The Village of Holiday Hills CHERI HOGLUND ROSEMARY HOLTZ 385-3944 344-0615 Brownies Entertain With Christmas Songs The Mormon Tabernacle choir it isn't, but to the residents at Sheltering Oaks the voices were / just as beautiful as if it /were the multitude of angelic host on that first Christmas long ago proclaiming the Saviour's birth. The twenty-three little girls from Brownie Troop 409 gave of their love and joy for this holiday season. The Brownies who lifted their voices in song were: Maureen Connell, Debbie* Holtz, Jill and Kris Hoglund, Vickie and Gloria Mayo, Jody Fortino, Laura and Jill Saunders, Denise Ozyuk, Heather Olson, Nancy Prattf Val Nothnagel, Diana Hill, Diana Thomas and leaders, Debbie Mayo and Pat Fortino and moms, Rosemary Holtz and Cheri Hoglund. This evening was made more enjoyable as those living at Sheltering Oaks joined the girls in singing their favorite Christmas carols. An ap preciative troop then partook of hot chocolate on this cold, cold night. They exclaimed as they drove out of sight to return soon to cheer the lives of these people. MERRY CHRISTMAS The Christmas season brought joy as well as hap piness to many families who are not as fortunate as we. Rick Connell along with Mike Priko, Craig Johnson, Brian and Tim Pender dedicated several days unselfishly to the gathering of assorted food stuffs which the FISH organization then distributed among those in need. Troop 162 was also respon sible for collecting and refurbishing toys for the children in the area. It was truly a blessed holy day for these families who received, but more so for the boys who realized the true meaning of the spirit of this Christmas season. A VISIT FROM SANTA Debbie, Lori and Joey Holtz along with their cousin, Mike Bemus, enjoyed a visit with Santa at the home of their grandparents, George and Sophie Lubas of McHenry Shores. Santa came with a bag full of candy and toys for each child and a promise that he would be returning soon with a sack full of presents for all the good boys and girls. SCHOOL DAZE The children from Holiday Hills did their very best at their Wonder Lake Mary Jean Huff 728 0267 r Renee Ruzicka adds her personal touch to the Christmas tree that the Wonder Lake Cub Scout Pack 145 gave to members of their community.

Chris# Connell wa§ honored last week when she received a trophy and major letter for her participation and excellent performance in the sport of field hockey. The letters are rarely given to anyone outside the junior or senior classes and Chris, who is only a freshman this year, has three more years of awards to look forward to. Also honored with a trophy was Gigi Smith. Congratulations to both girls. Not only is Chris active in field hockey but she did her best for the East campus basketball team which was coached by Debbie Mahon to a thrilling victory over the arch rivals West campus team. Right on Chris, Debbie and Gigi. BIRTHDAY BOUQUETS Are shared by Maureen Connell and Scott Thietje on the twenty-sixth. A PLEA As the New year approaches please remember that drinking and driving don't mix so be CANCER Answerkline American CaflcarSodtty f PAGE 13 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 29. 197* (Editor Note: This is a regular feature, prepared by the American Cancer society with cooperation of the McHenry County Unit, Eustice Klein, president, to help save your life from cancer.) A senior citizen writes: I know a lot of people who have had cancer and been treated and lived to a ripe old age. Now I know someone who is refusing to be treated and is going to have some quack cure. Why on earth do intelligent people go to quacks?" ANSWERline: There are many answers to that question, but perhaps one of the most insightful comes from Orville Kelly, a cancer patient who founded "Make Today Count", an organization of people with life-threatening illness. When very careful coming home from the festivities you have at tended. HAVE A NICE DAY he became a public speaker telling about his personal cancer experience and emotions, he was besieged by people pushing "miraculous" cures including "magic sleeping boards", "asparagus diets, psychic surgery, and laetrile, a substance made from apricot pits." "I think that I would rather have cancer," Kelly said when one woman suggested a tumbler full of castor dff mixed with olive oil, every hour on the hour But, he has noted, "desperate people do desperate things-when a patient's life is involved-emotions overcome skepticism." People ad vocating "miracle" cures often prey on these emotions. This can lead to tragic results, especially when legitimate treatment that might make a life or death difference is withheld. Perhaps a talk with the people at ^our local American Cancer society unit would break the hold the "miracle cure" has on your friend's thinking. It's worth a try. A salesman asks: "Not long ago my wife had to have breast removed because cancer, and she is worried that she will lose the other breast too Can you tell me anything to allay her fears?" ANSWERline: This is a question that can be answered by your wife's regular physician or breast surgeon, and perhaps the chance to speak with them will help both of you. The basic facts are these: The woman who has had cancer in one breast is at higher risk of developing cancer in her other breast. But this does not happen often. To protect her health, your wife should be having regular checkups and she should dp breast self-examination of her remaining breast each month. Your local American Cancer society unit has special Reach to Recovery information just for women who have had breast surgery. Both you and your wife might find this material extremely helpful in answefing many of the questions that you might have.

At the present time both the FDA and industry are conducting testing of many other colors used in food, drugs and cosmetics, to make sure that whatever is used has been adequately shown t6 be safe. 1 Answers To WU Katvs 1.
