"T'r"1 PISTAKEE HIGHLANDS by Wanda Dobecld UHalloween Is Here \ or just around the corner and soon all kinds of little ghosts and goblins will be calling at your t door. Halloween night should find most of the little goblins mighty tired after their very busy day. After school they will have their annual Halloween party at the center complete with costumes and all the trimmings and then after supper will 6e busy knocking op doors and trick or treating. They will meet at the big bonfire ^ to be held at 8 pjn. behind the v center to countjtheir loot and to say farewell to that exciting, spooky, fun filled day for another year. We liope they all have a good time for that is what Halloween is for and not for marring others property. So remember that kids, and happy haunting! GownUpGhosts 'Will have their own Halloween party on Saturday, Sept. 26 just t<i> prove they are not too old for ghosts, goblins and good times. This will be a costume affair and should prove fun for all who attend. Don't forget your membership cards for this is for members only and refreshments will be on the house. i Johnsburg PTA The special guest at last week's PTA meeting was Frank Burrows who gave a very entertaining and interesting speech on traffic safety. His speech was highlighted by many little tricks and feats of magic that helped put across the very vital subject of safety on our roads and highways. Mr. "Burrows spoke from long experience as dir. ^ rector of the safety council for w metropolitan Chicago and showed a special cartoon movie showing tne faults of many drivers. Everyone was very impressed with the facts he gave but I think one of the most outstanding of the evening that we should all remember was the answer to the question "How far does a car going 30 miles an hour travel after danger is sighted and the brakes applied?" . The answer is 88 feet, ™ and that distance triples when the car is traveling 60. The program was followed by cake and coffee servd by the room mothers. Please if you , are the owner of a dog as many of. us are won't you keep your dog chained or inside when you are not with him? We all % love dops but we ajso take great pride in our lawnS and gardens. Lawns and shrubs take much care and money to keep up and with all the dogs running loose this is practically impossible. So if you love your dog and respect others property as well as your own, won't you please keep than at home where they belong. Many residents have complained and threatened drastic action if the 3 , are not kept tied and I'm stire hone of us want to see any Okie's pet injured. ed around trying .to start a Sunday school here at the center for all of the local children. A meeting of prospective teachers and helpers Was held last Thursday at the home of Muriel Peterson. With the help and cooperation .,of many we may someday soon have a Sunday school here for all interested in attending.
