The cars will be equipped with blue signal lights. If everyone will stop and allow the men answering rescue calls to pass, it will save precious time when the need arises. IMPORTANT PHONE NUMBER The Lake Region Rescue Squad is equipped and on the road. If anyone in the lake region is in need of their ser­ vices the number is as follows: area code 312-526-3311. Be sure to place the number in a readily accessible place, it can be a life saver! The Lake Region Rescue Squad will be offering training courses on first aid and ad­ vanced first aid. Presently, many of our residents are participating in the training course. As soon as I hear when the next classes begin, I'll report it in this column. HALLOWEEN DANCE RESULTS The Holiday Hills Property Association Halloween dance was successful in that it made a slight profit for the organization, but the turnout for the function was sur­ prisingly small. As few as fifteen couples were reported to have attended the dance, and they had a very enjoyable time. Prizes were awarded for the best costumes also. The win­ ners in this category were Fred Ayres, dressed as Dracula; Bob Kellen, as the Colonel; and John Kessler in a hobo type costume. Many thanks to Carol Campbell and her crew for the beautiful decorating they performed on the hall. BIRTHDAY PARTY v'On Oct. 27, Brian Thietje had several friends over to help him celebrate his seventh birthday.
