Wedding, Shower, Birthday Party, Housewarming, Anniversary? Visit Us First ! You will be surprised at the large se l ec t ion o f a i f t s A watchin' th' days grow a little shorter, an' th' night a creepin' on a bit earlier as th' week rolls around t' Sunday, again, can'y help a thinkin' o' th' cold days a comin' soon. Winter's a lonelier tirpe fer us old folks, but we mustn't lose track o' th' good things about it, in this country, where we complain about high price o' ever'thin' under God's sun. Me own father never knew what it wuz like t' r'ceive a sizable check in th' mail, every month, though he ne'er wanted, havin' a good son t' pervide, an' a little help when needed from us all. T' have a warm home, food t' eat, an' entertainment t' boot, is luxury compared wi' what oldsters had a few years back. When th' eyes got,, too tired t' read, an' th' hands too feeble t' doth'sewin', knittin' 'r whate're they wuz accustomed t' a doin', there wer'nt th' magic box t' turn on fer a bit o' diversion. There's many an eyertin' a body c'n kill, 'til it's time t' tuck in th' covers fer a nice warm sleeep. Most o' us have it so much better 'n old folks used ter, that we needn't find fault wi' anythin', seems t' me. Most o' us try t' live accordin't' th' modern conception o' gran'mas an' gran'pas, these days, wi'out infringin' on th' freedom o' th' family. We try t' carry out th' image o' independence we set out t' acquire, but that don't eliminate th' longin' t' be with loved ones. Sometimes those lonely winter nights catch us off guard an' find us a bit weak in fulfillin' th' promise to our­ selves t' be self-sufficient an' non-encumberin' t' th' younger set. There's particulary close association comes, sometimes, b'tween th' grand-elders an' th' very youngest set, an affinity undefinable in understandin' companionship, peculiar only t' that special union o' souls. Th' pity is that most younguns re deprived o' th' wonder o' it, wi' th' modern attitude toward th' senior generation. Seems that younguns 're kept so busy they don't have time fer th' im­ portant things, like family. This America wuz a nation o' families, wi' a closeness in family relationship t' withstand all kinds o' hardships. Seems like th' minute things git rough in many cases, these days, th' youngsters want t' leave home, they itch t' git a place, 'r "Pad," o' their own. It don't seem healthy fer society, 'r f'r that matter, th' economy in all phases ye c'n mention. It taxes th' housin' problem, utilities, an' services. Fer th' life o' me, I can't see why a young person c'n feel he's entitled t' walk out o' the' father's house, afor he's done a bit t' toward th' family home, soon's he begins t' dry a bit, b'hind th' ears. Seems that, younguns might be taught t' abide a bit, an' though they b'gin t' feel that th' "Old folks," some barely past the forty mark, 're too "old fashioned," t' make 'emselves adjustable t' family, 'til th' mature time comes t' part company, an' find their own way in th' world. I feel mighty sorry fer a lot o' nice parents, havin' th' off­ spring jist up an' take off. It happens ever'day, an' might have a bearin' on younguns a gittin't' a lot o' th' trouble they find 'emselves involved in, these day. 4 Grandma Radtke Hold Annual Schlachtfest The La Societe d' Femme, Cabane No. 578 of McHenry county, announces its ninth annual Schlachtfest, to be held Saturday, Oct. 20, at the McHenry Legion post home.
