PACE I - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY J. I9« "EARL WALSH So I Hear Goodbye, January. Close the door from Ith outside and don't go thinkin you are missed. * the All we have to worry about now is the groundhog sticking his neck out. Maybe we should snare the little devil and keep him out. After our comment last week about card shops, the mailman brought a beautiful St. Patrick's Day card signed: "Surprise! Barb's Hallmark Shop Dale and Barb" That card did two things. It gladdened my Irish heart and showed the girls are readers of S.I.H. Others who say they follow this chatter are the John Boyles of McCullom Lake. Hadn't seen them in several moons and the meeting was all sunshine. The last Hurrah at Bim bo's before they closed shop for three weeks found us sitting next to our good friends, Tom and Kitty Evans. Discussing ages (mine in particular) brought a con clusion that we will meet again ten years hence, same place, same station. Tom made a reservation with Eddie Bimbo. Larry Lund came back to McHenry to attend a Rotary uaii-iiui>i\3 says. HOST40 LBS. meeting looking like he is eating three squares a day. Inquiring for Grandma Lynn, we learned she is very busy and happy with their grandchild. Now, there's a young looking grandma. We saw further proof that a business can close down for a spell during the winter and bounce right back when reopening. McHenry Country Club was closed during January, then the doors swung open Friday night to welcome a large crowd returning like birds in the spring. With Sib and Dorothy Whiting, we toured down to the club and enjoyed about as sociable a time as one could imagine. The ever-genial manager and hostess were right there to greet and seat Officers of the club, Pres. Ed Buss, V P. Joe Gausden and Fran Herrmann were on hand to spread out the welcome mat. From out of town came Irv and Elaine Laures with guests. Twas fun to gab with them. Casting our eyes around . . . In a couple of months.

Chuck Miller pulled up a chair and what a time we had recalling earlier days. Chuck said his first steady job as a boy was tending furnace and other janitorial services in our office in the Pries building. No wonder he remembered. His salary was $1.25 per week! Back for the reopening was our waitress, Veronica. The way she took care of us was enough to make us look forward to returning. We hear Chapel Hill Country Club is reopening this weekend. Must give it a whirl one of these nights. SONGS ON THE BRAIN THIS WEEK: Don't Sit Under That Apple Tree With Anyone Else But Me. So Long. It's Been Nice To Know You. Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone. Sometime ago we reported that Joe and Lorraine Gausden do all their betting on games right at home so the cash can't get away. All in the family. Now we learn Lorraine has branched out and is taking Dick Weber down the line. She's going to collect as soon as she can catch him.

S&L President's Views J. - • _ Are Cautiously Optimistic "Cautiously optimistic" were the key words voiced by Charles M.a Adams, president of McHenry Savings and Loan association, at the S & L's annual stockholders meeting Jan. 25. In his report to the members, Adams said that 1981 "saw a new wave of tight money, extremely high interest rates, a decline in savings deposits, intense competition for the saving dollar and a resultant shortage of lendable funds." While high interest rates plagued virtually all sectors of the American economy last year, Adams continued, it was the government's inability to bring the rate problem under control that is especially frustrating to the savings and loan business. Nevertheless, he felt 1962 would bring about some measure of im provement. Stockholders reelected the directors for another year. They are Frederick C. Cappetta, George M. Freund, Alfred D. Goebbert, Kathleen E. Marinangel, James R. Marinangel, G. Dale Pate, Joseph N. Sikes, Charles Weingart and Robert C. Winkle. Arnold J. Rauen, one of the S k L's founders, continues as a director emeritus. Mrs. Marinangel was elected McHenry Savings' chairman of the boftrd. Other officers are Charles M. Adams, president; James R. Marinangel, executive « vice-president; Virginia Aalto, vice- president and secretary; Frederick C. Cappetta, Rosemary Bielawa and Joan D. Larkin, assistant secretaries. Sunnyside Area Betty Messer 344-2494 Girl Needs Blood Donors Several times in recent weeks I have mentioned little Erin Slugga of Sun nyside who is suffering from a blood disease called aplastic anemia. I was told that blood could be donated in her name at the McHenry hospital, but I just learned that the hospital cannot accept blood donations because they do not have the facilities to do so, or to store the blood. Erin has type O-negative blood and must go to Children's Memorial hospital in Chicago twice a week for treatments. The blood platlettes are essential in the treatment of aplastic anemia. The Aurora Blood Bapk has informed us that there will be a blood drive in February. The drive will be held at Grace Lutheran church, 311 Washington street, Woodstock, Feb. 11. Donations of blood can be given between the hours of 3 and 7 p.m. Those who wish to give blood in Erin's name may do so by informing them that it is for Erin and they will see that it goes to Children's Memorial in her name. I am grateful to those who called me to ask were they go to donate blood for this little girl. There will also be a blood drive sometime in March in McHenry. The time and place have not as yet been decided. VILLAGE VEHICLE STICKERS Village of Sunnyside vehicle stickers are due by Feb. 15, but due to the cold and stormy weather we have had this month, people have not been able to get out and purchase their stickers. President Mitchell ex tended the deadline for displaying the 1982 stickers to Feb. 28, to give those who have not been able to get out a chance to purchase them. As of Mar. 1, police will be issuing tickets to those who fail to display the current sticker. Stickers are available from village clerk Betty Messer at 1405 W.

Mrs. Britt is now a resident of Sarasota Fla. Mock United Nations Assembly At School Thursday, Feb. 4 and Friday, Feb. 5, the American Studies classes of McHenry high school will participate in a Mock United Nation assembly. Students from both East and West campus will be convening in the West campus theatre. Countries from North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East will be represented. After extensive research, students have literally become experts on their countries. A proposal was also required from each student dealing with economic problems, food shortages, , illiteracy, disarmament and human rights. After* proposals were written, they were sent to one of three committees for approval. Students have* been preparing for this since December. r i. .: In April, some of these students will be par ticipating in a Mock United Nations Assembly to be held at the University of Wisconsin at Platteville. They will be among delegates from all oveF the Midwest. The American Studies class is a combination of history and English. The class is designed for those students preparing for college. Alternative School Helps In Recycling The recycling drive Saturday, Feb. 6, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Market Place parking lot, will be sponsored jointly by the Alternative high school of McHenry and the McHenry County Defenders. Persons particpating should bring to the drive any of the following items: Newspapers securely tied (no magazines, cardboard or junk mail); glass containers rinsed with all metal and plastic removed; steel ("tin") cans washed and flattened; used motor oil; and aluminum scrap of all kinds. There is also an im mediate pay-back for all- aluminum cans brought to the drive. "In addition to helping the participating organizations, recyclers are helping to solve the problems of the earth's limited natural resources," according to a McHenry County Defenders spokesman. "The U.S., which has only 7 percent of the earth's population, uses nearly 50 percent of the earth's industrial raw materials. In our own self- interest, every one should attempt to stretch the earth's resources in every way possible," the spokesman added. For further information call the McHenry County Defenders representative at 385-8512.
