Homemaker HORNSBYS HELEN DEN1SE SMITH PLAN JULY WEDDING ~ Mr. and Mrs. Merle D. Smith of 484 E. Briarcliff road, Bolingbrook, announce the engagement of their daughter, Helen Denise, to Bruce Paul Papiech, son of Mr. and Mrs. George L. Papiech of 1109 Cumberland circle, McHenry.

Voter League Selects '75 Officers, Program At the annual meeting held at Pal's restaurant in Woodstock, the Woodstock-McHenry League of Women Voters elected officers and board members as well as choosing program items for the coming year. Highlight of the meeting was an informal address by Mrs. Alice Ihrig Republican candidate for Cook county assessor in the fall election. Mrs. Ihrig, herself a league member as well as past president of the Illinois League of women Voters, said that the League members, as well as all citizens, must involve them­ selves in politics rather than in government. She said, "Government is the end result. Politics is the action force which leads to government." Also, Mrs. Ihrig remarked that usually the League works in the background without much controversy or publicity. But when the time comes, the League must be prepared to deal with issues current in the political spectrum. She cited the Woodstock-McHenry League study of District 200 finances as a case where the work becomes a very public item. When asked what it was like to run as a Republican against the Daley machine, Mrs. Ihrig said: "You must realize that we were not so naive as to believe that we would win. Our main purpose was to bring credible, qualified candidates to the Republican party which was badly battered by Watergate. It was an in­ teresting experience." Mrs. Ihrig also commented on the role of women in the political system, especially relating to the International Year of Women and the ap­ proaching Bicentennial. Her remarks stressed the idea that it is necessary not to elect and appoint women merely because they are women, but rather because of their qualifications and leadership. The same standards should be used as when electing men, she feels. Newly elected members of the board of directors include Sandy Millius, vice-president, of Woodstock; Moira Davis, treasurer, of Woodstock; Judy Zid, Kay Hutchings, Karen Salrrian and Judy Frederick, directors, all of McHenry; and Gerri Braun, director, of Harvard.

The Rev. Joseph F. Kulak officiated at the 2:30 afternoon services. Miss Sweeney is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sweeney of, 5005 W. Home avenue, McHenry and the groom's parents are Mr. and Mrs. Paul Thomas of 2610 S. Thomas court, McHenry. The dark-haired bride wore a formal length gown of white crepe satin fashioned with a high neckline, lace yoke, long lace sleeves, front princess panel and a ruffled hemline which also bordered the chapel length train. The bride's gown was made by her mother. Mary Sweeney of McHenry, attended her sister as maid of honor. JoAnne Gladman of McHenry, was bridesmaid. The attendants wore formal length gowns of crepe in baby blue, featuring high necklines, flocked floral front panels, long flocked sleeves and ruffled hemlines. Rusty Wilder of McHenry, served as best man. Groom­ sman was Kent Thomas of McHenry, the groom's brother. Handling the ushering duties were Patrick Sweeney and Frank Sweeney, Jr., brothers of the bride and Wally Stan- chuck. Immediately following the ceremony, a reception for 150 guests was held at the McHenry Moose hall. The young couple plan to make their first home at 3401 N. Richmond road, McHenry. The bride is a 1972 graduate of the Don Roberts Beauty school and is employed as a beautician. The groom graduated from MCHS in 1972 and is a self-employed mechanic. Fund Raising Project For A FS Award Everyone is familiar with rising costs and • AFS is no exception The McHenry chapter of the American Field Service In­ ternational scholarships, never having known the feeling of excessive funds, has been unable in the past to offer American Abroad applicants any monetary award in ad­ dition to the N.Y. contribution which covers approximately 50 percent of the costs involved. Though it is felt by most members that it is "a good value for the money", others are of the opinion that a local token would add incentive for McHenry students to apply. Therefore, a special fund raising project is being held-- an auction plus bake sale to be held Saturday, June 14, at the McHenry Market Place on Route 120 starting at 12:30. Those involved think it will be fun along with being wor- • l hile and hope to see a c . d. Among many items to be offered are snow tires, lawn mower and sports items. 4400 W.

