Our congratulations to all of the February celebrants Around the Town The George Hiller home was the scene of quite a celebration recently.

Dorothy Hiller from Iowa was also on hand to help her grandparents cele- ' brate. , The Thelen foursome, namely I John, Agatha, Ben and Hilda, | returned to our freezing town j after spending several weeks enjoying the southern climate.

Mr. and Mrs. Joe Smith left I on Thursday for Fort Lauder- : dale while Mr. and Mrs. Bill Crist departed from Miami on i Friday. Both couples chose an ! excellent time to leave our i vicinity. I; Polio Campaign | Mrs. Mary Hettermann has been named chairman of Johnsburg for securing .funds for the polio campaign. Please try to be generous in your giving but above all please be courteous when a volunteer calls upon you. No one likes the job of asking for donations, but still in* air it has to be done. So ti^Pto put yourself in the volunteers' shoes, and treat them as you would like to be treated if the situation was reversed. Use care and common sense when choosing ashtrays for the home. Trays should be sufficiently deep, with grooves or holders which snuff out cigarette stubs, and should be of the type that will not tip cflw. Large trays that hold more than a dozen stubs are recommended. Thoughtless smoking and use of matches causes the highest percentage of all home fires. , Again thte year thousands of motorists will be strsfisslacte on congested city streefs, on busy main highways, | lome% country bywayseven their own driveways!
