DALE HINSPATER At (312) 697-6262 For The Best Deal Around in MOTOR HOMES TRAILERS CAMPERS * CITY Grove Ave. at National Elgin, Illinois, 60120 Excellent Cast Plays To Small Opening Audience Take a scatterbrained, capricious wife who lives ac­ cording to her own special rules. Add a matter-of-fact husband and a sensitive, logical lover and you have a highly comical situation. In the persons of Mavourneen Scolaro of Woodstock, William Keller of Streamwood and Michael Kassin of Harvard, they comprise the major part of action in "The Little Hut", current production of McHenry's Dinner Theatre group at the McHenry Country club. The dilemma that results when a husband deceived for six years learns his slightly zany wife has been unfaithful, leads to a series of amusing and many times surprrSfng situations. The action is on a lonely island where the three have ample time to ponder their future. - When a Danish ship's cook (Kelly Goins of McHenry) makes his appearance, hilarity results, climaxed by a deafening -- well, we wouldn't think of spoiling your fun by telling too much. With all due respect for some fine amateur performances we have seen, cast members of "The Little Hut" are in another class. The crowd was far too small opening night, but those who did attend generously expressed appreciation for a very professional cast of unusually talented people. A.F.

JOHN DEERE FARM FRONTIER SHOW LUNCH - - • 11:30 a.m. SHOW • • • 12:30 p.m. FREE! • Ballons & Popcorn HUNTLEY FARM STORE Rte. 47, Huntley A sittin' here, in me ol' rockin' chair, ponderin' o'er the Sunday sermon, me mind 's sortin' out th' diff'rent varieties o' fear we develop, in a lifetime. We say, sometimes, that we ain't afeared, but that ain't so. There's natural fears we have fer self-pertection. Seems that a healthy amount o' that ingredient 's needed in ev'ry character. Wi'out it we're endangerin' ourselves. We pertect ourselves wi' a goodly amount toward wrong doin', fer reasons o' wantin't' do right, 'r the consequences o' the op­ posite. Natural fears ain't harmful, but the fears brought about wi' a tryin't' live in a society, so fraught wi' the problems o' th' day, c'n be the cause o' serious reactions t' health 'n well- being'. Seems that we become fearful o' somethin' 'r other, ever' day o' our lives. Now, that's where we need t' turn t' a livin' faith in the workin's o' the Great Power. There's consolation in the knowjn' that we're all in the same boat, so's t' speak. There's a certain amount o' fallacy in leavin' ever'thin' t' God, seems t' me, and the ol' sayin', "God helps 'em as helps 'emselves," rings true t' me understandin', fer the fact that we're giv'n the ability t' reason. But trust in the Lord's way, no matter what faith ye foller, an' strivin' fer truth an' honesty c'n be effective in relievin' much o' the fears, playin' a big part in th' lives o' a lot o' folk t'day. It comes t' me mind that understandin' is the most important part o' bein' able t' cope wi' the things that trouble our lives. Sometimes, seem 's though we're plagued beyond our ability t' abide 'em. The part that understandin' plays, is t' realize that nothin' stands still, that ever'thin' 's changin' constantly, an' even Ol' Man Trouble can't live ferever. Faith an' trust that there's a good road ahead, c'n help t' relieve the bumps in the hard road we're travelin'. Grandma Radtke Refinishing Classes Will Aid Homemakers How do vou get the old stuff off? Is there an easy way? How do you reglue wood? Can you finish a piece in one day? "Patience! Take your time and be patient," says Bob Vieregg when redoing a prized furniture piece. That way you'll always be proud of the completed job. Bob Vieregg, furniture refinishing hobbyist, answered questions from twenty-five county women recently, and demonstrated paint and var­ nish removing. That was the first of Furniture Refinishing programs sponsored by the McHenry County Cooperative Extension service. Vieregg's hints for furniture refinishing included using a good liquid finish remover for the quickest and easiest job, use plenty of it, protect the floor and surface where working, and be in a well-ventilated area. There is no easy way to furniture refinishing, just time, patience, care andpride in good work. , Furniture refinishing does not require fancy or special tools. The homeowner may have most if not all of them on hand. Essentials include newspaper, old paint brush (for applying finish remover), old putty knife (for removing the finish remover), string or twine (to help get in the crevices), old clothes and rubber gloves (to protect you), steel wool and-or sandpaper for smoothing, rags. Everyone attending the classes received the book "Scrub, Rub and Wax -- In­ structions for Refinishing Antiques Written for the Beginner". The book includes removal, staining, sealing, patching, suggestions for work­ manship, and other helpful hints. Scrub, Rub and Wax, written in New England, em­ phasizes the methods and techniques of the New England craftsmen. Vieregg is presenting the classes at the Farm Bureau auditorium, Woodstock. Those who would like more in­ formation should call Pat Sullivan, McHenry County Extension Adviser Home Economics at 338-4747. NEW SENATE Senator Charles H.
