Cob Scout* Viiit (Mi Polks Home Our Cub Scouts spent their day off from school last week to spread joy to others. About twenty-five Cub Scouts and four mothers went to the Old People's Home in Woodstock. The boys made valentine place mats and napkins to match, and distributed them along with candy from the Holiday Hills Woman's club and cookies made by the Scouts' mothers. They all enjoyed their visit with the wonderful old folks, singing songs with them and for them. Transportation was provided by Jean Baird, Marge Connell, Kay McWilliams and Jean Stoddard. Thursday, February 21, 1963 flnnnyrid* fititii ! j GIRL FORESTERS CREATE FANTASTIC BATS FOR MEETING Joan Walrzynsld 885-8105 £• ;*t)XG THOSE CRAZY HATS!! was the most fitting expression tat the hat creations the girls had at the Juvenile Girl Forester meeting on the evening of Feb. 11. They were both clever and imaginative. Nobody envied the two judges; I'm sure their decisions were hard to make. They had to dhoose from such ideas as a "Blue Lagoon" complete with live guppy fish; a "Time on My Hands" theme consisting of an alarm clock on a pair of gloves; a miniature yard complete "with flowers ttfta a bird hou&; »a gigantic Paris creation; Barbie and Ken dancing on a record; etc. etc. Oh, 1 could go on all night, but I'd best tell you the winners. In the eighth grode and up group the winning hat was a Cupid creation; in the sixth and seventh grade group the Winner was a straw covered box forming a nest in which perched a mechanical owl; fourth grade and younger group had a winner in the Dr. Ben Casey patient, bed and all. The girls deserve a lot of praise for their ideas, creations and all the time and work put into their hatfe. It was truly a job vfell done. such.' < s, Mr. * Back In MoHfasty Our g6od neighbor, Chet Blinker, is back in McHenry hospital. After undergoing extensive tests, etc., in Wesley Memorial hospital in Chicago, it was decided that heart surgtry would not help, therefore hi was released from their care and his wife, June, had him brought back to our local hospital where he will stay for awhile. Remember Chet with a card, or perhaps a note, maybe a phone call or even a visit, won't you? It's no fun lying in a hospital bed with nothing much to do but read, or watch television. Traveling Lady Mrs. Emma Olson of Mayfair Drive has just returned from a one month stay with her niece, Mrs. Eugene Opsal, in Mount Hope, Wis. Her niece and her husband brought her home. Feb. 10, and stayed to have dinner with her that day. Geimnlrao!!! v That's Harvey Garner's password these days. Harv now belongs to a Sky-diving club entitled "Land of Lincoln Skydivers. They are affiliated with the Parachute Club of America. Harv and his fellow club members spend their weekends giving demonstrations and practicing their jumps. There will be a demonstration in Chicago on March 23, present* ed by HaiVs club, if you are interested in-seeing the fellows ndo their stuff.". When I asked Harv if he had been in the Paratroopers during the war he said no, but he was in Sea and Air Rescue, so I guess this is what got him slatted. Since they pack their own chutes, I imagine they are pretty careful packers; Happy landings, Harv! • Crackin' Up! That's m4! There were « couple of items of news I over looked (OVERLOOKED?!) last week. I forgot the news of our two Girl Scout trocps (j^ljich follows this item! as well as the results of the bi-monthly meeting of the Sunnysidc Estates Home Owners Assoca tipn, Inc. First on the agenda of the association was the election of director to replace Jim Stevens, who felt he was unable to ful- Pete's Auto Tips by Harry Peters ON STARTS AND STOPS Cold car engine starts wear it out faster than any other wear. A 50,000 mile engine with reasonably long trips can be in much better condition than a 25,000 mile one that has short trips and many cold starts. So, drive the old bus easy while its warming-up. And when you get home, don't let it stand outside, and later drive it into the garage. Drive right in and save another cold Start and needless wear. That stop at PETE'S SINCLAIR at 4416 W. Rt. 120, Lakeland Park, for oil and lube services, winter treated gasoline and important tuneups will keep your car in good* starting condition, too. See us *• - - / - • ' 4 . ; Ask About Our Wee Wild! o r Lobe i Service plan. our new residents, Leahy of Mayfair Drive, was the choice. Therefore our current board members are as follows: Harold Palmer, president of the board; Ray Bieschke, Jack kelso, James Leahy, Jerry Olson, Herb Rose and Stan Walezynski. Shirley Simmons is our recording secretary and Fran Fuqua is our treasurer These are the people you have selected by your vote to govern our small community; however without your help and cooperation, there isn't much they can