GOODIES FOR KIDS HALLOWEEN PARTY An exotic bonfire, an ugly Witch, games, prizes, and refreshments are the attractions offered to the local small fry when the McCuHom-Knoll Association will give their annual Halloween party Saturday night, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the beach. With dusk arriving earlier, the kids will have ample time for "trick or treating" before attending the evening festivities. Rich Johnson, who definitely has a way with children because of his high regard for them, has elaborate plans to make the evening an exciting one. His very capable crew includes Mrs. Gerry Jensen, A1 McKim and daughter, Karen, Edna Ayers, Bonny Egerstaffer, Dawn Parenti and Mary Aalto. Awarding prizes will be much fairer with the youngsters being divided into three categories by age and "nifty gifties" for each grouD. The evening will terminate with nourishing and tasty refreshments for those attending. "Shine On, Harvest Moon" And it truly did for about thirty teens last Saturday night as they embarked on their very fine and successful hay ride which ended with a bonfire at the beach. The young people met at the beachhouse at 7:15 p.m. and went directly to Peterson's farm where the racks were ready and waiting. Ken Peterson and his brother-in-law, Cliff Wilson, drove the tractors which hauled the hay wagons. Gerald Burg chaperoned one group while "Andy" Kane "rode herd" on the other ve hide. Taking advantage of the dandy outing were Edna Ayers, Bob Radosh, Sandi Brennan and brother, Bill; Jim Marco, Ginny Taylor, BotfoSchopp, Melinda Mass, Tony (?), John, Jim and Val Bailey, Mark and Guy Hansen and Jim Carroll. Others included Bob Hester, Mary Aalto, Mildred Ayers, cousins, Nancy and Bonnie Burg, Johnny Lucars, Dick Anderson, Linda Kane, Carl Harth, Dawn Parenti, Allen (?), Renee Sommors, Corky True and Bernice Bjork. Because of an unfortunate accident two years ago, Ken Peterson and Mr. Wilson deemed it advisable to stay off the busy thoroughfare and stick with the woods. ,The kids were taken "up hill aftd down dale" through very scenic farm land which is in abundance in this "neck of the woods". Some of the little gals screamed in fright as corn stalks in the field started moving and bouncing around. Nope, 'twarn't ghosts. Just J. R. Levesque and Don Nelson giving the kids a bit of excitement. They almost got run over for their efforts! The strictly "fun" evening ended at the beach with a succinct explanation from scribe Edna Ayers. "Hay ride. Big success!" The evening ended at a very respectable 11:30 p.m. Shocking Experience With the publicity already given the shocking experience at the Community Methodist church a week ago Tuesday night when Jake and I attended the regularly scheduled meeting of the McHenry' Township Republican Women's iub, this reporter will touch it but briefly. . ;It is still beyond comprehension why this heinous crime would be perpetrated. Why the .tire jrfashings? Why destroy tHe rtjef of a car belonging to a man elected BY THE PEOPLE and has been serving in this capacity? He has received many endorsements by non-political groups. We refer to State Rep. John Conolly of Gurnee, a visitor to our town. Why break into the automobile owned by Judge Laverne Dixon --a candidate for judge of the Circuit Court in the 19th judicial district? AND WHY THE ROCK THROUGH THE CHURCH WINDOW? A protest against one of our basic freedoms?--The freedom of assembly. A very orderly meeting, conducted by president of the organization-- Mrs. Tom Davis, and turned over to State Senator Bob Coulson and other representatives present. The Republican Women's organization has offered to pay for the damage so members of the congregation will not suffer loss because of the meeting. A huge bouquet of verbal orchids to Officers Clarence Hummel and Charles Bolster who responded so promptly; to the young man from the service station who changed the tires at midnight; and to the Rev. Ernest C. Carder, pastor of the church who stayed with us while repairs were made. send cheery messages to those confined! Even On The Grapefruit! With the birth of their fourth child and second girl on Tuesday, Oct. 20, Grace and Roger Kinsey have no problems with that extra grapefruit half, even though it will be a "few days" before Sandra Lynn cares to indulge. The wee lassie-- a mere 7 lbs., 8% oz. worth will have a milder diet! She made her appearance at McHenry hospital where mom and dad were waiting for her.
