PAGE 2-PIAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1971 * Grandma Sez ... MR. AND MRS. RICHARD G. PARKER. JR. MARRIED RECENTLY -- Miss Debra Lynn Ohlson and Mr. Richard G. Parker. Jr.. were married Saturday. Nov. 27, in a 4 o'clock afternoon ceremony performed in Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church. McHenry. Miss Ohlson is the daughter of Mrs. Nancy Ohlson of 11816 W. YYaukegan road. McHenry. and Mr. Parker is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard G. Parker, Sr., of :i!20 E. Lake Shon* drive. Wonder Lake. The newlyweds are residing in the Kane avenue apartments. The bride attended McHenry high school. The bridegroom is a 69 graduate of th^same school and is employed in Crystal Lake. Seems t' me that those in control o' oih1 government are findin' it more difficult ever' day, t' discover more things t' tax. It 'ppears t' this ol' lady that their<junnin' out o' sources o' what it takes t' pay fer the extravaganzas which we find ourselves knee-deep in. As it becomes increasing more of a hardhsip, t' meet the cost o' jist gittin' by. Taxes take a bigger bite out o' our supper money, day by day. It used t' be a pleasurable time, a gittin' ready t' celebrate the lovely Christmas time, buyin' a few things fer the little ones an' a gift fer special members o' the family, and friends. Somehow, the spirit 's gone out o' it, an' it's become a chore fer many o' us, an' the reason is, I'm convinced, that the pocket-book feels the strain"; takin' long inter the New Year t' recover. This beautiful birthday celebration shouldn't have that effect on folks. It wasn't meant t' be that way, an' it's too bad that we let monetary influences create sich a monster out o' the blessed Christmas season. Many folks feel this way' an' little by little they seem t' see the fallacy o' their ways o' the past Yule seasons. Now, it's jist like what's happened in our governin' Town-Country Newcomers Mlss F,tz®erald In College Choir Enjoy Christmas Dinner The McHenry Town and Country Newcomers enjoyed their second annual dime-a-dip buffet Christmas dinner and party Wednesday evening at the Johnsburg Community club.

Veal isn't usually broiled be­ cause. though tender, it has little or no fat, as compared with ma ture beef Some fat is necessary in meat when it's broiled. There­ fore, moist heat is necessary in cooking veal, and braising is rec­ ommended. This process also helps develop the delicate flavor of veal. Christmas Concert Pamela Anne Fitzgerald, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Fitzgerald of 7602 Howe drive, Wonder Lake, is a member of the combined choral groups that presented the School of Music's annual Christmas choral concert in Presser hall at Illinois Wesleyan university Sunday, Dec. 12.

Nancy Larkin With College Chorus On T.V. spurgeons CHRISTMAS MADNESS 9:00 p.m. - 12:00 p.m. THURSDAY, DEC. 23 Nancy Larkin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Larkin of 1409 N. Draper road, McHenry, appeared with the Rosary college chorus Sunday mor­ ning, Dec. 19 on WMAQ-TV, Channel 5. The 30-minute pre-recorded show featured light popular and traditional yuletide songs acted out in spirited scenes. The 65-voice women's chorus was directed by Gregory Konold, the chorus' director for thirty-five years. The program came about through a letter which Rosary students wrote to NBC. "We just said we were a women's 4 bodies, the more they git from the people, the more they spend, 'till they bury us in debts, which we can never catch up wi\ They tell us we need this an' that, an' we, like sheep follerin' the leader, accept the burdens they heap on us, an' we don't beller loud enough, 'til we begin hurtin'. Jist like the Christmas givin', which has become a burden, a tryin't' keep up wi' it, all the luxuries we have, an' many o' which we don't need, 're finally a catchin' up wi' us, an' the officials can't find new ways o' bleeding' the turnip. It behooves us all, t' use common sense, in every phase we find ourselves involved in. 1 When the word wenrout t' buy on credit, I protested, loud an' long, an' predicted the results. Our government has set a bad example fer the people, borrowin't' pay fer things we should ha' gone wi'out. In my mind, charity begins at home, an' then ye kin hand out what ye don't really need. But if all the nations cared fer their own, an' tended t' business t' be concerned wi' their own progress, promotin' the development o' their people, t' raise 'em above the level o' warriors, teachin' the Golden Rule, which applies t' every human bein' on the face o' this earth, an' not lettin' greed an' lust be the guidin' influence, this world'd be a better place afore ye'd know it. The Christian Spirit invades the heart o' man, at this season o' the year, but it ain't wise t' go overboard, a tryin' t' impress the world how generous ye are. Concern fer those in trouble, smiles an' salutations fer those who're fit an' able, an' a cheerful attitude t' brighten the Wonder Lake Man Claims Bride Dec. 18 A wedding of interest was solemnized in St. John's Lutheran church, Lannon, Wis., Saturday, Dec. 18, when Barbara Yanz of Woodside lane, Menomonee Falls, Wis., became the bride of Brian O'Connor of 7808 W. Chestnut, Wonder Lake. They repeated their nuptial vows before Pastor W.T. Kreuger at the 1 o'clock services. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Yanz of Menomonee Falls, Wis., and the bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George O'Connor of Wonder Lake. The pretty bride chose a floor length gown of white crepe which featured long sleeves, empire waist and a chapel length train. Pearl and sequin trim enhanced the waistline, sleevjps, neckline and bodice. Her floor length veil was at­ tached to a pearl encrusted headpiece. Jane Stanislowski of Menomonee acted as maid of honor. Bridesmaids were Barbara Bernhardt and Anita Jacobitz of Milwaukee. The brides's sister, Julie, served as junior bridesmaid. The junior bridesmaid and maid of honor wore Juliet styled dresses in red velvet with gold trim at the waist, sleeves and neckline. The bridesmaids wore similar dress in dark green velvet. chorus and we wanted to do a Christmas program on TV", said Mary Spenner, a senior at Rosary and president of the chorus.

