GIRLS SOFTBALL TEAM Some time ago, interest was shown by some of the jzirls in the subdivision for the farming of a 12 inch softball team and a request was put in this column for all girls who would like to play to please call Tillie Williams or Marge Connell. The response was good...we have secured the use of a field and would like to have all girls 9 years old through 15 years of age who are interested to please be at the field across the street from Jackie Carbone's home on Lilac Street on Monday night, June 26 at 6 p.m. Depending on the number who show up, teams will be formed and practice will start.

If anyone has any and could donate them to this cause, it would be very much ap­ preciated. Either drop them off at the Stackhouse residence or give him a call at 385-8641 and he will arrange to get them. JUNIOR GIRL SCOUT 2CENTS DAY It's not often that you can find cute little things for only 2 cents but if you happened to be in McHenry on June 10 and wandered over towards the city park, there were bargains galore and nothing cost more than 2 cents. The occasion was the Junior Girl Scout "2 cents" day and our Troop 478 par­ ticipated in it. Jackie Carbone and Lil Goebel helped the girls set up their booth which was completely decorated in greerr and gold streamers. Ap­ proximately nine Junior Girl* Scout troops took part in this "Fun Day" and anything and everything could be purchased. All profits went into their own troop treasury. There was a fish pond, ring toss, Bozo's buckets, arts and crafts, a fortune teller and kool aid and candy stand. Our troop had a white elephant booth and also made and sold "smilie" necklaces. The girls who contributed their time and efforts were Paula Carbone, Chrissy Connell, Patricia Goebel, Kynne Kathon, Cindy Rasbaugh and Dale Williams. To close the interesting af­ ternoon, a young college gal with her guitar led all the girls in a half hour song-fest and everyone had loads of fun and also came home with some real good bargains. HOLIDAY HILLS VISITORS For the past five weeks, the Connell home on Oak Lane has had a very welcome visitor, Walter Schweik, Marge's dad, who was staying with her while Marge's mom was in Resurrection hospital. Grand­ ma Schweik is now out of the hospital and also with Marge recuperating from serious surgery. The sunshine and fresh country air has been very beneficial in getting grandma back on the road to recovery as have the relatives and friends who sent her cards during her stay in/the hospital and who have /topped in to see her. Friends for almost thirty-five yearsC Mr. and Mrs. Herb Hessler from Whispering Oaks, spent the afternoon here last • week and really cheered her up. Another visitor, the Rev. Raymond Goedert, Marge's cousin, who is associated with the Chancery office for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago drove out to spread a "little good cheer". We all hope and pray that grandma continues improving and will soon be feeling her cheerful self again and enjoys her recuperation period here in Holiday Hills. GET-WELL WISHES Get-well wishes are sent this week to little David Emmons who received six stitches as a result of a fall and also to Janice Novak who hurt her leg and is now on crutches. 4-ACE 4-H PAPER DRIVE If you happen to have a stach of newspapers that you would like to get rid of, give Karen Maras a call at 385-6279 and she will see to it that they are picked up by one of the busy 4- Ace 4-H Club Members.

TRIP TO WASHINGTON D C. Four of our Holiday Hills young people recently spent a grand and glorious week on a trip to Washington, D C. Judy Abbink, Pam Hampton, Nancy Harper and Janet Szamlewski motored by bus to their first stop, Gettysburg, Penn­ sylvania, where they toured the Gettysburg National cemetery and viewed the Eisenhower homestead. The next morning, the tour continued on its way to the capital. While the members of the tour stayed in a motel in Maryland, each day they went into our nation's capitol for sightseeing. j In Washington, D.C., their sightseeing adventures took them to the White House, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, Jefferson Memorial, Arlington cemetery and many other sights in and around this beautiful city. They also took a boat trip up the Potomac River from Washington to Mt. Ver­ non, the home of George Washington. Beside^the sightseeing, the gals enjoyed using the motel pool as often as they had free time. They especially enjoyed a pool party and dance with a live band that played for their group and another group from Antioch. All four girls agree it was a wonderful trip, and that their week of traveling went by all too quickly. CONNIE ABBINK FETED AT BRIDAL SHOWERS This is the year for wed­ dings in the Abbink household.
