We *ill Jove our pets but most pet ,p\yners are the first to. agree they &aye their place, and that is in -jiheir own yard -- not someone .flses. .If your dog has not been taught to stay in his yard then he should and must be tied. It is |houghtless and just, plain stupid to let them run loose to ruin .others lawn and property. So ^£»iease if you have a dog that /runs loose, won't you keep him tied for your own good and everyone elses? $ PTA Fan Fair The big PTA fun fair is just a week away so you haven't long to wait!

The center was filled with Aall kinds of ghosts, witches, ^clowns and funny faces. The old- •er goblins bobbed for apples while .the younger goblins bobbed for marshmallows on a string. Everypije came away with their reward and filed in line for the judging of the costumes. Prizes for the •best costumes went to puppy dog, Cheryl Down, hobo, Mark Pfingston, and two prizes went to an Mnidentified clown and hobo. © The happy ghosts then filed in line for their treat of chocolate milk and cupcakes. Mother and children goblins then went home for a short meal and a moment r*"'"1' . --, v"1:'1 • of rest before the evening of trick or treating. I'm sure that 9 p.m. Hallowe'en night found most little ghosts tired and ready for bed, dreaming of next year. -Costume Cavorting The adult costume party held on Saturday, Oct. 26, proved to be a real gay evening for all who attended. Vou couldn't recognize many as they entered in their Hallowe'en get-ups but it seems most of the subdivision was present. The center was decked up in Hallowe'en costume too and bright glowing jack-olanterns provided the fight for the tables. The costumes were fantastic. There were the usual witches and hoboes, a colorful cannibal pair who were joined by same relatives later in the party, and even' a headless horseman and a mummy! Prizes for the most original costumes went to Dolly and Ray Novotny who came - as cannibals; the funniest went to Floyd Johnson and Janice Janquart who came as the headless horseman and a mummy, and to Joe Ullo who was a sheriff. .There were games and contests enjoyed by all and refreshments and drinks were on the house. It was a real grand party and an evening that will be long remembered by all who attended. Down Meadow Lane Betty and Tommy Jr. were warmly welcomed home last week by Tom Warczak, who missed them both while they were gone. The Louis Tomao family have been confined with the flu. Both Donna and Cheryl had a bad case of it. We hope they are all better by now. Marilyn and George Van Zevern battled the flu last week too, but are all recuperated now. Marilyn entertained a group of friends and neighbors at a demonstration party last Friday. Kay and Wally Sielisch took Wally's mother home to Downers Grove last week after she had spent three enjoyable months with them. The Tomao home looks so pretty with a.new coat of white paint. That addition of a new breezeway on the George Van Zevern home looks pretty nice and will add a nice room onto the homestead.

If so, remind them of these facts: In the past ten years, the number of mechanical, corn pickers has increased 425 percent until Illinois now has 90,000 of th£m. This .means lots bf opportunities for accidents if the pickers aren't operated carefully. The best safety device is a careful operator, and your husband can be one if he will follow these safety rulefs, says O. L. Hogsett, extension safety specialist at the University of Illinois 1. Stop the picker before greasing, adjusting or unclogging. Make "shutting off the power" a habit every time you leave the tractor seat. 2. Keep shields in place. Never operate without them. , 3. Dress for the job. Always wear close-fitting clothes that are warm and comfortable. "Extra thumb" gloves are especially dangerous. 4. Prohibit extra riders and see that you have a firm footing when climbing on and off machinery. 5. On the highway, use a red flag "up high" to warn motorists of slow-moving farm vehicles. At night use a white light in front and a red one in the rear. Obey all traffic rules. - If your husband follows these simple rules, he can harvest his corn efficterw^ and'safely.
