Bill also notified Fred and Ann about the fire in their 1955 Plymouth. With a bus load of students due at the school for early morning classes, Jim lejit the scene when the owner took charge. The other hero, so intent on his good deed was almost left behind! Louise Matthesius missed the excitement ahd was "clued in" by her chums when she boarded the bu» at the next intersection. s According to Mrs. Matthesius, she had been at a local laundromat late the previous evening. When she removed her clothes from the dryer, she detected a rather "hot" odor, but thought it was due to one, of the dryers being turned ufj ..to high. She brought the baskets into the living room of hfer home, but returned them tp the car when her husband Complained about the smell. Supposition has it that one of the; garments must have been smoldering and caused the upholstery in the car to incinerate. In addition to the interior of the vehicle and the basket of clothing, suitcases, bowling •equipment and a spare tire stored in the trunk were destroyed. Fortunately for Ann that she Removed the offending basket (Tom the living room! Fred and Ann finished putting out the fire. Snow Plowing Ordinance To Be Enforced r For the benefit of new residents, the village ordinance pertaining to snow plowing went into effect on Nov. 1 and continues to March 31, 1965. It states that no vehicles shall be parked on streets or easements between the hours of midnight and 9 a.m. Cars MUST be off the road! Complications have arisen in the past when snow plows have had to return to finish a job because of cans causing obstruction. The ordinance and publishing a reminder was discussed at the last meeting of the village board held Monday, Nov. 23. In the absence of village president Jake Levesque who was called to Springfield, Art Nelson was elected temporary chairman. All trustees were present except Bill Creutz. The board discussed drainage problems at various intersections in the community. These will be rectified in the spring. Details of the work are in the hands of Baxter and Woodman, village engineers, who will map out the specifications, along with the road commission. The next meeting will be held Monday, Dec. 14, at 8 p.m. in the beachhouse. The public is invited. Second Heart Patient In One Family! Sorry we are to relate that Gert Helwig was hospitalized in McHenry last Wednesday after suffering an apparent second heart attack. She complained of chest pains the previous Saturday, but thought it was complications from a cold. When she continued to have stronger ones on Monday, hubby Chet (who is well versed in the illness!) insisted on taking her to the doctor. Her test was not good and she was told to return on Wednesday after two days rest. The results sent her right into the hospital for a week to 10 days. The Helwigs spent Thanksgiving Day at McHenry hospital and we sincerely hope Gert will be home soon. Your cheery messages would contribute to her increased well being. Residents Move South Esther and Jim Jobes and their youngsters packed their belongings last Friday and moved to Norfolk, Va. We wish them happiness in their new location. Hardly A Happy Holiday Two funerals in three days during the holiday season hardly proved joyous for Barbara and Chuck Thacker. The first death was not unexpected when Mrs. Ida C. Jacobson of Ellenwood, G e o r gi a, passed away. The lady was Chuck's grandmother. The wonderful matriarch who left behind valuable lessons and memories was 95. Until a very short time ago, she was still very active, but the years took their toll. She succumbed on Monday and was flown back to Chicago for burial'in Rosehill cemetery, Wednesday. A person of infinite wisdom, she spread cheer throughout her lifetime. One of her good deeds was a large donation to Nativity Lutheran church, Wonder Lake, where her grandchildren and great grandchildren attend. The second bereavement was the unexpected death of Richard A. Spriggs, 59, of Hoopeston, 111. He was Barbara's great uncle and died Thanksgiving morning. Interment for him was in Floral Hill cemetery, Hoopeston. Chuck Thacker served as a pall bearer for both relatives. Youngsters Entertain In New Homp An excellent reason for a party is moving into a new (and Very spacious) home, and these were the thoughts of the Dave Hansen children. Mark, Janet, and Guy were the hosts, last Saturday evening. The kids who flocked to the house on S. Fernwood were Diane and Bernice Bjork, Jim and John Bailey, J. R. Levesque, Don Nelson, Pam Parkhurst, the Toerne girls, Charlotte and Diane; Louise Matthesius and Bill Brennan. Joe Belino escorted Janet to the high school dance and returned with her later in the evening. The young people snacked, danced, and inspected the new dwelling and expressed complete approval! since taking up their studies in September. Ted Olsen arrived from Bradley University, Peoria, on Wednesday to have turkey with his family . . . Ken Nelson, "extolling the virtures of S.I.U." Carbondale, was picked up by^ his family about 3 a.m. in the city. Seems he missed connections for the last Crystal Lake train because his train was late and the next one wasn't due until 6 a.m.! That station can be mighty desolate at that hour. During his few days, he renewed acquaintance with his dog "Hansie" and visited the home of newlyweds -- Donna and Tom Kacprowicz. Ken was to have been best man at their wedding . . . Arnie Berry arrived home from Lewis College in time to join his family at the festive board. According to reports, he renewed contact with long time chums. . . . Elayne Godina, an oustanding student at Grant School of Nursing in Chicago, had dinner with mom, pop, and rest of the family, but had to return to school early because of studies . . Chrys Levesque travelled both ways with companions from MacMurray College, Jacksonville. They were Karen Koch of Woodstock and a chum who spent the holiday with her, and Suzi Swager of Cary. These are the only local young people attending this school. Nice thought for all the parents--only three weeks before the kids return for Christmas! Thrilling W^bkend End of a fabulous hiatus arrived for Janet Murray, Sunday night, when her parents-- Larry and Betty, picked her up at O'Hare airport. She had just returned from Homecoming Weekend at Union College, Barbourville, Kentucky. Following the annual game was the formal dance, complete with the "very special" dress and all the trimmings. Her date was Jim Terry. Wonderful Holiday For Us Just having daughter Chrys home was mighty fine and hearing the news of school, her new companions, and a com plete change of schedule reminds us of the passing of time! The reunlonbelweeri her and sister, Dierdre, was ex* tremely heart-warming. Perhaps the peak of happiness was achieved when Jake took the kids, and Pappa and Sally Olsen for an airplane ride Thanksgiving morning. H i s flight time is quite extensive and it was the first trip in "the wild blue yonder" for D. D., Matt and Grandma Sally. P.S. -- This reporter stayed home, cooked, and waved at them! All returned for a most enjoyable dinner. The Time Is Coming To add to Christmas cheer for youngsters not blessed with bountiful parents (or for that matter, any parents at all!) You can contribute immeasurably with cast off toys which can be repaired and distributed to the needy by bringing your donations to McDonald's -- the local depot. Dick Picket of Flanders Road will pick up the items and take them to Great Lakes where necessary repairs are made. They are then distributed to youngsters who MIGHT be missed Christmas morn.
