Itirvw^r JX_^_ -%* Thursday. October 29, 1964 THE McHEKHlf PLAINDEALER Section T!i?st -- Pig# FI*t «$ >iFS^fri.rv:" 7%i: ' WONDER LAKE NEWS MARY LOU HARTOG 658-7170 GIRL SCOUT PROJECTS EXCEL IN COMMUNITY Local Girl Scout Troops excel in the effort they try to put into worthy community* projects. Last year Troop £52, West Side of Wonder Lake planned and enjoyed a Christmas Party for the Retarded Children's Home in Woodstock. Home made ornaments decorated the tree they had pur" chased and handmade toys were laid under it. The Scouts gave up their own party in order to do this and did this with great pleasure. This year they hope to take on an evergreen planting project in the community. Possibly, for a retired couple and perhaps for "Wingate", the retarded children's home. Another interest is the collection" of magazines for Veteran's hospitals and homes and the local Old Peoples homes. Certainly these are worthy endeavors and we should be ^roud of our young Scouts. The Leaders of this troop are Mary Hensell and Betty Sullivan, who are doing a tremendous job. "Troop 168 Reporting" Last Saturday this busy Jr. Girl Scout Troop took to the road for one of the many hikes they are planning this season. Their destination was Larson Woods where they cooked part of their lunch over open fires and "buddy burners" plus vagabond stoves. The afternoon activities revolved around the art of knots and the care and use of a jacknife plus a few pointers about trail laying. Since Halloween is the next exciting event this week, the girls are making attractive orange and black mobiles for their party, complete with witches, ghosts and black cats. Their community projects include the favors and entertainment for a party for the mentally retarded class which is held here in Wonder Lake. Name tags and centerpieces for the Harrison School PTA will be a very special task for their troop. They are under thd guidance of their very able leaders, Harriet Van Kanegan and Shirley Cristy. Boy Scout Patrols Vie ' For "Winter Overnight" What could be more appealing to the Scout but the call of the wild winter night spent in an overnight campout??? Troop 145 is planning just such with the highest points for a campout, for the two patrols the month of October. So far four patrols are in a tight race and very close in points, the Bear, Eagle, Panther and Beaver. A court of honor was held recently with many badges and awards given out for numerous hours of hard work. Four star Scouts were given this prized badge and pin which necessitates at least five merit badges, they are Sam Lamont, Jack Doherty Jim Ruggero and Bill Winies. Second class awards were received by Ken Kurteski, Tom Regelin, Rick Berndt and Glen Hampton. Merit badges were presented to the following: Rick Berndt in swimming and Bill Wines for safety. . This group which is growing in leaps and bounds is led by John Doherty and John Wines and they invite all boys in the community to joih their troop. Any boy between 11 and 16 may join by contacting either of the two leaders or attending a meeting. Their meetings are held at the American Legion hall in Wonder Lake every Mohday evening from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Three Day Campout For Troop 495 Gadettes Just a line about a weekend campout for the Cadette Troop (7th, 8th and 1st year high) at Chapman Hills near East Troy, Wis. Six of the high school girls are planning to make "Pizza" outdoors! Hikes, skits and some first-aid training will be part of their activities. Each patrol will have complete charge one day of the meals, cleanup, etc. for the rest of the troop. Sounds like fun and we'll have more to report on this next week. Leaders are Jane Setzler, June Rink and Marilyn Coburn. We Extend Our Sympathy to Joe Kasting of 3118 Park Drive in Wonder Lake on the death of his father, Harry J. Katsing Oct. 15, in Chicago.

About The Dance In the article about the Harvest Hop Dance it looks as if some lines were omitted, it should have read 'The McHenry, Shores Club would like to commend all those who made the dance the success it was, most of all Charlie Lindwall who was chaifanan of the affair and did a fineNjob'.
