PAGE 17-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, JANUARY 19,<1973 Holiday Hills Bonnie Kellen & Marge Connell 385-6344 Chicago Cubs Thrill Fans At Basketball Game Although they left their mits and bats at Wrigley Field, those same smiling Chicago Cub baseball favorites were out to the Crystal Lake high school last Sunday night, Jan. 14, to battle the Crystal Lake Babe Ruth team in a benefit basketball game and quite an exciting game it was. The gym was packed with Cub fans and among them were Tillie Williams with Dale and David and Marge Connell with Chris, Eileen and Rick. The clowning antics of Fergie Jenkins was enjoyed by all the fans and both teams displayed much skill on the basketball court. Our Chicago "Cubbies" won 68 to61 and all in all, it was a very thrilling game to wit­ ness. Cub players who were there were Captain Ron Santo, Billy Williams, Fergie Jenkins, Jack Aker, Dan McGinn, Paul Popovich, J.C. Martin, Carmen Fanzone, Rick Monday, Kenny Rudolph, Randy Hundley, and Glenn Backert and it's easy to see why the fans love the Cubs as they spent almost an hour after the game talking to the kids and giving autographs. It certainly was an exciting evening for everyone who went! GINA's BIRTHDAY PARTY Although Jan. 3 was actually her birthday, Jan. 6 was a big day at little Gina Tannert's house on Hickory street as her mother and dad, Val and Herb Tannert, invited some friends in to help her blow out her birthday candles. With party hats, candy cups and balloons, it was a very lively afternoon and to share in the fun were Janice Maras, Tommy and Kenny Bender with their parents, Eileen and Tom Bender of Hoffman Estates; Grandma and Grandpa Tannert from Pistakee Highlands and baby brother, Michael, 22 months old. The children played games, enjoyed all the little treats and Gina received some lovely gifts which made it a very pleasant day for everyone. GET-WELL WISHES One little gal is laid up at present as the result of a skiing accident recently and cheery wishes are sent to her this week. Pricilla Kasprzyk, daughter of Connie and Donna Kasprzyk of Bittersweet street, broke her leg on a ski slope and we all hope it won't be too long before she's up and around again. GIRLS INTERSCHOLASTIC BASKETBALL Debbie Mahon, daughter of Bill and Mary Ann Mahon of Birch street, and Eileen Connell, daughter of Jack and Marge Connell of Oak lane, are once again showing their athletic ability as they both made the interscholastic basketball team at McHenry high school. Debbie is a junior attending the West Campus and Eileen is a freshman attending the East Campus. This is the first year the girls have been allowed to compete against other schools in basketball and with these two "star" athletes on the team, McHenry should not have too much trouble when they meet Mundelein, Barrington, Lake Forest and Waukegan which are the schools they are scheduled to compete against. Congratulations to both of you and good luck in your upcoming games! WINTER WONDERLAND Santa arrived early at the Appleyard home on Holiday Drive and then Penny, Myron and little Bonnie packed their suitcases and headed north to celebrate Christmas weekend in the "snow country". They stayed at a lodge in Crivitz, Wis., and it was really quite a "family affair" as they were joined by Penny's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Kalins, her brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Tessar, and her sister, Jackie Tessar for a "snowmobile holiday." The north at this time of the year is truly a winter won­ derland and the scenic trails were beautiful as they snowmobiled through the LOSE UGLY FAT OR PAY NOTHING Start losing weight today OR MONEY BACK.

