Cater meals Due to the decrease in federal funding and no increase in support from local com­ munities, the Board of Directors of the McHenry County Senior Citizens' Council has made the decision to change to catered meals. Since Monday, Oct 3, Ace Coffee Bar of Elgin, IL has been preparing and delivering the meals to each center. . The kitchen in the multi- building will no longer used. Those at the center have all been very proud of the kitchen staff and their food preparation; however, lack of funding has made this action necessary. The format for reservations of meals has changed. Instead of calling in a reservation one day prior, it has become necessary to know the Tuesday prior to the week being served. For in­ stance, if one wished to eat at the center the week of Oct. 24, he or she must have made a reservation on Oct. 18. Anyone having any questions regarding this matter is requested to call the central office and ask for Judi at 455- 2157, or toll free at 1-800-892- 3273.

Seems like th' year rolls around faster every year, an' we prepare f'r winter, howe'er it comes. Wi' th' unusual months past, we wopder. A thinkin' about th' younger set brings t' mind th' words in th' sermon Sunday. Pastor was elaboratin' on th' wrong influences these days an' lack o' ability on part o' parents t' control th' most available one, th' television. It seems too bad that th' powerful source o' en­ tertainment should be th' main teacher o' wrong doin' soaked up by young minds. "Pourin' garbage into th' minds o' our young people every day," he went on, lamentin' about how th' strongest media we have fails In th' mission o' im- provin' society. In only a tew years, th'* change is incredible, an' we who lived in th' city regret t' see how things ha* changed. Accordin't' statistics, young people ha' b'come th' greatest offenders, an' this granny heard an investigator report th' confessions o' one young boy, admittin' that seeinT people on th' tube "Wasted" when they got in th' way. Younguns get so used t' seein' killin's, every day, right in their own homes on th' screen, that they have no qualms about it in real life. This granny's been a .harpin' on it f'r lo these many years, an it's happened. God f'rgive us, f'r allowin' it. Enough o' this, now, an' back t Mother Nature an' her bounties. Wi' th' light frosts, folks ha' gleaned th' gardens, an' th' lovely green tomatoes seem t' be plentiful. Me son was remindln' me o' th' green tomato pickles (his favorites) an' so' me readers may foiler suit n' preserve th' pretty green fruit, the method follers. Ye tak th' smaller ones, less than two 'n half inches across; wash 'n core 'em, 'n slice crosswise about a quarter inch thick. Me ol' recipe calls f'r a gallon o' green tomatoes, six good size onions, sliced n' sprinkled wi' about half a cup o' salt, 'r less, n' stand o'er night. In th' mornin', drain off th' liquid. Boil t'gether about a quart o' vinegar, wi' about a neapin' tablespoon o' mixed picklin' spices tied in a little piece o' cheesecloth, an' mustard seed, celery seed, an' pep­ percorns, about scant tablespoon each, sprinkled in, n' about one n' one-half cups sugar, n' boil about five minutes. Now, ye add the tomatoes ,and onions, an' I almost f'rgot' th^mMt important, green peppers, all diced up, about five t six o' nice size, t' give about a heapin' cupfull. This granny liked brown sugar, packed in th' cup, so's t' ha' th' right amount o! sweetness. Ye may take half granulated an' half brown if ye like. Be sure n' not let th' pickles boil, but keep heat very low, n' simmer about 20 minutes 'r so.

Gamper Natural Childbirth classes are being presented at McHenry Hospital, starting Tuesday, Dec. 6. Registration is limited to a small, personal class size. The 10 classes cover ab­ dominal breathing exercise, an th' jars sterilized n' hot, so ye c'n pack 'em wi' th' pickles, n' cover wi' sterilized tops. In days past, we used" t' pack th' tomato pickles in crocks, n' cover th' tops wi' cotton battin'. It was a sort o' grey color, n' used f'r that purpose.
