PAGE 18 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, JULY 12,1974 / Holiday Hills 385-6675 Property Owners Schedule Annual Picnic, Aug. 18 In the good ole summertime. ..nothing is grander than a fun-filled picnic. On Sunday, August 18, corrprbut to the Holiday Hills Property Owners Association annual picnic and enjoy just such treats. This year many new- attractions will be offered. One of the main attractions for the younger set will be the space age air bag. Card and game tables will be some of the favored adult features. Many of the traditional treats, such as cake walks, skill games, and of course, the beer garden will again be offered. Among the other specialities, the committee hopefc to provide boat rides and an old fashioned hayride. This year's picnic will have a new look to it and the planning committee is hoping for an exceptional turnout. As always the picnic will be held on the riverfront lots. (Riverview drive). The hours will be from noon until 9 p.m. Of course this event is not restricted to just our residents and the general public is always welcome. The committee will be most receptive to offers from volunteers to man the booths for a few hours at a time on the day of the picnic. It is hoped that this year's picnic will be quite successful for the association and calls for volunteers for all phases of the event are necessary. For further details call Sally Carroll at 385-7609. BEACH CONDITIONS Anyone basking on the beach in our hot July sun may have noticed the new look on the beach. Three loads of sand have been spread on the area. The entire area around the beach had been cleaned of debris earlier this week. The following morning several beer bottles were found in the lake, one of them broken. We all realize the dangers to our small tots unsuspectingly splashing in the refreshing lake waters. There were also cans and other litter strewn about the beach. Please use the refuse containers provided for your litter. We do not have a clean­ up committee and those using the beach area are responsible for its clean-Up. Also take care to dispose of the pop-tops from cans, as several children have cut their feet on them recently. Another reminder to parents who allow their children to ride their bikes to the beach, bikes iare to be parked on the outside of the fence - not in the beach area! This rule should be enforced particularly since the beach area is generally loaded with small fry who are apt to dart in front of a bike rider without warning. Parents, please caution your children to maintain this rule, there are plenty of biking areas in this subdivision. This bike rule also applies to mini-bikes and motorcycles. LITTLE LEAGUE FINALS On July 8, the final game of the Island I>ake Little League majors was played. The game was between the Lions and the Braves, and the Braves reigned victorious and insured the first place standing for the team with a final 12-3 win-loss standing. Sharing second place, until a play-off game is completed, is the Police Department team and the L&M team with 11 wins and 4 losses. The fourth place slot goes to the Lions with a 5-10 win-loss statistic. Fifth place is held by the Carpet Discount team with 4 wins and 11 losses. Finally, the J&L team placed sixth with 2 wins and 13 losses. Congratulations to the winners and the other teams for their participation in a most exciting ball season. Thanks to all the coaches and managers for their valuable assistance to these youngsters. BIRTHDAYING Angela Robinson celebrated her fourth birthday on July 6, with many of her little friends from the neighborhood in attendance. Angela's mom prepared treats and goodies to delight the kiddies. The miniature guests participated in numerous games and thoroughly enjoyed their prizes and treats.

This time it was our turn to play hosts for the party. I know one little girl who will long remember the enjoyment she had celebrating her fifth birthday.
