Her chit-chat was top-notch, as always, and we promise to have her do a euest column from time to time, if she is agreeable. Sorry we are to report that last week and the w£k beginning of this one. Elma was laid un with a severe case of flu and required the services of a physician. Here's hoping that by now, her trou^ bles are in the past. Thanks again. Elma! Quotes From the Village Board At the last meeting of the vUjgge council, Art Stuhlfeier wHs appointed acting chairman in the absence of president J. R. Levesaue. They met oh Monday, Oct. 24, in the beachhouse. Don Parenti, road commissioner, reported that road grading has been done and gate 1 has been repaired. Patching on roads has been done with the exception of the bePih area. Discussion followed on several projects, and the usual reports were made. Hie next meeting will be v held- on Monday, Nov. 14 at 8 p.m. in the beachhouse. "Cool Ghoul Patties" The Cullom-Knoll festivities last Saturday was a huge success as far as social activities go, but no financial gain for the club! Those participating, (and the place was packed) were co-operative with almost half of the f6lks showing up in costume. There were many clever outfits, but the prizes were awarded to a husband and wife team. They were Mr. and Mrs. Art Laade -- "sailor boy in Bermudas" and "Raggedy- Ann" respectively. Seven judges did the choosing and all the c o n t e s t a n t s marched around until winners were selected. Excellent music for dancing added to the gaiety. Members of the Ladies of the Lake held their krazy hat party on Thursday, Oct. 27, with Betty Poledna and Ann Zahn walking off with the honors. Neither woman had designed her own chapeau but had borrowed same for t He. "occasion. Betty was elite with a Maypole and dancers adorning the top of her pate, while Ann's "skypiece" was a huge pair of rubber feet stuffed -- and surrounded by tulips. "Robber" games kept the wcmen amused for some time with the last winners keeping" the loot. Hunger panes were eliminated when Alice Gustafson, Elsie Nelson, and Ethel Fox served their "tasty pastry", including doughnuts and cake -- and in the liquid department, plenty of hot java and cider were consumed. Miss Sandy Senter was "Little Bo-Peep" as she greeted guests for her Halloween party at her home -- assisted by mommy Wanda. The neighborhood kiddies, all in costume, were treated to an "operation on a skeleton". They heard his bones rattle, felt his eyeballs, and also some of his insides which were "removed". All done with clothespins, pealed grapes, and cooked spaghetti floating in water. Ugh! They LOVED it! Special treats prepared for the occasion were consumed with gusto. Last, but not least, was the 'Teen Club hayride, climaxed by a wiener roast at the beach. The rack was followed by the police squad car, to eliminate any chance of accidents, and the beach party was well chaperoned. All in all, last Saturday night was a festive one for all age groups, and no unfortunate mishaps occurred! Cradle Capers The stork was busy in <jur neck of the woods" last week. Not to be outdone by the Shah of Iran were Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Kanak, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Michels, and Mr. and Mrs. Tony Hocin. All had BOYS, of course! Kent Jerome Kanak is the first grandson for Mrs. Elmer Kanak whose summer cottage is located at 308 Spring Road (on the top of the hill). The little guy, weighing a bantam weight of 6 lbs. 6 ozs. made his appearance at St. Elizabeth's in Chicago on Oct 19, 2!4 years to the day of his mom and dad's wedding date. It is their first child. Robert John Michels evens the score a bit for the Michels* tribe, by joining twin brothers, Jim and Jeff, in the masculine department. Tipping the scales at fullback weight--10 lbs., 13 ozs., he was born at Memorial hospital for McHenry County on Tuesday, Oct. 25. Baby siting is no problem in this household with i sisters, Judy, Carol. Marianne, and Diane, ready and willing to cater to every little "peep"! Mom and son resumed residence at home last Saturday. No lightweight this guy, Timothy Hocin; made an even ten children for the Hocins, with nine surviving. The scales hit the 9 lbs., 5% oz. mark on Wednesday, Oct. 26, at Harvard hospital for 1*11 Tim. Brothers and sisters (one married) of all ages are on hand to administer to the needs of the latest member of the clan. Heartiest congratulations to three happy families! Public Parties for Larger Quarters Berenice and Whitey's is the scene of the Cullom-Knoll building fund party on Saturday, Nov. 5, and the public is invited. Games, prizes, and refreshments should fill the bill on the entertainment end of things. The Polednas will be your hosts, of course. Friday, Nov. 11, McDonald's will open their doors to the public for another Cullom- Knoll party and again, everyone is invited. Almost 8,009 Miles in {% Days And not a ' single accident was sighted. We covered a lot of territory in our combination business and pleasure trip, and every minute was an unforgettable experience. We tarried in Lowell, Mass., to visit with "Go." with * JOHN G.

Jake's sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Thurlow, and his brother and family, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Leveque (without the sY) and their three adorable Children. We included fast stops to visit other friends made during Jake's youth and our three years of married life, when we resided in the east. We hit the Maine tollway and headed for the residence of World War n buddies, Mr. and Mrs. J. Vincent Kirschner, owners of a fabulous sausage packing plant in that city. (So sony that they don't ship out of the state!) When four tars" get together the jargon flies! Both of us met our husbands, courtesy of Uncle' Sam! We tossed our bags together and hit the interior of the state, and passed many vehicles homeward bound, laden with deer! Through a downpour we entered the province of Quebec and were on foreign soil. An outstanding feature of Quebec is the number of small c o m m u n i t i e s ( a l m o s t h o v e l like in appearance) surrounding a beautiful church, around which the entire population revolved All radio and TV programs were in French. High school did not prepare me adequately for this! Hubby Jake fared much better since he was raised on a diet of this language. Quebec city was a thrill to view and we had lunch at the C h a t e a u - F r o n t e n a c . Then i t was down the St. Lawrence River, along a very scenic route, on to Lake Ontario and the province of Ontario. We arrived in Windsor a mere 24 hours after the tragic blast in the department Crossing the huge bridge, we altered the city of Detroit, and once more were on American soil! No thrill can compare with lhat! A short visit with another Navy family. Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Capps in South Bend, put us almost at our door. On the Indiana tollway just outside of Chicago, we sighted our first and only deer! Right in the midst of civilization! We arrived home on Thursday morning to find children and home under complete control. courtesy of Betty and Nick Tabor. Betty had her hands full, but managed in spite of a harrowing experience. The Tabors' newly married daughter and husband were involved in an auto accident in which the car was smashed. Diane s uff f e r e d bruised legs, and we hope that lab tests for both of them, will show no others. It was a grand and glorious journey and one which will give warm feelings each time we review the separate experiences; Turkey Talk Wilma Zody and Alice Gust-\ afson are accepting donations for tho Ladies of the Lake feather party on Nov. 19.
