Our family has assumed a new dimen­ sion. Molly has a brother, and we have a son. There is new richness and happiness in our lives, but there is also new responsibility. Sure, we'll need to keep that "roof over the head," but there's much more to being a parent than that. Sometimes, when you look at the headlines in the paper, you get scared. As these kids grow up, can you face "the new moralities," the endless changes? No--not alone. But you have the strongest ally in history to help you: the Church. In case you haven't noticed, the Church has been keeping pace with change. Why not start next Sunday--and bring yourself up to date?

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Jan. 27, 1949) One of McHenry's Oc- tagenarians, Matt Niesen, who on Saturday, Jan. 29, will ob­ serve his eighty-fifth birthday anniversary. He will be guest of honor at a family dinner held at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Peter M. Justen, that evening with two other children, Mrs. Roy Kent and Clarence Niesen, also tn attendance. Miss Maurie Taylor, language instructor in the local high school, is receiving congratulations from her friends for the new French book which she is now having published. The book which Miss Taylor started about three years ago, is called "Amusons- Nous" and is a collection of novel French puzzles. It is actually a vocabulary building exercise book for students of the French language. The fifth and sixth grades at Harrison school taught by Mrs. Lathrop were privileged to see the first inaugural parade ever televised. The room was divided into two groups, half going to the home of Mr. and Mrs. C.L. Wright in Shore Hills and half to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Montelone. Coast to Coast Hardware 4400 W.

The city has now taken over the work of flooding the pond relieving the McHenry firemen, who so generously donated their time for this worthwhile purpose in the past. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Jan. 30, 1964) McHfipry City Council agreed on the purchase of a second police car. The new squad car has long been under con­ sideration by the city to answer the need for more adequate patrol. Not only has the population within the city grown but nearby subdivisions have been annexed in recent years. Rev. Odus Eubanks, his wife and nine year old son came to McHenry from Kansas City. He officiated at his first service in McHenry last Sunday. He is the new pastor for the Alliance Bible church on John street.

Mr. and Mrs. Alan Meyer announce the birth of a son Jan. 21 at the McHenry hospital. Approximately 500 relatives and friends extended congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Mike Freund, Jan. 25, in honor of their sixtieth wedding anniversary. Funeral services were held Monday in Chicago for Raymond Swenski, 53, of Lake moor, who died Jan, 24 in McHenry hospital. Mrs. Sue Wirfs of Chain of Lakes Travel Service has completed training at the American Airlines school for Air Travel and Tours at the Prudential Plaza, Chicago.

