During the course of the eventful day they came in contact with another cousin, Father Augustine Rottering of Atchinson, Kansas. Mumps On Parade David Oeffling returned to school late last week after being "stuck in" for quite a spell with the mumps. Another recent victim was Bobby Martinec. Just about the time one side cleared up, the other side started up. Greg Schmitt is also confined to his home with a case of the mumps.

His proud sponsors were this reporter and spouse, Jim. Our two families enjoyed dinner served in the Wakitsch home prior to the baptism. Randy was the center of attraction on his big day, needless to say. Busy Monttt For Birthday The George Oeffling family sure is partial to the month of February. David observed Ms ninth birthday on February 13 while Mom, Sarah, has a birthday on Feb. 22 and Dad, George, on Feb. 25. This is not the end either -- Sarah presented George with a lovely baby girl last Sunday Feb. 10. This is indeed special as the wee one wasn't expected until the middle of next month. Some miscalculations I guess! Pamela Rose weighed 6 lbs., iVi. oz. when she arrived at the Harvard hospital. She has two more brothers, namely Duane and Douglas. Grandparents of the new baby are Lawrence Cook, who resides with George and Sarah, and the senior George Oefflings. Congratulations to all! Wonder Lake KIWANIS CLUB .

COUNTY TY m TOPICS TV STUFF by Ed VestRjari GERM POWER We've heard some breathtaking ideas about man's electronic ingenuity, but this is one of the most resourceful. A radio transmitter that operates by 'germ power.' The electricity is generated by harmless bacteria feeding on sugar and living in test tubes containing sea water. Scientists claim this type of power could produce all the current that man would ever need. Also, the by-product would be fresh water from the oceans. Don't ask us at COUNTY TV and Furniture Center about details on this discovery. We get our electrical source from the wall outlet in your living room when servicing your television set.
