A recent study in Illinois, Nebraska. Ohio and Wisconsin shows that 88.3 percent of the totalities and 70 l percent of the (bjurcti were from one to fifteen years old. The 4-H members will be fcsking you not to allow extra pders on your farm or garden Equipment. According to Ordie ogsett. University of Illinois Extension Safety specialist, fliere are several reasons why operators allow extra passengers: for ^company; to babysit; but most often because they couldn't say NO to a pleading child. The 4-H members will be armed with stickers ex­ claiming "ONE DRIVER - NO RIDER'rand will be asking you to allow them to put a sticker otr all motorized farm equipment you have The 4-H clubs involved are the Crystal Lake Workers, Pleasant Valley Cornhuskers, Fair Maidens, Community Builders, 4-H's, Busy Three, Busy Beavers, Kishwaukee Clovers, and the Harvard Prairie Toppers Cake Decorating About twenty youths are WONDER LAKE. __C.B. _ SALES & SERVICE currently attending the cake decorating workshops taught by the Hartland Homemakers 4-H club leader, Marie Payne.

Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? Or the twelve gifts mentioned in the Christmas song? That anything you darn well want to is do not what one does in the meadow? The correct answers to these and other sundry Christmas questions gained a prize for the winner. Colleen Priko at the Women's club Christmas dinner held at Casey 's hall. Fun and good cheer in accordance with yuletide tradition, can­ dles, soaps and assorted grab bag gifts were exchanged amid admiring eyes. The gag bags were quite another story as one by one the unsuspecting victim un­ wrapped her "gift". One lady, who has five children, found that her present of birth control pills and in case of failure one diaper, two pins and a tube of Desitin was not needed nor was the "hippie lipstick" one of our more discriminating ladies received with a questioning glance. Polish calculators were in vogue for the evening and hopefully the nlate to Santa's boot can be found and used by the lady's husband. We even had some very tantalizing un­ mentionables, one coming trom "Fredricko's of Holiday Hills". Personally we think the Polish flyswatter will go down in the annals of history for our posterity. After this hilarious form of entertainment was concluded the ladies then enjoyed refresh­ ments provided by the officers of the Women's club. Cathy Beltz, Sally Carroll, Mim DeWitt and Helen Schneider outdid themselves with deliciously layered sandwich loaves, tinted Christmas tree green with holly berry red trim and an array of holiday gelatin molds as well as a gaily decorated cake for our eating pleasure. It was one fun evening and most of us can hardly wait til next year. CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON Love and joy, the spirit of the Christmas season was ap­ parent as Eleanor Brasser, Cathy Beltz, Sally Carroll, Mim DeWitt. Marilyn Gauwitz, Jackie Hauschild, Lori John­ son, Joyce Micheals and her mother Marie, Carolyn Rithaller, Cathy Siattia, Pat Toposki and hostess Dee Wegener, enjoyed a delicious luncheon after a spiritual feast reflecting the message of the Lord's gift of love through His Son. Those who attended came away with much more insight as to the true reason we celebrate Christmas. SQUAD BENEFIT In spite of the fact that the villagers very generously opened their hearts and gave so much during this season of love, much more i^ needed to purchase the emergency vehicle. To meet this present need the Rescue squad is sponsoring "Dominick's Day" Dec. 29. They ask you to pur­ chase your holiday grocery items at any of the par­ ticipating Dominick store and a percentage of your total bill will come back to the Squad. SCHOOL DAZE Once again one of our own second graders was treated to a lovely dinner and evening of fun at the home of her teacher, Ms. Verene. Debbie Holtz and her friend enjoyed "chicken from the colonel" as in­ volvement with the kids ex­ tends beyond the classroom. Chicago has a vast amount of things to do and places to see - among them the Art institute. The Hilltop open classroom traveled to the city to view the works of the great masters. The children from Holiday Hills included David Cole, Kim Downs, Jill and Kris Hoglund, Debbie Holtz, Val Nothnagel and Heather Olson.
