Another sunny day they boarded a catamaran for a boat trip to the island of St. John. They reported that two thirds of this island contains the Virgin Islands National Park with coral sand beaches and natural foliage. The Willmanns tried a little snorkeling off the boat in the crystal clear waters where you could see fish swimming 50 feet below. Some sightseeing of St. Thomas was also enjoyed with dinner at some of the b e a u t i f u l w a t e r f r o n t restaurants and the discovery of a delicious drink, the Pina Colada, concocted with creme of coconut, pineapple juice and rum. With plans to return to this tropical paradise next year, the trio returned to Chicago in time for Verne to be the deeply sun tanned best man at the wedding of Miss Sheri Berry and Mr. Russ Bean at the Jefferson Park Lutheran Church in Chicago. RECIPE DETAILS When is the last time you prepared your main dish for dinner in six minutes? I guess it's so unbelievable that when I wrote about a recipe for Mock Lobster a few weeks ago, many people told me they were confused about the directions. So I went to the source, Kathy Whalen, and asked her for explicit details and here they are: Put completely thawed codfish or haddock into one inch salted boiling water - boil three minutes and turn - con­ tinue cooking until fish loses its transparency (about two minutes - time will vary because of thickness). Over­ cooking toughens fish. Dip into melted butter or lemon butter as you do lobster. Weight watchers use lemon juice only. YOUNG AT HEARTS CLUB The Chicago Historical Society was one of the places visited by the Young at Heart Club on their recent trip to Chicago. Some described the lunch they were served at the Chicago Park District as "fabulous". Another stop was at the First National Bank where they toured the new building. The view from the fifty-seventh floor was im­ pressive and the sights to be seen included Benton Harbor, Mich., clear across Lake Michigan. President Marie Robinson announced that plans have been made for another trip in April. In addition, many of the Young at Hearters will be traveling to Bloomington to see the Passion Play performed by the Vagabond Travel Agency. The next meeting will be held on March 21 at Christ the King Hall. Members will bring a dish to pass and will honor Mrs. Robinson on the occasion of her seventy-third birthday. EMERGENCY SURGERY Wednesday, March 7, is a day that will be remembered in the George Christoffersen home. About the time that mother, Lillian, arrived home from the hospital with newborn baby, Jesse, another son, Ricky, was admitted to the same hospital. An emergency appendectomy was performed on Ricky that evening and he is now recuperating from the surgery and anxious to return to his Sophomore classes at McHenry high. Get-well cards can be sent to his home at 5620 Sylvan Drive, Wonder Lake. f\ COMMUNITY CALENDAR Sponsored by the Women's Club of Wonder Lake, Ann Sowers, Chairman, 653-9549 March 15 Women's Club Meeting, Nativity Lutheran Church, 8 p.m. talk on meat cuts by butcher March 21 Young at Hearts Meeting, Christ the King Hall March 22 CCYC Meeting, Christ the King Hall March 24 Harrison School Athletic Booster Dance, 8:30 p.m. Christ the King hall March 29 Wonder Woods Women's Auxiliary meeting, east side firehouse, 8 p.m. She Did?

