PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. APRIL 15,1983 EARL WALSH So I Hear Monday morning came and I kicked off the covers at 7 o'clock and headed for the kitchen to put the tea kettle on the fire. The phone rang and grandma knew right away it was grandchildren, Brendan and Aleen, at the other end of the line. They were getting ready to go back to school after their Easter vacation. Maybe they needed consolation from grandma. It is OQly Monday, but am trying to think oN§pmething for another column. We ate a healthy breakfast (dressed in our robes), read the morning paper, turned on the radio and talked. I get sociable after the second cup of coffee. Some people say they never eat breakfast. I would go into a faint before noon. Alvina typed Plaindealer copy for me and seemed real pleased when she found I had misspelled a couple of words. Getting cleaned up and shaving is a tiresome task that faces me just when I would like to sit in my easy chair, read the sports page and light up a cigar. Women have no idea what we men go through. Off to the Plaindealer with my copy for Jo Ann to knock off on the keys. "Irish" was blowing bubbles as "Mama Mia" said she was doing it without gum. Laura had an assignment for me as all the lovely girls helped start the week off for me in a jolly mood. The men in the advertising section were friendly, but I like girls. ' "Brenda" was busy as a bee, but gave me a fair allotment of her time. Sports Editor Mike was clicking away, probably trying to get his mind off a weekend of courtin' up in Wisconsin. Betty was showing off some beautiful flowers her groom presented to her. Seems she always has flowers on her desk.

Will have to get another name for Betty. I didn't have to stand at the door waiting as Betty came through with the usual "Come again, Earl". She added "Any time". I'm gaining. She never said that before. My Irish friend, Marie, wasn't in her corner. I always look. Going past the big office window, I looked for and got smiles and friendly greetings from more of the girls I claim. > Got in the buggy and headed for Bolger's Drug Store. Still wondering what to write for a column. Dorothy took my checks and stubs for utility bills. Didn't get anything back, but a smile, A smile goes a long, long way. Looked in the McHenry Drapery store window and saw some items that have been discussed in our house. Drove down to Riverside Drive, thinking there might be something along the way to inspire a fellow needing something fen* a column. No luck. Headed for home, opened the back door and found- our good neighbor, Virginia Kreutzer, having a cup of coffee with Alvina. That's good neigh­ bors in action. Guess it is best for me not to mention my housework. After lunch, I got to settin' again. Believe it or not, I turned on the Cub game. It was disaster. Yes. I have suffered through some Cub games this season and have some advice for them. If they would only listen -- You can't hit, so every bloomin' one of you get up there and bunt. Picked up a crossword puzzle, but sleepiness was overcoming me. I didn't fight it. With a couple of jobs awaiting me, it seemed opportune to suggest we drive down to see those items I saw in the Drapery window earlier in the day. It worked real good. A real friendly salesgirl was in charge and showed us just what we (you know who) always wanted. Took a ride. All the way to John- sburg, Pistakee Bay and back to our home port. With instructions for me to stay awake in case the phone should ring, the Chief of Staff went outside to burn some papers. Some people gfet the idea from my rambling that we eat all our meals away from home. Not so. How could we have so many left over dishes if there weren't main meals? Frankly, I like leftovers. Sometimes food is better flavored the second time around. It is still Monday. Dishes are washed (most of them in the dish­ washer). That dishwasher has been a big help to me. It is time for the Oscar Awards. I'd rather a ball game. Those breathless speeches thanking everybody from A to Z are all the same. Tomorrow is another day, but I would still like to think of something for a column before hitting the hay. Now, here is a start. Pauline Adams came a-callin' this afternoon, bringing some old time pictures, a lot of fun conversation and the following. Her late husband, Vince, had this ready for me but never made it before he was called up there. IN THE SHADE OF THE OLD APPLE TREE (Irish parody) In the shade of the old apple tree sat two Irishmen as wet as could be, said Pat to his friend, "There's a fly on the end of my nose, won't you smash it for Me?" Now Pat's friend was a regular guy and a shillelagh he found lying close by oh he smashed the fly flat and they buried poor Pat in the Shade of the Old Apple Tree. When I was a small boy, it seemed my mother was always calling me from play (such as a work-up ball game) to "run down to the store and get me a spool of No. 60 white thread". IL cast 10 cents. I wondered what she did with all that thread. Mom wasn't one to question when she gave an order. This week a spool of white came into our house at a cost of $1.09, plus tax. Through the grapevine, I learn that Mrs. Wilfred Blake has eight pair of cardinals flying around her yard. --And to think we have to almost hand feed a pair of those beautiful birds to get them to visit us. That's enough. Sorry I couldn't think of anything to write about. Plan Museum Opening Ella Martin, left, Betty Justen and Libbie Aavang plan for the opening of the McHenry County Historical museum in Union in May. Plans are under way at the McHenry County Historical museum in Union for the opening of a new season this May. Among the many exhibits to greet the visitor will be the McHenry County Farm Bureau Women's committee exhibit on Rural Farm Life at the Turn-of-the- Century". Members Libbie Aavang of Greenwood, Elle Martin of Marengo, and Betty Justen of Ringwood center this year's display around the har­ vesting of hay and the artifacts used in connection with such dairy products as cream, butter, and milk. It is through the assistance of such groups as the Farm Bureau Women's committee that various display projects are undertaken at the county museum. These exhibits interpret this county's early way of life and show the technological changes that have occurred over the years. To help celebrate the society's twentieth anniversary, special effort is being made by the society this year to encourage McHenry county residents to become more aware of local history by visiting the museum, using the museum's research library, and becoming members. While the museum will open the first Sunday in May, the office remains open daily. Persons wishing programs or wishing to arrange special tours should contact the museum at 815-923-2267. Public Joins In Reycling PERFORMANCE Isaiah 53 will perform at the First United Methodist church of Crystal Lake Thursday, April 21 at 7:30 p.m. Courtesy Of DR. JACK CHVLENCARIAN M*dicin* A Surgery Of The Foot ft Ankl* Calluses or* caused primarily from improper weight distribution through the feet during walking and may cause extreme pain ond subsequent lim­ ping by the patient. Conservative measures consist of "trimming" the callus in conduction with padding, which affords temporary relief. Orthotics can be fabricated in an attempt to stabilize and align the bone structures on the foot. This may relieve the symptoms and reduce the painful callus formation. Surgery may be considered to relieve the condition, in an effort to lift the affected metatarsal bringing it into alignment and reducing the pressure area. Painful corns on the toes are commonly caused by bony spurs, or hammered or crooked toes, which will not lie flat in a shoe. Surgical treatment is con­ sidered when the toe br-omoj locked into a ham­ mered position. Relief can b* ittained by surgically removing the section of bone, unlocking the joint and flattening the toe to a more normal position. One may wonder just what recycling is. In fact, according to a McHenry County Defender spokesman, people are probably doing it right now, without even realizing it. Passing clothing on from one child to the next, refinishing an old piece of furniture rather than buying a new one, raising paper, cloth, plastic and mental containers whenever possible instead of throwing them away are all ways to recycle. The homemaker presently is the most important family member when it comes to "resource reclamation", the latest term for recycling. Once parents set the example and organize the effort to make it a household routine, children become eager helpers, and a future generation of recyclers is trained: Bft t it »v! i K iii./, The McHenry Plaindealer (USPSSSS2-MM) iters 3012 WMt Elm Street McHanry, Illinois I fliOM I1S-30S-0I70 Published Every Wednesday t Frtdey et McHenry, Illinois Second Cless Pnli|i WID et McHenry.
