PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24,1*2 "EARL WALSH h So I Hear At our house, we like to have good friends come a • callin'. Fred Bienapfl knows about our interest in historical items about the McHenry area so he brought some papers of interest which will be offered to the McHenry Library. The papers lead up to the ownership of the property now owned by the McHenry Library. Fred's wife, Agnes, was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Tesch and grew up in the quaint little brick building later enlarged for library use. Naturalization papers and warranty deeds date back to the year 1874. An Abstract Of Title makes interesting reading. It covers 160 acres in West McHenry, including the Tesch property. Those 160 acres were purchased at a cost of $1.25 per acre. Way back. In one part of the Abstract, property was described as "a stake well planted, from which a black oak tree 8" in diameter emerged." And, there was "a post well driven at the corner of a picket fence." You couldn't miss. Clayton Bruce, shopping with his wife, asked if I couldn't find a bench. He reminded me of ben­ ches in front of old time stores and said they still have those resting places in Florida Don Lowrey was another friend to come a-callin'. He has been reading about us feeding the birds so brought an unusual gift. It was a box full of trimmings from pizza crust. Don has a good thought. We wasted no time in setting some of the special treat out in the back forty. The first to find it was a squirrel which is always hungry. Then came the birds. A card from John and Letty Busscher makes reference to our weather while they enjoy golf in the sunny south. . Pearl Cooper added to her host of friends during a trip to LasVegas. She won a bundle of cash, then generously kept playing and gave it all back. They like her kind. v It is the kiss of death to become a manager or coach of big time athletic teams in Chicago. The Cubs, Bears, Blackhawks and Bulls fired their top .men when the teams couldn't win for losin'. Never can figure out how I worked crossword puzzles before this special dic­ tionary came into my life. Some of these wOrds I never heard and won't remember. Must be I made those puzzles come out right with words I knew. A fellow asked, "What became of those comic penny valentines?" What has become penny stick of gum? Had to say those valen­ tines ceased to be funny. Some were nasty. Some hit the nail on the head when sent to people with inflated opinions of themselves. Must admit I got a chuckle out of some of those funny ones, but Valentine's Day is meant to make people happy. LakemoorLilymoor Area MQrgaret Karas of a Turning off lights saves en­ ergy.

GOOD DEED AFTERMATH Rodney Hibbs of Fritzsche estates, had spent many hours, repainting and working on the truck which was his first set of wheels. Friday, Feb. 12, he pur­ chased the necessary in­ surance and that evening he, his cousins Ramona and Frank Neeley, and their friend Diane Pickett went to the basketball game at the high school. They decided to leave early as the band was through playing. Driving down River road, they noticed a car in the snow on the road side. They stopped and helped get the car un­ stuck and were given some money by the appreciative lady. The foursome decided to return to McHenry for a pizza as they did not have to be home until 10 o'clock. Driving back on River road, Rodney found himself with the choice of being hit head on by an auto in his lane, or going off the road. He chose the latter. Result- his beautiful, hard-to-come- by truck connected Wfth a pole. Frankie saw what was coming and crouched down. MCC CATALOG OUTLET STORE MCC CATALOG OUTLET STORE MERCHANDISE CLEARANCE CENTER Mon.

Afraid of an explosion, Rodney had to break the side window to get out of the damaged driver's door. Frank and Ramona were able to get out, but Diana needed more help before she was able to leave the cab. The four young people ran away from the truck asd tried to hail passing motorists. Rodney was bleeding badly from a head wound. Finally a man < stopped who then went on to call the police and emergency vehicles. Ramona, Diana and Rodney were taken to McHenry hospital by am­ bulance. Ramona asked that her mother not be called, as Mrs. Neeley had that day been released from the hospital recovering from a nervous condition. However, her father, who is in the towing business, had already been called to the scene of the accident to tow away the truck, but had not been in­ formed as to whose truck it was. Ramona's mother Dor­ othy, handled the call well, but at this time did not know where Frank was, as the hospital admitted only three young people. The ending? Rodney required 22 stitches, the result of meeting and breaking the front window. Diana has two breaks in her wrist, enclosed in a cast. Ramona has a sprained elbow and a black eye, perhaps given by Diana as a reflex action when the truck hit the pole. Frank is fine, having followed a rule of safety when an accident is imminent. Why was a good deed followed by all this pain? Will these young people again help out a stranded person in need? Would you? I think they will. PARTY TIME Surprise! That was the shout that greeted Linda Schmidt on her arrival at Doug Alheit's home Valentine's day. Shortly after, Doug himself was the recipient of the same "Surprise!" as he arrived at his home. Planners of the double surprise were Peggy and Bill Hendricksen. Carl Stromley lured Doug away for the necessary preparation time by taking him to the hospital to visit friend Carl Newman. The shouters, bringers of refreshments and givers of gifts were Marion and Hal Vornkahl, Linda's husband Mike, Bob and Connie Szamlewski, Mike, Laurie and Patti Hertel, Barb and Tony Sherrell, Carol Wyatt of Cleveland, Bob and Delores Miller, Dave Glenda and Bette Koch, Lenny Gregorich, John Diederich, Pearl Abernathy, Jim Kennedy, and of course Carl and Jackie Stromley. The birthday "Children" received many appropriate Valentine-birthday gifts. Dougie did not disclose what they were, but had quite a grin on his face thinking of them. The party broke up early in the morning with continued wishes for hap­ piness for Linda and Doug. ANNIVERSARIES Mr. and Mrs. Roy Neeley celebrated their anniversary Feb. 23. Their children, Chuck, Frank and Ramona, had three long stemmed roses sent to their mother at her place of employment on Tuesday, in recognition of their love for their parents. The date that Carl Stromley took Marlene (Jackie) as his wife is March 2. Having raised their children and now watching the grand kids grow, Jackie and Carl know the true meaning of family. May joy, good health and contentment be gifts they will have for many more years. WELCOME, LITTLE ONES Tamara Jo is the name given to baby girl Odarc- zenko, who was born in Good Shepherd hospital on Val­ entine's day. Parents P.J. and Michael were happy to welcome 7 lb. 1 oz., 21 in. long Tamara Jo, as was her four-year-old sister, Terry. This special Valentine also added to the happiness of Myra and Stanely Zabroski, the maternal grandparents, and John and Joan Odarc- zenko, the paternal grand­ parents. Nicole Marie Nichols made her arrival in the world Feb. 16. Parents are the former Peggy Coffer and her husband Neil. On leaving the hospital, Peggy had to stop at her place of employment where her fellow workers oohed and aahed over Nicole and her two inches of hair. May these new lives be a joy to their families and a bussing to us all. NA"TAL DAYS Pat Morrison, Connie Meyer and Ed Gray have Feb. 24 as their birth date.

(312)391-8145 r & Don't Believe It Astounding fuel economy claims for new devices to install on your car are usually more fiction than fact. Thirty-five gadgets were tested in the United States last year but only one gave significant improvement in gasoline mileage. That was only 2 percent, and emissions went to pot. Gimmicks such as a special magnet that attaches to the car­ buretor and claims to provide twice the mileage per gallon should be viewed with skepti­ cism. Mary Raupp Graduates Airman Mary C.
