Grandma Sez • • • That popular media, the tube, in front o' which most younguns 're glued for most o' th' free hours allotted to 'em, is shapin' th' thinkin' o' our present generation, th' ones a comin' up from th' cradle, an' even th' grown-ups, who think they do their own thinkin! The most powe'ful media th' world's e'er known has taken o'er th' brain power o' most people, an' sets th' pattern o' use o' th' contents o' th' cranium fer th' youngsters. What's seen has stronger effect on character than that which is heard. Anythin th' eye views forms a mental photograph that ain't erased wi' time. Words 're easily put aside, as we parents well know, goin' in one ear, an' out t'other like a breeze rustlin' th' trees. It behooves us, as a nation o' people, anxious t' set th' best example fer th' world, t' be watchful o'what's put afore th' public. I'll grant ye that it satisfies somethin' primitive in some humans t' view violence an' degradm' sex images, but in years past, those folk could go to places where it was kept private, an' it didn't offend clean thinkin' people. Seems t' this granny that th' promotion o' sex edication let down th' bars, an' it seems hopeless t' git th' sheep back in th' pasture, t' safety. Ye can't convince this ol' lady that th' increase in crime, use o' drugs among our younger set, especially, an' general attitude o' "Devil-may-care," ain't th' result o' th' lack o' diligence on th' part o' those who control what goes on th' screen o' th' TV Th' gradual decline in standards o' our society c'n be laid at th' feet o' that media. In years past, few younguns took th' trouble t' read tji' papers, an' watchful parents took pains t' remove th' sen­ sational sections from th' Sunday supplements, 'til th' offspring reached an age where young minds were'nt so im­ pressionable. In this day, when it 'ppears that young childern 're a lot smarter 'n in days gone by, parents shouldn't be misled. The truth is they know more about things, some they'd be better off wi'out, but they don't possess th' wisdom t' handle it. It takes th' years o' experience, t' do that, e'en wi' us grown­ ups. Grandma Radtke Offer Special Performance Of School Play Mrs. Vandagriff, Drama director at West campus, has announced that a special performance of the fall production, "I Remember Mama", will be given Wed­ nesday, Nov. 14 at 8 p.m. for all senior citizens who are Gold Card holders and any other interested senior citizens in McHenry. This performance is reserved for only the above people. Coffee will be served to all of the playgoers after this showing so they can meet and talk with the cast. This is a new concept and Mrs. Vandagriff wants to bring this to the attention of all of McHenry's senior citizens. Only gold card holders and other senior citizens will be admitted to this performance. The directors and cast are looking forward to this very special evening with McHenry's retired residents. Mrs. Vandagriff also an­ nounced that Tuesday evening's dress rehearsal, Nov. 13, is photography night. This will be the only evening pic­ tures can be taken during the actual performance. Tickets are now on sale by cast members for the show, which will be given Nov. 16, 17 and 18 for the entire com­ munity.

Hold Holiday Happening At Farm Bureau The McHenry County Homemakers association will sponsor a "Holiday Hap­ pening" Nov. 7 at 9 a.m. in the Farm Bureau auditorium, Rt. 47 and McConnell road, Woodstock. Demonstrations will be given on the following holiday decorations: Straw wreaths, wired pine cone wreaths, Christmas will hangings, gingerbread house, Christmas card ornaments and holiday boutiquing. It enough interest is shown in any one of the demonstrations, a workshop will be scheduled for a later date. The public is invited to attend this "Holiday Happening". Ever-zealous, the 680 members of the Woman's auxiliary of Memorial Hospital for McHenry County have literally "outdone themselves" again! The annual Holiday Hospitality day benefit, a mammoth effort requiring nearly a year's work by many auxiliary members, produced a record net income in behalf of the auxiliary's work for the patients at the county-wide hospital. That electrifying news thrilled members at the annual meeting last week where a record turnout for the yearly gathering also elected a new president and discussed plans for 1973-74. The big fund-raising event, Holiday Hospitalty day, produced $16,922, topping last year's previous all-time high of $11,315. In recent years, income from this benefit that features home tours and creative gifts has risen steadily. A few years ago it was less than half the 1973 income. Mrs. Frank Fabbri and Mrs. Vernon Barber served as co- chairman for the second year. In the election, Mrs. Robert Emery, Woodstock, was elected president for a two-year term, moving to that post from first vice-presidency. Other officers include Mrs. Rex Linder, first vice-president; Mrs. Vernon Barber, second