• Thursday, November s, 1962 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Page Nineteen Sunny side Esiaies MOTHER-mUGHTEBt DINNER FOR GIRL SCOUTS A SUCCESS Joan Walczynski 3894109 Thfe Mother-Daughter dinned of Girl Scout Troop 296, which £>,.was held Saturday evening; ' Oct. 27, was both delicious and enjoyable. There were eleven girls and their mothers present, while three girls and their mothers missed it dtte to" previous „ commitments. K a t h y Barth and her mother, Marge, were really missed (due to the death of Marge's Grandmother) because this was to be Marge's last social affair for the girls, and she was to present the girls with their earned badges. In her absence, Marge Palmer and myself made the presentations, very informally I might add. Ten girls received from one to four different badges and four of the girls received one year pins; while six of the girls receded their five year pins, as did our committee woman, Catherine Dehn, 4 who has been a committee woman ever since the girls started out as Brownies. Our new girl, Kathi Parker, received a Girl Scout emblem hair barette. The girls who were absent from the dinner and presentation will receive thpir badges and pins at the next meeting. Happy Wanderers 4 Girl Scout Troop 8S had a big day Saturday, Oct. 27. too. They took a hike to Melody Ruth's farm, »two miles each way. Mary Jane Lakowske planned the games and songs for the hike, in keeping with the requirements of her second class rank. Leader, Alice Bieschke, said she did a fine job. Fun wgs had by all the Rip Day As you all know, Chuck Hiller Day was a huge success. Those of us who marched in the parade were proud to be part of it. The groups marching included Brownies, Girl Scouts, Cubs, Boy Scouts, Lit** tie Leaguers, etc., from our own subdivision. Troop 88 had ^ twenty-two girls in their group, Troop 295 had eight girls. There are ninety-nine Brownies and Girl Scouts in the Johnsburg area and sixtytwo of them were in the parade. There were five troops represented including Brownie Troop 150 and 389, Junior Girl Scout Troop 88 and Girl Scout Troop 88 and Girl Scout Troops 295 and 408. Visitors We arrived home from the parade to find that Grandma and Grandpa (Laura and AI Holtfodt) had company from Chicago., Val and Ben Weich and Clara Herman came out to visit with the Holtfodts. (Val and Clara are Laura's sisters;.) The Walczynski family w^tt down t& join in- on1 the visit and the Mikkelsen family dropfcfed in to say hello. As y6u probably have guessed, this liftle grri was pooped by the time Sunday night rolled arotftid. Ofrl Foresters The Juvenile Girl Foresters held their monthly meeting and Halloween party on Monday evening, Oct. 29, in the community club hall. The girls also had the first of monthly dance contests, this month the dances were the twist and the polka. Partying Johnny Lakowske was guest of honor at the birthday party on Monday, Oct. 29. His guests included Tommy Fry, Bob Martrnee, Mick and Rick Mikkelsen and Johnny's cousin, Danny Rieben. Also, his sister, Mary Jane, was in on the fun. First off, they played some football outside, thus taking the edge off some of their energy. They then came into the house where they enjoyed more games. This was followed by the eats, which included barbecue, chips and jello, plus ice cream cake. The boys took home carmel apples and a prize when they left after an afternoon of fun. Johnny was very pleased with his grand gifts. Sad News Stan's sister called us Sunday night with the sad news that his godfather's wife had passed away Sunday morning. She had been critically ill for the past five weeks, but we were naturally sorry to hear, nonetheless. Tuesday evening Stan and I and the children drove into Chicago for the wake. Stan ran into some fellows he hadn't seen since before the war, including one of the priests from Weber high. It's a shame it takes such a sad occasion to bring about what would otherwise have been a pleasant time. Cab Scoots Den 4 held their weekly meeting and Halloween party on Tuesday, Oct. 30. First of all, they worked further on their pack project and review the Bob Cat requirements. Then the party began. Being i n c o s t u m e , t h e y p a r a d e d around the house first and then enjoyed some songs and games. The boys then sang "Happy Birthday" to Johnny Lakowske and he brought the treat for this meeting, which was enjoyed along with their frozen orange pumpkins which they had made and decorated to freeze the previous week. Grand Time Halloween is over once again until next year, and as far as I could tell, all the goblins, witches, etc., etc., had a grand time, in spite of the cold weather. All the kids went out trick- or treatm* and.-as- usttaf,- all the folks in the subdivision were more' than generous. This was followed by the big party at the Palmer residence, which was well attended. There was the usual parade around the grounds and theri/the choosing of the best, prettiest, funniest, etc. After that came the refreshments, hot dogs, doughnuts, hot chocolate and coffee for all. By this time all the kids we® quite frozen, so most of thei^f left after they ate, and I j^an't say I blame them.- And *fhree cheers for Marge and f|arold Palmer for their usual generosity in having the party, which consisted of putting up all the decorations and obtaining all the food stuffs, etc., along with the preparation of same. The entire subdivision of Sunnyside Estates bows to you both in gratitude. And now, just a note of humor to pass along to you, through the courtesy of the Majors. Mike Major and Bob Kelso, not to be outdone by the youngsters with their "trick or treatin.", decided to trick them instead; so they took an Old pair of Steve pants and a shirt of Steve's and stuffed them to make a dummy, which they named "Homer." Then these two "brains" climbed on Major's roof and each time a group of children came calling for their treats, they would drop this "fellow" off the roof in front of the nicture window. Now, just to show you what s e c u r i t y a n d s t a b i l i t y t h i s younger generation has: The one time they did this, a little fellow turned around and said "Hey. Major, did you hurt yourself?" Ah. for the unworried mind of a child. Girl Scoots Troop 88 held their regularweekly meeting on Thursday evening, Nov. 1. After taking the usual dues and attendance, the girls played a relay race planned by Wanda Wiley. They then worked on their tenderfoot and second class ranks. This was followed by Barbara Kolb leading the troop in playing the telephone game. Then the girls were given a demonstration by Mr. Kinsala. He taught them how to make a simple flower and a rose. He also, showed how to make a soap fish and a decorated match box. Two of the girls celebrated birthdays; Kathy Jensen and Linda Leuth. The meeting ended with a friendship circle and the song "Run Along Home". Keep Date Open There is to be a bake sale held pn Nov. 17, sponsored by the S.E.H.O.A. Inc.

That beach was alive with youth --fuUof Jife, fun and anticipation., I couldn't help but feel even more grateful for the opportunities for our young people, after the scare we all had recently with the Cuban crises. What a terrible thing if we had to use all our energy for survival instead of having time for fun and enjoyment. Our 'kids' will long remember these Halloween parades and bonfires. A special word of appreciation to our Boy Scouts here who went around on Sunday with the flyers for the parade and built the fire at the beach with the able assistance of their Scoutmaster, Victor Justes, Sr. The gals on the committee were: Chady Ary, Kay Ryan, V i r g i n i a L u n d e l i u s , J i m m i e Justes, Irene Weiss and Eunice Heise.

A bad skid often results from a bum steer. According to the Institute for Safer Living. proper steering is the most important essential both for preventing a skid and in getting out of one. If you do find yourself skating on the road surface turn the wheel steadily in the direction of the skid until the car begins to travel in a straight line.
