Old fashioned fourth lights up Oak Park for Bicentennial
Residents of Anderson's Oak Park addition near Raible Avenue staged a full day July 4 tribute with a 11118 parade, porch picnic, magic acts, and games. Arlene Perlman led planning, with support from two neighbors, as Mr. and Mrs. Oak Park won best decorated home. The event echoed since 1964, earning quiet praise from locals and a nod from the presidency decades earlier. The article recalls simpler times and enduring community spirit in Oak Park.

Practical tips from a long married geologist about staying cool in hot weather.

Greenery, awnings, and lighter upholstery aid cooling. For those seeking the Nine Day Gaining Diet, send a stamped self addressed envelope to Josephine Lowman in care of The Herald.
