Pap® Eighteen THE McHEHftY PLAINBEALER Thursday^ May SI, 190E McCullom Lake FOUR YEAR OLD BOY WINS PRIZE FOR NAMING PET Elma Nelson About two weeks ago. Ruth Smith offered a prize to anyone who could come up with a good name for her new pup-- one that would "ring a bell" for her. Douglas Mackinder, four year old son of Vera and John Mackinder, formerly of our village, came up with the prize winning name for Ruth's miniature Schnauzer pi\p. After having received lots of entries that had left her unmoved. Ruth was -talking to Vera on the phone when the pup pulled the jack out of the wall and disconnected the circuit. Discovering and rectifying the problem, Ruth replaced her call and was recounting the pup'sNintics when Dougie said it would .be perfect to call the doc "Na'stv". Ruth thought the dot; was a bit. small for such a name, so the young'un :ame up with "Midgie". This .vas the .bell Ruth was waiting to hear - and Midgie it is. One little four year old is the very proud recipient of the .> cash prize. Ladles of the Lake The gals met at the beach house Thursday, May 24. It was the night for their social evening and the lucky ones to go home with prizes were Edit h Breridl, Myra Murray, Marie Howe, Marie MeKim, Tommy Fox, Emma Pyritz and Vera Lynch. Marge Stacknick took "Rome a beautiful four strand necklace with matching earrings and Sally Olson was the recipient of the last prize. Vera Lynch, a friend of Louise Bergquist, occupied the guest seat for the evening and goodies were supplied by Emma Pyritz, Ethel S£hmit-t and Elizabeth Rie'ter. Milky Waters •Perhaps you have noticed ; the condition of the water, if : you've been down to the lake , during the past few weeks. | Gene Piotrowski did and made , a few inquiries in the right ! places and came up with this j bit of information. Floyd Frye | informed Gene that the Illinois j State Conservation department j claims that we have an abun- ; dance of algae --a microscopic plant growth that tends to ' make the water milky. It is j necessaty to remove this j growth to allow sunlight to penetrate the water, thus im- j proving the growth of weeds | and water plants that fish feed : upon. The Conservation department, for a sum of $500, will remove these offenders by putting a chemical solution into the water. This will clear the water, but only the algae will be destroyed, it will not harm the water or plant growth in any way. Some of the fish caught this spring that I have seen--and eaten--were real beauties. Clear fresh water is necessary for good fishing, and pretty necessary too, for the two-legged varieties that enjoy the water during the swimming season. An account has been opened in a local bank, under the title of McCullom Lake Restoration Fund. Within the next few weeks, Gene Piotrowski will contact the various property owners associations in Lakewood. Lakeland Park, West Shore Beach, Germantown, Spojnia and our own Cullom- Knoll association, in an attempt to stimulate^nterest and support for this cause and raise the necessary $500. Anyone who so wishes may send donations by check made out to McCullom Lake Restoration Fund, or go to the bank with your contribution, no matter how small and enter it in the fund account. Should the amount received exceed the required sum, the remainder will be used to benefit the lake. Lake improvement has progressed so well during the past few years, it would be a shame to allow it to lag now. Memorial Day Notes There was an early deadline for this column because of the Memorial Day holiday. The notes were turned in on Friday, May 25, so it was impossible to give an account of the ceremonies. They will appear | in next week's column. At j press time it was stated that j the Griffins, our 'teenage club, would lead the pledge of alle- I giance and Feme Carter | Pierce, democratic outgoing J state repre s e n t a t ive, was j scheduled to be guest speaker at our services. No doubt she made 'a fine appearance, for i she is one of the few women \ who can combine the arts of 1 achieving high political status j and remain .a devoted house- [ wife and mother. She's a i charming gal indeed --one j whose personality reaches ev ervone she contacts. from the audience When he injected opinions and witticisms of his own, appropos to the occasion. He is, incidently, the father of Nat King Cole, the recording star and TV personality. To tack on an extra bit, C h a i r m a n L e v e s q u e han d i e d the gavel for the^three cpunty caucus held at McHenry high school, Friday, May 18. The caucus was held for the purpose of selecting one candidate to fill the office of State Senatore. This would eliminate the need for a special primary. However, the primary may be necessary, for at press date, there's a good chance of another candidate filing his intentions to run for the office.

It is difficult to establish a starting point for mankind's practice of medicine and surgery to cure his ills, but we do know that prehistoric man was acquainted with trephining, a formidible piece of surgery. Many skulls bearing trephine holes have been unearthed in several areas of Europe. Trephining, as practiced by the ancients many thousands of years ago, wasn't done for the raising of depressed skull fractures. The absence of injury near the holes suggests that the early operations were preformed to provide escape for the demons which prehistoric man very likely held responsible for ailments such as epilepsy and migraine. Prehistoric man couldn't rely on a pharmacy such as MILLSTREAM DRUGS, INC. for relief of his ailments. Complete drugs and prescriptions, sundries including Rubenstein and Bonnie Belle cosmetics, American greetings cards are available at MILLSTREAM DRUGS, INC., 3720 West Elm, Jewel Shopping Plaza, Phone 385-5057. We give Double S&H Green Stamps with prescriptions. If you have any questions regarding pharmacy or public health which you would like to have discussed In this column, write to Russ Emerson, c/o this paper. Other Styles Available 6-Ft.
