Page Eight THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, October 15, 1959 Shish Kebab For A Crowd '59 Homecoming Proves Success Shish kebab, traditional cubed lamb and crisp vegetables broiled on skewers, is a perfect choice to serve a crowd. It originated centuries ago in the Near East when Armenian shepherds impaled their food on sticks and cooked it over open fires. Americans are finding it fun to prepare on their barbecue grills, A small amount of beer in this marinade adds flavor and helps tenderize the meat. Fluffy rice, a green salad and goblets of cold, sparkling beer are good accompaniments to shish kebab. Shish Kebab 1 teaspoon crushed oregano Vi teaspoon crushed thyme •jgSjp 1 teaspoon salt -|$j? 6 to 8 green peppers - 16 to 20 small white onions - 1 leg of lamb (5 to 7 pounds), boned 1 peeled, minced clove garlic % cup salad or olive oil % cup beer or ale Have meatman remove bone from leg of lamb. Cut boned lamb into 2-inch chunks, removing gristle and most of fat. Combine garlic, salad or olive oil, beer or ale, pepper, oregano, thyme and salt. Pour marinade over lamb chunks in shallow pan and let stand in refrigerator at least 1 hour or overnight. Cut green peppers into 2-inch pieces. Cut peeled onions into halves. When ready to cook, alternate marinated lamb chunks, green pepper pieces and halved onions on 8 to 10 long metal skewers,. Brush vegetables with olive oil or melted butter. Broil 3 inches from heat source or over coals until tender, about 15 minutes, turning skewers to brown food evenly. To serve, push off onto individual plates. Yield: 8 to 10 servings. Only memories remain of one of the most successful homecomings ever held in Mc- Honry. Climax of the two-day event came at Friday night's dance, with the crowning of the kii\g and queen. The large crowd that attended the feature of the evening, the game between the War- ' riors and Crystal Lake, put • aside their disappointment over the defeat of the local team to i enjoy two hours of dancing in the school gymnasium. During intermission, Ron Smith, last year's Student Council president, crowned Bill Oeffling as king. The 1958 king. Terry Brady, is attending college in Minnesota and was unable to attend. The new queen is lovely Judy Hans, who received her crown from Mary Etheridge, the title holder a year ago. Bill is the son of Mr. iand Mrs. Alfred Oeffling of Johnsburg and Judy is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hans of Lincoln road, McHenry. One of the highlights of the homecoming festivities was the Friday afternoon parade, which was one of the longest lines of march and one of the most colorful ever held in connection with homecoming. The senior class proudly displayed the winning class float for the fourth straight year, followed by the sophomores in second place, then the juniors and freshmen. Organization float honors went to the Girls Athletic association, first; Latin club, F u t u r e T e a c h e r s , F u t u r e Homemakers and Future Fanners.

To substantiate her point, Mrs. Metz stated that in mil nois women voters outnumber the men voters by 108,000. Guests are cordially invited to attend the luncheon which will begin at 12:30 p.m. Reservations can be made through the Pink Lady Shoppe. Polio Patients Need Help It was during a thunderstorm the other day that we picked up a story about a little girl, an iron lung patient, who fears summer electrical storms because they might mean a power failure. And a power failure might mean death. This story, more than any facto or figures, illustrated for us the meaning of the term: "polio emergency." Our county's March of Dimes funds are exhausted. This is a financial emergency that has hit many other towns throughout the country as well as ours and it comes four years after a safe, effective polio vaccine was an* nounced. Why? Some of the polio patients were stricken in the days before the Salk vaccine was available. Some were stricken since. Some never bothered to get vaccinated. A small percentage were stricken simply because no vaccine is 100 per cent effective. To fight this financial emergency, we urge you to c?l!^u,e to 'ke Emergency Appeal of the local March of Dimes. Our county's polio patients depend on you and every cent you give will be spent locally. Help them walk again, by helping pay for the rehabilitation which will make them useful citizens. For some, every step they take in this direction depends on you. For those in iron lungs and other mechanical breathing aids, every breath they draw depends on you. And as you comfort your child by holding him in your arms against the lightning and thunder, think of the little girl whose only comfort during an electrical storm is the security of her iron lung. Help her and others like her with your contribution to the Emergency Appeal of the New March of Dimes. "VOICE MIRROR" PROVES POPULAR AT PHONE OPEN HOUSE REV.

