Sunnyside Area Ellen & Bill Perschke 385-8188 Winter Tempter-Idaho Bean Soup BIBLE VERSE Village Board Conducts Very Short Meeting The village board met on Tuesday. Nov. 9. at 8 p.m. at the beach house and conducted a very short meeting The owner of a house at 5208 Orchard, which has been condemned, came to the meeting to ask for an extension of the date for the house to be torn down The board granted a thirty day extension. That was the only major issue discussed at the board meeting, and the board adjourned at'9 p.m. VILLAGER OF THE WEEK There is a man in our village who has not lived here longer than some others may have, and is not as old as some others might be, but who is devoted to the village, and proves this every day. His name is Frank Kurth, and he is my first "Villager of the Week". The Kurths first discovered our little village and decided to build here in 1936. At that time, very few people lived out here, and even fewer stayed through the winter months. Their first home, on Lake Shore Drive, was one of a handful at that end of the village. They rfesided in that home until 1962, 26 years. Then they built the house they now live in, with Frank doing much of the work himself. Frank worked for the Chicago Tribune for 43 years, retiring in 1962. He commuted to downtown Chicago for most of those years. Frank has been McCullom Lake's building and zoning inspector for nine years, taking over the position in 1967 Every new building going up, as well as remodeling of any sort, must pass Frank Kurth s keen eye before it is occupied or used. Consequently, Frank gets around quite a bit, and is known to almost everyone in the village. insight by Larry Swaim HOW CAN I KNOW GOD? By Larry Swaim S o m e s a y t h a t o u r revelation of God is complete in the Bible. Others say that God is the expression of everything that is in nature and life. Others say that God is nature itself. Some feel God was the original power behind the universe but that He no longer exists today. It is little wonder that with the h u n d r e d s o f v a r y i n g philosophies about what God is like, you and others should be confused with His nature. The Bible teaches that no one has seen God at any time. "God is a spirit and they that know Him and worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." There are many qualities we could mention about God but I would briefly mention three. 1. God is a spirit. Immediately when we mention He is a spirit, our image is clouded, but when we recognize the qualities of His personality He immediately becomes identifiable. Though He is a spirit, God is love; God is grace; God is power; God is always present; God is just. 2. The Bible also teaches that God is a completely holy and righteous being. We are taught it is impossible for God to lie. We are taught that He knows all things at all times. We are taught He is concerned and cares about each of us individually, He is often referred to as a loving Father who will provide only what is best for His children. 3. God is love. The inspired writers in selecting one word which would best describe God selected the word love. God IS love. John 3:16 indicates the dimensions of His love - that He was willing to send His son to die for our sins. May I encourage you to, read your Bible - it is through this avenue that you can become acquainted with God When he is not out inspecting, Mr. Kurth is usually to be found helping someone in the village with almost any project. His presence is always welcome at various village functions, and he usually shows up. Frank and his wife. Carrie, will be married 57 years come January. They have one daughter. Lorraine Boyle, two grandsons, and one , great- grandson SPECIAL NOTE To Jim Bitterman -please forgive me for forgetting to say happy birthday to the United States Marine Corps on Nov. 10. Happy belated birthday, all you leathernecks! LADIES OF THE LAKE The Ladies of the Lake met at the beach house on Thursday, Nov. 11. They finalized plans for their annual Christmas party at that meeting. It will be held at a local restaurant, one that features a singing couple, if you need a clue. The time is Dec. 9, at 6, and dinner will served at 6:30 sharp. There will be a grab bag for anyone who wishes to participate. Anyone planning to attend the Christmas party, and-or wishing to participate in the grab bag, please call Mrs. R.J. (Barb) Reiter, or Mrs. Harry G. (Irene) Johnson before Dec. 1. CELEBRATE Tom and Pam Jacobs, who observed their anniversary on Nov. 3, went out on the town on CONSUMER GUIDELINES Clothing Costs In a ten year period, Americans have more than doubled the amount of money they spend on cloth­ ing. According to govern­ ment statistics, shoppers in 1964 paid out less than $19 billion for women's and children's clothing and $10 billion for men's and boy's wear. By 1973, spending had jumped to almost $39 billion and $21 billion. Care­ ful shopping is therefore recommended for consum­ ers interested in trimming cost of living expenses. News Notes Of Sunnyside Area Residents This month's village meeting was held on Nov. 9. Village residents have been assured of another season of getting the roads plowed. Those residents affected by the turnaround roads leading from Hilltop in "C" Frank Realty subdivision were advised to have their own contractors excavate where necessary to establish driveways as they will be after the balance of roadways are completed. There was some discussion about an alternative village meeting place. More will be reported next month.

On a chilly winter evening, there's no better eating than a savory, homemade bean soup. A native of Idaho, the large, white Great Northern beans are the nourishing base for Idaho Bean Soup. After soaking, the beans are simmered slowly with a meaty ham hock, vegetables and seasonings to deliciously blend the flavors. Several varieties of dried beans grow exceptionally well in Idaho's sunny farming areas. A valuable source of nutrients at just pennies per serving, the quality protein in dried beans be­ comes fully complete when supplemented with just a small amount of animal or complementary plant protein. , Idaho Bean Soup freezes beautifully so make a big batch for now and later. "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." 1. By whom was the above invitation given? 2. To whom was it given? 3. By whom was it re­ corded? 4.
