\ V ...... When... t (with long time subscribers) MR. AND MRS. LOUIS BLOCK "I can remember the first time my father took me fishing," Louis said. "I was about 6-y ears-old." "We walked along the road from the house on John street, across the Owen firm (what is now East campus), through the woods (the Country Club subdivision) to the Fox river where we caught perch, some of them 8 to 12 inches long." "Then there was the baseball game between the White Sox and the McHenry team, which was managed at the time by Dick Walsh," he said. "In the fourth inning, 'Buck' Weaver, the Sox second baseman, walked out to second base, sat down on the bag and started eating a small bag of peanuts in the shell." "A ball was hit in his direction and Weaver sprang to his feet, fieldfed the ball, threw the runner out and then sat back down and continued eating his peanuts." Louis said his father came to America from Germany when he was 15^y ears-old and Louis was born on the John street homestead. The McHenry Plaindealer has always been in the Block home and the Blocks particularly enjoy the Musin and Meanderin column and the general news of the community. / Greenwood Day At County Museum The fall season is upon this part of Illinois again, and one good way to experience it is with a short drive to the McHenry County Historical Museum in Union this Sunday, Sept. 23. For the second year in a row, the folks of Greenwood, organized by historical society board members Clara Vogel and Alice and Leta Clark, will gather at the museum for a good old-time craft and harvest festival. Lots of activities are planned for the Greenwood program including demonstrations in chair caning, candle dipping, oil painting, and rug braiding. Someone will also be on hand to operate the grindstone and corn shelter. Wander back to an earlier time as a group of Greenwood women gather for a quilting bee, much like the pioneer women before them, and listen a moment while strolling through the music room to tunes like "Turkey-in- the-Straw" played by a fiddler. And, if this were not enough for craft and history buffs, there will be special displays, the Greenwood Handy-Helpers 4-H club will set up a fall arrangement, and, at 2 p.m., children from Greenwood school will treat museum visitors to an old-fashioned spelling bee. While the kids don't date back to the 1880's, the spelling book used for the spelling bee will. Attendance ran high for the last Greenwood Day at the museum, so come early and see it all. Visitors aje encouraged to support the preservation of McHenry county history by becoming members of the historical society. The museum will be open from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. There is a small ad­ mission charge for non- members. Slim Silhouette In For Fall FHOSP I ITAL NOTES The slim silhouette is in.

During all center hours there are instructors on hand to teach the skills wanted to learn and to help progress in skills. On any given day in the AVT center one will find both men and women of varied ages. Some learn personal typing, to polish their skills before going back to work, or to gain ad­ ditional skills that will help on their jobs. Others come to earn college credit which they can apply towards a degree, to take proficiency examinations and receive credit for what they already know, or just as a new hobby. The individualized classes in the center can also prepare for further study in fields such as computer technology and word processing. Now that area schools are back in session, many parents come to the MCC center because it is an ideal place to learn by arranging their classroom hours around their family's schedule. Parents with pre-school children can also arrange to use the MCC Drop-In Day Care center while they learn secretarial skills in the AVT center.