FORMAL WEAR RENTAL for ALL OCCASIONS fell % StMl (fee, fctwEiviflW 1214 N. Green St., McHenry Community Calendar A step across a quiet pool of water; not one, but four rushing waterfalls; palms and lush tropical foliage; combine all these and you are in the Jamaican style home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Koenig in Dutch Creek Woodlands, Johnsburg. The "Waterfall House" has been featured in many THE "WATERFALL HOUSE" STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Tips For The newspapers and magazines. The house is constructed under three cedar shingle domes capped by plastic bubbles. The four waterfalls built of large boulders from lava bed in New Mexico complement the natural cedar and pecky cypress interior of the house. There are two pools on the lower level which are surrounded by exotic plants and greenery. This unusual home is one of three distinctive waterfront homes in Dutch Creek Woodlands, which will be open to the public on Sunday, June 22, from noon to 5 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door. Children under sixteen will be admitted free when ac­ companied by an adult. This "House Walk Into Gracious Country Living" will benefit St. John's restoration fund. When you pack away your winter clothes, be on the watch for insects with a taste for natural fibers, warns Nancy Moore, McHenry county Ex­ tension adviser. Wool, silk, mohair, feathers, leather, and fur are all targets for insects such as clothing moths and carpet beetles that eat fabric made from animal products. These insects do not, however, eat synthetic materials. A few of these insects are usually present in most homes, warns Mrs. Moore. They live in hard-to-clean places-in heating vents and behind radiators and baseboards-and feed on lint and hair deposits. A few precautions will keep ' insects from putting the bite on your stored winter clothing, says Mrs Moore. Dry-clean or wash woolens and place them in clean, plastic storage bags or other insect- tight containers. Woolens that are not dry-cleaned or washed should be hung in bright sunlight for a full day and brushed thoroughly before storing. Pay particular at­ tention to pocket interiors, cuffs, and folds when brushing. If the storage area is not insect-tight-as is true of most closets, trunks, and boxes- vacuum the container thoroughly and cover all of the inside surfaces lightly with a spray of 0.5 percent diazinon or Dursban applied from a pressurized spray can. Cedar-lined chests are usually insect-tight, but all fabrics need to be insect-free before storing. The cedar oil vapors destroy small larvae, but do not kill the larger ones. So be sure the articles are free of insects before placing them in cedar-lined chests. Good housekeeping practices will help reduce the number of fabric-eating insects. Clean the house frequently to prevent lint and hair from accumulating- especially behind radiators, baseboards, and heating vents, and in closets and beneath large furniture. If such places become in­ fested, a light application of 0.5- percent spray of diazinon or Dursban will insure protection. Keep children and pets away from the sprayed area until it is dry, Mrs. Moore concludes. University of Illinois Cooperative Extension is open to all McHenry county residents.

It's always sad, t' see a struggle, t' git out o' th' mire, after all th' ignored warnin's t' save th' tragedy. Every time unionized wages enjoyed a nice increase, th' dollar b'came smaller, an' smaller, an' folks bought on credit, wi' th' false sense 0' th' inflated income. Economy b'came a bad word. Waste an' extravagance took o'er. Production lines filled th' market wi' cheap, flimsy goods, from socks t' limizines, an' nothin' lasted long enough t' git acquainted wi' havin' it. Good craftsmen suffered f'r th' reason they couldn't keep up wi' th' fast trend, an' some r'fused t' join th' ranks o' th' manufacturers o' th' poor quality products. It's a sad sitiation, we're a findin' ourselves in, these days. Younguns a growin' up wi'out th' higher standards, won't know how t' back-track, if they may d'sire t' do so, f'r th' reason that they don't know what port t' set their sails f'r. Christine A.

They can't r'member how it was, when a body was careful o' his b'longin's, took care o' his Sunday shoes, an' learned t' not waste food. Funny how someone c'n start & trend, an' all th' human sheep follow along. Not many ha' th' will t' buck th' crowd, an' mostly, folks like t' keep up wi' th' "Joneses," as th' ol' sayin' goes. So, seems t' this ol' granny, a veteran at makin' me own mistakes, an' a watchin' th' same, in th' rest o' humanity, me conclusion adds up t' th' inevitable answer, that man causes his own trials an' tribulations. Seems like, after all th' centuries gone afore, wi' their sad stories that make up th' colorful history o' th' world, there hain't been much lear­ ned. Mankind follows th' wil'o'th'wisp, easily persuaded by those who appear t' be knowledgeable, t' give th' impression o' power, an' not always as int'rested in a helpin' th' human needs as it appears. Most folks 're willin't' be led. Involved wi' livin', family involvements, tryin't' make it, in th' work-a-day world, folks 're easily led up th' rosy path, wi' strong-talkin' individuals, promisin' pots o' gold at th' end o' some imaginary rainbow. Th' individual enjoys better livin' conditions, more 0' th' world's luxuries, almost unaware 0' th' web o' cir­ cumstances developin' about 'em. Suddenly, folks become aware. Costs o' livin' hurt th' style o' livin', t' which they've become accustomed, an' they b'gin't' holler "Pen an' ink," loud an' clear, a blamin' everyone but 'emselves.
