After spending the past sixteen years in Wonder Lake, whore one of their married daughters still resides, they took a shine to the sunny Estates. Besides Donna, who is the daughter who lives in Wonder Lake with her husband and son, Chuck and Helen have another married daughter, Diane, whose home is in McCullom Lake, and who has three daughters of her own. Although jibe Caley home is still full of lively offspring, it will be less lively by <me, come Jan. 4 when nineteen year old Chuck, Jr., will leave for his first hitch in the service, at Fort Knox. That will leave fifteen year old Harold who attends Mc- Henry high, eleven year old Jimmy who attends Johnsburg school, and four year old Debbie, who is going to Florida after the holidays to visit her grandparents. So, soon the house will be quieter by two, for a while at least. "But then there is always the vim and vigor of grandson number 1 to keep us all on the run, "relates Helen, who has charge of the little fellow for a few hours each afternoon. With all this family to care for, this reporter didn't bother to ask Helen what she does with her leisure hours, nor whether she ever got any. But the Caleys all enjoy their boat in the summer, as well as shimming, and water skiing for the children: Good diversion for Daddy from his regular work of heat and frost insulating. The children also enjoy tobogganing and ice skating at snow and ice time. Welcome to the Estates, Chuck, Helen, and crew. May you enjoy it here Ciib Christmas At the Cub Pack 452 meeting and Christmas party held at Johnsburg school on the 9th, the Weblo graduation promoted Johnny Lakowske to Boy Scouting, along with three other members of this Pack. Awards for Den 5 went to Jimmy Fuqua who received the denner bar and to Stevie Kuntz who received the assistant denner bar. For Den 3 Alan Kennebeck was awarded the assistant denner bar. After the business of the meeting, Santa arrived bringing candy and cheer for all. The boys had earlier made ornaments for the tree that they decorated at this party and then sent it to the Mount Hope Sunday school, along with the canned goods that they brought which will be distributed to the needy, by Mount Hope. Carols rang through the evening to add the finishing touch to a fine Yule gathering. 8-G Luncheon Mrs. Emma Johansen was hostess for a luncheon for her two daughters and two of their daughters on the 11th, for a lovely afternoon of three generations of women. House (iuest The Jesski family was so pleased to have Barbara's mother, Mrs. Vicki David, from Amboy visiting them for a week. It was a lovely change of scene for Mrs. David, who at 78 is an invalid; and who can describe the joy of a mother visiting her daughter's happy home? Wonderful week.

I thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration. On The Shelf Rick Rack to next-door neighbor, Tape: "You're Biased!" Candle Capers Dec. 12 was the big day for Pamela DeFrancisco. Her little birthday guests were Qale McDonald, Cindy Simmons, Rosemarie May, Karen Kennebeck, Monica and Maureen Davis, Brad and Brent Deppmeier,, and Susan Warzala. After the party games, gifts and goodies, each child was sent home with a little book as a "going away" gift, Mrs. Rose Tillich and Grandma and Granpa Schondorf were guests later that night. Pam received many beautiful gifts but is especially thrilled with her new ski suit and her skipper doll. Carol Kennebeck was pleased to have her parents, brother, mother-in-law, and Bud's aunt over on the 10th and was completely surprised when Lu Davis, Mildred Senkerik and Bernice Fry popped in with another lovely birthday cake. Marvelous evening, reports Carol. Then on Sunday, Carol's brother and family from Westchester came out to again celebrate Carol's and Scotty's birthdays. More fun.

"Can't remember when we had such a good time! Steve really had his dancing shoes on!" recounts Lorraine of husband Steve's birthday celebration on the 12th. After dinner at Lou and Pauline Pechan's in Berwyn, the Majors and Pechans were joined by two other couples at the Berwyn Lodge, for an evening of Eddie Howard music that really set them all a-dancing at their finest. When their legs would move no longer (and the Moose closed for the night) they returned to the Pechans for a midnight snack and some sleep. Sunday they visited relatives in Cicero, where Janice had stayed overnight, and then to Woodale for dinner. Full, fun weekend birthdaying. Happy Birthday On the Eve of Christmas to Mrs. Helen Brunhoefer. On Christmas Day to Sol' Kobus. On the 27th to Mary Mann. On the 30th to P. J. Schneider and to eight year old Larry Edelman. Unlike the merchants, it appears that the stork doesn't do much business around Christmastime, if bur residents are representational of the general trend. Nice holiday for him too. But to you who did put the stork to task at this beautiful time of year, have an especially lovely day. Merry Christmas To All When the stockings are hung by the chimney with care, And the gifts all wrapped and placed over there, Relax and think of this toast to you from me: That your fondest desires are under that tree. --Plus blessings of health and happiness from Our Infant Saviour. TRADITIONAL ICE PIE oo&e Pres. Millard Fillmore had the; White House modernized in 1850, and put in the first bath tub and cook stove. The cooks all quit, refusing to cook on anything except an open fireplace. A restaurant seems to be a type of eating place where drugs or liquor are not sold.

