MCCULLOM L AKE NEWS 'eve levesque 885.4141 GROUPS ORGANIZE FOR BETTER LAKE CONSERVATION Groins in the various settlements surrounding McCullom Lake consolidated recently to set up a program of lake conservation that can and will be carried out, effectively. The first step in the program began the end of August, 1959, when 400 gallons of Rotenone were dumped in the lake to stun the fish and rid the lake of carp. Swimming was prohibited for one week and no fishing was allowed until July 1, 1961. Fourteen men from the fisheries division of the Illinois Conservation Dep't. were on hand in '59 when the project was started. Some of them included Bruce Muench of Marengo and James - Vavra from the division of law enforcement. Area residents who participated at that time were Floyd Fry (now deceased), Mrs. Larry Strandquist, of Lakeland Park, Nick Tabor, and Gene Johnson. Another per- . son who was very active in the program was Gene Piotrowski, now hospitalized downstate. Fishing in the lake was resumed July 1, 1961, and on that date, the McCullom Lake Sportsmen's Club sponsored a "rod 'n' reel rodeo", complete withprizes. We offer this background information for those who were not aware of the initial program. At the meeting mentioned earlier which was held about three weeks ago, Ken Betts waB* elected president; Boyd Knaack, Lakeland Park, was chosen vice-president; Ron Braun, treasurer, and Mrs. Helen Strandquist, secretary. Roy Meinecke was named chief deputy. Directors named were Ray - Lary and Elmer Thorp from the village; Mitchell Migdal and Ed Brut, Sponja; Elmer Hagermann and Bill Bochman, Lakeland Park; John Schmidt of Flanders Road; and Nick Tabor, Lakewood. The group will be meeting once a month and are scheduled to meet tonight at Sponja, the Polish camp. Report of first action in the next article. BOY SCOUTS AID IN LAKE CLEAN-UP SATURDAY In conjunction with the organization mentioned in the first article, about seventy-five Boy Scouts from McHenry, Lakeland Park, and the village will lend assistance to the men in cleaning up the lake. Everyone taking part is asked to meet at the village beach at 9 a.m., this Saturday, April 22. Another dump truck is needed for the project and plenty of rakes and shovels.

A FISHY STORY A group of the local ladsgathered Saturday afternoon and were swapping fish stories when one of the fellas told a story about Tom Bateman and Rich White. It seems as though tliev two of them were fishing in the - lake and were having a great deal of success. They wantedtb remember the exact location, so Tom told Rich to mark an X on the side of the boat. Rich, then relied, "What if we don't get the same boat?" Do you believe that? HARD LUCK KID •. Poor Karen Betts, who hobbled around on crutches with a broken left ankle last June, could possibly be back in the same situation.

AUV XIFL IAWR Y NEWS APR. 20, 1967 - PLAINDEALER - 2, PG. 3 Goodwill Benefits By House Cleaning You may be dreading spring housecleaning season, but the handicapped clients at Goodwill Industries are looking forward to it. The Goodwill Industries truck will be in McHenry, Friday, April 28, according to Agnes T. Adams, local representative. For pickup service or information about Goodwill, call 385-0863. Since the contributed materials given by the public are the backbone of the work and training program of Goodwill, and the sale of the materials provide funds to pay the handicapped people for their work, the winter decrease in collections has presented serious problems for the agency.

Cadillac is by far the soundest automotive investment in the world. Some of Cadillac's twelve models cost less than the corresponding models of other fine cars. And, in a surprising number of cases, they cost little more than cars in the middle-price range. One reason is that Cadillac is gifted with a wide variety of equipment that would cost extra on lesser cars. A Cadillac price sticker is always worthy of careful study. Then, there is the matter of resale. It is a very real fact that Cadillac craftsmanship is an irresistible attraction to those who buy previously owned Cadillacs year after year. This enables a person who buys a new Cadillac to drive his car for substantially less than many well-known makes over a one, two, or three year span. And, of course, Cadillac ownership offers satisfactions that cannot be measured in terms of cost. For how can you price its wonderful and relaxing quiet? Or its rewarding comfort? Or its incredibly smooth ride? So don't let another year go by without appreciating Cadillac price, Cadillac comfort, Cadillac performance and Cadillac value. Ask your authorized dealer for a demonstration.
