MUSIC CONCERT By Friday evening it seemed every child who had attended the Harrison school band and choral camp at Camp Fred Loock, East Troy, Wis., had a healthy sun tanned face and undertones of extreme exhaustion fropi not sleeping that wouldn't be allowed to surface until he arrived home the next day. Parents and friends were invited to a concert this Friday evening, July 15, and the musicians and their counselors met them, all dressed in their blue Harrison band T-shirts, on the serene and almost primitive grounds of the camp/ A threat of rain was in the air with darkened clouds to the south, but the outdoor concert began on time at 8 p.m. The sounds of music and the lifting of exhuberant young voices to the skies, seemed to gently push aside to rain clouds for a time, and peaceful, beautiful cloud formations covered the northern sky. * . The young people had not seen the music they were to play this evening until they arrived at camp Monday and their performance was a credit to the hours of practice spent during the week. The band, under the direction of Harrison band director, Tom Rome, played first, followed by the chorus under the direction of Ms. Mona Brown, choral director at Harrison. The Harrison school parents and teachers who served as counselors during the week were introduced by Ms. Brown and applauded by the students, as were the Harrison teacher cooks and Supt. Dr. Ray Jones who was unable to attend. Also the directors of Camp Fred Loock were praised for their excellent facilities and service. Helping during the week as counselors were Don and Karen Six, Tom and Gaile Mlsiak, Larry and Joan Frednd, Bob and Judy Anderson, Pat Seaver, Janet (Bell, Peg Waelchli, Carol Bender and Dorothy Bazan. Camp cooks were Diane Cashen and Shirley Peterson. A special asset to the success of the week was the lifeguard, Jane McMillan. During the week and at the concert, the chorus was ac­ companied on the piano by students, Angela Anderson, Brady Anderson, Jackie VahKanegan, Madeline Ahern, with Mike Bennett on the drums.

Sunnyside Area Betty Messer 344-2494 IN YOUR GARDEN Still Time! Planting season is not over yet! Now is the time to plant seeds to produce a late crop of vegetables. Those plants which thrive in the cool, moist weather in the spring alsb do well in the fall. In fact, in some instances, the shortened days help to produce a higher quality vegetable. When planted now, vegetables are not rushed or scorched as they reach maturity. Instead they reach maturity under more favorable conditions. Such vegetables will remain in good condition longer in the fall and often endure longer after eBrly frosts have blackened tomatoes and pumpkins. Fall Planting > For fall planting, spine energy must be expended. The ground vacated by earlier crops must be prepared and seeds acquired. Where the ground has produced one crop this season, a starter fertilizer should be applied at a rate of about one-hplf pound per 100 square feet. The seedbed should be pulverized and prepared as in spring. If the soil is dry, water must be applied to get the seeds to germinate and grow. You should thoroughly water im­ mediately after planting for speedy germination. The garden should be watered to make up the difference bet­ ween the rainfall and one inch per week. One inch will soak in from three to six finches. It shouldn't be long, however, until fall rains make hand watering unnecessary. Crops which should do well if planted by the first week of August include beets, broccoli, carrots, Chinese cabbage, swiss chard, collards, kale, parsley, rutabaga and turnips. Another group of vegetables, mainly the leafy sorts, may be planted from now until Sept. 1 or possible a little later. These include cress, endive, escarole, lettuce, mustard, radishes and spinach. California Visitors At Johnson Home Mrs. Therese Johnson with her three small children,^ Warren, Megan, and Morgan of Newhall, Calif., visited with Mrs. Johnson's parents, the Richard Schneiders of 1406 Channel Beach in Sunnyside. Also (m hand to greet Therese were her four sisters. On June 25 she attended the wedding of Rosemarie and Joseph Wagner and enjoyed the company of her aunts, cousins and, friends The happy Fourth of July was a reunion with Bud and Ber- nadette Messel family on their farm. On July 5, grandson Warren celebrated his seventh birthday with five little cousins and a neighbor, Micky. All had a fine time. July 7 was the birthday of Dale Seina and his mother, Celine, had her day on the eighth. Therese enjoyed being with them at the new Walnut Hinge kennels in McHenry. A trip was made to Chicago to visit Grandmother Schneider who was delighted to see all her great grandchildren. It was a happy day in spite of the 95 degree weather. On July 9, the Johnson family boarded a jet for Los Angeles and then homeward to Newhall to tell dad about their exciting and active trip to Sunnyside and the Illinois countryside. FISH TALE Ruby and Chester Crowley, 4215 Riverview, have been fishing weekly at Okotchy lake in the Wisconsin Peninsula.

LAND O'LAKES Mayor Ray Nolan and wife, Marj, and children, Steve and Cheryl, of 1403 Bayview lane just returned from a week in the beautiful northwoods in Land O'Lakes, Wis. They en­ joyed a week on Lac Vieu desert fishing and relaxing in the northwoods. The weather was ideal and the countryside beautiful. They also came home with a good catch of northerns. Theirs didn't get away. VISIT NEWLYWEDS Rich and Betty Messer and family of 1405 Bayview Lane went vacationing in Conover, Wis., in a resort on Upper Buckcatabon lake. They en­ joyed a week of fishing, swimming and visiting with daughter and son-in-law, Julie and Ralph Rosinski. Julie and Ralph were married in April and now reside in Conover where they own and operate their own restaurant. Mom and Dad and family got to try the menu at the restaurant. Mom even got to help out in the restaurant so Dad and Ralph could go out fishing. Anyone need a dishwasher? Son Bob Messer, age 7, caught a 1V« lb., crappie on Lower Buckcatabon lake. It's proudly displayed at the local sport shop and may be the prize catch crappie of the week. Bob is waiting anxiously to see if he's a winner. Needless to say it was a most pleasant and memorable vacation. ' VANDALISM Vacations are fun, but the pleasures of a vacation can soon be forgotten when vandals are on the loose. After a pelasant week away we came home to find we were the victims of vandalism. The C.B. antenna had been broken off our second car. A brand new bowling ball and bag were taken from the car of another daughter who was staying at the house while we were away. I hope the young teens, seen running from the cars at 4:30 a.m. and have nothing better to do, see this. My daughter used the bowling ball once. The C.B. antenna was on the car about a month. You should really be proud of yourselves. Too bad you can't channel your energy into more useful purposes. REMINDERS Don't forget the village of Sunnyside monthly meeting Aug. 2.
