Good luck to the troop from both of us, also hope you appoint a scribe and keep us posted on your activities. Red Crom Drive We have no way of knowing what the actual collection for the drive was but we do know C how very hard the Boy Scouts tried to make it a success. Scoutmaster Kd Druml and the following boys did a very fine job of covering the subdivision for Vicki Bottari, who was chairman of the drive. One of the Boy Scouts who lives in Lily moor deserves a very special pat on the back, he walked all the way here at 9 a.m. just to do his share, nice going Mike Ossler. Also from the Scout Troop were; Kirk Links. Tommy Wagner, John Reining, Mark Bartos, John Arient, Bob and P«.us.> R o d e , J i m m y F r a n k l i n Jimmy Grot hman. We hope that maybe we gave enough to warrant a Red Cross instructor for swimming lessons this summer. ^ Happy Birtlid:iy To You Today-Thursday, Oct. 24 has Nancy Matthews reaching age 8, Jay Os*man, and Petey Oakford, share this day also. My number three son, Dennis, becomes a teenager also today. Saturday, Oct. 26, Susan Gerstad gets to blow out her candles. Irv Becker, who admits to being able to vote celebrates on Oct. 30. Finishing the month of October and sharing Halloween are Wilma Atkinson and my fellow bowling teammate, Donna Rode. To each of you and to all we never hear . about goes our very best wishes -- not only for the day you celebrate but for many more, "Happy Birthdays." * Wedded Blis« That real nice couple, Jerry ' Und Lloyd Wagner, celebrate _ their anniversary on Thursday, Oct. 24.

Oct. 12 Cathy Efroesser turned 15 and on the twenty-second Ken Grothman added another year. ts New* Cub Scouts *" Last Saturday abotit twentyfive of our Cubbers under the supervision of Cubmaster Bob Matthews, Den-mothers Shirley Koch and Joan Florek, Denchiefs Dennis Druml, Danny Kamp and Kevin Druml left here at 8 a.m for a visit to O'Hare Airport. The boys ate lunch on the observation tower and watched incoming and outgoing planes from there. They were met by our Ass't. Scoutmaster, Irv Becker, as he completed his night's work and he took the boys into freight cargo and explained how freight is loaded and weighed. Each of the boys received miniature wings and all sorts of literature about planes. Mr. Clar Haerle should be commended for giving Mr. Matthews some male help. It's a real shame that so many Cubbers and parents who had planned on going couldn't make it. It sure proves discouraging to leaders to make plans and end up with very little help. The Cub Scout Halloween party which was held last Monday evening will be written up in next week's paper. There are still two dens who are unable to have den meetings because of lack of Den mothers. Your help in this matter would be so greatly appreciated by the very anxious Cubbers. How about it mom, can you give a couple hours a week to some deserving little boys? Contact Mr. Matthews if you can. Boy Scout News At the meeting of Oct. 15 much of our meeting was spent in discussing our Fall Campout. This coming weekend is Oct. 26 and 27 and arc the important days. Because very few parents seem to take interest in our activities we do not have enough people to drive us out to our camp-site the night of Oct., 25. This means that we will leave the morniing of the twenty-sixth. Leaving a day later forces Mr. Druml, our Scoutmaster, to cancel our award trail hike. We just won't have the time for it. Don't forget fellows; your camp-out fee must be paid and you must have your insurance fee in too, as well as a note of consent from your parents or you will not be allowed to go^ We, the boys of Troop 459, result of--the Red Cross drive that we will be able to receive instruction in many of the classes in first aid, life saving and etc., that the Red Cross gives. We have several new faces in the Troop, I will give their names in a later column, • but we still have room for ,a few more. Join us now. Respectfully submitted by Kirk Links, Scribe, w Troop 459 Scoutmaster Druml has told us since Kirk submitted his column that he has received a few offers to drive on Friday after school and if a few more are received the Troop will be able to leave then. If anyone can drive on Friday, please, contact Mr. Jim Daurio at 385-3160. Strolling Through The Park Our community can well be proud. Chosen as homecoming king at McHenry high school last week was our subdivision's, John Hickey. John is a very popular senior at the school and is also vice-president of his class. Seeing as how I played hookey two weeks ago Barb decided it was her turn this week. Five women from the Community Methodist church attended a spiritual life retreat beginning Sunday afternoon and going through Monday afternoon, Barb was one of them. It should be a very enjoyable experience. Ken Grothman and Joe Prazak celebrated their birthdays together with the help of their ever lovin' wives and children. Also helping in the festivities were P'leanor and Clar Haerle and Joe's mother, Grandma Rose Prazak. We had several days of celebrating our twenty-second anniversary last week. We were feted at a wonderful dinner by Mary and Jim Daurio and then Saturday evening Eddie and myself along with Mary and Jim were guests of Dottie and Irv Becker's. They sure helped us celebrate and gave us some memories we'll be long in remembering. Several of the ladies from our subdivision enjoyed a delicious smorgasbord luncheon at the Community Methodist church last week. This was their annual United Nations luncheon where each circle was in charge of serving food from a different country. The nationalities represented were, Oriental, Swedish, German, American and one that Barb couldn't remember no matter how hard she tried. Everyone enjoyed the different kinds of food very much. Last Thursday afternoon Lorraine Arient was hostess for the surprise birthday party on Eva Bott. Luscious cake and coffee were served after cards had been played. Joining in on the afternoon's festivities were Hattie Manning, Leonora Abbott, Wilma Atkinson and Carole Humann. Last Tuesday the Meurer family were surprised by Barb's sister, Joan Ellis, and her five children. She came down just at the right time as she ended up helping Barb plant some spring bulbs. Carole and Don Humann attended a dance for the Plumbers Union last Saturday. Before going to the dance Don took Carole out for an eventful Hungarian dinner. Welcome home to Paul Schwegel. Sure hope your hospital stays are at an end for a long time to come. The Eckhart family spent last Sunday visiting with friends in Delavan, Wis. Nedra's says they had a wonderful day and also enjoyed the wonderful colors of Mother Nature. On Saturday Nedra ventured into the city for the monthly meeting of lier Daughters Club. Petey Oakford and her niece, Pat McCullough, celebrated their birthdays last Sunday with a dinner at Petey's mothers in the city. Pat celebrates on the twenty-second and Petey celebrates on the twenty-fourth. They had a wonderful dinner complete with birthday cake and candles. Jeanette Hertzog was among the women giving denfonstration parties last week. Attending her party were Nedra Eckhart, Sharon Fisher. Joan Mooney, Judy Long, Charlene Wimmer, Mary Antepenko, Carla Hutchinson and Helen Kraskiewiez. As long as we're talking about demonstrations Eleanor Haerle had one last week also. Delicious high caloric desserts were served to the following ladies, Donna Rode, Vivian Stelle, Ann Wohnrade, Jessie Matthews and Ethel Schade. While we're talking about Eleanor she is just bursting with pride and with justified reason, Eleanor picked up twenty-two pins on her average by bowling so very well last Saturday. Your teammates are also very proud of you Eleanor. The Tripoley Club surprised Louise McEnery with a terrific luncheon held in Lake Geneva. The following gals helped with the complete surprise and day, Delia. Julian, Ruth McMahon, Edna Hountras, Grace Mandziara, Ivy Lezak, Ann Hcrzog and Helen Kraskiewiez. Fashion Show Ladies mark down the date of Nov. 13 at 8 p.m. now. It's the date set for the Woman's Club fashion show at the McHenry Country Club. Chairwoman for the event is Carole Humann and you can obtain tickets from her by calling 385-1605. Hope You're Better Heard Greg Mayer has had a broken thumb as a result of football, hope it's much better by this time. Melvin Radloff was a patient at McHenry hospital last week. Joe Prazak is still sporting his bandaged finger, hope that bang he took on it at work last week didn't undo anything. Clubs And News Barb and I are just as anxious to write news of people and of our numerous clubs as you are to read the news but we do need YOUR help. It's your column, your news, we only try to put it into writing but without you telling us this becomes very hard to do. We can spend hours dialing numbers to no avail Please won't you help? Every organization must have someone in charge of publicity, so how about having an item put in the column. If we're not home just leave your notes in the door, we'll call you for any thing we don't understand. Hope we hear from all the clubs we have in our subdivision. This also goes for all individuals, birthdays, parties, visits, weddings, births, anything, help us fill our column with things of interest to all of you. We'll be very grateful. We have the Scribe, Kirk Links of Boy Scouts giving us a weekly article as well as Aggie Prazak who does the football news. We hope there will be many more.

