After the game they all enjoyed watermelon, popcorn and taffy-apples. There was plenty erf coffee for the adults and pop for the youngsters. Giving the picnic were Nedra and Les Eckhart, Jerry and Lloyd Wagner, John and Gloria Flannigan, Bev and Jim Wiekenkamp and Ed and Kay Druml.

We'd like to add our wishes to all those he received. Precious One Last Thursday, Aug. 15, saw little Miss Personality turn tho first chapter of 365 pages filled with happiness. I pray that there will be a hundred more chapters filled with many, many happy, healthy pages.

Nickola|> Norman,. and the Druml family. In true form of a one year oldT both hands of little No Doze found their target, her birthday eake. Sister Mary did a fine job helping out by opening gifts .and blowing out that precious one candle. Hope Your Better Our very warmest get-well wishes go to Paul Schwegel, who because of an infected leg and temperature was unable to m a n a g e h i s a l l - s t a r t e a m against JtfcCullom Lake last Saturday. We sincerely hope he's up and about now. Mumps had little Debbie Leone confined for to< g. Our wishes also are extended to Bev Wickenflood Neighbor If we had a medal to give to a good neighbor this week's wearer would certainly be Mrs. Clare Hearle, better known as Eleanor to every one. A two month old puppy gave his owners a slip and they searched all over but to no avail. Eleanor, in the meantime, had rescued him from the creek and taken him home and given him a bath, then she began to try to find the poor pup's owners. They all finally managed to get together and once again the story had a happy ending. Our hats are off to you Eleanor and we know you've made a life long friend in your rescued pup and also in the pup's grateful owners. rules which applied for the mothers' game do not stand a chance of ever becoming official rules in any league. All Stars Lakeland Park's little league all-stars won their first game against McCullom Lake last Saturday in what was a very exciting, well played game. The final score was McCullom Lake, 3 runs on 2 hits while our team had 4 runs on 5 hits. Paul Schwegel, because of illness, was unable to see his team act as his coach, for the game. We know Paul was well pleased with Irv's report and also very proud of his team. Members of the all-stars team are as follows: Ken Becker, Billy Barwig, Doug Be la hoi vy, Dave Bockman, Dennis Druml, Kevin Druml, Jimmy Franklin, Doug Funk, Steve George, Mike Hamer, Jimmy Hansen, Ricky Karls, Tommy Lagios, Kevin Lavin, Jack Laursen, Jimmy Laursen, Bobby Matt hews, Ronnie Miller, Paul Schwegel and Frankie Vanek. Dennis Johnson aijd Kevin Schultz serve as alternates. These boys represent your subdivision so how about planning on attending this Saturday's game at McCullom Lake? Game time is scheduled for 2:30. Little League News As wo write this column our league stilUMbs not reached the finish poinr^Three teams have completed their 15-game schedule but second and third position have not been determined. Last Monday saw the Tigers defeat the Cubs by 8 to 2 and on Tuesday the Cubs defeated the Pirates by a 3 to 2 score. Sunday saw the beginning of many aching muscles for many fathers and mothers of little leaguers. The day began with the all-stars playing the men. Joan Schwegel and Kay Druml managed the boys' team who showed up Joe Prazak's men when the final inning was over. Poor Ted Kaminski and his boys team didn't have a chance against Ed Druml's mothers' team. Kenny Prazak did a terrific job of umpiring both games. We only hope the little leaguers realize that the Strolling Through The Park Marge and Wally Schaedel gave a party for some of their neighbors last week. Attending were Donna and Bud Stoltz, Gloria and John Flannigan, Margo's sister, Judy Lowe, and her boy friend, Bob. Understand they had a riot dancing, singing and eating roasted corn and watermelon. The Druml family had a Vtery pleasant surprise last week by a visit from Kay's folks, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Oswald. They call Pochantas, 111., home. There was just one flaw in their visit, it was too brief. Jerry Wagner, her three children, Sharon, Tommy and David, had a very honored guest for lunch on last Tuesday. Their pastor, Rev. Northway, spent a very pleasant visit with the Wagners. Liz Borchert just recently returned from a wonderful vacation to her favorite spot, the Indiana Sand Dunes. Gloria and John Flannigan had to leave after two innings of the mother-son game on Sunday. They attended a theatre play and also enjoyed a delicious dinner. This was a Moose affair. Patty Percy, a lifelong friend of Sharon Wagner, spent the past four days visiting Sharon. It had been over a year since the two girls had seen one another so they had a great deal of catching up to do. Delores, Glenn, Doug and Scott Belaholvy just returned from a two week relaxing Nebraska vacation. Heard they had a very wonderful trip. Sue Lowe and Sharon Wagner were oo-hostesses to a group of teen-agers last Thursday. Watermelon was served to thirty-five boys and girls after some terrific water fights. Needless to say who won. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Siegmund entertained their son and family, Chuck and Claire Siegmund, and Scott, Dirk and Keith from Morris Plains* New Jersey, last week. On Monday a family reunion was held, with the Siegmunds' daughters and their families coming out from neighboring communities. They are Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Forrester, Sissy, Patty, Bud and Beth, and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Alton and their sons, Lewis and Jeff. Another day was spent at a cottage in Pistakee Bay, and of course they visited each one of his sisters. On Thursday, Petey Oakford entertained Clair and Mrs. Siegmund with tea. Bee and Ben Mical and their son, Alan, from Chicago visited Ken and Gloria Vanek last week. Carole Humann's sister, Susan Schwaba, spent an uneventful week visiting with her three children, Judy, Peter and Nancy. Birthday Party Stevie and Robbie Miller had a combined birthday party on Wednesday. Little Stevie was 2 years old on the 21st and brother Bobbie turned 4 on the 23rd. They had many of their little friends over for a typical little boys party. Another party held last week was to celebrate Rosie Gray's fifth birthday. Her birthday was Thursday, the fifteenth, but she celebrated it on Friday with the help of fifteen other children.

