Twahrt THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, February 20,1 dA lakeland Park Donations From tarty Swell! tyy Berhlce Boyce Ota' Friday evening, Feb. 14, i/feocial night was held in the I*$rry Strandquist basement with a lot better crowd than last inorith. There were a few niiity faces; however, not as nfiunjy as they had hoped for, biit a few each time added to these will help considerably. MtvRadisch announced that although the crowds have been sftiall, they have already turn- $250 over to the Community jEf&ise building fund. Just think what this total could have been if only'another twenty lor more would attend. I i't mean in anyway to belittle the total made; however, I*1 just can't help mentioning the potentials that this evening could have. It is only once a month anti I am sure you could all arrange to come qpce in awhile, so let's have a better crowd next month. It is the second Friday of every month. when nece$sary. They have had to go out and pick up garbage strewn all about, which I think is a shame, I hope the people who know their dogs are running loose will be ashamed enough to keep them chained or in the house. Li Valentine Party Our senior 'teens entertained the junior 'teens at a Valentine party Tuesday evening, Feb. 11, at the Frank Sweeney home. Hildie Bock, the senior 'teen reporter, and Vince Cina, president, both told me it was a huge success. The senior 'teens danced with the junior •teens and said they had a wonderful time doing so. They praised the little 'teens no end laid said that they were just swell. I think the senior 'teens deserve a lot of praise for giving this party even though they did have such a good time doing so. Refreshments for the evening included pretzels, potato chips and pop. There were three cases of pop consumed and at 10 o'clock sharp! the junior 'teens departed for home reluctantly, but full of wonderful memories. The senior 'teens, however, continued on with the party and had quite a jam session. Later on, the Sweeneys entertaine dthe 'teens with some real groovey dances to more f»f the jitterbug music than the '^rock and roll" that is so popular with the 'teens these davs. but not so popular with the Sweeneys.' To roll it all up, a good time was had by all. "Toboggan Party" A couple of Sundays back, Jo Rizzo's brothers and families came out for a day of tobogganing and skiing. They were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Geltner and children and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Geltner and children. They went over to Bull Valley where they found the tobogganing superb and the skiing wonderful. Paul Rizzo, better known to us as "Riz" tried skiing for the first time and did a really professional job and went all the way down standing up, Joe Rizzo did a real good job of skiing, but got the *kis in the wrong place. If you know what I mean and I think you do. A bit of added humor was when "Riz" tried coming Up the hill with the skis still on.. He didn't make it you know. Then Jo's nephew wanted to pull his mother and little sister down the hill on a sled. They got seated and away they went. Imagine the surprised look on his face when he got to the bottom of thfc hill and turned around only to see an empty sled and his mother and sister stuck in a snow bank just a few feet from the top of the hill. They slid off the sled shortly after getting started. It must have been real funny. They all came back to Rizzos tired, but hungry. - Jo said they went through ten pounds of roast like it was nothing. After dinner they showed movies that were taken at another family gathering and are looking forward to seeing the movies they took while they were tobogganing. Dogs! Dogs! Dogs! Yep, the dogs are still running and I am still deluged With calls. I don't like to keep writing about this situation, however when I am called time and time again to put in another article about these dogs that are allowed to run loose, there isn't anything else I can do. I have been told that my last article did do some good as two dogs that I know of are chained or are kept in the house, so this is a step in the Tight direction. The main complaint that I have been receiving this past week are dogs dumping over garbage cans. I had to put rtiy own garbage can in our garage because of dogs dumping it over, so I know just how irritating this can be. Some of these people who have called me are aged people and only go out in the bitter, cold long. Vicki has a ulterior motive in wanting the dishes as now she has her little daughter Elaine doing the dishes for her without fear of breakage. Edith served a birthday cake and plenty of coffee. May you always have as happy a birthday every year, Vickie. A Valentine Marge Franklin received a 5% lb. valentine back in 1949. The Valentine being her daughter, Valarie, who celebrated her ninth birthday Feb. 14. Valarie had for her guests Josephine Cina, Francine Parisi, Paulette and Joanne Rizzo, Lorraine Glover, Mary Terese and Alicia Sweeney, all of Lakeland Park. Jane Walsh, Karen Sue McKim and Greta Martin were Valarie's school friends who joined in the festivities. Festive it was with the table decorated in keeping with the day. Each girl had