f r/ttac.4.fUlMUKALKH« MUUAI, AliUUBI U, 1MW Remembering When (with long time subscribers) •V • ' MRS. GEORGE (LAURA) KNAACK Originally from Dundee, Mrs. George Knaack has lived in and around the McHenry area for the last 60 years. For a time, she lived in the town of Barreville, which is about half-way between McHenry and Crystal Lake. "Barreville was Just a little-bitty town," she said. "It had a good baseball team, though." There was a creamery in the town where farmers would take their cream to be made into butter. She recalled living on the farm during the Great Depression. "I remember making dandelion-green soup," she said. "You wouldn't believe it was good until you were forced to eat it." Bread was homemade as there was hardly any baker's bread in the stores. Mrs. Knaack also recalled the day the miUpond flooded after a cloudburst. "There were fishf all over peoples' lawns and the kids were running around trying to catch them," she laughed. The McHenry Plaindealer has been in her family for at least 40 years, she said. "We couldn't afford it during the Depression. When her granddaughter went to college, Mrs. Knaack mailed the paper to her. "All her friends would gather 'round to see the hometown paper," she said. Mrs. Knaack noted that the same thing happens at the Lutheran home in Arlington Heights, where she lives now. "Everyone felt bad when it didn't show up the other week," she said. Rainstorm Fails To Cancel Picnic Twenty members of Lotus Country Women's club enjoyed their annual picnic on Wednesday, Aug. 13. Due to another rain storm, the picnic was held indoors, very comfortably, with bright surroundings, air con­ ditioning, no flies and no ants, in the Town Hall. A potluck buffet was served. Everyone brought their favorite dish and the meal was delicious. A short meeting followed, with newly elected president, Rosemary White, presiding. A discussion was held on having a phone installed in the Town Hall. Corresponding Secretary, Marilyn Heckmann, read a thank you note from Linda Brennan of Solon, a graduate of Richmond-Burton high school. Linda had received a scholarship from the club. A thank you card to the club for their many get well wishes was read from Josephine LaVertu. Mem­ bers were all happy to see her present at the meeting. The club will go to a lun­ cheon and theatre at Shady Lane, Marengo on Oct. 15. Final plans for the Christ­ mas Bazaar will be made at the Sept. 17 meeting. The bazaar is scheduled for Nov. 14 and 15 at the Town Hall. A Citation of Achievement was presented the club by the General Federation of Women's clubs and the Sears Roebuck Foundation for their Community Im­ provement program. Year books were distributed and events for the coming year were discussed, as well as various projects, and contributions. The club will assist in District 4 projects, such as distributing packets to schools, police department, etc. on child abuse, shoplifting, diabetes, and many more.

There's An Answer (by Norman Vincent Peale and Ruth Stafford Peale) Uncomfortable Q. My son is living with a divorcee, and his children visit them often. My son's former wife has a steady male friend who is very nice to the children. I love my son and grandchildren very dearly, also his former wife who is very close to us and still calls us Mom and Dad I am very uncomfortable about the whole situation, even though no one else seems to be. It would make my son happy for me to meet this woman he lives with. I feel stupid and sometimes angry and under pressure, sort of just pushing everything under the rug. How long can this go on? How can I cope with all this? A. This situation exists all too freauentlv in our "modern" society. You are not the first to be in the bind of wanting to keep family together while holding onto established values at the same time. Your best strategy is to keep the lines of communication open. Be receptive to all involved, not judgmental. Keep things relaxed. Don't let yourself be pressured. But most important, seek peace through prayer and you'll be better able to cope. We are sending you our booklet, Try Prayer Power, which is free to any reader of this column. Write to us at Box 500, Pawling, N.Y., 12564. Mother won't listen Q. I am lB'and have terrible communication with my mother. She talks but never listens. She thinks she is right about everything and gets upset when people disagree with her. She says they are no good. Including me! My sister got tired of this and ran off. This hurt my mother deeply, but she still treats me the same way. I want the right to grow and be able to make my own decisions. I don't want to hurt my mother because she is my mother and I love her but what can I do? A. Get some advice from your minister, your doctor or school advisor. Try your minister first. Go to him and simply and completely explain your problem. Tell him how you've tried to get through to your mother, but without success. Perhaps he knows her, too, and can help you by giving you insight into your mother's behavior. Some changes in your attitude might improve a situation such as yours. But, with your sister's previous experience, we suspect you'd better seek out local counseling for the mo6t satisfactory solution Secretly unmarried Q. This guy and I have been living together for the last 16 years. We have 4 beautiful beys. The trouble is we told everyone we got married before my "husband" went overseas. But here we are, not married. Yet our parents, relatives and kids think we are. We'd like to get married. But how could we? Without the kids knowing it and everyone else. We don't want to hurt anyone. We need advice quick. A. Your desire to get married is right and good. And you can do it without causing heartache for your family .Go to a large city and get your marriage license where such licenses are not listed in the newspaper. Be marreid there by a local pastor and tell no one. Do this and you will feel so much better and happier. If there is something you would like to ask Dr. and Mrs. Peale, write to them at Box 500, Pawling, N.Y., 12564.

TH THE GAS PUMP Automatic transmis­ sions that "slip" will use extra gasoline because the engine power sent to the rear wheels is lost due to transmission slippage.
