LAKEM00R & LILYM00R (By Kitty Wojtas) Well, Santa Claus arrived in j Mrs. Cammarata is now at home Lakemoor last Saturday night, and he really got a wonderful welcome from tne children in the community. At intervals thje store was so packed with people that it was 'difficult to move about. The familiar man in the red suit and white beard was Henry Wojtas. who is getting to be quite a hand at the role. He had his original experience playing Santa at the P.T.A. party last year. It was hard to tell who had more fun, the kiddies who lined up to place their order for the big day, or Santa himself,, who seemed to enjoy every minute of it. from the hospital, where she underwent an eye operation. A couple more of our local gals are combining homemaking and a career; Eunice Tobey and Mylia Lane have both tanen Jobs recently, and they both like the idea of homemaking 'plus a job very much.

We were happy to hear that Don't forget the special Christmas program the junior church is having at the 11 o'clock ser vice at the McHenry' Bible church on Sunday, Dec. 21. I qeriainly hope the carolers who will be making the rounds of the village on Sunday evening will go by our home. If anything can give you that added Christmas spirit, it's the feeling you get when you hear those beautiful Christmas songs being sung outdoors by a group of carolers. ..
