However, light-up time should not be too far away. The work has been completed on our end, and we are now awaiting Public Service's hookup to their lines. They must receive permission from the county before they can hook up the power lines, but the latest report, after talking ^with them, is that it will just ~. be a matter of a very few days. Maybe this news will be stale by the time this paper reaches you and the lights will already be working. At least that will be the aim of the LPPOA. N. Vandalism Vandalism l;as been reported I ,• at the beaches again. Word has reached us that some of the . |^not-so-little children have been caught throwing rock^s at the ; signs posted at the beaches. Also, as you know, the speed limit • signs at the entrances to the subdivision have been destroyed in like manner. Soon there will be additional signs posted at the beaches. These signs cost the LPPOA time and money. The ambitions r»of the LPPOA are big; the bud- 1'get, very limited. Every time a sign or piece of property of any kind is destroyed and has to be replaced, it means some other worthwhile project has to be put off. The money spent by the LPPOA is ours, yours and mine. I don't think any of us likes to throw our money in the trash an. If each of us parents will ake a special effort to see to «. it that these pranks are elimin- ->'ated ,much advancement can be made toward the betterment of jour community. Any community ,-jjs only as good as the people living in it. We think ours can be onp of the best. Let's make it the test. . Woman's Club Meeting The Lakeland Park Woman's club will hold a social in place &of a business meeting on Thursday, Aug. 2, in the Links' basement, 504 Shore Drive. Games ; and prizes are being planned and ; refreshments will be served. You ; are ur&ed to bring a neighbor with you as a good time is expected to be had by all. m m 49 IS | where he and his family spent ; ten days with l relatives. The I birthday party consisted of a picnic sapper and -a hayride. To Dale Marzano, who Was the ripe old age of 8 011 July j 10. He celebrated with a party I with all the trimmings. Guests 1 at the party included Michael i and Billy Sullivan, Dale and ! Jimmy Woods, Kathleen Droes- | ser, Linda Losey, Pinky Ozog and Alan Raiford. To Teresa Kroening, who had one whole candle 011 her cake. Her brother, Bobby, complicated things by having the measles, but Teresa didn't seem to especially mind not having a big party. Her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kroening, Sr., helped the day take on a party air. The Sunday before, her maternal grandparents, ' Mr. and Mrs. Al.Gort, Sr., and her great axnlt and uncie, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Ciessau, visited. To Michael Sullivan. His dad. Jerry, reports that with seven kids in the house, every day is a party. To Billy Krater. Even though only six candles appeared on the cake, Billy is still a little breathless. There were four cakes, you see. On Sunday,' July 1, his birthday was celebrated with his aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Edmond Dupon of Chicago, who were leaving the following weekend for northern Michigan. Then j on Sunday, July 8, aunts, uncles j and cousins were everywhere to be seen. Attending this party | were his grandparents, Mr. and j Mrs. Philip" prater of Villa Park, plus the above mentioned I aunts, uncles and cousins who j are Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Kra- ] ter and sons, Philip and Steven, 1 of Mundelein, and Mr. and Mrs. | j John Landis and children, Kathy j I and Johnny, of Lombard. i | l Wednesday, July 13, found I Billy in Chicago again huffing puffing and blowing at the home j of his maternal grandparents, • Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Walker. And Thursday, of course, was • the children's party at home. I The guests at this party were j Jimmy Hansen, Deborah Holas, 1 Linda and Susie Lambert, Susan | Meineke (all from Lakeland Park) and David Stippick from Des Plaines. Of course, sister Diane shared in the festivities. Welcome It The regular monthly meeting % ^e welcoming committee was held on Thursday, July 12, at the Belohlavy home, with Dofi> lores as hostess. The guests were ^ Bess Hudecek, Edna Anderson, f Helga Broemm, Ivy Lezak and Ann Wardzola. Members of the '! committee included Arline Baris" tos, Dolores Belohlavy, Ann Dawson, Evelyn Devine, Lyda