Just because the flowers are gone is no reason to allow dogs to start roaming-- 1he majority ol" our residents take great pride and care in their yards the year around. By some strange coincidence the dogs pick on the most cared for yards. So please, dog owners, keep your dogs- on their leashes in their own yards. Organized Confusion A birthday party to celebrate my son's fourth birthday was given by yours truly on Nov. 1.1. He had fifteen guests in attendance--to name them all would take quite a bit of space, of which I have little here and less in my front room--especially with fifteen kids in it. These kids are all so well adjusted they didn't mind playing the games in the front room, they never even noticed the walls elbsing in (but I did) --they didn't even mind eating their ice cream in separate rooms. (I don't think that they knew half of the party was missing.) There was so much togetherness and fun they were hesitant to leave--and don't think that didn't scare me! They all seejned to have a good time. I hope so. I had just as much fun as they did. Cub Scouts On Nov. 28 the Cub Scouts of Pack 452 will attend q, roller skating party. The plans for the Cub Christmas party are in full swing. It will take place at Johnsburg school on Dec. 8, at 7:30 p.m. Admission will be a can of food which in the Scout tradition will be given to the needy.

WITNESSES PLAN FOR THREE DAYS OF BIBLE STUDY Ministers from sixteen congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses in Northern Illinois met recently to make plans for three days of Bible study meetings 1o be. held in Palatine Dec. 24 to 26. Dominick Fontana, local- presiding minister, told the McHenry Plaindealer this week that more than 1,500 ministers are expected to attend the three-day seminar. The Saturday meeting was called for the purpose of organizing the twenty- two convention departments needed to serve the deleg&tes, providing the food, housing, program of instruction, and the many other materials and services that will be required. A highlight of the. assembly of ministers will be a public talk by Angelo Minera, a special traveling representative of the Watchtower Bible and Tract society, sponsors of the convention. Mr. Minera's subject, Dominick Fontana said, will be, "What Does the Resurrection of the Dead Mean for You and Yours?" Jehovah's Witnesses all over the world have three conventions each year. Two of these are held locally and the third is usually in larger cities most accessible to surrounding states and countries. BRAKE MODERATION Drivers should practice moderation in all things, including their brakes. The Institute For SafetfCLiving says never apply full brakes on a slippery surface or what appears to be one. Alternately press and release the brake peddle to help maintain steering control while slowing the car. Even on dry surfaces, make it a practice to stop moderately, not suddenly.
