ftunday, August 22, 19Bj THE McHENRY PLAIN DEALER Page Elavan Sunnysid* Estate* OFFER SYMPATHY TO FAMILY ON EHLERT DEATH HM Wmcxyngw 880-8105 May we offer to Mildred $enkerik our deepest sympathy on the death of her father, John Ehlert. He would have been eighty-three years old this month, I believe, and leaves his widow, Louise, and ten children, plus numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. All their hearts are no doubt heavy with grief now, but as the heartache wears off a little, all the happy memories of him will fill their hearts with joy once again. Sorry To Learn We just learned that Chet Banker is back in the hospital once again. We trust it won't be too long before they get him well enough once again that he can return home to his family. He is at Hines hospital for those of you who care to write. House Full Millie and George Kropf celebrated their twenty-eighth .wedding anniversary on Saturday, Aug. 10, with a houseful of dinner guests, twenty in all. Those who were fortunate enough to partake of Millie's usual delicious dinner were Ceorge's mother, Tillie Kropf; Mill's mother, Mae Becvar; Mill's sister, Vi; Vi's in-laws, Florence and Will Panter; dear friends of Mill's, Mr. and Mrs. John Nick; Linda Janicki; Mill and George's two sons, Ray and Georgie; and the Walczynski clan, Stan, Joan, Judy, Stan, Mary, Bill, Paul and our niece, Peggy Zmundski, who was our house guest at the time. Everyone had a wonderful day. Christening Lorraine and Steve Major's grandson, Jeffrey Joseph, was christened on Sunday, Aug. 11, at St. Mary's church in Mc- Henry. The ceremony took place at 2:30 p.m. with Father Baumhoefer officiating. The godparents were Jean Liptrot and Dwayne Kennebeck, both of McHenry. Lorraine and Steve hosted the buffet supper at their home following the ceremony and guests included the maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Oik and children, Jean, Nancy, Theresa, Matthew, and Loring; and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Duffey and son. Dale, all of whom are of McHenry. We can't forget to mention the proud parents, Margaret and Steve Major, Jr., as well as Auntie Janice and Uncle Mike Major. We wish to express to Mttle Jeff our good wishes for a life full of good health and happiness rich in God's blessings. Vacations We learned of more vacations that took place recently and thought you might like to share some of the wonderful places that were visited by different neighbors in our fair community: # ; In July. Bernice and Earl lfjry and children, Sandra and 'fommy, shared their vacation with Bernice's sister and family, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Miskanis, and their two sons. They spent the entire trip camping and traveled some 2,200 miles. They had the good fortune to travel to Canada and covered some 500 miles that side of the border. On the way up they stopped at Owen, Wis., to visit another of Bea's sisters and spent a few days there, and when they left they decided to take their niece, Nancy Hendricks, along. (What a nice gesture on their part.) From there they traveled through Minnesota and on into Canada. Coming home they returned by way of the Michigan side of the Lake and stopped at Mackinac Island. They said the trip was just wonderful but they had more than their share of the rain and winds that seemed to follow them. Then, too, Bernice suffered a siege of the flu or viirous during the trip, but in spite of all the troubles the trip was a happy one. Another vacationer in our midst was that nice young man, Donnie Rose. Don spent three weeks visiting with his aunt, Alvina (Mrs. Frank J.) O'Brien in Racine, Wis. Aunt Alvina not only planned a terrific itinerary but was thoughtful enough to invite two other nephews, Douglas and Bruce Rose, from Knoxville, Tenn., to spend two weeks with them, so as to give Donnie companions to share in the fun. When I say an itinerary, I mean just that. This is how their schedule was: Polo games in Milwaukee; race track in Chicago; Racine Museum; Milwaukee Zoo; Roosevelt Park; a Circus; Muskiego Beach on Lake Wisconsin in Portage (stayed there two days and while there went through the Dells and had the duck ride); visited the Dawn Manor House, which is upon the death of the owner) willed to the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation; then back to Racine and saw two horse shows at the Lake front, and a double-header which the Milwaukee Braves split with the Cincinnati ball team. Then Donnie returned home for one" day, where his folks, Mary and Herb, hosted a dinner for the O'Brien family, the Rose boys and their dad from Knoxville. Then Douglas and Bruce returned home witli their dad, but Donnie went back to spend another week with his aunt and uncle and this time they invited another cousin of Don's, Sandra Hawes of Racine, to spend the week. As if this didn't wear him out, Mary and Herb took him J:o the Wisconsin State Fair in Milwaukee on jJvmd^y, Aug. 11. Another family that spent their vacation time traveling was the Wegner family. Helen, Keith, Steve, Kathy