See you then. Lee Tomlinson Reporter EXCITMENTON BARNARD MILL ROAD Did you ever have a car run into your garage with your own still in it? Well Sue and Mike Hogan did last Sudnay night about 1 o'clock in the morning. Much to their surprise when awakened with a knock on the door they saw this extra car in their garage, (almost). This car had been driven at a high rate of speed south on Barnard Mill road and eventually lost control, barely missing two telephone poles and running into the Hogan garage. Thank goodness their car was in the garage or this other car would have possibly been into their family room. They discovered that the incident also broke a gas line so the children were quickly taken over to Grandma Hogan's. Needless to say 'twas an exciting weekend at the Hogan farms.

VISIT ROME Ron Silzer and his wife, Patricia, of Ringwood were guests of an automobile agency on a trip to Rome, Italy. They spent five days and four nights. Their stay at a famous hotel on the Via Venito (Rome's Michigan avenue) was highlighted by entertainment from the local opera house and concert hall. There was a ball to welcome them and a farewell banquet when they left, all of which they enjoyed very much. Ron and Pat visited the historical sights of ancient Rome and the magnificent sights of Christian Rome which included the Vatican, Sifctine Chapel, and St. Peter's Cathedral, also the Trevi Fountain ("Three Coins in the Fountain"). One day was devoted to a side trip to Florence to see the famous works of art and museums there. In the rural area they ob­ served a lot of vineyards and tobacco fields. ENJOY DOMINICAN REPUBLIC Clarence and Ida Mae Adams enjoyed a few days in the Dominican Republic last week spending most of their time in Santa Domingo, the capitol. Here is located the oldest cathedral in the western hemisphere. The remains of Christopher Columbus are located in this cathedral in a wooden box within a glass case which is all enclosed in a lead box. Once a year, on Oct. 12, the boxes are opened by three high officials of the church, each a keeper of one key for one of the receptacles. In 1966, the dictator of this island was assassinated and the present leader, Balageur, is trying to improve the economy of the country by welcoming tourists. It has been open to tourist trade for only about two years. The Adams' said it was very obvious the country was not accustomed to tourists because no effort has been made to protect or guard the points of interest. The country is about the size of Vermont and New Hamp­ shire, combined. Crops grown include a lot of sugar cane, bananas and tobacco. There is no middle class, the people are either extremely wealthy or very poor, living in squalor. They hope that tourism may help to overcome some of this extreme poverty. HERE AND THERE Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Brennan, with Wayne and Wendy, were recent visitors at the Brennan-Hepburn home. Last Sunday, Art Jensen and Mrs. Nellie Hepburn visited her sister and brother-in-law, the Russel Soddys and family, in Kenosha. Ila Hogan, with Mary Fergen of McHenry, left last Wed­ nesday for Washington, D.C. They went to the VS National Convention representing the VFW auxiliary of North Chicago hospital. Ila and Mary both belong to the VFW auxiliary of Post 4600 of McHenry. While there they saw lots of sights of Washington, D.C. and enjoyed it very much for the short time that they had. They arrived home on Saturday of last week. On arriving home Ila had a surprise. Daughter, Mary, and hubby, Earl Sonnermaker, of Omaha, Nb., had arrived on Friday. Saturday Mary and Earl spent at Rockford college with son Randy; then Saturday evening and Sunday with Mary's parents, John and Ila Hogan. Mary and Earl left Sunday afternoon back to Omaha. BUSY THREE 4-H CLUB The Busy Three 4-H Club October meeting was held at the Ringwood school with George Madden presiding. He announced programs coming soon in the county that would help us with our projects. Discussion of the county Halloween party followed. It is always a fun party with games, prizes and costumes. Plan to attend. Anyone wishing more information on any county programs should call Kim Kantlehner, our federation delegate. This year's 4-H week theme was "Room To Grow". Our club had a window display in the McHenry Ben Franklin store. Lee Tomlinson had our display set up for everyone to see at our meeting and also had a display of pictures of other county windows. Our club received a participation ribbon. A thank you letter will be sent to Harry Dean for permitting our display on Green street. Sandy Madden, Val Stade, Kathy Eppers, George Madden and Lee Tomlinson volunteered to check into the safety project being offered through the county extension office. The safety theme is "One Driver- No Riders". The club hopes to contact local business men who operate moving machines and apply decals as reminders to work cautiously. The Busy Three Safety campaign hopes to encourage safe living, correct present hazards and study steps to follow in case an accident does occur. The committee will meet to make further plans on Oct. 28, 7 p.m. at the Tomlinson home. Each 4-H club has to finance its own activities. The money making project for this year will be selling gift wrap. We hope to have our wrapping paper to sell before the Christmas season. Bob and John Doessel will be co- chairmen for this project. We welcomed two new members at this meeting. Marcia Crump who is in­ terested in dog grooming and training, and Kim Melehan who is raising rabbits. We hope other kids will join us. 4-H of­ fers lots of projects - there's something for everyone.

Check the trick or treat bag for nome made goodies.
