Twenty-nine Luther League members from Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church, McHenry attended the North Chicago Luther League spring rally. Rev. D.D. Johnson of McHenry organized this rally which was held at the Bethal Lutheran church in Palatine. Opening devotions were led by leaguers from Palatine. Following the devotions, a contemporary drama was presented by the "New Phoenix Players". The drama entitled "The Deacon's Meeting" depicted the church of today as it is often seen by others. The singing duo of Cori and Cindy (Cori Wilhelm and Cindy Conrad) both of McHenry, sang three of the songs which they had written, that dealt with their theme of "Communication". The leaguers, who totaled about 300 were then divided into discussion groups. The players were led by members of the "New Fhoenix Players" of Victor Anderson, Barry Stoner, Robert Moser, John Lars- Grandma Sez - - - Well, another "Mother's Day" has come and gone. Folks, everywhere, have tried to show how much they think of their mothers. That is a right good thing 'cause most*, mothers give a great deal of iheirselves to the happiness and comfort o' their families. I wuz thinkin' though, that it would be a right good idee to make a point o' showin' "Mom" the same kind of consideration, everyday o' the year.vBein' a down-right good mother takes a lot o' doin* and the job deserves a right good amount o' help. A loto' mothers try to save the kids, by tryin' to do mosto' the chores herself. I bet my bottom dollar that she'd get the serprise o' her life, if she McHenry Girt Soloist On May Concert Original works composed by Elgin Community college musicians and a host of tunes from Broadway shows and movies will spark the combined spring concert of the ECC band and choir Thursday, May 16. The program is scheduled for 8 p.m. in the Larkin high school auditorium, Larkin avenue and McLean boulevard, Elgin. The program will include an oboe solo by Dolly Myers, of McHenry, arid a variety of band and choral selections. Miss Myers will play the Adagio and Allegro movements of Handel's "Sonata Number One for Oboe". didn't have to ask more than once, to have the necessary help she needs. It'd be a big relief, too, you can wager, if "Mother" didn't have to argue when she issues certain instructions, or disciplinary measures. To my mind, she would be so relieved, and assured that the family wuz a really tryin' to make the home a happy place, that I bet the rewards would serprise some o' the kids. Home is a wonderful place, for most families and they never know the real value o' havin' "Mom and Pop" at the helm until one o' them is mis sin'. I do think, though, that Mom is the important one, in keeping things on an even keel and going along, for everybody concerned. If she gits sick, or hurt, so's she cain't operate things as usual, the family soon finds out how important she is. Anyway, it is fine to have a special day on which to honor the mothers, even though they have existed since Eve. When I was a little girl, we didn't have a "Mother's Day" but I was always a tryin' to show my mom how much I thought o' her. Seemed like, if I made her happy, I wuz twice as happy, myself. A person never has but one mother, and no one else can eve.r take her pikce. Grandma Radtke Announce Engagement t' ' • • *r-# 8*" fer iiilM C -J \ iNGKlD G.
