AREN’T YOU GLAD!
.AND
No more standing over a hot stove .. . when you cook with natural gas in a modern, automatic
gas range. There’s nothing like natural gas for clean, cool, automatic cooking, as any modern
homemaker can tell you. Natural gas is a real work saver and time saver in the home.
Automatic gas water heating, clothes drying, refrigeration and air-conditioning
are some of the other big jobs natural gas performs for so little cost. That’s why
we think you will agree natural gas service is worth every cent you pay for it... and then some.

Helweg Brothers
Attain Awards
Of Merit
In clippings from the
vliet, Michigan Record,
ed here by the Hugo
family stories are told of ac-
complishments by two sons of
a former Shinerite. They are
Otto Jr. and Arthur, sons of Mr.
and Mrs. Otto Helweg Sr. of
Watervliet, Mich.
Otto Jr. is one of the three
outstanding members of his ju-
nior class selected to attend
Boy’s State in June this year.
He has been a member of the
varsity football and basketball
teams. This yeai' he is a mem-
ber of the Student Council. A-
long musical lines, he holds
membership in the band, glee
club and boys’ quartette.
He has been extremely in-
terested in Scouting and holds
a rank of Eagle Scout plus
Bronze and Gold Palm. He is
a member of Explorer Post No.
61, Lodge Chief for Carajou
Lodge, Order of the Arrow of
S. W. Michigan Council of B.S.
A. He is also the holder of the
coveted “Tuxes” award receiv-
ed at Culver Military Academy
last summer. The Watervliet
American Legion are sponsor-
ing his attendance at Boys’
State at M.S.C., East Lansing.
A photo showed Star-Scout
Arthur Helweg receiving his
prize money check of twenty-
seven dollars and seventy-five
cents from the Berrien County
Youth Fair treasurer, which he
deposited to his Jamboree Sav-
ings Fund. He will attend this
session near San Diego this
summer.
Arthur says “It’s surprising
to me how a fellow who is will-
ing to work can always find
plenty to do and savings ac-
counts grow into dollars by just
bringing in the dimes and nick-
les. My richest source of rev-
enue comes from lawn mowing
business, next in line was fair
money, twenty-seven dollars
and seventy-five cents, (men-
tioned above) and twenty-two
dollars from the Hartford Fair.
Certainly hope to have five
Scouts from Troop 61 with me
at the Jamboree.”
Congratulations Otto on such
ambitious and deserving sons.
There is something convincing
in a boy following in his fath-
er’s footsteps.

IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of our dear
husband and father, who pass-
ed away June 3, 1953.
Remembrance is a golden chain
Death tries to break,
But all in vain.
To have to love and then to
part is the greatest sorrow
of one’s heart.
The years may wipe out
many things,
But this they wipe out never
The memory of those happy
days
When we were all together.
Watch beside him,
Guardian Angel,
Virgin Mother, light his way,
Heart of Jesus, grant him
mercy,
That’s our fervent prayer
each day.
