Thuntday, September 6, 1962 THE McHENBY PIJUNDEALER Wonder Lain VANDALS CAUSE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AT LOCAL LAUNDRY Mary Lou Hartog - Our local launderette was again the target for the group of vandals who have nothing better to do than prowl around at night causing misery to other people. Mrs. iSteffan of the Wonder Lake Laundry said the rear door had been broken open and all the finished laundry had been opened and scattered all over the floor and mixing up everyones laundry in the process. It all had to V be washed and ironed again and sorted to the best of her ability. She still has some which she doesn't know to whom it belongs. Sick List Hospitalized last week were Mrs. Florence Bell and Mrs. Elizabeth Holmes. Latest Thing in Babies A sweet young lady was born to Mr. and Mrs. Don Berlin of Woodstock. Mrs. Berlin is the former Jean Clinton of Wonder Lake. A baby girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. Donald Sorensert on Aug. 27. Mr. and Mrs. Jon Marshall of Wonder Lake announce the birth of their first child, Dcbra Helene, on Aug. 17 in Christ Community hospital in Chicago. Maternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Erich Marks, Lake Shore Drive, and paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Charles Marshall, Batavia. The baby's mother is the former Adele Marks. Harrison PTA News Fathers will get more attention at Harrison Parent- Teacher meetings this year. President Ardele Bell announced. Speaking for the executive board, Mrs. Bell said that men have a lot to offer PTA with their abilities and diversified interests. The .iob is to get them to attend meetings. The first one of the new year is Tuesday, Sept. 11, at 8 p.m. in Harrison school. On the other hand, she continued, PTA has much to offer men and programs are designed to prove it. The opening meeting is built around "Hobbies for Hubbies". It consists of talks and discussions on model railroading by members of the Wonder Lake Model Engineer's Society; Flowers and Gardening, by Mary Lou Hartog; Art, by Garret Beverwick, and Music, by pianist-organist Charles Jacobson. The meeting also will feature introduction of school board members, the teaching staff, officers of PTA, and the annual membership drive. The goal is to exceed last year's roll of members. In addition, for purposes of determining the room attendance award to the teacher having the largest parent attendance each meeting, extra points will be given to men. "So, when a child says, "Dad, you can earn points for my room', Well, Dad, get the point by coming to PTA!", said Mrs. Bell. Other program highlights: Oct. 9 -- "Reading instruction in Primary Grades"; Nov. 13-- Open House, featuring physical fitness programs for youth; Jan. 8 -- World Problems and International Relations Confronting Youth; Feb. 12 Fun Night, in charge of Pat Dustheimer whose surprise program last year is still the talk of the community; March Pete's #by Harry Peters COST LESS PER MILE The oil filter is the most important accessory of your automobile's engine. It keeps dust, dirt and sludge from getting into the crankcase oil, thereby allowing smooth lubrication of bearings and cylinder walls. Without this protection the accumulated grit in the oil would be acting like sand- * paper, wearing into the important metal and life of your car. Even the best of filters become clogged with impurities after four or five thousand miles And should be changed. PETE'S SINCLAIR specializes in checking this important part of the automobile, and would like to be of service to you. The drive over to 4416 W. Rte. 120, Lakeland Park for this . important auto services will ^ keep your mile-to-mile travel cost lower than you ever experienced before. We may look like just another filling station, but let us prove that we Can do a lot more for you. 12 -- Robert F. Topp, Dean, College of Education, DeKalb University; April 9 -- Fathers' Night, featuring the magic of Bill McKibben, introduction of school board candidates for the April election, and a tie-in with the school's Science Fair; May 14 -- Music Appreciation. Committee assignments for the year are almost completed and will be announced shortly, Mrs. Bell said. Anyone interested in volunteering for any of a number of diverse activities available in PTA should contact her. Ski Show Held on Sunday The fourth annual ski show of the W. L. Ski Club was held next to Lookout Point beach at 2:30 pim. last Sunday. There were approximately fifteen acts, including Terry Brannbetg doing the barefoot act and Glenn Riedel, the "jump shoe", pyramid and piggy back. Ron Simczak is president of this group. Kiwanis News Lenny Freund opened the meeting by reporting the total profit from the bowling banquet amounted to $45.29. The figure is somewhat astounding considering the lack of attendance. President Joe remarked that Frank Higgins has put in much time and work to legalize our original charter. Lenny asked if a picnic should be held this year. It was suggested that a "Ladies Night" and the picnic on Sept. 23 be combined and that the men do all the work. If interested in attending contact Lenny Freund, 3602 N. Richmond Road, McHenry. We will figure 100 per cent on the response from this publication <md if the response is not great enoueh, there will be no picnic. Paul Eberle gave the program for the evening. He spoke on the growth of the post office in Wonder Lake, over the Dast year. He noted that our P.O. now serves over 1,500 people in the Wonder Lake and Ringwood areas, with the addition of the third route, which was established last week. Lakeland Park CANCEL GENERAL MEETING UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE Gloria Flannlgan - 385-4710 Barbara Mearer - 885-4856 The Lakeland Park Property Owners association has cancelled the general meeting they had planned for Sept. 9. Please watch this column for the future date of this meeting. More Next Week I've handed out a pretty skimpy looking column this week and it's my own fault I guess -- I forgot to tell you that I had to have the column in on Friday on account of the holiday. My news giver-outers don't get on the ball until Sunday morning with calling in the news so come Sunday there I'll be with egg on my face and no column to write. Well, we'll just have to double up next week. I'll probably have so much to write next week the powers that be will write me a note and tell me not to be so verbose (that's being a gab artist among us common folks.) Don't be afraid to call in. I love to gab on the phone. I do it all day long. Donald W. Flynn Dies Aug. 80 Donald W.' Flynn, 64, of 8504 Riley Road, died Thursday in McHenry hospital.

