HOLIDAY R HILLS NEWS INEZ YOUNG " - - S854nt SCRIBE EXTENDS THANKSGIVING WISHES TO ALL It's that time of year, when we celebrate one of our best loved holidays, Hianksgiving. Turkey, cranberries and pumpkin pie will adorn most of our tables because they appeared at the first Thanksgiving and have become symbols of the holiday. Let us not put symbols before the real reason for celebration. In our home we are thankful for family, friends, good health, a country where we can worship God, and most of all answered prayers. My Thanksgiving wish for you would be that you all take time to count your blessings so that you can celebrate with 'Thanksgiving*. OUR CUB SCOUT NEWS Cub Scout Pack 458 of the Griswold Lake area reports its first activities of the current season. The boys gave three cheers to the ladies of the VFW post 4600 Auxiliary of McHenry, who are their sponsors for the current year and have also provided them with a place to hold their monthly pack meetings. The first pack meeting will be held on Nov. 29, that's a Wednesday, in the VFW hall in McHenry, at 7 p.m. They are held early and kept short in order not to deprive the youngsters of any sleep during the school week. The Den Mothers and boys have arranged a very interesting program. The theme of the month centers around the Thanksgiving activities. The Pack meeting is open to any mothers and fathers of boys 8 years or older who would like to become members of Cub Scout Pack 458. It is hoped that Mike Huntley of the Kishwaukee district will be present as guest. Refreshments will be served after the meeting. Of the old timers returning to Cub Scout Pack 458 we have the following boys: John Boettcher, Roy Breede, Glen Exline, William Mahon, Jr., Thomas Lundelius, Keith Teuber and Alan White. New boys being welcomed into the group are: Kurt Teuber, Timothy Hughes, John Emerson, Anthony Christy, James Mullins, Richard Connell and Lloyd Wright. Adult leaders for this charter are: Cubmaster, Jack White, Den Mothers of den 1, Helen Boettcher and Mary Ann Mahon, Den Mothers of den 2, Patricia Hughes and Abbie E- . merson. Committe men are Harold Breede and Henry Haufe. Needless to say, in order to be able to accept more parents and boys into the pack, they must have more adult helpers. There are two dens with seven boys in one and eight in the other. This is the maximum for a den. More than that can become a problem. Cub scouting is not only preparatory to boy scouting, but it is also a family venture. This means that if a boy wants to join Cub Scouts, his parents must?, also join, actively, not in signature only. Let's make this a big year for Pack 458.

All the hippies, witches, shieks, monsters and what have you were there. There were Dracula direct from Transylvania, a river boat gambler right off the Memphis Belle, King Saud from Saudi, Arabia, and others too numerous to mention. Everyone had a bang up trip, we can assure those of you unfortunate enough not to have been there. There were dancing and contests, refreshments and fun. Cliff Biggerstaff won the best costumed male contest as a convincing Arab. Phyl Harper won the best costumed prize for the ladies as a way out hippie.

BIRTH DAZE A happy birthday to Angela Catanzaro who celebrated her fifth birthday on the twentieth, to Leon Kathan on the twentysecond and to Scott Postal who will be 4 years old on Thanksgiving Day. The Yong family traveled to Wood Dale on Sunday, Nov. 12, to spend the day with our former Pastor, Rev. E. Nieting, and his family. Postmaster General Lawrence F. O'Brien has warned that a new type of missing heir scheme is cheating thousands of families lured into buying copies of legal documents involving the estate of a person with their surname. This year 18 such schemes are under investigation, he said. "Unlike the usual missing heir fraud--where the gullible are led to believe that geneological .searches have proven they -are the rightful heirs to Manhattan real estate--the new style of promoter tries to avoid direct misrepresentations which could put him in' jail," Mr. O'Brien added. "In the scheme becoming papular this year," the Postmaster General said, "the victim receives . a semi-official looking document reporting that a person with his surname died without kno'vn heirs or a'will, that unless the funds are claimed they will revert to the state. Secondly, the promoters offer to sell a copy of probate records inyolving the administration of the estate and the personal history of the deceased for fees ranging from $6 to $12." Mr. O'Brien added that "the postal inspectors have no evidence that the materials furnished by these promoters has located a single missing heir." The chief of the postal Inspection Service, H.B. Montague, said "This year thousands of families with the name of Kelly received papers from a so-called legal research company in Southern California offering information which might aid them in establishing a claim to the $56,073.80 estate left by a Mary Kelly in the county of San Francisco a few years ago." Mr. Montague believes that the large mailings of this California ^outfit in the early part of the year inspired the developmettt of similar schemes in other parts of the country. "In some cases the promoter admitted he got the idea from the West Coast firm, and in other instances the documents appear to be virtual copies of the original promotion." he said. "As a result of questioning by postal inspectors, two of these operators have already abandoned their schemes, and in three other cases our evidence has bepn turned over to U. S. Attorneys for possible prosecution," he added. Working from telephone directories, the missing heir promoters send thousands of solicitations-- masquerading as legal forms--to per sons with such popular names as Johnson, M irphy, Synder, Davis and Boyd. "The probate records are of little Or no value," Mr. Montague said, "for establishing that one is the missing heir. Usually, the personal histories involve only the immediate or known members of the deceased's family. They are notgeneological surveys." In the case of Mary Kelly, mentioned above, a San Francisco official reported that "No personal history is known." In one instance the missing heir, if he had been found, vould have inherited a large medical bill rather than the estate listed on the court records. This Philadelphia promoter sent thousands of letters to families named Smith reporting that a George Lincoln Smith left an estate of $14,000. However, the documents didn't indicate that NOVEMBER 21, 1967 - PLAINDEALER - PG. 9 when Smith died at the age of 100 he left medical bills of $40,000.

The secret to classic carving is a very sharp, thin-bladed knife. Allow bird to sit in roasting pan 15 to 30 minutes. It will slice cleaner and the juices will be absorbed, too. Follow these simple directions: Cut off leg by drawing knife deeply between leg and body through hip joint. Press leg away from body and remove. 2. Before slicing breast, make a deep horizontal cut to bone in breast, just above the wing. Beginning about halfway up breast, slice ^ downward with straight even strokes until slices fall free at cut. Cut off wing through shoulder joint. Qut off wing tip. When one side is clean, turn platter and carve other side. If your Harry's a Hacker, cut this out and put it with his Carving Knife. One final thing you can do for "Harry" . . . b u y y o u r t u r k e y a t A & P . Our Super-Right Turkeys are all Grade "A" birds.
