Page Twelve THE McHENRY PLA1NDEALER is Thursday, November 15. 1962 Sunnyside Estates DeFranciscos Move From Area Inez Young As yoi| probably have heard by now, the Joseph DeFrancisco family of Hilltop Drive have moved away from the subdivision. Due to the distance Joe had to travel to work, he never had much time left with the family, so they found It necessary to move closer to his place of work. All the children (Louie, Poppy, Joey and Sharon) all hated to leave, as did their mother, Mary, but it was the most practical thing to do. No doubt, they'll be back visiting Mary's sister and family, Rose and Tom Felicetti, so we'll see them now and again. We would like to wish them the very best in good luck and happiness in this new venture. The new residents who purchased the DeFrancisco home are Sharon and David Bathke, and we would like to take this opportunity to welcome them to our community. When I get the chance, I'll pay them a call and welcome them more formally and we'll have a visit with them via the paper. received their awards and were initiated into Cubs. Girl Scouts Troop 88 devoted the entire meeting this week to modeling with homemade clay. Mrs. Osterlund was kind enough to come and show the girls just how to go about it. Leader, Alice Bieschke, tells me she was very pleased with the products that the girls put out. They also devoted some time to their tenderfoot and second class ranks and they held a court of honor. Alice and her co-leader, Sylvia Von Obstfelder, are pleased to have with them a senior aide, Cathy Ruth, to help with the girls. Cookie hostesses for the week were Debbie Stull and Connie Jablonski. Women of the Moose Wedding Bells Rang out for Jackie Kubicz and Edward Lakowske, Jr., on Saturday, Nov. 3 at St. Gertrude's Church in Franklin Park. Betty and Bob Lakowske and children, Mary Jane and Johnny, attended the ten o'clock Nuptial Mass at which Bob's nephew and godchild was married to his lovely bride. The wedding was beautiful, with the bride in the usual white and her five attendants in turquoise gowns. There was a breakfast for just the immediate family following the ceremony. The dinner and reception for approximately two hundred people was held that evening at six-thirty at the American Legion hall in Franklin Park. Betty tells me that the food was terrific and the music was so good that she and Bob danced every dance. Even the children enjoyed themselves. So a good time was had by ali. Congratulations to the newly weds. The Lakowskes took the opportunity of the free time in the afternoon to drive to Chicago to visit her aunt and uncle, so they certainly had a full day of it. Welcome Home We are very pleased to know that Florence Kanter is home once again and in talking to her yesterday she tells me it's mighty nice to have their family back together again, as we can well imagine. Take it easy, Flo, and the very best of good luck to you. It certainly seems that you have had more than your share of troubles. Johnsburg P.T.A.

Our Sympathy To LaVerne and Joseph Jost on the death of LaVerne's uncle, George Simonis of Mundelein. His sudden death was a shock to everyone and may we offer o u r condolences tu the family. Girl Scouts Troop 295 held its regular weekly meeting at the Palmer residence with all but one girl attending. In the absence of Cory Patterson (due to a sprained ankle) who was to work once again with the girls piacticing knots, Marge Palmer and I tried to bring the girls up to date on their badges and we laid some future plans for troop activities. We then had our refreshments and closed the meeting with the hand squeeze circle. Cub Scouts Den 4, of which den Johnny Lakowske is a member, along j with the other three dens that i Pack 452 is comprised of had the pleasure of a trip through tho McHenry fire station on Sunday, Nov. 4. The boys were thrilled with the things they saw and did. The weekly meeting of Den 4 was-held at the Stull residence and the boys painted and finished their project for the November pack meeting. This tooR'Up most of the time, and with the time left they sang songs and had their refreshments, which was supplied by Dick Jablonski. The Pack meeting of Pack 452 was held Wednesday, Nov. 14 at which time the bovs Signing Off Stan and I suffered what we considered a great loss this past week. Through a miscarriage on Tuesday evening we lost what would have been our fourth son. We know th&t God must have had good reason for this, but our hearts were heavy nonetheless. Everyone who learned of it was most kind and considerate and we want everyone to know that we certainly did appreciate the After working for a whole year as Senior Regent, Ethel Bruce received her invitation to be honored at a Green Cap ceremony. The day for this is always the last Sunday in October. This year it was held on Oct. 28. Every state holds one of these sessions. The one in Illinois was at Mattoon. Due to the long distance it was decided to attend the one held in Monroe, Wis. The co-workers who attended this session with Ethel were the following; Alyce Kowal, senior regent, Ethel Hagberg, treasurer, Marjorie Fernstrom, recorder, Harriet Formella, Moosehaven chairman, and Mabel Thomas, a member of the College of Regents. At this ceremony it is necessary for a member of the College of Regents to help with the capping and Mabel was Ethel's capping officer. The deputy grand regent in charge of the day was Doris Zitelman of the Milwaukee chapter. All of the stations were filled by members of the College of Regents. There was a total of sixty-five College of Regent members present. Thirty-one chapters were represented by the thirty-one Junior Graduate Regents who received their green caps. The number of Women of the Moose present were 284 and 151 of these members were from the state of Illinois. The members of the Monroe Chapter and the Monroe Lodge were very good hosts and hostesses. A good time was had by all. The deputy grand regent announced that the academy of friendship session, which will be the first Sunday in May, 1963,: is to be held in Milwaukee, Wis. We do not know for sure where the vone in Illinois will be held. Our green cap girl has already received an invitation to be guest at a green cap night in Antioch on Nov. 15. If at all possible she will plan many offers of help that came to us. That's the reason the column is somewhat short this week; although I did type up all the news I had. Call me with your news this week, won't you? 'Bye now! to attend with any of the coworkers who wish to go. Nov. 11 is the tfteak dinner at the McHenry Moose home.

