Johnny was among the first class scouts who took the hike over Lincoln Trail. The trail is the oldest in American Scouting, started in 1926. Since that time, 5,000 Scouts from 45 states and Porta Rico, have gone over this trail. Abe Lincoln used the trail to go to Springfield to borrow books. The hike took about seven hours and was more like 40 miles than the estimated 20 miles. All the Scouts taking the hike received a trail metal and patch. Mike Maule and Donny Gerstein, who are tenderfoot scouts, toured Springfield with their group. They walked around town and took in some of the sights. The best part was the couple of hours they spent swimming at the "Y". HERE AND THERE Jack and Florence Kelso visited with Florence's sister and her husband in Eagle Lake, Wis. for a day.

There are a few dogs running loose day after day. One is especially playful and large enough to knock little ones down. He especially likes to run after school bags the children are carrying, Most of them find this terrifying. Does a dog have to bite someone to wake dog owners up? The dogs are digging in garbage cans, ruining shrubs and dirtying 19 yards. You can not even feel safe to tie your own dog up in your yard. These loose dogs are running in packs and can easily gang up on another dog and if you own a female, he parks on your doorstep and howls. If you catch one of these dogs and do not know the owners the dog catcher will come out and pick it up. He turns it over to the Vet in McHenry and in order to claim your dog you must pay the cost of its keep. BIRTHDAY GREETINGS Happy birthday today to Betty Moore.
