She handled both the bond, stock trading, and short-term investments for the fund. An article appeared in the Institutional Investors magazine of June, 1975, praising her as follows: "While one can find public plan administrators who are required to do as many things as Fanning, does, public pension experts report that there are few who do them quite as well."

Grandma Sez . . . m & United Methodist Women Hear Speaker At Meeting Well, April sure played a "Fooler" on us, this year, an' jist when folks had b'gun t' git idees o' fussin' about in th' garden. Wi' Easter here and gone, we git th' feelin' Spring is here now, but ne'er can tell about weather in this mid-western country, one day summer an' th' next knee-deep in snow. But me thinks we wouldn't trade it f'r far away places, wi' more uncertainties 'n right here. Interruptions, when this granny was about gettin' an Easter message off t' me readers, makes this late, but th' wishes f'r a happy s p r i n g t i m e , r e m a i n t h ' same, an' better late than ne'er, so, may th' spirit that filled our hearts at th' Easter season, r'main wi' us all th' year through. 'Tis a pity, nations spawn wars wi' one another, through greed f'r power o'er people an' bounties o' th' land. Seems t' this ol' lady, havin' lived t' see four wars, involvin' our country, that no leader, how e'er high his hopes may be, can solve th' differences b'tween nations, bent on exertin' power o'er others. It does this heart good, t' know o' so many young folk seekin' leadership through those perfessin't' be guided by th' teachin' o' Jesus Christ. There'll come a time, when God'lovin' people may be influential in a bringin' peace t' this beautiful world. At Easter time, th' thought o' "Love f'r fellow-men," is upmost in th' hearts o' people, all o'er th' face o' this earth. One would think th' power o' that love could change the world. Man's ingenuity created weapons o' war, tools t' kill human bein's., Sad was th' day when th' first one was made. Th' more there are, th' greater th' mistrust among nations. We know there are fears that our America, as we know it, a land o' free people, may be destroyed, an' as long as that fear exists, we find ourselves immersed in th' battle o' th' wits. Seems there's no answer. May God guide those at th' head o' gover'ments, all o'er th' world, t' lead us to a state o' peaceful brotherhood. As we enjoy this Spring season, let that be our prayer, as it is that o' this granny, every day o' me life. Grandma Radtke Other services offered by CP&A include a tots' discussion group, children's p a r t i e s , p r e s c h o o l e r playgroups, programs which feature authorities speaking on subjects of interest to parents and a bimonthly newsletter. Anyone wishing more information about the Childbirth and Parenting association may call Mrs. Rodger (Bobbie) Bechtold of Woodstock, or Mrs. Kurt (Julie) Smith of McHenry.

In order to serve McHenry area brides, the Plaindealer mails wedding forms to all whose engagements have been announced in the paper and carry a definite date. We ask that these completed forms be returned three days before the wedding. The story containing all the information given on the form will appear only during the week following the wedding, except in the case of out-of-state weddings, where an additional week is allowed. Forms received the second week after the wedding will be prin­ ted with the omission of a description of the attire worn. Photographs will be printed any time later, or will be included with the wedding information if they accompany the story at the prescribed deadline. If your engagement announcement has not been published, or if the date of the wedding was not known at that time, please call our office and request that a marriage form be sent. Space problems experienced by a non-daily newspaper, and a desire to print up-to-date news, make this policy necessary.