To the contrary, we are planning to improve and enlarge our business to better serve our customers by building a modern flower shop on the remaining piece of land at Elm and Third streets now occupied by our green« houses. HUGH AND ELEANOR LOCKER Patty Baird went back to school last week. Since she became ill last February, she has been unable ti attend regular classes. Dur- 'frig her stay at the hospital, she kept up with her school work there, but when school began in September it was decided best for Patty not to attend classes at the school. J remember a classmate, when I was a girl, who missed two years of. schooling because of illness. Today, Patty is able to attend classes without ever leaving home. Our McHenry School board and board of health have arranged for the telephone company to set up an intercom system in the Baird home which is directly connected to Mr. Taylor's sixth Holiday Hills Patty Baird Back In School Inez Tou3|| Thursday, Oct. 24, 8:30 p.m. Welcome Party, Friday, Oct. 25, 3 to 6 p.m. -- Dancing Classes.

Taking top honors for the evening were Ruth Chadwick, first, and Ruth McMahon took second. Community House It has been brought to our attention that many of the people who make reservations for use of the community house fail to notify Mrs. Rizzo if they find they do not need to use it. Our custodian goes down to open the doors and turn up h e a t f o r a l l s c h e d u l e bookings and many times waits for long periods with no one showing up. We wouldn't like it if it were done to us, so please, if you find you will not be using the community house for a date you've reserved please contact Mrs. Rizzo so the hall is not opened. grade class at McHenry junior high school. Patty feels 'right at home' in the class since three of her classmates are from Holiday Hills, namely Bonnie McWilliams, Linda Exline and Guy Filip. Both excited and happy to start school again, Patty can hear everything that goes on in class, and with just the push of a button, the whole class can hear her voice, so that she can actually participate in class discussion and work. Another young girl from McHenry, whom Patty was introduced to as Lucy, attends class via the intercom system also. Isn't modern science wonderful?!" The only thing Patty is missing is a ride ^n the school bus, and recess, and even that will come in time.

So that no one who wants tc go is missed, if they haven't called you, why not give one of Hiem a call and make sure of your reservation.

Mr. Oppermann has spoken before McHenry organizations on severrfl occasions. TRASH FIRES Fireflies have wings and so do sparks from trash fires. And, according to the Institute for Safer Living, these sparks are about as unpredictable in flight as fireflies."They float along on the slightest breeze, they shoot upward on jet streams of hot air. and often land some distance away in grass, leaves, brush or building corners. Burn outdoor trash in a screened container Also, wet down area around the fire and keep a water hose handy. llllUIHlHIIHIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllUn ** For Thai MAN !
