Betty HMtemuun Holiday Special Once again the holidays are upon us, so the news lias to be in the office a few days earlier this week, thus making this column a little skimpy. Please call me before noon next Monday if you have news items of any sort. Hospital Releases •Mrs. Marge Fischer returned to, her home in Jak-Ana Heights after spending a few days in the & hospital and Mrs. Estelle Klapperich is now horrte from Memorial hospital, where she underwent surgery earlier last week. ^ Speedy get-well wishes are extended to these ladies. Honored With ^ Party Roselle Stilling ivas the guest of honor , at a pi'e-graduatlon party at the home of. her parents last Thursday evening. She was presented with many lovely gifts frtom the following girls in her class: Georgette Miller, Nancy Weber, Sandra Whiting, Janice . and Joyce May, Kathy Thompson, Barbara Schlick, Barbara Skrentny, Rtith Regner, Virginia Meyers, Janice Huff, Judy Michels, Joyce Schafer, Diane Fugate, Patty Hiller, Janice Wakitsch and Marilyn Fuchs. Lunch was served later to all the girls. To The Rescue Once Again The Johnsburg rescue squad chalked up another1 good deed Q , to their long list of rescues last week. When the wind switched so suddenly last Tuesday evening, a, boat capsized out on Pistakee Lake. A resident in the vicinity thought- she heard someone calling for help. After using binoculors to search the water, she spotted someone in the water. The rescue squad was summoned to the scene where they went out in boats to make the rescue. The man and woman taken from the water appeared unhurt from their near brush with tragedy, although there may be a few new gray hairs added. 'Once again, may we say "hats off" to the Johnsburg rescue squad members. There is one more point I think should be brought up ul £ this particular time. I have heard from certain sources that there are people who are under -the impression the squad charges a fee wjien they go out on calls. This is not so. These fellows donate their time and effort to make these calls, where they can help any person or persons in need of medical attention, besides attending first aid classes and meetings several times each P month. They go out on all types of distress calls; such as drownings, accidents, heart attacks, etc. I'm not saying they do not accept financial aid because, as in any organization of this type, they need funds for upkeep and the purchasing of new and better equipment. Stop a minute and think how many calls have been answered since the rescue squad has beeri in existence and then jslt down and think how lucky we are to have a squad like ours. TV Celebrities Friends and relatives were happy to see Jean, Joy and Karen Hettermann^ when they appeared on television last Thursday afternoon. They were escorted into Chicago by their 'ft mothers and grandmother, Mesdames Helen, Mary and Betty Hettermann, to see the Lunchtime Little Theatre program. The girls were quite excited when the stars of the show talKed to each child. It Is Differences Of Opinion That Makes Horse Races" •(Author's iMtme below) In a horse race differences of opinion only mean the gain or loss of money, but where medicines are concerned your health, even your life is at stake. It is the opinion, enforced by the laws of our state, that a Pharmacist must gain the necfessafy knowledge at a college of ' pharmacy," and pass an examination to prove that knowledge before being permitted to compound prescriptions. Only a Pharmacist has this complete training. Therefore there can be no differences of opinion as to where the safest place is to obtain any medicine. Always get any medicine in a pharmacy from a pharmacist. • TOUR PHYSICIAN CAN PHONB McHenry 26 WHEN YCTCT NEED X A MEpICINE A great many people entrust us with the responsibility of filling' their prescriptions.

H. R. Tvemmerer, extension landscape specialist at the University of Illinois College of Agriculture, says that putting more fertilizer than normal under the crown of the tree will help to take care of the needs of the tree as well as the grass. And you can water around the trees enough in dry weather to soak the soil several inches deep so that both trees and grass will get enough moisture. Plant grasses that will grow better in" the shaide than will Kentucky bluegrass. Kemmerer suggests. Red fescue • and trivialis bluegrass are recommended for the north-central states. Rake fallen leaves promptly to prevent them from smothering the grass. When you can, it is a good idea to force grass into rapid growth while the leaves are off the trees. That will help you to get a good turf before the area becomes too shaded. You can do it by fertilizing in the spring and fall and by watering whenever the soil is dry. If you still cannot grow grass in-youV' slia^d areas Wspite 'of enough fertilizing and other steps you'll probably be hnore satisfied if you plant ground cover like vinca, pachysandra or purpleleaf euonymus. Kemmerer says. MAKE TRAYS F6r VETERANS CONSUMPTION OF DAIRY PRODUCTS ON THE INCREASE Americans consumed 411 pounds of dairy foods per person during 19155; 5 per cent more than in 1954, it has been announced. Fluid milk consumption rose to 140 quarts per person; ice cream and dry milk hit new all time highs; butter added to its gains, continuing an upward trend in sales begun in 1953; and cheese, cream and evaporated milk held their own. J These facts -were reyeiled recently in the 1956 issue of "How Americans Use Their Dairy Foods," a special report issued annually by the National Dairy council ,tlie non-profit, nutrition research and educational agency of the dairy industry.
