Three balls for a certain sum and you get to submerge prominent members of the community. These, and many other wonderful attractions planned by general chairman Bill Walter should add up to an exciting day for residents and guests. Jhe public is invited. Weekend Getaway Your news reporter and better half, Tom, flew the coop for a few days over the Fourth of July weekend. Our destination was the Central Michigan Dragway located on the outskirts of McBride in northern Michigan where we spent three exciting days. Travelling with us were Joe Bush and Bill Garns of Chicago who ran their class A fuel dragsters during the two day meet, and their drivers, Jerry Davis and "Wild Bill' Lutz, who also hail from Chicago. The trip turned out to be a very profitable and amiable one for our companions. Joe Bush turned in the lowest E. T. (elapsed time) of the meet by streaking down the quarter mile strip in 8.54 seconds and "Wild Bill' Lutz drove his rail to the top speed of the meet by reaching a sizzling 195 mph. before crossing the finish line. Even though we were from another state and walked off with all the trophies, the losers said we were the nicest bunch of "finks" they ever met and invited us back for a return match. While there we were witnesses to a pretty hair-raising scene. One dragster, after completing his run, found he had no brakes and before he could open his chute he flew off the end of the stip at a speed of 170 mph. and crashed into densely wooded area. Only luck brought him out of it in one piece but his dragster was one twisted, mangled wreck. * More suspenseful moments were spent on the trip home when we developed difficulty with our car and were forced to spend Sunday night in Baldwin, Mich., instead of returning home as planned. Deadline for the column was noon Monday and it was a race AS YOU TRAVEL stay with us!

' We're seriously thinking about spending quiet weekends at home from now on! Case of the Mysterious Choppers I imagine you are all familiar with the expression, "I almost dropped my teeth". Well evidently someone did! Who, what, where, and why, nobody knows but village residents are speculating as to whether or not we have a modern day Cinderella among us. "Prince Charming" Mark Hansen was the party who found the slipper, I mean teetJv Seems he and a few friends were swimming out at the raft and while diving from it he discovered a funny feeling foreign object. Upon retieving it from the murky depths he discovered he had in his possession an upper set of false teeth. They must have sunk to their watery grave quite recently for they are in very good condition but seem rather lonesome without their mate. , If the party who lost these choppers would .care to recover them, this may be done by contacting "Mark Hansen. And if the shoe fits, I mean if the teeth fit, wear them." Home From The Hospital Leo "Jess' King returned home from the hospital Thursday, July 9. Mr. King was admitted to McHenry hospital quite a few weeks ago for an emergency appendectomy ahd had been on the critical list there for a while so we are all very happy to see him home again. From what I hear his case was a pretty unusual one and had the doctors quite baffled. Seems that his appendix had burst about five days prior to his admittance to the hospital and he never knew it for he never experienced any pain until it was almost too late. But now that he is back in the hands of his family he should be up and around again in no time at all. Birthday Greetings To Vincent Berry who will turn a wonderful seventy-one on July 19; Little Tammy Jensen who will blow out the candles on her sixth birthday July 16; and Johnny Frett who becomes four years of age on the 15 of July. Wildlife Invasion? v Quite a few neighbors have informed me that there is an increasing number of wild animals that are making the village their home. The racoons are multiplying like rabbits and one family has even set up housekeeping in a home on Hickory Drive. Oh sunny warm days they can be seen sitting on the window ledge of an open attic window and observing the passersby. One mother racoon and her six children are making midnight raids on one resident's garbage can and when the owner of the receptacle tries to shoo her off she just stands up on her hind legs and angrilly chatters back to her. A family of grey fox has also been sighted and seem to be up to the same tricks as the racoons. Also heard a rumor that there is an alligator loose in our lake. What next???? Well that's the end of what's new in this neck of the woods for another week. Sorry if this column is sort of short on news but you people just aren't calling me and clewing me in on what's new. So once again I ask you, if you have any tidbit of information that might be interesting to your friends and neighbors, kindly call me at 385-5183. Its a lot more fun doing things when you can share your experiences with your friends. Hope to hear frohi you real soon now.
