Strange noises came from someplace around the premises, like birds an­ swering each other. Somehow it < was discovered that when bat­ teries get low in the detec­ tors they sound a warning. They don't really talk, but they sound off. Must try a certain product. The announcer says it is "da- licious". This heavy 1 rain in December must mean snow for next July. Some people tell us they are not sending Christmas cards this year. Cost of cards is one thing and cost of postage is the other We liked a phone call from one dear lady who let us know she and her husband were not sending cards and asked that we take them off our list They are coming off our card list, but not off our friendship list. We met Lena Herdrich (can't recall her married name) last Sunday in Crystal Lake and didn't know her. She is the same sweet girl. It was that dark hair turned to silver that fooled us. Boxing is in a sad state when old boys like Ali and Joe Fraser are coming back into the ring. We sat on a bench in a shopping center, watching all the girls go by.

It has oft been said that older women control the wealth in this country. With so many class reunions reported, a story comes to mind. One fellow whwe years were showing, stood up to speak and asked if the girl he kissed years ago as they sat under a tree on the campus would please stand up. Imagine his surprise when 20 gals stood up! Only in a small town can you meet and greet friends as we did Sunday night in Bimbo's scenic Riverfront Gold Room. Kenny Diedrich had two girls, his wife Marie and his mother Vera. Jerry Sharp and Mary Ann sat at an adjoining table. 'Twas fun. A lot of chatter. DAILY PINUPS Hope springs not from what you've done, but from the work you've just begun. Life is much like a game of cards; you must play your best with the hand that is dealt you. Youngster, take a look and see What we oldsters call a "tree", See the branches, leaves and "so on"? That's what money doesn't grow on! Since there are so many varieties of mistakes to make, why make the same one twice? Happiness goes where it is really wanted, and makes its hope where it's well treated. When your remarks are uncalled for, so are you.

This is a change from the original meeting place. Doris Low will have devotions and Secret Pals may exchange gifts at this time. HOSPITALIZED We are saddened to report that Arline Pearson was taken ill with a heart attack w h i l e p r e p a r i n g Thanksgiving dinner and is in the MeHenry hospital. At this writing, she is much improved but still in the intensive care unit. I am sure she would enjoy a note or card from her many friends. FAMILY GATHERINGS I think everyone was thankful that the p r e c i p i t a t i o n o n Thanksgiving was in the form of rain and not snow- there might not have been so much traveling. Art and Mary Baker with Laura and Bill, enjoyed the holiday with Cindy at Woodstock. Laura spent the weekend with Cindy while Art and Mary started out Friday morning for Iowa to visit their mothers and other family members. These two little ladies, Grandma Baker who is 92 and Grandma Hatfield 85, are still very active and getting out. In fact, Grandma Baker prepared Thanksgiving dinner for one of her sons and his family. Paul and Althea Walkington attended the gathering of the Benoys at Hebron. There were 53 present, including all of Althea's brothers and sisters, as well as two nephews who came from a distance-Les Benoy from Missouri and Lynn Benoy from Ohio. Twenty-seven members of the Clarence Adams, Sr. family gathered in the home of Leon and Linda (Adams) Van Every for a happy holiday. Art, Katy and Patty Christopher, with Bob N y s t r o m , s p e n t Thanksgiving in Black Creek, Wis. with Diane and Gary Linstad. On Friday, Patty and Bob continued north to Marinette county where they visited Art's folks for a couple of days. There was hardly any snow up there-the blizzards from Minnesota missed that area. They saw a lot of hunters returning home with their deer. Art and Katy returned home Friday after joining Diane and the children in some shopping in Appleton. Thanksgiving day found a smaller group at the Low dinner table than usual, because of other family committments. Though small in numbers, the family was still thankful to be together and able to share. Bob and Martha Betts, son David and wife Kim had Thanksgiving dinner in Chicago with daughter Debbie and hubby Bill Bork, and of course, they shared a big turkey leg with grandson Erin. Joan and Wanda Bistolfo of our fair town spent Thanksgiving day with their son Peter and family in Glen Ellyn. Wanda is doing pretty good with that walker of hers; she doesn't miss a step. We know there must have been many more of you getting together, but we didn't hear from you. We trust it was a happy time for all. BIRTHDAYS Best wishes go to Laura Baker on Dec. 7; and on Dec. 8, we find Jerry Hogan, Pam Low Kehoe and Scott Nicholis Miller sharing their day. Dec. 9 is that special day for Byron Sowers, with Cindy A. Barker and Linda Hosier celebrating their special day. Sigard Jacobson and Irene Olson will add another candle to their cakes on Dec. 11, with Katy Jane Glessner turning a great big three years old Dec. 12. Dec. 12 is also that special day for Georgia Hogan, Jim Pearson, Paul Walkington and Eric Bruce. "Happy Birthday" to all of you very special people. No anniversaries! Call us with your special dates and goings on. DATES TO REMEMBER Dec. 6 - Church services - 9:15 a.m. •• Ringwood church. Junior church -9:30 a.m. - Ringwood church.

GOD BLESS Seek House Parents To Assist Retarded Living an independent life in one's own home is something most people take for granted. But for mentally retarded adults, the chance to take a step toward greater personal independence is, a significant challenge. This challenge is one that many retarded adults can meet successfully with patient and understanding support. Special people to provide such valuable support are being sought by The Lambs for its new small group homes geared toward semi- independent living for r e t a r d e d a d u l t s . Houseparents--both full and part-time--are needed to staff these homes. House parents will have the unique opportunity to become involved with a residential project to en­ courage independent living for handicapped adults, as designated by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. The small group homes were con­ structed through a 40-year, low interest loan from HUD. For more information about The Lambs, located at the intersection of Tri-State Tollway 1-94 and Rte. 176, near Libertyville, contact Mrs. Cohen at 312-362-4636. Religion is the posses­ sion of the human race; no small group of any faith has exclusive possession of Divine resources. | HARMS FARM | i "Country Gift Shoppe" | i M ft !
