However, we have here in Holiday Hills many young people putting their time and effort in learning to become useful citizens. This is evidenced by the many awards which members of our local 4 Aces 4-H Club earned at the recent McHenry County Fair held in Woodstock. It's quite an impressive list, and Mrs. Karen Maras, the leader of this group, and the parents deserve a thank-you, too, for helping these kids in their endeavors.

We would like to express our congratulations to these young people for the fine work they have done, at the fair, and also for the other projects that they carry on throughout the entire year. HUGHES FAMILY PICNIC Anybody driving down Tower Drive this past weekend could not help but notice the huge gathering in the Hughes' yard. It was the occasion of the an­ nual gathering of Ed Hughes' family, and it was quite a gathering. As almost "half" the south side of Chicago began pouring into Holiday Hills early On Saturday morning, the fun was just starting. Several families pitched their tents intending to stay the night, while others moved the picnic tables under the parachute tent to protect everyone from the hot, blistering sun. Those here for the weekend party were Billy and Vi Oswald and their two daughters; Don and Jean Oswald, their daughter and her friend; Ray and Marilyn Oswald; Carol and A1 Danielson and daughter; Barb and Dick Owens and family; Lynn Rapp and family; Sharon Schendel and sons; Bill and Pearl Neubauer, Ed's aunt and uncle; Marilyn Braun, GRAND OPENING! MONDAY AUGUST 28th OF THE CANDLE HUT 3907 JOHN ST. McHENRY Ed's sister, and some of her family; Jack and Lorraine Hughes, son Jim, and his wife, Judy, and their son, Jimmy; and of course, Ed and Pat Hughes, and their children, Denise, Tim, Tom, Eddie, and Kiki. Everyone had a wonderful time enjoying the country air, swimming, boating, eating, and just talking. They all thought that Holiday Hills really has something special to offer children growing up in the area, and anxiously look for­ ward to a return visit. KELLENS VACATION IN WISCONSIN After packing the clothes, and everything needed for a trip to the north woods, we almost didn't get to go, as our car had a leak in the radiator. But finally at 4:30 p.m., on Sat., Aug. 5, we started on the Urive to St. Germain, Wis., arriving about 11:30 p.m. We couldn't have picked a worse week, weather-wise, but everything else turned out great. Our cabin at a resort on Little St. Germain Lake was lovely, and every morning was greeted with the arrival of two very friendly deer making their morning rounds of the salt licks. Tommy and Bob tried fishing, but although no big ones were caught, Tommy enjoyed catching his first fish, and all together he caught 19 small perch, which were placed in the raccoon feeder for the local animal residents to enjoy. Visits were made to Aqualand in Boulder Junction, Jim Peck's Wildwood Animal Farm in Minocqua, the Min- Aqua-Bats Water Ski Show, and to several other local places of interest. We were accompanied on our vacation by some college pals, Martha and Bob Buhrow, and their children, Beth, Patrick and baby Sara, of E. Dundee. Tommy and Jeannie had plenty of friends to keep them oc­ cupied on the rainy days, and while the dads baby sat, Martha and I made the rounds of the interesting shops in Minocqua and Eagle River. It was a fun-filled vacation, only much too short, and already we are thinking of next year. There's something about Wisconsin's north woods area that leaves you feeling fresh and ready to start another year at homg. Perhaps it's the un­ touched wild feeling, the animals, blue lakes, the lack of pollution and big city noise; whatever it is, it's great - a place you never tire of retur­ ning to. JANIK TRIP The Janiks, Josephine, Ed and Linda, recently returned from a very interesting, historical and enjoyable five day trip when they motored over to Dearborn, Mich., and spent several days touring Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum. Greenfield Village is a 260 acre section that contains many historical buildings. Some of the structures were dismantled, moved to the village and then completely reassembled. Among the in­ teresting sights they saw were the birthplace of Henry Ford; the Alva Edison Home and Laboratory; the Cotswold Rose Cottage which was brought over from England and rebuilt completely of stones; the home of Webster who composed the Webster Dictionary and the Abraham Lincoln Courthouse, also viewing the chair in which he was assassinated. At the Henry Ford Museum, they viewed models of cars, trains, planes and bicycles dating back many years. They also saw many types of milking machines, lanterns and the car that President Kennedy was assassinated in. Leaving Michigan, they drove through the Windsor Tunnel into Canada and on to Niagara Falls. While there they took a tour and saw the Upper Niagara Rapids, Horseshoe Falls, Niagara Gorge and of course both the American and Canadian Falls during the day and at night when they are very beautiful with the lights of many colors turned on. They also toured the School of Horticulture where thirty-six students were taking a three year course in gardening and landscaping. The flowers were very colorful and the lawns were something to be envied. Another highlight was the Wax Museum where they thoroughly enjoyed the life-like figures and the "Dancing Waters", which were an area of underwater pipings of various sizes and lighting vwhere an organ played music in a little glass house and the louder the volume on the organ, the water pressure would increase or decrease giving a "Dancing Waters" effect. With all. the colorful lighting, it was really something to see. They stayed at motels while on their trip and returned to the United States coming back over the Ambassador Bridge and it's a trip they all really thoroughly enjoyed. VISITORS FROM FLORIDA Very welcome visitors were at the Tackitt home on Poplar Street recently when Lorna's father and stepmother, Mr, and Mrs. Loren Lightfoot, of Okeechobee, Fla., spent several days here in Holiday Hills enjoying the com­ panionship of their daughter and her family. Everyone enjoyed grandpa and grandma's visit and hated to see them leave. After several days, they went on to Wisconsin where they visited more relatives and friends before going home to the "sunny south." MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY CARNIVAL Monday, August 7, will be a date some of our resident children will long remember as they planned very hard and had a Muscular Dystrophy Carnival on this day which turned out to be a huge success. Getting the idea from a children's program on a local TV station, little Johnny Wegener of Sunset Drive pleaded until Dee and Ron Wegenei finally agreed to let him go through with it and he was the ringmaster. His helpers were Kelly Wegener, Pricilla Kasprzyk, Jean, Angela and Roseanne Catan- zaro, Noreen and Billy DeWitt, Cathy and Barbie Grasser, John, Mark, Diana and Gina Boettcher, and Chris, Kenny, Cathy and Janet Szamlewski. The big day started out with a parade at 10 a.m. throughout the subdivision. The children decorated their bicycles and all were in complete costumes. The carnival was held from 12 noon until 4:30 p.m. in the back yard of the Wegeners and anyone who attended had loads of fun as there were many games that they could try their skill on such as Target Shoot; Bozo's Buckets; Baseball <v Pitch; Frisby Toss; Penny Pitch and Bingo. There was also a "Fortune Telia*" and a "white elephant penny booth and refreshments were sold. It was strictly a charitable endeavor, which was com­ pletely planned and carried out sby these wonderful little kids with assistance from Ron and Dee Wegener. There were also donations of candy, prizes, ice cream and help from the wonderful neighbors in this area and ho one could be prouder than the parents of these kids when Dee Wegener announced she turned a check for $60 over to the Muscular Dystrophy Association as a result of this fun afternoon. CAMPING CONNELLS INVADE NORTH Friday night, July 28, was a special night for all the Con- nells as that Hong awaited vacation was about to begin and with boat packed ~ and trailer hitched, Jack, Marge, Gary, Cathy, Eileen, Ricky, Randy, Chrissy, and Maureen left Holiday Hills and started north, destination unknown! Saturday afternoon, after driving almost 600 miles, they arrived at East Bearskin Lake Campground about thirty-five miles from the town of Grand Marais, Minn., on the "Gun Flint Trail" in the Superior National Forest. A beautiful campsite right on the lake was found and it was here they spent two glorious weeks in the wilderness away from the noise, stores and people. The weather though cool was beautiful and much wild life was observed on the many trails and portages they hiked. Fox, beaver, deer, raccoon and friendly little chipmunks were plentiful and twice they had a visit from "mother bear and her two baby cubs" looking for food. Several side trips were taken in the afternoons when they visited the lighthouse in Grand Marais; drove to the end of the Gunflint Trail through the Sawtooth Range crossing the Laurentian Divide; took a trip to Cascade River Fall State Park and spent one day in Canada visiting Thunder Bay and Kakabecca FaJJs, Ontario, also stopping at the Portage Monument before going through customs to view the L > <r Long Distance will be cheaper this weekend.

