The December meeting of Company 1 Firemen's Auxiliary was hosted by the newly dec ted officers. Those presiding over the coining year are: President, Tracy Stolle; Vice President, Donna Humphrey; Secretary, Nanette Kuretaki; and Treasurer, Linda Rosinski. They served a champagne punch and cake. The retiring officers are Vice President, Pat Diedrich; Secretary, Wally O'Brien; and, Treasurer, Donna Humphrey. The new officers have already been making plans for the I960 auxiliary year. A Mother's day bake sale, a candle-light bowl in October and a party in November are a few of the events they will be having. The ladies enjoyed a cookie exchange instead of a business meeting to get them in a holiday mood. Twelve dozen cookies were exchanged. There will be no meeting in January, but the members will meet again in February. Anyone interested in more information about the auxiliary can call Nanette Kuretski at 728-0669. IN SEARCH OF SNOW Since snow hasn't come to Wonder Lake, some of the Wonder Lake snowmobilers took off in search of the white powdery substance. They traveled up to Hurley, Wis., which is close to the Michigan-Wisconsin border. They added up a total of 240 miles riding trails, and even ventured up to Lake Superior. There was. 18 inches ' of snow and temperatures mostly in the 20's which has to be delightful for a snowmobile lover. Those who enjoyed a wonderful weekend were: Steve and Tom Borta; Willie, John and Robbie Krumpen; Ed Raestar; Len and Sherman Spencer; Chuck Sowers, and Frank and Frankie Teresi. CHRISTMAS COFFEE The Greenwood school students, faculty and CTO are extending an invitation to all Senior Citizens from the Greenwood area to be their guests at a Christmas coffee, Dec. 21. The fifth grade students will present a Christmas play for their entertainment, and coffee and Christmas cookies will be served. The festivities will begin at 9:30 a.m. in the Learning center of the school. A REAL COLLECTOR Jack Moore, III of Buckingham, 111., grandson of Jack and Dorthea Moore of Wonder Woods, is an avid baseball card collector. That might sound familiar since most young boys enjoy the same hobby, but Jack has certainly taken collecting seriously. He now has a total of 100 thousand cards. He is helped in his hobby by his father Jack, Jr., who started the collection three years ago.

Besides helping ASSISTANT CHIEF MOVES For twenty years, Company II has been lucky to have Steve Laing as one of the members. He has been very active with this group of men and they are saddened by his recent move to Woodstock. A dinner was given in his honor Saturday, Dec. IS, as a formal thank you. The community will definitely miss his whole family. INCORRECT HOUSE NUMBERS When the original numbering system was put into effect, many mistakes were made. Empty lots were later sold and often given numbers assigned to someone else. The numbering was then corrected, but not all people have changed to the number they were assigned. This not only causes problems for the post office, but also for the Sheriffs department, Fire department, and Rescue squad. Valuable time can be lost looking for a wrong street address. Not all the numbers are incorrect, but it might be to everyone's better interest to check with the secretary of the subdivision, who has a record of correct addresses. SPECIAL DAYS A belated happy birthday to Amy Stolle, who turned seven Dec. 8. Kim Powers will be celebrating her ninth birthday Dec. 20. Happy birthday, Kim. A very special lady, who is known to all Greenwood . school students because she is the school secretary, Carol Thompson, will be celebrating her birthday Dec. 23.

