Thursday, September 12,1963 McCullom Like COUPLE HOLDS OPEN HOUSE FOR «5TH ANNIVERSAHT Kve L^vosqw A mutual fondness for roller skating led to the courtship and culminated in marriage for Jean Miller and Hugh McDonald who will celebrate their forty-fifth wedding annivers§py Sunday, Sept. 15. They will mark this very special milestone with an "open house" for relatives, friends, and business acquaintances, beginning at 3 p.m. Assisting with the preparations are Mrs. McDonald's three sisters, Mrs. May Kennenberg and Theresa Cunningham, local; and Mrs. Margaret Hatch of Highland Park. Towards the end 6f 1917, Jean and Hugh met at the Madison Gardens roller rink in Chicago. Hugh was an excellent skater, according to Jean, and the two foun<jl more than this mutual interest in common. They plighted their troth at St. Matthew's Catholic churcfli in Chicago on Sept. 15. 1918. Their attendants were Tom Kis^ane (deceased) and Hugh's cousin, Alice McDonald O'- Rourke. The two made their home in the city and in 1920, their union was blessed with the birth of their only child, Mary Ellen. She passed away at the age of 16. The McDonalds became acquainted with McCullom Lake by visiting with Mr. and Mrs. John Kane who owned the home now inhabited by the Ken Betts family. During the course of their summer visits, the two developed an interest in the tavern owned by Mr. Barth. They subsequently acquired the property in May, 1939 and became one of the earliest of the business people. That was the start of long, lean years with lots of work and little remuneration. During those first yeans before the start of World War II, there were only a handful of permanent residents. In addition to the tavern, Jean and Hugh also operated a small grocery store, located where the dining room is now. In 1964, they will celebrate 25 years in business. In 1949, the McDonalds took on the care of a relative, Ed Caron, and have raised him as a son. The young lad began his schooling here in the 2nd grade and went on to complete his studies in McHenry until he joined the Air Force. During his military career, Ed trained as a dental technician until his discharge from the service. He makes his home with them and will observe his twenty-fourth birthday on Monday, Sept. 16. Their generosity and beneficence has been bestowed on many. On this very happy occasion, we would like to add our voice to the many who are wishing Jean and Hugh "many happy returns of the day" and continued success in business. Summer Couple Announce Nuptials Miss Sarah Wexler of Chicago and Frank Graydon of that city and the village were married last Thursday, Sept. 5, at the Sinai Temple, Chicago, before Rabbi Louis L. Mann. The ceremony took place at 6 p.m. and the couple was attended by Dr. Alexander Fried and David Wexler. For the early evening ceremony, Miss Wexler chose a THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER •Peg* Fiftaan two piece costume of braize silk with a chiffon coat and matching accessories. Her groom, Mr. Graydon, used his mother's gold wedding band, while the bride's ring was also a beautiful wide band of brushed gold. Following the nuptial service, a reception for about twentyfive relatives and close friends was held at the Hotel Windermere. Mr. and Mrs. Graydon spent their honeymoon doing work on their summer home on W. Greenwood Place and contemplate a trip to Europe in the near future. The captivating charm and attractiveness of Sarah will endear her to the many friends who have long cherished Frank's friendship. We wish them the very best that life has to offer. Additional Facilities For Beachhouse Sorely needed are the two new washrooms which "jvill be added to the beachhouse'in the very near future (or may already be under way). Proper facilities for men and women will be added and a new water pump and plumbing will be available the year 'round. The pump will be properly housed and the piping installed below the frost line. The building committee composed of Dick Johnson, chairman, Lee Sawdo, Don Parenti, and president of the organization, Rog Kinsey, spent a great deal of time drawing up the plans and specifications. A report was given on the success of the sports season with basketball, volley ball, and soft ball taking prominence. From forty-five - fifty adults turned out each Wednesday for volleyball. Equipment for some of these sports was purchased by the Cullom-Knoll. The by-laws will be modernized and this committee consists of Myra Murray, Dick Johnson and Art Stuhlfeier. Young and old alike will rejoice about the news of the proposed ice skating rink which will be completed in time for that popular season. Theresa Schultz will be chairman with assistance from Barbara Thacker and Jim Carroll. The resignation of newly elected secretary George Scarbrough resulted in Barbara Thacker taking on those duties. The Sept. 1 meeting was the last general one and from now on, the progress of the organization will be vested in the executive board until next May. Welcome Home To Newly weds A thoroughly enjoyable trip was the honeymoon jaunt for Nancy and Ken Loesch as they motored to Lake in the Ozarks. They returned home last week to begin housekeeping at 3007 N. Spring Road. Their wedding reception included a host of friends and relatives. High on the welcome list was the presence of Ken's uncle and bride--Laverne and Bob Kantorski. These two were glowing with tales of their newly purchased home. For those interested--the address is 4940 N. Olive, Zone 18, Kansas Sity, Mo. During the customary throwing of the bridal bouquet, Miss Jolyn Falsey (an attendant) was the ecstatic recipient. Forrest Lombardo of Lake Villa executed a few fancy baseball maneuvers and caught the lovely blue silk garter! His mother works with Ken in Ringwood.

