First, all of McHenry's Roary Anns, sometimes know as wives of Rotarlans, were invitx\ and their presence made it r* gala affair. The selected program suited the occasion to perfection --Bible reading Interwoven with songs around the world, presented by the talented family, the Roy Kisslings. All Rotarians had been urged to bring a Christmas present for the children at the Woodstock Children's home, for delivery following luncheon. Members came well laden, as hey knew the children were expecting them --a tradition ')v now. Torchy Krause is the "spark plug" for the Rotarians on this project and an inspiration to the children. Two Rotarians went along as helpers and learned that at present there are forty-nine children ranging in age from 8 to 18 years. All were renembered. After the deliveiy of the packages, which were gratefully accepted by the staff of the home, members continued on to the last cull, thi» Valley Hi Nursing home in Hmm limit, it was a ploHNnnt hui'IU'Iho lit one of the RntMi'lmiii whn Win visiting the home fur tilt* 11 ltd time, to find HtH'h ?ommod'itl<,nn in utirh « Ih'iul 'y atmosphere, • were served MttMH'Vi'la visited with Niilittf (if lilt* I't'Nl1 dents of the hnnif wltn Min from the McHenry community FOOD STAINS Holiday food stains can make your tabie linen as ><nd a sight as a turkey carcass. But if you work fast while you know what made the stain and before it sets in the fabric, the cloth can be as good as new for another celebration. Mrs. Ruth Galbraith, a University of Illinois home economist, recommends using these procedures: To remove cranberry stain, stretch the stained area over a bowl and pour boiling water from a teakettle held about three feet above the cloth. The water should strike the cloth with force. Now wash the cloth in a synthetic detergent and hot water. D< not use soap because soans set some fruit and >erry stains. If the stain remains and the "loth is colorfast, sprinkle sodium perborate on the wet stained area and pour a small amount of very hot water through the stain. Rinse well. You can get sodium perborate it a drugstore. Spilled coffee shouldn't spoil vrur day because you can remove coffee stains in this same way. But change your method before working on stains made »y meat juices, gravies or :reain. Because hot water sets hese stains, sponge them with ^old or lukewarm water and then wash in warm, so;<py water. Don't let fear of spaitered wax keep you from using candles. S'mply scrape off as much wax as possible with a dull knife and then wash the •inen in hot. soapy water. If I he candles are colored, remove any remaining dye stain by bleaching.

A s h o r t e r r e d p o i n s e t t i a awaits yuletide shoppers at many florist shops this year. According to J. B. Gartner, University of Illinois floriculturist, the plants have the ;ame number of leaves as they have always had. But the incrnodes are shorter, resulting n a short, Compact plant with darker green leaves than the normal poinsettia. Credit for the new look goes o a new chemical dwarfing agent designated CCC. Plant growers apply this substance early in the poinsettia plant development. The CCC controls the plant height without reducing the bract ("flower") s ze. The chemical also has no undesirable effect on the keepng quality of the plant. Before this year, norists often attempted to improve the locks of poinsettia plants by one of two methods: folding l ack the stems and tying them together or pinching the buds in the early stages of growth. However, these methods did not produee ideal results in all eases. With t^e chemical, reults are consistent. Men grow trees for profit, itut seem to save expressions of awe for those that grow wild.

Putting the danger of excess poundage in simple terms, we might start with a group of 36 men in their 40s, 18 thin .md 18 fat. At 50, barring oiitside causes of death, there will still be 18 thin men, but .nly 12 of their beefier brothers. At 80, six of the lean men can still expect to be around, but only two of the meaty mes will survive. Thus, excess weight creates a 3 to 1 odds against a long life. There aren't odds long enough to cover your chance )f getting less than outstanding prescription service at MILLSTREAM DRUGS, INC.