vice-president; Mrs. George Frejd, treasurer; Mrs. Kenneth Decker, assistant treasurer; Mrs. Vette Kell, corresponding secretary; and Mrs. Fabbri, recording secretary. Commenting on the auxiliary's rrole in Memorial hospital's service to patients, Bert Hanson, administrator, said today members occupy a vital role in the hospital's well- being. "During the past two years, auxiliary members have not only raised thousands of dollars. They have established a new service program to staff the emergency department seven days a week. They have re-located the Gift and Thrift Shop in a larger, more con­ venient site, and they con­ tribute thousands of hours of service in behalf of our patients," continued Hanson. "I salute these volunteers for their dedication." In an effort to measure the extent of the volunteer service, Mrs. Russell Lundstrom tabulated the hours contributed and found that it totaled 23,314 hours by the volunteers. "At $1.60 an hour, that means a service equal to a $37,302 gift, and we are pleased to make the stay of patients more com­ fortable because the auxiliary members are proud of the hospital and medical staffs," she summarized., A total of 271 members were active in the volunteer services tabulated by Mrs. Lundstrom. One of the biggest assignments concerns the 9 to 9 shifts at the emergency department, Hanson mentioned. These women assist the regular specialists and technicians, including the registered nurse who is on duty, with patients as they enter the emergency area. This area is increasingly busy as more people think of this department as their medical service center when they need help even if it is mostly a routine situation. Mrs. Thos. Harding and Mrs. John Schult are co-chairman of the Emergency department volunteers. Mrs. Wm. Harvey is the new chairman for the Gift and Thrift shop, re-located in late September in the old jail area of the old courthouse and jail complex on the Woodstock city square. At present, eight women aspiring to a career in nursing are being assisted with their training by scholarships given by the Woman's auxiliary. POET'S CORNER THE WHEEL OF TIME Fast turns the wheel of time and today is tomorrow, yesterday... After summer comes fall, then winter and again spring. Living and dying - is everything. That which today is young and beautiful will be tomorrow, old and pitiful. When you are a child, you feel funny and gay, then you grow up and work fills your day. So, live your life, while you still can, today before the wheel of time, turns it from you away. Before death comes and knocks on your door: "I am the One, you are waiting for".... "But before we both must leave, I have four questions, I will be brief". "Did you learn, how short your time on earth can be? "Did you share your wealth and goods with the poor, who were in need?" "Did you reach out and also care for others? "Did you see in your neighbor, or a stranger, your own brother?" "We, too, will be judged on all those counts someday.... that is why we should learn to be kind and and to lead a good and useful life, today... By Maria Heiser DINNER - BAZAAR The annual roast beef dinner will be served Saturday, Nov. 10, at the Ringwood Methodist church, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. The bazaar will open at 2 p.m., featuring home made candies and many gift ideas for Christmas.

Some pooh-pooh it, others swear by it. I personally will never live a day without it! First let's answer a few questions, like where does Vitamin "E" come from ? And what does it do for us? Vitamin "E" 's main source is from the kernel of the wheat, which the miller refines out when making white flour. So if you are eating a lot of products made from white flour, you are certainly deficient in this very important vitamin. There are so many important things to be said about what "E" does for us, that I would never be able to cover them all here. I will try and hi-lite a few I know will interest you. To begin with Vitamin "E" is nature's blood thinner. It dilates the blood vessels and prevents clots. (Take note varicose vein sufferers) It is second to none in its healing powers; try it the next time you bruise, burn, or cut yourself. Vitamin "E" conserves the oxygen in the tissues and the amount of oxygen in the blood is vital for the rebuilding of injured and unhealthy tissue. In case you're interested it is a known fact that vitamin "E" is very effective in keeping the sex^, glands young and prolonging their activity. Some goods that contain "E" are: apples, bananas, milk, eggs, butter, carrots, beef­ steak, lamb chops, lettuce, onions, whole grain cereals (I heard today on the radio that the packaged cereals on the market today are as good for our children as a shot of booze). If you've lost that old "pa- zaz" why not try "E"!! LAWN-BOY Sales & Service BR00KW00D GARDEN CENTER 4505 W. Rte. 120 McHenry (just across from Foremost) Phone 385-4949 \ Frankie Schwan, KJ.
