PG. 4, SEC. 2 - PLA1NDEALER - JULY 27, 1967 0 LAKELAND PARK NEWS Carole Hum&nn S85-1605 Weed Cutting Continues To Give New Look ;The newest new look in the Ffcrk is the beginning of the weed cutting operation by the city. Adjacent property owners could help the procedure by clearing amy empty lots nearby of debris which could damage the equipment. Most of the lots are in pretty good shape but some of them have unfortunately been used for private dump- - ing preserves and could prove harmful to the men operating the mowers. In past years the biggest bugaboo for these fellows have been those goodies lurking in the high grass just waiting for them to tangle up. If property near you hasn't been cut yet just be patient because the fellows will get around to it. There are an awful lot of empty lots to cut and each one has people living around it who feel that it's the very worst for weeds.

Don't be late or you might be left behind. STROLLING THROUGH THE PARK Hurray, summer must really be here cuz the grass is turning brown and on one has needed mittens and their winter coat for a whole week. In case it changes again this was written on Monday and who knows what can happen in a few days lately. Have heard a strange tale about some boaters lately who decided to go for a spin during the wee small hours so they would miss the weekend traffic jam on the Chain CK Lakes and ran out of gas in the middle of Channel Lake at 4 o'clock in the morning. Paddles sure do come in handy and what an opportunity for a round of Row, Row, Row Your Boat!This is a true story, but who would believe it. Shirley and Linda Meurer had a good time with their Ellis cousins in Wheaton last week. They spent a day at the zoo and also had a day in downtown Chicago with a visit to the Field Museum. The rest of the family joined them on Saturday evening for a cook-out before the gang returned home. Pete and Sue Schwaba came out for a day of golfing last Wednesday and we really enjoyed it. This was my first time and found it a little strenuous. Pd like to trade my bowling score with the golf score. My average would really come up! I think that we set a new record for time taken for nine holes. Kathryn and Wally Kozicki are back home after an enjoyable week at the Dells. They particularly liked the water show. Murph and Norb and Norbie Kwiatek are also home after a week of traveling through Tennessee and the Smokey Mountains. Best part of a vacation is how good home if when you return. The Twins played a game with the McCullom Lake team and tied 4-4. The game was called a draw with the onset of darkness. These kids sure would like some spectators at their games. They give their all for the game and are really encouraged by interest shown. Some pretty interesting games have teen played by these Little Leaguers. Not only the Twins but all the teams. The Oakfords visited with one of Jack's co-workers Mr. and Mrs. Paul Gorens who have recently moved into one of the new waterfront apartments in town. They introduced them to the Thursday night band concerts and returned to their apartment for a longer visit. Mrs. Goren's mother is making her home with them and their grandson, Jase, was also visiting at the time. Barbara and Rosemary Tiffany are in Colorado enjoying the marvelous Denver climate. They are visiting with Rosemary's sister in Aurora just outside of the Mile High City. They left by jet on Tuesday morning and with the time change involved arrived at their destination ten minutes before they left CHare! Sounds great till you take two hours to return with the time working in the other direction. Still takes less time to arrive at your destination by jet these days than it takes to get to the airport. Ahh, progress! Holly Koehl had a very memorable birthday celebration last week when she was the very surprised guest of honor at a j>icnic at the Dawson home. "Chicken and potato salad and two birthday cakes were served picnic style in the yard to Holly and her dad and Sherry and Scooter. Also there and helping with the hoax and serving as co-hosts were the Belohlavys, the Jones family, and the Bockmans. On Thursday she was a guest at a luncheon at the McCarthy home. Thursday was really her birthday and a very happy thirteenth. I know that there is a lot more news this week, but time has run out for me to make any more calls and experiences has shown that it is useless to make calls before Monday although sometimes that is too late. We were off early Monday as we had a previous engagement with Bozo's Circus and had to catch the bus at 10:30. Please call if you have any news before Monday if possible. We are usually home on Sunday afternoon. All you baseball fans better keep your fingers crossed too so that our Cubs and the White Sox keep up the fight. GET WELL WISHES To Joan Bucaro who has been in McHenry hospital for several weeks and to Irene Koehl who is a pretty sick girl.