Chappell, Pastor First Baptist Church, McHenry 5/ SET. LET. KNOW The letter to the Colossians in the New Testament was written to counteract some erroneous teachings which were presented to the young Christian church there. There were those who were presenting philosophies and theories which had nothing to do with or were contrary to the Christian faith. The Apostle Paul wrote to the church and offered them a perfect formula to be used as a safeguard for wrong teachings. First, he said, "Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth" (Colossians 3:2). Usually philosophies and theories tend to elevate the person submitting them or the person to whom they are directed. For example, laws to be kept were a part of the faulty teaching to the Colossian church and Paul warned, "These rules may seem good, for rules of this kind require strong devotion and are humiliating and hard on the body, but they have no effect when it comes to conquering a person's evil thoughts and desires. They only make him proud" (Colossians 2:23 LB). Therefore, one should not seek to build nor tear down himself, but devote his thoughts and actions to "things above." "Whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him" (Colossians 3:17). Secondly, the Apostle instructs us to "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord" (Colossians 3:16). Too often we never read the word of Christ, (the Bible) to see what it has to say. Before it can dwell in our hearts it must be read. A time each day should be set aside for this reading. But even if it is read, it must be accepted and given place within our hearts. Biblical truth is not personal until it is accepted in faith and applied to the life. Great assurance of the future can be ours when we accept the Biblical teaching in faith. False teachings will be revealed when one opens his heart to the Word. Notice also there is the necessity for en­ couraging one another in the faith promises which we personally have accepted. Lastly, Paul states, "Know that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ" (Colossians 3:24). Our allegiance and devotion rightly belongs to Jesus Christ. ~ To live the abundant Christian life begins with attitude. Let Christ Jesus be Lord. Submit to Him as Creator (Colossians 1:16) and Sustainer (Colossians 1:17) of all creation and especiaUy of your personal life. • Set your affections on things above. Let the Word of Christ dwell in your heart and Know it is Jesus Christ who does and wUl ultimately determine your place in eternity. By Matthew S. Rosen Instructor - Ornamental Horticulture McHenry County College Yuck! What weather. Mother Nature sure must be angry at us. Snow, snow, and more snow. The days have been so cold and dreary lately that I thought I would spend our time today discussing tropical vegetation, - Florida style. Having recently returned from the Sunshine State, the lush foliar scenes are still fresh in my mind. Honestly, I am not trying to be mean, rather I hope that this article will conjure up thoughts of spring flowers, green grass, and densely foliated trees and shrubs. <<• When hit by an icy blast of winter wind, I simply close my • eyes and let my mind drift South. Invariably I see palm trees swaying ever so gently beneath the clear Florida sky. A feeling of warmth fills my entire body. I scoff at the falling snowflakes, and sneer in the broad face of the wind. Nature has not permanently deserted us. She has just taken a short vacation. Spring will, indeed, make its annual pilgrimage northward. Life will, indeed, return to our frozen landscape. Each step becomes easier to take. Each minute of winter brings us closer to spring. So blow you Arctic wind, and fall you silent snow. Your fate is sealed. Your yearly hibernation too is inevitable. Although I have been -spending my Christmas vacations in Florida for many years, I never, upon deplaning at Palm Beach International airport, fail to be struck by the varied, rich vegetation: Graceful palms, colorful crotons, gaily flowering hibiscus, lacy asparagus fern, the feathery pink powder puff bush, giant mature leaves of both pothos and heart-shaped philodendron growing on their clinging vines high up in the trees, six foot poinsettias covered with bloom, the list is endless. Then, all of a sudden it hits me: Almost all of the plants that I am looking at being used outside in landscape situations, are the same species we value as house plants. Wow! The plants I have growing in my apartment are three times as tall and growing outside in Florida. Scheffleras twenty feet tall with thick tan trunks. Clumps of Areca palms ten feet high, each stem colored orange-brown, and distinctly notched. Neatly clipped hedges of pittosporum and southern yew. Massive rubber trees whose sap could, indeed, be tapped for commercial use. I stand in awe, forcing the shutter in my brain to click picture after picture. Each snapshot I carefully file away under the heading "Heavenly Scenes". A good deal of my time, I spent visiting the many nur­ series that flourish along "The Gold Coast." A trip to a Florida nursery is like visiting a large commercial greenhouse in our area. Lathe • houses and fields filled with containers of crowrj of thorns, fishl£iKpalmsr--i>^d veined dracaena, dief- fenbacchia, Chinese evergreen, bromeliads of every size and shape, staghorn fern, a veritable sea of plants. No problems with the energy crunch. No cumbersome boilers or expensive oil bills. The hot Florida sun provides all the heat required free of charge. By the way, did you know that next to California, Florida is the second largest grower of cacti were used as an integral part of the landscape plan. A border of the bristly armed bunny's ears is enough to keep any youngster from taking a shortcut across your yard. Practically painless when entering, the light brown bristles blend in perfectly with the skin, making their discovery and subsequent extraction extremely difficult. Florida residents cannot, however, grow some of the flowers we value most.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY 3814 West Elm Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 period negates the use of all spring flowering bulbs. Thus, a native Floridian has never thrilled to seeing the delicate^ white flowered snowdrop battle victoriously against the cruel elements of early March, or the dainty, petite, • yellow blossomed winter aconite rest proudly atop a white blanket of snow in late February. No tulipS, no daffodils, no hyacinths. All require eight td twelve weeks of cold tem­ peratures in order to bloom. Under year 'round growing conditions, the bulbs will simply produce foliage. Horticultural Notes r I am pleased to announce that this spring 1 will be teaching two short courses on home gardening. Beginning Feb. 4, the first will cover primarily indoor gardening topics. Amongst other exciting things, we will be making terrariums and dish gardens, as well as delving into both the Japanese and American styles of flower arranging. Starting in early April, the second course will focus on outdoor gar­ dening: lawn care, flower beds, pruning, etc. Both courses will be held at the college on Monday evenings from 7 to 9. Interested persons should contact the registrar at McHenry county college. I expect that we will have a lot of fun, and look forward to meeting many of you in class. Should you have a question on the material covered, or just a horticultural point of in­ formation you would like verified, why not drop me a line? The address: McHenry County College, 6200 Northwest Highway, Crystal Lake, Illinois 60014. Suggestions on future topics are .always appreciated. Happy Gardening! TocIqks Health Netvs Published by the American Medical Association Are you over 40, are you over­ weight, do you have a diabetic relative, or are you female? If you answer yes to one or more of these four questions, you are one of those most likely to de­ velop maturity onset diabetes. Approximately 85 percent of known diabetics have this form of the disease. And although it is not as dramatic as juvenile onset diabetes -- the other form of the disease--symptoms are the same: > •sudden weight loss •constant thirst •frequent urination •extreme hunger •general weakness •drowsiness •itching of the genitals and/or the skin •visual disturbances (especially blurring) •unusual skin disorders (boils, carbuncles, or infections). Both forms of diabetes are caused by a malfunction of the pancreas. In the normal individ­ ual, carbohydrates are converted to glucose and distributed to the blood. After this takes place, the islands of Langerhans, located inside the pancreas, produce the exact amount of insulin necessary to change glucose into energy that can be stored in the cells. In the diabetic, the pancreas par­ tially or completely stops work­ ing. Most adults can control the disorder with a good, well-bal- anced, low-calorie diet; others must combat diabetes with insu­ lin treatment or oral, hypogly­ cemic drugs which stimulate the body's own insulin production. Warnings have been issued by the American Medical Association and the American Diabetic Association concerning the use of the hypo­ glycemic drugs. A possible con­ nection between the drugs and fatal heart attacks has been noted, and until the conclusions of these reports are substantiated by further study, a healthy diet and insulin injections are the preferred treatments. Future treatment possibilities, still undergoing laboratory exper­ imentation, are oral insulin, pan­ creas transplants, transplants of the islands of the Langerhans, and implants of pancreatic sen­ sors inside the body to monitor blood sugar levels. Generally, the more effectively the diabetes is controlled, the healthier the diabetic will be. WANT MOKE INFORMATION?
