(DON PEASLEY STAFF PHOTOGRAPHY) Women Aglow Will Feature Young Singer PHIL ENLOE The Women Aglow in Christ luncheon, Thursday, Feb. 27, will have a special emphasis of song and praise. Phil Enloe, singing' evangelist, is the featured guest. Angela Amici with her ministry of song will also be present. Luncheon will be served beginning at 11 a.m. at the John Evan Inn on Route 14, across from the Crystal Lake Plaza. Phil Enloe is reported to have a song and message that deserve to be heard by everyone in this generation. He does not carry a testimony with a background of crime, SNUG HARBOR 801 N. River Rd McH. SNUG HARBOR BOAT CLUB 385-2761 violence and sin, but presents a living account of the saving and keeping power of the Lord Jesus Christ. A testimony will tell how God can save a young boy, raised in church with Christian parents, and walk with him through every change and avenue of life preparing him to one day carry the gospel, without having to bear the scars of sin and the haun­ ting memories of a , torn desperate past. His songs and testimony can be described as encouraging, unlifting, vic­ torious and challenging. Many years of sacrifice, dedication and hard work have gone into the preparation of Enloe's ministry. He was born and raised in Wood River, 111., and started singing as a teen­ ager. Since then, he has had the opportunity of performing and being a member of such well known groups as the Black­ wood?, the Couriers, and the Imperials. His powerful voice, warm personality and sincere Christian love have won him a place in many hearts. His travels have taken him to Canada, the Caribbean, South America, Mexico, Hawaii, the Holy Land, and Africa. For two years he had a popular T.V. program in Canton, Ohio, "In Town Tonight". Women Aglow in Christ is an i n d e p e n d e n t n o n - denominational organization welcoming everyone. For reservations call Mrs. Walter (Ginnie) Ulick in McHenry. "G lass Menagerie " Next Offering Of Townsquare Players The imaginative, enchanting story of a southern mother's efforts to marry off a daughter as fragile as the glass animals she collects, has been chosen as the next presentation of the Townsquare Players, Inc., for an opening at the Woodstock Opera House Feb. 28. This is "The Glass Menagerie" the first great success of Tennessee Williams, America's foremost living dramatist. Hailed by many as his most human and tender efforts, the play will be repeated March 1, 7" and 8 with an 8:30 p.m. curtain. .ftvx sfftiiJTS*.* >7Tt-.:tTVv. .WTJiiJJtv. x\i£ : -W 'xUf.iyx -v\ip:w f^Home J 1 "Decorating | I -WfadTVv, .WT'-.rfSv . yTfl- '^Uf. - ius Rose Marie Pintozzi Are you keen about a certain color scheme? Then don't be afraid to use it in different rooms in your home. Let it flow through your home. Don't ever worry about monotony! Actually the idea is much like the variation on a theme in music. The basic color scheme provides the themes, and each room in­ terprets it in a different, but harmonious way. One- color scheme in varying emphasis gives a different look to each room. There's an illusion of extra spac­ iousness because the color scheme's coninuity is un­ broken. Use your walls and carpets as a background for the deeper tones, then pick up the lighter shades in painted furniture, flower arrangements and paintings. Go one-color scheme all the way! Let us at MARC HOME DECORATING INC., 4400 W. Rte. 120 (on McHenry Market Place), 385-7100 help you with a color scheme throughout your home. We have wallcoverings, floor coverings, and fabrics for custom made draperies, valences and bedspreads. These are available in a wide variety of shades and designs. Wallcoverings include nationally known brands such as Schumbacher, Bob Mitchell and Jack Denst; carpeting brands; Monarch, Galaxy and Salem. Hours 8:30 am - 5:30 pm Mon thru Sat. Helpful Hint Two keep corners of picture frames from scratching, painted or papered walls, push a thumbtack into the back of the two lower corners. >0000 Alpha Theta Holds Panel Discussion Valentine Party Enjoyed By Area Senior Citizens Members of the McHenry Senior Citizens club enjoyed a Valentine party at the meeting Monday evening, Feb. 10. A lively game of "Matching Hearts" was enjoyed, with prizes awarded to the "fastest matcher-ups". Then the group participated in doing the "Hokey Pokey", followed by dancing. During the business session, Frank Giel, Bowling chairman, reminded that the annual bowling banquet will be held Thursday, May 8, at the Branded Steak house at Crystal Lake. Cocktails at 6 will be followed by Dinner at 7. This banquet is for the bowlers, their spouses or sweethearts. Reservations should be made promptly. Reservations are encouraged for the Shrine circus at Medinah Temple Wednesday, March 19. There are still quite a number of tickets available, some for sale to friends and relatives of club members. Contact Mrs. Giel at once,as the deadline for reservations is Feb. 24. Buses will leave the McHenry State Bank parking lot at 5 p.m. The bus for the trip to the Museum of Science and In­ dustry will leave the same parking lot at 9 a.m., Wed­ nesday, April 2. Make reser­ vations at once with Mrs. Giel for this trip. The admission is free to the Museum, and there is a snack bar and a cafeteria where food can be purchased.