I HONORSTUDENT Nearly 1,800 students at the University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point, have received honors for their scholastic achievement during first semester, Dr. Gordon Hafer- becker, assistant chancellor for academic affairs, has an­ nounced. Stanley Shutek, son of Mr. and Mrs. R.W. Lary of 5121 Fountain lane, McHenry, earned High Honors. To qualify for inclusion on the honor's list, students were required to carry 13 credits and earn about a "B" average. Persons won "honors" status fof gradepoints ranging from 3.2 to 3.49; for "high honors" averages range from 3.5 to 3.74; and for "highest honors" for averages about 3.75. THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT CONSERVING ELECTRICITY Keep your thermostat constant. When you set your thermostat at 70 degrees, your heating system warms your home to that point. Then it automatically turns the system off. Your insulation holds the heat inside as long as it can. When your home cools below 70 degrees, the thermostat starts the system reheating. It's easier on your heating equipment and your bill to settle on a desired temperature and leave your thermostat there. If you have a radiant heating system (baseboard or ceiling cable), usually 70 degrees is a comfortable setting. Because of air movement, moving air systems may require settings somewhat higher. Every degree over 70 adds about three percent to your heating bill. If you're as comfortable at 72 degrees as 75 degrees, you can save almost 10 percent at the lower setting. For additional savings, you may want to lower your thermostat at night and when you're away from home for a long period of time. These principles apply essentially to all heating fuels--electricity, gas, or oil. We have a booklet that covers heating as well as other areas where you can conserve energy. We'll send a copy of "101 Ways to Conserve Electricity at Home" to you free. Just write Commonwealth Edison, Department AV, P.O. Box 767, Chicago, Illinois 60690. Commonwealth Edison concern for your total environment Twice Told Tales FORTYYEARSAGO (Taken from the files of March 16, 1933) A mother was called to her eternal reward on Saturday, March ll, when Mrs. Bridget Frisby died at her home in this city after years of suffering and illness. The people of McHenry are still patiently marking time pending the reopening of the two local banks which are ready and waiting to open their doors for business the moment they receive instructions from the state auditor. Frank Freund of Johnsburg was painfully burned on his hands and face when a gasolene stove exploded as dinner was being prepared. The city election will be rather a quiet one, there will be one contest however as Wm. G. Schreiner has filed his petition for the office of city clerk and will oppose the present clerk, Peter Neiss, who is a candidate for reelection.

Friends of Windham Bonham, former pastor of the McHenry M.E. church, have received announcements that he is now engaged in the practice of law in Chicago Temple building on Washington street Chicago. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 18, 1948) George Duesler was elected commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars at the o r g a n i z a t i o n ' s r e g u l a r meeting. Mr. Duesler is a veteran of World War I in the American expeditionary forces in France in 1917 and 1918. The nuisance of smoke which infuriates the housewife when she finds soot on her wash has been eliminated by the Ringwood plants of the Edwal Laboratories, Inc., since the installation of two Link Belt stokers on their boilers. These stokers will save an estimated one carload of coal per month during the winter months. A local resident, David R. Heckman of Lily Lake, wit­ nessed the Delta Airlines crash in Chicago on Wednesday and assisted in removing the body of a crew member from the wreckage. Fire broke out at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Wiberg at McCullom Lake and just eight minutes after the alarm was turned in the McHenry fire department under Fire Chief Gus Freund had the fire under control. Miss Bernice Clark who resides between McHenry and Wauconda and Earl Hironimus of the same community ex­ changed nuptial vows March 6 at the Methodist church in McHenry. Harold Burns of McHenry suffered painful injuries last Thursday when his car crashed into a utility pole east of Route 21, Grayslake. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Murphy attended a lecture on current literature by the Rev. Harold Gardner S.J. at die Morrison hotel in Chicago on Sunday. