I960 tLi r y Woman s Club Plans : Community • Luncheon And Program MARLENE BARON The annual Christmas party of the McHenry Woman's club will be held Thursday, Dec. 18, at 12 p.m., in St. Patrick's Catholic church hall. A gourmet potluck luncheon is planned by Mrs. Robert (Regina) Green and her committee. The highlight of the af­ ternoon will be an out­ standing program by Marlene Baron, mezzo- soprano. She will perform Menotti's Christmas opera, "Amahl and the Night Visitors", the moving story of a Christmas miracle brought about by a boy's simple faith and self sacrifice. Marlene Baron has had the privilege of studying under an opera scholarship, ap­ peared on television and performed in concert throughout the Midwest. Miss Baron's sensitive vocal and dramatic in­ terpretation combine to bring this beautiful Christmas opera to life. Songs of the Christmas season will provide a charming finale to a perfect Christmas program. This will be a musical event for the McHenry Woman's club and all members are urged to come. ™ " * ™ I L J c l u b - B o a r d m e e t i n g . 9 : 3 0 a.m. DECEMBER 9 Whispering Oaks Garden club-Board meeting, 1 p.m. DECEMBER 10 P i s t a k e e H i g h l a n d s Woman's club-Christmas Dinner, 7 p.m.-Community Calendar ULLU fl I ftJLBB BQBttttai Lotus Country Women Celebrate Holiday Fried chicken and a potluck of casserole dishes and salad, topped off with dessert and coffee, com­ prised the Thanksgiving celebration for 20 members of the Lotus Country Women's club in Spring Grove Town Hall.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Advent Sundays The custom of using a wreath to enjoy the approach of Christmas, to keep in mind its meaning, is growing. The wreath contains four candles, one being lit on the first Sun­ day of Advent (Nov. 30 this year), two the next Sunday, three the next and four the Sunday be­ fore Christmas. Our churches teach that one should prepare for the advent of the Savior on the 25th; in some there are elaborate rituals. But there is doubt when the practice began. Aside from prescribed rituals, the custom of using a wreath with four candles has been adopted by more and more Ameri­ cans, of all faiths, just as Santa Claus comes into almost every home. It's a good custom, for the candles and wreath are reminders of a happy time to come. If lit at each of four successive Sunday dinner tables, they add a warmth, and often a Christian atmosphere, in the home. Present Nutrition Program Nutrition has been in the news a great deal lately. Words like "no artificial sweetners", "natural", and "no preservatives" have become a part of the vocabulary. Many books and magazine articles have been written about it. What is all the excitement about? Would the public like to know more about nutrititon and have questions answered? McHenry School District No. 15 is giving just such an opportunity. On Dec. 3 at 7:30 p.m., at Parkland Junior high school, 1802 N. Ringwood road, an in­ formative meeting entitled "Nutrition: Can It Change Behavior?" will be offered. The evening's program will include a panel of ex­ perts -- Ann Dille, an educator and former project director for the McHenry County Network for Nutrition Education; Dr. Kirshhoff, DDS, a children's dentist; Joan Prather, a Home Economics instructor and director of a high school- pre-school program; and Thomas E. Jauch, clinical psychologist with the Nor­ thern Illinois Human Resources Development center in Crystal Lake. A film will be shown and the panel will answer questions from the audience. A variety of pamphlets and information will be available. Teachers, dentists, doc­ tors and parents have been increasingly aware of the effects of what people eat on their bodies and behavior. The facts are startling! Some of the topics to be covered will be: How does the news media affect food buying? What is the nutritional content in "fast food"? Ideas for packing nutritious lunches and snacks. Does my-child act differently after he has eaten certain foods? This evening is being of­ fered free of charge as a public service through the Illinois Center for Educational Improvement.
