PAGE 22 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1976 Bicentennial Recital Oct. 3 Benefits CROP Lakemoor-Lilymoor Alma Hueckstaedt 385-5689 LYNNE SOBCZAK Junque Sale "Treasures" Clear *235 The Civil Defense and the Bicentennial commission would like to announce the fact that they grossed $235 profit from the junque sale that was held over the Labor Day weekend. The Civil Defense group and the Bicentennial commission acknowledges the efforts of all that participated in any way, whether large or small. LADIES LEAGUE The members of the League met on Wednesday evening Sept. 15 at one of the local restaurants in Lakemoor for dinner (which I have been told was delicious). The ladies then went back to the Municipal building for their regular games. The winners were, first, Carol Voelke; second, Lu Gravenstuk, third, Julia Kraus; and the booby prize was won by Carol Green. There were only twelve members in attendance. A recital of American organ music is being prepared by Lynne Sobczak, a McHenry area organist. Everyone is invited to attend the hour long concert on Sunday, Oct. 3, at 7:30p.m. at Mount Hope United Methodist church, 1015 W. Broadway in Pistakee Highlands. Featured organ music will include an arrangement of "Amazing Grace" and variations on "America" by Charles Ives. A reception will follow the concert in the church basement. Mrs. Sobczak stated three reasons for presenting such a recital at this time. Mt. Hope church has recently purchased a larger, used electronic organ and she will be showing its versatility through the variety of music she has chosen. In keeping with the Bicentennial celebration of this year, she hopes to acquaint her audience with a sampling of organ music by American com­ posers and arrangers. And because Mrs. Sobczak is very concerned about world hunger, she has plannedlhis concert as a way to turn her talent into contributions. A free will offering will be taken for CROP, the com­ munity hunger appeal of Church World Service. Mrs. Sobczak is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and is currently teaching private piano and organ students.

TIL NEXT TIME Congressman, Chamber To Sponsor Conference College Offers Metric Course At West Campus Eight years from now, when the United States goes metric, many of as are going to feel like we just jirrived in a foreign country. t < The speed limit signs will read "89 kilometers per hour'.'. A man who is a 6-footer will be a 183-centimeter-er. And a first down and 10 to go will become first and 9.1 meters, which should lend to confusion among the football fans. If you don't want to grab the nearest 10-year-old every time you encounter a difficulty between pounds and grams, it's just common sense to "go metric^ Leargjuig the metric system and iKjlsages in every day life is notw that mind-boggling. In fact, timing a course one night a weekvior six weeks is all it takes. McHenry County college is offering this ideal course at two of their ten area locations, which are scattered about the county. All anyone will ever want to know about the metric system is covered in these classes. "It is very simple," says Iiowell Moore of Harvard, one of the instructors of the metrics course The math involved is much easier than U.S. measurements, he assures. Moore should know, as he has been teaching metrics in his science and math classes at Harvard Junior high school for five years. This will be his first chance at teaching the skills in using the metric system to an older age group If he can teach a 12-year-old metrics, he should have no problem teaching adults Starting Sept 29, Moore's class-will be held at Harvard Junior high school Wednesday- evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. Also held on Wednesday evenings at the same time will he Karl Kyle's course, in metrics at a different location. Kyle, of McHenry, will be teaching the course at McHenry Community high school West campus • And he will feel right at home, as Kyle teaches high level mathematics at the high school Both of these classes in metrics are just two of McHenry County college's 1B0 Adult Education classes, which are made more available to the people by offering them at convenient locations, like at one of your town's grade schools Besides the Harvard and McHenry area locations, the ( ollefle holds classes in Ifehrjpn (ary.

An­ derson (R-Ill.) has announced that he and the local Chambers of Commerce are sponsoring a Conference on Business Op­ portunities in Federal Procurement. It will be held Friday, Sept. 24 at the Clock Tower inn in Rockford. Anderson explained the purpose of the conference; "The U.S. Government is the highest dollar volume pur­ chaser of goods and services in the world. However, the record shows that all too many businesses, espcially the smaller firms miss out on sales opportunities because of lack of information or know-how on the federal procurement process. "This conference is designed to provde basic and detailed procurement information. Additionally, a special seminar will be held to explore op­ portunities in the rapidly ex­ panding export market. Ex­ perts from various Federal agencies and specialists from prime contractors will be on hand for discussion and per­ sonal counseling." Over 2,000 area businesses have been invited to send representatives. Further in­ formation can be obtained from Congressman Anderson's district office at 401 W. State street in Rockford, (962-8807). PRAIRIE DAY Governor Daniel Walker has proclaimed Saturday, Sept. 25, as Illinois Praire Day in recognition of the great in­ fluence of prairie on the history of Illinois. The Morton Ar­ boretum will hold its annual Fall Festival Friday and Saturday, Sept. 24 and 25, and the theme of the festival will celebrate the prairie. Several other institutions and universities throughout the state will also conduct ob­ servances of this date. spurgeons Super Buys on Men's Leisure Suits SAVE 17% - 75% An exciting "6 way99 Men's Wardrobe for College, Business or Dress wear. 6 DIFFERENT OUTFITS ON ONE HANGER! • BLAZER SPORT COAT • MATCHING SLACKS • CONTRASTING SLACKS • REVERSIBLE VEST • REVERSIBLE BELT REG. *9000 VALUE NOW '75 00 2 PIECE (JACKET & PANT) 100% POLYESTER DOUBLEKNIT Leisure Suits 5 NEW FALL COLORS REG. *50°° NOW *3888 SIZES 36 to 46 Other Leisure Suits & Coordinate Jackets & Pants Reduced Again!
