She has been home for several days now, and should be back on her feet in no time. ATTENTION, SPIKERS! A volleyball game for the adults of the village has been scheduled for Saturday night, Jan 15, at the beach house. The time is 7:30.

CHRISTMAS VISITORS John and Lorraine Boyle of Park View avenue had some special visitors at Christmas this year Their son, John, along with wife, Karen and their year-old son, Johnny, came from Oshkosh, Wi.. to spend the holiday. Celebrating with the Boyles were Frank and Carrie Kurth, I^orraine's parents, also of Park View. The Kurths and elder Boyles certainly enjoyed their visit with little Johnny, who made the celebration much brighter. ^ HOLIDAY TRIP Don and Lois Parenti and daughters, Denise and ^Daureen. traveled to Florida during the holidays, arriving in the sunshine state on Christmas day. They journeyed all over Florida in a motor home, en- /joying the sights and the sunshine. One of the first stops was Busch gardens, where they took a train ride while drinking in all the beauty. Theh they drank the free fceer at all the train stops! Another time they attended the dog races. Don said that those dog races were the most fun he ever had. To watch those crazy dogs chase a little rabbit all around the track was just fascinating to him. While traveling, the Parentis visited several beaches, among them Clearwater and the Fred Howard beach. They walked along the docks at Tarpon Springs, where the sponges are cleaned and sold. They then continued their trip, driving through Sarasota and along the gulf and coastal areas, where the Ringling Brothers circus spends the winter. • Don's brother, Pete, and family, along with Don's mom, Lill Parenti of our village, were all in Florida visiting an old friend, Mrs. Cuthill. Lill prepared a dinner at the Cuthill home for everyone to enjoy, and after dinner, Don was walking around the neigh borhood and found none other than Bill Cruety and his wife, Eleanor, living but one block away! Bill and Eleanor lived in McCuIlom Lake for years, and all the Parentis were delighted to see them. Especially pleased was Grandma Lill Parenti, who lives in the Cruety's old house on Fountain lane, having bought it from them when they moved. The "old home week" get- togethers weren't over when the Parentis left Mrs. Cuthill's, however. They journeyd to Holiday, Fl., to visit the Mike Herzog family, who are also former McCuIlom Lake residents. When the Parentis arrived, another surprise greeted them. Visiting the Herzogs were Mr. and Mrs. Bill Schlitz and family, who used to iive in McCuIlom Lake, and now reside in Crystal Lake. The Parentis attended a New Year's Eve party which was held in the recreation hall at the trailer park where they were staying, and all had a great time. With all the traveling they did, Don and family ran into very little bad weather, and report a great, sunny trip. They arrived home ready to face the rest of an Illinois winter, having had a very memorable holiday trip.. SPECIAL NOTE Carrie Kurth - Don't you worry your little head, Frank is looking for a housekeeper, not two girlfriends. BIG HUNT From the information I have received, Phyllis Venable will probably opt to sit out the next fox hunt. However, Phyllis, if you do decide to participate, may we give you two small Public aid director, James L. Trainor, and Department on Aging director, Kenneth W. Holland, recently signed an interagency agreement of cooperation to inform elderly, low income persons of the availability of JUSDA food stamps and the benefits which can be derived from the use of food stamps. Persons and families eligible for the program can buy a fixed amount of stamps depending upon the size of the household for a price arrived at through computation of the monthly net income and receive additional free stamps which can be used to purchase additional food. The contract will be for an indeterminate period of time and filll be in effect for as long as outreach and educational acitivities are considered needed. The Department on Aging (DOA) will provide the Department of Public Aid (DPA) with demographic data on senior citizen population by county and provide staff from their thirteen planning and service areas to attend training sessions conducted by the department of Public Aid. These training sessions will provide DOA staff with the program information whicH" will permit statewide recruitment of participants in the program in the areas served. \ DPA will develop the specific training program including dates and locations and provide informational material on the Food Stamp program for distribution at the training sites and for senior citizens who show an interest in the program.
