THE ftJUNDEALEa Joan Krater** Thbtcii [TTii'iTTiiniiirriititriiiu^anaiJiiCi^tiniiiiiinLMrriinriiriFnTniiri^ • The board of directors Qf the tPPOA held their regular semi- _ lonthly meeting ^Tuesday, Aug.. 6. Park committee> chairman, Bob Laursen and Floyd Leigh and Bernie Laurence were present. The need for fill and ditching for the --park-was discussed and-an appropriation for these things • as well as materials for the baseball backstop and grass seed was voted in by the board members. Also voted, in was an appropriation for a portable Mars light to . be used by our deputy sheriffs. . Joe Cina and Roy Meineke, our deputy sheriffs, have agreed to purchase the shirts necessary for A their positions and the LPPOA will buy the county sheriff's patches for these shirts. We're really .official now! Dues ' Have you paid your association * Maies for the second quarter and the community house assessment yet? A list of all those who have paid the community house assessment will be published in the next issue of the subdivision newspaper. Also the possibility of erecting a plaque with the names of contributors at the park site has been discussed. If you hurry, you can still catch the train. " . Girl Scouts Your reporter had a call from the Girl Scouts regarding the need for leaders. This is certainly a most worthwhile and rewarding activity to work on. A basic leaders' training course will begin on the twenty-first of August. This training course is designed to help you with the work of being a leader; however, it is not compulsory for you to take the course in order to lead a troop. If you are a leader, you may have your meetings either in your owrj home or in one of the facilities available in town to the Girl Scouts. This is a great help as our problems will vary with the individual and what might be convenient for one would be a hardship on another. Scouting is one of the major projects which we are looking forward to having in our own community house shortly; however, we cannot have troops without leaders. There are only about eight girls allowed to one troop, so if you have been waiting for your daughter to be able to join, get in the swim and help not only yourself but about seven other children. Brownie troops start t^vith second or third grade girls; If you would like to^Jielp this cause but do not feel you want to be a troop leader, how about Signing as either a co-leader or a troop committee member who help the leaders? More information can be had by contacting either Mrs. Robert Kralowetz at McHenry 928 or Mrs. Stuart Engh at McHenry 739. Lakeland Park certainly Ijps an abundance of girls in the scouts' age level. Let's show that Lakeland Parkers are interested in their children by calling one of the above numbers TODAY! P. S. You don't have to have a-girl elfgible^or--the-girl- scouts in order to work as a leader, etc. Bearhes I am sure everyone is aware of the wonderful job which has been done by the beach" committee. These men have worked hard, spending days and days of their free time last spring to get the beaches in good order, su.ch as rebuilding picnic tables and painting same, painting signs, fixing piers and generally cleaning the beaches and building the raft at the easf beach as well as the lifeguard stands. If these projects seem small, try working on them sometime. Help is always welcome and. too often, not available. Now the beach committee has called attention to the , fact that much vandalism and plain thoughtlessness has gone on at the beaches. One of the picnic tables at the east beach has been com« -pletely destroyed. • The lifeguard stand was dragged to the other end of the beach and knocked over. A trash can was taken out into the lake by two of the young boys; this is serious, as there might have been glass in the can. Both trash cans were nearly empty, yet the beaches were littered. Who is to clean the mess? Are these good men, who have already done so much, to be expected to be carpenters and porters because we are too lazy to take half a dozen steps to deposit our rubbish in the can which they so kindly made available to us? Human nature can be pushed just so far, and unless this type of thing stops, we will find ourselves without nice clean beaches and the equipment which we all have enjoyed this summer. The beach committee did a terrific job with the carnival which was held this summer. The carnival was held to raise funds for more and better equipment for the beaches and better beaches themselvs. If the money raised has to continually be used to replace signs and equipment wrecked through carelessness and vandalism, we will not only fail to forge ahead but lose the good will and enthusiasm of the men whose br&wn and brains have gone into raising the money and doing the work. It is OUR DUTY, YOURS and MINE, to see to it that WE and OUR CHILDREN respect community property. It is also our duty to stop any vandalism which we might see taking place at any community place. If we cannot stop it ourselves, then it is our duty to contact one of our deputy sheriffs or a committee member IMMEDIATELY: We own part of thSt property, let's protect what is ours. This goes not only for the beaches, but the park site, the recreational area, and any signs, etc., posted by the LPPOA or one of its committees. In other words, anything or place which is community property and which we all paid money to either erect or put in shape. Additional signs will be posted %t the beaches. Parents will be held responsible for any damage done by their children. Driving of cars down to the beaches past signs will be enforced. No dogs will be allowed at the beaches. No glass of any kind for any reason will be allowed on the beaches. We cannot have a lackadaisical attitude about these things. We must g^t • behind our committees and work with them. Street Lights •Ed Glorch, who is in charge of the entrance lights has asked that he be contacted when a light at one of your entrances burns out. Many times Ed does not know these lights are out, so if you want your entrance lighted t at all times, please call £d at ! 