STROLLING THROUGH THE PARK It's so nice to have some news to relate for a change, but find that it starts off with a sour note! The past weekend was a very busy one for the local firedepartment with numerous calls to extinquish prairie fires, se- , veral of which were in the Park. The fields are" very dry right now and it has been extremely windy recently to add to the danger. Residents are asked not to burn trash or anything else until the danger is passed. Sorry about the lecture. Jackie Creutz had a busy day • last Wednesday ending with a trip to the Chicago Stadium where she and Ron attended a Blackhawk game which was won by our team in a glorious manner.

Durihg the day, Jackie and Tommie along with Judy and Laurie Widhalm and Barbara Humann were guests of Lee and Robin Bujak who supplied them all with tickets to Bozo's Cir- -cus. The kids had a great time seeing their favorite actors in person and the Moms had a pretty good time too. They sure showed up great on the T.V. SCREEN. Get well wishes to Ruth Mc- Mahon who is a patient at Harvard hospital and to Mary Murphy who is a patient at McHenry hospital. I hope that both these gals will be well enough to return home by the time this appears in the paper.

This service is a prelude to the Lenten Season which begins next Wednesday, Feb. 28, Ash Wednesday. It would be a great disappointment for the youth to have worked hard to present this service and then have a poor response from the members. The season of Lent begins this Wednesday, Feb. 28 with Ash Wednesday Service of Holy Communion. The service will begin at 7:30 p.m. JPlan now to set aside this hour each Wednesday evening at 7:30 to meditate and contemplate the meaning of Lent and Easter in your life. With more and more "outside" demands upon your life, it is absolutely necessary to. spend time today in 'spiritual' preparation for the blessed event of Easter.
