Grandma Sez , What wi' me concern o'er th' recent 'lection, an' general state o' affairs o' things, these days, me ol' rockin' chair 's been doin' a lot o' groanin; an' squeakin'. Thinkin't' git this ol' granny's mind on other things, th' recent program, on th' tube, reviewin' movies for past number o' years, offered an' int'restin' three hours, an' it surely wasn't disappointin'. Nostalgic memories crossed me mind, a thinkin' about all th' fine shows, brought back f'r just a moment, an' th' fine quality o' actin' that went into th' makin' o' 'em. A seein' remnants o' those shows made such a contrast t' what's a bein V sold, these days, f'r en^v ' 'iesf'% ioned movies, once again. Seems t' this ol' lady, who hasn't lost all int rest in th' romantic, that th' subtle handlin o' th' sex int'rest, which was done wi' such finesse a few years ago, "Turned folks on," as they say t'day, a lot more 'n th' bawdy stuff they feed t' th' public these days. Th' way, in which proud producers presented th' passions o' male, an' female, brought out th' finer side o' th' human sex relations. These days, seems that th' emphasis is on th' lust tertainment, that one wishes f' some good ol'-fashione an' greed o' both sexes, an' all it tends t' accomplish is t' make 'm anxious t' satisfy their physical needs, resultin' in th' gradual deterioration o' society, an' th' general relations, an' attitude b'tween men an' women. Th' harm ain't only wi' th' adults, but th' younguns ha' been affected too, an' th' pity is that th' beauty o' romantic moments, b'tween a man an' a woman, in love, has been cheapened wi' th' raw ex­ ploitation o' sex we've allowed t' be perpetrated on society. It's healthy t' have dreams o' love an' romance, an' all th' fan­ tasies ha' been removed from th' minds o' th' young, wi' th' coarse, unrefined realities o' sexual relations among humans, no different 'n that b'tween animals. Th' saddest part o' it all, that parents take th' modern at­ titude, an' teach th' young how t' "Keep from gettin' into trouble." Seems that we'd welcome th' day, when entertainment, movies, an' th' tube 'd try t' bring back some o' th' lovely attitudes toward love b'tween th' sexes, an' try t' raise it above th' animal instinct toward th' sex act.

It is less than a month away; however, the volunteer workers at the Little Christophers charitable shop complex have the spirit of giving and helping others fifty- two weeks of the year. The Little Christophers complex of shops is located in Crystal Lake. It was originated less than three years ago under the auspices of the St. Thomas Catholic Women's club. The shop is managed by Mary Collins and her co-manager, Mary Kay Scott. It consists of a complex of small shops where one can wander from recycled clothing to handmade items by the hundreds, from there to antique furniture and fur­ nishings and on again to another collection of handmade items. According to Virginia Howley, manager of the Creative Hands shop, han­ dicapped and creative people are able to display and market their wares in the Creative Hands shop on a consignment basis. There are items for all ages. The efforts of the volunteers has resulted in material aid of clothing and furniture to families who have suffered losses as a result of fire, flood, etc. Materials have been provided for rehabilitation in handicapped childrens' homes, veterans' hospitals and nursing homes in the county. Through the cooperation of Mary Collins of the Little Christophers shop and Gerry Kuck, publicity chairman of the Ladies auxiliary to Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4600 of McHenry, the Veterans ad­ ministration hospital of North Chicago rehabilitation department has benefited through the generosity of the "Little Christophers". 344-iOig The Little Christopher's Complex of shops in Crystal Lake features the "Creative Hands" shop which features handmade items, some of which are shown above.
