PAGE 9 - McHENRY PLAINDEALEK - FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1974 Ringwood News Student Spends_ Semester Break In New Mexico Patty Christopher recently spent her semester break from MCC on a trip to Las Cruces, New Mexico. Her sightseeing included horseback riding on the desert (snakes were still in hibernation), a fishing trip up x in the mountains, and a near- view of White Sands Testing Grounds.

U.M.W. yJSIT VALLEY Ml HOME About twelve ladies of the Ringwood United Methodist Women and little Britta Seaborg (her mother was in the group) spent an afternoon at Valley Hi Nursing Home in Hartland visiting with the residents there. Rev. Ruth Wegner conducted a brief devotional period and hymn sing with the residents joining in. The children of the Sunday School sent valentines for each person and the ladies distributed cookies and little gifts. It was a very rewarding day for our church women. BRIDAL SHOWER Mrs. Jerry Cristy of Crystal Lake hosted a bridal shower for her niece, Terri Cristy, last Sunday afternoon. Terri received many lovely gifts from the thirty guests who were there to honor her. The refresh­ ment table was decorated with a bridal theme and everyone enjoyed the delicious food. CANASTA CLUB The Canasta Club met at the home of Bill and Shirley Cristy Saturday night with high scores going to Bob Decker and Susie Low. U.M.W. TO PRESENT CANCER PROGRAM The United Methodist Women will present a program on Cancer Wednesday, March 6, at 8 p.m. in the Ringwood United Methodist church. There will be a physician present to answer questions and the meeting is open to all women who are interested in learning more about this disease. Mark this date on your calendar and plan to join us that evening. WORLD DAY OFPRAYER The ladies of our community will be joining church women from throughout the area for the World Day of Prayer ser­ vice to be held at Mount Hope Big Hollow Students Work Against Pollution Members of the Big Hollow School Science club recently heard Grant township assessor, Pete Drabek, explain why the help of area students is necessary to save the Chain O' Lakes from pollution and ultimate destruction. Drabek was recently appointed to a study commission that will meet with several area Senators and state Representatives to study ways and measures that can be taken to save the waters from the pollution threat that now faces its very existence. Also on hand for the meetings was state Rep. Donald E. Deuster of Mundelein, who explained that one of the roles of a legislator is to listen, and that was his primary reason for attending the meeting. Deuster did emphasize, however, that the students of Big Hollow have an opportunity to "write history", since they were participating in the true democratic process of government. "Here is where legislation really begins, with meetings like this one", Deuster said. Brad Meusek, a resident of the Pistaqua Heights area, discussed some of the more scientific approaches to solving the problems of lake and river pollution. Meusek described how "aeration" and "ox­ idation" of the lakes in the area could help remove the sludge and mud from the lake bottoms. Others also spoke to the students about these problems. According to almost everyone present, the seventh and eighth grade students who make up the school's Science club seemed genuinely interested in the problems, and asked several very searching questions. The Big Hollow Science in­ structor, Dick Meyers, also reminded the students that last year students frequently wondered how they could affect the pollution situation. "You really don't have to wonder any longer", Meyers said. "Here is your opportunity to share with your parents and other in­ terested citizens in actually working for a solution, he added. Meyers added that what young pebple do today will very much affect generations to come later on. Science Club president, Scott Freund, indicated after the meeting that he will appoint an Ecology and Environmental Problems committee at the club's next meeting. The eighth grade Science club president said he would like to see this committee work with adult groups in the community on this pollution problem. ."As students, we do want to help, and I think we can contribute United Methodist Church on Friday, March 1. There will be a coffee hour at 9:30 with the service starting at 10 o'clock. Because of inadequate space at Mount Hope church, there will be babysitting service for pre­ schoolers at the Chain-of-Lakes Covenant church on Wilmot Road, a short distance from Mount Hope. RUMMAGE SALE It's that time of year again when we start going through our cupboards and closets sorting out things that we can no longer use but would be serviceable to someone else. The ladies of the Ringwood church will be holding their semi-Annual rummage sale on Friday, March 29, froiji 9 a m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, March 30, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Items may be brought to the church starting Monday, March 25, but no later than Wednesday, March 27. If you have any questions, call 728- 0196,or 728-0295. HAPPY BIRTHDAY % Counting all the candles oh the birthday cakes this week are Allen Etten, Phyllis Zell and Pat Silzer on the twenty- fourth and on the twenty-sixth Larry Bruce and Don Klap- perich. Forward and onward into the month of March we see that Duane Andreas is getting a weee bit older on the second of March. Seems that no one saw fit to get married during this cold part of the month so till the next printing we wish you and yours a very enjoyable week. something toward solving this problem" Freund added. The Eighth Grade Science club president also indicated that hie and his officers, Donna Dahlman and Chris Uphoff, will send letters to students in neighboring schools seeking their help too. Grant Township assessor, Pete Drabek, pledged to keep the Big Hollow students in­ formed of what the Regional Planning commission is doing with regard to the problem. Rep. Deuster also agreed that any letters students wrote to their legislators would be well received in Springfield and could serve to spark the in­ terest of other legislators on the problem. President Freund said that once he has selected his committee, and they outlined the direction they intend to move in, he will make this information available to the press and the community.
