Mother, Sister 2 And Her Children It Pays to Advertise CLUB AFTERGLOW PROVES POPULAR ' WITH PEOM COUPLES After the prom on Saturday evening, graduates and their guests enjoyed a party a't the McHenry Country club, where Jthey were thrilled by Nick Noble, the well-known recording star. The Afterglow is planned by a committee of students under the sponsprship of the Kiwanis cluS of McHenry Township and this year, the newly formed McHenry Kiwanis club. The V.F.W., as usual, not only shares in this sponsorship but furnishes a very personal service in that the auxiliary provides a 5 a.m. breakfast for the group. The evening's entertainment proved to be just what they liked. Besides Mr. Noble, there was Priscilla Holbrook as mistress of ceremonies and organist. She did a fine job of introducing the acts and furnished light comedy touches as well as a more romantic atmosphere. The Visionaires proved a popular vocal group and Nip Nelson was well liked also. Sandi Sells, as chairman, and Dick Voss, as co-chairman, proved veterans at arranging the program and seeing that things went smoothly. Anyone seeing these 100 or more young people and their "dates" had a feeling of pride and confidence in the future. TTley enjoyed themselves immensely, in a dignified and refined way. Ann Lundborg, Mary Etheridge and Grace Weideman added to the evening by contributing their own talents in vocal numbers. Chuck Coles and Dr. Comes worked hard to make this event outstanding. More or less superfluous were the couples who were "chaperoning." These kids certainly needed no chaperones but the dictates of propriety and good manners demanded they be present. Among the chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Peterson, co-presidents of the Community F.T.A.,.. Mr. and Mrs. Gregory of the McHenry Kiwanis clijb, Mr. ahd Mrs. George Pedersen, Mr. and lVIrs.

Experienced home handymen urge particular caution when buying -wood from a wrecked building. Give each piece the "heft" and "stab" tests: First, pick it up; second, jab it with a sharp tool. If the weight seems exceptionally light, and/or if the tool sinks in deeper and more easily than you would ordinarily expect, reject the piece. It may be termite- ^ ridden; hence, unsound. • • • EFFICIENCY is an American trait; as typically American as the success story--and a contributing factor therein. Any way of doing things that saves time and money makes for progress. Millions of Americans welcome the checking account jjffi service offered by America's banks precisely because it does save them time (checks can be safely mailed).. .and save them money (the coA of special trips and the risks of carrying cash are eliminated).
