PLAINDEALER-FR1DAV, JANUARY 29, 1971 Lakeland Park Kay Druml 385-0854 Local Youth Has Audience With Pope Paul The Paul Schwegel family on Clearview was just recovering from visits of Paul and Pam over the holidays when they re­ ceived a copy of a letter sent to the Vatican by the Bishop of Gary, Ind., Andrew G. Grut- ka. His Eminence requested an audience with the Pope for Paul, Jr., who is a third year student at Loyola Campus in Rome. Young Paul resumed his studies on Jan. 18 after a hol­ iday visit with his family here and on the morning of Jan. 20 he was to have had a private audience with the Pope. Paul called his parents from Rome to wish them a "Happy Anni­ versary"- and to tell them of his coming honor. Paul's au­ dience was to have been at 10 a.m., Rome time and at 4 a.m., our time. Joan was a very, very thrilled mother when she called to tell me and promised mil details when they receive young Paul's tapes telling them of his audience. Pm very anxious to hear from Joan and am very happy for the Schwegel family. Paul has had the thrill of a life time at a very young age. Pam sent her parents a cable­ gram from London, England, wishing them a wonderful an­ niversary. Pam will be return­ ing to her studies at Midland college in Freemont, Neb., af­ ter a month of touring Europe. Joan and Paul will always re­ member this anniversary.

Chairman --Jo Rizzo" LAKELAND MERRY MAKERS 4-H CLUB "Many people think 4-H is basically for animals, but they couldn't be more inaccurate. 4-H has a composite of projects, sewing, , baking, woodwork, ett&m&tyi arts and crafts and automobile care are just some of the projects besides beef, dairy, sheep and rabbits. If you would like to hear more about the various projects and our ac­ tivities contact our leader, Mrs. Harris (815) 1-459-6257; presi­ dent, Kelvin Schultz, 385-6208 or vice-president, Joanne Har- rer 385-6299.

Treasure^ Sue Cable gave the treasur­ er's report. The one committee report on Share-the-Fun was given by June Harrer, feder­ ation report given by Kelvin Schultz. Our old business contained the Christmas party, and ice skating party. On Dec. 20 our members went caroling at the Pistakee Bay Retreat Home. We had a party afterwards at the Community House. The ice skating party was on Dec. 29 at 1 p.m. Soipe played hockey while others enjoyed just skating around. New business was Share-the- Fun.

Two demonstrations were given, one by Kelvin Schultz and one by Colleeen Godina. Kerry Schultz motioned to ad­ journ the meeting, seconded by Dianne Muskovin.

COMMUNITY HOUSE SCHEDULE ' All reservations and cancel­ lations for the community house must be made with Jo Rizzo at 385-2728. Friday, Jan. 29, Web- Holiday Hills Inez Young 385-4672 Urge Children Use Caution Near School Buses Eight year old Tommy Novak, son of Erna and Mike Novak, was injured in a school bus accident at Hickory and Oak on Tuesday, Jan. 19. Rushed to McHenry hospital by the Johns- burg Rescue Squad, he under­ went surgery for internal injur­ ies. He also sustained a brok­ en hip, a broken leg and other injuries which will keep him hospitalized over an extended period of time. His condition is listed as satisfactory. Although a driver is supposed to be in complete control at all times, this becomes in­ creasingly difficult on icy roads. Boarding and deaprting from a bus is dangerous un­ der the best of conditions. The importance of staying a safe distance from thg roads cannot be too strongly impressed on children. A further WARNING to the small group of boys and girls who have been hanging on to the back bumper of the bus to slide on the ice, a practice commonly known to the children as "skit- ching". This is a tragic thing that has happened to Tommy - but he will recover and go on with his life. A child hanging on to the back bumper, who is not seen by the bus driver, could lose his life. Don't play games with your life around school buses. Cheery "Hurry and Get Well" wishes go to Tommy, and if any of you would like to make his convalescence more cheer­ ful, he really enjoys receiving cards. His room number is 323. CONDOLENCES Sincere sympathy is extended to Abbie Emerson and her fem- ily on the loss -of her sister and brother-in-law. Mr. and Mrs. J. Bailey were killed in the crash of a private plane on Saturday, Jan. 23. H.H.P.O.A. « Friday, Janj 29, the Holiday Hills Property Owner's Asso­ ciation will hold its meeting at the home of John Hale.

Route 12 IN CLOSING Almost 10 years ago I took over this column when Rita Oleyar and family moved to Cal­ ifornia in 1961. Over the last six months, due to increased personal responsibilities, I have found that I am unable to do the job the way it should be done and you have been left without any column at all. My apologies for letting you down, and so that it doesn't happen again, Bonnie Kellen has agreed to take over the task of writ­ ing the news from Holiday Hills. She's capable, charming, very easy to talk to and will be pleased to have you call her with any news you have. Please make her job easier by getting the news to her. , i My thanks to all of you for the cooperation given to me through the years and for all the pleasant memories I have as a result of my experiences as a correspondent. My sincere gratitude is also extended to the staff at the Plaindealer of­ fice (especially Marie Yegge) who have been so pleasant to work with and made the "week­ ly trips" a pleasure. Never start your car or snow blower in an enclosed garage. Carbon monoxide poisoning can be the fatal result. LICENSE SERVICE Secretary of State John W. Lewis has announced additional working hours for sale of 1971 motor vehicle license plates over the counter at two locations in Springfield and three in Chi­ cago. The over-the-counter outlets of the Secretary of State's office will be open all day Saturday, Jan. 30; Saturday, Feb. 6; Saturday, Feb. 13, and Monday, Feb. 15. They will be closed, however, on Monday, Feb. 1, the date on which the state marks Lincoln's birthday. The deadline for having the new plates mounted on the vehicles, not merely applied for, is mid­ night Monday, Feb. 15. ADMISSION DEADLINE Deadline for admissions to Northern Illinois university for fall 1971 is now anticipated to be mid-February. High school students who want to apply to Northern will be required to send an advance deposit of $50 with their application. The de­ posit is non-refundable. The deposit is required of all new students on the theory that it will permit better planning of classroom and housing space, and will increase earlier "in­ tentions" to enter NIU. Pros­ pective freshmen who miss the February cut-off date can be placed on a waiting list. As vacancies occur, the eligible students for the list will be offered a place in the fall class. Those on the waiting list would be notified in mid-April.
