Board meeting, 8 p.m. Boy Scout Troop 459 First of all we feel a great big, "We're sorfy" is due to some men whose names somehow were missed in our column last week. From our notes, to the type writer, to the printer, the names were missed and we feel very badly about it because they worked so very, very hard. Hope you'll forgive all of us envolved Frank Bartos, Les Eckhart, Marv George and Bob Matthews, 4we're really sorry. Last Tuesday our meeting was our Indian Dance performance at the V.F.W. home. It was the premiere of three more new dances, namely the Buffalo, Dog and Eagle dances. These dances added to those we have gives us a large variety of dances and we seemed to have made a good impression on the members of the V.F.W. The costumes for the Buffalo and Eagle took over 150 hours to make, they were made by the following mothers, Mrs. Kemp, Mrs. Druml, Mrs. Bartos, Mrs. Becker, Mrs. Ketchum and Mrs. Wagner. They deserve a big pat on the back for all the time and work they did. Women's Club The last meeting of our Women's club turned out to be a most enjoyable evening with Mother's Day being the main theme. Joe Rizzo, Lyda Radish and the rest of the committee did a wonderful job of decorating. They had a beautiful May Pole decorating a table in the middle of the hall and was surrounded with cupcakes and flowers which the ladies took home after the party. A contest was held to discover the oldest grandmother, who turned out to be Ann Herzog and the mother with the most children, which was Delores Rogers. The mother with the youngest baby was Dee Frazier with a 6 months old child and the grandmother with the most grandchildren was Mrs. Thilges, who has 18. Each of these women received lovely prizes. Games were then played. At our business meeting Dee Frazier took office as first vice president, taking over from Barb Meuerer, who is to be commended for a job well done. The rest of the officers remained the same. Vicki Bottari was presented with a beautiful necklace and earrings set for all her work as president. The date for our annual "Smorgasbord" was announced as the day before Father's Day, June 20. We hope everyone will mark their calenders and make plans to come out for this delicious feast. Four new members joined last Thursday and we wish to welcome them into the Club. They are Wanda Stupey, Cookie Howard, Edna Domeres and Sharon Tibbs. Girls Scouts We opened our meeting at Mrs. Dowell's house instead of the Community House. We let the Boy Scouts use it so they could practice longer. We made our Mothers Day presents this week. We had our treat and said good-bye in our Frienship Circle. Scribe, Maria Mecic. Birthday Doings A birthday party to celebrate the fourth birthday of Debbie Krier on the seventh of May was given by Debbie's mother with the following children participating, Bobby Maur, Larry and Susie Loerper, Nicki and Brian DiBlasi, Marty Htendle, Timmy, Nancy and Herbie Kane and Debbie's sister Lori. Games were played and cake, ice cream, candy and pop were served. The Sunday before another birthday party was held for Debbie with relatives coming out for a delicious barbeque chicken dinner. Luckily, the weather was just right for that day. Strolling Through The Park We really are sorry. Last week we listed the wrong Linnane boy as having been Confirmed at St. Mary's. It was Eddie and not Tommy as we stated. Jerry Wagner attended a shower in Holiday Hills for one of her fellow employees. Jerry reports it was quite a shower she drove through to get to the "Shower". The party was held last Friday so we all know what Jerry means. Young Don ny Prazak proved he's quite a fisherman last week, he caught a four pound bass right off the beach. Bet the Prazak family all enjoyed a good fish fry on Friday. Bill Kamp's birthday wasn't forgotten by his better half, Bette or Kay Druml, Dottie Becker and Arlene Bartos. Bill received a most welcome gift while on a business trip to Wisconsin last week from the group. Sure hope Jim Daurio's scheduled surgery for this week proves to be nothing but a huge success. Mother's Day doings at our house were very full. Being remembered by my two older sons, Buddy, who is in the Air Force in Texas and Dave who is in the Marines on Okinawa as well as by Dennis and Kevin made me feel like a queen. We had dinner with my mom and dad, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Oswald, who just became Lakeland Parkers. My sister Blanche, her husband, Ed, and our^five nieces also came out for dinner The Geisheckers call Evanston home. After dinner we ventured out to Wonder Lake with Bette, Bill and the Kamp children for a nice visit with Bette's and Eddie^s mom and dad, Mr. and Mrs. Mike Druml. As full as our day was I'd like to tell both my older boys how very, very much their mom missed them on their first Mother's Day away from the family nest. Dottie, Irv and the Becker children went into the Big City after the crowning of the May Queen services at St. Patrick's church on Sunday. Both Kathy and Kenny took part in the services and then they all went in to Chicago for dinner with Irv's mother and dad. The Meurers travelled first to Ron's folks in May wood where a delicious chicken dinner was had and then they went to Barb's folks in Lombard where the youngsters enjoyed an afternoon of pony rides. Grandma and grandpa Miller raise Shetland ponies and the children really do have a ball. My cute little boy friend, Johnnie, had such a good time he decided to stay for a few days to visit. The Huijiann family spent Mother's Day with Don's folks in the city. They had lots of good food and an enjoyable day.

