W THE McHENRY PlAINDEALEft Sect5on Three ~ f>age Five PISTAKEI HIGHLANDS ROSEMARY LUTZ MYatt 7-8814 FRANK BLANKS OBSERVE GOLDEN WEDDING DAY Mr. and Mrs. Frank Blank of Whispering Hills celebrated •their fiftieth wedding anniversary on Saturday, Jan. 30. The lovely couple retired to Whispering Hills a year ago after living all of their previous years in Chicago. They were married at a church wedding, also in Chicago. The couple were blessed with three children, two boys, Frank, Jr., and John, who novi/ reside in Oak Park and a daughter, Ruth, of Cincinnati, Ohio. They celebrated with a party . in their home. Those attending the festivities were: Frank and Frances Blank, John and Loretta Blank, Mr. and Mrs. Itouis Stibeck, Mr. and Mrs. John Pavlovic, Louis Woelfersheim (Mrs. Woelfersheim was home with the flu) and Mr. and Mrs. Roy Zorn./Ji The arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Blank's sons were a complete surprise to them. Their friends and neighbors had arranged for Ihe boys to be there to help their parents celebrate this wonderful event in their lives. Women's Club The Pislakee Highlands Women's Club is planning a fashionable show for April 1. The new spring and summer fashions will be modeled by som|e very pretty ladies. There will be children's as well as teens and women's clothes shown. Tickets will go on sale very shortly and I hope everyone will circle their calendar and remember this date. Watch this column for more details. All members who have not gotten their Cherry Tree items in, please see that Blanche Haefliger has them before the Feb. 24 meeting. Also don't forget that the February meeting will be an open meeting. At this time there will be a demonstration and evervone is welcomed. Association Meeting The monthly meeting of the Pistakee Highlands Association was held on Wednesday, Feb. 3, at the Community Center. The project of installing the new ceiling will start very soon. The executive board would have liked to put this to a vote, but there were not enough present. The by-laws allow the association to spend $500 for any one improvement, so the necessary material will be purchased, not to exceed this amount. A letter has been sent to the disposal company for the reimbursement of the Christmas tree pick-up, which will go to the Teen Club. The Teen Club will be responsible for the care of the beaches and also for the cutting of the grass around the barn. This will help them in raising funds to buy recreation equipment. While we are on the subject of the teens, adult help is needed. So if there are any dads or moms who would like to donate a little time to help these kids, please contact their leader, Vi Johnson, HYatt 7-3371 or come to one of their meetings, which are held on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month at. the Community Center. It has come to my attention that a rumor has been circulating about beer parties being held after^ie association meetings. The refreshments are donated and are not furnished by the association. This fact can be varified by anyone who wishes to inspect the books. All organizations, using the center, should turn the heat down to 65 when leaving. The expense of heating the community center is very high and this will save some expense. Betty Worczak, financial secretary, will be going out of office in May and if there is any person interested in undertaking this job, please contact her. This will give her a chance to show the new financial secretary the routine before its time to take over office. The adult activity committee needs more help. If there is anyone interested call Lee Conway at HYatt 7-3556. A St. Patrick Day dance will be held on March 13, the tickets will be going on sale soon and can be purchased from Mae Kolb, Lois Mason or Lee Conway. Birthdays A very happy birthday to the following: Rosella Schifferdecker on Feb. 16, Joyce Heir on Feb. 16; Rosalie Spankuch on Feb. 17; Marilyn Van- Zevern on Feb. 14; Eileen Koch who will celebrate her first birthday on Feb. 11 and to Jimmy Sabielny who will reach his seventh birthday on Feb. 11.

Mr. and Mrs. Miller retired to Whispering Hills a short while ago and are very well liked by all their neighbors. Sorry I missed a very important birthday in January, it was that of Larry Marx, who reached the ripe old age of 18. Larry is the son of Jim and Penny Marx, who are.very dear cousins of mine.

It's nice to know that there are some who are willing to donate a little time to such a worthy cause. While Audry Morin is recovering from her recent operation, Don's parents, Gene and Alice Morin, have been keeping things going for her. They left for home on Feb. 2 but were back in time for the Blue and Gold dinner. Audry didn't have to be alone long. Her father, Genie Anderson, and sister, Jackie Piotrowski, and daughter, Lyla, spent the rest of the week helping. Grandpa Anderson also attended the Blue and Gold dinner. Betty Zenner's mother, Dorothy Johnson, spent a week with Hank and Betty. Mrs. Johnson lives in Ottawa and it was quite a treat for her to spend time visiting with Betty and seeing Baby -John. , Joe Hanisch enjoyed a four day vacation last week. Hope the weather wasn't too cold to really be enjoyed. Wally and Kay Sielisch found a sparrow in their, basement. It had come down the chimney and into the furnace, but before it could get out had been scorched. Both Kay and Wally are bird lovers and are trying very hard to bring the little fellow back to where it can fly again. Mount Hope has planned a spaghetti dinner for March 27 at the church.

Class iv-won by Buick Special. Down at Daytona Beach, we gave everyone another look at Buick's "Win Policy". A V-8 Buick Special won over stiff competition (sorry, boys!) in Class IV--in the 1965 Pure Oil Performance Trials. The winning Special was equipped with our 300 cubic inch Wildcat 310 V-8 and Super Turbine Transmission. Remember that the drivers in the Performance Trials are skilled professionals, and the cars finely tuned standard production models. (If it can be said that the Special is "Standard" anything.) Also remember that the trials are an exhausting, carefully graded test of a car's allaround ability. In economy, acceleration and braking. Small wonder the Special came out on top. Handsomely. (The specific detail? Our hero averaged 20.689 mpg in economy, to score second among 10 cars. It accomplished the acceleration test--from 25 to 70 mph--in 9.315 seconds, for a fifth. And took another second in braking: from 65 to 0 mph in 172.0 feet. The cumulative result: we won all the marbles in Class IV.) Now then. If vou're going to enter something--like a car-- you might as well do it to win, too. Your Buick dealer can introduce you to the driver's seat of a Buick Special. BUICK MOTOR DIVISION LJ : ?

A fire breaks out! Ah elderly woman suffers a heart attack! . . In cases like these, people need and seek help. And, instinctively, they pick up their telephone and dial "0" for Operator. So it was during 1964, with 2,760 emergency calls handled by Illinois Bell Telephone operators in Woodstock for their Woodstock, McHenry, Crystal Lake, Harvard, Marengo and Union customers. They were among the nearly half million peop,)e»in the state who turned to the operator and received help from police fire departments, rescue 'squads', and -doctors. Police and doctors have credited the quick action of trained. responsive operators for the saving of uncounted lives and the averting of many .tragedies. "Operators are instructed to swing into action immediately whenever there's an emergency." says Mrs. Margaret Barton, local Illinois Bell chief operator. "They use 'specially-prepared emergency l|isl^ of doctors and hospitals in local areas. And, on Occasion, more than one operator's aid is needed to bring help to a person in trouble.
