SSk' PISTAKEE HIGHLANDS spt" byWanda Dobecki Si Carls Bales' 4 583-R-l and 2895tJ "2 We'll have the report of last night's community association riveting in next week's column lib be sure and read the details then. » The' Monthly Newsletters seem td be a very practical japd popular way to keep the residents of the community informed and interested in what IS; going on. .Your block caplain should have gotten yours Ifo you hy now for January m February. TJ Dues r*rape now being collected for the second half of the year for the community association. -If you are one of the minority .that have not paid your dues and are not a member of the Association now is the time to pay your half year dues. The wonderful job of snow removal have ha$ so far this winter should be reason enough for everyone to do their part in paying their share of the way. The community association is paying for all snow removal and spreading of sand that is bejng done this year in addition to the regular benefits of association membership. ^ Here In the Highlands ©Pat and Ron Jackson were fcfed! to see her brother again, Ronald Ward, after his being in the service so long. Ronald and his wife and two sons are £oing to be staying with the Jacksons for a while and should make for a big happy family with five active boys around the house. d Roy Hayner is still home fcom work after being laid up * seven weeks" with a lung infection. He has been home since before the holidays and we hope he is much better and back to work again soon. Marcia and Dowd had a small group of friends in last Saturday for a friendly little get-together. The group included the Bales, the Dobeckis and the Erbins, among others. 4^ good time was had by all. Bad Break • Shovelling snow can be dangerous even before you get outside to do the shovelling as Hazel Rogde found out last week. She was in the kitchen putting on her boots so she could help her husband shovel snow when she fell and broke her arm. She is taking it easy now with her arm in a cast and will leave the shovelling to her husband for awhile. We hope she recovers fast and so do her friends who miss the delicious pizza she always makes. Down Meadow Lane WaHy and Kay Sielisch attended Wally's aunt's funeral in Chicago last week. Her death left Wally without a living member of hie dad's family. We all send him our belated sympathy. t Karen and Kenny Krumweide are recovering from severe' colds and Kenny's ear infection is healing nicely. Victor Fick-is suffering from a bad cold. Arlene hopes he'll soon be up and his old self again. Thomas Warczak spent a couple hours last Sunday, renailing all the mail boxes on Ann St., that had been accidentally knocked down. Every one in the block is very grateful for his services. Jane Malek was busy last Sunday collecting for the. polio drive. She was happy over the amount donated and hope we make a good showing in the Highlands drive. The Clarks, the Brissens, the Contras. and the Sielischs will be happy to see the end of the snow so they can drive up the hill instead of having to walk. The roacTis snow packed and slippery and most every day they have to trudge up the hill. Oh well, spring isn't too far off. Then you'll have mud instead of snow. I guess that's part of country living. fTeen Club News Basketball was a riot Monday. Final score was 66 to 154 in a game consisting of men and boys on each team. All participated in a game of volley ball before going home. George Lammert seemed to be victimized by the workout as he was unable to go back to work the next couple of days. The new toboggan had a rugged workout last weekend, getting the full treatment on Saturday, afternoon, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. Those, going Sunday found conditions perfect and it seemed the bruised hips and crushed ribs prompted everyone to leave sooner than expected. The rffli team met Saturday and had a class on "Robert's Rules Of Order" to help them with their meetings in the future. They expect to start firing on the range, this month. The atony is furnishing the ammunition* rifles and the range, so all that'is expected of the community is to get them to McHenry on Saturday mornings from 9 to 11. This is a very worth while project, and we would appreciate if some of the parents could offer to take a carload of the boys to McHenry occasionally. If you are going to McHenry during those hours on Saturday, give Don Rockel (phone 679-R-l) a ring and he will arrange for the boys to meet you. The executives of the 'teenclub met Wednesday night and discussed plans for the play. They are going to serve cuptakes, cookies and coffee between the acts. These pastries are -made by the girls of the club and they just melt in your mouth. , During the dress rehearsal, which will be performed before the youngsters of the community, pop and candy will be on the agenda. Reihember the dress rehearsal will be at 2 p.m. The play consists of' three hilarious acts and will be presented at 8 fc.m. All residents are urged to get their tickets when a club member comes to your door as a sell-out is expected and we can't guarantee that there will be seating space if you take a chance on getting them the night of the presentation.
