McCullom Lake Gerry Milbratz ' 385.8543 Present Trophies, Plaques At Little League Picnic Trophies and plaques were presented at the Little League picnic, Sept. 8. All the Cubs players received trophies for finishing in first place. They are Bob Michels, Tim Hocin, jim Conway, Tim Klapperich, jay Caron, Rick Scarbrough, Louis Morris, Tod Vetor, Brian White, Danny Bitterman and Mike Walter. Plaques were presented to the boys who made the All-Star team. All-Stars are Roger Brand, Steve Lingeman, John Cunningham, Lenny Jensen, Bill Wyman, Jeff Major, Jim Wyman, Tim Klapperich, Jim Conway, Tim Hocin, Mike Walter and Bob Michels. A special trophy was given to Tim Hocin, who was voted most valuable player by the boys in Little League. This made a total of three awards for Tim, and his family, who attended the picnic, were very proud of him. Lots of kids, and not a lot of parents were at the picnic. Everyone was disap­ pointed to find the All-Star game had to be canceled, due to a mix-up in schedules. It was a little chilly outside, but those who went to the picnic had the pleasure of seeing the hap­ piness of the boys who got awards. Also, the benefit of all that good food and beer. THANKS TO ALL George Mayer, and Mrs. Gerri Jensen expressed their thanks to everyone involved in Little League operations this year. To the team managers, Bob Kamin, Earl Keller and Mark Hansen. To Tom Frost, for umpiring the games. And the coaches, and all the boys who played. They also want to thank Dave and Lil Hansen, and Art and Mary Jung, for their cooperation with, and generosity to the Little League. And all the ladies who prepared the delicious food for the picnic Speaking for the parents, I'd like to say we all appreciate the work and time Mrs. Jensen, and Mr. Mayer put in. Without them, there most likely wouldn't have been a Little League this year. BOARD MEETING Although I didn't go to the board meeting, I was able to get a general outline of what was discussed. Trustee Ray Lary was again acting chair­ man, due to Mr. Luto's illness. Ralph Regner took his oath as a police officer. Walter Conrad had resigned as chief of police, a few weeks ago, for personal reasons. Letters are being sent to owners of unkempt lots in the village, reminding them of their obligation to maintain their property. Lights will be put up at the beach soon. There was discussion about the new village hall. Board members said it is finished as far as the contractors go. The completion of the building is now up to the village. The next board meeting is Tuesday, Sept. 25. SPECIAL MEETING As previously mentioned, finishing of the village hall is up to residents. All kinds of materials and equipment will be needed. Also, the uses of the hall, will have to be decided. For these purposes, a special meeting for all interested persons has been set for Sept. 26,7:30 at the beach house. This is to be a separate group, in­ dependent of any other village organizations. Anyone who has ideas, or something to donate, Letter from Washington by Senator Charles H. Percy On the second day back at work after the summer re-' cess, the Senate passed- bill to continue the funding of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty, which broadcast to the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries. By a vote of 76 to 10, the Senate ex­ pressed confidence in the work done by these two sta­ tions. I am convinced that we cannot have real and lasting detente in this world until suppression of information no longer isolates the communist half of the world from the West. Every reasonable effort should be made to bring about detente in all fields: in limit­ ing armaments, in space col­ laboration, in protecting the world environment, in increas­ ing trade. But we must never forget that such efforts can­ not have a solid base if we have no means of communi­ cating with the peoples of the Soviet Union and other com­ munist states, if they must rely on only what they are told by the tightly controlled media of their own country. The communist states broadcast about 450 hours of programming to North Amer­ ica every week. On a world­ wide basis, international broadcasting by the commu­ nist countries amounts to nearly 7,000 hours a week. The line taken in these broad­ casts varies somewhat, but its first objective is to denounce virtually every aspect of our political, economic and social system. In our country, we each have the opportunity to listen to or read opinions on any subject we want. The citizens of the communist countries cannot do that, however. They listen only to that in­ formation which their gov­ ernment decides they can hear. That is why it is so important to operate Radio Free Europe and Radio Lib­ erty. Those stations give the For Your Information Dear Friends, To provide a complete service, the funeral director usually carries a carefully selected assortment of women's dresses and men's suits.

LATE SEASON CAMPERS Alan and Lolly Rowe and their children went up to Door County for a long camping weekend, and also for Alan and Lolly to do some scuba diving. On Saturday, the Venables and Parks families joined them at the camping grounds. The Rowes being experienced campers, stayed outdoors, in a tent the whole time, while the others used a cottage. The group did a lot of antique shopping, and explored abandoned houses over the weekend. The kids had their fun being outdoors and running around. Marty, Karen, Les and Phyllis returned home with their children, on Sunday, while the Rowes stayed to enjoy another day of camping. Bill and Gert Walter and their younger children also went camping last weekend. They went up to Eagle River, in Wisconsin, where they did a lot of fishing, and the kid? did a lot of exploring.