1924-R when you notice a light i has burned out. ' Congratulations To The Clifford Lasts on the birth jof their son.lGlen Martin on Monday, August 5 at the Woodstock I hospital. The, champ weighed in ! at 7 lbs. and 15 ozs. Jimmy Hansen on his seventh birthday. I do not have the particulars on his party yet, so they will be in next week's column. Oops You can always tell a novice by the way they DON'T get the facts and nothing but the facts. It is the Foster C.lorches who have moved in on Prairie Avenue and not the Gordon Glorches. It is the Radisches daughter, Jackie, (Mrs. Carl Riley), and not their daughter Shirley who is expecting the baby momentarily. Oh-well, if you will notice, at least I kept it in the families. Here and There Ivy Lezak was hostess of a tea party for a few of the neighborhood women last week. Guests included Marge Dent. Sophie O'- Gara and Ann Herzog. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Jesper and their sons, John and Jimmy and Mrs. Jesper's mother, all from Chicago, not only caught the scent of the country air but also the aroma of the barbecue at the Lezak home last week and followed their noses to spend a most enjoyable day with Ivy and Stan. Ann Borovec celebrated her birthday in style when hubby. Bill squired her and tlieir daughter Carol, Carol's son little Bill, and Rose and Chuck Kluk to dinner in honor of the occasion. Ed and Jean Czajkowski had a house full of company last weekend with the overflow staying at their daughter's home. The Czajkowskis and the Ray Grotes entertained guests from California. Y <3 f\ n angry man is Sylvester T. Bly, Who today was sold a piece of "blue sky." He'd stepped in a showroom--out of the rain, Was sold a new car before he cauld explain! How he hated the styling--so high and square And in new features it was really bare. "I got a real bargain--the buy of my life-- But how do I ever convince my own wife?" Moral: You're paying for a new car... make sure you get one! When you buy a new car, put your money on tomorrow--not yesterday. Swept-Wing Dodge actually obsoletes other cars in its field. Should you invest in high, boxy styling when Dodge offers the low, low look of tomorrow? Should you invest in outmoded coil springs when Dodge offers new Torsion-Aire Ride? Should you invest in an old-fashioned lever-type transmission when Dodge _ offers the ease of Push-Button Driving? In other things, too--engines, brakes, interiors--Dodge is years ahead. So put your money on tomorrow. See your Dodge dealer. loin the swing to the Swept-Wing Dodge! The .guest list read as follows: Ed's, brother, Joe and his wife, Maggie and their daughter and two children; a son, Kenneth and a friend. These were the Californians., Chicagoans included were Ed's sister, Josephine and her husband, Mike Olesko and their son, Eugene; Ed's brother, Frank Czajkowski, his wife, Esther, and their son and daughter. The Meineke lawn was complete with barbecue grill and watermelon when supper guests at--the^-Meineke--home---arrived^ Those partaking in vthe - feast-tivities were* Roy's mother and dad, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Meineke of DesPlaines; Roy's sister and family, Mr: and Mrs. Ralph Stippick and son, Dave from DesPlaines; and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bussi of Rogers Park. Dave Stippick is staying this week to help eat the left-overs. * The Larry Strandquist farriily spent Sunday at a family reunion at the/ Downers Grove home of Mr; and Mrs. A. F. Puschek. Family members at the occasion were Mr. gjgd Mrs. A. W. Strandquist, June and Ed Meyers and children, j and Bud Strandquist fronj La- Grange; Mr and Mrs. E. Strand- I quist of Brookfield; the E. Strand- | quist family of Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Keyes and family J and Mr. and Mrs. Norman Strand- I quist from Westmont; Rita LaPar j and family from Lakeland Park; | Martin Mahoney and son from Clarendon Hills; Mr. and Mrs. Joe Husba and family of Westmont; Mr. and Mrs. Lee Sack and family from Downers Grove; Mr. and Mrs. Larry Strandquist, Jr., and family from Wheaton and Carl Strandquist and son from Tollison, Ariz. The Bill Kraters spent a very enjoyable and full weekend in Chicago. Saturday, Bill's cousin, Barbara Peterson was married to Mr. Antoine Donna in the Mayfair Lutheran church. The recep* tion was the type that one sees only in the movies or reads about in the papers. The M.C. was out of this world, and the menu included various iced melon balls; capon on wild rice with fresh asparagus, peppermint stick ice cream molds with' a ohocolate and rum sauce which was brought into the dining roorn flaming. Champagne was everywhere and the orchestra was wonderful, including quite a few rhumbas; sambas, and cha-chas on their program. Needless to say, the Kraters enjoyed * every dance and every minute of it. On Sunday, the Krater family visited a Christmas buyers' show in Chicago. The entire afternoon went quickly amidst all the beautifully packaged and eye catching colognes, 'gift items, etc. A wonderful buffet was served With baked ham, turkey and roast beef being the entrees. Needless to say, your reporter returned home tired but full and very happy about the whole trip. I wonder _who is_.next.in line in the family^ to be married? Your reporter for the week has been Joan Krater. Lyda Radisch was to have written it this week, but Lyda got on S. O. S. from Chicago from her daughter, Jackie. (I got it right this time - see, I'm- improving already). I'll say thirty until next year. A. B.
