Thursday, Ma*ch8, ^ c n V" 7 * :v tiMifr PLXfifbEALEfc -,_.iT "$WW By Eve Levesqqe v The jvork of ttye special census or the village was started yesterday (Wednesday). Qiarles J. Van* Derhaegen, an &o0fyyee of the _ census bureau, is supervising the - "jSroject in cooperation with Robert D. Krook, acting regional supervisor. The cooperation; of every resident is requested so that the project may be completed as sfoon as possible. To clarify a certain matter, the .** village will not receive any money ^outright from the' motor fuel tax division as a result of the census. Instead, our apportionment will be . put into a special fund by the sta:te which will be applied directly to street improvements. The village board will be alble to draw from this fund as they see fit. Restoration of 'Memorial Unknown to a large part of our population is the existence of a memorial park for veterans, located on the west ,side of Gate 1. During World Wftir II, conscientitms citizens were'patriotic enough to erect and maintain this memorial. Bd Doran was responsible for much of the work done. Every year on May 30, a fitting program was held at the Site. During the last tefi years, the j^park has fallen intoinstate of deterioration. Theresa Schultz mentioned all these facts at the CuUl o m - K u o l l m e e t i n g a n d w a s promptly appointed chairman t>f a committee to investigate the possibilities of restoring the park. Enthusiasm for the projeot ran high at the meeting and as a result, our village will have its own Memorial Day parade and commemoration services. Max Kolin is ty) making a gift of a new flag for the pole. In time, the plaque will probably be moved to a more suitable localtion. Members of the committee would like to add the names of members of the armed' forces who served in Korea Aso. Please call Theresa or send your name to her and it will be put on file to be used at the proper time. Watch the column for more de- ' tails concerning this project. A homecoming picnic?will be held Saturday, July 14, With activities being' planned to interest every age group. Some of the fe%- tures under advisement are a buggy parade tcr Che wee ones, a queen content, booths for refreshments and, 'of course, the favorite with everyone- -a balce sa^. Your ideas to further promote this community affair ate cordially welcomed And invited.. If you are a member, tcunie to the next meeting and voice your pleasure. If you aren't -- come anyway and join! While ve were enjoying and coffee, Charles Adams, Democratic candidate for state' representative, made an appearance and was introduced to the members. Because of Eastfcr, the next meeting will be held Sunday, April 8. « Notes From The CuIIom-Knoll A great deal was accomplished at the interesting and enthusiastic meeting held on Sunday. Revisions of the existing by-laws submitted by Victor Howe, chairman, Earl Nelson and Roy Zody' were read for the first time. Mem<bers Of the committee performed a thorough and comprehensive job and no further revisions were made. Your pocketbook will welcome this bit of news. One of the revisions suggested was the cutting of the dues from 12 -doMars to 6 dollars per annurit^ They will be read at the! next two meetings and will then be voted upon. A happy thought for all who have struggled to find a comfortable position on those hard benches f1- during various meetings. In the very near future, haiidsome individual steel chairs will be installed. Through *he efforts of Art StuMfeier, a deal^was dosed with Peter M. Justen • = ifiP-t'Sitib of Mc- . Henry for the purchase of 35 chair's. The Justens offered twenty more as a donation to the village, which we^accejfted with gratitude. Qualified Men Wanted Chief erf Police Dave Hansen, 603-W-l, is. accepting applications for police officers. If you are interested, contact him or the police commissioner, Willard Schultz, 865-R-l, for further information. The chief would like to have reserve men available to fill one existing vacancy and to have a reserve supply to draw from. Interested parties should be willing to donate free time for this worthy service. Any previous experience will help but is not necessary. Lass or Lad ? 1 Whichever the John Cunninghams receive in the near future, t}i!e news will be of extreme importance to the gals who attended the bkby shower for Dorothy on Tuesday, Fab. 28. The expected one received a multitude of beautiful and usetul -gifts. Wee ones have fancy wardrobes these days. Hostess Jean McDonald produced several lovely prizes wrapped in an intriguing manner. We played games until they were all won. Then another series of games was played, with the winners "stealing" prizes already won. Two of the package; ,circulated many times around the room until time was called and the lucky holders Were a'Kowed to keep them. Liz Jablonski was one of the more fortunate.

Life should be anything hut dull for the Frost family when the youngsters begin to tune up. The "for sale ' signs will be posted All along Spring Road any day! IHpre On The Party Line In last weeK's column, you were informed that two-party lines would be available to all desiring same. This president of the village, Jake Levesque, received'a detailed letter on the telephone matter, stating that there will be no eightparty lines and nobody will1 have a choice of remaining on an eightparty line. These will all be changed to two party Jines. The petition for the authority and to establish rates is now before the Commerce Commission. When the service comes in, all subscribers will receive a- very nominal Increase in telephone bills. The slight extra cost will be money well spent for the increased efficiency.
