JtilE t. IWI Grandma Sez , Well, another milestone passed, an' another year started. Some time ago, this grandma said, many times, that if th' three-score-an-ten, rolled 'round, th' life'd be full, an' satisfyin'. It ain't strange, that as each added year is marked off, somethin' new crops up, t' add int'rest an' zest t' th' desire t' prolong th' borrowed time. .Seems t' me, there ain't any, so-called "Borrowed time." When th' good Lord calls, there ain't any time left t' borrow. Havin' had th' experience o' th' sudden loss o' family member, an' friends, in a few short months, me mind an' heart is eternally grateful f'r th' extended time o' me own years, which may be due t' th' progress o' medical science. I'm a wonderin' how many folks take time t' appreciate each new day, sunny *r sunless, no matter what. There's no room f'r unhappy thoughts in a mind that's thankful f'r th' privilege o' just bein' alive. There's a heap o' livin't' be done, no matter how th' years pile up. A lookin' back, some fifty years 'r more, seems like an eternity ahead, an' there was lots o' time f'r more'n a body might e'er want t' git done. That ain't th' way it turns out, for th' time disappears, right afore th' eyes, seems like, an' all th' things, put off 'til th' time o' th' later years, take so much time f'r th' doin' o' 'em. th' days jist ain't long enough Young folks, these days, have so much more 'n we had, when we were young, an' th' ten dency is, t' take 'em f'r, gran ted. But each day o' life, is a special gift, an' may be utilized Zero Three Times The invention of the mathemat­ ical zero possibly occurred three times in history, the National Geographic Society says in In­ dia and from there through Arabia into Western culture, in the Maya civilization of Mexico, and in the Inca empire of South America f'r «®od, *r sad t' relate, not so good. If th' young could be taught t' build toward th' time, when th' years o' construction *re o'er, an' th' die is cast, so's t' reap reward o' a good job. well done, those later years may be greater enjoyed Young parents, many known by this granny throughout th' years, have a large obligation t' th' offspring So many seem t' find it too cumbersome a job, t' teach th' younguns what only a parent can, th' right attitude toward 'emselves, an' others, an' life itself Seems too bad that so many childern come into the world, wi'out th' right guidance. Seems t' me, th' worst part o' it all is, when th' late years come, there ain't th' reward that should be forthcomin', in memories o' a good life, lived wi' a goodly amount o' love Grandma Radtke Nine McHenrv County Dairy Princess candidates par ticipated in the Harvard Milk day festivities last weekend, launching a series of activities to help mark June Dairy month The 1976 McHenry County Dairy Princess contest will climax with the annual l>airj banquet June .10 at Woodstock with the crowning of the 1976 Dairy Princes* She will serve as an ambassador of goodwill for the dairy industry, suc­ ceeding the reigning Princess) Regina Perenchio Something special is in store for both the new and the retiring Dairy Princess, for in August the McHenry County Dairy Promotion council will host the Illinois Dairy Princess contest Regina will be the McHenry county entry, and the new Dairy Princess will be a special hostess for the visiting state Dairy Princess can didates The state contest is sponsored by the American Dairy Association of Illinois Meanwhile.