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 21, 1963) A freak accident in McHenry late last Thursday morning cost young Ernest Arthur "Chippy" Pieroni his left hand. The plucky 28 month old child is recovering nicely this week in McHenry hospital. Parishioners of St. John the Baptist church of Johnsburg and the many friends he had made during the last thirteen years, this week, mourn the unexpected death of Rev. Fr. * Joseph M. Blitsch, the 62 year old priest died March 18. John P. Miller of McHenry died March 19 at the Harvard hospital. The R.G. Howe distributing company of McHenry has been granted a charter by the State of Illinois for the wholesale distribution of lawn and garden equipment and supplies. Edward J. Barwig, Prairie avenue, McHenry, recently received a certificate recognizing twenty years of service with the Lindberg Steel Treating company, Melrose Park. The physical fitness program continues to attract interest. Last Saturday two groups took part in a fifty mile hike to Lake Geneva and return, although only a few completed the mission. Roy Watson, Bill Zahn and Bob Swedo set out at 2 a.m., arrived in Genoa City at 7:30 and trudged home very weary at 2:15 the next af­ ternoon. Only Watson and Zahn went the entire distance of 47 « miles. Another group of niner high school boys accompanied by a faculty member, Richard Swantz, started their hike at 1 a.m. the same morning. Upon arrival in McHenry at 5:30 that afternoon the four who com­ pleted the entire distance figured they had travelled at about 4 miles an hour with one hour for lunch. From loadoi SPACE AERONAUTICS ̂ PIONEER 10 MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. --Pioneer 10 has vaulted an­ other hurdle on its 22-month, one - billion - kilometer (620- milHon-mile) expedition to explore the planet Jupiter. The fastest man - made spacecraft in mid-February completed a seven month voyage through the Asteroid Belt--the huge region of dust and rocks that circles the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The safe passage through this previously unexplored region of outer space vir­ tually assures the safe ar­ rival of Pioneer 10 in the region of Jupiter next De­ cember. NASA scientists in Wash­ ington and at the home base of the Pioneer project team at Mountain View, Calif., spoke confidently as they re­ lated how the craft com­ pleted the 430 million kilom­ eter (270 million mile) trip through the Belt without suf­ fering a damaging hit by any of the high velocity as­ teroid particles. They now feel the Belt of­ fers relatively little hazard to any spacecraft which may ever venture out there. Re­ ports of preliminary findings indicate that the Belt may contain somewhat less ma­ terial than previouly thought, especially in the small par­ ticle sizes. The asteroids are small bodies, most of them less than a mile in diameter, that trav­ el around the Sun like the planets. Several hundred have been identified and named, but thousands more exist. Although some come in closer to the Sun than the Earth's orbit, and others go out beyond Jupiter, most of the asteroids travel in a doughnut-shaped region be­ tween the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Scientists offered several possible explanations for the absence of small particles in the Asteroid Belt. One is that solar radiation may reduce orbital speed of such parti­ cles, and solar gravity would cause them to spiral in to­ ward the Sun. The larger particles with more mass would be less affected and coud maintain their orbits. When it left the Asteroid region in mid-February, Pio­ neer 10" was 678 million kilometers (9,421 million miles) from the Earth with arrival at Jupiter scheduled for Dec. 3, 1973. How Democracy Sometimes Goes Mad In Today's England LONDON--To an English­ man personal freedom and liberty have always been important and today these rights are encroached upon more and more. To have his own home is every Englishman's dream: his house with its own lit­ tle bit of garden (backyard to Americans). What he does with it and in it has always been regarded as very much his own affair. / However, today the fact is that if one here wishes to add a garage, or room, he has to get Planning Per­ mission from the local coun­ cil. This law is designed to protect neighbours but nonetheless impinges on one's freedom. In urban areas in the past few years there have been massive road programmes to handle increased traffic. Houses that are in the way of these schemes are bought up by the local councils under Compulsory Purchase Orders. In other words, whether he wants to or not, the own­ er can be made to go. Own­ ers get compensation equiv­ alent to the value of their property and the cost of finding and moving into an­ other similar house, but for families who have lived in one place most of their lives this is little comfort. Because of the shortage of houses, increasing num­ bers of people here are hav­ ing to live in flats and mai­ sonettes (apartments) and many really miss hav­ ing a little plot of earth to grow their own flowers and vegetables. In the County of Hamp­ shire,Major-General Thomas Foulkes (retired) has been appealing against a county council preservation order which at present means he must apply to a committee if he wants to cut a branch off one tree! He owns over a thousand trees and be­ lieves strongly in conserva­ tion, but doesn't see what right anybody has to tell him what he can or can't do in his own two-acre garden. Some time back it took him seven weeks to get per­ mission from a syb-commit- tee of the planning authority to lop a piece off a tree masking his rhododendrons. To him this is democracy gone mad!
