The event was sponsored locally by interested business men, in cooperation with the Standbys of the Blackhawk Fan club. Local chairmen were Dave Lennon and Jerry Mathews.

His parents are Shirley and Art Olsen and the bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vern Freund, all of McHenry. The Rev. Thomas Johnson and the Rev. Warren Thummel officiated during the service. There was an inspiring unity of religions present. Petite and lovely Mykell was a vision of delight as she came down the aisle, escorted by her father. The groom's family was well represented in the wedding party with his sister - Mrs. Karen Gies, serving as matron of honor and his two wee sisters - Taina and Lisa, just adorable as junior bridesmaids. Darlene Freund was maid of honor and Donna Freund was bridesmaid. LOOK!

HARROWING EXPERIENCES DURING WESTERN TRIP Getting lost on horseback in the wild Rockies and a terrifying trip down a mountain road provided plenty of excitement for the Lenny Jensen family on their recent western odyssey. The family of six joined with two other families for a total of sixteen to make the western trek. ' Along with Gerry, Lenny, Darlene, Sharon, Tammy and young Lenny were the families of Mr. and Mrs. Loren Goebel, their three children and Dee's father and Dick and Marge Moore, and two children, Lake Zurich. Vehicles included a truck with a camper and a car with trailer camper and a large tent. The entourage departed late Sunday night, Aug. 4, driving through the night and all the next day. They arrived on the Colorado border, Monday p.m., and set up camp. Would you believe they prepared for the night between a railroad and a main thorofare? No sleep for the parent Jensens that night. Tuesday afternoon, the group arrived at Estes Park, the entrance to the Rocky Mountains. Beautiful campsite and much enjoyed. Wednesday morning, the men and boys went trout fishing, while the females explored the splendor of the mountains, including a snowball fight at 12,000 foot elevation. It was somewhat later, that Gerry agreed to take the girls on a horseback ride through the scenic splendor. This is when they lost their way and it was tours before they were able to •return to campsite without the aid of the Forest Rangers. Frightening time! Before the group of seven left the stables, Gerry was happily surprised to greet a girl chum from Mt. .Prospect. Small world. The entourage departed their camp site and arrived at Glendo, Wyo., <m Thursday, Rain and chilly weather dampened the enthusiasm although the scen- . ery was beautiful. Friday morning, the parade headed for the BlackHills,South Dakota, arriving in the after- - noon, hi the next two days, they camped at Custer State Park, visited Mount Rushmore, Story Book Island, a zoo, museum and left Saturday evening for the Badlands. They drove most of Saturday and all day Sunday, arriving home late at night. The hysterical experience in the mountains occurred when the women and girls were on a sightseeing trip, encountered workmen and were asked to deliver the ring to the flagmen, indicating that traffic at the bottom could proceed upwards. Hairpin curves and no sight of the flagmen incurred horror in all their hearts. They finally encountered some, delivered the ring, and traffic from the bottom backed up for more than three blocks, was allowed to continue up the slopes. Hysteria hardly describes the episode. MORE FUNDS FOR LITTLE LEAGUE COFFERS Another $11 has been added to the Little League treasury, thanks to Mrs. Lorraine Blom and four mothers who assisted. The four donated ingredients and Mrs. Blom made soft drinks which were peddled and the proceeds found their way to the treasurer. From reports, snide remarks were made about individuals reaping a harvest from the little guys. How small can anyone be? 'Nuff said? LITTLE LEAGUE PICNIC The boys turned out, some without lunches, making it mandatory for those in charge to make a mad dash to town for the purchase of hot dogs, etc. The roast corn was plentiful but families were sadly lacking. Since all the ball games were not completed, the trophies could not be awarded. Inclement weather caused cancellation of games, which should have. been played out this week. News from that quarter next week. Terrific news about a new association for young fellows of all ages coming up next week.

POLITICAL CORNER VISltS CITY Arthur Simon, brother of the State Senator Paul Simon CDTroy ) visited McHenry on Monday and contacted local residents on behalf of Senator Simon's bid for the post of Lieutenant Governor of Illinois. He is on leave from his Lutheran parish in New York City, where he serves as pastor in a tenament district on Manhattan's Lower East side. Hand facile eme juii c^u rum virtationus Res august clout!.* --A 1900-year-old fact from Juvenal M The celebrated Roman author observed in the 1st Century that "They do not easily rise whose abilities are repressed by poverty at home."* The poverty we see in this community is not bleak hunger and want but the impoverished spirit of a household caught up in hounding credit obligations. Not only is the future of children ignored in such an environment but they get sad lessons in money mismanagement to afflict their own adulthood. A savings account, with regular pay-day additions, is a way to end "poverty at home" and give the kids the kind of start they deserve.
