Reconstructive Surgery for Young: Lad Bruce Thacker entered McHenry hospital on Friday and had surgery on Saturday to repair damage suffered when he stuck the cord from his mother's vacuum cleaner in his mouth in 1957. At the time of the accident, he was only 4%. Emergency treat m e n t was given at the time, but in December of that year, his doctor scheduled him for the first reconstructive operation. His mouth and lip did not heal as well as was expected and this second bit of surgery should do the trick. He came home from the hospital on Monday, but his activities will be curtailed for quite some time. Wouldn't it be nice to remember him with a "sunshine shower" of cards? To ease the burden of caring for her other children, Barbara's mother and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Benesh, have taken Roger Thacker back to Worth, for a few weeks. Auto Mishaps Galore Dorothy Cunningham is thrilled with the news that her car can be repaired, instead of being junked', after the accident she was in on Saturday, June 9.

She was extremely happy that none of her four children was a passenger at the time. Mrs. Ruth Smith was in volved in a two car collision on Spring Road near Maple Hill Drive last Tuesday morning.
