PAGE • ̂ PLAINDE ALER - WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 14, Wt ARL WALSH" did with ail the vegetables, yrhe reply: We eat what we can and what we can't, we So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR- GRANDMA Ann (Sullivan> Sowers goes to the head of the class for her amusing story in last Wednesday's issue about the clash between their dog and the black kitty with the stripes down Jts back. Whew! 'Twas funny to us, but not to the Sowers family. / It is good to get a good laugh once in a while to balance our sanity after reading about women and children being shelled in a refuge camp. B Having some sixty American citizens being held hostage by so-called students in Iran is another news item that makes the blood pressure rise. Such atrocities makes one wonder where the United Nations organization comes into the picture. Meetings i and vetoes aren't enough. The time honored Monroe Doctrine is long gone forgotten. Many foreign countries hate our country- except when they need our ^aid. .... Well, I'll get off that soap box and on with other thoughts -- if any. Elaine Gray, former McHenryite who paid us a visit recently, sends a nice Hello note to say she hasn't forgotten about her promise to let us know the date of McHenry Day in Tarpon Springs, Florida. We have it -- Nov. 17th. -- as reported by Pa\iline and Bill Pries. .. f Elaine ^went back to Florida, then took a unex- Ipected trip to Arizona to visit Hfer daughter. She will miss the big day. Having become the unofficial clearing house for the Florida McHenryites, S.I.H. has had some inquiries. Glad to be of some help. T H E T E N N E S S E E WALTZ - Notre Dame fans will not soon forget the way Ten­ nessee's football team waltzed over the Irish to the unbelievable tune of 40 to 8. That big loss will set the stage for the Notre Dame alumni to go after Coach Devine's scalp. Never - to - be - forgotten Knute Rockne spoiled N.D. fans. Anything but an un­ beaten season is totally unacceptable. The calendar is closing in on Thanksgiving and another early deadline. Not a word has been spoken about it, but Editor "Brenda" has posted signs where all can see. Slick trick! Thanksgiving never arrives that memory doesn't carry us to back to the bobsled rides to grandma's farm. There was plenty of straw in the sled box and horse blankets to cover us. Not many cars in those days and no snow plows. The only snow plow was a strong back and a scoop shovel. No sane person would attempt to drive a car during the winter. It was time to drain the radiator, jack up the wheels, and put a big sheet-like cover over the car. Old Timers called the gas buggies "machines". We were proud to learn that Barry Anderson, Tom Jablonski and Ed Hughes of the Warrior football team were selected on the Fox Valley Conference All-Star team. Don't think I mentioned Hughes after the last game. Throughout the season Ed was a rugged competitor for the Warriors. When the going was rough, he was in the thick of the action. A larger than usual crowd gathered at the American Legion home Sunday af­ ternoon to join the Veterans in honoring those brave men who gave their lives for their country. We won't attempt a news story in this space, but must say it was an impressive program. Commander Guy White opened with well-chosen words then turned the MC duties over to Bernie Mat- chen, who ably handled the program in hi£ easy, natural way. The McHenry High School Band drew admiration, showing talent and training. No Veteran's Day ob­ servance would be complete without Shirley Smith singing those songs they love to hear. How those World War One Vets brighten up when she lets out with "My Buddy". Shirley is their buddy and those old boys lover her. SUNDAY SUNSHINE: The Chicago Bears beat the LosAngeles Rams. The Green Bay Packers beat the Minnesota Vikings. --And, Bev Justen will be singing "The Pack Is Back" all week. The city lady went to visit her country counsin. Noticing the large garden, the city miss asked what she can. LAKE REGION YMCA NEWS McHENRY OFFICE PRODUCTS, INC. 803 N.

"Preventive measures are a whole lot cheaper than medical treatment these days", Baaske said. "Of course, YMCA car­ d i o v a s c u l a r f i t n e s s programs can't totally p r e v e n t c o r o n a r y problems," he hastened to add.
