y. \ . PAGE 2 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY.^JANUABY 10, 1979 r • • MR. AND MRS. CHyCK CHALUPA RESIDE IN MINNESOTA-Mr. and Mrs. Chuck Chalupa are Uvlng In While Bear Lake, Minn., following their Nov. 11 wedding at St. Mary'* Catholic church in McHenry. The bride, the former Mary Lou Johnston, Is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Johnston, Johnsburg, and attended Marian Central. The bridegroom, who resided in Kimberly, Wise., is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Chalupa of Applet on, Wise. Both are graduates of Whitewater. The bride is employed as a special education teacher, and the groom works as a safety specialist. Grandma Sez . . . Seems incredible t' this oF lady, that in this advanced age o' supposedly greater lightenment, there's ' more bes havin' babies 'n this country e'er knew, accordin't' th\population. Intentions, t' teach th' young th' facts o' life have surely backfired, an' appear t' be an instrument t' excite natural urges in young folks, too immature t' realize th' full. extent o' th' con sequences in satisfy in' 'em. Childern Ye a learnin', too fast, th' ways o' th' elder generation, wi'out th' ad vantage o' maturity in judgment. Seems a shame that society fails t' protect th' very young from experiences that affect their entire lives, an' burden those who love 'em, wi' sorrow an' problems. Wi' so much detailed fiction, depicted plainly on th' tube, f'r younguns t' gain edication in romantic contact wi' th' op posite sex, it's no wonder that they learn things that past generations weren't aware o' until they were grown up young adults. This, all ties in wi' th' in creased crime among th' younger group, too. in 'em a tryin' t' act like older folks. Society puts a load on th' young minds, too heavy f'r 'm t' handle. Right an' wrong 're issues that cease t' be em phasized in th' proper way, these days. Babes learn fast, an' it b'hooves parents t' take th' time an' effort t' train little minds from th' start, t' knowth' difference. Seems t' this granny, that some folks expect th' little ones t' develop all kinds o' wisdom, by. just growin' up. Great mistakes ha' been made, wi' a lettln' down th' bars, so t' speak, an' allowin' freedoms which hurt, rather 'n help in th' growin' up process. Realization that th' future o' th' world depends on th' way we train our childern, an' their happiness as well as ours enhanced wi' a well-brought-up younger generation, should be th' incentive t' take serious thought on th' subject. Some folks 're revertin' t' theories an' methods o' times gone by, f'r th' simple reason they proved t' produce better attitudes in th' young. Maybe things 'II get better. Grandma Radtke Vegetable Preparation The outer, green leaves of let tuce are coarser than the inner, tender leaves. But, the former also have more calcium, iron and vitamin A. Use the outer leaves when possible, especially with tossed salads. The core of a cab bage, on the other hand, as well as the leaves, is high in vitamin C.

CHAPEL HILL R0. McHENRY 385-8899 Emergency Meals Prove Valuable During Storm A snowstorm ushered in the New Year and emphasized reason for senior citizens to have an emergency meal box on hand. Fortunately, most who were isolated by mounds of snow had provisions on hand in preparation for or left over from the long holiday weekend. However, those who fat out or depend on others to provide meals, found most restaurants closed and transportation limited by impassable roads and cars that refused to start. In addition, a good many were reluctant to get out in the deep cold that accompanied the snow. Four hundred and fifty "Sunshine Supplies" have, already been distributed and a limited supply is available for seniors who want to prepare for the next storm. These meal boxes provide three meals a day for three days and are available at the Senior Citizens Council on Newell street in Woodstock, and at the six Meet and Eat Walk-In sites in McHenry county. Meet and Eat sites are open five days a week and the McHenry location is the Moose Lodge, route 120.

Block Party Is Good "Mortar" Continuing what must now be considered a local custom, the fourth annual Holiday Block Party was hosted at the home of Grace O'Brien at 4201 Crestwood on Sunday, Jan. 7. Assisting her was Father Charles O'Brien and Eileen and Bill Pictor. This effort to promote peace and good will has become accepted enough to claim success. The chance to mingle and to converse in the warmth of a comfortable home takes neighborliness one giant step beyond the usual wave from a car window. Ever since party no 1, when Gary Gray promised to host the same group to a pig roast in the good ol' summertime, he has been ribbed about the lack of action. Sunday he retaliated by unwrapping a real hog's head with apple in mouth and with bright cherry eyes! Some guests felt that this time was just a little less than promised, but he was given points for progress. Off to a more friendly start for '79 are Sue and Todd Althoff, Alvin and Lena Dowell, Jean and Gerry Gudauskas, Norma and George Jones, Judy and John Huff, Eileen and Bill Pictor, Betty Clark, Esther and Harold Walter, Grace O'Brien, Father Charles O'Brien, Joy Landre, Jean Flannagan, Linda and Elvin Partenheimer, Kay and Marvin Bauer, Pat and Urban Wagner, Judy and Gary Gray, Rosemary and Don Weingart,' Joe Blenner and Tom Blenner.

Now that the Christmas season is over, and life has settled down somewhat to a regular pace, want to tell you that it was my' happiness and pleasure to assist in the work of preparing our Christmas Sharing baskets this year. How I wish that all of you in some manner could have been able to look in that Sunday at St. Patrick's basement during this time. The workers were ready, boxes were lined up waiting to be filled on one side, and toys and gifts for the children were on the other. Coffee and doughnuts were available at the kitchen. There were ladies of all ages, men, and young people, all doing whatever had to be done. You would have felt as proud as we did for the excellent cooperation of all the folks of our community in making our efforts so successful. Father Petit of St. Patrick's offered^he space needed for packing. City Hall was the drop off point for toys and gifts from individuals and organizations. The Senior Citizens donated generously. And many prayed for the success of this project. Canned goods, fruits, vegetables, meats, jellies, washing products, paper goods, cookies, candies, fresh fruits, and many other necessary items, gave the appearance of a supermarket. , TTie atmosphere was hectic at times, but everyone pulled together until all boxes were in the cars of those who were to make the deliveries. The letter that appeared at the top of the front page of the Plaindealer, Wednesday, Jan. 3, was "Written with happiness, and hopefully puts into words the feelings of all the folks reached with our Christmas Sharing..seventy-nine families with a total of 191 children.