do. For instance, where were all of you the night of the meeting? I know I didn't get it in the paper, but the sign was hanging at both entrance ways. How about making it a point to go to the meetings. If the board members can give hours and hours of their time ynri efforts, the least you can do is see to it that one member from each family attends the meeting. They only occur once every two months and they only last on an average of two hours. Is this really too much time to give for the benefit of your own community? Next on the agenda, Harold Palmer informed us that the mail box will be placed at the grocery store, just as soon as they are able to pour the concrete, which means, after a good thaw. This will be for the deposit of mail. However, we were informed, that if the box isn't used enough to warrant a nightly pick-up it will be removed. There were a number of other things brought up and discussed, the main one being the care and maintenance of our roads. Jerry Olsen, chairman of the road committee, informed the people that there will be a proposal presented at the April meeting. I'll remind you in advance of the date so you can be sure to attend, hear the proposal and cast your vote. After the completion of all eld and new business, Harold Palmer presented our out.-going president, Jerry Olsen, with a gift from the association in appreciation for his tireless efforts and many accomplishments during his term of office. Adjournment of the meeting was followed by cake, donated by Katherine Bute and Dorothy Bierchen. Scout News 1 Troop 88 spent their meeting two weeks ago doing a nupiber of different things. They began with a flag ceremony, followed tgy a business meeting, and Uniform inspection. This was followed by drama presentation, the girls making the presentations were fulfilling their Literature and dramatic jequirements for their second class rahk. This was followed by a session of knot tying and I'm proud to say the instructors were five girls from our troop 295. You might say we killed two birds with one stone, since the girls in Troop 88 were doing it as a second class requirement and the girls of Troop $&5 were doing it as a first class requirement. The knotting session, was followed by a polka dance in which our girls were invited to join. I can honestly say that the time spent together was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Cookie hostesses ft>r this meeting were Pauline Schneider and Melissa Montalbano. Troop 88 spent last week's meeting in two places. First they had their business meeting and their treat at the school, which is their regular meeting place and then the girls were transported to Crystal Lake vyhere they spent the remainder of their lengthened meeting skating and sledding. Their scout leader, Alice Bieschke, assures me they arrived home cold, but happy. Cookie hostess was Melody Ruth. Troop 295 spent their meeting two weeks ago preparing for their Valentine dance party. They planned their menu and made favors, etc. Treat hostess for that meeting was Carla Martin, who brought cake to celebrate her birthday. , Last week's meeting was held at the Walezynski, residence and consisted of lunch, followed by a short business meeting. Then the girls were "on their own" more or less, dancing to their hearts' content. The music was "way out" and the dancing even more so. Our little Paul even got downstairs to join in with the twisting I think all the girls had a good time and this week we will be ready to get back to work again. On Wednesday evening, Feb. 13, . I attended an orientation meeting for Scout leaders at the home of our neighborhood chairman, Mrs. Jean Weyland. There were ten of us who were able to attfend and the evening was both enjoyable and informative. our residents cm the sick fet John Fiedler was home sjck with the flu or virus bug; little Ronnie Fuqua was quite ill; and Helen and Kathy Farley were awful sick this past week, too. Gee, there is so very much sickness going around, do try and take care of yourselves, everyone; and those of you who are sick, take it real easy and get well soon! True To Her Word Another letter was received in the neighborhood this week from the Kimbros "Mama" promised she'd write often and she's done just that. Mfir and George Kropf received the letter this time, but we neighbors always pass it around for reading and sharing and that way no one is left out. All the news received was good news. Their weather has been both warm and cold. They are both well and sound happy. They '•send their regards to everyone. Sick List Tijri sowy to report that there have been a good number ot Happy Occasions Happy birthday today to Kasey Anderson (a cute little gal) who is seven years old today and to little Johnny Kanter, who is four years old today.