The actual anniversary date was April 29 but last Saturday night was the big celebration.

Thanks to those members who took time out to gather the violets and scurried around after the right kind of containers. Don't forget the meeting May 14 at the home of Mrs. Ottoson, 7115 Chippewa Drive W. L. Visits from Tennessee Mrs. Alfred W. Huebner, 4509 E. Wonder Lake E>rive, was especially happy on Mother's Day. Her mother, Mrs. Hazel Kurz, of Memphis, Tenn., came up for a short visit. This was the first time they have been together on this "special day" in over 18 years. The family spent the day by attending church and then going out to dinner and afterwards a family get-together at Mr. Huebner's mother's home, who is also a resident of Wonder Lake. A good time was had by all. Friday Night's Black Out Anyone who would have been foolish enough to be flying over Wonder Lake last Friday night would certainly have wondered "Where did everybody go?" It certainly was a "scary" night ( what with the winds howling' and shaking the rafters, and the heavy rains that hit about 8:30 and all the power being knocked out. Isn't it remarkable how we are so accustomed to all our modern conveniences that it never occurs to us. that we need electricity to have these things. How many of you were like us and figured that as long as there were no lights to vy,ork by we may as well turn on the TV or the radio and see what the news was concerning the storm. We just don't realize until we take them one by one that without electricity we are also without water, rferigeration, cooking (in some cases) television, radio (unless you have transistors), clocks and many other things. We are children of progress and used to flipping a switch or pushing a button but when the "juice" is gone out of the switch the whole works falls apart. I don't know just how much damage was done by the windstorm but I did notice that the TV antenna at Christ the King rectory came tumbling down and was lying in a twisted heap on the ground next morning. With all the tornadoes that were dancing around the area that night I think we can consider ourselves very fortunate that all we lost was the convenience of our lgihts and associated comforts for a few hours. I am the world's biggest coward when it comes to wind* storms and for jny money they can just dance around someone elses area like out in the middle of Lake Michigan or down in Texas where they don't notice them. How about you? "Blue Ribbon For Boy Scout Camporee" Wonder Lake Troop 145 did themselves proud at the spring camporee last weekend in Marengo. Forty-one Scouts of the Troop plus the two leaders and two committeemen spent a most active and slightly damp weekend of outdoor sports and competition. The Troop as a whole did a tremendous job and came home with a blue ribbon! All of us are very proud of the effort and the scores which were racked up in each of the categories by the individual patrols. Panther Patrol, Jim Ruggero, patrol leader, rated a blue ribbon with a score of 443 points. Eagle Patrol, Bob Ruggero, patrol leader, blue ribbon with a total of 435 {joints. Beaver Patrol, Bruin McCafferty, patrol leader, blue ribbon, with 399 points. Bear Patrol, Bill Wines, patrol leaedr, a Red Ribbon with 355 points. Fox Patrol, Don Sturm, patrol leader, a Red Ribbon with 348 points. Congratulations, for a job, well done. There were five categories, flag pole raising, tent pitching, trail signs, map symbols, and American heritage. The Campfire, Saturday night, was the scene of many wild and comical skits presented by the patrols. These were "originals" with timely, interesting and current themes, all entertaining and judged in the "American Heritage" category. Sunday started with church services of each denomination, followed by a breakfast and then began the job of breaking camp. By 11:30 many parents began to arrive for the family picnics. All the Boys and the Leaders \re most gratified for the grand turnout Friday evening of the families who drove the boys out and helped set up. As tht grounds were in poor condition, a mile walk was required to reach the site on Sunday an<|; still the families of the Scouts, carrying their dinners, trudge# thru and enjoyed the afternoon^ Thanks to all who borrowed their tents to the Troop and hauled the gear necessary to and from the Camp. The terrific cooperation by all gives us a Troop to be proud of.
