Van was imposed with the ;wild, forbidding, beautiful country, but was glad to get back to our tender green landscape. The trip covered two weeks and 2,665 miles. An unexpected delight on the return trip came when they stopped to view the Mt. Rushmore memorial. A new memorial is in process near Custer, S. E>., which will show Crazy Hwse, (he's the Injun who led the attack on Custer) mounted on his horse, carved out of a mountain side. This carving is, done with bulldozer and jack hammer and will be 641 ft. long and higher than the Washington monument.

My mother and father think it's too young but parents don't know everything, do they? I say I'm not too young. What do you think? -- Just Wondering of Md. DEAR J. W.: Which is it? You're speaking of three different ages but only refer to one girl. A girl of 12 Is too young even for dances for eighth graders but girls of IS and 14 qualify for the "pre-teen" dances. You don't think you're too young because you're one of the ages you wrote about. However, juniors and seniors don't want 12, IS and 14-yeairolds cluttering up their dance floor and I don't blame them. Your time Willi come in another two or three years. DEAR DAN: My name is Susan and I'm 18. I would like your opinion on something very important. I've been going with this same fellow for three years and I love him very much. We agree on everything and find that no matter where we go, we always hstvfe a good time. Recently at work I met this other fellow and we became good friends. He asked me out but I refused because I don't think it would be fair to him if we dated. I like him just as a friend. The girls at work think this is very foolish of me but I just don't care to go out with him. They think I should date other fellows. What do you think? -- Sue. DEAR SUE: The girls at worn don't know anything about this, I'm afraid. After three years of going with your boy friend, - you two either do love one another or you've become a very routine habit. I don't know which one would apply but as long as you don't feel you want to date others, don't. DEAR DAN: The boys at school here have gotten the word about my actions at the school I used to attend and overnight their attitude toward me has changed. They used to treat me as a lady but now they say obscene things to me and make my life miserable. I got in with the wrong group of kids about a year ago and pretty soon I was known around school as a "fast" girl. I'm not making any excuses for myself because everything the boys here know about me is true. Later on in the school year, last year, I was expelled because of what was going on and then this year I came to live with my aunt and uncle. I thought things would be different but now I don't know. I realize my mistakes of the past can never be forgotten but shouldn't they be hushed up? I'm awfully discouraged and feel the best think might be for me to drop out of school. Please tell me what to do. -- Discouraged. DEAR DISCOURAGED: If your aunt and uncle go to your principal and raise enough commotion, the noise they make will drown out whatever is now being said about you. I don't care what a girl has done in the past, if she's trying to make a clean start, she should be given that opportunity. Boys who insult you aren't much of a credit to .their own families and if they don't know that basic fact, then your principal should tell them so. DEAR DAN: Would it be all right to give this girl I like a small locket or charm bracelet just to show my feelings? We're not old enough for dating but I thought a little gift might help here. -- Anxious. DEAR ANXIOUS: Your actions around the girl will show here that you like her and you'll save yourself some possible embarrassment. The locket or charm bracelet might have to be returned if her parents object and rattier than risk that, just show her how much yon like her. NUCLEAR WEAPONS EFFECTS ARE TOLD TO LARGE CROWD In spite of the wind and r a i n - m i x e d - w i t h - s n o w s t o r m last Thursday night, a large gathering of parents and teachers were present for the informative program on civtl defense and fall-out shelters presented by the McHenry Community P.T.A. at the Junior high school. Carl J. Gonstantino, a research scientist from the Armour Foundation, briefly mentioned the three effects of nuclear weapons, mainly the initial blast, the thermal (or heat) reaction, and nuclear or fall-out of radioactive dust. He went on to explain that residual radiation is effected by local conditions such as proximity to blast area and wind direction. Shelters in this area would be built primarily for protection against radioactive dust and at this time, there are many questions to which even the scientists in this field have no answer. For instance, the filter which is your only supply for oxygen, can in time become contaminated to the point that it would conduct radiation instead of pqre air, by collecting particles. He mentioned two books 'which are excellent sources of information and these are "Effects of Nuclear Weapons," which is distributed by the federal government, and "Designs to Resist Nuclear Weapons Effects," available at book stores. John Shay, McHenry Township civil defense director, explained the organization which would be our protection or assistance in the event of a nuclear blast or other form of disaster. After the addresses by both men, a question and answer session was held with one pertinent fact brought forth. According to McHenry township and county codes, no blast shelters can be constructed above the ground. This leaves either the underground variety or basement type. Specifications for these may be obtained from Mr. Shay. Cider and doughnuts were served by Mrs. De lores Leonard and her committee. The first California Missions had thatched roofs, setting the stage for several destructive fires. Tile roofs were used in replacement, thus starting the current style in our Southwest.

