Credit was given by Mr. •Johnson to the-teens for the .painting ' Of beach equipment but they did become a bit care- Jess1 "with"' the paint and the brushes. Many many thanks to Jack Schlofner and Ray Lary for the excellent re-wiring job they did to illuminate the basket ball area. They installed underground cable for a safety precaution. The new lighting will be of great aid during the summer festival. The raft has taken a terrific beating this year. The consensus of opinion was that the damage is being done by outsiders using our beach and destroying the equipment. In order to eliminate this hazard, identification cards will be mailed to all residents of the village, and must be presented upon request before use of the beach will be allowed. ONLY residents of the community and their guests are entitled to beach privileges! The next meeting will be held the first Sunday in August. Visit Queen of the Island Mr. and Mrs. Raymond E.

Madeline Island is a small island in Lake Superior, off the coast of Bayfield, Wis. Many years ago, Mrs: DeWitt's grandfather settled the island and operated a hardware store on its shores. He also did a little farming and raised some cattle. Eevrything was just fine until they discovered that the Indians in the area weren't too friendly. In fact they not only raided his hardware store but swiped his cattle as well. But grandfather and his family took off in hot pursuit after them and managed to recover all their property. The Lndians then agreed to a truce and bestowed the title of "Honorary Chief of the Island" to grandfather and his descendants. And the family has been held in great esteem to this day.
