TS* NfcHENftY PLAINPSALER ... - o •< Tlwday* M«y 8, 1952 LAKEMOOR & LILYMOOR (by Kitty Woitas) HwmtMiBuniiMiiiiiiiHiii I would like to make a correction on the date I had printed for the bake sale for the Lily Lake Fire department. The bake sale will be held on Saturday. May 10, At the Charm House. A group of workers Were out again last Sunday working on the community building and volunteers will be needed each weekend to work on the building. It is hara for people to donate their time now with everyorte having so much of their own work to do, but if everyone donated a little time, even one day, our building, would soon become a reality. Remember how in the old days, the settlers all had their own gardens to plant or their families would go hungry, and their own wood to cut or they would freeze in the winter, but still when a newcomer needed a home everyone pitched in and helped and a home was soon built. I'd like to see , a "roof raising" party like they had in grand-pa's day. If all the men turned out to do the labor, and the ladies got together and served some nice home-made food under the oak trees, we could have a real community party full of good will, and get a lot done at the same time. " b mumil spending some time in Tuson, Ariz. Like a typical mother, Mrs. Wrublewski said the only thing lacking on her tour was her children, whom she would have liked to take along. A son, Marty, and his family have moved into the Wrublewski residence, and we extend a welcome to them. Glad to haye them become a part of our village. It is said that truth is stranger than fiction, and I think that true love stories are sweeter than any that Hollywood writers think up. Take for example the story of William O'Leary. He was just like so many other fellows that went away to war, only Bill stop- j ped a couple of snipers bullets j that left him paralized from the j waist down. Life must have been pretty bleak for him. being stopped in the prime of his youth. But just like a story in a book,' thats where love walked in in the person of Lee Hirz. Lee is a beautiful, slender brunette, and her devotion to Bill has given him a whole new outlook on life. Although still confined to his wheel chair, he will take Lee for his bride on May 17. Jennie O'Leary, a sister-in-law of the groom-to-be will be matron of honor. We certainly wish them loads of luck, .but with a love like that they • cant fail. Marge Erhrardt attended-* banquet last Friday at the Carlton hotel in Oak Park, given by the " E p s i l o n - K a i - R o h " a m o t h e r - daughter club that has been meeting for over twenty-five years. This was the twentyfourth banquet for the members, Who have one every year. Some members are now living in other cities and states, but travel to get together for this once-a-year affair. The ladies were entertained after dinner by Inge Gustafson, who gave a reading based on the book "Cheaper by the Dozen". Later the girls played bunco and exchanged chitchat. Marge has been a loyal member fbr many many years. .J. 1 ; • Mrs. Benjamin Berman, a cou- "ain of Mrs. Charles White, was guest at the White residence last week. Mrs. Berman lives in California and she came to Lilymoor for a week's visit with her cousin before returning home. The people of Lakemoor and all the surrounding area nave certainly opened their hearts and come to the aid of the stricken Zobjeck family. The family^ escaped with nothing more than their lives, but before noon of the same day various people were busy getting donations of food and clothing for the family. The Red Cross was notified and each member of the family was supplied with a complete set of clothing for immediate wear. Dr. John Gray is donating a pair of glasses to Mr. Zobjeck, who cannot work without them. The Salvation Army cannot be praised enough for their wonderful help. WiTh two hours after they were notified of the tragedy Harold Steffen, chairman of the Salvation Army in this district, had arranged to supply the family with new bed clothing, amounting to fifty dollars. Another forty dollars has been set aside by the organization to be used toward their first month's rent, when they find a place to live. Donations of food and clothing from private individuals have been too numerous to mention. However, a place to live is still a major problem for them. Mrs. Zobjeck takes care of her invalid brother-in-law during the day, and therefore must' live close by. Her husband also depends on his sister for transportation to his job and must live close in the village. A committee consisting of Ray Blades, Jean Booster and Mac McDermott aic oollecting donations of cash, which will be used for whatever the family still needs. When a place for them to live is found, they will have to start from the beginning and furnish a home as everything they owned was destroyed by the fire. * Seeing is Relieving • OVER 300,000 INPUSTRIAL eVEACCIDBNTS OCCUR EACH YEAR IN THE UNITE?
