V Thursday, May 7, 19E4 Till mrMJCJWttlf FLAilv juEALttt Johnsburg CHILDREN RECEIVE FIRST COMMUNION AT ST. JOHN'S Betty Hettermann We all join in extending congratulations to the First Holy Communion classes of St. John's church. The class was made up of sixty-nine children who received Our Lord for the first time at the 8:30 Mass on Sunday. Nineteen of those children were students of the public school. A more perfect day as these ybungsters had last Sunday will be hard to beat. The weatherman cooperated in making it more beautiful by giving them sunshine and warmth. Our church was decorated for this religious occasion with lovely white flowers. The cleaning job done by the ladies of the parish last week was appreciated beyond words. Everyone' who was present for this beautiful rite, whether they were strangers or parishioners, were thrilled with the beauty of our church. Our good sisters are to be commended for the altar arrangements and the handling of the First Communion class. This will be a day long remembered by th,ese children. Central Garage Captures First Place The bowling team sponsored by the Central Garage came out on top of the Thursday night ladies league in the establishment. It was a fight to the finish though. The team consists of Madaline Johnston, Isabell Stilling, Hilda Thelen, Vivian Smith and Lu Ann Smith. Those girls and the rest of the league will be looking forward to another season next fall. The team received trophies as did Connie May for high scries and J^u Ann got a second trophy for having the highest game in the league. Here We Go Again! Every spgjng the same old complaint comes along. "DOGS, DOGS, DOGS". A neighbor of mine called to say she is getting rather disgusted with the dogs that are running loose. She has young children and the dogs scai'e them something awful. The dogs are brazen enough to come right into yards where they have no business. So once again, I plead with you {log owners--please, keep them at home. Not only do they 8care> the children but they cause lots of yard damage - other people's yards. I mean. Most of these stray dogs are big ones and we would sure hate to have them jumping on the little ones. Let's not have anymore neighbors discord - - keep your canine pets at home where they belong. his death. Surviving besides his parents and two brothers are many relatives of this area. To all of them we wish to extend our sincere sympathies. " Meeting Of Importance ' On Wednesday, May 13, at ^ p.m., a special meeting will be held in the Johnsburg Community club hall.

GROVE MARINA Pox River cGrove, 111. OPENS SAT...MAY 16 The Drivers Seat France has the darndest license plate system you ever heard of -- on that we'll bet. I^irst, France has a national tag, not plates issued by small geographic areas, such as our states or France's provinces. However, the government does not distribute plates. Car owners " buy them from private firms or, and get this, they make their (vvn. The only thing the national government does is specify size, shape, color and spacing of numbers. Here's another strange thing. Reflectivelicense plates are optional. If Frenchmen like the safety values of these tags -- which reduce the number of night rear^fcnd collisions by making cars parked by the roadside more visible -- they can buy or make them. If they don't like them, they don't have to take the "safety" plates. Further, French plates come in two colors: front plates, reflective or not, are black-onwhite, and biack-on-yellow is used for the back plates. For trucks, the plate system is even more complicated. Trucks can carry reflective plates, if desired. Not this, though: If the truck doesn't carry reflective plates, it must have a non-flective white 8tripef> ; at least 8 inches high across the entire width of the truck. El-; ther is designed to improve: night visibility of trucks. It's true that French motorists can make their own plates, but any reflective plates thej make themselves have to pass certain testss established by >; the French national gpvern-l ment. Not many Frenchmen make their own plates -- most buy them from private mahufac-' turers. , Stores?"
