He and Gladie had just returned from two wonderful weeks in San Diego with Mike's parents-- Mr. and Mrs. Alex Wowczuk. Mike's dad had eye surgery and was feeling "in the pink." The two landed at O'Hare airport late on a Saturday night and the next day, they received an emergency call that his mother had become gravely ill and was in the hospital. Mike happed aboard a plane early Monday morning to be at his mother's side. He was met at O'Hare by his sister, Mrs. Helen Herceg, who had landed from St. Joseph, Mich., and was on her way west. Brother and sister remained with mom in the hospital for one week, and when recovery was certain, Mike returned home and back to work. His sister remains in California to care for her mother who has teen released from the hospital, qod all is calm. SISTERS WELCOME .MOTHER FROM GERMANY ' Sisters, Mrs. Gertrude Patzke erf W. Fountain Lane and Mrs. Irene Powers of N. Spring Road, welcomed the arrival of their mother -- Mrs. Natalie" Zlobinski 62, from Langenhain, Germany. She arrived at O'Hare airport via jet, March 2, and will be here until April 20. Her husband and the girls' father, Sigmund, remained behind in Europe. On the journey to this country, Mrs. Zlobinski paused for only 45 minutes in London and was completely captivated with the trip. She met her granddaughter, Michelle Powers--3, for . the very first time. She last saw her grandson, Clayton Patzke, 4% years ago, and the young fella is now 11. Last weekend, Jack and Trudy Patzke took Mrs. Zlobinski to Chicago to see the sights, but the main reason for the jaunt was to meet Mrs. Valle Jensz, now of Chicago, but a resident of Germany during World War II. Mrs. Herman Thomas who lives near the Zlobinskis in Germany and Mrs. Jensz were in the same concentration camp as prisoners and Mrs. Thomas saved the life of Mrs. Jensz and was also responsible for reuniting Mrs. Jensz with her child. A most poignant meeting for the women. RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL 'Twas a very happy Paul Brendle who came home from Veterans Research hospital last week, following surgery. He is being cared for by his wife, Edith, and daughter, Mrs. Ruth Palmer. Paul was thrilled with the many cards and messages he received during his confinement, but will be housebound for quite some time and would certainly enjoy having the cheery messages continue. The address of the Brendle home i6 5222 W. Parkview. A most hearty welcome home, Paul! HILARIOUS EPISODE The other afternoon, Bonnie Burg took mother Marie shopping for groceries to feed the family for a week. Bonnie stowed the groceries in the trunk of their late model car and then broke into almost hysterical laughter and informed \ her mother that they would have to remain in the parking lot, because the keys to the car were in her coat pocket. Marie instructed Bonnie to reach in her pocket and fetch the keys. Bonnie's rejoinder was that the task would be impossible since pocket and keys had been locked in the trunk, and there she stood, trapped by her folly. Young Greg was summoned and sent home to get the extra keyb from Greg, Sr., who couldn't locate his set. After a hasty call to the agency from whichsthe car was purchased, a new set was cut, but was made upside down! After an interminable time, the proper keys were made, Bonnie was released and the two women finally arrived home. All concerned were most jovial over the incident except Greg, Sr., who was not laughing! CONFIRM ANDS Five young l^oys and girls of the community were confirmed at three McHenry churches on Palm Sunday and March 12. Participating in ceremonies at Community Methodist church a week ago Sunday were Frank Lorch and Gary Kumpula. Debbie Smith was cqpfirmed at Zion Lutheran church last Sunday and Sandra Lynn Betts and Marlene Lynn Linders were confirmed at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church, also on Sunday. WINTER IN THE WEST Mr. and Mrs. Matt Donkel are home again after an eventful three months spent on the west coast. The two departed O'Hare airport just after Christmas, and returned a week ago Wednesday. The trip home took just 3 hours and 20 minutes !. During their hiatus, the two spent much of the time in the area between Los Angeles and San Francisco. They stayed with Matt's sister, Mrs. Margaret McKay, of Peco Rivere. Their pleasure stops included a trip to Capistrano (where they missed the swallows, who returned Sunday), Disneyland, Knott*s Berry Farm, the Anheuser Buesch Gardens, the Wax Museum in Anaheim, and Huntington Beach. They also shopped at the Farmer's Market in L.A. Much of the scenery was viewed through the efforts of Henrietta and Matt's niece and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Raul Voight. The group also took the Voights' sons and grandsons--Jim, Raul and Mike, to the mountains to play in the snow, which they boys had never seen! As the Donkels were taken to the airport for the return trip, they almost had another passeneer. Seems as though their niece's grandson, Mike, became so smitten with Matt, he wanted to board the plane with the couple. The Donkels missed our extremely heavy winter snowfall, only to be clobbered, (as were we all) last Monday! - MILITARY MEN ON LEAVE The Army and Marine Corps have had representatives home on furlough for a short while. Charles Tornasello came home last Thursday and leaves again for Camp Pendleton, Calif., on March 25. Private John Rourke,convalescing after a bout with pneumonia, left Sunday to return to Fort Dix, N.J. He is undergoing AIT (Advanced Individual Training) for one month and then will be transferred to Ft. Benning, Ga„ where he will undergo training for 23 weeks to become an officer in the infantry. N'ce to see these handsome young men who do credit to their country. ATHLETIC WORKOUT At a recent meeting of the Teen Club, members drew up final plans for the kiddies' Easter party. They spent the rest of the evening in an athletic workout, doing push-ups, head stands, etc. Good exercise. TREE REMOVAL In spite of the call for a work party to remove the trees on the property adjoining the beachhouse, only two stalwart males showed for the job. Len Jensen cut down the trees, and Elmer Thorp cleaned up debris, left from the fish derby. Those desiring wood for the fireplace, are given permission by the Cullom-Knoll Association to take the logs which are piled (Mi the empty lot next to the beachhouse. Len and Elmer deserve accolades for their work! BOWLING RESULTS Time to bring you up to date on bowling results. On March 3, Len Jensen and Chuck Thacker tied for first with high game of 208, each.

GOOD WATER SUPPLY March began with generally good water-supply conditions throughout Illinois, despite below normal precipitation in February, William C. Ackermann, chief of the Illinois State Water Survey, has reported. Run-off from melting snow continues to recharge water-sipply reservoirs in the state and most of them are full or spilling. The controlled lakes at Springfield and Decatur are at normal levels , and Lake Bloomington has risen three feet during the last month. The natural* water table in areas outside of heaving pumping centers remained above normal through most of Illinois during February.
