^Thursday' Dectmbtr 20* 1962 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Page IVlnt McHonry Shores SCRIBE GREETS READERS WITH CHRISTMAS WISH Patt Petersen 385-5425 A In five days we will be cele- ^trating one of the most joyous of all holidays. It comes to us once a year. It comes bringing a star, a manger and a promise. We celebrate it, with laughter, gaily, nurriedness, anticipation and reverence. How often, in our rush of Christmas shopping, decorating and party planning, we forget .the reason for the Christmas Reason. I am sure, however, $tiat none of us will pass the holiday by without taking a minute to remember it's true and very beautiful meaning. May you each enjoy a very pleasant Christmas. Honor Roll I've just had word of two more youngsters who made the ^honor roll. Eoth in the same ^family, in fact. Sandy rand •$Jancy Winters, in the Junior high have received top grades.

When he returned home, however, it was discovered that he had a sli:;ii1 concussion and was taken to the hospital.

McHenry hospital gave a dinner dance as a Christmas present to all their employees. It was held at a country club and there was an orchestra and entertainment.

Christmas Gatherings at Home Most g e t - t o g e t h e r s w o n ' t be for another week yet but I have heard of a few fireside gatherings and pre-Christmas visits. Leah Hogan had a lovely party in her home last Saturday night. Her guests were Mildred Snively, the Rodes, Burgstallcrs, Jack Schaeffer and Nonnan Mediros. Many more of our' homes are looking quite inviting as they are getting all dressed up for Christmas. The Egger family entertained friends at another pre- Christmas party. Their guests were Mr. and Mrs. James Montgomery of Skokie and their two daughters, Linda and Nancy. Darlene and Gordon Hatron spent last Saturday with some Chicago friends, Mr. and Mrs. L. Molinari, who helped them start out the Christmas season with a party. Patt and Bob Petersen visited some newly married friends, Sandy and Gordon Iverson, in their new home in Rolling Meadows. The bride turned out to bo an excellent cook. Mildred Snively made the trip to Western Springs to visit her friends, the Frank Muellers. In Closing -If the column seems rather CARELESSNESS MAY BRING TRAGEDY DURING HOLIDAY Do you want your children to have a Merry Christmas? Seems like a silly question. Christmas is a season when parents go all-out to make ;hiir children happy. But, unfortunately, it's also bare this week just chalk it up as part of the Christmas rush. Please if you are driving to other cities for your Christmas celebrations drive carefully. May you all have the pleasantest Christmas possible. Birthday and Anniversaries Happy birthday today to Mary Ann Winters and Laura Calvert (Mary Ann is 5 and Laura is 6". Dee. 22 is the birthday of Kimberly Ann Olbinski, who will be two years old. May you enjoy your birthdays as much as you wi" Christmas. a season when, some parents thoughtlessly expose their children to possible tragedy. Intentions are the best. But there is Christmas shopping to do, last minute errands to run, perhaps a holiday party in the neighborhood. 'lhe facts are that of the 11,- 500 people who die in fires every year 20 per ceni are children, 5 or under. The high rate of fatalities among children is due in large part to the fact many have been alone in a house when jt caught fire and didn't know what to do. This Christmas, more than four million elementary school pupils are spreading an important reminder to parents: don't leave children home alone, not even for "just a few minutes." The pupils are junior fire marshals who are taking part in a national campaign for a safe Christmas holiday. _Tha junior fire marshal program is a year-round activity sponsored as a public scrvice in 15,- U00 elementary schools by a l e a d i n g i n s u r a n c e compa n y. The program is sponsored locally by Virgil R. Pollock, with the cooperation of school officials and local fire department. Material for the pupils' holiday safety campaign is being carried in the Christmas issue of the Junior Fire Marshal magazine. A story points up the danger of leaving children nome unattended, and a special message to parents urges hem to employ a reliable §iter who can be depended upon o act pror.ip,'y and efficiently :i case cf emergency.
