As I hear it, one of the Teeners parked his coupe (that well-decorated job that whizzes to and from) at the top of "the hill a block away and left it there. Said coupe, all by myself, ran down the hill and smashed into the little house and pushed it completely out of line. I can't seem to find out if the coupe is also a little out of line, but it sure oughta be! Or is there still a coupe at all?

Mr. Hoeft had almost as much trouble as a new father, acquiring Heather. She had been shipped from Wisconsin; was lost en route and had to be traced. She was finally located in Chicago. Instead of pacing a corridor, Mr. Hoeft was racing from station to station! Two of the 4-Hers entertained at tiie Chamber of Commerce banquet in Woodstock last Friday, were from this community. Sharon Grace Sells, and Geraldine Cormier. They belong to the Busy Bumble Bees 4-H club, under the snonsorship of the Ringwood unit of the Home Bureau. Mrs. Pat Wrede was happily stuffing a turkey this week for that soldier husband of hers who was due in for the weekend. A postbirthday party for two-year-old Jean, and a pre-Thanksgiving with the ^family altogether. Gail Wrede, said soldier, had written that he Wbuld call from Chicago and tell her what train to meet. .Well, the phone a&ll cam&~-b*it not from Chicago. The leave had not been granted. Gail doesn't know now WHEN he will be home. Sadly, Mrs. Wrede unstuffed the bur bird and took it to her butcher. He has promised to keep it frozen until needed. Better luck next time, folks, and we hope the "next time" isn't too far in the future. It's no fun to. -eat turkey alone! .Mrs. Walter Troxell was glady to welcome her handsome brother, Major K. M. Berninger and his charming wife, stopping en route to his new post in Shreveprt, La. This week, the Troxells and the Berningers plan to go to Ma toon, 111., for a surprise visit to Mrs. TYoxell's parents--(and also to hunt a little quail!) Good luck to Mr. and Mrs. Heilman, merchants for a number of years in Wbnder Center, and who are now retiring to their new home in Wickline Bay.

Bob Armstrong, the proud owner of the only peg tooth in the school, distinguished himself by losing it one week after he got it. A needle in a haystack couldn't have been much harder to find than that tooth in one acre of school yard. Triumph was theirs, however. After a diligent search by the entire upstairs room, they found it. At last Bob could go home! The movie "Colonial Wife" was presented to the children on Tuesday afternoon.

Three birthdays were celebrated during the week. Ronnie Fredricksen became 11, Sandra Jo Monteleone was 7, and Billy Merritt was 8. Mrt. Merritt journeyed to > Chicago in order to purchase a raincoat and hat for her son's birthday. Billy needed this badly as he is always out in the rain a little longer than most children, because he takes his time getting to school. Just a little on the reluctant side. Information hae reached us that we misplaced the musicians at that Ringwood Halloween party last week. I had J. Bode playing the piano, and all the time he was playing the drums! It was A. R. Fossum doing that fine piano tickling! Please rgive an over-anxious reporter, gentlemen. I shall endeavor to be more accurate in the future. A little bird whispers that Helen "Elsa Maxwell" Reuter, chairman of recreation for the Rod and Gun Auxiliary, and Mrs. Mary Louise "Elsa Maxwell" Merritt, chairman of the Community club, keep overlapping in their party planning. This has been a great friendship since childhood--but can it last?

The Holiday spirit is still prevailing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Stromski. Their daughter, Mrs. Alice Miller, her husband, Wayne, and nine-month-old daughter, Gayle Ann Miller, were here from Urbana for a three-day visit. .We hope those geese last!
