Wonder Lake Maijf Jean Huff 728-0267 Septuagenarian Returns From California One of our community's busiest ladies and an admitted septuagenarian, recently came back from a two week trip to San Francisco. Marie Robinson visited her grandson, Greg Duncan, his wife, Pat, and their two children, Jason, 3 and Ryan, IMj. Greg is attending a Navy nuclear sub school in San Francisco and is studying to be an instructor. "Gram" Marie was shown the sights of San F r a n c i s c o i n c l u d i n g Chinatown, Fisherman's Wharf, Telegraph Hill at night and the Golden Gate Bridge. Being a great grandmother with a twinkle in her eye and a mischievous nature, Marie helped plan a surprise birthday present for her grandson Greg's twenty-fifth birthday, a weekend visit from his mom, dad and brother,* Velma, Rouen, and Kent Duncan from Richmond, 111. A very surprised Greg and his accumulated family traveled to Hayward, Calif., where a special birthday party for Greg was held, hosted by his aunt and uncle who live there. Marie tells us her whhle trip to San Francisco was wonderful, but she didn't leave her heart there - she still loves Wonder Lake. NEW SON Mr. and Mrs. William C.

Happy days to you all! WHY IS IT - Ho! Ho! Ho! It's time for Christmas shopping. Just the thought of what lies ahead makes me wonder. Why is it..you look with envy at your friend's big fat check from her Christmas savings and think opce again this year, "Why didn't I do that?" Why is it..- when the gal down the street says, "I just don't know what to get for my kids this year, they have everything!", it makes you wish you could go back to the days when an orange in a stocking was something to look forward to. Why is it .when you decide on what you think will be the perfect Christmas gift for child No. l, along comes child No. 2 with the wish book and points to that very same toy and says, "Gee, Mom, this is just what I want!" Why is it., after a great shopping day with the girls at one of those mar­ velous shopping centers all under one roof with every store imaginable, you come home with a new dishpan and a potato peeler and do your really serious shopping right in your own "back yard". Why is it., you cringe at the words, "But Mom, I only want three things, a tape recorder, ice skates, and a typewriter." Why is it..that you get that queasy feeling in your tummy when Suzie Smart tells you she has all her ) , NOVEMBER 15, 1972 presents bought and wrapped and her freezer is full of homemade cookies and candies t - and it's not even Thanksgiving - and you're still finishing your spring cleaning. Why is it., that when you see Christmas trees advertised in September and stores stocked with holiday merchandise from then on, it's difficult to keep in focus the real reason for all of this - a tiny Babe in a manger with a message to change the world.

Paper back books to the right and left of you. Seek, search, hunt, peruse. Shoddy titles, cheap screaming pictures on the covers vie for attention. 95 cents, $150, $1.95, $2.75, and you thought they were supposed to be cheap. I'll just pick up a paperback, you thought, I'll find some en­ tertaining reading. I don't want to be screamed at in filthy four letter words, I don't want sex-- sex-sex. I'd just like a nice quiet entertaining book that's not too dear to be thrown out later. Whoa! What's this! The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and other selections from Washington Irving, 60 cents. Down goes the 60 cents. Home you go with book This is how it happened to me one evening. I proudly show my acquisition to my wife.4 started to read. The words were so early 1800's and so like a different day in literature I was soon reading aloud to Mrs. Hanner. Do you ever read aloud to your wife? Or does she read aloud to you? It doesn't make much difference who does the reading. Most of us can remember our mother or father reading to us. How enjoyable that was! How the descriptions came alive! How the action gript! (There is an old fashioned spelling for you) It does help if the reader can "elocute" a bit. Make it fun. Savor unusual words. Recall times when perhaps you were in the same locality the writer treats of. Maybe you knew someone like one of the characters. "Do you remember that little boy who lived next door to us in Prosaicville? This little lad is so much like him, isn't he?" So you read. So an evening becomes memorable. So en­ tertainment isn't so expensive. So you turn off the box with the noise and winking face and the ads and the love songs and crooners and read and un­ derstand a little more of an old and real joy. Perhaps you buy some books. Perhaps you go to the library. Books! Good books! Have fun! ^ „ /...and get more from the GOOD YEARS £% 4*. >r * •» <7x/.4 gi-'j --- Fraacis Nmgeat A friend, who is a widower, re- have to be kidding." he says, "if tired a few months ago.
