jr POETS CORNER NO DEPOSIT "No deposit-No return" has made my life chaotic. Bottles, bottles everywhere- Pm getting quite neurotic. Bottles in the cabinets, bottles on the floor- I wish they'd form an army v * ^ and march right out my door. , Why can't I just return them as I once used to do? And have the fun of looking to collect a dime or two. There's only one solution from my world of glass debris- just quench my thirst with H20, And recapture sanity. by La Von B. Dowhin N. THANKS „ We're glad that you could make it, coming down to our "farm". We knew the fresh air and mosquitoes, couldn't do any harm. Bet you felt like Columbus, So far away from home, And were surprised that others from the city roam. So suck in all that fresh air Drink up the water pure, > Nature gave it a touch of iron, No chlorine, that's .for sure. Just listen to the songbirds, Singing you a welcome tune. All them apples and faden grape vines Ought to make you corrte back soon. By that time we'll have string beans, Tomatoes and peppers, too, And ten-inch cucumbers, just for the likes of you. GEORGE PITTNER (The following poem was inspired by a request from TV Weather Forecaster John Coleman for songs based on the fact that it is cooler by the lake.) OH MR. COLEMAN (Sing to the tune of "Oh Mr. Gallagher") Oh Mr. Coleman, Oh Mr. Coleman We know it's cooler by the lake. We live in the boonies, the green, green boonies When it's a hundred, you can bake. Now you have alewives and you have winds, Sometimes it's more than you can take, But Chicagoans are indifferent, don't care if it stinks, Because it's cooler by the lake. Now when it's smoggy, just downright smoky People can't even see the lake, But they crawl all over beaches, the rank and dirty beaches Because it's cooler by the lake. But give me boonies, the fresh air boonies, I don't care even if we bake We turn on air conditioners Keep it nice and cool Oh Mr. Coleman, Mr. Coleman, You can keep the lake George Pittner 2815 N.

Katharine^ Neumann, McHenry county Extension adviser, explains that vacations are designed to allow you to relax and refresh your mind and body from the routine of everyday living. Vacations need not be long, far-away, expensive trips. You can take "mini" vacations alk, summer and still stay close to home and keep the cost low. Picnics, for example, are one of the oldest forms of short vacations. Pack a simple lunch, go to a nearby park or forest preserve and be prepared for a fun-filled, relaxing day. Even a slight ch&ge of scene offers not only enjoyment but also education for the entire family. If you live in the city, you might enjoy visiting a farm or taking a drive in the country. Farm families usually find a weekend trip to a large city exciting and stimulating. There's a lot to see in your own state, so consider touring Illinois. Ask a travel agent for the location of museums, historical sights, zoos and resorts in Illinois. Families with older children might enjoy visiting the state Capitol or various college campuses. If you get off the main roads and highways, you'll probably see more of Illinois and discover quaint, interesting spots. Watch the newspapers for special events, such as fairs, c a r n i v a l s , „ c i r c u s e s , celebrations, corn boils or barbecues, auctions, dog shows, antique shows, in dustrial open houses or sum- merstock theater productions. In addition to enjoying family activities, almost everyone appreciates an occasional, short, private vacation that.'s custom-made just for him. For example, children usually enjoy the opportunity to go someplace by themselves because it makes them feel "grown-up." Let them spend the night at a friend's house, send them to camp or have them visit a relative for a few days. Homemakers generally appreciate a chance to escape the confines of the house and its chores. Tailor-made activities for you include eating out; attending movies, plays, productions and concerts; visiting friends or relatives; or being a camp counselor. In addition, you might find it relaxing to pursue a new hobby, star in the local theater production, accompany your husband on a business trip or take a course at a distant or nearby college. Dad also enjoys escaping the everyday, routine and its pressures. He might take a weekend fishing trip with friends, splurge on taking a short trip with just you, go on an excursion via public tran sportation so he doesn't have to drive, become a camp coun selor or coach a little league baseball team. Or he might find it fun to pursue a new hobby, take a college course or just relax around the house.

Main St. McHenry REDUCE BUILDING COSTS More than $7 million can be saved on construction costs of state university buildings now under consideration, according to Bureau of the Budget Director John W. McCarter Jr. "The costs of university buildings in this state have been too high for years," he declared, "simply because no one has tried to keep the cost low." He said university ad ministrators accepted the builders' and architects' estimates without checking to see if the same facilities could be built more economically, and the state was paying $60 to $70 a square foot while the private sector was constructing similar buildings for much less. The bear like giant panda is really a raccoon! Lemon is one of the most popular summertime taste refresh ers, whether it be as lemonade, a sherbet or as a refreshing cool dessert pie. Bottled lemon juice captures the natural flavor of this sunshine fruit and gives "Lemon Breeze" the fresh lively flavor that inspired its name. A smooth and creamy filling is no trick with sweetened condensed milk; its rich sweet flavor comple ments the tangy lemon. The crust, mixed right in the pie pan, is made using packaged corn flake crumbs. As the base ingredient in this no-bake pie crust is one of many uses for these crisp golden granules made from flaked corn.
