July 25. 1963 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Page Efor*fi McCullom THREE LITTLE LEAGUE TEAMS TIE FOR FIRST PLACE Kve Leveaqat With the Little League season at little more than the half way mark, there exists a 3 way tie for first place and the tension is increasing with each game. Each manager is spurring his team to action and the young lads are playing mighty fine ball. Merwyn Schmitt is president of the league and the team managers include Stewart Lorch of the Yankees, Bill Scheid of the Pirates, and Gene Johnson manages the Sox. Games are played each Monday and Thursday evenings in the beautiful ball park at the beach, commencing at 6:30 p.m. The home run fence has been a fine addition and reduces the confusion. The young lads are contemplating operating some type ot booth at the summer festival on Aug. 3 but plans are still incomplete. These young fellas need the support of parents and any other interested spectators. Plenty of benches for viewing the game safely outside the heavy duty protector. Plmi to attend tonight's game between the Yankees and the Sox. County Doubles Bowling Champs Latest village headline makers include Bill Brennan and Bill Scheid who were declared winners in the recent McHenry County Doubles bowling tournament. For their efforts, they were rewarded with trophies and money prizes. by the Chamber of Commerce, sponsors of the annual event. McCullom Lake was well represented in this entry with both young women being members of our village and still another young miss as part of the entourage. Sandi Brennan, one of the Fiesta queen finalists, rode in one of the accompanying convertibles. Chrys received help from her sister, D. D. Heaps of praise to Kenny Petersen for the use of his hay rack and to H. H. Mass who gave up a large portion of one of his bams for the construction of the float. All contributed immeasurably to Its success. The cats in the barn* didn't help one single bit by reclining on the float and necessitating last minute repairs by sharpening their claws on the fringe! - Installed As Legion Officers Two women who can always be counted upon to carry their share (and more) of any kind of work load are also very active in the American Legion auxiliary. They are Bobbie Carroll who was installed recently as second vice president in the organization and Marie Howe who holds the office of recording secretary. Both offices carry a great deal of responsibility and also very time consuming, but these are just the gals who can do the job!

Timely Treks "The Thacker males -- father, Chuck, and sons, Bruce and Roger, recently returned from a 12 day vacation jaunt to Ellinwood, Ga., with glowing tales of the trip. After greeting their grandmother, Mrs. Elsie Thacker, and great-grandmother, Mrs. Ida Jacobsen, who will be 94, in October the fellows made several trips in the area. They journeyed to North and South Carolina for a trip through the Blue Ridge Mountains and up to the top of Stone Mountain. This is called the eighth wonder of the world. They went to the top in a new lift designed by the Swiss and is in use in this country. The trio also viewed the "Battle of Atlanta" a famous painting which is displayed in Grant Park, Atlanta. On the return journey they were accompanied by Chuck's niece, Linda, who will be spending several weeks in the village. While her men were thus engaged, Barbara and daughter, Cheryl, visited with Barbara's mother and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Besch, in Worth, and went on to Hoopeston, to see friends.

The gals each brought offerings of food and the fellas "footed the tab" for the liquid refreshments. Poppa received a fine array of handsome and useful gifts. He said that he would never forget that day! The frosting on the cake was supplied with a telephone call from Dorie and Ted Olsen who are stationed in California.