Mix up a pail of lukewarm water with rich, mild soapsuds. Soak a cloth in the suds, wring out partially, and scrub a small area of the rug with it. Dip another rough cloth in a pail of lukewarm clear water, to which powdered alum has been added, and wipe off the suds with that. Q. How can I repair cracks in my laundry tubs? A. A litharge-glycerin paste usually proves good for this. Make this paste by mixing enough glycerin with a quantity of litharge §0 that it can be applied as a plastic cement. Q. What is a good way to clean leather chairs? A. One way is to rub with a soft cloth dipped in ordinary milk - or better still, beaten egg white. When dry, go over them again with a clean, soft cloth. Q. What should be done about animal stains on rugs? A. These should be cleaned as quickly as possible. Sponge the Birthday greetings this week go to Diane Michels, Sept. 20, Karen Parks, Sept. 21, and to Peggy Burg, Sept. 24. Happy an­ niversary to Earl and Elma Nelson, also to Allen and Marie McKim, all on Sept. 25. Sorry, I forgot to mention the an­ niversary of Bill and Pat Milbratz on Sept. 13. Pat says it's their sixteenth, but Bill swears it's been at least 98 years. HAS ANYONE NOTICED Something different about Guy Hansen lately? He's always been good looking, but now he looks extra handsome for some reason. stains with a solution made from >2 cup of salt to a quart of water. Follow by sponging with a solution of one part ammonia to 20 parts of water. Best results are achieved when soonest applied. Q. How can I make a good, fluffy souffle? A. Use >/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar. Add it to the beaten egg whites of any standard souffle recipe and bake in the usual slow oven (300 degrees). The souffle will retain its airy poise throughout the meal. Q. How can I remove paint that has been spilled on con­ crete floors or driveways? A. By scrubbing with a strong solution of lye water, then rinsing the concrete well with clear water. Q. How can I clean some of my oil paintings? A. If they are of any con­ sequence or value, it's best to have oil paintings restored by a professional. However, if you want to try the job yourself, you can dip a wad of absorbent cotton in turpentine and rub very lightly over the painting, then varnish it with the special varnish obtainable at artists' supply stores. Q. How can I repair small holes in linoleum? A. These can often be repaired nicely just by filling with a mixture of finely chopped cork and liquid glue, which is then permitted to dry thoroughly, after which give it a coat of clear varnish. Q. How can I, through my decorating, give a very small room the illusion of greater size? Try wallpapering three v^alls in a plain modest pattern, and the fourth wall in a predominant bold pattern. Q. How can I remove stub­ born stains from my kitchen sink or bathtub? A. Try rubbing over these stains with table salt dampened with turpentine, then rinsing with clear water. PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19,1973 people behind the Iron Cur­ tain the chance to have a ijHEree flow of information, something we in the United States treasure as one of our most basic freedoms. The broadcasts also give them the opportunity to make deci­ sions for themselves based on the information they hear on the radio. Radio Liberty and Radio Free Europe devote some 50 percent of their air- time to coverage of internal events, but everything that is broadcast on foreign as well as domestic affairs is couched in terms meaningful to the" listener taking into account the other sources Of information available to him, the history and culture of his country, his psychology and aspirations. When the Foreign Rela­ tions Committee held hear­ ings on the importance of the two radio stations, several highly-respected international authorities spoke on behalf of my bill to continue funding for the stations. The most moving tribute to their effectiveness, however, came from a letter smuggled out of Czechoslo­ vakia, to Radio Free Europe in Munich. The young writer, stating first that he was an official of the Socialist Youth Union, wrote: "Your station is listened to by many people in this country, so go on broadcasting the truth, which we don't hear from the com­ munists." I worked very hard for the passage of this legislation be­ cause it is necessary that the people of all the world know as much as they can about each other in order to make better decisions and build the spirit of understanding which is essential to world peace. The overwhelming margin of victory in the Senate is clear evidence of American support for those who speak for per­ sonal liberty in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. It is a freedom we could not afford to deny them. spurgeon's Limited Time! •fcOT Saturday 8:30-6:09 Sunday 10:00-5:00 Save l01 to 201! Playtex Bra and Girdle SALE!

NEWS EDITOR'S NOTE: Veterans and their families are asking thousands of questions con­ cerning the benefits their Government provides for them through the Veterans Ad­ ministration. Below are some representative queries. Ad­ ditional information may be obtained at any VA office. Q. ~ As an eligible veteran, I'd like to get a GI home loan, but my salary is not large enough for the house we need. Will the Veterans ad­ ministration include my wife's earnings in addition to mine in considering our eligibility for a loan? A - Yes. Since July 18, VA has been giving full con­ sideration to income of the veteran's spouse in processing GI home loans. Q- My daughter attends college under the Veterans administration dependents' e d u c a t i o n a l a s s i s t a n c e program. If she marries, will VA continue to provide this benefit? A - Yes, VA will continue to pay this assistance. However, the agency is not permitted to pay additional allowances for your daughter's dependents. Q - As a widow of a veteran who died of a service connected disability, am I entitled to T V COMMENTARY AMERICA, AlistairCooke's series on American history, won four Emmys and knight­ hood for Cooke, among other honors. But, alas, it was a flop in the ratings. THERE WERE probably three reasons for this. It was scheduled opposite "Marcus Welby, M.D.," which disect- ed away many adult viewers; it was on late in the eve­ ning when youngsters were already abed; and it was on irregularly. NOW, praise Xerox, "Amer­ ica" is back. The series has been sold as a weekly offering to nearly a hundred stations across the country. It will start on most of these stations the second week in September, probably on Fri­ days, Saturdays, or Sundays. commissary privileges? A - Yes, provided your husband was retired, or was rated as having a 100 percent service connected disability at the time of his death. Ap­ plication forms may be ob­ tained from any Veterans administration regional office or the appropriate military base. It will be shown in the early evening. IT IS HOPED that we viewers will make this sec­ ond running of "America" a popular success, equal to the critical success it achieved the first time around. WHEN WILL the (networks) ever learn that it is fruit­ less to be a leader if one doesn't have a following. Indications were that the p u b l i c w o u l d n ' t a c c e p t "Sticks and Bones." CBS aired it anyway ana specula­ tion is that the tune-out rate in the first half was probably astronomical. SPECTATOR sports fans should be in hog heaven now, as long as the tube is func­ tioning. Looking at the schedule, one sees offer­ ings of football, wrestling, baseball, boxing, tennis, golf, putt-putt golf, bowling, skating, and many others.
