One of the main topics.for discussion was the success of the Snow Ball dance. Although there are still some tickets out and some money to be turned in, the motion was made and carried that a check for $1,000. be presented to the LPPOA board at their next meeting. This money is to be put in the LPPOA recreation building fund. Another item on the agenda was the necessity of procuring a new meeting place for the monthly meetings. The * possibility of using the Legion hall is being investigated. Several of the women offered the their basements and it will be decided at the February meeting what facilities will be used. It was announced that the February meeting will be held at the Bottari home at 116 Pleasant avenue and this meeting will be social.

See America First Is the advice Mr. and Mrs. Jack Seery are giving out now after returning from their wonderful six-week trip and vacation in Seattle, Wash. The Seerys journeyed to the northwest via the Milwaukee road route and returned on the Union ~ Pacific road. This gave them an opportunity to see a great deal of America's scenic countryside. During their stay in Seattle from Thanksgiving until after the Christmas holidays, they \vere guests of Mrs. Seery's nephew and his family, Mr. and Mrs. Steve J. Day, and their six ichil dren. It was quite a sight on Christmas morning when all six children, with eyes as large as saucers, came in to see what Santa had left. A few of the outstanding memories of the trip were the sight of the beautiful Cascade mountains, Mount Rainer (Mr. Seery reports that he started to climb this one but gave up before too long) and the trips on the ferry to various islands in Puget Sound. After talking to the Seerys about how wonderful the trip was, we are certainly going to put Seattle on our Must see list. iifitmiiiniiiiiiiil Ala.

They hficf no luck in the wild turkey hunt, but brought home a number of squirrels. Even caught a racoon which they didn't care to try as a delicacy. The Gateses had' a lovely time but seemed to be jinxed as far as the weather was concerned for travelling. Coming back, they had to battle through 200 miles of ice and ^leet. This was also topped with another blow out. After this strenuous but enjoyable trip, they relaxed for a day or two and then went into Chicago to be with Mrs. Gates' family. They spent New Year's eve with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Zahora, where they celebrated the holiday occasion and also their neice, Regina Zahora's birthday. New Year's day, the Gateses were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Greco for another family reunion. Television Party On Saturday night, January 5, Mickey and Ed Gladman entertained a group of friends.

For a start on the recreation, they decorated the basement in a holiday fashion - streamers, New Year's greetings, mistletoe, etc. and invited a number of friendfe in to help them welcome the new year. The big events of the evening were playing the hilarious potato game and dancing the bioom dance. Later in the evening, a mysterious Miss X crashefl the party, but was received quite familiarly by John Svitanek, who carried her over the threshold. Through the process of elimination, Mike Michalek was conspiciously absent at this time - but we'll point no fingers. The party-goers included Flo and John Svitanek, Phyllis and Mike Michailek, Mickey and Ed Gladman, Gayle and Bob Laursen and Lucille Stevens. Have you been wondering what's behind the "Green Door"?
