This same group of people have been meeting at one anothers homes several times during the last month. This is what is known as having fun in your own back yard. The neighborhood crowd includes the Jerry Rodgers, the Caseys, the Kluks, the Carvers, Mrs. Lynn Beaver and the Hudeceks. Rose Kluk reports that once again the gals won at their game of charades. You boys will have to do a little practicing. Complaint Department We are hearing fhore and more complaints about careless and even malicious shooting of BB guns. little girl was hit this past week and as a result will lose a fingernail. Although the parents were nice enough to only put a warning in Jhe paper, they could have called the sheriff and some not - so - little boys would have really been in hot water. I advise you boys to be more careful in the future and the parents of BB gun owneis should do a bit more supervising. Another complaint aimed at the young boys of the community is throwing rocks at our street signs. It takes work and money to replace these and if you aren't careful, you young ones may be the ones who have to do it. After all, you live here too, you should not only share the pride but the responsibilities in your community. Another warning to the children is to leatfe dogs that are tied up alone. They just might be a little unhappy about the situation and take it out on you. Happy Birthday Joyce LaPar started the ball CLAIRE BEAUTY SHOPPE -- Our Operators are All Hairstylists -- 200 So.
