How nice to see the roads again, and . to wave to our neighbors and friends. We look for the first green slips of green of the coming tulips and hyacinths. Soon it will be Easter, and Fish is making plans now for baskets for needy families. Any contributions one would like to make of food items, paper products, candy, may be brought to St. Patrick's church basement, McHenry. Use the door to the left side of the vestibule. These may be brought on Saturday, April 7 and Sunday (a.m. only), April 8. Please bring cartons, if possible. Volunteers will be needed to prepare the baskets on Sunday morning, April 8. The Girl Scouts have offered to be with us, too. Deliveries will be made as soon as boxes are ready. If a person prefers to send a check or certificate from a supermarket, please address the envelope to Fish, Box 282, McHenry, 111., 60050. FISH can always use more volunteers to carry on our telephone lines and also for transportation. One is asked to offer one day a month for telephone calls that come up with reauests for rides to the doctor, hospital, etc., or one day a month to take folks to the hospital, doctor, etc. Possibly a husband and wife team can work together, or two neigh­ bors. Give it some serious thought and let us answer your questions. There are no dues, no meetings to attendV but lots of satisfaction through helping others. Call FISH, 385-0258, or^te FISH, Box 282, McHenry^ Illinois, 60050. Kindness is a warm breeze in a frigid climate - a radiant heat that melts the icebergs of fear, distrust and unhappiness! M.G. Fog Cancels THEOS Program The T.H.E.O.S. group met at a restaurant on Route 120 on Monday, March 19 at 5:30 p.m. The crowd was rather small due to the fact that the "fog" was beginning to appear. A nice leisurely dinner was enjoyed; however, it had become so very "foggy" that it was unanimously agreed that it would be better for everyone to go home, rather than return to the church for the program. Mae Stinespring and Margaret Andersen, hostesses, reached the speakers and cancelled the program. The next meeting will be on Monday, April 16 at 5:30 p.m., when Marian Doenecke and Dorothy Yeoman will be the hostesses. As soon as they decide upon the restaurant, location will be published. T.H.E.O.S., "To Help Each Other Smile", is a non- denominational group, for widows and widowers, meeting the third Monday of each month at 5:30 p.m. for dinner, then going to the First United Methodist church for a meeting and program. LAURETTE WEDELL Lori Robertson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald L. Robertson, McHenry, and Laurette Wedell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Wedell, Island lake, have been selected to be finalists in the 1979 Illinois Miss Teen-USA pageant to be held at the Sheraton-Oakbrook, June 29 and 30, and July 1. The pageant is the official state­ wide finals for the Miss Teen- USA to be held in Albuqueque, New Mexico in November, 1979. Contestants from all over the state will be competing for the title. All contestants are between the ages of 14 and 18 and must have at least a "B" average in school. They are requested to participate in the community service program of the Miss Teen-USA pageant. Through this program many youngsters are becoming involved in community activities by contributing at least twelve hours of time to LORIROBERTSON some worthwhile charity or civic work. Among the prizes the winner of the Illinois Miss Teen-USA pageant will receive is a self- improvement course, cash scholarship to the school of her choice, and an all expense paid trip to the national finals where she will compete for $15,000 in scholarships, $2,000 in wardrobe, the use of a new automobile for the reigning year and a $2,000 personal appearance contract. Contestants will be judged on scholastic and civic achievements, beauty, poise and personality. The contestants may choose to give either a two minute speech on "My Favorite Patriot" or a two minute patriotic talent presentation. Speeches will be judged on content and delivery. Talent will be judged on originality and performance. No swimsuit competition is required.

A service and social club, the Newcomers group has undertaken several fund-raising events, including the Cutest Baby contest during Fiesta Days, for the benefit of the community. Membership information may be obtained from jlidie Wilcox at 385-4650. UMW Genera l Mee t ing Acts Or¥ Large Agenda With the Priscilla circle hosting, the Agape luncheon was shared as the high point of March meeting, before oving on to the many items of business on the busy agenda of the United Methodist Women at their monthly general meeting. Veretta Gerstad, chairlady of the spring Rummage Sale advised that rummage can be brought to the church basement beginning the week of March 25. Dates and times are Friday, April 6 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday, April 7, from 8 a.m. to noon. Pick-up for large items can be arranged by calling the church office, 385- 0931. Veretta has a list of volunteers to help on this project, but there is still room for more workers. Marilyn Haines reported on the activities of the building committee whose meeting she attended. In order for the Evening circle to feel more involved, two evening meetings are being scheduled, one in June and the other in September, both at 7:30 p.m. Pat Esposito talked about the "Crop Walk" on Palm Sunday, at 1:30 p.m., at Moraine Hills state park, urging members to walk or sponsor walkers on the ten mile hike. The Mother and Daughter banquet scheduled for May 17 was discussed, and a program interesting to both children and adults is being planned. On April 3. both the Marcia Mary Bell circle and the Ruth circle will be meeting at the church at noon. Members of both circles bring their own sandwiches and the hostesses serve the dessert and beverages. At the conclusion of the circle meetings, a Tee Shirt demonstration party is scheduled for 1:30 p.m ., with an open invitation to friends and guests to attend the demon­ stration party. This party should be very interesting, and the U.M.W. will serve coffee and cookies. Everyone is most welcome to attend. The next U.M.W. general meeting is scheduled for Thursday, April 19, at noon, and will be a potluck luncheon with the Marcia Mary Ball circle as hostesses. * * * * An unintentional error is often stupid but not as stupid as the derision which sometimes greets it. • * * * One of the most valu­ able discoveries about so- called big men is that under the skin they are just ordinary little men. • • * * The trouble with spring is that it makes you too lazy to work.
