They carried bouquets of yellow and bronze straw and starflowers and baby's breath with streamers of ivory Venetian lace.

Ena Meza, McHenry*s Amer­ ican Field Service student who is from Peru, was among guests present at dinner and an interesting evening recently at the home of Mrs. Lee Firth (former district representa­ tive of AFS) in Crystal Lake. Others were Anna Maria Bar- bosa Of Brazil, one of Crystal Lake's AFS students this year; Mrs. Firth's daughter and son-in-law, Betty and Ralph Sennot (Betty is a former AFS president of the Crystal Lake student chapter) and guest of honor, John Sterling from Crys­ tal Lake, who is a member of the Peace corps. John's last as­ signment, for two years, was spent in the Dominican Repub­ lic. He is on a one-month leave at present following which he will be stationed in Peru. Those present viewed slides of South America which gave the girls a warm feeling of belonging. One of Ena's com­ ments, however, was that she was a bit embarrassed about the fact that these American born people were more fam­ iliar with her country than she. It was determined that they had travelled more extensively and actually visited these historic places while she had only a reading knowledge of many of them. Ena was happy to meet such charming people who knew -and talked about her home land. She had a fine time, including some conversation in Spanish with John Sterling. The American Field Service hopes that as many as possible will avail themselves of the op­ portunity to visit with Ena per­ sonally. Through this contact the foreign student will gain a broader view of American ways and life and at the same time Americans who meet and host these teen-agers will gain a better understanding of people from other nations.

PG. 2 - PLAINDEALER NOV. 5, 1969 Reflectin' over a few years back, how I protested when the word went out,t' "Spend! Spend! Spend!" and I jest couldn't, fer the life o' me, see how a country, or anybody could git rich, a spendin* like mad. I kin re­ member sayin' that in a few years we'd see how wrong it was and then it might be too late t' mend the matter. Well, t'day we hear, from Washington, the word t' hold back wi' the spendin' and try t' git along wi' less. It's too bad that things have t' git into sich straits, afore someone comes along wi* some good common sense, and triest' cor­ rect the mess we're in. Seems like folks have gotten used t' havin' so much, it ain't goin* t' be so easy t' put the idea of economisin* in their minds. So, the only real lesson may be another time, like we had durin' the depression, when we all learned t' be thankful for a dish o' porridge. I kin recall some purty hard times, whenye couldn't buy a job, 'cause nobody had money t' pay wages. The only ones that got along fair like, wuz the ones who had jobs with the big companies that ser­ ved us wi' major utilities, and even some o* them wuz let go, fer the reason that folks went wi'out telephones, and even used oil lamps t* save as much as they could fer food and lodgin'. Them were pretty hard times, an they lasted a long time. It's taken us many years & poor management o' the coun­ try's funds, t' git the finan­ cial conditions in the fix they're in, and we don't need f ex­ pect things t' right themselves right quick. It Jist cain't be done. It's like a body gittin' sick. It ususally takes a long time t' develop somethin' real serious, an' so, it takes time t' git cured, an' sometimes the disease is fatal. The best thing I kin think of is t' stick right behind the solid thinkin' 0* our leaders who are a tryin' t' git us out o' the muddle. Wi' all the backin' an* cooperation they kin git, we're bound t' feel the recov­ ery in due time. If we ever do git straightened out, I jist hope an* pray that folks've learned a good lesson, and don't go spendin' them­ selves silly, a gittin' inter debt and livin' beyond their means again. It ain't no fun when some- thin' happens and the bills cain't be met. As the sayin' goes, "A stitch in time, saves nine," and that applies t' the pocket- book o* us all, includin'the gov­ ernment. Grandma Radtke Roaring Twenties Proceeds Benefit Lake Community PATTI JEAN YOUNG The Woman's Club of Won­ der Lake will have its second annual dinner-dance on Satur­ day, Nov. 15, at the McHenry Legion home.
