MM MeCttllom Lake FIRST PERMANENT RESIDENTS MARK GOLDEN WEDDING Eve Leveftque J Marge and Dave Reid will be f'surprised to read in this column > that they will be guests of honor at a party marking their - golden wedding anniversary, • Sunday, April at McDon* aid's from 3 idn. until 7 p.m. . The entire affaty is being sponsored by their two sons and wives, Avis and George Reid of Mundelein and Jean and Bill Reid of Spring Road, and has 'been a surprise until this announcement! Further details and picture appear on the society of the Plaindealer. When Marge and Dave were Interview for their golden nuptials, no mention was miide v of any celebration. The couple who met at a Sunday School session were helped along in their romance by Marge's mother, who was especially fond of the man she had selected for her son-in-law. . After living in Chicngo for several years, following their marriage, April 20, 1914, the couple and their two surviving sons, George and Bill, chose McCullom Lake for their per-< manent residence. In the pre-TV era, entertainment was mostly the homegrown variety and the few couples who followed the Reids into McCullom Lake would congregate at the only public place --Horn's (now the location of Whitey and Bernice's) -- where many talents were discovered! Dave etnertained many with his interpretations of one of the characters on the Fred Allen radio show -- Senator Claghorn --- and the title remains with Dave to this day. In the 35 years of living in , this community, the Reids have rejoiced with many in their happiness and offered their sympathies in times of sorrow. On this most auspicious occasion, we Would like to offer the heartiest of best wishes for every one of the precious years. Marge and Dave have had together, in-..behalf of the entire community and also wish them the very best for all the years that remain. Here's hoping this reporter is still on the job to cover their diamond jubilee!! THE McHENRV PLAMDEALEft thers are twins Gerald and Gregory, sister, Mary, and his mother is Mi's. Geraldine Burg, W. Maple Hill Drive and Chicago. Bud had poured a cup of coffee and entered his livings room, still clad in his night clothes, about 8:30 in the morning. He collapsed on the couch, and in spite of all professional efforts to revive him (i.e. fire department, rescue squad, and doctor), they were unsuccessful. Death was attributed to a sudden fatal heart attack. The body was brought to Chicago where funeral Mass was recited in St. Angela's church where Bud graduated from grade school. Burial was in St. Joseph's cemetery, Elmwood Park. After their marriage in 1939, Ev and Bud lived in Chicago until 1951 when they moved to McCullom Lake. He was the first route man to deliver daily newspapers in the area. He was also employed by the Santa Fe Railroad--Fred Harvey Enterprises, for 300 years. They moved to California in 1958. In addition to the already named survivors he leaves three children -- Mrs. Diane Duke, Jimmy and John and one grandchild -- Benjamin Duke, Jr. Our sympathies are indeed with his family who are still mourning the death of a close relative, Mrs. Mercedes Huska, a few weeks ago. Sudden Death of Former Resident Stun* Community With no history of illness, it was shocking when the death of Art (Bud) Burg, 45 in Sunnyside, Calif., was revealed last week. His widow is the former Evelyn Young, his younger bro- Flre Department Deserves Accolades A grass fire at the western end of the village caused consternation during the week, but residents turned out en masse Sunday night for the false alarm which was turned in by a well meaning, but over zealous citizen. Seems as though a candle was left burning (in a suitable, and safe container)., which caused a flickering glowand prompted the alarm. Proper investigation was made. The episode Occurred in one of the houses owned by Sal !Pariso of Chicago, a weekend and summer resident. No bne was In the home1 at the time. Three pieces Of equipment and many volunteer foremen responded to the urgent plea. . There is no doubt about it, we are fortunate to have one of the finest departments dealing with fires that one could find anywhere. The , professional help is prompt, qualified!! AND efficient. A hearty thanks from a grateful community MUST go to Chief Ed Justen and his fireman--many of whom are on a voluntary basis. They render a sense of security money can't buy! School Board Election Results The results of the school board election Saturday and the primary election held on Tuesday will be found on the front page of the Plaindealer, but we shall deal in local voting of the school board only. Because of a Monday deadline, Tuesday's primary must necessarily be held over for one week. Sixty-five ballots were cast before judges Emma Pyritz, Elma Nelson, and Eleanor Creutz between noon and 7 p.m. Two spoiled ballots were noted for the high school board and only one for the grade school. Top votes were given to Kreiger, Jr., 42. Howard received, 37; Neiss, 33; Freund, 33; Watkins, 25 and one writein for Allen McKim! Dr. Peter Griesbach tallied the greatest number in the grade school department with 58; Nell, Jr., 46; Lawson, 33; and Davis, 28. Announce Nuptials The scent of orange blossoms permeates the air in the vicinity of the Taylor-Gibson home on Lake Shore Drive as the family prepares for the forthcoming marriage of Virginia's daughter, Carolynne. She will become the bride of Mr. Dennis Blaha, Pistakee Highlands. His parents ore Mr. and Mrs. Henry Blaha of that community. The couple will marry during nuptial Mass at St. Mary's church, Saturday, May 16, in the morning. Following their marriage, the couple plans to honeymoon at the New York World's Fair. Speaking of the Gibsons, hubby Emil sent his wife and Carolynne to a downtown hotel for the weekend where they really "lived it up." The two gals visited the museum, lunched in the swank restaurants and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. . . Hospitalized In Woodstock Mrs. Florence (Mickey) O'- Flaherty fell in the vicinity of her home on Easter Sunday and tried to recover at home with the ministrations of a physician.

