McCOLLUMLAKE % Yardstick It's Time to Personalize Your Home Mi •' •' Thursday, January 11.1951 f Before we skid into our usual weekly groove, we would like to toss a few verbal orchids at those unsung heroes who man the snow plows when the weather is at its worst. It's nice to get up in the morning out of a warm bed, enjoy a hearty breakfast step out of the house and find that another one of your fellow human beings cared enough to get up hours before you, enduring the elements to make the roads open, and make it possible for you to get to your job on time and without hazard. While we're in the bouquet tossing mood, let us also remember the Property Owners association and the Screwy Dozen, the two organizations that food the bills for this service, and are always ready when the need arises. Chuck" Brocken, one of McCullom Lake's most eligibles, has finally fell victim to "the deadly aim of "Dan Cupid". For years the local belles have' vied to be the "only" to run their fingers through. Chuck's "Toni", but without success. It took a corn-fed Miss from Spencer, Iowa, one Lenora Lauraine Scharnberg, to finally hit on a formula for a concoction to spike the bait to hook our Charlie. On January 21, "Chuck" and the lovely Lenore will march down the main aisle of the Lutheran church in McHenry, to say the words that will make them one. All we can say is that it couldn't iuippen to two nicer people. MANY people today have more skill as house-furnisher^ than as home-makers. Intent upon the efficiency and space-saving necessary to modern living, they forget to add the final small touches that give a house personality Perhaps grandmother overdid things--but when you walked Jnto her house you could tell whether she was handy with her crochet needles, or whether her talents ran to china-painting and indoor cultivation of geranfUms. No matter how handsome a decorator's sketch may appear* it's a mistake for you to copy it in every detail. Your home ^should reflect you--and your own individual likings. j In today's hustle and bustle, take time for little extras. Cover your stools with needlepoint, if that's your tas)e, or your walls with impressionistic paintings if your leanings are more modern. Take your favorite pitcher out of your china cupboard; fill it with flowers and place it on the hall table for everyday enjoyment. Hang that handsome plate you received for a wedding present upon the wall, instead of hoarding it for semiannual dinners. ^ j It's a good idea to strive toward graciousness as well as personality in your house. /To make your guests like 3*011, as well as your home, remember small courtesies like fresh fingertip towels in the bathroom, books on the bedside table, or a special set of cosmetics in the drawer of the guest-room vanity. & frjlmrch Mi. Mary's Catholic Church This guest enjoys her stay in a house that has both personality and graciousness. Fingertip towels, fresh daily, add to the home's hospitable atmosphere and enhance the decor of the bathroom. Sunday: 7:00, 8:30, '0:00, 11:80.

Six years of service to the Knollwood community will come to an end with the disbandment of the Screwy Dozen this month. The good deeds performed by this organization in the past will be a legend in the history of Knollwood. The Screwy Dozen was first organized by the late Jerry Cermak, whose sole aim and purpose in life was to do some good for his fellow man and home community. Membership in the original club consisted of twelve couples, with Otter Ebert providing the odd to make it a Screwy Dozen. In the years that followed, the organization grew with the community and promoted many worthy projects such as road improvement, helping the needy, the sick, and promoting the annual children's Christmas party. With the passing of Jerry Cermak two years ago, the Screwy Dozen lost its leader and reached the point where its existance is no longer feasible. Funds remaining in the treasury will be used to defray the cost of plowing the Knollwood roads for the rest of the*winter, Spring Grove Kitty Tinney celebrated her tenth birthday by inviting several of her friends to her home for a party recently. Games were played and prizes awarded. A lovely lunch consisting of birthday cake and ice cream was served.

Scientific laboratories throughout lie world are using this powerful new, aid for the investigation of medical and biochemical problems. In contrast to the complicated and expensive apparatus so often need- • ed in modern science, here nothing . more elaborate is required than a Strip of paper and a suitable solvent saturated with water. With this simple equipment, chemical compounds in extremely complicated mixtures can be separated from one another and identified Where usual laboratory procedures foil. Better still, the technique often can be employed to detect ex tremely minute quantities of material. ; Although the idea of using a pa per base for the separation of compounds goes back about ninety peat*, the potentialities of the method were not fully realized until HM, when a group of English work Tom Freund, , Charlotte Freund and Donna May vvisited Mr. and Mrs. A1 Schmeltzer in Round Lake on.Thursday of last week. Mr. and Mrs. Danny Miller had a family gathering at their home recently. Dinner and supper were served and everything was dohe for the pleasure of the guests. Mr. and Mrs. Hill and daughter.

