AUGUST 27.1M2 So I Hear Guess 1 got carried away on the last column-- the horse age. Without a brain cell working, I wish somebody would set me off on a subject for this issue. Hay* been looking through stacks of old pictures until my eyes are blurred, like I failed to follow advice *© others about writing names on the back of pictures. Things are looking up in our pantry department. We weren't home Sunday when somebody left a sack of wax beans at our door. If those beans (my favorite kind) didn't come from Oak Park, my detective work needs sharpening. Now comes Bob Kilday with some historical information that will help greatly. He also brought some choice apples to Alvina so she can make some ] (Guess he noticed I am 1c pekid.) Nothing can compare with being remembered by good friends. For>any years I have said that every chdRhahould have a cry room where parents can take their babies and still witness the services through the glassed enclosure. I'll bet anything that parents of small little darlings would be the first to agree. With high school football just around the corner, sports fans always want to know if local teams have any size. Size means a lot, but there is always the old saying to remember: "It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog." For all I know Dick Rabbitt may have been in Timbuctu this summer. I remember that crack he made in his final column of the spring about coming back in the fall so Alvina I just can't believe this is happening. He died so quickly. Sudden death is shocking! It's hard to believe our loved one really died. It will take time for the impact to fully sink in. Suddenly our lives are disrupted and often we don't have any idea of what to do next. Our grief will, of course, be most intense in the first days. Then, slowly reality will become clear as we learn how to do things the deceased once did for us. We may need help learning to man age the house, take care ol the children, or perhaps seeking em ployment. Mating well and taking good physical care of ourselves is important. Avoiding excessive use of alcohol or sedatives is wise. We shouldn't be afraid to seek help from friends or profes sionals when we need someone to talk to.

(My trouble is she half way agreed with Mm.) A woman gushing over a baby came up with this, "He looks like both his mother and Ms tether". I thought that was Mee. George Rodenkirk told us abovl the American Railway Museum at the Village of Union so we piled in Ffoembers of the family and took off to see. the sights. t -- Don't think there was anything on the grounds we haven't seen before but the whole thing brought hack memories. MORE SAYINGS: If you plant thorns, don't go barefoot. The person who knows everything isn't very intelligent. Seems when a man puts mileage, the medical profc retread him. My shoes have built-in arches. A cane followed medical care that didn't do much for a clot in one leg and ar thritis in the other. The dentist put the bite on me for partial plates, but now I can bite. Of course, eye glasses are common. Cousin MeTvin and my family put the pressure on me to buy hearing aids. So it goes. Medical people are great, but they haven't come up with anything for my bald head With all this help, I can get up six days a week and get at my chores. Also get to church on Sunday. Life is worth living. Tomato Troubles B y Erin Hynes, Extension Adviser, Agriculture, McHenry County Tomatoes, wondrous food that they are, are most gardeners' favorite. Thus, their concern is understandable when tomato plants have problems. Learn to identify these common tomato troubles: Wilt - Fusarium and verticilium wilts turn the leaves yellow starting at the base. The plant will eventually wilt and die. To prevent a problem next year, choose resistant varieties, indicated by the letters VF on the seed packet. Fungus Diseases - Early blight and septoria leaf spot cause spotting and leaf drop. You can either live with the problem, since you'll still get tomatoes from affected plants, or spray maneb, zineb, or Polyram weekly to prevent the disease from spreading. Leaf Roll - Lower leaves cup up wards. Fruit is uhaffected and the problem requires no control. Catladag - Crazy environmental conditions often result in malfor mations and scarring of the blossom end. Cursing the gods is your only recourse. 2, 4-D Damage - Twisted, pointed, deformed leaves and scarred fruit are evidence of 2, 4-D injury. This her bicide can drift long distances and the damage is irreversible. Apply it only when the wind is still. Compost treated lawn clipping for six weeks before using as a mulch. The "art" of predicting the future in a crystal ball is called screeology.

Memorabilia At Freund Fest The Freund Family Fest (reunion) planned for Saturday, Sept. 4 from 1 to 7 p.m. at Johns burg Community club promises to be a memorable occasion for all participants. Many descendants of the early German settlers are bringing pic tures of their ancestors wMch will be on display in the clubhouse. It is suggested that anyone having unidentified old photos should bring them also, as someone might know who these people are. Printed copies, suitable for framing, of the original passport qf Matthias Freund of Engeln, along, with the English translation, will be available for a small donation. The passport gives a physical description of Matthias, along with other vital information. Printed copies of the original bap tismal certificate, with translation, for Matthias' wife, Catharina Nett, bom 1829 in Hirten, are also available.

PAUL M5-3253 MOBENZ MAINTENANCE settlers. She may be reached at 385- 2890. Dr. Hanns Egon Freund, guest of honor from Munich, West Germany, will also be contributing to the display of photos. His eldest son, Wolfgang, has traveled to the Eifel region of the Rhineland where the Freund families originated and has taken remarkably beautiful photos of the small villages these people came from. These photos have been greatly enlarged to enhance the scenic views. Maps of the Eifel region will be of interest to those who like to know where places are located in relation to other places. Another feature of the large display will be "Emigrator Charts" for nine different villages, some with old photos of these people who im migrated, which have been prepared by Dr. Freund. The nine villages are Niederbaar, Engeln, Freilingen, Kirchesch, Arft, Mannebach, Boos, Luxem and Nitz. Dr. Freund's 18-foot long pedigree chart for the "Freunds of Engeln" and the 9-foot long chart for the "Booser Freunds" have received additions and corrections recently, so updated versions will be on display. A third chart of the "Freunds of Nitz" was still in preparation just shortly before Dr. Freund and his wife, Astrid, left Munich for a two- week business trip in Canada, where Dr. Freund will be in contact with the governments of each province. He is the managing director of the Bavarian Association of Manufac turers and is an attorney at law. Participants of the Freund Fest are reminded to bring their own lawn chairs and portable tables. There will be some food for sale on the grounds, as well as beer and soft dririks. Picnic lunches or 3uppers may also be brought along. Those attending are requested to check in at the registration table near the tennis court, at which time they will receive name tags and souvenir programs. Participants will also be asked to fill out an index card for Dr. Freund, answering the question "Who is your earliest known Freund an cestor in America?" Pre-registration with Barbara Gerasch at 385-0258 will facilitate the rapid dispatch of this item of business. Members of the McHenry County Genealogical society will be present to take orders for the soon to be published book, "Early Records of St John the Baptist Catholic Church" Volumn I. A number of persons who are descendants of early settlers, but who don't happen to have any Freund ancestry, have expressed an interest in attending the Freund Fest. It should be understood that anyone interested in the settlement of Johnsburg is welcome to attend this once-in-a-lifetime event.
