The presents have all been opened, - the expensive wrappings burned, and Christmas, 1957, has become a part of history. Some Of the toys the youngsters received yesterday have already been broken --but shucks, they were fun while they lasted! The warm spirit which emanated from families gathered around. a ^festive board still lingers as a "leasant memory.1 Here's hoping everyone enjoyed the most blessed Christmas ever, and the cominjfyear will bring peace, progress and prosperity --to ALL countries. With the New Year * approaching, drive with a little extra care 'so thftt none of our residents have cause to grieve. God bless each and everyone of you --for now l^nd always! . Sad Climax To a wonderful Florida vacation for Ruth and Bob Smith. After spehding two Weeks in the sunny clime, Ruth became ill and flew home. Bob planned a leisurely drive, but he, too, was stricken with pneumonfa, enroute. He ended up in a hospital in Salem, Ind. jMrs. Smith and friend, Miss Laura TWeyers of McHenry, went down l?y plane to be with him. Depending oh the circumstances, Ruth hoped to have him hospitalized closer to home. His condition was critical, according to the last report. Here's honing that Bob is "on the mend" by now. the colored Christmas- lights which are prominently^ displayed around doorways, on cAitside trees and making an attractive window frame would reflect to bettfer advantage. Among the first we noticed were the homes of Mr. and Mrs. Jake Kantorski, Ahne and Frank Passalaqua, and Mr. & Mrs. Chris E>vore. Many others .have also -trimmed for., the holidays and add much to the beauty of the surroundings. Sad but True One of the early'families te settle as permanent residents in the community have "packed their tent" and taken a different address. Betty and George Baumbeck --together with their sons. "Butch" and Rickie, moved away Saturday morning. For many years, George has wanted a plot of ground that he could till and plant. He. finally realized his dream with the purchase of fifteen acres just outside of McHenry. For the benefit of those who wish to keep in touch, the ne.w address is Route 4. Box 181 -- Mason Hill road, McHenry. We couldn't be happief for them. A Woman's Prerogative To change her mind, according 0/0 the old saying--and that is precisely what Miss Carol Roberts did. A A once in a lifetime wedding with all the frills and fanfare is what she and her fiance, Art Hafer, Jr., desire. And it seems as -though they will have it. The date is still indefinite, as c?f this writing. As soon- as plans arc completed --you will have the •^facts. While mothrr of the fufpure bride, Mrs. Evelyn Harrison, is frantically trying to complelo the nuptial arrangements, sht> must still find time to care for Sharon Gaye, her infant daughter! Among the First With a soft blanket of snow,' Newly Occupied The cute little cottage of Park View which the Baumbecks vacated Saturday morning, was well occupied by the same night. Mrs Pearl Padelford, Marie Howe's sister, purchased the place and moved in-- "bag and baggage". Mrs. Padelford has beer} making her home with Marie and Vic since the d?ath of her husband two months ago. Pearl is a friendly4 out-going person, and anxious to meet her new neighbors. Wouldn't it be nice to make her feei like she was among friends? V End of Miswfy Dave Hansen, who lias had no end of misery and trouble with damage to his legs-- caiised in great part by athletic strain - is having the situation 'remedied Wednesday, Dec. 18,** .the first limb was "taken apart* and put back together again, pave hoped to be home with hi$ family for Christmas and have the"-.iecond operation performed aft^r the holiday. Easy enough for ||il and • I the youngsters to visit" him since he was* a patient at McHenry hospital. , ( Silver Wedding ' Marge and Fred Thomseri marked tWe occasion with a large type shin-dig in their Chicago home Saturday, Dec. 14. The guests included Li! and Lee Sawdo, Erling Olsen, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Osterby and sons; and of course, Grandma Rognstad. The actual date of their anniversary was Tuesday, Dec. 17. It was a fine party and thoroughly enjoyed. Elsie Osterby took the opportunity of having her natal daiy. Dec. 18, toasted by all those present. Yule Festivity Evie and Walter Patzke donned their finest garb for ^the annual Christmas party given by Walter's place of employment. The cock- Food Sense--Not Nonsense Up In The Air About Size? When is size not a measure is a tantalizing riddle. One answer comes from the stroller set. Bigger babies are not always healthier babies. Even in early life, size is not a true measure. To Judge a child or man by his size is as much an error as to mistake his shadow for his true measure. Not everyone is destined to be a Goliath. Height did not help Goliath when he tangled with David, who packed his punch in a slingshot. Whatever his size, each man or child packs his own special punch, be it courage, ability to create, athletic prowess, his own brand of vitality. Whatever his aim, there's a good chance he can reach the top of the heap, although his longest shadow may not be Goliath-like. The key to producing a race of stalwart men seemed to be at hand when it was noted that overfeeding stimulated growth. The hope was short-lived. While the freshman in college may be taller than his father was, this taller boy matures earlier, stops growing earlier. The average height of college graduates remains about the same. Although what one eats affects his body build, final measure depends or. one's choice of ancestors. Overfeeding and its hazards, such as overweight -- difficult to correct in adult years -- has been linked to a shorter life span. So when pint-sized Jamie doesn't want as much food as stocky brother, mother need not push the panic button and start stuffing. Instead, she should make x sure that the foods he eats are those that are best for him. These have been outlined by U.S. Department of Agriculture nutritionists whose diet plan includes all food essentials with no undue emphasis on any one: fyjeat or an alternate, fruits and vegetables, milk, enriched or whole grain cereals and bread. tail party and dinner dance was held at the Barrington country club ThupSaay, Dec. 19.
