V Lakeland i^ark Carole Humann 385-1605 Grandma Tomlin Observes 80th Birthday Friday A great big giant sized birth­ day wish to Grandma Pearl Tomlin who celebrates her eightieth birthday today, Fri­ day, Dec. 12. She lives with her daughter, Florence Schultz, and her family on Rogers avenue and is right up the street from another daughter, Eleanor Schwetz, who lives on Prairie. Grandma Pearl is a familiar early morning stroller as she is the official dog walker for the family, which included two dogs until just recently when their dog, Brownie, died. So eighty great big birthday hugs to a great gal and hope the frosting on your cake doesn't melt from the heat of all those candles. DANGER, DANGER, DANGER Lakeland Park is very fortun­ ate to have such a beautiful front yard as McCullom Lake. How­ ever, the lake at this time of year is a hazard. Even though the lake looks firm and solid enough for skating and sled­ ding, it isn't in all places. During the past week two boys have fallen through the ice which could have been tragic if no one had been around to help them. Richard Schumann fell through the ice last week on Thursday near the East beach and was pulled to safety by Mark Sullivan. Greg Braun fell through the ice near the West beach and was helped by Vin­ cent Linnane. The lake is dotted with many springs and these" places take much longer to freeze over and will not be con­ sidered safe until there been a longer period of freez­ ing weather. So have fun but be careful. CUB PACK 459 The Cub Scouts in the area will be calling on you in the near future with giant candy bars for sale to help raise funds for their Cub pack. Won't you please help them? BOY SCOUT TROOP 459 Family night was held at the Boy Scout meeting of Nov. 25. The boys had a tent display for everyone to look at. The boys were awarded different pins. Tenderfoot was earned by Har­ old Brunow, Christopher Rich, and William Clark. James Campbell earned Second Class. The Drivers Seat Two similar but unrelated in­ cidents occurred recently on the same day at opposite ends of the country. Both incidents involved very young boys who could have been injured or kill­ ed (Happily, they weren't.) But worth noting is that both in­ cidents could have been avoid­ ed if their mothers had follow­ ed advice of many experts on driving. Each boy -- a two-year-old in Fairfield, Conn., and a two- month-old in Dallas, Texas -- was located unharmed after be­ ing inadvertently "kidnapped" by a person stealing his moth­ er's car. Each youngster had been left alone in the car "just for a minute" while his mother was occupied elsewhere. It's likely that the car thieves were in the cars and already moving be­ fore they noticed the young­ sters' presence. In one case, the mother had left the ear running while she talked to a neighbor. In the other, the mother had gone into her babysitter's home to pick up an older son. The two-year-old, who ap­ parently was put out of the car when the thief discovered him, curled up and spent the night on the front porch of a house near the site of the theft, where he was discovered at 7 a.m. the next day. The car containing the two- month-old was abandoned about 10 minutes after it was stolen. It was located quickly by po­ lice. But the outcome could have been more tragic: A panicky thief easily could have hurt either child -- perhaps killed him -- and the children could have been molested by persons with intentions other than thiev­ ery. Kidnapping, whether acciden­ tal or intended, is only part of what can happen when chil­ dren are left unattended in auto­ mobiles. Children get bored easily, and they are the great­ est imitators in the world. From watching you, they know how to shift gears, release brakes and turn keys, even if they are as young as two or three years old. They also know how to op­ erate the cigarette lighter, and if there are any matches a- round, they become a big tem- tation. The rule bears repeating: "If you care anything at all for your children, there is nev­ er an instance when it is nec­ essary to leave them alone in a car. Either find a baby-sit­ ter,- drag the kids along, or don't go." Pat Schumann and Bob Schooley- were given One Year pins and Larry Glorch was given a Two Year Pin. Terry Beno was a- warded Three Year pin. Robert Schooley also earned the Scribe's Badge. Plans were beir^j worked out for a trip to an Indian Mu­ seum. Refreshments were ser­ ved. , The boys had planned a hik­ ing day in Indiana on Nov. 15 but ran into snow. They ended up at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago and had a good time anyway.

The Chex have second with 14-6 and there is a three way tie for third among the Swingers, R-B's and the Dum Dums with 13-7. The Fol Doms are sixth with 9}$- 10%, Seventh place is a little crowded with the 4-6's, the Playmates, the Gamblers and the Alley Cats with 8-12 rec­ ords. The Schmoos are elev­ enth with 6-14 and still in un­ disputed possession of the cel­ lar are the Apples with 3H- 16Ji One more pin and they could have been tied for elev­ enth. That's the breaks. Three gals almost won pat­ ches but for a few pins. But almost only counts in horse shoes or so I've always heard. Polly Licastro bowled a ser­ ies of 103-103-99. Bunny Jae- nicke bowled 107-113-113 and Arlene Bartos bowled 124-129- >124. Tony Kalva had 199 for a /514, Bill Schabow, Jr. bowled 202 for 495. Ray Rode had a 213-493 and Ron Bierman had 238-507. Lee Mai shot 187 for 514 and Jay Osmon had 180 for 497. Jerry Rogers bowled 209-518 and Roy Apel bowled 198-529. The league bowls a- gain this Saturday. On lanes 1 and 2 it will be the Swingers vs. the Gutter Cleaners. The Al­ ley Cats take on the R-B's on 3 and 4. The Fol Doms meet the Schmoos on 5 and 6 and the Four-Sixes vs. the Apples on 7 and 8.

STROLLING THROUGH THE PARK The area is really gleaming with Christmas lights and dec­ orations and the spirit of Christmas is beginning to shine in the eyes of all the little believers. One sad note to in­ terject is that already parts of Christmas displays have been stolen or ruined by vandals which really dampens the spirit. Bah Humbug. Halloween was al­ most two months ago. A surprise luncheon was giv­ en in honor of Mrs. Meyer's birthday last Friday afternoon. Bev Walinski was hostess for the affair and guests were Al­ ice Sullivan, Irene Roy and Chris Raiford and Scotty. Also helping with the festivities was Linda Walinski.
