"My husband spent the first six months of this year in a hospital and is still unable to work. I get up every morning and go to work so that my girls (and their Dad) have clothes on their backs and food in their stomachs. "The wrist watch they stole represents ap­ proximately three days' work. "And the parents will probably not even question where their daughter's new clothes and watch came from. "West campus provided no kind of an aide in the locker room and therefore made everything very easy for this theft to take place. "So that the parents will know to thank me for their daughter's clothes, the pants are rust corduroy, size 5, the sweater is white, long sleeved with a flower in maroon color on the left side and the Timex watch has a brown plastic band. "Norma Lenz "1619 N. High view Avenue "McHenry" PRO-FAMILY "Dear Editor: "Recently during the national convention at Detroit, the Republican party stated that they are in opposition to the ratification of the Equal Rights amend­ ment, against abortion and against equal rights for homosexuals. A few weeks later in New York City the Democratic party demon­ strated their support for ratification of the E.R.A., Pro-abortion and Equal Rights for homosexuals. "These are crucial issues that you and I are faced with today. Who's right? Is E R A. beneficial or is it not! Why is there so much disparity between so many people? How do these questions affect you and your family? The answer lies in knowledge. I'm afraid that you and I have failed to take the time to examine the ramifications that these issues might have on our future lives and the lives of our children. "I urge you to attend and to support the Northern Illinois Pro-Family con­ ference to be held on Mon­ day, Oct. 6 at Crescent Bay Landing in Johnsburg. "I'm convinced that there are many destructive forces in our country today - organized forces that are anti-family, anti-morality, anti-children and anti-life that we need to be informed of as they relate to our personal (livelihoods and as to the decisions we must make in the future. The Pro- Family conference, I feel will help meet that need. "Yours very truly, ' "David W.

The object of the contest is to locate and recognize the largest member of each species of tree known in McHenry county. "The search for big trees is really a way of paying attention to our cultural and natural heritage," says interpretive naturalist John Shiel. "Our big trees are the only living witnesses to the changes that have tran­ sferred the presettlement landscape into today's en­ vironment." Any tree growing in McHenry county may be entered in the contest, whether it is a native or an introduced species. Each person who nominates a tree will receive a certificate of recognition, and winners will be offered a selection of seedlings available through the District in conjunction with Arbor Day activities in April. The criteria established by the American Forestry association Big Tree contest are used to measure McHenry County Big Tree candidates. Measurements and identification of potential champions will be field-checked by a forester of the McHenry County Con­ servation district. A representative of the Illinois Department of Con­ servation's Division of Forestry will check any potential state champions. For a registration form, including measurement instructions and a list of current county champions, write Big Tree Contest, MCCD, 6512 Harts Road, Ringwood, 111 60072 The cutoff date for entries this year is Oct. 15. * * * * Towns and cities, like some individuals, seek to get rich without earning the returns. * • • * It is not "un-Ameri­ can" to disagree with others, regardless of what positions they occupy. PAGE 18 - PLA1NPEALKH - FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER H, II McHenry Highjjahts FACTS FROM McHENRY COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL If you don't have a maid- why should your child have one0 That provocative question is posed by author Barbara Kaye Greenleaf in Working Mother magazine. Mothers who don't insist their children take an active part in running the house are not only cheating themselves of needed help, they're also denying children "a unique opportunity to have a real role in the family, to learn domestic skills and to develop a sense of respon­ sibility," writes Ms. Greenleaf. Start them as young as possible, she recommends: even toddlers can begin to dress and undress them­ selves and put away their toys. Nursery-age children can set the table, collect laundry, water plants and do other simple chores First- graders can maintain their own rooms, make their own breakfasts and lunches, and begin to help with general housekeeping After that, suggests the author, "whatever you do, children can do." How to get them to agree" Ms Greenleaf suggests: -Don't waffle and don't depend on volunteers. -Make a game of it Get kid-sized household tools and work alongside the child •Insist your babysitter back you up, giving concrete instructions if he or she tends to baby your children too much. - Set up a system allotting each family member the jobs he or she dislikes least, and rotate the really hated ones. - Be generous with ap­ plause, tactful with criticism-and firm in your expectations. (Article provided by Illinois Association of School Boards News Service) Health and cheerfulness mutually beget each other. -Joseph Addison. There is nothing more beautiful than cheer­ fulness in an old face. -Jean Paul Richter.