The meeting held on Tuesday, Nov. 6, was the library chapter night program. Due to the absence of the library chairman, co-worker Jane Roewer was in charge. Our thanks to Jane for filling in.

'•£ Just a few reminders to some of our members; don't forget to check your dues receipts: also remember the Harrison Board Discusses Care Of Students In Defense Tests Care of students during civil defense tests or alerts and many situations that can be expected were explored by the Harrison school board.

Approved, expenditures from the November budgets also include : $14,824 edu c a t i o n a I fund: $1,875 building fund; $550 transportation fund; $8,- 684 payroll fund. Balance at the end of September was $37,230. Commends Speech Work The state commended the Harrison speech correction program under Elizabeth Kohlman, and will reimburse the school a total of $3,000 to help cover costs. Payment of $2,746 has been received. Balance of the program cost to Harrison is about $1,300. The program is shared with Ringwood school. Land drainage behind Harrison school has progressed to contract drafting stage, but again^ was momentarily delayed for legal clarification of three points. Scholastic eligibility of students to play extra-curricular basketball in the Lakes Athletic Conference, of which Harrison is a member, came under critical discussion. A report that one teacher's low grading had kept nearly half of the boys in one class off the eligibility list received careful consideration, from the viewpoint of grading policy, studies, homework and value of the inter-school play. In birds, the female is plain and shy, while the male has the flashing colors, bold ways and songs. This is to help her avoid detection, and thus protect the young. In humans, the reverse is true --the female flaunts the bright colors and fancy styles, while the drab male is content with last year's suits, ties and shoes. Reason: maybe they need protection, too. £ Tn moulting, two feathers, and two feathers only, are dropped each day by birds. Nature thus enables them to get around while nhaneing clothes. FLOOD GROUP URGES RETURN OF LOSS FORMS The Chain O'Lakes Flood Control committee this week made a plea for the return of „t he completed statement of loss forms regarding losses ana damages suffered by area residents in the spring- floods ot 1960 and 1962. Several hundreds of these forms were requested by the various subdivision associations, organizations and affected individuals of the Chain O'Lakes and the Fox River area. The committee is anxious to complete this phase of the flood program by- Dec. 1 and it is imperative they have the full cooperation of the homeowners and those who suffered these losses. This information is vitally needed for presentation to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to enable them to take constructive action in this area. Louis D'Alba, chief of the Army Engineers Flood Control section, has stated that Congress will \act only if it is shown that damages from flooding are sufficiently high to warrant an investment in flood control by the U.S. government in the Fox river basin. D'Alba reported it is up to each community to gather data on flood damages and requested reports of every known case of damage and loss. The Chain O'Lakes committee has prepared a very simple, uncomplicated report form on which property owners can list flood-caused damage and loss of many different kinds. These reports are in no sense a claim for reimbursement, for there exists no provision for such payments. The statement of loss forms have been distributed throughout the entire Fo^f river and Chain O'Lakes area. The committee reports they have received over 300 completed forms to date but knowthere are many forms still to be submitted. The statement of loss forms for the McHenry area can be obtained from, and returned to the McHenry Plaindealer, the Frank E. Low Insurance agency, the McHenry State Ban% and the Krause News Agency. In the Johnsburg area they can be obtained from Joseph Frett or Henry Nell. Many of our discoveries and inventions are the results of fear --fire, to free from darkness: anesthesia, to free from pain; education, to free from ignorance.