It will run for two hours, from 8 to 10 o'clock, for five weeks. SHOP IN McHENRY A new viius disease, called virus enteritis of mink, can be expected to enter northern Illinois in the near future. It could cripple the Illinois mink industry, a growing part of the state's animal economy.

The pool would be in use only during the summer months at first, but more extensive plans to enclose it at a later date and expand the school's recreational program were discussed. Memberships Announced Lifetime memberships were announced at $450, which entitles the donor and his imme- j diate family swimming privileges for life. A $200 membership entitles the family or individuals to a 50 per cent discount on season passes for a period of five years, and outright donors of $100 or more will have names placed on a permanent plaque erected at the swimming pool entrance. A list of donations to date were announced as follows: Ralph Bennett, $200; Harry Dean, $200; McHenry Medical Group, $100 for three years; William J. Bolger, $200; William A. Pries, $200; Roy Morrison, $100; Peter Schroeder, S200. If the pool contract has not been let by Jan. 1. 1963, the money will be refunded. However, if $30,000 of the total needed is raised by Feb. 1, 1960, the contract will be let. Containers for contributions will be placed in many local stores in the near future, and a thermometer will be located on the safety island at the intersection of Green and Waukegan streets, indicating the progress being made in the way of money received. Insufficient funds hfve brought many a pleasant occasion to an abrupt conclus ion. vision, at least two large trees were uprooted and numerous others were blown over. Another tree at the intersection of Rt. 120 and East River Road fell across the highway and stopped traffic about 5 o'clock. Those who viewed the river as the winds hit said it seemed that the water was tossed at least 30 feet into the air. Family Away Dr. and Mrs. Fike were in Elgin when the storm reached McHenry. Their two 'teenage children, Steve and Heather, were at home when it started to rain. As Heather approached the window to put it down, she saw the roof of the house being blown away. Among the Edgebrook homes most seriously damaged y/ere those of the Hesters, Kings, Fikes, Roland Herrmanns, George Kinsalas, L. Alan Olsons and the Victor Adamses. The only person known to have been out in the open during the storm was Maxine Adams, who had started for the Herrmann home to get her daughter when the storm reached its height. Unable to open the door of the neighboring residence, Mrs. Adams grabbed tightly to a pole in the yard, and fortunately, suffered only a cut ear. Her daughter, Sharon, and a friend, Gwen Reinboldt, had been playing with 2-year-old Mark Herrmann after school. When the storm seemed imminent, Mrs. Herrmann and the children hurried into the basement for safety. Gwen, 7, was taken to a doctor several days after the storm, and it was found that she had glass in her ear. The Herrmann home, one of the most severely damaged, had a large picture on the wall carried by suction from the lower level to the upstairs. Newly purchased outdoor playground equipment for Mark has never been recovered. At the Olson home, the fam ily was just cleaning up afte a birthday party attended b> n e i g h b o r h o o d c h i l d r e n . T h e family was forced to leave their residence until the extensive damage can be repaired. The one bright --and heartwarming -- side of the storm was the wonderful spirit-* of neighborliness shown by nearby communities. Police departments from McCullom Lake, Fox River Grove, Crystal Lake and Richmond were represented, as well as the state police and sheriff's office. Also present to stand by in case of an emergency were the Richmond and Crystal Lake fire departments, the Woodstock Civil Defense disaster unit, the Red Cross and the Johnsburg rescue squad. Of course, members of the McHenry police and the local fire stations were on hand day and night to assist. Members of the V.F.W., its auxiliary, the American Legion and its auxiliary were also there to give assistance. Long lines of cars which began streaming into Edgebrook Heights early Thursday evening continued to bring local residents and visitors to the scene of the storm damage throughout the weekend. Clean-up crews, which , included friends and relatives of victims of the tornado damage, worked throughout the weekend to establish some sort of order. Out of the confusion and fear of the storm came one lighter, note in the sign which was placed in the front of the Kinsala home. It read: "Putting up a good front, but you should see the rear".
