Youth Meets Age In Spirit Of The Holiday > Students of McHenry County tollege had the privilege of ^pending some time with residents of rest homes in McHenry county last week. £-The McHenry County college's ornamental hor­ ticulture students grew pot mums as part of their class lab work in a Greenhouse Management course this past semester. The project was shared by the college and community as eighty-two of the potted mums were wrapped for Christmas, including a Christmas card, and delivered by the students to rest homes within the county. In most cases the flowers were given personally to residents as the students visited the homes in Crystal Lake, Woodstock, Harvard, and the county rest home. The students were very impressed by the happiness and love shown by the people receiving the flowers. The following rest homes were visited by the students: Valley Hi, Hartland; Crystal Pines Nursing home, Crystal Lake; Fair Oaks Nursing home, Crystal Lake; Harvard Rest home, Inc., Harvard; and Woodstock Residence, Woodstock. The Woodstock Children's home also received potted plants.

GEfE N ST Mc H E N R.Y, ilkScSO arxt. r? <*/C#A/£X<0<e£SS WE r Tips For The Homemaker Some manufacturers extend the low-heat range of their slow-cooker to add to ver­ satility. If you purchase or already own*# slow-cooker that warms, pay extra attention to which low setting you use, cautions Pat Frank, University of Illinois Home Economics adviser. Some slow-cookers permit you to set the temperature below 145 degrees F. Bacteria grow in temperatures ranging from 40 to 140 degrees F. and may survive in temperatures above 140 degrees F. The USDA rule of thumb for high-protein, low-acid foods is: -Food should not remain in the danger zone-60 to 120 degrees F.-for longer than two hours. -Food should not remain in the 40 to 140 degree F. range for longer than four hours. The two-and-four hour periods include preparation, room temperature storage, and cooking time. Maternal great-grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Jensen of Harvard and Mrs. Clara Bruce of Mt. Vernon, 111., is the great-grandmother. The new father is serving in the Navy at Saratoga Springs. For safety, seafood and milk should be added the last few minutes. Spanish rice with its acidic tomato base ranks as less critical than a protein food from a safety standpoint. In a laboratory test, the temperature at the edge of one slow-cooker reached 120 degrees F. in twenty minutes, but one hour and fifteen minutes were required to reach 140 degrees F. in the center. In a slow-cooker, a three-and- one-half-pound chuck roast reached 120 degrees F in its outside one inch in two hours; but it took four and one-half hours to reach 140 degrees F. in the center. Thought For Food lazed Corn Beef Cover 6 pounds corned be^f with water and simmer about 4 hours or until beef is tender. Remove from water and drain. Put corned beef into a shallow baking pan Brush top of meat with aromatic bitters mixed with mustard. Sprinkle with brown sugar Stick cloves into beef. Bake in preheated 400 degree F. oven for 20 minutes or until beef is glazed and bubbly. Serve with boiled po­ tatoes, cabbage wedges, whole onions and chunks of carrots.

POETS CORNER A LAST THOUGHT ABOUT THE OLD YEAR Before the old year comes to an end let us kneel down and fold our hands. We should thank God.... that He guided us thru this past year, thru sickness, death sorrow and fear. We should thank Him... . ..for the lonely hours where we found time to think about Him and His Son, so divine. ...for the happy and joyful moments which He gave to each and everyone... when we found someone and became good and true friends. ...for the birth of a child which entered this world and brought with him so much sunshine and light. ...for the rain in spring the sunshine in summer which gave us... a rich harvest in fall... ...for all the gifts we have received, may they be great and big or small. ...for the strength that we can sing, laugh and talk... ...for every single day when we can wake up, open our eyes and look towards the sky... there we can see the morning sun which stands above, so high. and for the gift of every season here on our earth... all this should remind us, to say: "God, we believe in you and your holy word". So, with these thoughts in mind we should now say goodbye to the old year and welcome the New... * with a smile and a tear... and a prayer in our heart for understanding... and so, peace on earth, down here. by Maria Heiser jj Are You New In \ S McHenry Area ? » ^ * • •••••*••• * Do You Know Someone new?
