VACATIONING FOLKS Mrs. Sarah Oeffling and her children spent five days in Battle Creek, Mich, as guests of her sister. The Oeffling children enjoyed all the sights their aunt lined up for them to see. Joe and Alvina Miller, along with their son, Jim, his wife and their two youngsters returned last weekend from a week's fishing trip to Potato Lake. The fishing was quite good but a "damper" was put on the vacation almost from the start. Alvina slipped and fell, breaking her ankle shortly after arriving at their destina- EVA FREUND tion. She received medical aid there and was able to finish out the week hobbling around on crutches. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Hiller were some more of our recent fishermen. They spent their time at Eagle River. The Joe Huemanns, the John Huemanns and the Pete Smiths all headed for Bloomer, Wis., where they did some fancy fishing. Mrs. Frank Oeffling and her three children, Frank, 10, Larry, 8, and Sally Jo, 4, returned from a three week train trip to N. Hollywood, Calif. The Oefflings covered over 5,000 miles cm their vacation. They were guests of her sister and family, the Joe Passananies. They were taken all over Hollywood and shown the various points of interest. They viewed many of the movie stars' homes. Mr. Passanante was set man for Universal Studios and for the past three years has been with 20th. Century Fox studios. While there they saw an actual television taping of two shows that will be seen in July on the Hollywood Squares. They were thrilled to see nine celebrities in person during this taping session. Judy's sister, Joan, was also able to get tickets for the Joey Bishop show. The children enjoyed a full day at Disneyland in Anaheim, which was one of the highlights of their trip. The famous Graumans Chinese theater, where movie stars imprint their feet and hands, and the San Fernando Mission were memorable trips, too. A four day camping trip took them to San Diego to visit a cousin who is a first class nuclear submarine seaman. Also, the young Oefflings tried their hand, or should I say feet, at surfing along the beaches there. A beautiful scenic two day" trip through the Anza Berrego Desert and the Palomar Mountains was appreciated as was the view of the valley from Inspiration Point, high in the mountains. Sir. and Mrs. Passanante treated the Oefflings to a sur- . prise visit and a few hours shopping in Tijuana, Mexico. A sight for all of them to remember. Outside of their Mexican and other souveniers, the children brought home treasured rocks from the desert and shells from the Pacific Ocean. Husband and father, Frank, was most happy to have his family home. After "batching" it for three weeks, I imagine they were a welcomed sight.
