Thursday. October 1, 1964 THE McHENBY PLAINDEALEH j<f; f* * * A " , -$*• ^ Seciioa Two -- Paa« Savin 1 CCULLOM LAKE NEWS EVE LEVESQUE 385-3191 Nineteen Year Resident Dies Mabel Matterer, 73, the sister of Frank Kurth, passed away in the Woodstock Residence last Thursday morning. She was transferred to the home after being a patient at Memorial Hospital for McHenry County for some time. She had a long history of illness, but in spite of her difficulties was always cheerful. Mrs. Matterer and her husband, Joseph, who preceded her in death in 1956 were often guests in the first home built by Carrie and Frank Kurth on Lake Shore Drive. The couple became enamoured of country living in the early 30's and became permanent residents in 1945. Born in Chicago, Oct. 17, 1890, Mrs. Matterer was looking forward to her seventyfourth birthday this month. Services for her were held Monday at 1 p.m. in the George Justen and Son funeral home with burial in Irving Park Boulevard cemetery, Chicago. In addition to her brother, Frank, she is survived by one son, Oliver, of Crystal Lake; two grandchildren; her sister, Mrs. Emma Klawitter of Silver Lake, Wis.; and one other brother, Charles Kurth of Edison Park. Our deepest sympathy to the relatives and friends who mourn her passing. Verbal Orchids To Scribe Carol Bateman Thanks to the literary talents of Mrs. Carol Bateman, this reporter was able to take three months away from the typewriter with no cessation of the column. Carol's breezy and very interesting style made delightful reading and we offer our heartiest thanks. She has offered to take over in the future if the need arises and we couldn't be more grateful. It was supposed to be a placid summer, but we got our wires crossed. More "hectivity" around our place than ever before, but thoroughly enjoyable. We didn't get to "vacation" this summer, but we managed to get in many picnics with the kids and their chums. Getting Chrys, ready for school and delivering her to the campus caused many amusing episodes. Last week's paper stated MacMurray College, Jacksonville, Florida, and that should have read Illinois. We're back on the job for better or worse and your continuing support will be much appreciated. Nov. Nuptials For Tom and Fiancee Tom Kacprowski and his lovely, Donna Harris, have set Saturday, Nov. 7, for their wedding date but the other details are not ready yet. Tom's parents are Mr. and Mrs. Ray DeWitt of W. Orchard Drive while Donna's mom and dad are Mr. and Mrs. Walter Vogle of Powers Lake, Wis. The young couple announced their engagement in June when Tom presented the traditional and very lovely diamond to the equally lovely young miss. The two are caught up in house hunting and the usual plans which precede their "I do's". Our very best wishes to both. Cullom-Knoll Meets Sunday One very important bit of business is on the agenda for the Cullom-Knoll meeting 4o be held this Sunday, Oct. 4, at 3 p.m. in the beachhouse, and that is selecting another trustee to fill a vacancy. Other matters will be brought before the organization by president Rog Kinsey. Mark the date in RED! Village Board Lack of a quorum on Sept. 14 prevented the village officials to meet in a legal session. The last meeting was held Monday night and that will be covered in the next column. Election For Ladle* Next Thursday Members of the Ladies of the Lake will elect new officers at the next meeting which will be held Thursday, Oct. 8 in the beachhouse. 'Nuther reminder next week. At the last session held in September, the gals discussed the school shelter project which had been tabled. No decision has been reached, but we will keep you posted. Sometime in the future, a floor care school will be presented to the gals but the date has not been set. For the social portion, Emma Pyritz, Carrie Kurth, Gail Johnson, Marie KcKim, and Gertrude Murphy went home with the prizes. Coffee and "tasty pastry" ended the evening. Off To Higher Learning According to statistics and the much higher enrollment in all advanced study schools, more high school graduates than ever before are continuing their studies. Our village is making a valuable contribution to many of these schools. Last week, Ken Nelson returned for a second year at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wis. His goal is to become a doctor and his grades indicate he is well on the road. Arnie Berry returned to Lewis College for his second year. New graduates, Elayne Godina of Lakewood Road and Sandy Josserand, have chosen nursing. Elayne is studying at the Grant Nursing School while Sandy is a first year student at Springfield Memorial hospital. Engineering, we think is the goal Of Ted Olsen who entered his brother's alma-mater, Bradley College, uilPeoria. We wish these young people every success as they carve out careers of all kinds. / On The Mend After a lengthy session at McHenry hospital which included blood transfusions, Ole Olsen looked like he was heading back to the job on Monday morning. He looks much improved but will be forced to do limited work for a while yet. Bill Brennan was injured in high school last Friday and checked into McHenry hospital. He was released and back at his studies Monday morning. Mrs. Barbara Heise who had a rough sie^e during the summer is also improving. Former Reoldentg Return It was great to see Caroline and George Goranson briefly while they visited in the village recently. Among those with whom they fraternized were Elsie and Clayt Nelson, the Earl Nelsons, and Mayda and Gene Shigley. Caroline looks marvelous and the calendar has indeed been kind. Doesn't look a day older than when they departed for Florida some years ago!! "Mor-mor" Erickson has become physically handicapped but she is still going strong at 89! She is Caroline's mother.

