Page Twelve THE McttEflRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, November 8, 1962 McCullom Lake EARLY PIONEER DIES IN CHICAGO HOSPITAL OCT. 31 Eve Levesque In spile of. her 79 years and failing health, Mrs. Elise (Grandma) Rognstad was a guest at the Screwy Dozen party in September, held here in the village. Her time ran out on. Wednesday of last week in Northwest hospital. Mrs. Rognstad was born in Norway on Feb. 22, 1883. She and her husband Trygve resided in Chicago until the 1930s when they moved to McCullom Lake. He preceded her in death in 1955, During their years in the city, both were active in the Sons of Norway, and Mrs. Rognstad was a past president qf the Freydis Lodge, No. 63. They wove rin integral part of the community during their many \v:us of residence and were always present at any kind of a party. Trygve was noted for his ready wit and some of his "bon mots" are still being quoted. Grandma Rognstad left her cottage on Maple Hill Drive some time after the dealh of her husband and took up residence with her daughter and husband, Margit and Fred Thomsen. Sr., iti Chicago. She is also survived by her three grandchildren, Mrs. Alice Johnsen. Fred, Jr., Pat Thomsen. and three great-grandchildren. Services were conducted at the Peter Justen and Son funeral home. 2 p.m. Saturday, with interment in Woodland cemeterv. recovery, he should be home some time this week. "A cheery greeting to both of them would mean so very much. Progress Report On Jeanette Whitney Last week's news on Jeanette was so favorable and th£n by Wednesday, it turned much worse. Now the progress report is again on the upswing. She will require immediate surgery on her hip, according to the story we received on Sunday. Although she cannot speak, she does recognize members of her family by nodding her head, and she does have movement in her arms. Accox* ding to the report, she now has a 50-50 chance for recovery' and \our prayers for her well being \v< uld certainly help. She is a n>tient at Augustana hospital. Nov. 12 at 8 pirn. The public is invited. Accident Victims Three of our residents sustained injuries in two separate accidents last Saturday evening. They are Mrs. Barbara and daughter, Donna, DeMar and Fred O'Halleran. The first collision occurred when Jack had journeyed into town to pick up his sister and mother from their places of employment. Both women were taken to McHenry hospital where Mrs. DeMar had stitches on her ankle and Donna was stitched on the forehead. Jack was uninjured. They were released immediately. Fred O'Halleran was a passenger in a car which ended up in the creek near the McHenry Country club. Details appear elsewhere in the Plaindealer. He, also, was taken to McHenry hospital and then released. Hospital Patients Dorie Brennan was rushed to McHenry hospital by ambulance about 10:30 p.m. Saturday for emergency treatment. The Brennans lost the expected addition to their family. After a night's rest, she was released for home convalescence. As of Sunday, she iwas feeling "chipper" and expected to return to work shortly- Wally Hojnacki went under the surgeon's scalpel at McHenry hospital Monday morning. He checked in on Sunday afternoon (under his own steam). With luck and a fast Schlofner Name Preserved For Posterity! In a family with four girls, the hope of carrying on the name dims considerably with the passage of time. But there :s joy in the Schlofner household now with the birth of their first son on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 4. A real red letter day for them. The shook vas too much and as of Monday morning, the little guy was still unnamed! We'll run that gem next week. Wee Schlofner checked into McHenrv hospital where mama Verna just Inpped to be waiting, weighing 7 lbs., 3 oz. and measured .213i inches. Mother and son were probably discharged yesterday. Eagerly their very Donna 13, and Janet of police set lip a siting so can have couldn't be tire familv waiting to greet own brother were Linda 12, Celia 9, 7. Verna and Chief Jack will have to schedule for babyeach of the gals th^ir chance! We happier for Ihe en- This is real joy! Another Accident Victim First grader Wendy Lee Cunningham is sporting a sling these days as a result of the tumble she took over her brother Billy's truck a week ago Tuesday. The injury was not noticed immediately until she had trouble getting undressed. X-rays revealed she had dislocated her elbow so that means about six weeks of discomfort for her and extra work for mother Dorothy! These things do happend. Ladies Meet Tonight Members of the Ladies of the Lake are requested to bring their donations of staple groceries and canned goods to the meeting tonight at 8 p.m. in the beachhouse. These items will be put in bushel baskets for use at the turkey trot on Nov. 17. This is the last meeting before our big annual event and we peed the presence of every gal in the community.