and Carol motored to Jacksonville, Fla., to visit Helen's aging grandmother, Helen Martin. While there, Helen looked up some old school chums and did some reminiscing, as well as taking her family on the sightseeing tour and a trip to the beach. From there they traveled to Miami to see her father. On the; way they stopped at St. August tine, but Helen says she didn't bother drinking from the Fountain of Youth this time, because she had done so twice in her youth and felt the result wasn't too alarming. While in Miami they spent time at the beach and the dog race track (Helen's dad is a greyhound trainer). She tells me that she also learned that a former girl friend is a successful New York actress currently appearing in the stage hit, "How to Succeed, etc." Next they toured the keys on the way into Key West. Then on to Orange City to visit Kathy's godparents. Also visited Daytona Beach, which is a real beauty. Then they backtracked to Miami once again and back to Jacksonville. From there they traveled up to Macon, Ga., and visited the Ocmulgee National Monument. From there to Chattanooga, Tenn., to visit Lookut Mountain. And then they headed home. They were sorry that they didn't have the opportunity to stop in Tullahoma, Tenn., to visit the Kimbros but the hours they were going and coming through there just didn't seem right for visiting. They came home spoiled with the luxuries of heated swimming pools and eating out, etc., but they tell me the best sight they saw was the entrance way sign that read "Sunnyside Estate," 'cause , golly they were glad to get home. OOPS! Sorry Department It seems that someone goofed on the list of birthdays last week, so if I may I would like to report that paragraph: Aug. 16, Kenny Roy (13 years old), Ruth Smith and Yours Truly; Aug. 17, Sandra Fry (14 years old); Aug. 18, Florence Kanter and my sister, Loretta Mikklesen; Aug. 19, Bob McDonald; Aug. 20, David Noah (six years old); Aug. 21, Joe Martinez, Jr. (5 years old); Bernice Fry, Louise Olson and Andrew Sabby.

SAFEGUARD YOUR HEALTH to type it up when it comes in like it did this week. Keep up the calls and I'll do my best. 'Bye now! "Sneexln' Season* There are more than eight million persons in the United States to whom the hot weather poses a real problem and great suffering. These are the victims of hay fever and asthma who are abject in their misery of sneezing and wheezing. What are the causes of hay fever and asthma? The most important cause in Illinois is allergy to ragweed pollen. Every year beginning in August and ending in September or October an estimated quarter of a million tons of ragweed pollen is released into the aid. Each individual pollen grain, which is too small to be seen by the naked eye may lie carried by wind for as much as a few hundred miles. When these minute particles come in contact with the nose, eyes or lungs of a susceptible person, a reaction sets in. The eyes may water and itch; there is a tickle in the throat and breathing is difficult. It's sneezin' season! There are other causes of seasonal hay fever and asthma. During the spring the pollen from trees will cause trouble for some persons. A little later grasses pollinate, causing other persons to suffer. This is called rose-fever but is due to grass pollen, not roses. Some persons are allergic to molds, which are also a source of seasonal allergy. Molds, such as the type seen growing on bread, oranges or preserves, or cheese, have seeds called spores, many of which are smaller than pollen grains and travel longer distances in the air. Persons sensitive to these spores suffer in a similar manner to persons susceptible to the pollens. To obtain satisfactory relief of the symptoms of hay fever and asthma, the exact cause or causes must be determined. This requires a complete review of the patient's history by the physician and a series of tests to detect the culprit causing the reaction. Skin tests are usually done and these are performed in various ways. While it is not always possible, economically, to travel to a cold area or one with a high altitude, neither is it practical. Trees, grasses and mold grow all over the world, but, in general, areas with little vegetation, such as high altitudes, have appreciably less of the offending substances in the air. Air conditioning may be effective, provided the pollen is actually filtered out. Thus, when it is impractical to avoid the irritating sources, the best objective is to build up the body's defenses against them. Good results have been obtained in many susceptible persons by injections of an immunizing agent, which is an extract of the offending substance. As the dosage is gradually increased, the body's tolerance increases also. While most persons respond, the relief is not always complete. The person suffering from seasonal hay fever or asthma may also require seasonal treatment by his physician. Sometimes, TV does seem like a vast wasteland -- othertimes, a lot like a vast football field. * " Conscience is whet - blurts when everything else feels so/ good.