Mrs. Hattie Bowsher Affiliate Artist Back For Feb. 23 Program A panel discussion on the subject of women holding positions normally held by men, was enjoyed by Alpha Theta of Delta Kappa Gamma of McHenry county earlier this month at the Hunter Country club, Richmond. Mary Alice Williston served as chairman for the program. * On the panel were Alice Sire, school board member and nurse; Arlene Fetzner, mayor of Crystal Lake; Sarah Lessman, lawyer practicing in McHenry county, and Verda Dierzen, superintendent of schools. Based on the program discussion, the panel felt that women were meeting the challenges of the present by becoming better educated and that the future of women in public service positions looks very promising. Members were urged to write their legislators concerning the success of the ERA. In January the group at­ tended a dinner-play and saw the Agatha Christie mystery, "MouseTrap". This was the cultural outing for this group of teachers. The next meeting for Delta Kappa Gamma will be held March 8, instead of March 10. This will be held at the SEDOM center in Woodstock at 7 p.m. Mankind, through medical and sanitary advances, has learned to delay death, without a corresponding reduction in birth rate. Hence-crowding, hunger, and trouble. The four-character play concerns a mother's attempts to mold her two children into an image that is in keeping with her own fantasy about herself. The son works in a warehouse and writes poetry on shoe box lids, and the crippled daughter is too shy even to continue her studies at a business school. Into the dingy flat, overlooking a back alley in St. Louis, comes the daughter's first gentleman caller -- a big, good-natured Irishman whom the mother has insisted that the son bring home to dinner to meet the sensitive girl. An embarrassing evening ensues, topped by the discovery that the gentleman caller is already engaged to be married. For ticket information, phone 815-675-2066. Niki Flacks, McHenry county Affiliate Artist, will return to Woodstock Sunday, Feb. 23, rather than the previously announced Feb. 22, to present the third program in the current Performing Arts series at 8 p.m. in the Opera House. The schedule change is due to Miss Flacks' current ap­ pearance in the Broadway production of Noel Coward's "Private Lives." Miss Flacks will sing a wide range of music from Mozart and Verdi to Gershwin and Richard Rogers for the Per­ forming Arts program. Ac­ cording to Woodstock Fine Arts officials, Miss Flacks' musical talents are not widely known in the county since she has sung publicly only once during her appearances as Affiliate Artist here. Jacqueline Silver, a New York accompanist, coach and pianist, will assist Miss Flacks, who has studied with Theodore Andreas, New York voice teacher. The proceeds from this program will contribute to the continuation of the Affiliate Artist program during the third year of its three-year schedule. The Sears Roebuck foundation and the Illinois Arts council have already awarded their funding for the 1975-76 Affiliate Artist program. The Affiliate Artist program Grandma Wi' lots o' time t' ponder, after the' busiest holiday season this granny's had fer years, me old rockin' chair 's been pretty busy. Readin' an' a listenin' t' as much as our media pervides, me thinks we're further 'n th' brink o' disaster. No body 's t' blame, but ourselves, fer allowin' ourselves t' be led down th' rosy path, wi' more comforts, an' less/effort t' acquire 'em, 'n in all history, afore us. So, now we c'n really tighten our belts, git "Shank's mare t' goin'," an' try t' survive. A little prayin' won't hurt, an' might do a lot o' good, 'cause prayer puts th' mind on a higher level, 'n a lot o' folks ha' known, lately. Man has desecrated th' wonderful gifts, this world pervides. Th' bowels o' this planet ha' been tapped, 'til th' last o' th' contents remain. Th' hardwood forests ha' been stripped, an' artificial materials