Wholesale raids of horse thieves along the Lake county border line, sweeping from village to village and looting barn after barn, daring capture and even death in marauding by what is evidently an organized gang of thieves. Have aroused the southern and western part of Lake county as never before. The last raid Monday night netted the thieves ten horses. t The youngsters, as well as a few of the older "kids", are already laying their plans for next Tuesday night, Halloween. To be on the safe side, you had better lock up your belongings on that night. The first real frost of the season visited McHenry and vicinity Monday night. Thin coatings of ice were found on many water pails that were left in the open. Those who keep a record of the weatherj proclaim thai we may now look for Indian summer. j Quite a number of farmers in different sections, who have stored away hay for the winter feed, are now removing the t i m o t h y f r o m t h e b a r n s a n d threshing it. As they are receiving $5 and $6 a bushel for the seed, which only a few years ago was retailing at $1.50 a bushel, they are getting big returns for their work. FORTY YEARS AGO Taken from the Files of Oct. 20, 1921 The reporter for the Plaindealer visited the Bostwick Pearl Fisheries south of town last week, and found that their regular work had been completed for the summer. During the spring, summer and fall between 10,000 and 11,000 clamg have been operated on. Thd plant is now being enlarged in preparation for next season. Neighbors and friends of Mrs. J. B. Bugs tendered her a pleasant surprise at hci home on Waukegan street, Friday evening, the occasion being her birthday. Games and music made up an enjoyable evening after which refreshments, brought by the guests, were served. While there are still a few more finishing touches to be | made on the grounds, the 1 Brewery service station is nou | complete and represents one of j the most modern stations of the kind in McHenry county. ' The foundation for the addition to the McHenry ice cream factory, is to be put in this fall so that work on the new structure may be started early next spring. C. Unti, local ice cream manufacturer, treated about twenty of his friends to a "feed" at the McHenry Pleasure club room last evening. Needless to say that the host spared no pains to make the occasion an enjoyable one for his guests.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Taken from the Files of Oct. 15, 1986 Members of McHenry post of the American Legion held their first meeting in their new hall Monday evening, when installation of officers took place. About fifty members, including guests from Algonquin and Woodstock, were present to enjoy the occasion and look over the new Legion home. A pretty October wedding was solemnized at St. John's church, Johnsburg, Wednesday morning, when Miss Helen Michels, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Michels of Johnsburg, became the bride of Frank Young, son of Joe Young of Spring Grove. "Billy" Pries and Felice Unti left Sunday for the east, making the trip with a trailer which Mr. and Mrs. Pries recently purchased. They expect to attend the Tee Cream Manufacturer's convention at Atlantic City and will visit Mr. and Mrs. Henry Foss in New York. They will then visit points of interest, including Washington, D. C., and go on to Florida. They expect to cover about 5,000 miles and be gone about two months. Although it is the middle of October, the flowers are still in bloom and gardens are yielding tomatoes, string beans and other vegetables not yet hurt by the frost. Mrs. Jacob H. Adams reports having picked three quarts of raspberries in her garden this month. Miss Viola Adair.owski, who will become the bride of Mr. William J. Miller Oct. 24, was honored at a pre-nuptial shower given by his sister, Mrs. Jacob Stoffel, Sunday afternoon. A party of friends were entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Sutton Saturday evening, honoring Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Morris on their thirty-f i r s t wedding anniversary. Thursday, Oct. 8, was the occasion for a double celebration at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Smith as it marked their forty-first weddings anniversary and was also the birth date of their nineteenth grandchild. David Leo, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Smith. MARINE LIFE DISPLAY Staff artists at the Illinois State Museum are devising the newest style in display cases for marine life, said Dr. Thorne Deuel, museum director. These artists and craftsmen, in an endless search for authenticity, use novel means to copy watery scenes where fish dwell. The murky quality of Illinois waters creates unique copying problems. The greenery found under water first is painted on the plastic which then forms a backdrop. Fish made of cardboard are placed behind the plastic: lighting puts the finishing touches to the translucent scene. Fish behind the plastic appear as shadow forms of differing density, the museum visitor viewing the foreground display in proper relation to the background. Adding further to the real-life quality of the display, workmen create the effect of rippling water by suspending water in a clear plastic pan over which a light is placed. The pan of water is kept in motion at the top of the box. During vacations, people have to loaf on their own time.