His name is "Friskie", a thoroughbred "sooner." Keep McCullom Lake in the news by calling 566-J-2 when you feel like biting a dog. ADIOS. Cheese Sandwiches Cheese is chock-full of proteins-- and 'what's more, it's saving on pennies. So use lots of cheese for lunchbox sandwiches. Your family will love it if you keep their appetites whetted by varying the cheese fillings. Here are a few ideas to start you off. Put equal amounts of Cheddar cheese and cold meat through the food chopper, then season with a tangy pickle relish. Or you can run Cheddar cheese through the food ehopper and mix it with bits of crumbled bacon and minced onion. Thin slices of Swiss type cheese goes wonderfully with ham on rye bread, and you can include a dill pickle to add to its flavor. Snappy cheese has that Menominee. They also eiijoyed the show at the Oriental theatre while in Chicago. Lyle Franzen, a first year medic student at Loyola University in Chicago, visited over the holidays in the home of his aunt, Mrs. Alice Wagner.

Fading is produced principally by the same range of energy as that used by our eyes, so when a showcase is well lighted, to make the articles prominent, they may fade if left there for a long time. Of course, they would fade even more quickly in daylight, where the intensities are much higher. In general, if the articles are changed and shifted frequently enoiigh so that none is clos«* to fne lamp anu receives tne high intensity for more than a week, little fading will be experienced.

The county P.M.A. is helping, and the boys in the Soil Conservation district - office too. We have changes made where farms were sold this week. Each Farm Bureau member will get a co^>y of the book when it is done fend we will have a few hun-r drect tof'sall besides. A total of 3,000 are'being made. Indications are that the Wood stock players will start off to a good season Friday night. Seaeon ticket sales have been very good. Thtt is a fine thing for a community because the plays are excellent, put on by truly professional peQple. Norman Specht, our soil conservationist, has gained himself quite a reputation as a school teacher. He gives his final examination at the first meeting of his class and again at the last meeting to see if they learned anything. He says modestly that no one ever got 100 on the last examination but one did once on \he first examination. He is starting his fourth year as teacher bf the adult class in conservation at the Woodstock Community high school Jan. 11 at 8 p.m. Come in and enroll. He has you develop your own conservation farm plan during the course, which lasts ten meetings, one night a week, Over forty alumni ot, the course are operating under self-developed farm plans today. At Marengo, Norm just completed a ten weeks course, with twenty- five enrolled. They will get their diplomas at a special banquet in March. Conservation of flur natural resources will get a real boost, with farmers developing their own farm plans under the leadership of as able a conservatonist as Mr. Specht ' The other day a young man came out from Chicago who told me quite a story. He didn't know anything about farming but wanted to so bad he had tears in his eyes as he told me about how he had dreamed of farming for himself He says, "Can I make a go of it?" "Yes, you can. It will be tough. The most important thing is, does your wife have the same yen for farming you do? Will she, being a city girl, come home from bridge club at 5 p.m., rip open a couple of cans of goulash and gripe if you don't come in at six if she thinks that is when you should for her convenience? Will she be willing to sacrifice a few of the conveniences of the city? And they die few if you are well established and don't owe too much. "Will she understand about those sows that will take you far into the night at farrowing time when she thought you were go< ing to the theatre?" As the old saying goes, "Will •he throw more in the garbage than you can bring in the front door?" Farming is a two way affair and both ways can't be hers. 81 Mary's By The Lake, Episcopal Oriole Trail and Dole Avenue Crystal Lake Rev.

One change, he says, is well m known and well understood. It " amounts to about a thousandth of a second a century, sufficient to upset seriously some astronomical calculation::. The chan^ is due to the drag of tides over the beaches of shallow seas. This change also affects the day-^figth of the moon. The other change, equally minute, is incalculable and unpredictable. Sometimes ,t hastens and sometimes slows down the earth's rota- m tion. ^ The change could be accounted for quantitatively if the earth expanded or contracted slightly by four or five inches. "The data," Tell New Strides Made In Saving Animal Lives Leading veterinarians of the United States, Canada, and Latin-American countries tell of these strides in livestock and pet care: --BAL (British Anti-Lewisite), developed in wartime as an antidote for poison gas, has proved effective in saving the lives of animals poisoned by arsenic. --Radium and x-ray treatments have been used successfully in treating cancer of the eye and various kinds of tumors in valuable farm ,animals. --A fresh clue to the cause and prevention of mHk fever in cows has been uncovered through studies on "free fatty acids" in the blood of cattle. --New research has shown that brucellosis, a serious disease of animals and human beings alike, can be transmitted to cows through artificial insemination. --The campaign to eradicate footand- mouth disease from Mexico has been aided by the development of a test that permits quick distinction between foot-and-mouth disease an<- a closely similar virus infection called vesicular stomatitis.

The evidence provided by the observations of occultations of stars Dy the moon is that there has been no ma; ->r change in the earth's rate of rotation since about 1618. There may possibly have been small changes, but no definite conclusions are Ss yet possible. It is not inconceivable that there may be small annual variations In the rate of rotation of the earth. There are seasonal displacements of matter over the earth's surface; there is, for instance, a high-pressure region over Siberia at one season of the year and a low-pressure region at another season, entailing the displacement of large atmospheric masses, with a corresponding change in the moment of Mp ertia.
