This was followed by refreshments. Then as a birthday treat, Cathy got to choose where she wanted to eat dinner. After that, they returned home for dessert of birthday cake. Sounds like a real fun day. Day In The City The Walczynski family, too, attended a Christmas party for the children, which was held at Lane Tech auditorium. We also saw a fine stage show, enjoyed singing carols to the organ music and then each child received his gift and a treats We then decided to take advantage of being in Chicago by visiting some of my relatives, so we dropped in on three different ones for a holiday visit. We arrived home tired but happy.

Her young guests included, Monica and Maureen Davis, Gail McDonald; Karen Kennebeck; LuAnn, Linda and LaDonna Muleski. Kathy Davis was unable to attend. The girls played many games arid received prizes. They then sat down to eat a lovely lunch of hot dogs, potato chips, milk, cake and ice cream. Naturally, there was candy for every- £one as well. The young ladies all had a fine time. More Parties Cathy Wegner celebrated her birthday (Dec. 20) a little early.

Front St. 385-0811 Cub Scouts Johnny Lakowske has transferred from Den 4 to Den 1, whose den mothers are Chris William and Betty Lehman. They also meet on Tuesday evening .and this week's meeting was spent (after some game playing outside in the unusual fine weather) making and decorating a styrofoam tree with suckers. The boys then practiced carolling for their trip to carol at the hospital, where Johnny will play his accordion. Bet it will sound just lovely. Girl Scouts Troop 295 held its last meeting making arrangements for their carolling party, their Christmas party and their trip to the orphanage. Troop 88 The girls of troop 88 held their Christmas party this week, too. They combined a good nunber of important things into one big affairs beginning at 4:30 and lasting until 8 p.m. First: the girls went carolling around the Johnsburg area for an hour. Then they returned to the meeting place where they said their grace and had a pot-luck dinner. Mrs. Kern baked a large snowman cake which they used for a centerpiece and then! quite by surprise, Mi's. Ka ratens brought a lovely centerpiece she had made, plus a number of other little extras which truly added to the festive occasion. Next, eleven of the girls (as a means of working toward their next rank) put on a skit cal'ed "Tale of a Christmas Carol." This was followed by -the investiture of seven girls and the Fly-up of fourteen other, as well as four girls receiving one badge which they had HAPPY '63 TIMELY WISHES TO EVERYONE May you have the happiest time in the year ahead!

Just as they finished these ceremonies, In walked Santa Claus, whom they had invited, by letter, to attend. He had a few words for the girls and then passed out the gifts to everyone. Being the busy soul that he is, Santa had to leave right after that, so the girls played a few games and then closed the evening with a goodnight circle. Sick List Guess what the Radtke family ha9 at their 'house this Christmas? Four cases of the mumps! Oh, boy! Now that Lauri is just about over it. Terri, Robin, Jeff and Linda though. They could have gotten 'em one at a time. I know one at a time. I know one family that will have a nice "at home" Christmas this year. Scouts Carolling As I told you last week our scouts would be out carolling. What I didn't tell you, so as not to spoil the surprise, was that they planned on making seventeen stops where Santa would deliver a small gift to the retired people in our community. The girls from Troop 295 and the boys from Troop 144 did a truly fine job, with not one rehearsal to put them in tune. The adults who accompanied them had fun just being out with them. We were well received at every home and this morning I've already received a phone call asking me to piease put something in the paper about how pleased they were by being so remembered. The weather was just cold enough to carry the voices nicely and when all the stops had been made, we all returned to our house where Stan had hot chocolate^ready and waiting for us. I'm really proud to belong to our Scput organization. More Tonight One of Judy's classmates. Diane Jenkins from Pistakee Highlands has invited all twenty-two of the girls in her c'ass at St. John's to meet at her house for a carolling party. So, there'll be some lucky folks in that area to hear the girls sing out with their lovely voices. News From The South The Kimbros have been wonderful about writing. The very first week gone, they wrote a nice letter to Mr. and "Mi's. Sabby telling them of the sort of trip they had on they way down. This past week the Jerry Olsens received a post card, as did wo. telling us bits of news about their new home. They "sound happy and content, so we naturally, are happy for them. They send their very best regards to all their friends and neighbors. Chop Chop Chop That's what Alice Biecske did! She cut Tammy's hair for the very first time in her little three and a half year long life. Being a mother (sentimental fools that we mothers are) she had to cry a little over it. Everyone thinks Tammy looks real darling. Home For Christmas I understand -that • Wally Berg is home from service. He was due to be discharged last year, but due to the critical situation in the country, his tour of duty was extended another year. Lots of luck to you, Wally, in all your ventures in civilian life. McHENRY CAB Cabs Not Operating New Year's Day Bullies Say Home Fve been told that on one occasion when the Pabners were not at home some of the bigger boys were bullying the smaller ones on the skating pond. Now hear this! The Palmers have given much time and trouble to see to it that there is an ice skating pond each year, where all the residents and their guests are welcome. However, if it can't be shared decently, or if we have to have a guard staked out there at all times, there just won't be a pond for you kids to enjoy. This is the one and only instance I know of this year. Let's make it last! Happy Occasion* It wasn't until I was checking birthdays during the week that I learned I had overlooked a young lady on Dec. 27.

Schneider chalks up another year and on Dec. 31 Jean Gehrke and John Barrar share the day. On Jan. 2, the first birthday of the new year belongs to Matthew O'Brien who will be four years old.

Signing Off Well, the column went quic* as a wink this week. Funny, isn't it? You'd think that the more news there is the harder to write, but it works the other way around. This morning I received the surprise of my life, when I went to pick up the mail. There was a package addressed to me from the Plaindealer. When I opened it, there was a Christmas present, almost too prettily wrapped to open. But being the curious soul that I am. I did open it and found to my pleasure a lovely bottle of the finest perfume. Being the sort of reporter I am, I feel that I should be giving them a gilt for putting up with me all year. But I am grateful for their thought fulness. And now may I take a moment to wish each and -everyone of you the finest of new years, filled with good health and happiness. Happy New Year! oratloia that brighten the homes. As always, Bill Exline's tree can be seen for miles. We don't need street lights during the holidays, the decorations light the streets.
