i 0 PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6,1984 Crime of the week Restaurant critic's job sounds quite enjoyable TKie uronlr Pnmn Cf 10 TAI* T f̂ OL IACP AVA/VA/IO ^ ^ " This week Crime Stoppers is seeking information on two burglaries to cars that were parked on North Shore Drive in Crystal Lake. Sometime during the early morning hours of Thursday, May 10, a thief broke into the two vehicles - one of which was parked in the 900 block, the other in the 1000 block, of North Shore rime 459-4800 Drive. The suspect forced entry to both cars. Numerous items were removed from the in­ teriors, including the following: A graphic equalizer, a Fuzz- bustet radar detector, four mens wallets, and a red leather organizer. Total loss exceeds $500. Crime Stoppers pays cash rewards of up to $1,000 for in­ formation leading to the arrest and filing of criminal charges against offenders. Anyone who has information on the two burglaries to cars on North Shore Drive in Crystal Lake, should call Crime Stoppers at (815) 459-4800. All callers remain anonymous. One never needs to give a name. Crime stoppers, which is sponsored by the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce, assigns secret numbers to anonymous callers who provide in­ formation. Callers are in­ structed to call back at regular intervals to find out if any suspects have been arrested as a result of confidential in­ formation given. Anonymous callers to Crime Stoppers do not have to appear in court. It has always been my con­ tention that I get the best meals at home. However, it w^ould be great fun to have a job) as a critic of restaurants. That would mean giving fair credit for the good points and listing things that could be improved. It has been our experience that managers, hostesses and waitresses are real people. We count them among our best friends. Since chefs are busy in the kitchen, we seldom meet them. If I were doing the rating, they would probably rate as good, better and best. Have always said I would prefer a good hamburger to a not-so-good steak. And there are juicy ham- burgersand dry ones. Some have flavor. Some need a lot of ketchup. Generally speaking, I like chicken at home, but have been agreeably surprised a couple of times when I broke down and ordered the item. Coffee is another big item. Give me hot coffee and cold milk. HEARIWORM & FLEA SEASON IS HERE!

I went into one place along the trail a few years ago and found the coffee having all the appearance of muddy-water. The taste was worse. I never went back. The place isn't along my usual routes anyhow. I worked in Chicago for a short time in my younger years and ate a sandwich each noon in a real good shop. My fellow co-workers thought I was an inexperienced country bumpkin to pay the price for a sandwich. One noon they talked me into joining them at a place where you got a lot of food for your money. Wow! I can still smell that boiled meat. Ugh. A big gob of mashed potatoes and squash filled your plate. That wasn't for me. I'll still take a smaller portion, but make it good. Yep. It would be fun to rate restaurants, but tough on the waist line. But, who would care about my ratings? Hie sun-moon eclipse is over and the experts tell us we won't see it again for 33 years. I can hardly wait! When a fellow told a girl she was "looking good," I added "She's also good looking." Guess who got a kiss? Jim Curran phoned one evening to tell me the Cubs hadn't won a game since they let their best player go. Of course, he was referring to Bill Buckner. "A dumb trade," thinks Jim. Jim and I decided somebody didn't like Buckner, but we could learn to like a .300 hitter. Verona Kent and our son Jack found out they have the same birthday. A few years apart, but the date is the same. Must tell Jack if he can stay as sharp as Verona through the years he will do real well. Hear relatives and friends put on a whing-ding surprise party for Verona. Ray Smith stepped out last week with a beautiful Shamrock green shirt. If I can find one like that, you will see me step out in it on St. Patrick's Day. Another year rolled around and our 76er group met again for GIGANTIC SALE ĵfT< ?

We were all pleased to have Jim Fay (California) and Ed Smith (Florida) join the group. All are formerly of McHenry High and most were star athletes. Most of the conversation was "Do you remember?" Guess we could be together from then 'til now recalling earlier days. Iffe a highlight of the year. News reporters come on the air like a breath of spring, tell us all the bad news, then sign off thanking us for listening. Isn't there any good news? Let's start a contest to find words to replace the worn out "Have a good day." It may be a losing task. Nobody ever found words to replace "Merry Christmas." OLD SAYINGS: Never put a clean shirt over a dirty body. If you can't say something good about a person, count 10 before you speak. Pity the speaker who has no pockets in his suit.