Riverside Dr. 385-0297 McHenrv dark corners o' the lives o' others, mean a lot more than material gifts. A nice letter, frorti someone who took the trouble t' write, seems more beautiful, t' this ol' lady, than the most expensive greetin' card. An' a little pot-holder, from someone who made it wi' her own hands, is a precious gift, compared wi' an ex­ pensive something, which took money that could ha' been spent fer necessary things. I kin remember my Papa, tellin' o' the little bag o' candy, an apple, an' a new pair o' socks 'r shoes which made his Christmas, when he wuz a boy. Now adays, our appetites 're so sophisticated, the little common things don't seem t' mean much, but, I'm a tellin' ye, from experience, that the little things play the big part in our human existence. Put them in the foreground, an' make em important, an' see how much better the world looks. Some folks 're always a wantin' somethin', an' git themselves in debt, a tryin' t' satisfy those wants. Same wi' our politicians, an' those in charge o' the country's finances. They run the country, like some folks run their lives, wi' credit cards, an' borrowin' fer the things they never should a become involved wi'. It ain't wise, an' we look t' those who're in charge, t' use wisdom in operatin' our finances. The example they set, is followed by our people. Like a big father, our government influences us all. Maybe it's time fer the people, t' set the example fer governmental officials, an' use common sense, when it comes t' managin' the family pocket- book, along wi' the money we hand out, in taxes, fer them t' fritter away. There's a lesson, both ways, an' it's late t' try an' correct the mistakes. GRandma Radtke Terry O'Connor of Wonder Lake served his brother as best man. Groomsmen were Louis Cheplak of Janesville, Wis., and Dave Woerpel of Waukesha, Wis. For her daughter's wedding, Mrs. Yanz chose a pale blue dress and coat ensemble. The groom's mother wore a pale pink coat dress. After the ceremony, a reception for 125 guests was held at Lohmann's Steakhouse in Menomonee Falls. The bride attended Milton college for one year and the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee for one and a half years. She is employed as a clerk-typist. The groom received a B.A. degree from Milton college, Milton, Wis., and is presently serving in the Army. The newlyweds are making their home at 3400 N. Gordon Place, Milwaukee. BOOOOOPOOOOOOC 8 Jd^s Daughters Members and guests of McHenry Masonic Lodge No. 158 were treated to a Christmas party Tuesday, Dec. 7, by the members of Bethel 98, In­ ternational Order of Job's Daughters. The theme for this evening was ','Let's Build Bridges of Friendship". This was also Revelation Night for the men of the Masonic order. Last September each Jobie drew the name of a Mason and since then has secretively done good deeds for this person. The night of revelation climaxed this fun activity. Following the regular Masonic meeting, games were played.

Green St. Phone McHenry 385-6750 Senior Citizens Host Special Dinner Guests The long awaited annual McHenry Senior Citizens club Christmas dinner and party is now but a pleasant memory. The guest list included Mayor and Mrs. Doherty, Rev. and Mrs. Olson of the Chain-Of- Lakes Evangelical Covenant church, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Paulousky, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Cooper and Mr. and Mrs. Becker. The Mayor brought greetings from the city of McHenry to the club; Mr. Paulausky and Mr. Cooper brought greetings from the school board. The dinner was superb and the tables looked lovely with individual table favors of partridges and snowmen. The centerpieces were greens and decorative candles. The hall was festooned with gay garlands and dangling ornaments and the Christmas tree was artistically trimmed. The santa figure was an added attraction to the festiveness of the evening. It was an evening for gaiety and fun, so all regular business was tabled until the January meeting. Honored guests spoke briefly; however, Mayor Doherty complimented the club on its growth and its usefulness to the community. He par­ ticularly ,commended the kitchen band on its popularity and the entertainment and happiness it has brought to so many, particularly the old people's homes, nursing homes, hospitals, church and club groups. It was a coin­ cidence that a letter was recently received by the "Kitchen Band's Version of Lawrence Welk", from Lawrence Welk, com­ plimenting him and the band, and telling the band he hopes to have the pleasure of hearing and seeing the band perform. As Eleanor Crawford played the piano following dinner, members and guests had the opportunity and privilege of contributing cash gifts to the very beautiful Santa Claus stocking. This "sharing - or giving" march netted enough money to purchase two ad­ ditional wheelchairs for the Valley-Hi Nursing home. The program of the evening was presented by the Wood­ stock barbershop quartet and men's singing group was a very lovely and interesting program, enjoyed by everyone. Members of the bowling teams surprised Louise and Frank Giel with a gift in ap­ preciation for all the work they have done these past few years. There will be no meeting of the Senior Citizens club until Jan. 10. George Binder reminded the members there will be a bus trip to the Chicago loop Jan. 12 and one Jan. 26, the bus leaving the McHenry State bank parking lot at 8:45 a.m. Reservations should be made with Louise Giel promptly. The first meeting in January will include nomination and election of officers, followed by a games party. The second meeting will be the installation of new officers. flOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCfc ' Coming * Events ooooooooooooooooocw DECEMBER 31 New Year's Eve Dance - Checker Board Squares.

ITEM: What ever happened to the ham in hamburgers? It never was there. This all American fa­ vorite was named not for the meat, but for the citizens of the German seaport, Hamburg. In trading with Russian Baltic pro­ vinces, they were introduced to red meat, shredded with a dull knife. The people of Hamburg. were so fond of this dish that it gradually acquired the name of their city.
