Seems t' me, that a lot o' elders, like meself, c'n enjoy more, 'n e'er b'fore wi' just sittin' in their easy chair. Keepin' up wi' things a goin' on, is a boon t' toleration o' th' days, when th' bones alow th' longed-for acitivity, an' many don't have th' ability t' adjust t ' lonely hours, wi'out some outside influence. Many subjects 're brought t ' attention, but there's a danger that th' coverage ain't designed t' inform th' public t ' th' extent they're entitled. As f'r th' entertainment on the' TV. guess ye have t' accept what's ted ye, same as th' news. D'tective stories always did intrigue this granny, from th' time I was old enough t' enjoy 'em. Ne'er will forget, when me first-born came along. Accompanin' me lovely roses, was a volume o' Arthur B. Reeve's "Craig Kennedy and the Fourteen Points," in­ scribed, etc. etc., "On the birth of our baby girl." Grandpa Radtke knew how t' allay me impatience, t ' be home. But th' most aVid fans o' th' mysterious minds o' th' detective, finds too much o' it a bit borin', an' th' soul craves a real good drama. Me thinks th' world needs more material that '11 restore some o' th' romance t' screen an' literature. Emphasis on that three letter word, "Sex," seems t' have destroyed all th' mysteries o' same. It's like anticipatin' Christmas. When all th' packages re opened, th' fun o' wonderin' what's in 'em is gone. HIDDEN CURL BE.AUTY SALON 344-1019 National Beauly Salon Week Celebration!

Grandad Knows Grandad usually knows what's really going on. Once he was heard to remark, after talking to a politician for twenty minutes: "I don't know what that guy is talking about, he doesn't say." Maybe that's why most grandads talk to themselves. They like to talk to sensible men and they like to hear sensible men talk Now, somebody's a goin' t ' say, "Well ain't that th' way it is wi' gittin' married?" But ye c'n bet your bottom dollar, there's more t' that 'n meets th' eye. There's so much o' th' ex­ posed female form, these days, it's b'come's common s bread 'n butter, an' th' jam's missin'. All th' feminine pretties used t' pervide th' "jam", an' many a feller's fallen f'r some pretty rutfles that made an attractive frame f'r a prettier face. It ain't important, so much, though, as what's on th' inside, an' T V. has th' power t' shape our minds. There's always good an' bad in most things. Grandma Radtke Hospitality Day Features Found On County Fairgrounds 4400 W. Rte. 120, McHenry Building "C" at the McHenry county fairgrounds will be transformed to create a perfect background for the imaginative and beautiful creations of the Coners and the Field and Garden miniatures. All will be ready for guests on Holiday Hospitality day, Oct. 1, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mrs. Richard Gardner and Mrs. Norman Streveler are deocfating the large hall for browsing and shopping in at­ tractive . surroundings as one chooses from the Holiday House, Autumn Glories, the Boutique. Trim the Tree shop or Mrs. Charles Wright's Field and Garden miniatures. In Holiday House one will find wall hangings, wreaths, and door swags. The wreaths are made from natural materials. Pine cones of various shapes and sizes, some sent by friends from all over the country, are the mainstay, but nuts, pods, gum balls, seeds, elephant ears, acorns and many other treasures from nature are used. Some things that would be thrown away are made into something beautiful, like the lovely flowers made from dried grapefruit skins, used to decorate some of the wreaths. Besides the cones, there are grapevine wreaths, small wreaths made from tiny flowers and seeds, some with sliced nuts and cones and bordered by pine scales, and some made by quilling. Baler twine and straw can be trimmed with nuts and cones and Christmas ribbon to create a wreath elegant enough for any home. The door swags are made from many of the natural materials, one especially handsome variety is created from chicken wire with a permanent decoration of cones \and nuts. No two designs are \ilike and they can be used for many years because each year you refill the chicken wire with fresh evergreens. Autumn Glories will help one find just the right thing for a Thanksgiving table or to give a harvest welcome to the front door. Some wreaths and swags will have a distinct Fall feel and there are turkeys made from pine cones and pheasant feathers that would make perfect place cards or decorate the center of your table. The Boutique department offers gift items, many unique and some offered this year for the first time. One of the new things will be small wood stained crates filled with dried arrangements or small scenes. Here the visitor will find the cone people, little golfers, tennis players and skiers made from cones with tiny goggles, or ski poles. There will be bunches of grapes made from chestnuts and attractive bottles ^111 V.F.W. OPEN TO THE PUBLIC i HAirFOR RENT" !