Beware Of Eye-Threatening Toys SECTION 2 - PAGE 5 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 19,1979 occur while youngsters now to use their If gifts for children are on the holiday shopping list, the National Society to Prevent Blindness (NSPB) cautions to select them with safety in mind. Toys were responsible for 6,409 eye injuries last year, the society reports, and more than three-quarters of these accidents occurred ;n children under the age of 15. Another 1,913 youngsters in -this age group suffered eye SPORTCOATS CHRISTMAS BONUS! tPm/tn°re Mm - 30% V ]\\ + \ \y<; -A l *AfWr A ,v f Our Entire Slock of Mans Blazers and Sport Coals! NOW ONLY ' S chnstmas ^pvior '• "• "• "• "• " injuries from BB guns, darts and bows and arrows. "Ninety percent of these injuries could be avoided," stressed Virginia S. Boyce, executive director of NSPB. "Parents can help prevent eye damage-and even the loss of an eye-by selecting toys and games with care and by keeping an eye on their children while they play.!' . The best gifts are those s^W • # which can help children have fun as they learn - without endangering themselves," Mrs. Boyce asserted. Playthings with projectiles or sharp edges have a built- in threat to eyes and should be avoided. These kiqds of "toys" can and do cause accidents. Figures based on a survey of hospital emergency rooms by the \ U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission indicate that in 1978 children under 15 experienced: - over 90 percent of the 116 eye injuries related to toy guns and other toy weapons with projectiles. ~ 77 percent of the 1,335 injuries associated with gas, air or spring-operated guns. -- all of the 137 estimated eye injuries from slingshots aftid other sling-propelled toys. Toys and games with less obvious eye hazards can also cause damage. Even skateboards, toy cars and trucks were responsible for eye injuries last year and almost all were suffered by children under 15. Sometimes it's just that the child is too young to handle ihe toy safely. Often, too, play becomes rough and youngsters accidentally hurt themselves or playmates. __^'Th ree-quarter sof^eye accidents children are not super­ vised," Mrs. Boyce notes. "It's vital that parents know what their youngsters do at play. Do they take a "safe" toy and make it unsafe - for example, by pulling rubber tips off darts? When safety risks and dangers are ex­ plained, does the child un­ derstand and avoid them? Do older children keep their more complex toys and games out of reach of younger family members? Be sure to show your gifts properly." "Keep these tips in mind and your children will play in greater safety - during this holiday season and year 'round," Mrs. Boyce con­ cluded. The National Society to Prevent Blindness, established in 1908, is the oldest voluntary health agency nationally engaged in preventing blindness through community service programs, public and professional education and research.

In the course of a forty-five minute talk, I said that the churches aren't giving proper attention to the growing numbers of single people, and that the whole question of the single state as a way of life and a vocation needed airing. We are living in a hedonitHe^ culture which celebrates the single life in terms of the sexual freedom it affords but Christian thought has always praised the single life for very dif­ ferent reasons. It is a life which can be chosen because it offers a greater op­ portunity for service, for opening to the needs of others. On the purely human level the advantages are obvious; privacy, a greater number of options in life decisions, financial power, mobility, the luxury of free time to be used as one pleases, the freedom to take risks. Family men and women are not as free. It's not difficult to see why the single life is celebrated today. But it hardly occui's to our society that the single state can be embraced as a vocation, even apart from a religious commitment. It can be chosen for the very freedom it affords to be of service to the human family. The will of God leads each person in a unique way. Those who have never married, the divorced, the widowed are all single and each in his or her special set of circumstances can receive and respond to a unique call from God. To every life there is a corresponding mission. The answer to our deepest human needs is not found in the exploration of erotic possibilities which a lack of commitment might seem to offer. The single bars are a sad parody of the quest for communication, for true friendships. Sexual freedom does not break the ring of solitude and is no guarantee of even passing happiness. Without minimizing the power of sexual drive, it seems our society refuses to recognize that it can be kept in check and within bounds. Our most important human need is the need for self-respect. The single life viewed as a vocation can give this. Marriage isn't for everyone. Those who choose not to marry are not second- rate citizens. They are persons called by God to serve and live a life that gives witness to the faith that is in them. What's That You Say? "The ability to hear is a valuable gift," says Bob Aherin, University of Minnesota safety specialist. "Exposing our ears to the loud or high-pitched noises that destroy sensitive nerve tissue robs a person of this gift." Farmers are more likely to suffer hearing loss caused by noise than most other workers. Loud and high-pitched sounds from farm machinery over- stimulate the inner ear nerve. The damage can be permanenl. The McHenry Ploindeoler 3812 W. Elm Street McHenry, II. 60050 • 2 Years - $25.00 (Best Buy) • 1 Year-$13.50 [16 Months • $7.50 [ ] Payment Enclosed Name. Address. City.