an individual birthday cake in the shape of a heart. Ice cream, pop and all the other party goodies were served. Games were played and prizes awarded to the winners. Valarie received many lovely gifts. Later Elaine Jett and son, Raymond, Vicki Bottari, daughter, Elaine, and son, Raymond and Mrs. Glover joined in. Marge really had a full house, but a happy one. Many more just as happy, Valarie. Two Birthdays? Vicki Bottari will long remember her birthday of 1958. On Sunday, Feb. 9, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. Mazzoni, Sr., and her brother and sister- in-law, Mr. and Mrs. L. Mazzoni, Jr., and daughter, Judy, all of Chicago surprised Vicki with a birthday visit Vicki was caught with her-- No that isn't what I was going to say--I was going to say she was caught with all her meat frozen solid, however her mother-ijvlaw who is a summer resident of West Shore Beach happened to be "out for the weekend and came to the rescue with a nice big roast, which only goes to show you just can't believ^ half of these mother-in-law stories you hear. They don't apply to Len's mother anyway as Vicki is always telling what a gem she is. Vicki invited Mr. and Mrs. S. Bottari over to dinner too. That was real nice of you, Vicki. That's like the story of "Come over for a duck dinner, you bring the ducks." Anyway they all enjoyed the dinner. Then on Tuesday, Feb. 11, Edith Lavin entertained Helen Gerambia, Marge Franklin, Jean Parisi, Elaine Jett and Fran Cina and the guest of honor Vicki Bottari. The event of course Vicki's birthday. Lee Glorch was also invited, but due to her mother's illness couldn't attend. The girls gave Vicki a set of dinnerware that she has wanted for ever so Bridge Club Ann Leigh was hostess to the bridge club on Thursday, Feb. 13. Dorothy Uttich, Ann Herzog, Jean. Meyer, Louise Mo Enery, Alice Quaiverf Ivy Lezak, Pearl Rheinhardt and yours truly were the players. Looking on and helping us with our bidding was Ann,-our hostess who incidently is a cracker jack of a bridge player. The winners for the evening were Dorothy Uttich, first, Ivy Lezak, second and Alice Quaiver, third. Alice Quaiver had nothing for a score at the beginning of the third round and at the end. of play walked off with third prize. No, she didn't cheat. Alice is a whiz and so is her partner, Dorothy. .Her opponents were Pearl Rhein hardt and yours truly and they doubled our five bid. I just know I could have done better if I hadn't kept smelling that delicious pizza Ann was making to serve us. Delicious was the description and we all ate as if eating was going out of style.. Can't, wait until it i: at Ann's again. Demonstration Party Op Tuesday, Feb., 11, a demonstration was held at my home. Braving the cold and most of them having colds were Alice Quaiver, Louise Mc- Enery, Pat Linnane, Dorothy Uttich, Mary Laurence, Betty Laurence, Barbara Staley, Lucille Jones, Ann Dawson, Evie Devine and Joan Krater. Betty Boyce was the demonstrator. To help the girls warm up, a a big bowl of punch was placed on the bar for the girls to serve themselves. It was a mighty popular spot for awhile. Chocolate eclairs and coffee were served and a lot of funny stories told by our very funny story teller, Alice Quaiver. I enjoyed the evening and hope the rest of the girls did too. nie Laurence domicile Feb. 8 for their regular monthly square dancing session. The Rogers, Michaliks and Leighi were unable to attend, however the W. Laurences, UhJes, Grotes, Utticl^ and, Boycei were on hand for a real good time. Jetta Gleeson was a house guest of the Uttichs for the weekend and joined us at the Laurences. Jetta looks wonderful. Her two little sons accompanied their mother from Manhatten and by this time next year, we hope to say when they visit Lakeland Park, something like this, Jetta, Tom, sons and daughter were guests of the Uttichs. That's the scoop, Jetta and Tom are expecting a third in August. It was quite a festive evening as it was Bud Uttich's birthday and Bud had-a birthday cake and also was honored by hearing all the melodious voices of the squares sing Happy Birthday. Then Dorothy Ind Bud were given a lot df--little things. What for? That's a secret, but' I hope to have the news in my next column. Mary served delicious barbecues, potato chips, relishes and lots of other trimin's. Anyone would agree that this sounds like a good party and it was too. Help! Help!

TWO ROOMS OF KNIGHT HOME ARE DESTROYED The fire at the Joseph Knight house at West Shore Beach last week destroyed two rooms and left the family of eight without a home. It was discovered by a neighbor, Sven Enarson, about 4:20. He hurried to the house and found the flames rising above an oil stove in the living room. Firemen arrived on the scene within minutes and through their efforts the remainder of the structure was kept from complete loss. Mr. and Mrs. Knight and five of their sjx children had left home about 3:30 on the holiday, Feb. 12, and went to Chicago to spend the evening with relatives. When' they arrived home about 12:30 Thursday morning, they found only part of it standing and th^ir pefr parrot dead in its cage. ** The Knights have been sta€-S ing in Chicago with' rtiatiVeir since that" time.
