P(g« THE McHENBT PLMNDEALEB Thursday. August 29. 1963 Sunnysid* Estate* NAVY SON BRINGS GIFTS TO FAMILY FROM MANY PORTS IOM WMcsgrasBJ 85o-8105 Santa Claus came early to the Kelso home recently. Florence and Jack's oldest son, John, returned from a nine month tour of duty abroad his ship in the Mediterranean; and he returned laden with gifts from a good number of the countries he visited. The gifts included a tablecloth from Malta; a cuckoo clock from Germany; jewelry from Italy; a plate from France ;etc. It was gift enough thsft he was home for the eighteen day leave; but he topped all the gifts with the best; that being his Third Class Petty Officer rating which he earned last February but kept it a secret until he could bring home the news himself. What a thrilling and rewarding moment that must be for parents! Being a born fisherman, John spent a good part of his leave fishing in Wisconsin and contrary to most reports I've had this year; had a successful catch. John has since returned to his ship and I hope his family will keep us posted onjtiis travels, etc. number of hikes and cookouts and learned new crafts. It was a very full two weeks and just about everything they do applies toward one badge or another, so there is one young lady who will have a badge sash to be mighty proud of. The rest of the family has been busy, too. Betty's sister and family, Mr. and Mrs. Larry Rosenthal, and their two sons from Stevens Point, Wis., came for a two-day visit. (Son No. 3 stayed at home.) While here they visited deer haven and went swimming. And this past week, Johnny has been on vacation with his Aunt Ramona and cousin, Danny, in Waupaca, Wis., on Columbia Lake Between fishing and swimming and visiting relatives, it's been a busy week for him. Perfect Day That's what it turned out to be for Alice and Ray Bieschke on Saturday, August 17, when daughter, Tammy, was flower girl at her godfather's wedding. They were all naturally worried that she might get stage fright at the last moment; but as all children will do, she did them up proud and just about stole the show. Tammy was one of seven girls in the bridal party, all of whom wore different shades of blue. She and the ring-bearer. Bruce, who was a cousin of the bride really were a sight to behold. Tammy was also thrilled to death with her gift, a charm bracelet. Congratulations to the bride (Darleen Buck) and the groom (Robert Ehrenberg) and our wishes for a future filled with happiness. . Lovely Day That's the only way I can describe my feelings about my birthday that has just passed. My husband, Stan, and our children, Judy, Stan, Mary, Billy and Paul, along with friends and family made it just wonderful. I received many lovely cards and gifts and even a birthday telegram. On Saturday, Stan took me out for a delicious dinner and then we spent the remainder of the evening with Millie and George Kropf and Vi and Ken Crane. Another page to add to my book of memories. Bake Sale The Blessed Virgin Sodality of St. John's church will hold a bake sale Sunday, Sept. 1, after all the Masses. Since they always have more demands than supply, all the women (not just the sodality member, but all the women) of the parish are asked to furnish one of their home made goodies (anything you care to donate) to help make this bake sale the biggest and best yet. Busy Family Leave it to the Lakowske family to really enjoy a summer. This year has been a mighty busy one for them. Mary Jane just completed a two-week stay at the Girl Scout established camp, Camp Far Horizons, at Hanover, 111. She was the only girl out of Troop 88 who was able to attend. Being the scout that she is, Mary Jane enjoyed it very much. "They had swimming twice a day, with lessons; a Knock, Knock LaVerne Noah will assist again this year with the Cystic Fibrosis Fund Drive, to be held Sept. 1 to the 15th. Knocking on doors for ddnations is not an easy task so be generous in this community effort to obtain funds for research and care for the victims of this No. 2 disease killer of children.

Summer's Over Yes, here it is Labor Day weekend already and where did the summer go? Along with the last holiday of the summer months comes the usual hurry-scurry of getting the kids off to school. Ye gads, what a chore. I don't know if I'll survive! School opens on Sept. 4, both St. John's and Johnsburg public schools. Four in school and only one home-- Wow! -- Coffee anyone?

RIGHT OF WAY The right of way is what many ex-motorists thought they had. The Institute for Safer Living warns that motorists should never insist on taking the right of way at intersections, either from pedestrians or motorists. In theory the right of way may be yours, but the other driver often feels the same way about the matter. Always play it safe and alert.

Inc. 913 N. FRONT ST. 385-4004 In the past three months, sales of Chicagobuilt Fords climbed 25% over the same period last year. Why are so many more Chicagoans now choosing Fords? We interviewed new owners to find out. Here are six typical answers: "You can reach up and feel Ford's thick insulation.. "My son traded a '59 Chevrolet for a '63 Ford. He liked Ford's styling better. The smooth ride and the way the Ford takes the bumps also impressed us. And he likes Ford's padded ceiling. Friends who've ridden in the car commented on this, too. You can reach up and feel the thick insulation in Ford's ceiling-- that's a good sign that the car is well made." --Mrs. C. Banaszek. Elmhurst, Illinois "Ford has the best performance.." "I traded a '58 Oldsmobile for the 1963 Ford. This is my first Ford. I looked around pretty carefully and took a test ride in several of the cars. Ford had the best performance ... on top of that it costs much less than the mediumprice cars. It's a solid car, well made. The --L. Under, Elgin, Illinois "What surprised me was how luxurious Ford was.. "We traded a '58 Buick wagon for a Ford Country Squire. We wanted a nine-passenger wagon without a seat facing the rear. What really surprised me was how luxurious the Ford was--more luxurious than you'd expect a wagon to be. And it rides very smoothly and quietly. We have seven children, ages VA to 10.1 wish they all rode as quietly as the Ford." --W. Snallgrov% Elgin, Illinois "When are you going to turn the motor onP" "We owned some Fords in the past but our new '63 Ford is the best of all. I've never driven in a car that's so quiet. We were driving down the street with my three-year-old grandson and he said, 'When are you going to turn the motor on?' Our last car wasn't a Ford--and it didn't handle as easily as Ford. You can see better in the Ford--the windshield is larger and the shape of the hood gives you a better view of the road." --Mrs. C. O. Smith, Oak Park, Illinois standing--smooth and quiet. I find it easy to handle and park... and it has real good pickup. You get more head room and leg room in a Ford--it's more comfortable. The interior is lovely--very easy to clean. Some cars have hard-to-clean spots, but not this Ford. We're really enjoying the Ford." --Mrs. G. J. Schmidt, Chicago, Illinois "The test drive sold me..." "It was the test drive that sold me. After driving for about 15 minutes--I knew the Ford was for me. It performs just beautifully. Handling, parking, pickup--all excellent. I owned a Ford some years ago--they've really come a long way. And the dealer is reputable. I like the way he treats me and treats my car. Good car, good dealer--I'm satisfied with both." --W. S. MacDiarmid, Chicago, Illinois Stop!
