MTVMiil Wonder Lain FUND DRIVE FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS STARTS SEPT. 1 Mary Loa H&rteg - Many local volunteers will be knocking on doors here between Sept. 1 and 15 for the Cystic Fibrosis fund drive. CF still is not as well known at many children's ailments, yet every two hours, round the dock, an American child is born with this disease and half die before they are five. Your donations will be used for CF research and for patient care. Neva and Larry Fuhrer, Wonder Center, are McHenry County children again this year. ftnwMifr League Starts Sept. 9 The Wonder Lake Business Men's bowling league will get into gear at 9 p.m. Friday Sept. 6 in McHenry. Three new sponsors will be with the group this year replacing three who dropped out. Blast off time is at 9 p.m. so be there ready to start the new season with your group. I know one of the men who has a new bowling ball that he is positive is going to be the one that walks off with the championship this year. Could be. Happy Birthday To Ray Rochowicz and to Bob Armstrong who both celebrate birthdays on Sept. 2. Deadline Next Week Don't forget now - the deadline for news for next week's issue is tonight (Thursday) at the latest. I have to get my copy in Friday morning because of the holiday next week. So gather up all your juicy little tidbits and give me a call so I can have something to talk about next week. New Signi Have you noticed the new "Welcome" signs which have been posted at the entrances to the lake. They have been posted on E. Wonder Lake Drive, Hancock Drive, Barnard Mill Road, Howe Road, Windemere Road, Thompson Road. They have been installed through the courtesy of the W. L. Brochure which was recently published. They were painted by Frank Wendt and installed by Dick Miller, Jim Robison, Joe Sullivan and Horace Wagner and I understand it was no easy task to get up. They're very attractive and if you haven't noticed them - take a look next time you go by. Coming Home Party Anita Horton reversed the usual procedure in partygiving last Sunday afternoon and evening. Instead of a going away party before her vacation to California she decided to have a coming-home party after she returned. Those who were able to attend were the Ruby Fishers, and E. W. Perrys, Leo Hartogs, Harold Hoffmans, Reinhold Hohmanns, Kate Vacula, C. Jeffery and Leigh Perry and Sharon Hoffman and Rudy Fisher, Jr., in the teen-age department. The tables were heavily laden with food and sparkling water and the group had a wonderful time all day dancing on the lawn and singing to the lilting music of an accordion. by RUM Emersoa So you are a sun lover? For what it is worth, we might point out that skin cancer is said to result from the accumulative effect of sunlight over a long period of time. Fairskinned people, of course, are most susceptible, but even those genetically most susceptible seldom fall victim for the reason that excessive exposure to the sun is simply too painful. The first sign of skin cancer Is what the medical field refers to as a keratosis, a persistent scaly area on the body which is regularly exposed to sunlight. From this early sign the condition may progress to either of t\vo types of skin cancer -- basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell cancer, the more dangerous type. Sun addict or not, you won't have any cause for complaint at MILLSTREAM DRUGS, INC.'s prescription counter.

THIS WEEK'S HOUSEHOLD HINT: If you have trouble painting hard-to-reach places, try tacking a small sponge to the end of a yardstock. That Harold Hoffman swings a mean ankle once he gets going. Community Center News The first dance sponsored b^ the Barnard Mill Community Center last Friday night was a huge success. Approximately 150 teenagers danced at the Wonder Lake fire house. The judges of the twist and limbo contests had a difficult time choosing the winners among so many fine dancers. Their decisitons were finally reached: Twist contest winners: first prize: Kathy Regner and Sam Lamont; second prize: Lester Serg^tt and Donna Dean; third prize: Richard Demakoski and Barb Sergott. Limbo contest winners: first prize: Sam Lamont; second prize, Richard Hubner; third prize: Kathy Regner; fourth pri2e: Denny Zrout; fifth prize: Lester Sergott. The Barnard Mill Community Center members extend their gratitude to the Wonder Lake Fire Department and Horace Wagner for Jfce use of the fire house. The Center's own recently purchased building, the old Ringwood school, is being painted and could not be used for the dance. The picturesque old landmark is being readied for its official opening and dedication day on Sunday Oct. 13. Excellent helpers and dance chaperones were Miss Esther Beverwyk, Mr. and Mrs. William Bacon, Rev. and Mrs. Bruce Brenemann, Mr. and Mrs. William Elbersen, Mr. and Mrs. Gerritt Beverwyk, Mrs. Arthur Meyers, Mrs. James Lee, Mrs. Robert Killam, and Mr. and Mrs. John Scharf. Charter memberships in the Community Center are still available at $10 per family for