r^n.a,rB, . McCullom Lsks LOCAL RESIDENT PLANS RETURN TO ADOPTED STATE Eve Levesque After home for about six weeks, Lee Larson, Jr., (Punkin) plan* to leave the end ot this week to return to his adopted state of Alaska. He makes his home in Tok where his neighbors include Mr. and Mrs. Dick Osterby, Uen Marunde (formerly of the village and McHenry) and two brothers from Wonder Lake Florence and Lee, Sr., returned from Chicago just before Christmas and walked in on their vyaiting son. His arrival home was most unexpected but very joyful. It will be four years in February since Punkin, Dick, r:nd G'on left our shores with two vehicles and sought to find their fortune in the lush country which comprises the forty-ninth state. Incidentally, statehood was granted ftie year before their arrival. The experiences the young men have had have been manifold. One of the group, Dick, found his bride in this region. When he isn't employed in his regular job of working on the roads, Lee, Jr., often goes into the bush for hunting and trapping. Some of his game includes lynx, bear, and moose. Recently Glen brought down a huge moose, measuring 54 inches across the crown' Punkin's goal is to trap a wolf, but the creatures have been most wary and his dream remains unfulfilled. Game has been exceedingly scarce this year. Punkin and an Indian guide were out in the bush for about a week and came back almost empty handed. The temperature dips to the VERY frigid maik. Two weeks before Christmas, the thermometer registered 68 dergees BELOW Zero! Even their speech freezes at this temp! Glen and Punkin share a new cabin which they built and one of the activities which they are now engaged in, is building furniture for their cozy cottage. Lee is bringing back a stove which he built, new tool3, and a great deal of varied gear to make life more profitable and enjoyable. We wish this hardy fellow good fortune on his journey which will be about 3,500 miles in length. He'll need plenty of homemade goodies from mother to sustain him. Regards from all of us to our population in Tok, Alaska. THE McHEHftr PLAWDEALE* venture of two Civic clubs--the Cullom Knoll Association and the Ladies of the Lake. ^ The men who deserve accolaJes, verbal orchids, and heaps of praise are Frank Kurth, Ole Olsen, Rich Johnson, Gene H^uff an Alien McKim. We really should have, a "house warming" when "Operation Redecorating" is complete. The new "comfort stations" are also a vast improvement. Lively Contests For April Primary Pri/nary election day, April 11, promises to be a spirited one with three of our residents actually participating. President of the village, GOP county chairman, local businessman, and committeeman for the 12th precinct J. R.

She also seeks re-election as Democrat precinct committeeman for the 12th precinct and is unepposed in this slot, Well Over Last Year's Mark The total "Take" collected in the village for the Cerebral Palsy iund drive amounted to $1-12.74. Isn't that splendid? This included the door-to-dorr campaign, the posters in the business houses, and collections from business men. Credit for -this phenomonal success goes to Mrs. Marie McKim who headed the drive, the plucky gals who braved the frigid temp., and the generous residents of the village who opened their hearts and their pocketbooks. HEARTY THANX! Brarhhouse Interior Grin "Face Lifting It will be sheer pleasure to congregate in the beach house for any kind of meeting when the current project is completed. It is just lovely!! The ceiling was repaired and will reflect ihc liftht to much better degree with the new white covering. The walls are two shades of turquoise which blend with the furnace- instead of "sticking out like a sore thumb"' The woodwork matches the walls, and when the floor receives its coats of light battle ship grey, the job will be complete. The new drapes have been ordered and will be installed in the near future. They will be white fiber glass and should acid a great deal to the "new look." This project was a joint' Campers Unite A pasttime which has gained tremendous impetus in the last few years has ensnared at least one of our local families. Lorraine and Gene Frost, together with several other couples from the area, are in the process of organizing a once a month meetings. According to Lorraine, there were eignteen such chapters throughout the state of Illinois last year, and now there are thirty-eight! The Illinois Conservation Department encourages these groups because they are helpful in preserving our resources. The ^Campers observe stringent rules of fire prevention, they leave their ^reas in better condition than when they arrive, and it is wonderful family participation program. Even the smallest kiddies come along on these trips. The children too, learn the rulev of conservation and preservation. Mrs. Frost informed us that a new park has opened somewhere in the Rockford area, and more are in the planning stage. We sincerely hope this movement gains strength locally and this reporter hereby volunteers td handle publicity! More on this project as details become available. Awaiting Surgery Pauline Sheriff checked into McHenry hospital (room 2), last Thursday and has been undergoing extensive tests to determine the source of her misery. Apparently, the medicos have come up with a "guilty" verdict for her gallbladder and this organ will receive the extreme penalty. Her surgery is scheduled for today, Thursday. Her post operative recovery will probably be quite lengthy and time does drag. Don't forget to get those cheery missives underway. Let's give her a real "sunshine shower."