Herzog Beach We feel everyone that uses Herzog beach owes a big pat on the back to the men and boys who are doing such a wonderful job. The beach has never looked better. We only hope everyone who uses the beaches will try to help this group by depositing rubbish where it belongs and also be a little careful when using the picnic tables. The men spent many hours last week fixing bent and broken legs of these tables. Our hats are off to you men on the committee and also to the boys helping you.

Twice Told Tales Fifty Years Ago Taken From The Files Of Aug. 14, 1913 What cheer, friend, what cheer? Centuries ago these same words were spoken from the lips of an Indian. After all these years have passed the same may be applied at this time. Last evening a mass meeting was held at the village hall and as a consequence an old settlers' meeting and homecoming will be held, in McHenry on Monday, Se&t 1. "Stubby" Smith, the^ popular manager of Smith's hall, is to be complimented on his stand taken against the latest freak dances. The writer is informed that a sign reading "No tango, turkey trot or bear cat dances allowed in this hall" has been placed there. It is a disgrace in our modern day when people want to be> so far advanced In knowledge that such low and immoral dances are indulged in. Why can't we have some good waltzes, two steps or other clean dances? •* % From quarter of a century comes the news that the village board has purchased the cheese factory building in the center of town and will fix the upper part over into a hall and the basement into a calaboose and a place to store village property. The price paid was $1200. This is a wise move and one of the best expenditures the board has made. Bargains at M. J. Walsh's next week include a fine line of lawns, batistes, etc., in all the new shades: 10, 9 and 7 cents per yard; ginghams 10 cents and voiles 6 cents; shoes up to $3.00 now 98 cents; Ladies oxfords in black, tan and white, lace and button, $1.75 and $2.25; men's hats in popular shades and shapes $2.45, $2.00 and $1.25. Forty Years Ago Taken From The Files Of Aug. 16, 1923 Two of the most severe as well as damaging storms of the season visited this section last Saturday night and as a result many trees were blown down and electric light and telephone service put out ot commission. The first storm broke around 8 o'clock and the second about one on Sunday morning. Thus far seventythree losses have been reported to the local insurance agent, Simon Stofeel, and calls are still coming in. Announcement has been made of the marriage of Miss Helen Pint, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Pint, of this city, and Mr. Patrick Moriarity of Chicago, which took place at St. Phalesites church, Chicago, last Saturday morning. The men of the First Methodist church will give an ice cream social on the lawn of the church Saturday, Aug. 18. The proceeds are to go towards^ outfitting an athletic club room in the barn back of the church. At present boxing, wrestling, bag punching are in the plans for the club activities. Herman Marckhoff and son, mason contractors at the new community high/school building, hope to be able to work throughout the entire winter. While it is still doubtful if the entire building can be completed before the beginning of the fall term of 1924 it is now almost certain that at least a portion of the building including the gymnasium will be ready some time next fall. Theodore Schiessle, one of McHenry's most substantial citizens, passed away Saturday afternoon following a six months illness. A Ford sedan was mired on Green street following Saturday night's storm and it was necessary to call a wrecker to remove it, later another big car went into a hole on Elm street and a telephone company service truck rendered assistance. Twenty-Five Years Ago Taken From The Files Of Aug. 18, 1938 Mias Agnes Mischke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Mischke, of Necedah, Wis., was united in marriage to Mr. John Henning, Jr., at St. Rita's church, Chicago, on Aug. 13, with a reception following at the home of relatives. McHenry folks attending were Miss Rosa Popp, Frances Patzke and sons, Lyle Franzen and William Kinsala. Robert Thompson's gladoli and dahlias received a first and second prize and two honorable mentions at the tenth annual flower show of the Algonquin garden club last week. Mr. and Mrs. Emil Thomas and family of Elmira, N. Y., who spent the past week with relatives here, were honored guests at a family reunion and wiener roast held at the Elbert Thomas home Thursday evening with sixty relatives present. Through the generosity ot the Chicago Cubs and several local parents and business men about seventy children of the summer playground program had the pleasure of going in to Wrigley Field and seeing their favorite ball players play the St. Louis Cardinals.