Kiddy Party A Huge Succeas Utterly delighted were the forty-five youngsters who were feted by the Cullom-Knoll on Saturday, Aug. 31. The entire affair was very well planned and managed. Little boy and girl tummies were filled to capacity with hot dogs, pop, and candy. Some of the entertainment included games such as the 3 legged race, a scavenger hunt, and playing catch with "water babies." The last game consists of tossing balloons filled with water! Difficulties arose when the "dumb things" wouldn't break! Many of these potent weapons came home with kiddies and you know where the water went!! Winners of the s c a v e n g e r hunt were Michael Lorch, Tom Ringelstetter and Michael Schlitt. A great deal of credit must go to the adults who engineered the party including Jack and Verna Schlofner, Myra Murray, Ray Lary, Roger Kinsey, Lil Ringelstetter, and Dick Johnson. Proposed Dam To Aid Lake Under consideration is the possibility of building a dam which would insure a greater tlow of water into the lake. A drive for funds will be conducted in thgjfiiear future. All residents of communities surrounding the lake are asked to participate. Locally, the donations will be requested by Gene Piotrowski. The money on deposit in the McCullom Lake restoration fund will also be utilized. Those who wish to contribute without personal contact, may do so, by sending a check to the McHenry State bank, marking it "restoration fund." According to Mr. Piotrowski, co-operation was gained on outlawing motors in excess of 5M HP. Larger motors injure fishing and swimming for everyone.

ROTARY NEWS Our meeting last week proved most interesting as we had our first program for the 1963-64 year, plus a splendid report by Dr. H. S. Fike on his recent trip to Europe. The Fikes, Doc and his Rotary Ann, Cynthia, have just returned from a most enjoyable foreign trip leaving from New York and visiting the following cities and countries; London, England, Paris, Strassburg, France, Geneva, Lucerne, Zurich, Switzerland, Baden-Baden, Hanover, Berliri, Germany, Amsterdam, Holland, and back to New York. We are looking forward to the second half of Doc's report at our next meeting as time did not permit description of the entire trip and the many Rotary clubs visited by him. The first program under chairman Larry Lund's guidance was headed by Ted Wickman, who made a very capable "leadoff" man. Through Ted's efforts, Walter Austin, office manager of McHenry County Agricultural Stabilization ami Conservation committee talked on "The Agricultural Program as Related to the Economy of the Nation." The speaker proved to be a young man thoroughly informed on the subject discussed, which held the interest of his audience evidenced by the questions asked during the question and answer period. Larry, Dick and Walter deserve a pat on the back for a job well done. "Hustling Hammering Herb," our president, is heading a delegation consisting of Joe Gausden, classification chairman; Tom Bolger, bulletin editor; Doc Fike, Rotary Information chairman; and Ray McGee, public relations chairman; that will attend the district institute to be held at the LaGrange Y.M.C.A. Friday, Sept. 13. The district institute is a workshop for all presidents and certain key committee chairmen, which enables the incumbent governor to explain and interpret the program he has outlined for the year. This year Gov. Dick Longtin will have the help of Past District Gov. Len Vaughn, of Ripon, Wis., as the personal representative of International President Carl Miller. Many of our members have marked their calendars for luncheon Tuesday, Sept. 17, when the Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a joint meeting for the Chamber, Kiwanis and Rotary clubs. Arnold Lund, general manager of the Dixon Evening Telegraph, will talk on "Industrial Development." He has been in close touch with this situation in the city of Dixon so his remarks should be most interesting and informative to group.
