A 1966 graduate of McHenry Community high school, the lieutenant received her JLA,. From Mrs. Orpha Miller, Hut­ chinson, Ks.: I remember when we filled the ice house. My father ran a meat market and every win­ ter ice had to be brought from the river 18 miles away. It seems to me the ice house was a block long and about as deep. My sister tells me it was only half a block longhand she cannot remember how deep. degree in Spanish in 1970 from the University of Illinois and her M.A. degree in Latin studies in 1971 from the University of Wisconsin. She was commissioned in 1971 upon completion of Officer Training school, Lackland AFB, Tex. Just about everyone in our small community helped. My brother and I got to make one round trip each day riding in the wagon. The ice blocks were 4 feet long and however deep the ice had frozen that year. The men either were at the river or driv­ ing the load of ice in for the men to pack away in the ice house. I can remember the dank smell of the wet straw the ice was packed with, The ^ladies were busy cooking and serving delicious meals. I know not how these people en­ joyed the meat my father served as meat was treasured then as now. Nowadays rivers don't freeze that hard in our area. But I am sure several people remember putting the ice up for the meat shop. HSitd contribwtiont to (hit column to Tho OM Timor, Box «Jt, Frankfort, Ky. 40401.)

ON ABORTIONS "Editor: "My name is Jamie Trosky. I live at 1406 Nokomis trail and I am 11 years old. "As we all know, all over America it's Respect for Life month. I'm talking about one subject that everybody passes by - Abortion! I think it's about time that people take time to think and do something. I think it's cruel the way f>eople think. "I saw an article. It read this way: "January 11: 'Hi, I guess you're wondering where I am. I'm in an air-tight salty sac. I'm hardly even formed'. "March 5: 'There have been some strange sounds in here'. "May 7: 'I wonder what they're going to name me -- Chris, Bob or Mark'. "June 7: 'They killed me'. "Wouldn't it be fun to see another person come into the world. "Abortion is performed everywhere in the world. The pistol our eharch gave a speech about a little boy who was hit by a car. Doctors and nurses worked hard, and saved the boy. The same hospital had an abortion the next morning. Think hard before you have one. It's only nine months of pregnancy. From the moment the sperm joins the egg, you have hair color, bone structure, skin color. I can understand if it's your first one. I've done comparing and talked to people who want 'em.
