mm* rV; §f®lfftlf i&Mte wmm M1fTa H W*!"- by DoAthy Uttich After the BaU If there is one thing for which Lakeland Park may go down in history it will be its dances. If the orchestra had not tired, if the Bartender had not closed the bar, if the lights had not been turned out, the dance might have gone on till daylight. Indeed, some of those in attendance, we hear, having been evicted from the club- . house, carried on elsewhere until just before dawn. The occasion, of course, was the Women's Glub's second annual Snow Ball at the McHenry American Legion last Saturday. Most of those preset seemed intent on wasting not a* moment of the music and the floor was just as jammed at 1:30. 6,m. as it was at 10 p.m. when all were still fresh. The holiday atmosphere was 'Supplied by a huge imitation fireplace at the far end of the hall Which was occupied by the orches- , tra. The radiations from this fireplace seemed to have the magic power to keep feet moving in rhythm. • There were about two hundred people who turned out for this dence and Alice Quaiver, Women's club president, pointed put that the success of the dance was due in large part to the preparations' of the dance co-chairmen, Dorothy Meineke and Elmira Kujak and, of course, to all who worked on the committee. lifelong gift for every member of your family and besides get at least a 10 to 1 return on your investment? (This figure was concocted by your writer, Joan Krater, and I feel it to be an exceptionally conservative one). The greatest gift we can give our children is a secure home. Inasmuch as home is not limited to a single structure but extends to those surrounding factors which either increase or decrease the value of your property, both financially and morally, we can only give our children a secure place in which to live, work and piay. This might seem the wrong time of the year to again appeal to those who have not as yet paid their community house assessment; however, I feel that now, with the spirit of giving with us all, we can show our deep love and concern for our families this year by shaving a small amount off of each gift and putting this amount in the community house building fund.,/The small amount taken from each gift will not be greatly missed and the returns will be tremendous. SHOW YOU CARE -- GIVE NOW! Board Meeting The regular semi-monthly meeting of the LPPOA board of directors was . held on Tuesday, Dec. 3. Many items of business to be handled in the new year were discussed. Present day business included an appropriation for holiday decorations at the enr trances. Ed Glorch has kindly consented to undertake this project. Also, for the second year, the LPPOA is encouraging its members to use ..their artistic ability and ingenuity, around their own individual Homes. Details are now in the process of being worked out; however awards will be made to those members having the best outdoor decorations. The aim of the LPPOA is to make this yuletide one of the brightest yet. The outlook for 1958 is a bright one with the community house project fast approaching a reality. Scale Model We hope none of you missed the beautiful scale-model park and community house in the lobby of the Legion clubhouse during the Snow Ball. Steve Kotryck, chairman of the park committee, and chief engineer of the model planning was helped by other park committee members, Bernice Laurence and Floyd Leigh and by volunteer Wally Laurence. The boys worked late many nights last week to finish in time for the dance. Pictures were taken of the model layout and will be shown as soon as possible. The model itself will be displayed in public and information will be published as to where it can be seen. Woodstock -and the, guns will be confiscated. ° These strong measures have been found hi?cessary because some of the residents have had windows broken. Also the pump house windows were broken and this damage resulted in malfunctioning of the entire community water system. This vandalism is costly and must be stopped. The deputies also warn that they are going to start picking up dogs that are running loose. They will be taken to the veterinarians. Pickup costs and veterinarians' costs will have to be paid before dogs will be returned. Every week the deputies and your reporter get a number of calls asking that something be done about the dog problems so won't you dog owners please see to it that these dogs are kept home. ; _ • • Woman's Club Meeting On Thursday, Dec. 5 thirtythree members attended the Lakeland Park Woman's club meeting. The meeting was opened by Alice Quaiver, and ivy Lezak read the pause for reflection. Some discussion was held on the revised bylaws, but the passing of them was postponed until after the first of the year. If you have any suggestions, additions, etc., to offer please bring th^m to the January meeting. Speaking of Christmas, what do you have planned for your family this year? We all wish the sky tould be* the limit where our loved ones are concerned, but even though ,this is impossible, we all nevertheless do stretch the budget to the limit, and perhaps even a bit beyond to make Christmas a time of good will and happy memories. There isn't much anyone of us wouldn't do for our families to provide a good life and secure future. We Lakeland Parkers are' now undertaking what will probably be the greatest project in the history of our community. For a mere $10 we are buying financial security for the future for ourselves, as well as emotional, educational and recreational security for the youth of our community. Where, for $10 can you buy a From the Deputy Sheriffs In order to prevent any further accidental damage or deliberate vandalism due to BB and other guns Lakeland Park's deputy sheriffs are announcing a "get tough" policy. They wish to warn one and all that they are not waitingfor-proof^jfvandalism: Anyone seen with such guns on the streets or vacant property will be assumed to be doing wrong. Offenders and their parents will be taken to the sheriff's office in Social Night If you're looking for a way to relax and forget about the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping, etc., we have a solution. Come to the LPPOA social night which will be held on Friday, Dec. 13 at 515 Shore Drive. The attendance has been picking up right along and everyone who comes seems to have a very good time. Let's see more new faces out- tomorrow night at 8:30 p.m. to present at the Snow Ball dance. The club president, ViriceCina presented Frank Parisi with a check for twenty?five dollars to be ptit in the community housje fund. How's that for cooperation! from our 'teen-agers? Certainty if these 'teenagers can work hard to collect that much among themselves, some of the adults who have been lax about their donations ought to be inspired to dig deep and give. the LPPOA and all its members send a big THANKS to -all, you *teen club members.
