Lakemoor-Lilymoor Margaret Karas • 385-4934 Destination Rockford For Derby Winner A "pine box derby" could be a coffin race, but actually it's the reason for a gathering of Pack 131 Thursday, Jan. 19 at Hilltop school. The Cub Scouts are busy making four-inch box cars out of pine, which cannot weigh more than five ounces. Derby night, the boys will race their cars on a track, with the winner going to Rockford to enter competition'there. Among those trying for the prize are" Tim Rice, Billy Goebel, David and Donald Weber, Donovan Brizzi, Alex Metscke, Mike Douglass, Danny Gosell, Keith Westerfield and Tommy Stevens. Good luck to all you Cubs- have a great race. LILYMOORNEWS * The Lilymoor assocation at the monthly meeting Jan. 10, accepted, regretfully, Gary Leske's resignation as treasurer. Sherill Weber will now be handling the finances for this organization, made up of residents of Lilymoor. Somebody has to keep the street lights lit, the road plowed, the garbage picked up, and oversee other necessary services. "Somebody" is each one of us, so when you are asked to pay dues promptly, please do so. Also, if anyone has a fund- raising idea, the treasury is sadly depleted and needs help. Jerry Weber, association president, would be happy to have your suggestions, and would also appreciate your coming to the meetings, the second Tuesday of every month. That's only twelve a year, so it shouldn't be too much of a sacrifice. And it's all for your own benefit. LIBRARY STORY Crocheting instructions will be given Tuesday mornings at 9:30 at the library on Lily Lake road. Bring your hooks, yarn, patterns if you have any, and Louise Hipwell will direct your fingers along new paths. Needlepoint will be taught Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. Again, bring your design, needle and thread. Other art forms will be added as requests and available times are coordinated. Call 385-6303 for information. An overdue book wasQ returned to our library by mail from Pennsylvania. It had been taken out in January of 1969 when the library was still located on Route 120 in Lakemoor. It was good to have the book returned, and I was even happy not to have to compute the fine. Let's see, .02 cents per-library-day-open, for nine years? No wonder it was returned anonymously! Your library is open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons. As one of our faithful users says, "It's not what it looks like on the outside that's important, it's the inside that?1 counts." Make life more enjoyable for yourself, too, and spend a few hours with a good book? OLD TESTAMENT The beautiful first chapters of Genesis will be the subject for an eight-week Bible course offered at Faith Presbyterian church at 9:30 Thursday mornings with Pastor Rick Snyder. Call 385-4934 for transportation or more information. GET WELL Mrs. John Lomax. Llovd Tomlinson, Mrs. Heise, Edye Fitts and Rich Dunnagan have all been on the "not well" list. Carl Stromley and Bruno Karas have something in common with Governor Thompson: sore sacroiliacs. May you all feel better soon.

Parents can help as workers that Saturday, or by donating baked goods or white elephants for the auction. Lily Ann Baker is in charge of one of the games.

At the office it was nice to visit with Pearl Skronski, Irene Provost, Ester Escalona, Anne Vogel , Mercedes Jordan, - Dorothy Burdar, and Mary Jo Kryc. The children wanted to know if Rae Ann and Joey Kryc were downtown also, but they were in McHenry with their father, Tony.
