FIRST FAMILY OBSERVES 25TH ANNIVERSAR Y It will be 25 years, next Wednesday, Jan. 15, since Lorraine Kurth and John Boyle exchanged vows in Chicago. The two met while spending their summers here at the lake and courted various places, including the now extinct Nell's Ballroom, Johnsburg and the former Fox Pavillion. .. John is currently serving as acting president of the village. The two have not yet firmed up their plans as to how they will observe the milestone in their lives. John has contributed much of his time to the community by serving in public life, first as vice president of the Cullom- Knoll association, and was instrumental in obtaining the installation of the basketball court in the beach. He has served numerous terms of office as trustee of the village, beginning with the incorporation in 1955. The Boyles, distinquishedcitizens, are the proud parents of two sons, John, a medical student, and Bobby - a student at Valley View. John served his country with Valor in World War n as a first Lt. in the U.S. Army Air corps and received the Purple Heart with cluster and the Air Medal. He has been employed by a utility company for many years and now serves as a supervisor for that company. Justifiably proud of the occasion also are Lorraine's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kurth, W. Parkview. Mrs. Kurth is president of the Ladies of the Lake and Mr. Kurth has served as trustee of the Cullom- Knoll association and is an active member of that organization. We hope the day will be a memorable occasion for Lorraine and John and their family. bursting forth with a song. He had a rich deep baritone voice and dearly loved the old songs. He was also a staunch support- . er of his community and was so happy when he was able to make -the village his permanent, home. Departed, yes, but forgotten- NEVER! HOSPITALIZED Mrs. Theresa Schultz was taken to McHenry hospital, on Thursday, Dec. 28 for a recurring ailment. It was thought that sjhe probably suffered another Stroke. Intensive tests were required so it was deemed necessary to remove her to St. Therese's hospital, Waukegan, where she has been, since Friday, Jan. 3, of this year. She has plenty of spunk and courage and will certainly overcome this bout with illness. Because of the distance, her visitors are limited, but we know she would enjoy cheery messages. The latest news on her condition as of this week: She has been . free of headaches, and themedies feel they can help her.

ANNUAL REUNION New Year's Eve was nostalgic for at least five members of the community when a local pub held its annual New Year get-together.

The group consisted of Jean McDonald, Marge and Ed Stacknick, Jake and this reporter.

LAKELAND PARK NEWS Carole Humann 885-1605 PARKING CARS DURING CRITICAL HOURS FORBIDDEN It has been noted before in this column that there is a city ordinance against parking in the roads at night within the city limits. It has also been noted in the Newsletter issued by the LPPOA regarding the same thing. Recently twenty-two tickets were issued to cars which were parked on the road between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. These are the critical hours during which no parking ton the roads is allowed at any time, winter or summer, it is easy to see that cars parked on the roads during snow periods which we have been having lately will hamper the efforts of the snow plows. Chronic offenders are also liable to have their cars towed away according to this ordinance. Special circumstances will be allowed for, but it would be best to check into the problem before more tickets are issued.

Ullrich said. This system, which provides lending funds to seventeen production credit associations in Illinois, to 44 PC As in the Sixth Farm Credit District' of Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas and to a total of •456 PCA^-in the United States, supplied farmers nearly $6 billion during the fiscal year in loans for operating and capital purposes. a the, u/<nd! for our International Salad 0 Bar $1.45 • KOSHER CORNED BEEF • ROAST ROUND OF BEEF -AU JUS • KOSHER DILL PICKLES \ • GREEN TOMATOES -COLE SLAW • GERMAN POTATOE SALAD • BAKED BEANS • HARD ROLLS, RYE & WHITE BREAD >ERVED Tues., Wed., Thurs., Fri. noon only!

This column is quite a bit bigger than last week's, if you could even find it that is, There is still lots of room for improvement. The biggest handicap in the past few weeks is:the old flu bug who is really keeping everybody down. We should start a roll call of flu victims and offer a badge of courage or something, but it would be more economically feasible to offer merit badges to those who manage to avoid the darn Bug. Not so many of those left around.