Greeting The Senator A wonderfull thrill for Jake and myself was meeting Senator Everett McKinley Dirk sen on Wednesday of last week, when he spoke before a full house at a restaurant in Crystal Lake. We had very short notice, only from Saturday to Wednesday to distribute over 500 tickets for lunch, but the job was accomplished. The Senator's address was uplifting and inspiring. Everything. that has been written about his "silver tongued oratory" is so true. He does holr) his audience spellbound. This was our second encounter with the Senator. Jake, as county chairman for the Republican party, had the good fortune to serve in the capacity of master of ceremonies and it was truly a thrilling afternoon. Others from the community who attended were Art Stuhlfeier, Frank Parkhurst, Sally Olsen and Elma Nelson. The Senator's obvious worth to the country was best demonstrated when he was recalled to Washington in the midst of the political campaign, by the President. It was exciting also to meet in person, lhat surprise ball player of the year -- phuck Hiller. He is just as shy and charming as he appeared on TV. Teen Topics The youngsters of the village 'net on Oct. 30 to make tentative plans for a dance Nov. 23. Nina Tomasello is the chairman and she is to make arrangements for obtaining the Moose hall. The kids have decided to reexamine their by-laws and Nancy Morris, Nina Tomasello and Nancy Burg will serve on 'his committee. In order to have their dances throughout the winter, the young people are making arrangements to hold them in the Arthur Miller garage. Heat is the problem right now. For the Christmas season, members of the club plan to make and sell ornaments and Roy Watson and Dorn Tomasello are to investigate the possibility of obtaining Christmas trees 1o sHL-^-- maybe within the village limits. The next meeling will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 20. Mother And Daughter Ile-l'nite After 15 Years'.

Karen entertained her guests on Friday, Oct. 26, and they included Louise Matthesius, Janet Hansen, John Bailey, SA Sandy Senter, Cynthia Loser, Sandy Zahn, Tom arid Jim Carroll, Mark Hansen, Jack Granath and J. R. Levesque. Since our D.D. and Kevin are "betrothed," she was there as his- guest. Janet Hansen and J. R. won prizes for best costumes while Mark and Cynthia "copped" honors for winning most games. The second party took place on Halloween night for Kevin's boy chums and those present were Steve and Cindy Kinsey, Mike Schlitt, Billy Schmitt, John Matthesius and Donny Parenti. Johnny won the best costume award and Mike and Billy won prizes for games. The McKim interior and exterior were 1 appropriately deco r a t e d f o r t h e o c c a s i o n a n d the kids really feasted. Farewell Party The Robert Zahn family will be moving to Florida in the near future and to give Sandy and Bobby a reason for nostalgia, their friends feted them with a farewell party last Frilay night.

Smith at the McHenry po^t office has announced that a mail standarization program by the Post Office department will begin Jan. 1. 1963. Patrons, but most specifically, manufacturers of envelopes 4jnd mailer firms should start ^pinning now for the changes in trailing procedures which will go into effect. These changes are the first step towards mail standardi z a t i o n, and will eliminate a major source of delay in mail processing the extremely small and odd kinds of mail which cause trouble in modern cancelling machines and other postal mechanization equipment. Two of the new rullings are mandatory -- two are recommended. The two MANDATORY standards are: Pieces less than 3 inches in width (height) or 4 ',4 inches in length will not be mailable; Pieces having shapes other than rectangular (4 right angles) will be nonmailable. The two recommended standards are: Pieces having a ratio of height to length of less than 1 to 1.414 (1 to the square root of 2) are not recommended; pieces wHtch are not sealed or secured on all four edges so that they may be handled by machines are not recommended. These new standards are being adopted so that progress can be made in the development of economical mail handling machinery. Mail processed by machines must be consecutively passed through automatic culling, facing- cancelling, and sorting devices at machine speeds. Each piece is repeatedly stacked, destacked, transported by roll and belt conveyors, free-fallen, and gated. Envelopes, double post cards, and self mailers with loose flaps and unsealed edges interleave with other mail and cause frequent jams in the equipment resulting in damaged mail and time-consuming delays.
