Too Many Signs

To The Editor: I live in La Grange, and notice that a business is posting signs all over the city which makes it look bad. I am dealing with the city, but ask that you please take up your signs, and do not destroy our community with your trashy signs.

Love Gardening Column

Volunteer Fire Departments Need Your Support

On a Date With My Brother

In 1956, I was a teenager living on the farm. I was a freshman in high school and really had no way of getting anywhere because I didn’t have a driver’s license.

He took me too many functions such as movies, dances, numerous church picnics in Ammannsville, Dubina, Plum, Holman and dances at Swiss Alp Hall.
