Thursday, February 18, 1«J6S ESTATES FRAN OLSEN 385-5740 CUBS MAKE CHERRY tREE DECORATIONS FOR SCOUT DINNER Cheery cherry trees made by each of the dens in honor of you-all-know-who, graced the dining tables at the Fox Lake Legion hall for the annual Blue and Gold dinner for the cubs of Pack 452 and their parents, on the afternoon of Feb. 7. The program was opened by a presentation of the colors by the guard which included Donny Gerstein of the Estates. Rev. Donecke of Mt. Hope Methotjist church gave the invocation, which was followed by a delicious beef dinner served on the place mats that the cubs had made themselves. Then came the awaited moment: the presentation of awards, which was conducted by Mr. Thelen and Mr. King. In Den Five awards were given to Jimmy Williams, Jimijiy Fuqua, Stevie Kunz, Pat Maule, Mike Maule, Stevie Kanter, Phi]Jip Voight, and K&nny Bott. In Den Three, Alan Kennebeck, Alfred May, Donny Rose, Mitchell Siepman and Stan Walczynski, Jr., received awards. The charter was presented to Mt. Hope and ri§n mothers Carol Kennebeck, Fran Fuqua, and Charlotte Maule were presented pins. Mr. Phipps, whose Boy Scout affiliation spans thirty years, conducted the fun finale for the cubs: Find the Nickel. Last boy to spot the nickel in Mr. Phipps' ear lost the game, but gained the nickel. So who lost? No one. Another winning afternoon for all. . Skating . . . is in recess temporarily until Nature changes its course, but that's certain to be altered soon. Meanwhile, stout skaters give some thought to joining the "Four Horsemen of Notre Pond" (Dave Zeiger, Jim Farley, Mike Anderson and Bill Davis) who have so faithfully maintained the pond in spite of adverse and inclement conditions, for the use of all. Cheers for the "Big Four" and cheers for anyone who is big enough (in spirit and fortitude) to join these "Four Horsemen". Coming and Going --that's what Heddy and Jim Haninger have been doing a lot of. Their most recent venture was three days at daughter Joan's in Hines, until another SOMETHING SPECIAL 1 MCDONALD'S NEW FILET 'O FISH On Sale Daily Try this McDonald's exclusive in good eating--you're sure to agree l*» ihe best fish sandwich anywhere.

"The flowers there, are fabulous," reports Joan. But she didn't bring any back to Mom this time because they were traveling by train. Candle Capers When home is the norm, it's taken for granted, when home is the exception, it can be a gift to be there: for Ron Siepman, a birthday gift. Attending the Blue and Gold dinner with son Mitch was a mutual pleasure of the memorable, meaningful sort. Neighbors Carol Kennebeck and Karen Schneider dropped in in the afternoon to wish Joanne Eichhorn happiness on her day, and in the evening Andy and the children surprised her with another little celebration. Earl Fry was treated to dinner out, by sweet wife* Bemice, and received "lots of nice gifts." Gayle Garn's ninth birthday party was a fancy, family one, with all the trimmings, shared by Grandma and Grandpa Lowe and Great-Grandma Camille. Grandpa Lowe's birthday, which falls on the 11th, was also celebrated that, day, and it was . a special birthday for him, because Mr. Lowe just recently discovered that he is not alone on his day: when the colonists re-vamped the calender, they goofed, and George Washington's birthday should actually be celebrated on the 11th. Ah, comfort. To facilitate Kim and Erik Olsen's biggest birthday wish, that is, that the O'Brien children (ex-neighbors) from Crystal Lake attend their party, it was held on Saturday afternoon, with no one sifted out because of school. Only Karen Hanahan was unable to attend because she was down with the flu. With sixteen little guests attending, it was a rollicking party that lived up to its "clown" theme and even overlapped a bit into a circus atmosphere, with side shows and little sparrings occasionally in progress while games were being attempted in the "center ring"! All this liveliness left little opportunity for the adults to exchange even a word or two, but "the kids had a ball", as the justification goes for a day such as this. There's no question it certainly was THEIR day. Melody and Merily Fail; IJatty, Jimmy and Deedee Williams; Sheryl and Timmy Maule; Steve, Matt, Sara, Becky, and Sharon O'Brien; Connie flanahan; and of course the three Olsens played the run of party games and enjoyed the ice cream clowns and cup cakes before breaking out all the new gifts to "try them out": It was an exhausted but happy group that evening--Mommy included.

Results of School Meeting Last Tuesday evening the school board met with the people of Ringv/ood at a special meeting to discuss Ihe financial status of our school district. It was finally decided that in April when there will be an election for a new board member, there will also he a tax referendum for an increase of taxes to be'voted on. It seems as though there is a shortage of money coming in from taxes making it necessary to increase the tax rate or take other measures. After the voting in April, there will no doubt be another meeting to discuss the matter again, whether or not the increase goes through or not. I hope to have more of the details later on for all to study. All in attendance last week received a sheet of the school budget figures for the past three school years showing the difference, which makes this step necessary.
