ars & Good •» WMW«m •/. Martin by William J.Martin Clothes are like any other iteip you purchase. If you plan your needs ahead of time and avoid impulse buying, you can benefit from considerable savings. Obviously, it's wise to shop during sales. But it is helpful to know what different types of sales can mean in terms of merchandise as well as in potential savings. A clearance sale will usually be your best bet. You can often save 50 percent or more. But be especially careful to inspect each item for damage.

Here in Munich during weekdays there are-only a few left. On weekends there are several more. It's a far cry from just ten years ago. Then one could find a, good band in every major beer hall, and there are many, scattered through out Munich. It doesn't take the visitor more than a day to see why the big bands are disappearing here, as they did in America in the fifties. Inflation has pushed prices so high personnel costs are prohibitive. Instead of six- teen-piece bands, now one finds eight musicians in the traditional places. There are no more quartets at hotel restaurant's, such as the re- cently-closed Schottenhamel, in the.old tradition. One can get fine food at many Munich restaurants but even the prestigious Four Seasons Hotel offers only apianist, nights. The robust atmosphere still prevails at the Hofbrau Haus but the greatest attraction that is uniquely Munich and Bavarian are the beer gar- fx J 11. Sims dens, such as the Augustin- er Keller garden. One hopes the day when women in black - dresses quick-stepping back and forth between taps-and tables with six, eight, ten or twelve big steins of beer is not to come to an end. There isn't much that better personifies the Munich spirit then a spit- roasted half chicken, mixed salad, after sliced and salt ed radishes and a stein of this beer, in a jovial, folksy outdoor garden. Travelers talk, write and sing about the sidewalks of Paris, the cafes in Spain and other delightful European in stitutions. Non.^ captures the fancy of Americans as quickly as the beer gardens of Munich. One finds here happy peo ple only, not inebriated, but mellow and tolerant. One sees life on parade and so ciety in review. Rich and poor, fashionable and modest alike gather on summery days in these gardens. A visit to Munich without an afternoon in one of them is like miss ing the Louvre in Paris or Buckingham Palace in Lon- ond. Don't do it. :A n lEK 4-H TITLE- Candidates for the 1975 McHenry County 4-H Queen honor gather with the reigning king, Tom Lagerhausen, following their selection to vie for the title.
