McCullom Lake Mary Jo Farrell 344-1575 Two Village Policemen Submit Resignations At the board meeting held on Tuesday, Feb. 14, several announcements of interest to the village were made. Two of the village's policemen resigned at the meeting; Don Milbratz for health reasons, and Terry Godina because he is moving out of state. These resignations will take effect very soon, which means that the village needs two new policemen very soon. If you are interested in one of the positions, please call Terry Jordan, police commissioner. In other village news, stickers for your vehicles are to be displayed by March 30, not April 30 as was previously reported. Also, don't forget to attend the next village board meeting, to be held on Tuesday, Feb. 28, at which Ed Hammer will present an alternate plan for sewage treatment to the village. This should be a very interesting meeting, 'and villagers are urged to attend. CELEBRATION Amy Jean Weisenberger became a little "child of God" when she was baptized at St. Patrick's on Sunday, Feb. 12. Present to share in the happy event were Amy's parents and big brother, Kurt, and JoAnne and Jason Weisenberger, her Godparents, Karl and Michelle Weisenberger, her Grandpa and Grandma Reid, and her Grandma Weisenberger. After the ceremony, a party was held in Amy's honor at the Weisenberger home, with friends and relatives in at­ tendance. Little Amy got lots of lovely gifts, lots of pink and white for a new baby girl. NEW ARRIVAL Another new arrival in the village recently is Stephanie Lynn Kloeckner, who has been welcomed into the home of Ron and Lynn Kloeckner. Stephanie made her entrance on Satur­ day, Feb. 4. She weighed 7 lbs., 9oz., and was 20" long. She has blue eyes and dark hair, and she is just beautiful according to Elaine Gleeson. Elaine is, of course, half of the proud grandparent team, the other half being hubby Bill, who I'm sure is equally wacky over the new little bundle of joy. BIRTHDAYS AND ANNIVERSARIES Happy birthday this week to Mary Lenz on Feb. 23, to Ronnie Lancaster on Feb. 24, and Jim Hocin on Feb. 28. Happy anniversary to Joseph and Virginia Karls, who celebrate on Feb. 25, and to Bill and Janet Mathison, who have an anniversary on Feb. 26. Hope you all have happy days. REMINDER Remember when you go to apply for a building permit in the village to bring with you your lot and block numbers. You will not be issued a permit without them Calling Colleen BY COLLEEN DUDGEON Don't Change Yourself To Please Your Friends A friend of mine tells me she's tired of pretending that she likes to cook fancy foods and socialize with the so called "jet set" in her community. She says she would m u c h r a t h e r spend an evening playing charades with a close group of friends than at­ tend a cocktail party where the crowd is too overwhelming. When I asked her why she continued to participate in functions she found no pleasure in, she said she was afraid she'd lose friendships she'd worked so hard to obtain. Well, if you've got friends like that, why bother? Aren't friends supposed to be supportive of anything you chose to do so long as you decide that what you do is right for you? I told her to stop faking interest in activities solely because her friends enjoyed them. If these people can't appreciate her for what she is, then she's in the market for a new group of friends. What do you, the readers, think about this one? (If you would like Colleen's comments on your particular situation or problem, write COLLEEN, Bo* 639, Frankfort.

SAGA (continued) Is Texas really ready for Rusty? Alma and Bud Hueckstaedt's youngest son is now working on repairing data processing machines. He will soon, however, take to the road as a "route man", so exciting times await him. Rusty will be able to follow his adventures personally now, as he is getting the Plaindealer, a gift from his mom and dad. Rusty's brother-in-law, Mike Hertel. had a great trip to Florida and the Cayman Islands. Mike and Bob Nelson had an adventurous two week vacation. They visited former Lakemoor residents at "Old Man Bay". That area sounds just right for you two!

L.L.L.L. The Lily Lake Ladies enjoyed a social evening last Wed­ nesday, with Marie Hyatt and Carol Green as hostesses. The league's business meeting scheduled the first Wednesday of each month had been can­ celled due to work being done at the municipal building. Marie not only had the pleasure of co-hostessing, but went home with the first prize. Second prize winner was Mildred Nejedly, and third went to Helen Net2el. Another Helen, Para, this time, won the booby prize. Even the snow and cold weather doesn't stop these ladies from having a sharing, enjoyable evening together. Lord - give us the patience to endure our- blessings. GOD BLESS • • • • Big words don't al­ ways convey big thoughts. PETCARE IN BAD WEATHER Does it make you sad, mad, or don't you care? During the recent bad weather and high winds, many cats and dogs were allowed to roam free or fend for them­ selves. Many dogs romped in the snow, chased cars and people, raised heck with gar­ bage cans.and caused problems fof -^rivers on slip­ pery roads. Some of the' animals were lucky and came home. Some however, were maimed, killed, lost, or im­ pounded at Animal Control. At least the lucky ones picked up by Animal Control had food, water and shelter from the weather - for a while. But, most of them were never claimed by their owners. One reason was that they had no identification tags, not even collars! Possible another reason was that some owners were glad to see them gone, and didn't try to find their pet. Of the remaining animals, some found other homes with kindly souls who took them in. The rest were frozen and covered with snow drifts. GROUP, INC. P.O.
