Grandma Scz ••• waitin' fer th' time y come, when self-int'rests take second place, an' spiritual development's emphasized, as th' young grow up. Centuries ha' passed, wi' wise men, a tryin' t' indoctrinate th' societies wi' th' importance o' improvin' man's attitude toward his brother. There must be a greater respect fer th' Creator, an' all th' blessin's we're able t' enjoy. Mankind's been disregardful, t' th' point o' neglectin't' teach th' young th' proper reverence fer their daily bread, let alone all th' wond'ful extras, which, folks from me own generation, an' those who've gone b'fore us, think o', as luxuries. Th' good things h' b'come so commonplace, taken fer granted, an' dissipated wi'out any thought o' guilt. Now, a wish fer a prayerful Easter day, comes from th' heart o' this granny, an' a hope that folks il come t' feel more grateful fer th' privilege o' livin' in God's creation. Happy Easter. Grandma Radtke April 10-11 Last Calls For "Tom Jones" Tryouts There is still jtime to join the Townsquare Players, Inc., in trying out for the delightful helping of Tomfoolery, "Tom Jones". This production calls for a large cast of men and women, which enables the novice as well as the experienced to find a suitable role. Director Art Thorsen will be on . hand to cast this eighteenth century romp April 10 and 11 at the Woodstock Opera House at 8 p.m. The play is a bigger laugh than the movie. This is why. In the movie Tom got caught by all those women who pursued him - and amusingly ribald it was. But in the play he just manages to escape (a close squeak each time) and that's funnier. DONA LOTZ DANIEL BENKERT PLAN MAY WEDDING - A May wedding is being planned by Miss Dona Lotz of Addison, III., and Daniel Benkert of McHenry.

EDWARD HOLLAND BRIDAL COUPLE - Displaying happy smiles following their Feb. 23 nuptial rite in St. Mary's Catholic church are Lt. and Mrs. Edward Holland. Mrs. Holland, the former Sherry Gehrke, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Gehrke of McHenry. Her husband's parents are Mr. and Mrs. Edward Holland, Sr., of Long Island, N.Y. A watchin' all th' precious younguns, carryin' out th' rituals o' confirmin' their faith in God an' th' church, last Sunday mornin', it 'most broke this granny's heart, a wonderin' how they might cope wi' this world o' trial, they're a facin, as they grow up. There hain't a better start, fer any youngster, than that they receive from involvement wi' th' church, an' th' principles an' truths they learn there. Th' event, must leave a lastin' impression, havin' influence on their lives, an' hopefully, t' help 'pm through, t' a happy fulfillment o their dreams, an' ambitions. Easter time, time of new beginnin's, seems th' most appropriate for serious thought, consecration o' young lives, in endeavor t' mark a course t' foller, for a lifetime. Parents, who give th' childern th' opportunity t' e x p e r i e n c e s p i r i t u a l manifestation o' faith in their Maker, reap reward in th' kind o' human bein's they're a turnin' out. This world'd be a better place if folks lived by th' good things, learned in religious education.
