and as they drove into North Liberty, he saw the American flags flying all down through the main street. He said, “Well, 1 know now that lam in America.” So we need to be very proud of our town and lets keep flying our flag too. Have you taken a look at how attractive the windows are at Liberty Drugs and Emporium? Especially look in the south window and see the work of art done by Jane Pittman of Road 23, which looks exactly like the building looks today, made from lots of graham crackers and frosting. It must have required hours of work, but anyway, its fantastic and she is to be complimented. Ted and Cindy Woolet are the proud parents of a baby son, born Sunday morning at Memorial Hosptal. They named him Cary Daniel. Please remember Steve Foresman, who is a patient in Indiana University Hospital. His address is 1100 West Michigan. Indianapolis, IN 46202. His room number is C 457.

Phil and Susan Engleman, of Chicago; Jack and Shirley and daughter, Jackie, of South Bend; Mr. and Mrs. Adam Mann, of Bremen and Ted and Cindy Woolet and their four sons. It was a fun day with all being together. The Chamber of Commerce will again be giving prizes for the best decorated home and business in North Liberty. There are many beautifully decorated homes this year as you drive around. So please take the time to take the children to see all the beautiful decorations in our home town. The ladies of the Baptist Church invited friends as their guests last Friday evening to attend their Christmas get-together in. the social room of the church, which was beautifully decorated. They ate by candlelight with the food being catered by Bob's Country Store, which was delicious. The minister’s wife then gave devotions, Christmas carols were sung and then the program was turned over to Joan Freeman who has a gift shop called “Just Because” across from the Country Garden Center. Her theme was Christmas decorating and how to choose to be different in your gift giving. She had many of her unusual gifts and gift baskets on display. Patty Martin was along to help her give out samples of her many goodies she carries in her store, so please drop In and visit as you will be as much surprised as we were Friday night. Bruce A. Griffey called on Gladys Sheneman Thursday afternoon. He is the son of Harry Griffey, who use to run the restaurant in North Liberty and now manages a K-Mart restaurant in the Detroit area. Bruce is starting his own business in the Lakeville area called ExecuLube, mobile car care service, which will “come to you” and perform many car services. Call 298-2713 for appointment or information. Many of you will remember Gary and Sue Shields. Their son, Eric,* was a former employee of the Christmas Tree Farm, so Hoppy and Marlyn decided to send him a Christmas tree about two weeks ago along with some decorations and other goodies and would you believe, they received a call from him Saturday that the tree arrived in Saudi Arabia, where he is stationed and someone even had some lignts for it so they were going to have a real Christmas tree, tnanxs to the Stuntz and Hochstetlers, which will certainly make their Christmas much happier and brighter. Remember the good old days when you could go down town in South Bend and visit and shop at Robert son’s Department Store,
