He heeded the notice and went to recover his property which had already been appropriated by someone else; Now Mr. Hubsch asks that the boat be returned to him. The number to call is 385-3154.

Citizen Serves His Community Harry Berry and son, Arnold, who was home from college for a weekend recently contributed a valuable service to their community. A plot of land located directly across from the beach which has been an eyesore for many years,"'has been» cleared. The property was filled, with debris and underbrush, giving it the appearance of a jungle and certainly detracted from the lovely appearance . of the beach. At the risk of scratched arms and sore muscles, Harry and Arnie worked for many hours to clean it up, contributing immeasurably to the fine appearance of the village. Verbal orchids to both. ^ Enrolled At MacMurray Jake, Chrys, and I left early Friday morning last week to pause in Springfield to visit the state treasurer's office there and to tour the campus of MacMurray College, Jacksonville.

We returned home Saturday afternoon with the word that papa Olsen was in the hospital.

'Twas a bit disconserting to have forthcoming nuptials described under a card party for cemetery benefit! Ringwood must have been a bit joHed also to read that Mi=s Taylor was to wed. Maybe they don't even have one! With the size of the McHenry Plaindealer and the thousands of words needed, it is amazing' that more of these don't occur.
