,r THE McHENHY PLAINS McCullom Laka FATHER, TWIN DAUGHTERS HAVE TONSILLECTOMIES Eve Levesque Probably the first case of its kind here was handled at Mc- Henry hospital last week when Alfons Oberhuber and his IVt year old twin daughters underwent surgery. They were operated on for the removal of tonsils. w*- The ordeal was greatest for daddy A1 who has been suffering with this ailment for quite some time. When it was discovered that one of the twins was also having a great deal of discomfort, the family, after ^consultation with the medicos decided to have all done at once. Although one twin had less difficulty, the fact of the girls being identical twins, led to the supposition, that she, too, would have trouble. Visiting each patient as he and she came out of the anesthesia was an impossible task for wife and mother Irma. Each was in a different room! Irma had excellent help froih close friend and gal pal, Theresa Schultz. The trio entered the hospital Thursday, went under the scalpel on Friday, and came home to convalesce on Saturday. As of Monday morning, Irma was operating her "hospital" with top efficiency and dispensing light nourshment to the trio. The girls \$ill remain away from their studies for another two weeks. A1 will return to his employment when he receives the OK from his doctor. " 1 I Beachhouse Interior to Get "Facelifting" The serviceable green walls and floor which have servgd faithfully and well for lo, these many years in the beachhouse, are about to go! We're sure no one will mourn their passing! Volunteer painters, (please bring rollers and pans!) will meet in the beachhouse at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 21. The fellas -plan to work as many evenings consecutively, as is required to finish the job. Two shades of turquoise were selected by the executive committee for the walls. This will complement the exterior of the furnace which remains in a conspicuous spot. The ceiling will be painted white, with a light shade of, battleship gray selected for the floor. The same cplor scheme will be carried into the newly erected washrooms. Should be very pretty, don't you think? Here's hoping a good group of men will show up for the paint detail. Tardiness won't be penalized. Come when you can! Your services are URGENTLY needed. Cullom-Knoll Board Notes The (executive committee met Tuesday, Jan. 7, in the beachhouse, at which time the above project was discussed. Rich Johnson reported on the success of the Christmas party for the small fry. About si^ty stockings were dispensed locally. Somewhere in the vicinity of 125 filled stockings were taken to the Woodstock Children's Home and received warm welcomes, from the kiddies there. Allen McKim and Rich Johnson deserve accolades for this "thoughty" gesture. Jack Schlofner, liaison chairman for the teen club, met with that group also on Tuesday evening. They have undertaken re-organization with increased vigor and plan a membership drive in the near future. We'd hate to see the kids disband. This is a fine club and have accomplished a great deal for their community^ With the proper guidance: and encouragement, they can do much more. Let us all help to spur them on. Tim Tomasello remains as head of the organization until the next election, some time in the spring. Bulletin boards announcing activities of the C-K Association will be installed in McDonald's and Whitey and Bernice's. Because of the cKftnges brought about by judicial reform, the beachhouse will be used by the police when needed This agreement was reached by president of the Cullom- Knoll and representatives of the village board. After-technical details have been checked, the Cullom-Knoll will ratify the agreement. A telephone will be installed in the beachhouse, for the use of the police department. A mailbox will be erected outside the building so tnat traffic violators may mail in their fines, according to the revised statute. Allen McKim reported his difficulties with the ice rink on the lake. Wind and problems of flboding have left skatin£vKless than desirable. However, skaters will be happy to know that work is being done on it. A hockey game scheduled to take place between young men and the married men last Sunday, was cancelled because of the inclement weather. of C. P. Volunteers Deserve Praise Balmy breezes may blow even in January, but just let the date of the "53 minute" march for Celebral Palsy loom and the mercury dives and the winds howl like a banshee!! In spite of the frigid Arctic air which tore at head covering and froze hands, a valiant band of women braved Nature's worst and called door to door, with excellent results. As of Monday morning, the total income was $123.02, just a "Tew dollars short of last year's $126. A few more contributions would put us over the top. The generosity of our villagers has received wide acclaim and will do so for this venture. Marie McKim handled the duties connected with the drive and did a magnificent job. Her top collectors were Gerry Jensen, Barbara Thacker, and herself. The rest of the gals included Helen Streske, Jean Reid, Joanne-Mai, Lois Parenti, Wanda Senter, Elma Nelson, Betty Murray, Petey Schmidt, and this scribe. Young ladies who lent assistance were Sandy Senter, Dawn Parenti, Karen McKim, and D. D. Levesque. Is There A Connection? Mrs. Betty Reiter doesn't mind violence on her TV screen but when it interferes with the machinations of her set, that's another matter. It seems that she was watching a program Saturday called the "Brave Bulls." During the story, one of the heroes picks up a chair and heaves it through a mirror. At that precise moment, Mrs. Reiter's set literally exploded! There was a puff of smoke, a burning^ smell, and her set went dark! How is that for coincidence? The "Welcome Mat" Is Spread For Mr. and Mrs. William Kumpula and their five (plus) children. They purchased the Forrest Bailey home 4910 W. Parkview ^ and moved in over the weekend. Waukegan was their former home. Their five children include Doreen--14, Ronald--12, Gary --11, Alan--4 and Kent 16 months. The new arrival is expected in March.

Marge Olsen will handle this little chore. During the social hour, Sally Olsen, Shirley Stokes, Joanne Mai, Gertrude Murphy, and Petey Schmidt had cause to rejoice.

Please keep those news items coming. It's so much more interesting for everyone. See you next week! Tom Bolger, our most efficient treasurer, reported a substantial and satisfactory balance in the Rotary scholarship fund. The scholarship fund was one of the first projects undertaken by the Rotary club of McHenry. Its purpose, initially, was to assist deserving students in the McHenry area, to complete their college work in the event financial conditions would make it necessary for them to drop in their junior or senior years. This approach was taken because it was felt quite a few years would have to pass before it was possible to undertake. financial assistance to outstand-* irtg students for a complete four-year course. The Fun and Frolic fines and quite a few memorials have kept the fund in a healthy condition and it is hoped all deserving students in the area are aware of its existence. The funds are given with rto strings attached, no interest, but with the understanding that the recipient shall do his or her best to repay the loans whenever possible in order to assist other deserving students in the future.
