It's headed "The Editor, Lakeland Park News, McHenry, Illinois, U.S. A." Its contents are as follows, "I was delighted when my nephew, John Steele, and his wife, Vivian mailed me the cutting from your paper of 30th July, telling of my visit to the United States. I had a wonderful trip which I will never forget. Not least among my memories was my visit to your beautiful Lake McCullom, which as we would say in this country, is right on your own door-step. After leaving McHenry I went with my brother and my niece, Marybeth Steele, on a long trip to Florida, spending about a week in Clearwater, on the Gulf of Mexico. On the way there we visited Summit Mountain and Mammoth Caves, both places being most interesting. A trip which I found extremely enjoyable was to Cypress Gardens, where we saw flowers growing such as orchids, gardenias, bird of paradise flowers and etc., which we in this country would only see in the most exclusive florists shops. Still another outing was to Marineland to see the performing dolphins, which have to be seen to be believed. On the way back from Florida we came by the Ocean Highway and crossed the Chesapeake bridge and tunnel. We spent-a whole day sightseeing in Washington, D.C., before going on to the World's Fair at New York. As you said, "America is a wonderful country" and I enjoyed every minute of it immensely and hope some day, in the not too distant future, to pay it another visit, but as we say in Scotland "East-West Hame's Best" and I was delighted to get back to Bonnie Scotland, where we have a natural scenery which can hold its own with any the world over. I am sure anyone from your country deciding to pay Scotland a visit will find a real welcome from a warm-hearted friendly people. Here's to the next time, Yours sincerely, Nell Steele." We hope Viv and John will send this copy to their aunt Nell and let her know how deeply grateful we were for her letter and of her praise for this wonderful country of ours. Hope her next visit will take her to the marvelous West with its Rockies, Mt. Rushmore, Pike's Peak, Garden of the God's, the Black Hills, Grand Canyon and to all the places that I think God created to make us aware of what a wonderful world He put us on to live. Our deepest graditude, Miss Steele for your letter. Farewell Grandma The past weekend was one of sadness for the Edward Druml and Bill Kamp families. Eddie's and Bette's grandmother, Helen Druml, was buried at Mr. Olivet cemetery in Milwaukee, Wis., following a 9 a.m. funeral Mass at which her great-grandson Danny Kamp served as an acoloyte. Eddie was one of grandma's six grandsons who served as her pall bearers. Grandma was 94 years young just last month and never forgot the names of her grandchildren of great grandchildren. She also leaves one great-great grandson, one daughter and four sons. Grandma, you.'Were a wonderful person to liriQw and we know that each of tils shall be remembered by you in your prayers and you shall always be remembered in all of ours.

Kenneth Fiske of Woodstock, chairman of the board: Myron Pihl of Harvard, William Harris. Richmond; Henry Markison, Marengo; Sam Haning and Clayton Bruce, SCS teachnicians, were present. Louis Englebrecht, farm adviser; Ralph Ostrander, chairman of the County Planning commission; and Leo Bonecke, chairman of the agricultural committee of the county board of supervisors, were guests. Under discussion were ways each organization could assist in planning for the early development of the county. With the use of basic soil interpretations now available, it is hoped future chances in land use will be determined by the capability of the land and thus avoid most of the costly mistakes that have occurred in the past. Tentative plans for a tour to observe land use in the northwest part of . the county were considered. Directors Fiske, Pihl, Swans o n , M a r k i s o n and H a r r i s a t tended the Bi-State Soil and Water Conservation district dinner and tour, reporting a very successful event, with nearly 400 in attendance. In order to provide the tree planting services being requested by county land owners, it was decided to purchase a second tree planter, and do the complete planting job; furnish tractor, planter and planting crew on a fee basis. The old planter will be repaired and will also be available for those who wish to provide tractor and driver as in recent years. For more details regarding use of the planter please contact the office. Price lists and application blanks for ordering tree seedlings and wildlife packets from the Division of Forestry-Illinois Department of Conservation, are now available from the office at 670 F.ast Calhoun street in Woodstock.
