Ameoiattaa Monday evening's Pistakee Terrace association was called to order by the vice-president. After the reading of minutes and treasurer's report, there was some -discussion of old business and unanimous vote of thanks cast for the work done by the retiring officers. At this point the meeting was turned over to the new president, Cal Vyduna, along with vice-president Jim BUsh, H-specretary, Pat Merhaut, treasurer, Roy Erickson, and directors, Joyce Toepper, Eleanor Moore and Tony Kurowski.

Fire of undetermined origin broke out about 3:50 p.m. and units from McHenry and Johnsburg arrived to fight the blaze as well as small grass fires which started from flying sparks. While in earlier years the barn added considerably to the picturesque rural scene, vandalism of late' had left the barn in such a state as to cause concern among local residents. Many heaved sighs of relief, realizing that the barn had passed on without loss of human life or damage to surrounding homes.

Holiday BOBi SM DEATH OF SLUSHER BOY MOURNED BY AREA RESIDENTS $ Inez Young Words cannot express the heartfelt sympathy for Charles and Ruby Slusher on the loss of their infant son, Kurt, who passed away Saturday, Aug. 3. He was stricken with leukemia early this year and has been in and out of the hospital ever since. Kurt was the youngest of six children, th? others are Rosella, 19, Carolyn, 16, "Beverly, 13, Calvin, 12, and Katherine, 10. The funeral service was held at the First Baptist church with Rev. Virgil Chappell officiating, Monday, August 5, and buried at nearby Woodland. cemetery. Four young boys, three from Holiday Hills and one former resident served as pall bearers. They were Tom and Mike Janik, John Laskowski and Joe Luna. • Following the service, friends and relatives returned to the Slusher home where the many gifts -of food were served. The one bright spot in this tragic story for the Slusher family was the way in which their friends and neighbors, some of whom they didn't even know, came through. There were those who donated blood, those who brought food and helped to serve, those who sent flowers for Kurt beside those who were just around to be helpful. Since this was the only way to help at a time like this, I'm sure that knowing it gladdened the hearts of the family will gratify the hearts of those who gave. Carnival!! The Island Lake carnival is now on, it started last night and will continue through Sunday. Workers have been lined up by Phyl Harper and Harry Schroeder. Two booths will be managed by Holiday Hills throughout the car lival. Come on out and have some fun! Support the carnival that the H.H.P.O_A. has invested in.
