29,1949 M i EARL R. WALSH Christmas was merry--a merfy whirl. m «cH*mtT plaoiduijr Tor two years a-ruimia' we didn't get a pair of socks. One fellow saw to it that we got some high class classes for serving drinks ^nd paid us a visit to be fcure we knew how to use them. Jteld Santa must have a wonderful memdry. Every kid we meet ;o£ just what he ordered tor S"ir istmas. It's plain nonsense to'worry so much about the selection of gifts. It*a always Just what the recipients always wanted anyhow. Now, if we can get hy New Year's Day all will be well. On Christmas, people try to see how uMch thev can give. Come New rears and they try- to see how mttch they can take. . " Fred Meyer, a fellow with- ideas for sports promotion, wants all Foresters to get their entries in for the third Annual Bowling Ijpurnanjent. Entries close Jaa. 7. In looking over bowling scores you will see some good ones, but cast your eyes at that 657 rolled Ml Herb Fantus. Hup Smith's 628 and Ed Peisert's 626 are further evidence that McHenry has some nifty bowlers in the ranks. When Joe Regner stepped on one of these talking scales recently the weight needle refused to work and out came a voice "One person at a time, please." Well, that's what we heard! Had a nice note from "Ma" BAnich. Says she enjoys ^ "Daily Jroups" each Week. " BOWLING NOTES -- McHenry Recreation -- Majors -- Carlson Oil, 2--Blatr, I. Cynowa, 525; R.

Toi > help Verne Harrison get free Some night so he can see a asketball game. Not to get that look on our map "when we see the girls wearing Straw hats and toe-less shoes In zero weather. A request has come in, asking that we reprint the following, which was listed in resolutions Averal years ago: m' PROMISE YOIRSKLF Toi be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. TO look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work #only for the best and expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about yourself. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater artiievei ments of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself tha. you have no time to criticize others. be too large for worry, top noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happv to permit the presence of trouble. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Bygone Byword Even in 1883, "Where did you get that hat,?" was a favorite remark directed to anyone wearing an oddlooking chapeau. In that year the^ question was asked in a play written by Joseph Sullivan entitled, f Where Did You Get That Hat?" The phrase soon became a popular byword. Subscribe for The 1'iaindealer. V. F. W.

Sert «f The department store salesman said afterward he thought it was too good to last When the lady came in to look at some ridios he showed ber a fairly cheap model. "No," she said, '*1 want something a little more expensive." But the $100 model be showed her next didn't suit ber. Thinking of a fat commission he escorted her to the $600 model. He beamed happily when she said that that wa« just what she wanted. "And before you send it out'* she instructed him, "please have it converted to gas."

HAPPY NEW YEAR! rm ON REMOV1N HOLIDAY CANDY STAINS GIVEN WBONG UNI DOn't get discouraged if ' your child gets candy stains o^ those new party clothes. Some easy-todo steps will get those stains out at home, says Miss Florence Kbg, textiles and clothing specialist, University of Illinois College of Agriculture. For a candy stain which contains sugar and no fat, use water. Dip a toothbrush into lukewarm water, and tap the stain with th«> brush to get the water completely through it. Then dry with -a chamois. i "Always work with the grain of the cloth," Miss King cautions. Follow th« lengthwise or crosswise yarns while tapping the Water into the cloth while dry~ ing K. If the 8tain is sugar and ~*fat (such as fudge), remove the sugar first, following the above pro-i cedure. Then, to remove the fat, tap the stain with carbon tetrachloride or other solvent, using a toothbrush and the same movements as above. To prevent a ring, dry the cloth with a chamot*, ; r , Wees ffer Apples " No other fruit equals the apple in the variety of its use.

"May I have your tickets?" ha asked politely. The young man fumbled In his pocket and handed the conductor his marriage license without looking at it. The conductor looked at It and smiled. "You certainly got a ticket for a long journey," he conceded, "but not on this line."
