Pag© Fourteen THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, August 2,1962 Iff McHenry Shores WEATHERMAN FINALLY ALLOWS SUCCESSFUL PICNIC Patt Petersen - 885-5425 Although our picnic had to be postponed twice because of bad weather, it was never-theless a total success. I'm sure everyone had a delightful time and ate enough to last inem clear into next Tuesday. The weatherman was especially kind to us at last and s u n s h i n e a n d b r e e z e w e r e equally divided. The beach committee lor that week did a wonderful job at cleaning up grounds and beach alike. A special applause must surely go to Claire Mueller as ••clown"; it takes a certain combination of patience, understanding. love and knowhow to keep that many children occupied for so long . a lime. The picnic committee did "a lot of thoughtful planning and came up with a very smoothly run party. The food was good, the game were excellent, the day perfect. As picnic chairman, Bob Tanner, is to be commended, and Bob in turn is \efy pleased with everyone on the picnic committee. Bob said they were all willing workers. Those on the committee were as follows: Bob and Shirley Harpei, Terry and Willis Coates. Ed Yilim. Jeanne Egger. Charlie and Leona Wagner, Howard Lexow, Jack Risting. Clare Mueller. Walter and Bernice Wilson. Audrey Whitney and Mar-re Olszewski. There were also a number of others not on The committee who really pitched in and helped and their assistance was greatly appreciated. It would be impossible to list here all those who helped but I hope in mentioning it this way they will know their contribution did not go unheeded. Mr. Tanner stated that he would give a complete report of the nicnic at the next meeting of the McHenry Shores club. Meet the Lexovvs There's a very nice couple living at 3207 W. Terrace Drive and they go by the name of Howie and Joyce Lexow. They moved to "Shores" on May 27 in "61" and in November of the same year were blessed with a little pink bundle whom they call Beth. Howie attended Steinmetz high school and later did much world travelling in the Merchant Marines and in the Army. His occupation now is a service fitter but while in the service he was a cook. Joyce says he still likes to cook as long as it's on the grill outside. Both of the Lexows enjoy sports. Waterskiing, boating, horseshoes, bad m i n t o n, and swimming are on their ,-funimer menu. Bowling is a love they both share. Joyce is very lucky with motherly advice and a built-in babysitter right close by. Joyce's Mom and Dad, Mr. and Mrs. W. Wilson live right near by. Howie and Joyce both love the outdoors and camping. One year they travelled 5.000 miles to Seattle, Wish., and back and had a marvelous time. in the contest which was run similar to the Miss America Pageant. It Was quite a triumph for all three winners. There was a lump in the judges, throats when as a series of questions were asked each candidate, Linda answered hers with such adult directness and sincere thought. As second place" winner, Linda received a trophy, a lovely bracelet and of course, a bouquet of roses. Linda was on the teen-age fashion board of a large area department store for two years and lately has been aUending modelling school. The day before the Fiesta Day contest she received worn that she was among those chosen to model in one of liie big Loop department stores for their spectacular fall showing. Linda's Dad said he thinks she was more pleased with this news than with anything else. light, proper bathroom facilities, and their own beds. Our Own Queen Although Linda Schopp did not place first but rather first runner-up in the Fiesta Day queen contest in McHenry. I think more than one would agree to giving hr>r the title <?f Miss McHenry Shores. Linda faced stiff competition Two Girls at Camp There have been many hilarious tales of what children do at summer camp and of the letters they send home. Sometimes it is hard for the parents to see the humor in 1hese 'tales of camp life" and once in a while the letters home may send the parents flying by return mail to rescue thtir offspring. The following story is of two young ladies who enjoyed their camp life to the fullest and whose escapades were not of the type to alarm their parents. Even though one camp Jetter sent home spoke of delicious food' in one sentence and oatmeal which 'tasted like lue' in the next. The two young ladies are Shirley and Barbara Vilim who attended Camp Far Horizon's at Hanover, 111., near the Mississippi River. For two weeks the girls had to get used to lantern light, certain unusual facilities, sleeping on cots, in tents and cooking their own food. During their two-week stay they went on a three day, two night hike and really roughed it. (Even though at mealtimes a station wagon would drive up fully equiped with food and utensils. The girls had the satisfaction of cooking their own meal.) The camp natually acquired a mascot, which in this instance came in the form of a large black snake, approximately 4 to 5 feet long, and nicknamed Olive/. The counsel o r s a s s u r e d e v e r y o h e t h e snake was quite\harmless and only looking forI human companionship. I Oliver, however, became quite fat and happy on the girls' rations which he became very fond of. Any food left open at night, Oliver would manage to gfet into and would have to be shooed away in the morning. One morning the girls awoke face to face with a raccoon who had spent the night sleeping in their wash basin. One look, of course, sent raccoon and girls flying in opposite directions. On their last day theie all the girls were treated, by a near-by Boy Scout camp, to an Indian show and watermelon feast. The day they returned home the first thing each girl wanted tc do was to use an electric SSAC NEWS The Blank-Outs sure did have the tar beat out of them by the Sack-Hogs at the twilight ball