Lilymoor Association A combination business and social meeting 01 the LUymoor association was wo!l attended by many member.*, and residents at the Lilymoor club on Tuesday May 7. Plenty of'coffee and fine" selection of cake were donated by ladies of the community. Meeting was called to order by president Rogers w.jth a roll call of the officers and directors. Main order of business for the evening after collection of membership dues was an informal discussion of village incorporation. The president urged all members and residents present to feel free to put forth their views on the subject. This resulted in lengthy participation from the floor but many view points, questions, and ideas were brought forth for the consideration of the group although it was not planned to initiate immediate action until due consideration is given to all aspects of the problem. It would be beyond space limitations to mention here all the aspects and viewpoints that were heard but opinions presented concerning the topic included the following. Increased government mean§ more^problems. The roads and properties in Lilymoor are thej equivalent of some other are^s which are presently incorporated, although the maintenance of such services is maintained by a relative minority. Incorporation of any type would mean increased taxes. Also we heard these views presented. Supposedly the streets and roads of the subdivision are private and -therefore we have no opportunity of local return on the road and bridge tax which property owners pay annually. (This is in exception to Center street which is a county road and maintained as such.) The Lilymoor association is a voluntary organization and as such can not coerce or imply to coerce and solictation of funds regardless of how important such maybe to the community. Several examples of seemingly poor village administration were cited, but it was also pointed out that it is easier to criticize the efforts of others than to involve ourselves in positive action. Before adjournment to the cake and coffee, voting approval was given to the president for the selection of a committee to seek legal counsel and report back to the association with its findings.

A Child's Dream To have a beach such as we have in his "own back yard" is every child's dream. The slide, teeter-totters and merry-go-round were assembled and mounted on their bases Sunday morning May 12.

We are grateful to Pa and Art Olsen for their help at the beach Sunday, May 5. ' Ladies of the Lake Rain didn't dampen the spirits of'the twenty gals who came down to the beach house last Thursday night. In the absence of president Marie Howe, the meeting was called to order by vice president Louise Hammerstein. Two coming projects were discussed. First, the final plans were laid for the rummage and bake sale the ladies are sponsoring Saturday, May 18 at the beach house The sale will open at 9 a.m. and will continue until 5 but you'd better come early, for I'm betting the gals will be all cleared out long before official closing time. They are asking all of us to go poking around in our attics and closets and clear out all those things that we no longer use-- such as Aunt Minnie's vase. Clothes, things that perhaps would appeal to someone else, and bring them down to the bea<;h house for the sale. Also, if any of our excellent cooks would like to display talents for the good of the community. cakes, pies, cookies, etc. would surely be gratefully accepted. Bring your rummage articles down to the beach house between the hours bf 7"and 10 p.m. Friday, May 17. Any baked goods that keep fresh over night will be accepted then too. It would be a good idea fo have the baked goods on paper plates or foil covered cardboard to eliminate the loss of china. The second project is a dance recital being given by the McCullom Lake school of dance on June 18 at the Legion hall. Keep this in mind and come and see how really good our budding ballerinas and tap artists are. The delicious refreshments and gab tests that followed the business session were enjoyed by all.