Fountain Lane here in the village. YOU CANNOT VOTE if you are not registered. Check your status now!

Celebration For Thirty Years Wed A c c o r d i n g t o a r e e p o r t Theresa and Frank Godina were acting like newlyweds on the occasion of their thirtieth wedding anniversary, Saturday, Sept. 26. A restaurant in Wilmot was the location of the festive dinner shared by daughter and husband, Carol and Tom Bateman, and nursing student, Elayne Godina, who was home for the first time since entering the Nursing School on Sept. 1. Excellent cuisine and camaradarie was shared by the group. A Mother's Terror Turned to tears of joy when tiny tot Shelley Miller turned up safe and sound the other afternoon. Seems as though mother Pat and her three year old were in the enclosed yard together when the wee one scampered out. Moif^started calling and making the rounds of the neighbors, but received no response. Several joined in the search including uncle Tom Kacprowicz, his friend, Ken Nelson, and Mayda Shigley. After what seemed an eternity, mother Pat discovered the little miss in a nearby yard. Good neighbor Mayda Shigley cared for the little guy and had coffee ready to steady jangled nerves. What A Thrill! A man who was my hero during the war years, and went on to become president of the United States was one of the featured speakers at the "On to Springfield" dinner held for aspirant to the officer of governor Chuck Percy last week in McCormick Place. Jake and I were fortunate enough to attend and it was an inspiration tto hear the address by former president General Dwight D. Eisenhower. The dinner was excellent and our host and hostess- Mr. and Mrs. Jack Campbell of Barring, were charming and gracious. The entire evening was very fine. Orchid Occasions Kindergarten students Dawn MeKim and Cheryl Thacker both turn 5 this week--Oct. 2 and Oct. 4, respectively--Lottie Piotrowski is in line for congrats on Oct. 2. -- "Sweet sixteen" for Kathy O'Donnell on Oct. 3--Best wishes to all celebrating an "orchid occasion "this week. A cherry "hello" from the party line and we'll be waiting for your calls. Can't write a column without news and we surely want yours! 4-H DISPLAYS In celebration of National 4-H Club Week Sept. 27 through Oct. 3, 4-H club across the nation will be putting up displays in many store windows. In McHenry county they are built around the theme "4-H Learning for Living". Local clubs include the Cherry Valley club, with a display at Gem Cleaners, McHenry, and the Johnsburg Clovers, a display at Jim and Jerry's Hardware store, Fox Lake. S C cfok QA/o Maggie Lovewell How Can I ? KIDS LEAVING THEIR COATS on the floor driving you nuts? Help them hang 'em up themselves, come fall, by sewing on strong loops (the kind that won't come off). Loops are important for school, too, because they usually provide only hooks, not hangers. -Heavy coats should have chain loops. Chain is available at notions counters, and should be sewed on with carpet thread. If chain isn't available,^ use double layer of 1" twill tape and machinestitch io coat. On lighter clothes, sew a loop on strong part of back of neck, thru facing. Or razor open a seam and sevy shut with the twill tape in it. Another snowy day ideas is a WET MITTEN BASKET screwed on the back of closet door -- low enough for wee tots to reach. Your STAINLESS STEEL kitchen and appliances will stay shiny if you wipe with cloth soaked in vinegar and then wipe dry. S i n c e S H O P P I N G FOR SHOES is a necessity, you should know the special rules involved. First and foremost, don't buy in a hurry. Their fit can affect your comfort, your walking, even your looks. Second, don't buy a pair that hurts thinking they'll break it's They shouldn't hurt -- and it's more likely your foot will adjust (via corns, callouses) than your shoe. The best time to shop is when you've been on your feet for most of the day. They'll be more sensitive and you'll notice the "pinching" areas easier. Try on as many shoes as the salesman's temper will allow--and keep an open mind on size. Try on both shoes -- walkaround several times to be sure they feel good. Usually the only problem w i t h WASHING THROW RUGS is that they curl when drying. But since no problem is unsolvable: Before washing, baste or pin a piece of sturdy material across one end. If hand-washing, use bathtub, with a broom as "scrubber." Hang rug on line by the attached piece of material. Wheg, dry, remove material -- rug will be smooth and lie perfect*-, ly flat.