game held prior to the regular meeting of the Shores Social and Athletic club the other night. The score, untotalled, was a little short of an astronomical figure The game, called because of darkness, was enjoyed by both the spectators and players. o At the meeting, trophies for t h e h o r s e s h o e t o u r n a m e n t were awarded to Ray Moore, Ed Olbinski and Bill Dostal. They finished the contest in that, order. The athletic committee announced that all members are eligible to participate in the golf tournament planned for Sunday, Aug. 19, Plans were outlined by the social committee for a steak cookout to be held on Saturday, Sept. 8. Promotional materials for this event wiil be distributed to all members shortly. Family Picnics Charlie and Leona Wagner also had a picnic the same day and place as the M.C.S. picnic. They had about thirty-five guests including friends and relatives. They really enjoyed themselves, what with taking the youngsters for boat rides, playing baseball and naturally, eating and relaxing. The Harpers also entertained with a family style pic nic. This took place the Sunday following the picnic and as you all know it poured and was as cold as the dickens. The picnic, therefore, progressed down to Harpers' basement in front of the fireplace and ended up as quite a cozy affair. The occasion for the picnic was actually to celebrate two birthdays at once. Garett Boor, who is Bob's father, and Mrs. Elmer Hemzaeek, who is Shirley's mother, both had birthdays fairly close together. Other guests included Shirley's two sisters and their families, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Drew, and their two children, and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sutfino, and baby, Kim. Shirley's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Hemzaeek, and sister, Sue. Shirley's grand parents. Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Betts, and two family friends, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Mack and Mr. and Mrs. Guy Riesland. Fishing Trip Irene and Trent Middlekauff spent a pleasant three weeks at a lodge up in northern Minnesota. The first week they were there, their son, Trent, Jr., and his wife, Barbara, and three children joined them. They had a marvelous time fishing for Walleye, bass and northern. They both enjoy fishing and casting and this was really an ideal spot. They have been going up to this particular lodge since Trent, Jr., was about two years old so it ftas become quite a yearly thing with them. Birthday Boy Terry Fluger was ten years old last week and celebrated the event with a party for a few of his friends. His guests were Randy Schren, Bob and Mike Ruemellen, and from McHenry; Brock Olson, and Johnny Bolton. Terry's grandparents were also there. They were treated to a delicious barbecue. ice cream and cake and spent, the afternoon playing baseball. Swimming Lessons A group of children from the Shores have been going to Crystal Lake for swimming lessons every day since summer started. Patty, Leslie and Tracy Brunke, Sandy. Nancy and David Winters, and Craig Barrows have been going faithfully every day for the past four weeks and will continue to go another two weeks to learn to swim. The mothers say they're really learning, tco. Board of Directors Meeting At the last meeting of the board of directors it was decided to divide the group into ten parts with each group visiting ten or sixteen families to pass out the admission tickets for our good times party this fall. When you are visited by this committee member or members you will also be asked about previously issued tickets. Please give these people as much cooperation as possible. It will certainly be appreciated. Company's Coming The Winters family had visitors from Woodbury, N. J., last week. Mr. and Mrs. William Cooper and son stopped by. on their way to and from Seattle World's Fair. Louise and Sam also had visitors last Thursday who stayed for several days. Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Winters of Maple Shade, N. J., and their family were looking forward tc some airplane rides. Helen and August Smith were visited by their daughter and son-in-law, Betty and Hugo Forsberg, and their child-, ren, Peter, Karen, and Christine, from Dayton, Ohio. They Pete's by Pete Peters Many drivers ask us at PETE'S SINCLAIR about when to change oil. They want to know the mileage that's best. This is an old pro and con discussion topic, some saying every 1,000 miles and others more. Actually, the mileage for oil change depends on the kind of miles you drive. The average driver that makes short runs and mostly at city speed, should change every 1,000 miles because his motor accumulates 'sludge' from low motor temperature. On the other hand, long distance driv ers can prolong the benefit of oil usage for three and four thousand miles. Of course, there are other conditions, too . . . dusty roads, extreme cold weather, engine condition that would contamin ate oil more quickly. To be sure, drive in at 4416 W. Rt. 120, Lakeland Park and let us check your oil regularly the filter too. Ask About Our Free Wash or Lube Service Plan. Does your auto insurance expire in August?

Two Accidents in Area We were sorry to hear that Mr. Morris had an injury to his hand while working with his lawn mower last week, and also that the eldest Kaleno boy fell from the tractor on which he was riding and received a broken leg. I was unable to get much information on either of these accidents and am hoping that both Victims are In much better condition by now. Lunch at Farm Restaurant Five ladies from the Shores area had lunch this past week at a famous rustic-typie farm restaurant in Bensenville. Mildred Snively, Virginia Verstege, Irene Mueller, and Mrs. Stevie Korsyzk had their card party and a veiy pleasant lunch in these unusual surroundings.
