PAGE 8-PLAJNDEALER-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, Wonder Lake Mary Jean Huff. 653-9167 Fifth Graders Enjoy Bus Trip To Milwaukee The fifth graders of Harrison school and their teachers took a day off from the usual school business on] Tuesday,/April 20. Setting aside their readin', writin' and 'rithmetic, the children, plus four mothers and teachers, Mrs. Patricia Von- Bergen and Mrs. Martha Raasch, took a bus ride to Milwaukee. There they saw the spring flower display to the Milwaukee Conservatory - a thing of beauty. They also visited the Milwaukee Museum, which is relatively new, with two floors completed and a third yet to be finished. The Museum offered many things of interest to the group including an old Mexican town, Indian cliff dwellings and the favorite of most of the children - a replica of the Streets of Old Milwaukee which was very authentic. The whole day was enjoyed by all and we're told that most would like to go back to explore all the nooks of the Museum and enjoy all its mysteries.

There will be a member of the Cullom Knoll Association appointed to the park beach committee in the near future, and also someone not connected with either organization. Mr. Frost will have charge of permits for the use of the beachhouse and park. The one exception will be The Ladies of the Lake. They will not be charged for anything at all. This fine organization has done so much for the village that in turn the village board is extending them this courtesy, v. j There was I lively discussion following the meeting con­ cerning the condition of the roads and many other things. One of great interest to parents concerned the damage of street signs and road signs. Parents will be forced to pay all damages to any village property that is damaged by their children. Tkis law may seem harsh to some, but I do believe that something has to be done to stop this vandalism. How about coming to these meetings and see for yourself what is going on, you might be surprised. It is informative.

After all, he's got to stop talking if • you stop listening. And don't worry about hurt­ ing his feelings, or trying to explain why you're not in­ terested in his offer. If he's not worried about being polite, why should you be? Of course, there are many phone salesmen who are courteous and considerate. And many have genuine values to offer. To these people, "no thank you" means just that. But there are still those who refuse to stop talking until you give in. The next time you're bothered by an annoying salesman, try something subtle. Hang up. He'll get the hint. @ Illinois Bell We're a lot more than just talk.