make things seem cold and cheap. Realization that good quality things 're dissipated, comes as a shock. T' me own hand, th' warmth o' beautiful wood is somethin't' treasure. An' th' craftsmanship that went into it, made it last a lifetime, in th' furnishin's o' th' home. We was taught t' revere our homes, t' take care o' our things, an' those o' others. I c'n hear me own father, now, a sayin' t' us youngun's, "Ye better take care o' it, there may not be more, where that came from." An' that was th' way most o' us lived, in those days, wi' a thought fer tomorrow. Then, came th' generation that was encouraged t' "Spend, Spend, Spend." Folks started throwin' out th' old, sturdy things, refurbishin' wi' th' new things. Th' dollars went, an' so did th' precious resources. Folks didn't mend an' fix things any more. It b'came th' fashion, an' folks in th' income bracket, who saved, afore, spent 'emselves right inter debt. Economical livin' disappeared from th' scene. Extravagance took its place, no one knew how t' economize. Many times, this ol' lady 's been astonished, seein' someone who'd gone an' spent too much, fer th' cheaper quality o' newer furnishin's, a keepin' up wi' th' trend, 'r th' "Joneses," if ye prefer. Not long after, th' new stuff b'gan t' fall apart, an' there went their money, an' all th' better, old things. Th' theory, that keepin' industry a goin', a keepin' th' money a flowin', pervidin' jobs, 'd cure th' ills o' society, hain't paid off. Those o' us, wi' brains t' see ahead, predicted th' way received a vote of thanks from the members for helping supply materials for the sewing group. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wilke and Mr. and Mrs. Chester Conrad delivered seventy-five lap robes, also bibs, this past week to McHenry County hospital, Woodstock Nursing home, Harvard Nursing home, and Harvard Old People's home. These institutions were very grateful for these lap robes and bibs, and appreciate the thoughtfulness of the Sewing group in making these items for them for the comfort and use of their patients. The next meeting of the McHenry Senior Citizens club will be Monday, Feb. 24, when Glen Anderson will explain the "Metric System". There will also be a speaker from the college to present the many things available for the Senior Citizens by showing interesting slides, fully explaining in detail. " Mrs. Alice Chermak, Program chairlady, advises that the program March 10 will feature Jean Bonnell, "The Genie" in her one-woman show; and on March 24 "The Sound of Music," a group of thirty students, vocalists and instrumentalists^from East campus under the direction of William Toalson. is a national effort to bring performing artists to com­ munities in order to further understanding and ap­ preciation of the performing arts in America. It is coor­ dinated by the non-profit Af­ filiate Artists, Inc., New York. Special rates for the Feb. 23 performance are available for groups, senior citizens and students. Reservations can be made by calling Mrs. John Schultz, 10619 Bull Valley road, Woodstock. Miss Flacks will conclude the second year of her Affiliate Artist assignment in McHenry coufity when she returns for a two-week visit in April. She is scheduled to appear in the McHenry schools and is available for special free lecture-performances, "in- formances," before clubs and organizations. More information is available from Mrs. Schutlz, coordinator of the Affiliate Artist's schedule. it's turned out t' be. It's better t' pervent somethin' from hap- penin', than t' cure it; a dif­ ficult lesson t' learn, an' for th' young t' accept, an' practice. Some good ol' fashioned methods 're needed, seems t' me. Grandma Radtke FOOD FUN Many important decisions must be made early in the morning For example, which cereal to eat? In order to make up your mind you might have to figure out whether you want to be a cowboy, a ball player, or a space cadet. MR. AND MRS.
