Although many papers did not pay much attention to fashions all of them carried news of the great temperance movement that had begun several months earlier. The Bloomington Pantagraph, on April 7, summarized the results of the campaign: "Women's temperance movement thus far: Thirty-seven cities and towns entirely freed from the liquor traffic; 1,761 liquor saloons in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois closed, and 800 liquor sellers reformed." In those earliest years of baseball the fans were evidently already sighing for the "good old days." The first paragraph of the Tribune's "Base-ball Gossip" column read: "It is just beginning to be fairly realized the memorable contests which took place during 1870, 1871, and 1872, are to be repeated upon the green diamond. It may be doubted whether we shall ever see again the immense crowds, the strong interest and the hearty enthusiasm which used to attend the old White Stocking games, but it is certain that the really excellent nine for 1873 will to a great degree succeed in reviving the old-time popularity of the national game."

No wedding date has been set. "The place t' begin t' mend th' world, is right there in th' home." Thefce words o' wisdom, I heard, t'other day, on a TV program. It does this ol' heart good, t' know that some folks 're beginnin't' think in th' right direction. This wonderful media, we have, in this modern age, could do things, in a big way, t' correct th' ills o' our present world environment. Our advantages, developed so rapidly in th' last fifty years, greater than any history records, may make us, 'r break us, accordin't' how we put 'em t' use. Seems t' this granny, that, in order to' be th' great influence in th' world, which we hope t' be, th' first priority is lastin' peace. We don't need war t' help our economy, an' nations, all o'er the' world, must learn that nothin' is accomplished permanently, wi' war. In order t' accomplish th' lesson, young childern need t' BUFFET LUNCH( AND STYLE SHOW "FASHIONS BY GENEVIEVES Every Thursday^ AT NOON McHENRY COUNTRY CLUB 820 N. JOHN ST. OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Live Entertainment . & SAT. NITES FRI be taught, from infancy, th' higher level o' human development, so's they grow up wi' a better attitude toward others. Human bein's 're supposed t' have better sense than th' lower animals, but me thinks that we might learn from some o' 'em. Puttin' young childern in th' hands o' young folk, hardly old enough, 'r experienced t' know how t' think fer 'emselves, doesn't pervide th' proper start in developin' good habits, self- discipline, restraint, an* pride in accomplishment. Younguns need t' be taught all th' things, pertinent t' mental an' psychological growth. They don't learn these important things all by themselves, an' need adult guidance, along wi' devotion t' th' task o' shapin' th' lives we bring inter this world. It takes a lot o' lovin' care, unselfish labor, until that child's grown, t' build a human life, an' th' reward is greater than gold. One can't stress, enough, th' need fer better disciplinary measures, in th' home, th' school, 'r any place where young childern 're a tryin' t' grow up. It's up t' us adults, who've lived long enough t' have some experience in life, t' help th' young t' grow up. We elders need help, in many cases, but we've come t' a state where parents let th' little uns loose, t' find themselves in some way, wi'out th' help they deserve. It's up t' th' elders t' teach 'em t' be self-confident, self-sufficient in th' work-a-day world, an't' be proud o' a job, well-done, in school, in th' home, an' later in th' world. Yes, th' place t' start, is in th' home. Grandma Radtke FM RADIO & TELEVISION r i WAS AWARDED THE 1974 RCA CERTIFICATE of APPOINTMENT - . For too many years, consumers depended a great deal on feel and appearance to determine garment quality. Today, these guides aren't adequate or dependable, says Marjorie Sohn, University of Illinois Extension clothing and textiles specialist. Your best guides are careful analysis and tags and labels with the following kinds of information: --Facts about 0 the workmanship used on the garment and its effect on durability and wearability. -Whether a special finish has been used, the performance to be expected from the finish, its degree of permanence, and how to care for it. -How to care for the garment - whether it can be laundered and, if so, the proper method to use, or whether it must be dry cleaned. -The manufacturer's name and address. Remember, reliable firms want their names associated with their merchandise. -Sizes when applicable. -Fiber content ~ Will possibly explain necessary care and also give a clue of what to expect in comfort, durability, and shape retention. Quality doesn't mean the same thing to each of us, and our ideas about quality change constantly, Miss Sohn adds. Actually, quality clothing is clothing that will bring the greatest degree of satisfaction in use for the amount of money spent. Some specific points often thought of as guides to quality in apparel are: 1. New design ideas -- however, high fashion is a good buy only when the garment fits a need, is attractive, and prorpises to stay in fashion for the life of the garment. 