Young Students Garner Honors It is with a great deal of pride that we announce the election of Jim Anderson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Laurence Anderson of Lake Shore Drive to the National Honor Society of Mc- Henry high school. Jim was so honored at ceremonies re» cently. His first indication of his selection was when he was "tapped" by a member of that august body and brought to the auditorium for the initiation ceremony. The parents were notified and invited to attend that morning, after each youngster was safely in school. Se« leotion to N.H.S. is made on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Only a small percentage of each class is so honored and we couldn't be happier for Jim and his parents! Another youngster who brought laurels to her family is Pam Parkhurst, whose parents are Mr. and Mrs. Frank Parkhurst of W. Parkview. Mother Virginia is still convalescing, following surgery. Pam, a sophomore at M.C.H.S. rated first in the district Latin contest, in which 1,700 boys and girls competed. In order to advance to the state level, entries; were graded on a higher level, and Pam placed second. There is no doubt that Pam will,be a serious contender for the N.H. S. in het junior year and we wish to be t he first to wish her luck! Ladies Of The Lake The gals met last Thursday night in the beachhouse.

(This includes maintenance as well as operating costs.) It's bad enough to have to work all day in hot, sticky weather. But it is even worse to come home to a house that's too hot and humid for sleeping. Nowadays there's something you can do about it. It's called Whole- House Electric Air Conditioning, and the coat is a lot lower then most people guess. Public Service Company •kBOTIiieiTV IS SIMPLICITY For instance, to have' it installed in the average 6-room home usually costs from about $800 to $900. Operating costs will vary, but 50( a day for operation and maintenance over a period of 120 days is close to the average. Electric air conditioning is simple, doesn't require water. It adds to the desirability and market value of your home. You get a lot besides cooling. Air throughout the house is crisp, free of excess humidity. A filter in the system removes dust, and up to 98% of the pollens, from the air. To find out exactly what Whole-House Electric Air Conditioning would cost in your home, get in touch with the dealer, distributor, or department store nearest you.

With the stork hovering over their home, the couple drove 150 miles to Glen Allen, location of the nearest hospital. The journey was made in time and Ray Richard entered this world, weighing 8 lbs., on Monday, April 6. He will have plenty of baby sitters, with Nadine's children to answer all his needs.

Navy Grandson Leaves For Far East Wynn and Ed Doran were thrilled with a visit from theii4 navy grandson; Jim Doran, last week. He is the'son of Mrs. John Boehm of McHenry and the late Robert Doran.

Display Artistic Talent; At least three and possibly four of the Taylor children are gaining reputations of being artists. The most talented is 16 year old Elmer who was awarded first prize and two others in an art contest sponsored by a department store recently. One of the judges remarked, "He is the best natural artist I've seen in 35 years*" Elizabeth Taylor (no relation to the other one!) 12, also brought laurels to her family when she received first prize in the contest at St. Mary's school with a country church scene. She is in the seventh grade. Kid brother, George Taylor, 10, a member of the fourth grade class received a first with his Crucifixion scene. There is every reason for Virginia Gibson to "crow" about her talented young ones and Emil Gibson expresses the same feelings about his stepchildren.