Outstanding Student We feel that Pamela Parkhurst's triumph should not be overshadowed by her mother's good news, and for that reason we give her special space. Pamela who has been a superior student throughout her school lifetime, was the ONLY junior to make the A honor roll! Village Board At the last meeting of the president and trustees, all officials were present. President Jake Levesque announced his intentions about the local election in the spring. He said that his name would not appear on the ballot, but would be pleased to continue serving the people in any capacity. In his own words, he said that it has been a won- 885-8191 derful experience in this past decade but felt the people would be happier with a change of leadership. A set of plans for the proposed road work will be requested from our village engineers for the meeting of Jan. 11, 1965 so they may be "let out" for bids. According to road commissioner, Art Stuhlfeier, signs cautioning motorists at the intersections which cross Parkview will be installed in the near future. This is to facilitate the path for the' school buses in the morning and afternoon. Trustee Stuhlfeier mentioned a letter he received from a police official who wished to remain anonymous concerning the merits of chief of police Earl Murray. He was praised as being efficient, courteous, and extremely well versed in his office. This columnist heartily concurs and would like to include the entire department! There will be NO meeting of the village officials on Monday, Dec. 28. because of the holidays and the next will be held Monday, Jan. 11, 1965. Nonegenarian Father Succumbs Elsie Nelson's father, Julius Radtke of Libertyville, died in his home early Wednesday morning. He would have been 94 next February. Mr. Radtke underwent surgery a few months ago which he recovered from beautifully, but the complications of advanced age were too much. His wife survives him. Services were held in Libertyville Friday afternoon with burial in a local cemetery. beef sandwiches, the various salads, and homemade goodies were superb! Petey contrived the notion of a gift for each woman to take home with her and was helped in this department by Emma Pyritz. The gifts were bars of soap, covered with various hues of nylon net and trimmed wfth sequins pearls and pipe cleaners transforming the soap bars into comical fish, lovely swans, and other characters. Tres chic! Games of robber 4ognib" provided a great deal of amusement and at least two women are growling at me over Santa Claus and his reindeer. Carrie Kurth and Ella Benson have the details! While you are at it, ask ^larie McKim about her gem! A short business meeting at the beginning granted a life membership in the organization to Gert Helwig because of being one of the three founders of the club. Prizes went to the following women and some were fortunate enough to be able to take them home: Marge Stacknick, Sally Olsen, Lois Parenti, Grace Kinsey, Edith Brendle, Emma Pyritz, Carrie Kurth, Ella Benson, Betty Reiter, and this reporter. Nursing their wounds because of no prizes were Louise Berquist, Magda Berglund, Elma Nelson, Harriet McNamara, and Marie McKim. Twas a most sociable evening.

A Thousand Pardons We hope are forthcoming from able bodied sailor Ed Stacknick for referring to him as "Butch"! No more of that kid stuff for this young man. Ladies' Soiree Vastly Successful Although the temperatures hovered at the zero mark, the gals attending the Ladies of the Lake Christmas party were mighty comfortable in the Carrie and Frank Kurth recreation room. The Kurths had trimmed the room artfully and it is truly a handsome place in which to entertain. Petey Schmidt was a marvelous hostess and she and Marge Olsen did their job to perfection.

But she loves practical ones, too. And probably the most wanted practical gift of all is an electric dishwasher. Nothing else she can own saves her so many endless hours of drudgery. Come to think of it, how could a gift be more personal, or look prettier to her? With just a flick of a switch a dishwasher washes, rinses, and dries... all automatically. Glasses, dishes, and flatware come out sparkling, without water spots or towel streaks. Everything is washed and rinsed in water hotter than hands ... even gloved hands ... can stand. Then it's dried in pure, clean, electrically heated air that's far more sanitary than any dish towel. You can now get a portable dishwasher, if you like, that does every bit as good a job. Portables need no plumbing connections, and they can be permanently installed in a new kitchen later. You'll be surprised how little it costs to give your wife the happiness that comes with a new electric dishwasher. See the built-in and portable models at your electric appliance dealer's now. And a Merry Christmas to you both. Public Service Company ® ComnumwMltli ttdkm
