Give the gals a call and they will see that the items get picked up. Dogs Again I have been receiving gripes from residents that neighbors dogs are loose again damaging evergreens and lawns, chasing youngsters and just plain bothering. All I can say is forget that they live on your street, that they are your neighbors, that you have to live with them. Neighbors like that who are so inconsiderate of others should be reported and they should be made to keep their dogs on their own property or pay a fine if they don't do so. I may sound bitter on the dog problem but if you don't start the action yourself by calling Ed Jelinek at his EVergreen or FEderal number your neighbor isn't going to keep his dog from running. After so many years of watching dogs moss up yards, jump on small children (my yard and kids included) all I can tell you is forget "love thy neighbor" (in the dog situation anyway) and get after them. If you don't, who will?? birthdays Happy birthday to Ernie Jones on April 18. Shirley Mason was three on April 12, belated happy birthday to Mrs. Ristow on April 6 and Becky Zetterburg was 8 on April 9. Jerry Janauart celebrated His fifth birthday on April 11.

Walt was born in Chicago and Helen in Mishawaka, Ind. They met when Walt's sister married Helen's brother. Helen was only 10 at the time, but the second time they met Helen was sill grown up and they were married. They have four children: Robert is 21 and overseas with the Marines, Walter, Jr., 19, in the Navy stationed in Florida, James, 17, a student at McHenry high and Judy, 12, and attends St. John's school. Walt likes to fish, putter in the yard, work on cars and eat. Helen iikes to read, is good at crocheting, an excellent cook and can bake some of the most mouth watering goodies around. A standing joke with the Messells and their neighbors are "how much weight did you lose, Walt?' They are nice folks and it was my pleasure to introduce them to you. That's It For a chilly week.
