Mary Dobbins was presented with the lovely centerpiece as a token from us for all the work she's done in her role as president of the club. A most enjoyable time was had by all of the club members who attended this year's party. BOARD MEETING The board members of the Lakeland Park Property Owners Association held a meeting in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Les Eckhart, Wednesday, Dec. 5. From what I heard they wish the meeting could be held there all the time because of the beverages and delicious cake Nedra served. HOLIDAY GATHERING! Things were swinging at the Worth residence last Saturday night as Jerry and Elaine held a pre-Christmas party to welcome the holiday season. Christmas cheer was plentiful and tasty snacks were served. The guests particularly en­ joyed the games and the evening was a fun one for everyone! Jerry and Elaine's guests included Jerry and Penny Treadwell, Lee and Mary Henson, John and Molly Steuber, Jim and Sharon Boger and Steve and me! It's amazing little Stephanie and Jenny slept through all the excitement!

FEELING BETTER Am happy to report that Mrs. Carol Chapman is home from the hospital and feeling better following her recent surgery. DOGS. ..AGAIN! Looked out my back door Sunday morning to see dog paw prints in the new snow up on our porch and garbage all around. Looked out my back door Sunday morning to see dog paw prints in the new snow up on our porch and garbage all around. Seems some hungry pet is having fun knocking over garbage. It's not only we who have this problem. Some folks are so bothered by dogs run­ ning loose that they can't tie their own pets out. Something must be done about this problem and I suggest we phone the police each time we are troubled by a stray pet. Perhaps when these owners are confronted by the police they will try harder to keep their pets secured properly! I'M SORRY! Owe Don and Joanne Gilbert an apology as part of their "family of the week" was inadvertently left behind, that is to say in my desk drawer. Don and Joanne enjoy bowling with the Lakeland Park fun league and Joanne also bowls in a morning league and plays volleyball once a week. Though bowling is their favorite sport, Joanne says they enjoy all types of sports and family activities. STILL HOSPITALIZED Little nine-year-old Jimmy Chapman is still confined to Ridgeway hospital in Chicago and would love to receive mail from his many young friends and classmates.

McHENRY, ILL. sure that the person to whom you are giving a live gift really wants a pet and is able to take care of it. The working relative who lives alone, an elderly person, or the mother of small children may have remarked that it would be nice to have a pet without having really given it much thought. The daily care of an animal may be a terrible chore for some people, and both they and the pet will suffer (Don't forget, it's much too coid out in December for a young animal, and he must be kept in until spring. Outside of your family, it's best to let people make their own decision about owning an animal, and to allow them to choose their own. Even in the immediate family, it can be an error to give a pet. I've known husbands who "surprised" their wives with puppies or kittens - with anything but delighted response. I don't want to discourage anyone from giving pets as gifts, but I do want to urge caution and judgment. Don't let the excitement of choosing a gift animal cause you to be careless. For a child, a pet who gets ill or has to be given away after the holiday is over, is a lot worse than no pet at all.

The "orphanage act", sponsored by the Office of the .Superintendent of Public In­ struction, will mean more state funds for those districts where handicapped foster children are placed by state agencies to take advantage of greater educational op­ portunities than their home school districts offer. About 1,900 handicapped foster children in the state have been placed in districts outside their home districts. About 900 are clients of Child and Family Services, and about 1,000 of the Department of Mental Health. The new law provides for full state reimbursement, based on the actual cost of the special education programs, to the districts serving these children. Previously, reimbursement was limited to average daily attendance apportionments. Districts where large numbers of handicapped foster with children, has had distemper shot, inside cat only. Also at tyiis number is a female Calico dat, about 6 months old, good with dogs and children, has distemper shot and been wormed. A mother and 4 kittens, mother is about one year, is charcoal gray with green eyes; kittens are 6 weeks old, one female is black with blue eyes, 2 males are all black, other male tiger stripe. 385-3036. children have been placed have suffered financially because special education classes are much more expensive to operate than regular classes. The special education section of the OSPI is now in the process of finalizing guidelines for the reimbursements. Funding will be retroactive to September when the act became law. Implementation is expected to begin by Jan. 15, 1974. Another part of the or­ phanage act will make special education programs for or­ phans subject to the rules and regulations governing the education of all exceptional children. The programs and services have been placed under the supervision of the special education section of the OSPI which will have to approve them before they will be eligible to receive state funds. In the past, the programs have been reviewed only for the annual reimbursement claim, which has not included professional educational evaluation. The new law will allow the state education office to supervise the quality of the programs, while allowing school districts reimbursement funding for programs and services to meet the unique educational needs of eligible handicapped pupils. A Pattern For Living Have you ever heard someone say something like this: "Very few people that I meet try to practice what they preach, or what others preach, so why should I?" They tell you times have changed and many of the things once thought of as wrong aren't considered wrong or evil by the people of the present age Unfortunately for some, moral­ ity and truth do not change from one generation to another Many times we wish thes* rules and truths didn't exist, but the fact is they do and it is up to each of us to try to live by th0tt Just be­ cause "everyone" else is doing something that is wrong, doesn't make it right in God's eyes And the day will come when we will all have to answer for the way we lived our lives God has given us a pattern and a way of living that brings us closer to Him. Many, however, turn from God and go their own separate ways doing whatever they feel like doing But one of the great things about God is His love and mercy for us -- no mat ter how badly we have messed up our lives, God is willing to take us back M t I HAPPINESS IS: FINDING VVHATk YOU WANT IN THE PLAINDEALER'S CLASSIFIED WAN- AD SECTION TODAY Of Woodstock JUNIOR and MISSES ^^^^|HOUDAY GIFT_ SPORTSWEAR Nationally Known Brands With Croat Selection Of Fabrics Wanted Winter Styles and Color r Give the Gift of choice a gift certificate Solid Polyester 5HIRTS Many Colors Great Basic Styles Sizes 8 to 16 S-M-L * S and * 12 A Terrific Choice Of Prints At Other Prices Long Sleeve or Vest Styles Festive Fashion Solids and Novelties Great Colors & Fashions Cuffed or Flared Washable Knits Fantastic-Huge Selection Colors You Want Charge Accounts Welcome BankAmericard- VI aster charge Mon.-Fri. 9-9 Sat. - 9-5:30 Sundays 10-4 Sweaters Are This Seasons Fashion We Have All You Want and Need ...