2. Excellence of the design- newness doesn't indicate excellence. Choose a garment for color, texture and design lines that fulfill your wardrobe needs and are becoming to you. Fit and comfort are also important. 3. Quality of fabric--evaluate the fabric for fiber content; yarn construction; perfection of weave, knitting or other types of construction; and the finishes used. 4. Suitability of fabric for its purpose--fabric should be compatible for the design lines of the garment, durable according to use, comfortable from the standpoint of weather, and reasonably easy to care for. The initial cost should be standard for the kind of fabric. 5. Accuracy of construction-- this includes all the processes from cutting through finishing the garment. 6. Overall aesthetic properties--in addition to the above factors which contribute to a garment's aesthetic appeal, the garment should meet your emotional needs. It should give you a feeling of being well-dressed, poised and self-confident. Shop in stores that have a reputation for good quality and fairness to customers, recommends Miss Sohn. And get acquainted with sales people who really know the merchandise they are selling. "Exercising The Exorcist" Is PWO Program "Exercising the Exorcist" is the program to be presented by Dr. Anthony J. Becker to the general meeting of Parents Without Partners, Chapter 189, Friday evening, April 5, at 8:30 p.m. at the American Legion on the corner of Oak and Woodstock streets in Crystal Lake. Orientation for non- members interested in learning about the chapter will be at 8 p.m. Easter came to Illinois on a snow storm a hundred years ago. Street cars were delayed but church attendance was not seriously affected, according to a check of Apirl, 1874, newspapers from Bloomington, Chicago, Peoria, Springfield and Rock Island. The papers are in the collections of the Illinois State Historical library in Springfield. While the snow was widespread, the Peoria area was hardest hit and the Daily Transcript reported: "On Saturday evening a heavy snow storm set in and continued through the night and forenoon of Sunday (Easter, April 5). About twelve inches fell and lays very compact and heavy" and "the several street car lines were unable to run their cars until late in the day." In Chicago the snow started failing on Saturday evening^and " c o n t i n u e d w i t h o u t intermission for nearly twelve hours. But the cars did not cease running, and it was not unpleasantly cold." The Sunday Tribune added: "Those who were most inconvenienced by this snowy humor of an April day were the ministers who had prepared sermons 'appropriate for the occasion,' and who had studied their hopes rather than the weather-reports. Nearly all of them had prepared glowing comparisons between the dead winter in its frozen grave, and the joyful advent of Easter Sunday, rich with sunlight, and melodious with songs of birds, all of which comparisons had to be thrown overboard." The Rock Island Daily Union reported a three-inch snow there and the Springfield Daily State Journal said that "notwithstanding the storm. . . rendering the condition of the streets very disagreeable to pedestrians, church services were largely attended." The Chicago Tribune of Easter Sunday, 1874, consisted of 16 bed-sheet-size pages without any illustrations but with several columns on fashions of the day. Black silk was very much in favor and the Tribute commented that it "is getting to be like the would-be wit's advice to the learner of whist: When you don't know what to play, play a card. When you don't know what to wear, wear black silk." Among the "Fashion Items" from New York w6re notes that: "Masculine coats are to be worn by the ladies next summer" and "Many of the ladies are disappointed with the new bonnet. It is a nondescript sort of an affair, and it is difficult to tell which is front and which is back. The grapes, p*ass, and various flowers give it a rural appearance, at all eveits." A fashion note for men stated that "The Ulster coat business has been rather overdone the past winter. Last year they were novel and took immensely among the imitators of Beau Brummel, but now the garment is worn by gamblers, horse- 8-40 Planning Benefit Dinner For Two Groups The March meeting of the McHeiry County 8 and 40 was held at the home of Helen Lang in Woodstock.
