Nevada. He was here at a very appropriate time, namely. Mother's day. As he leaves, we all want him to know that we wish him, "Good Luck. God Speed, and God Bless." Near Accident A call from Shirley Schuerr of Lilymoor tells us that while visiting her mother. Bertha Burger, here in "Lakemoor, she had a near accident. She tells how she left her mom's home and on one of the back roads some child darted out in front of her car on a bicycle. Needless to say. this must have been quite frightening. She asked if we would please put a notification . in this week's issue for all parents and bike riders to read. She tells that this incident happened when it was getting nigh on to dusk, and the child, with no lights on and no white shirt on could have easily been killed. Please, children, guard your life. The life you save may be, your own. And for parents, may we say that children should be cauwill celebrate 20 years of wedded iife on May 30. So that about wraps it up for this week.

Win Honors On Thursday, May 10, at the McHenry high school annual From Youth To Adulthood In a recent conversation with Marcella Foss, we were taking note of the fact that all families, sooner or later, grow up and grow away from their original threshold. Such is the case of Marcy's family. Since I haven't had too much contact with folks recently, due to my raising little ones, we find nerals of two of her loved ones. Mary's husband's brother, Salvatore Schiavone, and Mary's sister's husband, Frank Juliana, both passed to their reward within a week.

'• -- There are several ways that a man can pay the price pf a new Cadillac car--and find himself in possession of an automobile of far less stature. Because there are many motorists currently considering the purchase of their next car, we would like to enumerate these ways of going astray. 1. Assume that the purchase price of a new Cadillac car is higher than it actually is. (There are eleven models pf other makes that this year cost more than the lowest-priced Cadillac model.) 2. Fail to appreciate that the basic price of a new Cadillac includes many important things that are extra on other cars. (Including automatic transmission, power steering and power braking.) i-anclnetrfetscne/ 3. Neglect to find out from a Cadillac dealer what your present car is worth in trade. (He is especially anxious this spring to welcome new owners.) And if you take one of these detours, think of all the unique pleasures you could be missing. There is Cadillac's styling--so majestic that it attracts attention wherever it goes. There is Cadillac's comfort--so wonderful that every journey becomes a brief vacation. And there is Cadillac's performance--so great that it is without rival on the world's highways. So we suggest that you play it safe--and get all the facts from your dealer soon.
