There's An Answer Slate Membership Dinner »«.luwni , »• Uilltvnill Wf UN (by INorniaii Vincent I Vale and Rutli Stafford I Vale) So Much Love to Give Q. I dated a nice man for almost 4 years. He was warm and nice to be with. But I feel he was ashamed of me because he wouldn't take me anywhere. We'd watch TV at my apartment. He had a good many problems with finances and health, and many times I went without just to help him. I never regretted it. I loved him and still do. A year ago he asked me to get a loan for him. and I couldn't do it. I haven't heard from him or seen him since. What can 1 do to get him off my mind? I'm 32 and I'm hurt and londy. I have so much love to give and want so much to marry. A. You impress me as a person with a warm and giving nature whose desire to give love and to marry blinded you to this man who, quite abruptly, disappeared when you could no longer help him. I can understand how hurt and lonely you feel. But dwelling on these thoughts will not bring you happiness or someone to love. Try to direct yourself toward new friends; join a church group, an exercise class, a community organization. Open yourself up to new people and new situations, and soon your mind will be dwelling on the future and its opportunities father than on the past. * We are sending you our booklet, Help Yourself With God's Help, which is free to any reader of this column.

Without any real warning I can get myself into these depressions. I just ruin so many days which could be enjoyable and worthwhile. I know Fm trying to have the "perfect marriage" and be a "perfect mother," and that I shouldn't do this, but it's so hard to change yourself. The whole thing is so complex. Is there any way I can stop doing this? A. You have already taken the first steps in conquering depression and your need to be perfect. You recognize, correctly, that life shouldn't be this way. The goals we set for ourselves should be realistic. They should inspire us, but they should not control us. Trying to be a perfect mother (an unrealistic goal, considering the frailty of human nature) leaves no room for a spontaneous, easy relationship between a mother and her child. Try, for example, taking your youngster in muddy playclothes to the supermarket rather than in the "perfect" clothes you usually require. To your amazement, you'll experience an ease, a rapport with your child because unnecessary pressures are lifted. Savor that moment of relaxed closeness with your child and pull it out when you next feel yourself slipping into a depression. Try this experiment in other areas of your life: your marriage, housework, etc. One moment of success will lead to another and slowly but surely you'll emerge from darkness into an enriched life.

That's what the members of food cooperatives in the Chicago Metropolitan area have been doing in recent months. McHenry County college is offering a chance to find out more about how food co-ops work and help in organizing one. On Wednesday, Feb. 20, the college is offering a seminar titled "Food Co-ops and How to Start One" from 7 to 9 p.m. at MCC. Art Rasch, a director of the Chicago Area Co-op Information center, will run the seminar which will in­ clude slides of how one local co-op functions and a chance to ask questions about the workings of food co-ops. "We will give people the resources they need to start their own co-ops since less than 25 percent of the existing co-ops have openings for members," Rasch said. The co-op movement is really growing, he said, with 160 different food co-ops in existence in the Chicago metropolitan area right now. What's more, the growth rate for new co-ops starting has doubled over the last 18 months. Rasch said. Registration for the seminar can be completed in person at the college through Feb. 20. Conclude Film Series The next T.H.E.O.S. get- together will be Monday, Feb. 18, with a catered dinner at the First United Methodist church at 5:30 p.m. Reservations must be made immediately with Mrs. Wm. J. (Lyda) Radisch, McHenry so that she can advise the caterer in advance of the exact number attending. T.H.E.O.S. members were so pleased with (he catered Christmas dinner, it was unanimously agreed to have the February and March dinners catered at the church. The January attendance was rather small, because quite a few were fighting the "old flu bug", some were away, and some were just afraid of the weather, as it got quite slippery. Get well cards were signed by the group for all the ill members, letting them know they were missed. T.H.E.O.S. is a very warm and friendly group for widows and widowers, is non-denominational, with no age & restrictions and provides a casual get- together for dinner the third Monday of the month to enjoy an evening of fun and fellowship at the church. "To Help Each Other Smile" is the purpose, as well as offering support and experiences helpful to others. The fifth and final film of the series, "Whatever Happened to the Human Race?, will be shown at the Alliance church, 3815 Bull Valley road, McHenry, Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 16 and 17, at 7 p.m. This last film is entitled "Truth and History". The films feature Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer, theologian and author, and Dr. C. Everett Koop, s u r g e o n - i n - c h i e f o f Philadelphia's Children's hospital. Each man has made a study of Western man's development. Dr. Koop's study has been in the field of medicine. The series has been well attended. A question and answer session has been held after each film. Pastor Gerald Robertson has lead these discussions. 9 Thinking men and women no longer take everything they hear as final evidence of things as they are, but rather, like to search out answers themselves. This film series has caused many to stop and think. The Rev. Gerald Robertson en­ courages every teenager and adult to come and see this film. The series has dealt with abortion and euthanasia and are quite revealing in their context.

Consider the cost per serv­ ing rather than the cost per pound when buying meat. If you want to save money on food purchases, remember that about one-third of the dollar you spend for food is accounted for by meat, poul­ try and fish.
