DECEMBER 2S, 19S4 Neighborhood news Ringwood: First graders help in Statue of Liberty restoration Ringwood school's first grade children proudly mailed a check to the campaign for the restoration of Miss Liberty. This check, for $212.75, represented their sharing and caring for the renovation that is in Katy Christopher 385-8037 Doris Low 653-9262 This Junior American Citizenship program afforded a variety of new educational ideas for the members. Some brought newspaper articles and magazine pictures to school showing the progress being made to renew the Great Lady. The students' knowledge was increased by reading the Roman Numerals on the tablet, and their vocabularies were enlarged by hearing "The New Colossus" poem, written by Emma Lazarus, which is located at the base of the monument. The children heard about refugees and the problems that confront newcomers, as well as finding that the copper covering has a patina finish. Five children have visited New York and viewed the statue. It was easy fty^fhem to understand the exaggerated size of all the body parts. Large pictures made to scale helped the others get some idea of this vast monument. To those in the community who contributed, the children appreciated that others were interested and wanted to help their fund. CAROLERS' OUTINGS About 30 youth and adults from the Greenwood-Ringwood parish went caroling Sunday evening for shut-ins in the area. It was a very rewarding time for everyone. Following the singing, everyone met back at the parsonage for a delicious chili supper served by Pastor and Mrs. Smith, and a fun time of visiting and eating. Patti Miller and sons en­ tertained friends Sunday af­ ternoon, Dec. 23, for the Christmas holidays. After much visiting and enjoyment of delicious goodies put out by Patti, there was a small group of square dancers that Patti is involved with, and Sally Delby, who went Christmas caroling in the neighborhood. This group visited the Lehman's, out on Ridgeway, to help Joyce cheer up. Joyce was unfortunate and slipped on a stairway and hurt her foot. So she is on crutches for the holidays. It was a small group, but they made good music which was emoyed by all they visited. FAMILY GATHERING Christmas came early at the Art Christopher's this past weekend. They had all their family together for the weekend and to exchange gifts. This gave the Gary Linstad family a chance to be with Art and Katy and still get back home to Black Creek for Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma Linstad at Appleton. . Sunday evening, they all drove over to Harvard to see Marion and Ed Kane, who are Lakemoor/Lilymoor: End-of-year birthdays Birthdays to end 1984 include Russell Sexton's, Dec. 29, and Kathryn Hibbs' on the 30th.

There have been families broken apart, and the promises of faith­ fulness in marriage. There has been much pain and illness, and yet we were given the hope of a better tomorrow. 1985-may it be a time of renewal of friendships, a time of healing of wounds suffered in 1984, a time of reaching out to others whose needs and hunger are deeper than our own, a time for joy, and the finding of the peace that is beyond all un­ derstanding. GOD BLESS spending the holiday with their daughter and son-in-law, A1 and Nancy Smith; and to help their granddaughter, Erin Smith, celebrate her first Christmas. Another daughter and son-in- law, Susan and Paul Perreault, were also at the Smiths. CONDOLENCES Hie community extends its deepest sympathy to the family of Henry Aissen, who passed away this last weekend. Ser­ vices were held Monday, with burial in the Ringwood Cemetery. LO#T ANYONE WMle rushing to get my Christmas shopping done, I hurriedly went about it at one of the area shopping centers. Lo and behold, when coming out with all of my packages, my Christmas list complete, nothing more to do but get home ani get them Wrapped, and get the last batch of cookies baked, I couldn't find my car. After some time I discovered my car two rows over from where I thought it was. So now, 30 minutes later, I must hurry in order to make up for lost time. Have you ever been lost in a parking lot? Sorry, has your car ever been lost? CONGRATULATIONS "Happy New Year" and "Happy Birthday" to Bernice Pearson, Jan Walkington and Zela Carlson on Jan. 1.

Applications have been received from Ray Bangert Jr., Algonquin village president; Trudy Bourassa, a member of Lake in the Hills village board; and Benny Little of Crystal Lake, according to Dick Meyers, chairman of the county board's Legislative Committee. ̂ The vacancy was created when District 1 board member Phyllis Walters of Algonquin was elected McHenry Recorder ber. g • . . Meyers said that- it is his understanding that two or three other people have taken out applications from the county board office for. the position. However, he said, those ap­ plications have not been filed with him or the board office. The Legislative Committee was scheduled to interview the prospective candidates on Wednesday. The committee would like to make its recom­ mendation to the full county board at the Jan. 16 meeting. The original deadline to submit applications was Dec. 12 but was extended to the day after Christmas, Meyers said, because committee members did not know how many ap­ plications would be submitted. County Board Chairman Ed Buss will make final deter? mination on the candidate. According to Meyers, the chairman does not have to abide by the committee's recom­ mendation. The county is divided into three districts for the mem­ bership of the county board, with eight members from each district. Each member is expecteck to serve on various committees and attend the monthly board meetings. Per diem pay for each meeting is $65.

A Woodstock resident and 23- year employee of the city water treatment plant, Hutson will receive about $300,000 a year for the next 20 years. Hutson said that he has been buying Lottery tickets every :weefc since the Lottery began. -His formula for picking the winning numbers was a special one: "I let the computer pick 'em with Quick Pick," Hutson said.