Visiting the Jack Oakfords last Sunday, Aug. 28, were his cousin and wife, Graham and Vivian Oakford, from Dixon. Betty and Bill Walker spent four days on a trip to Hot Springs, Ark. They took a hot bath in the famous hot springs down there, stopped at the Merrimas Caverns and saw Jesse James hideout, and visited the safe "Little Las Vagas" where three famous Japanese girls were performing. Barb Meurer and the kids took a last fling before school started by going to Lombard last Thursday where they visited with various friends before ending up at her sister's house in Wheaton where a lunch was served. Nancy Matthews was an overnight guest of Linda Meurer last Thursday. The girls did lots of talking before settling down for the night.

Also Diane Page Eleven Sunnyside Estates SIMMONS FAMILY ENJOY GUESTS DURING SUMMER Joan WalcEynski 383-3105 The Simmons household on Grandview Drive is always full of guests it seems. Mel's brother, Floyd Simmons, and his daughter, Sherry, were guests for a few weeks the beginning of August and these past two weeks, their house guest has been Ann Carstensen of Chicago. Usually every weekend they have a houseful of friends and relatives enjoying their hospitality. Cordial folks, the Simmons. More Guests . Mr. and Mrs. Kimbro enjoyed the pleasure of a visit from Kate and Bert Reese, former residents of Sunnyside Estates. Friends of theirs will be happy to hear that Bert has retired and as of Oct. 1 they are moving to Florida to spend their leisure years taking life easy in an easy climate. Another guest that same Sunday afternoon was Pat Spindler. Did you know that Pat has sold her home here in our community and moved into an a p a r t m e n t ? W e , t o o , j u s t learned of it, and an occurance of Sunday proved how much she is a part of this community. When she backed her car out of Kimbro's driveway she backed out so as to head up the hill to her old house, instead of out of the subdivision: See. we get in your blood!

Toots Gerstad was hostess for a demonstration last Tuesday, Aug. 28. There were about fifteen women attending. Orange sherbei t, cookies and coffee were served. .Tripoley Party Ann Herzog had a "spare of the moment" Tripoley party last Wednesday evening with friends, Delia Julian, Edna Hountras. Ivy Lezak, Helen Kraskiewicz and Ruth Mc- ^Ma^hon. aDancing Party The pre-teen girls of our subdivision from St. John's school held a pre-school dancing party last Monday afternoon and evening. It was an everyone-pitch-in type of party and was held at the Palmer residence. The girls attending w e r e M a r y A n d e r s o n ; h e r cousin, Jean Oelrich, from Chicago; Carol Dehn; Mary Farley; Kandy Kobus; Kathy Palmer and Judy Walczynski. The entire day was spent dancing, eating, talking, dancing, eating, etc. Well, I could go on and on, but I won't I'll never know how Marge Palmer could take the music and talking so long, but she didn't call for help, so I'll just say "Orchids to you. Marge, for being the type of mother you are." Picnic, Anyone? What was supposed to have been a family birthday gettogether turned out to be a mess of misunderstood arrangements. Stan's sister, Aida, and children. Sue, Peg and Bob, (Daddy Stan Zmudzki had play-offs in his golf club) were to come here and we were going to go on a picnic to celebrate all the August birthdays in the family (which happened to be mine and Billy's). Well, the Zmudzkis understood us to say we'd meet them at the picnic grove and since the weather was so lousy we thought they were just simply coming late; and, to make a long story short, they sat at the picnic grove for over three hours and we sat here at home waiting for each other to arrive. Just as we decided to take a ride to the picric grove to check, they pulled up in front of the house. Well, it took a while to get together, but we had a wonderful remainder of the day. And to top it off, our Mary Joan went home with them for a few days. You'd think with so many kids around you wouldn't miss one, but we do miss her, very much. Sick List The only one I've heard about is Ray Kropf who strained his back down at work. He was home for a few days, keeping mother Millie hopping. Just when she thought she was going to take it easy, since Georgie returned to work this past week, after his bout with pneumonia. School Dnse Speaking of taking it easy, how many of you mothers are in your glory now that school is back in session? Really living it up, huh? Not me, I miss the help I had, but I think the REMEMBER: THE SAVINGEST MONTH IS SEPTEMBER AT YOUR RAMBLER DEALERS Month after month the '62 Rambler is setting new sales records.

Tomorrow, Sept. 7, Donna and Ray Jensen will celebrate four years of married life. And Sept. 12 is shared by Dolores and Donald Gerstein, who will celebrate nine years and Joanne and Andrew Eichhorn who have' three to record so far. Congratulations to all of you. May you share many, many years together. Signing Off The column is short this week, I know, but that's due to the early deadline. Hope you'll make up for it next week by really swamping me with calls. Until then, I'll say, 'Bye Anchors Away The Kinnerk family is sending its second son to the Armed Forces this week..

Those helping him celebrate were his brother and sisters, Joey, Mary Therese and Puppet, and friends, Tommy and Wayne, Kawell, Mike and Jimmy Tobias, Peachie Pogany and Lessie Venable. The kids enjoyed cake and ice cream. Judging from the giggling and squealing, I would conclude a good time was had by all.
