Don was raised here, and well known, and liked by all. All the people in the village share in the Burg family's sorrow. BEACH GALS Don't foreget July 10 is the Beach Gals day at the thrift shop in McHenry. The higher the sales, the more for the village. Next scheduled meeting of the Beach Gals is Aug. 5 when plans will be made for a teen dance to be held sometime in August. NO SWIMMING The beach is closed again, due to a recurrence of the same type of parasite that infested the water last year. The Mc­ Cullom Lake Conservation Club is treating the area, under the advice of the Health Depart­ ment, and area conservation biologist, Harvey Brown. Jerry Raycraft, president of the club, has sprayed the shallow water last week, to kill snails and weeds, and will do the' deep water this week. These parasites come from the waste matter of ducks, and live on snails in the water. When they invade a human body, the itch can be terrible. Children are more susceptible to this itch, because they run in and out of the shallow water where the snails live.

For this reason Mr. Raycraft suggests people towel dry themselves directly after leaving the water, if they suspect it might be infested. This way, any parasites will be wiped off the body before they can burrow under the skin. Residents are advised not to swim until the lake is clean, and signs are down. Fishing is alright. But please remember to throw back any bass under 10 inches, and keep blue gills and pan fish out of the water. The Conservation club intends to check the water periodically after it is cleared, to possibly prevent a recurrence of these parasites. Mr. Raycraft says the lake should be safe for swimming in a few weeks. MOVING In a few days, Fred, and Irene Groh, and son, Eddie, will be leaving the village for their new home, an 84 acre farm near Harvard. They have enjoyed living in McCullom Lake, and will be sorry to leave their friends. But Mr. Groh has wanted a farm for a long time, and they're all looking forward to this move. Mr. Groh will keep his present engineering job in Chicago, and do some part time farming besides. He wants to get a couple of cows, and a tractor, and maybe grow a few crops. Mrs. Groh said she'd like to try raising chickens. Eddie is just excited about living on a farm. There is plenty of land for hunting, too. The Grohs moved here from Chicago in 1968, although they've had their present home 17 years, and used it as a summer home prior to moving in permanently. The house they're moving into is quite big, and modern. Should be plenty of room for the Grohs' sixteen grandchildren, when they come to visit. Mrs. Groh has been president of the Ladies of the Lake the past two years, and they really hate to see her go. The Grohs have been good neighbors, and will surely be welcome in their new com­ munity. VILLAGE TRUSTEE RECOVERING Gene Frost, village trustee, of 2915 Spring road recently spent a few days at McHenry hospital, after suffering a slight heart attack. Luckily, it was very mild, and Mr. Frost will be able to resume normal activity after a short period of rest. However, he. will have to practice moderation. A small price to pay for good health. MAILBOXES VANDALIZED > Some kids have been tam­ pering with mail boxes on Fountaine Lane lately. Please ask your children to respect other people's property. Also, tampering with mail boxes is a federal offense. GAME SET Saturday, June 30, is the date set for the game between the Tigers, and the girl's team, hereafter known as the Mc­ Cullom Lake Sweethearts.

The girls range in age from 9 through 15. The game will be played at 1 p.m. at the beach. Good luck to all, and may the best team win. LITTLE LEAGUE Tigers won the first game of the season 9-8 over the Cubs. It was a close game, and both teams played very well. June 28, thte Sox play the Cubs, and July 2, Sox play the Tigers. Parents are reminded Tag Day is July 7, and volunteers are needed to drive the boys to town, and help with the serving of hot dogs, at the Mayers' house, afterward. LADIES OF THE LAKE Not being too familiar with the Ladies of the Lake, I called on Mrs. Marie Howe, a member, recently to see if she could give me some in­ formation. We had a pleasant visit, and I learned a lot, which impressed me very much. For others, who may not know much about , this fine organization, this is some of what it's all about. The Ladies of the Lake was first organized in 1954 for the purpose of doing good for the village. The very first president was Ruth Smith, now deceased, who lived on Orchard drive. Among charter members who still live in McCullom Lake are Ethel Brendle, Mary Kantorski, Eve Levesque, Betty Murray and Theresa Schultz. Two others, Laura Meyer and Gerry Boeh- m, are now McHenry residents. Some of the charter members have moved out of the area, or are now deceased. One of the earliest ac­ complishments of the ladies, was presenting to the village police department its first squad car. The village had just recently been incorporated, there were lots of expenses, and money was hard to come by. Mrs. Howe said the squad cost about $250 and was maybe third or fourth hand, but was a real source of pride to all con­ cerned. The ladies also paid for the original street signs in the village, which have since been replaced. Through the years, the group has donated to many causes, including charities, the rescue squad, and the county library, to name a few. At Easter time they send plants to all shut-ins in the village. They have set up a welfare fund to give financial help to residents in case of need. They also participated in the festivals which used to be held yearly. Their money making ideas are countless. Almost every meeting, at least a few more dollars go into the kitty. It's not all business, though. Games are played at meetings, and every Christmas the ladies treat themselves to a real good party. Mrs. Howe, and the other members, past and present, recall some great times together which will be remembered. It would be impossible to name all4 the women who have belonged to the group. But they were all ages, from newly-married to 70 plus. Presently, there are about thirty members, and the organization that pledged to do good for the village almost 20 years ago is still going strong. CARNIVAL The kids giving the carnival for Muscular Dystrophy July 14 and 15 are doing great. The've collected over $100 so far, and have received many donations of prizes. Although primarily a children's carnival, it might be well worth adults' time to stop by and participate. Articles donated include pendant watches, a wall clock, tea kettle, purses, games, sewing baskets,nand other nice things. Donations are still being solicited. They can use things like Kool-aid or pop, balloons, cookies, little trinkets, etc. BIRTHDAY AND ANNIVERSARIES One birthday this week, the lady is Lorraine Boyle who celebrates on June 27. Joseph and Ruth Fromandi have an anniversary on that date, the twenty-seventh. Anniversary greetings, also to Walter and Madelon Barten, June 28. REMINDER Engraving pens are still available, at no charge, for those who wish to use them. It is a good idea to mark your personal belongings.

When I was about five and a half years old our small wooden house caught fire. I remember that day. Old Granny, who was about eighty, was having her usual nap. Grand­ ma Hawkins was busy making her rhubarb pies. Shouting from outside aroused us, and then we could see smoke curling off the roof like clouds passing on a windy day. Someone must have rung the town fire bell for here it came. It was the last time I ever saw that old black iron fire truck. Someone helped Old Granny out and she was fine. But sudden­ ly I remembered my "mama doll" and tried to get back in the house. A teenage boy stopped me, but he ran in the house for me instead and saved my "mama doll." Many times I have won­ dered what became of that teen­ ager with the big heart.
