iWtv y/' :?, *.b?v,$*?*?*>ti; MANOR by Peggy Garrelts Happy New Year 'This is the first New Year in {;ybur new home for many of you, and the "old-timers" can only brag about it being their second such holiday celebration. It has ' indeed been 'a good ^progressive year for Eastwood Manor. Many folks in the past fjtear have repainted their homes Almost everyone who was here in the growing season has put in some shrubs, trees or evergreens. Many of our neighbors Have improved their property with garages. This is all progress. We are happy indeed to see this and encourage it. Every improvement helps keep our community looking nice and increases the property values of all of US. - We have a nicely laid-out subdivision, and in a few years when our. trees and shrubs have a chance, to grow, it should be even more attractive. We hope 1958 will be a good year for all-'of you and for bur community. Church News The steering committee will undertake the job of conducting the services of the Presbyterian church until the first of February when the new pastor. Rev. Jack Mclntyre of Granville, 111. will take over. George R. Spindler of Sunnyside Estates held the first service Dec. 29. His sermon was "The Five Roads to Sanity". Jan. 5 Warren Krebs of Eastwood Manor and Edward Oleyan from Holiday Hills will conduct the service. Their topic will be "The Miracle of Bread". The services are being held as usual in the Eastwood Manor community barn. Arrangements have been made for a combination Sunday School and nursery for the children during the services which are from 11 a.m. until 12 noon. Anyone who wishes to have the small children taken care of while the services are in progress will now be able to do so. --- Guns Many of the older boys have deceived guns for Christmas -- some got BB guns, some, shot guns, and others rifles. We would like to urge that they learn from an adult how to handle their new weapons and familiarize themselves--with--the safety rules of hunting and shooting. Also, maybe they would be interested in knowing there is a rifle club in McHenry where they have a range for safe shooting. It isn't safe to shoot close to the homes in the sub-division or near the farmers' live-stock. Most of the boys are friends With sons of farmers nearby and we believe they could arrange to do their hunting and shooting on some remote part of the farm where no one would be endangered. These boys who are old enough to own guns must realize the responsibility of protecting the lives and property of their neighbors. Christmas Trees It has been suggested for safety and convenience in disposing of our Christmas trees that we have a community tree burning Sunday afternoon Jan. 5, at three o'clock. We hope everyone who has taken his tree down by that time will bring it down to the slough to add to the fire. The garbage man doesn't have room to take the trees -- and this should be a good solution to our problem. The fire wiU be supervised and everyone who wants to watch them burn is welcome. THE McHEintV PLAINDEALER;. Thursday, January! RISTAKEE HIGHLANDS by Wanda Dobecki •& Carl* Bale* 583-R1 and 2895-J rr-f* I' Dogs We are sorry to report that two of - the . neighborhood dogs have been peppered recently with a shotgun. One of them required the attention of a veterinarian. Apparently they, have exhausted the patience of some nearby farmer. Therefore if you don't want your pet shot Or harmed, it might be a good idea to keep him at home where he can't get into trouble. Sick List We have heard that Georgia Sigman's father suffered a heart attack while she and Craig were visiting her folks during the holiday season. Georgia isn't home at this writing, so we don't have the details, but we surely hope he is making a satisfactory recovery. Emily Smithson was recently confined to the McHenry hospital for a few days. She is home now taking it easy and expects to be able to return to work Jan. 6. The Dethlefsons have been battling the flu bug lately with both Paul and Denise sick for Christmas.

This and That The Cools from Mundelein had Christmas dinner at the Mathes home. , Nancy and Ray Lessard had the neighbors in Christmas night for turkey sandwiches and a bit of Christmas cheer.

The Francis Picketts motored-to4- Pontiac for Christmas. Helen Mathes' sister, Frances Greer, who is a professor of music at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, is spending part of her holiday vacation with the Matheses.
