Joe broq£ht a tie pin that I lost at Snug Harbor some moons ago. What's more--you should see the paperweight in a special box. It was an Irish potato. We had fun. Some day I expect to see one For Your Information That is right turn only lane. We hope the proper officials will install a larger, more visible sign at eye level. That might help. Then again, some drivers don't believe in sigris. It was good to hear Leo Heimer's voice on the line. He was siting at home where he could look out over the area where the Mill Pond once covered the area. It brought back memories to Leo. Memories of the days when they "made ice" on the pond. They cut and put up ice right up to Christmas Day. That was at one end of the pond. There was great ice skating at the other end. Things had to be reversed after Christinas. On New Years Day they had horse races on the Fox River. Sharp shod trotters and pacers sped over the ice as drivers held the lines tightly. The poijnt Leo was fhaking concerned the-weather then and now. No doubt, those winters were colder and the cold lasted longer. Leo wouldn't be surprised if they have motor boat races on the river this coming New Years D a y -- ^ People have problems. I read two complaints lately where guests refused to use those dainty, little towels provided for their use. Why not put up a sign asking and directing guests to use the towels provided for\their use? Must confess--those little numbers hanging so perfectly have scared me off. Like my mother before me, I enjoy a bowl of milk to&st. At long last, I have found another person who also likes that special dish, Carolyn Justen.

(I plan that way every year). To reduce. Not to consider jogging or, siding. To promote a program where only old-time songs are played and sung.