It will be a Christmas Day they will all remember and it W^s especially nice being able to share it with all their family so far away from home. SERVICEMAN NEWS Several of our Holiday Hills young men are now serving in the different branches of the service of our country and to these we add the name of Dean Heise, son of Chuck and Eunice Heise, whom many of you will remember lived on Sunset Drive for many years until just last summer when they moved to Arizona. ^ Dean left on Dec. 15 to serve in , the Air Force and is presently stationed at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas. Good luck and best wishes are extended to him as he starts his training as a member of our armed forces. x CONDOLENCES Sincere sympathy is ex­ tended to Diane Koppen of Lilac street and the entire family on the passing of her father, Charles W. Hacek of Crystal Lake. He was World War II veteran, having served in the U.S. Navy. A funeral Mass was held at St. Thomas church in Crystal Lake last week with burial in St. John's cemetery in Fox River Grove. SWIMMING TEAM The swimming lessons our youngsters have had the op­ portunity to take every sum­ mer at the beach for many years is now showing results as since McHenry high school has had a swimming team, there has always been some one from Holiday Hills with the ability to make the team and we can proudly say several of our teen­ agers have done it again. Bill Mahon and Mark Jende are members of the junior varsity team and Jack White is a member of the varsity swimming team. Although they have some pretty tough competition ahead, we know they will come through for the "Warriors" and perhaps establish some new records. Congratulations to all three of you boys! WOMEN'S CLUB MEETING HELD The January meeting of the Holiday Hills Women's Club was held Wednesday evening, Jan. 10, at the home of Mary Ann Mahon. The meeting was brought to order by president Bonnie Kellen. Following the usual secretary and treasurer reports, several items were under discussion. The main topic under discussion was the current school bus problem, and our continuing road situation. Also discussed was swimming lessons for the coming summer, and our candy selling project. Vi Abbink and Pat Hughes volunteered to be in charge of swimming lessons. All candy money and candy not sold was to have been turned in at this meeting. If you have not done so, contact Mary Ann Mahon immediately. A nominating committee was formed to form a slate of candidates for office, which will be voted on at the February meeting. Volunteering for this committee were Marge Con­ nell,^Bonnie Kellen, and Mary Ann Mahon. All members will be called to see if they would consider running for an office. It would be desirable to have at least two and maybe three gals running for each office. When the slate of candidates is known, it will be published in this column. Following the meeting, and delicious refreshments served by hostesses Joyce Karafa and Earlene Mettelka, an attempt was made to show a 20 minute- 16 mm film entitled "The Restoration of Rosedown." It took several " "master mechanics" almost an hour to get the film going through the projector properly, and a simple tug on the film was all that was necessary. Rosedown is a plantation ^in St. Fran- cisville, La., which like most southern plantations following the Civil War, was left to deteriorate for lack of funds. The property was purchased in 1956 by a couple in Texas, and following almost nine years of complete restoration of house and 10 acres of gardens, was opened to the public in 1965. Rosedown , and the many, many other plantations in tnis area now open to the public, is a beautiful and wonderful way in which to spend a vacation and learn a little about the history of the United States. HELLMIGVAMILY SPENDS THE HOLIDAYS spent a glorious three weeks in the Florida sunshine this past holiday season. Following a tradition they set just last year and hope to continue for many years, they left in their motor home and drove to Jackson­ ville, Fla. Christmas Day was spent with friends, Charlotte and Charlie Smith, in J a c k s o n v i l l e . F r o m Jacksonville, they motored to a camping grounds at St. Lucie, Fla., where they met Libby's sister and brother-in-law, Rev. and Mrs. John Spindler, and their family, who had come from New Jersey in their motor home. The two families had met in Florida last year for the holidays and hope to do so in the future. Libby describes their camping site as "absolutely beautiful". Their site was right on the Indian River, which allowed Dick and the children to fish with all the comforts 'of home. The grounds also had for their use a heated poor, recreation hall, as well as a beach on the ocean. Sounds absolutely delightful, as the rest of us here at home had hardly seen the sun, white the Hellmigs spent five days just relaxing and enjoying the sunshine. From there, the family motored to Disneyworld, arriving there on New Year's Eve. With the lights all aglow and the special magic of this fairytale world all ^decorated for the holidays, it was indeed a special feeling for them as they pulled into their campsite. New Year's Day they spent touring the park, as wgll as several days after. They saw parades, many exhibits, and especially enjoyed an exhibit which had a terrific film on America. Leaving all the warm weather behind, but bringing along some sunshine, the Hellmig family left Florida for Holiday Hills on Jan. 4, reminiscing all the way about the wonderful vacation they had, with family and friends for the holidays.

Jan. 12,19& 26,1973) From Mrs. Zillah (Mackay) Dicker, Rufland, 111.: I remember years ago wnen the first switch board was installed ip our little village and my sister was one oi the filst operators here. A party would turn the crank on the phone and the operator would ring whom they had asked for by name. There were no phone num­ bers back then. She had to tell them to say "Hello" and then start talking to their party. At that time there was a long distance line into the Drug store. The druggist would call the party on the local line or send a messen­ ger if they didn't have a phone, and then they would have to come to the drug store to answer the long distance call! Several years later I was book­ keeper and operator in the same town, but with a larger switch­ board that had central , energy (when the receiver was taken off the hook, a light would signal). Twenty years ago I retired as an operator (S«nd contribuMo.it lo thit column to Tht Old Timor, Box 639, Frankfort, Ky. 40601.) _ INCOME TAX SERVICE SINCE 1955 DAILY 9 to 9 385-4410 •Fast and efficient service •Year around assistance •Computerized Returns •Individually Verified We have been doing tax service work in this area for 16 years, with a full time staff, working year around to assist our clients.