Fishing was excellent...even five year old Randy is bragging about his northern he caught on his little cane pole and when they all returned home on Saturday, Aug. 12, they brought with them an ice chest filled with walleye and bass fillets. .Johnny, Jr.* was unable to go along on this trip, but with die many pictures that were taken (Mi the 1,958 mile jaunt, not much explaining will have to be done. The kids all came home with souvenirs as did Marge and Jack, but best of all are the memories of another wonderful camping vacation in the peaceful wilderness of the North. BRIDAL SHOWER Sunday, August.6, was a very busy day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. Sawisch of Birch street when a lovely miscellaneous bridal shower was given, by their daughter, Jackie Coss, to honor Miss Jan Major, who will become a member of their family when she and Richard Sawisch are married on Sept. 16. The house was gaily decorated with white bells, sprinkle cans, a bride doll and streamers. Richard's aunt, Mrs. Rosemary Bellow, made and decorated a beautiful cake for the shower.

TACKITTS ENJOY MISSISSIPPI Although 'daddy" had to stay home, Lorna, Jimmy, Robbie* and little Raime Tackitt recently enjoyed a two week visit down in Pontotoc, Miss., at the home of Jim's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Boudie Tackitt. Leaving on July 21, they drove to grandpa and grandma Tackitts' home and had a wonderful time just visiting all their aunts, uncles and cousins in this area whom they have not seen for some time and it gave the relatives a chance to see little Raime who is eight months old for the first time. Grandpa Tackitt works for the state and lives on an Ex­ periment Station Dairy Farm and both Jimmie and Robbie found it very educational and interesting when they went out with their grandfather onto the farm and saw the planting and milking procedures. Lorna especially enjoyed grandma's delicious "southern cooking" and their only complaint was the weather..they all said it was so hot you could have just melted away.

Sincere and cheery wishes are also sent to little Michael Novak of Cedar street who is now home after spending a week in McHenry hospital recuperating from serious injury due to a dog bite.

Recruitment Drive Plans Are Explained Grand Council Chief Clayton Smith from Crystal Lake has announced that the Annual "Y" Indian Guides recruitment drive will be Sept. 11-18. The program is under tiife direction of Lake Region YMCA. The McHenry county' school districts are participating in the program. During the week of Sept. 5-8, flyers describing Indian Guides will be distributed to boys'lh grades 1 and 2, which invite them and their fathers to local informative meetings. The meetings will be hosted by tribes already established in the local areas. Dads and sons will get first-hand insight into the many activities of Indian Guides plus a cordial invitation to join. Smith stated that formal induction of new members will be Oct. 14 during the Lake and River Nations' fall campout.
