GRANDMA SEZ ••• Sittin* here, in my old rockin' chair, a worryin' about all the younguns, facin' life, some trying* to» avoid involvement wi* the responsibilities it holds, as the years advance, it comes to mind that all the talkin' in the world ain't agoin' to' con­ vince some that they cairft run AwMmwJr In order to better serve McHenry area brides, the Plaindealer sends wedding forms to all those whose engagements have been an­ nounced on our society page and carry a definite date.

Use Safety Treatment For Oct. 31 Costumes Halloween costumes can turn into fire hazards unless they are treated with a fire-retarding solution. The treatment can be applied at home for a few pen­ nies. To prepare the solution, O.L. Hogsett, University of Illinois Extension safety specialist, suggests mixing seven ounces of regular laundry borax and three ounces of boric acid wfth two quarts of water. If the gro­ cer does not stock boric acid, it can be bought at the drug store. Prepare enough solution to saturate the costumes thor­ oughly. Dip cloth costumes into the solution and let them drip dry. Or, apply the solution with a spray. This fire-retardant agent is temporary and does not harm cloth. Regular laun­ dry procedures will remove it from sheets, pillow cases,tow­ els and other washable mat­ erials. Crepe paper costumes should be treated unless the paper was made fire-resistant before it reached retail markets. The la­ bel will list the treatment. Place costume on a hanger where it can hang free. Ap­ ply the solution with a spray, and let the costume dry thor­ oughly before it is worn. Salt crystals of the solution will probably form, but they will glisten and add an extra touch to the costume. If your child plans to carry a jack-o-lantern, light it with a flashlight instead of a candle. away, no matter how they try t' accomplish it. *T feel sorry fer the young folks, nowadays, especially the ones who haven't had the bring- in' up t' fit them fer encounter- in' life, as it comes. These're the ones who fall prey to* the pitfalls, the drug-peddlers, the ruckus rousers, stirred with a fear o' comin' to' the age where the're supposed t' become in­ dependent, and not known' how t' go about it. It's easy fer them t' put up a front, makin' an impression on society and blamin' it fer their plight. Fear 's the evil that drives them on, and they feel that if they stick together they're more secure. Poor mislead kids, products o* this age. Pll wager, if a program was presented, in which these youngsters could participate, all over the world, which would give 'em a chance t' feel im­ portant and neeessary, we'd see a big change, fer the better. There's been attempts, in some areas, 'n some folks're a work- in' toward a better outlook fer the youngsters, but the main thing is t' make 'em feel need­ ed. One thing wrong wi' a good many young folks is that they weren't brought up feelin' that they were a real part o' the family. They were sent away t' find their own recreation, so that the parents could en­ joy their adult entertainment wi' out interference from the younger set. This ain't a heal­ thy attitude, and makes the youngsters feel they ain't wanted around. Many a youngun has gotten inter things he wasn't supposed t', as a result o* bein' shoved out t' spend his time in a theatre, 'r whereever he may end up. In the old days, families got together around the piano, on a Sunday evening, holidays were spent wi' the family group, the family was really important. Nowadays, it seems that it's the individual that's important.

Green 385-0182 McHenry Use Our Easy Charge Plan So, young folks git together and form their own societies. The need fer folks t' be together is important, an' when it is the family thafs t'gether, there aint't no need t' seek other to­ getherness. That'd solve a lot o' problems, seems t' me.
