THE McHENBY PLAINDEALER Lakeland Park -INCOME SCOUTS BACK FROM HIKE TO STARVED ROCK Barbara Meurer -- S85-435fi Kay Druml -- 385-4811 This story actually had its beginning 3 long years ago when Scoutmaster Ed Druml, Sr., had another troop for a weekend camp out to Starved Rock. He made a./statement tj|ht some day he wanted to -hike a troop there and last Saturday his desire was an- -Sttered. At a party for the * troop last September, when our ^ troop was only 11 months old, .. he announced bis desire to out - troop. A great many said it " couldn't be done, the children of today are sissies, he was tcM, but plans were begun . then "and now they are among the lasting memories of sixteen Scouts and four adult leaders, not counting the memories of all the boys' parents. The hike began on Saturday, June 8, from our community house, at 6:12 a.m. The first night they camped in Marengo, second night at a forest preserve in Genoa. The third night they were permitted to camp at Hopkins Park in DeKalb. The boys and leaders were swimming at 2 o'clock in the park's pool. The troop had been treated to pop by the V.F.W. In Marengo and the DeKalb post treated them, along with the American Legion, to hot dogs, marshmallows, swimming, and to 10 gallons of milk. Th DeKalb county sheriff's patrols kept constant check on the - hikers and went out of their way to assist the troop. Wednesday evening had our troop in Ottawa. Here they were taken out to a restaurant . by Boy Scout Troop 48 for a good "sit down meal." Our Scoutmaster was interviewed on their radio station. Our boys also played ball with the Ottawa troop. After all that walking they could still play ball. " • Thursday saw the troop reach their destination. Camp was set up and boys were asking for • permission to go to the refreshment stand which was IVi miles each way from camp. They also played ball each day (several tirties each day to be exact). Noticed several of the belts on the hikers have been moved over one notch but it wasn't from lack* of good nourshing 1. food. ,. „ Caws ami of foot powder Were used for tired feet, lots of Kubbiag lotion for aching muscles plus jars of ointment for sun"burn. The boys behavior was excellent. All the men stated that proudly. One of the things that fondled me was the way almost each boy greeted his mother upon her arrival at the park. Each time a mother arrived, you would see her son make a dash for his tent and ejjierge with a gift he had used part of his spending money for and proudly stand and wait for her to open it. The boys had to come to each meal with clean face and hands and their hair combed. Everyone had his turn at chores to do. Several mothers and families went out to the camp and also camped n<?ar the boys. Thursday saw Bette, Ronnie and Cindy Kamp, Laurie Mrotz and Kay Druml setting up a campsite. On Friday they were joined by Agnes, Donnie and Jol Lynn Prazak, Irv, Dottie, Kathy, Mary and l^argie (NoDoze> Bepker and grandma and grandpa Becker. They all stayed at a motel. Also arriving to camp on Friday were Bill Kamp, Ron, Sue and four of the Funk children. We understand they all had a ball. Saturday morning the following parents arrived, the Georges, Links, Jane GrothiTian, Frank Ficek and daughter, Linnane family, Ossler family and DeMarco family. A big picnic lunch was held and camp taken down. This was almost the end of a week these boys and men will never forget, a big surprise was awaiting them in their home town as the actual climax. Before we get to that though we'd belter mention that newspapers in every town had write-ups on the troop and also took pictures. Irv Becker, assistant scoutmaster for the troop, was unable to take the hike but he planned a terrific homecoming for the troop. Hank Koehl of the V.F.W. Post was his partner in the affair. The caravan of cars came home as a unit and drove through our subdivision with horns blowing proudly. The McHenry and sheriff's police met them at the highway and the parade to the V.F.W. home in McHenry was begun. Behind the police was an honor guard carrying the colors. The honor guard was Girl Scouts from all the trbops of Valley View. The girls' leader, Mrs. Weyland, can well be proud of them. Behind the honor guard came the truck carrying the guests of honor, the hikers, they were followed by all the parents in cars. At the grounds they saw many familiar faces. The Lilymoor drill team carried oui nation's colors and also our troop's colors and posted them. It was a wonderful sight seeing those tired hikers snap to attention and salute their country's colors. The McHenry Viscounts gave a colorful entrance and salute to the boys and men. Ted Getner, V.F.W. commander, presented the troop with a new American flag. E;<ch hiker was presented with a can of foot powder. Earl Walsh, who represented McHenry's mayor, gave a fine talk to the boys as did each of the following men: John Flannigan, who represented L.P.P.O.A., our troops sponsoring institution; Lou Swedo representing the Blackhawk Area Boy Scout Council; Tim McCormick, Adjutant of the American Legion and Bill Nye representing the Chamber of Commerce and a group of McHenry's business men who told the boys that each boy hiker will be given of pair of shoes plus three other business men who are giving cash to pay for the boys' badges they earned on the hike. The troop's scoutmaster was then introduced and given a very brief summary of the hike and a great big thanks for this terrific homecoming. He also stated that this hike was not done for publicity but that they were most grateful for the way they were treated on their entire trip and especially the homecoming. Everyone at the affair was treated to hot dogs and pop by the V.F.W. Serving the honored guests first were Jean Wiles of McHenry and the following members of the V.F.W. and residents of our subdivision: Jerry Wagner, Irene Koehl, Joe Murphy and Glen Belohlavy. Frank Ficek served watermelon to all those who were still at the grounds. To the following members of Troop 459 our hats are off for a job very well done: Ken Prazak, Danny Kamp, Doug Funk, Joe DeMarco, Jr., Jimmy Grothman, Dennis Druml, Kevin Druml, Steve George, Kennv Becker, Mike Linnane, Mick Daurio, Walt Mrotz, III, Frank Ficek Jr., Mike Ossler, Kirk Links and Frosty Viita. Also to these men: Scoutmaster Ed Druml, Assistant Scoutmaster Joe Prazak, Marv George and Committee Chairman Walt Mrotz, Jr., and a big pat 011 back to Hugh Saynor, a wonderful teen-ager who drove the supply truck all the way. We'll all be there, hope we tee all of you. Little League Opens The baseball season opened on Thursday of this week wilh a game on that night and games on Wednesday and tonight, Thursday.

Now you can see for yourself where we make most of our changes. Way down deep. Every part you can see (and every part you can't see) has been changed again and again and again. But we never change the Volkswagen without a reason. And the only reason is to make it even better. When we do make a change, we try to make the new part fit older models, too. So you'll find that many VW parts are interchangeable from one year to the next. Which is why it's actually easier to get parts for a VWv than for many domestic cars. And why VW service is as good as it is. Jhe same principle holds good for the beetle shape. We made the rear window bigger one year so you could see other people better. We made the tail lights bigger last year so other people could see you better. But nothing drastic. Any Volkswagen hood still fits any VW ever made. So does any fender. And, in case you hadn't noticed, every VW still looks like every other VW. Which may turn out to be the nicest thing of all about the car. It doesn't go in one year and out the other.
