Frank Parisi was elected to the office of vice-president, which was formerly held by Tom. The resignation was the result of lomte continued absence from Q^iomc except tor weekends while working downstate for the Illinois highway department. The resignation was accepted with regret since Tom was one of the earliest organizers for the property owners association and one ri its. hardest workers until his work cut down so drastically on his time at Lakeland Park. Many oldtimers will remember him as one oi the door-to-door ^callers that first started introducing people to the idea of a property owners' association. He conducted the first organizational meeting in a basement and his name appears on th^ LRPOA charter as a charter member. Frank and Theresa Sweeney, was baptised at St. Mary's church in McHenry.

I think I can speak for all the ^fceopte when I say, "Thanks, Tom, for a job well done." John Ahrens, who is taking Tom's place on the board, will be remembered as one of the candidates for election last spring. He has shown considerable enthusiasm in doing work for the association and his presence on the board should prove to be rewarding. "The Line Is Busy" The diaper line, that is, since thr? twins arrived at the home of Marge and Arlo Schmidt. the .nineteenth, and Ann Mary, who feels quite grown up now that she's four years old as of today. Again, because of the measles (this time Ann's turn), no party -- only the family. We haven't had any word on how Brian Gleeson celebrated that all important first birthday on. July 20, but we're sure Grandma and Grandpa Muldowney were happy to have him with them in Oklahoma this year. Jetta will have to give us a report on this later. On Sunday, July 22.

If anyone heard a loud hooray, it was just Wally cheering. It will take a while to work out the details on how long through the night the lights will be lit, but for the present they are timed to go oit a 1 a.m. on how well trained the hawk was. Helen Strandquist said that one day this *week they were going to the zoo to see Hirkie.

Puffer, their feminine feline, gave birth to three kittens by Caesarian sectioiv last week. The kittens answer to the names of Rusty, Dusty and Sandy. Coming and Going Recently Lucille Kubit* enjoyed a pleasant visit with her brother and his family, Mr. and Mrs. Rex McJilton, and son, David, who hail from Port Orchard, Wash. After leaving Lakeland Park, the McJiltons went on, to Chicago to visit more relatives. Mrs. Merle Jtfall of Chicago has been - a most welcome and helpful guest at the Len Blanc" home this past week. (When I met her she was giving Rose a helpful hand in the store. These kind of guests we should have more often!) The Franklin family had their grandmother, Mrs. E. Carey, of Chicago visiting with them for several days this week. When Chuck Campo, one of our recent newcomers, went to work on his front yard, he had his company helping him. That's the way to get things done in a hurry. Giving assistance were his brother and ,his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Campo of Oak Park. Many of her neighbors will be sorry to see Mrs. Marie Peil leave the community. Mrs. Peil has sold her home to Mr. and Mrs. Bud McCarthy and she is planning on moving back to Chicago in the near future. Sharon Leigh and Pam Laurence accompanied their grandmother, Mrs. Lucille Stevens, on her recent jaunt to Evergreen Park, where they spent the week visiting with relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Percy Stickling. And here in Lakeland Park, Ann and Floyd Leigh entertained Floyd's cousin, Mrs. Dorothy Sterling, and sons, Bobby and Leslie. This past week has been a busy one for Mr. and Mrs. Ed Czajkowski, as their housie has been bulging with house guests. Mr. and Mrs. Michael Oiesko and son, Eugene, of Chicago, and Mr. and Mrs. Ed Gabry of South Chicago spent the week; and a weekend visitor was Mrs. Mary Bull. The Czajkovvskis must treat their guests very well as they always seem to have company. The Meyers and Raiford families were hosts to their nephew and cousin, Harry Klitzner, and his fiance, Miss Ann Gibson, of Chicago on Sunday, July 22. Marge's brother . and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Doherty, of Chicago spent Several days visiting with the Dents. And now that the vacation is air over and I'm back to the old routine, J'd like to thank Joan Krater for doing the column for us last week. She did a terrific job and we'll have to call on her again. I think the change in style was very refreshing. Thanks much, Joan. Page Nina HERE AND THERE IN BUSINESS What you are has its influence in making other people what they are. At a meeting held July 10 at the Schmitt & ' Conway Insurance office, Math N. Schmitt was honored for his thirty-three years of service with State Farm Insurance company. He was presented with a gift by A. E. Yellkamp, district manager. Agents were present from Lake and McHenry county to enjoy a short business meeting, followed by the serving of refreshments. Mr. Schmitt is one of fqur or five of the original agents of the company. The day following the party, he, left by plane for California and Washington, to visit for about three weeks with his children. WOMEN OF TH£ MOOSE The regular meeting of the Women of the Moose was held Tuesday evening, July 3. It was the first meeting of the new. chapter year, with the new officers presiding1. From where I sit... iy Joe Marsh Confused "Sit"- uation Been meaning all week to tell you about Curley Lawson's "babysitting" experience. His Mrs. li'ft him in charge, about seven p.m., with instructions not to let the children come downstairs. So Curley read his paper and whenever he heard footsteps on the staircase he ordered the culprit back to bed. Happened three or four times. Little while later, Mrs. Miller from next door came over to inquire if Curley had seen her Sonny. "Here I am, Mom" came a voice from upstairs, "But Mr. Lawson won't let me go home." From where I sit, jumping to conclusions like Curley did, doesn't always make for an amusing story. I'm reminded of the people who-^without due consideration-- have concluded that I'm wrong to like an occasional glass of beer. Well, to my way of thinking. that's not only intolerant... but, what's more, "minding" the other fellow's business is not the American way. Copyright, /9>6, Lnited States Brewers Foundation , Initiation was held for Mar* jorie Burton. Refreshments were served by the officers. Don't forget the barbecue Saturday evening, July 28, at the lodge hall. The lodge and Women of the Moose will hold a joint meeting on Tuesday, July 31, at 8 p.m. Guest speakers will be the governor and former senior regent from Crystal Lake. All members are urged to attend and the ladies are asked to bring a dish to pass for the pot-luck after the meeting. ^ M % J" 9 COM*** Buy your rubber stamps at the McHenry Platndealer.
