Stinespring, Jr., of McHenry, is spearheading a committee planning the forty-eighth an­ niversary reunion of the June, 1930, class of Carl Schurz high school, Chicago. It will be held April 15 in the North Shore Hilton, Skokie. j, • Serving on Mrs. Stinespring's committee are Mr. and Mrs. Clarence B. Olson of Antioch. "This class of mine is "remarkable," said Mrs. Stinespring. "I never heard of one which held so many reunions. It simply is a class which refused to break up." The class held its first reunion in 1932, followed by two more in the '30s. World War II and a period in which classmates were busy getting married and raising children kept the class apart until its twenty-fifth anniversary. A period of holding reunions every five years was started at that time. In recent years they've been held every two and one-half years. Usually 200 to 250 are in attendance, coming from as far as Florida, California and the Pacific northwest. Mrs. Stinespring was vice president of the graduating class. Her late husband, Harry P., was class president. The class brought them together and they principally kept the class together by spearheading a continuing committee that planned most of the reunions. Mr. Stinespring was one of the foremost athletes in the history of the northwest Chicago school. As a junior he won all-city honors in basketball and as a senior he won all-state honors as a halfback in football in 1929 when Schurz won the Chicago public high school cham­ pionship for the second time in three years. In business life, Stinespring was head of a Loop law firm, now perpetuated by two sons, a corporation executive, and chairman of a McHenry bank. Town-Country Tips by David Plocher, Extension Service 338-3737 - 338-4747 Grandma Takin' a gander at th' state o' th' world from me ol' rockin' chair, this granny gets th' feelin' that we're a reapin' th' harvest o' our own neglect. Th' near-sightedness o' th' way we've been goin' along, a livin' like there were no end t' th' essential bounties o' this good earth, has caught up wi' us. Seems incredible that folks could lose sight o' th' frugal ways o' our forebears in such a short time. So immersed in th' suddenly affluent social standards that folks lost sight o' th' consequences, inevitable as they were. None cared t' listen t' warnin's o' elders who knew an' saw what was a happenin'. There's no way t' undo th' wrong an' from where this ol' lady views th' sitiation, no one seems t' have a solution t' th' problems o' this generation, let alone th' ones a comin' on. There's a bright theme a comin't' me attention o' late, an' that's th' netoly awakened attitude t' edicatin' th' young in th' important basics o' formal edication. It does me heart good t' feel that there's a few prominent folks who're not afraid t' buck th' poplar trend an' speak out. One o' th' mistakes o' this modern society, permissiveness in nearly every aspect o' childreariiv', is greatly th' fault o' th' failure o' edicators t' succeed in accomplishin' their task. It makes this granny feel that there is hope f'r th' future when normal discipline takes o'er once more. When parents take th' initiative in teachin' offspring th' important things which were part o' life b'fore certain people decided t' throw 'em aside, an' experiment wi' so- Interesting Packing a lunch for the kids or dad?

It's paid off in me own family, an' it's bound t' affect society f'r th' better if practiced extensively. This grandma looks for'ard t' th' day when, pen in hand, she may be filled wi' gratitude f'r a seein' a big change f'r th' better in our social structure, less emphasis on takin' an' more on givin' an' appreciation.

Small Lake Symposium - The land owners in the county with small lakes will be interested in the Small Lake symposium to be held April 29 at the College of Lake County at Grayslake. The program to be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. is designed to give help in management of small lakes. Topics will include where to get assistance, fish population, water quality evaluation, and aquatic vegetation control. Contact the Office of Continuing Education, College of Lake County, 19351 W. Washington street, Grayslake, to register. Pesticide Poisoning - Few pesticide poisonings result from the conscientious swallowing of the chemical product. The most common method of poisoning is breathing a pesticide or getting it on your skin. Beware of these early symptoms that include fatigue, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and general discomfort. You must keep in mind though that heat exhaustion, food poisoning, asthma and some other illness often cause some of these same symptoms. Poisoning symptoms often occur when you suddenly are exposed to large quantities of a toxic material. The most important thing is to get quick medical advice and this can be gotten from our poison treatment centers in spurgeons New!
