PAGE 4 - PL AINDE ALER - FF IDA Y, OCTOBER 8,1982 EARL WALSH"" So I Hear Sunday was a beautiful day as we toured down to Arlington Heights where Bill and Sandra Stilling hosted a Redding anniversary party. idra is one of Sib and Dorothy Whiting's lovely daughters and she planned the patty for her parents' 46th wedding anniversary. Yep. It was 46 years ago that I marched up to the altar as Sib's best man. --And, it was 46 years since I kissed the bride so I smacked her on the way into the home and also when leaving. Now, that was a nice sociable party. Like Mikie in the TV serial ad, we liked it. The mail brings many get-rich- quick ideas, but the one on Monday looked like the best. The letter stated I am one of the select few chosen to become an in­ stant millionaire. Think of it. All I have to do is send money! My grandma told of the old Irish woman whose husband became ill during the night. With no chance of getting him to a doctor, she said a few prayers over him, sprinkled him with holy water, and turned the case over to God. It wasn't 'til daylight that it was discovered she had picked up the bluing bottle instead of the holy water. The last letter I received from Bill and Pauline Pries told us the next McHenry Day for those McHenryites in Florida will take place Oct. 30. PLACE: Fred Howard Park, Tarpon Springs, Fla. TIME: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. McHenry Day is big down thataway. They plan two days, one in the fall and another in the spring. &Ev£ryf?iing JVico WOMEN'S » OUR ENTIRE STOCK OF WOMEN'S APPAREL MUST 60! 3107 LAKE STREET.

I am getting fun out of reading them, but will take more time to wade through the whole pack. I get a wallop out of Aunt Jennie's very interesting and clever column. She hasn't been feeling well lately. Can't understand why. She is only 87 years old. Aunt Jennie gives me hope, but am sure I'll be turned out to pasture before that age. Newspapers from up north report items similar to those we have in these parts, but have many stories that would be of interest to out- doorsmen. Note the Town Board keeps busy with such problems as liquor licenses, taxes and complaints of odors wafting in from a farm. The Health Officer found nothing unusual about the odors. He probably grew up on a farm. Those papers cover a lot of news and have gifted columnists. Wish I had thought of some of those little gems. A bulletin just came in from Canada with reports on McHenry fishermen. Eddie Stoffel caught a huge nor­ thern that took the help of his three companions, Charlie Corso, Larry Nimsgern and Dick Barrows to get it into the boat. They took the big catch to shore, cleaned it, and had a feast. The other part of the bulletin tells how happy "Fox Hole" Evo was in landing a fish that Eddie would have used for bait -- so happy he took it home and had it mounted. All I know is what I hear. I knew it. I knew it! Writing about homes and business places, I was bound to leave out some. However, I did state the story started when we moved to our present home 34 years ago, We weren't going back in the dark ages. We also stated we were getting into some time before that 34 years when my recollections took me down Green St. Barbara Hoeh reminds me her father, Jos. Dittrich had the only tailor shop in town from 1920 to 1926. The family lived at the corner of Broad and Green, but not when we moved to our new home. Arnold and Leone Rauen also lived on the corner, but at a different time. No, Barbara, I didn't forget Maude / Curr. As stated, I couldn't mention every spot. It would take a month of Sundays. I took two and one half music lessons from Maude Curr. She had a long, heavy knitting needle and cracked me over the knuckles once too often. I walked out. If I get back on that track again, it will be only specific locations. There are some choice locations to mention when the spirit moves me. Soil Amendments Can Lead To Better Garden Results by Erin Hynes, Extension Adviser The ideal soil provides plant roots with adequate amounts of water and air. Unfortunately, many soils are less than ideal and need human in­ tervention to become favorable for plant growth. Soils vary in the amounts of sand, silt, and clay they contain. A good, loose soil is 20 percent clay, 40 percent silt, and 40 parent sand. When the clay content is too high, the soil holds more water and less air than plants need. The opposite is true when the sand content is excessive. You can improve both sandy and clayey soils by adding soil amend­ ments. Manure, straw, compost, grass clippings, shredded leaves, and other organic matter are suitable materials. Perfite will also help. After removing your fall crops, spread several inches of the soil amendment over the garden. Using a spade or rototiller, turn the top six indies of soil. You may want to adcl fertilizer at this time also. Once the soil is turned, cover the JOHN F.

BETTER MILEAGE At current prices, high gas con­ sumption is a drag-and drag is a cause of high gas consumption. Check your automatic brake ad­ justers; improper operation can create brake drag and increase fuel consumption. When you have your car engine turned, check to be sure that tires are properly balanced and wheels aligned properly. If not, they can create drag, forcing the engine to use more power- more gas-shortening tire life. A bent frame does the same. Don't put luggage or other objects on top of the car unnecessarily. Wind drag is a gas stealer. You'll drag around a lot less if you fully release your parking brake. You'd be sur- 'prised how many people forget! by Harriet Bobbins Thinking of becoming a Poster Home? Thinking of adopting a pet? A bumper crop of kittens this year hj»g created quite a problem. All of our foster homes, the backbone of Helping Paws, are filled. Therefore, we desperately need additional homes in which to place the stray and aban­ doned. When the Helping Paws phone rings, it hurts to say no. It hurts to say there is no place for that unwanted animal. If you are interested in a kitten or cat, please consider adopting one now. They do not require too much care and in return will add enjoyment and contentment to your own life.. Please help us to help them, call 459- 2641. A reminder to those of you who now own pets; please remember that the solution to this problem is to spay- neuter! All pet adoptions must be validated by the signing of a contract, along with the adoption fee which includes the cost of the spay or neuter surgery from a vet of Helping Paws' choice, or a deduction from the cost of the surgery if done by a vet of your choice . When adopting a pet through Helping Paws, please for your future reference, keep name, address, phone number of the person from whom you adopted pet, and adoption fee, by check, payable to Helping Paws.

Among the best-known nutrients shown to be inadequately supplied in the diets of many Americans are vitamin C, iron and calcium. Q. What has been the most im­ portant cause of America's nutritional problems? A. The American diet has changed drastically since the turn of the century. Our consumption of whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables has declined sharply. As j our way of life has speeded up and become less home-oriented, we have begun eating many more meals outside the home, leading to the consumption of more processed foods and to a haphazard rather than planned diet.
