k.'sitiS «ig§Tw®Iv# THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday* March 28# 1963 Wonder Lake • rttfll • LADIES ENJOY VISIT TO FLOWER SHOW IN CHICAGO Bbury LOB Bartof - There were thirty-five pairs Of sore feet in Wonder Lake last Wednesday night but I'm sure everyone of their owners enjoyed the World Flower show very much. The ladies left at 8:30 a.m. ami were delivered - via bus - right to the door of McCormack Place. Since the show did not open until 11 a.m. - everyone headed for the Coffee shop and from then on we were on our own. Separate from the show but of interest to quite a few was the American Indian Exhibit where Indians of various tribes displayed their handiwork, 1 thought the sand painting was especially interesting. An Indian couple were seated on the floor in a box of white sand approximately 9 x 9 ft. square and about 4 inches high. They were making a beautiful design, which looked much like a Navajo blanket, entirely i.t different colored fcands. The flowei *h'«\v Itself was fresh and beautiful and I'm sure everyone's spirits were lifted a little with the display of azaleas, roses, tulips, crocus, lilies, and dozens of others all in full bloom complete with beautiful green lawns and flowering shrubs and trees in full leaf. For those garden clubbers who were interested in arrangements and table settings there were dozens of every description to look at and make mental notes of. It was quite crowded but not uncomfortably so. At 3:30 when the bus arrived to pick us up we were all ready to go home tired but happy. Each one got back on the bus with their little tokens fi-cm the show. Bunches of heal her, a few bulbs, wisps of scotch broom, little plants, etc I even bought a lemon tree seedling. Hope springs eternal. It will probably curl up its toes and die before the week is out but I will try and one just must bring back something lo prove they were there. All in all it was a happy day - and we all compliment, the ladies who arranged the trip.

Postmaster Paul Eberle gave the program for the evening. He spoke of the duties of his job, and the current stages of growth in this area as seen through postal channels. He compared the operation of the postoffice with that of local business and explained how the postmaster is like a "manager." Mrs. Carder joined Eberle in explaining the special delivery and urging everyone to use the postal zone numbers. Jim Robison took over for the usual reporter and we think did a swell job. "There is no class of men so difficult to be managed in a state as those whose intentions are honest but whose consciences are bewitched.