Rad- P isch and Dolores Rogers. The & girls had a wonderful time rer plating the woes and wonders of ^ ' their homes. Complaint Department Once again we have had complaints about dogs running loose through gardens, etc. It ijs disheartening to -spend a lot-of money and time only to have everything ruined in a matter of minutes. Coming and Going Robert Paskiet of Chicago spent ten days at the home of his cousin, Mrs. Wally Hansen. Upon his departure, Helen's sister, Mrs. Stella Welch, came for a ten-day visit. From all appearances, a sign should hang from the Parkway. avenue home reading Hansen's hotel. Did we detect a bit of dew in Grandma Boyce's eyes when her grandson, Scott Case Boyce, left for Chicago and home last Saturday. Scott and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Boyce paid a two-week visit to Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Boyce. The Cecil Davis homq wasn't exactly wanting for guests lately either. Mr. and Mrs. John Senko and family from Elmwood Park spent last Friday there, and Earline's parents, Mr. and Mr.s Fred Brieschke, of Forest Park had been house guests for two weeks. The Radisch home may not have had a rush of permanent guests, but their transient business has been terrific. On Friday. the 'guest list included Mr. and Mrs: Ray Graven, Mrs. Marjorie Lehman and Mr! and Mrs. Robert Truppe and children. Margie and Jimmy. Saturday found Lyda's mother, Mrs. Kenlig, and her brother, Ralph, enjoying a visit and Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Jacobsen, Mrs. Mae Reese and Bill Steidinger appeared 011 the scene. It must be the lake breezes (or maybe the nice Radisch personality could be the attraction). Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sturmer of Chicago visited Mr. and Mrs. Blanc for five days last week. Mr. Sturmer is a brother of Marie Sturmer and Rose Blanc. In the going department, Alice Sullivan journeyed to Chicago on July 13. A sad mission was the reason for her travels. She attended a wake. The Frank Holas family spent this past weekend in San Pierre, Ind., visiting Rosemary's aunt, Mrs. Louis Smolek. John and Jacquie Ahrens had an exciting two weeks in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. They motored down with Mr. and Mrs. Robert Schefter of Mundelein. John and Bob tried their hands at deep sea fishing. At this writing, we haven't heard any fish stories, but then our information came from Jacquie. Bob did .get seasick, however. Sightseeing -included a trip through the everglades. Much of the time was spent swimmrng in the ocean and pool. And to prove the old saying about" it being a small world, they met some people who hail from Woodstock. On the way home, Lookout Mountain- and Rock City in Tennessee were visited. The Ahrens looked relaxed, happy and mighty tanned when they arrived home.. Ja«<)u»e--sajd^the highest the mercufcy climbed was to 93 degrees. Considering we had a day of 101 degrees here, it seems Florida is. "real cool" in many more ways than one. • - Sunday, July 15, "the Larry Strandquists held the yearly picnic for the Friendship club at their home. The guests included Mr. and Mrs. George Bartik of LaGrange Park, the H. Bolin family of Elmhurst., Mr. and Mrs. J. Havlik of Ber- \vyn, Mr. and Mrs. I. Lange of Elmhurst, Mr. and Mrs. H. Rose of Elmwood Park, Mr, and Mrs. W. Stamm of Lombard and Mr. and Mrs. E. Boeppie of Chicago. If this column appears a bit strange this week, it is because your two regular reporters. Jetta Gleeson and Dorothy Uttich, are vacationing away from home. Jetta, as you know from last week's column, is visiting with her parents in Oklahoma. Dorothy accompanied her husband, Bud, on a trip to Traverse City, Mich., to mix a little pleasure \yith business. They arrived at Traverse City during the Cherry festival, which adfted to the enjoyment of the trip. Your cub . reporter for the week has been Joan Krater. While I have the opportunity, I would like to extend a great big "thank you" to Jetta Gleeson and Dorothy Uttich. I know you are all joining me in this^ thanks. This column is getting close to its first birthday now. It took a lot of initiative on the part of these two girls to start the column and a lot of perserverance to do the able job of reporting every week that has been done. Believe me, your reporter now knows. All I can say is "Welcome home, Dorothy. The column's all yours."