a lifetime membership. For further information, contact our Membership Chairman, Mrs. Thomas Peek, 653-7652. All Stars Victorious The Wonder Lake All Stars from the Little League played a team from the Lakeland Park Little League Sunday, Aug. 25, at Lakeland Park. The Wonder Lake team was victorious, 14-7. There will be a return game played at Harrison school field at Wonder Lake next Sunday, Sept. 1, at 2 p.m. Legion News If you haven't why don't you??? If you have, I'll bet your glad you did. I'm speaking of your 1964 dues. Have you gotten yours in yet??? The membership drive is on in full swing. Our motto of "we did succeed in '63. Let's do more in '64." is getting bigger and bigger. You too can sign its praises by getting your dues in now. Why not have your card marked with an early bird sticker. Be proud of being a Legionaire and get behind the 1964 mem- Holiday Hills USE CAUTION DRIVING OVER HOLIDAY WEEKEND Int* jfouag Well, here it is the end of the summer and I'm just getting into the swing of things. This is the last holiday weekend of the summer. This always means increased traffic on our highways and in the subdivision. If you'll be traveling, be especially careful, we want to see you back next week. With the end of summer, we'll be school busses on our roadS^once again. School busses mean children close at hand. In the excitement of meeting friends and catching a bus, they forget to look and run into the street. It's up to you to watch out for them. Kids, maybe someone in one of those cars is late for an appointment, and they'll forget to look for you, so you be real careful. When you get back to school, remember, it's much more fun at school when you do the best you can and obey the rules. Take advantage of the Wonderful opportunity to learn, and have fun too. - How About A Ph'ilic? Just because the children are back in school doesn't mean the end of the picnifc season. The best one of the season is yet to come. On Sunday, Sept. 8, there'll be an old fashioned picnic down at the river beach on River side bership drive. When you get your dues in why not bring a new member along in with it? You and he will both be glad you did and proud you belong to the "growinist" post in the County. Our deepest sympathy is Extended to Richard Gustek family. Mr. Gustek lost his wife in an unfortunate automobile accident. Services were held at the Christ the King church with burial in the church cemetery. Military services were under the direction of the Wonder Lake American Legion Post No. 1169 on Saturday, Aug. 24. Hope that you all have noticed how nice the Memorial Triangle is looking lately. The follows have been working real hard down there. They wish to have it looking as nice as is possible so that all that pass will stop and take notice. Drive. Bring the family for a day of fun for all. You can eat your lunch down there, refreshments will be available -- you can dance if you wish, there'll be games and races for the whole family, and pony rides for the kiddies. Everything you'd expect from a good oldfashioned picnic. Patty's Progress In last week's column, I told you all that Patty Baird was back home after an extended stay in the hospital. If you remember I stated that she had a set-back which we hoped would not be serious. It proved to quite serious, and Patty is back in the hospital with pneumonia. I'm pleased however, to report that her condition is very much improved, and she's coming along nicely. I don't know how long she'll have to stay, but I'm sure she's feeling pretty depressed about having to go back. A shower of cards to help fill another scrapbook will make her feel a little better, I'm sure. Show Dog The Bodenheims have another show dog. In the past from time to time I have reported on Shawn, who has done very well as a show dog, and now they have Lochman's Caryl and's who was entered in the Marian, Ohio, Kennel Club show on July 28. She took first place in the best female collie class, first place as best collie of both male and female, and then went on to take first place in the working class over all other breeds. In the entire show, she was chosen second in a field of over 600 dogs. For the one show she was awarded three points, she already has two points from a previous show and needs just more to make her a champion. It sounds like she is well on her way. The Bodenheims have her entered in another show in Louisville, Ky., coming up soon. Emergency Little Bonnie Wemken was rushed to McHenry hospital on Friday, Aug. 16, with a cut on her head resulting from a fall. Bonnie required three stitches to close the wound. Both she and her Mom are doing fine, and Bonnie, no more going around in circles!

According to the Institute for Safer Living, an important reason for the rising highway death rate may be public indifference toward traffic accidents. The feeling that accidents always happen to the other fellow apparently is a part of the acceptance of a high automobile fatality rate. *lJou \now Sofommeeoonnee l^iew +3n 5ou/n?
