Following the Democratic convention, we carried a short resume of our observations, among them the fact that the party leaders had provided TV listeners with added attractions in the way of sharing the President's birthday party, and also a spectacular fireworks display. We had pondered briefly whether some Republicans might wonder who was paying for the skyrockets. In our mailbox this past week was a small clipping, apparently from a metropolitan paper, giving this information. It tells us that the New Jersey convention host committee paid $10,000 for sixty tons of fireworks to mark the end of the Atlantic City convention. No more wondering on the part of anyone! A note from the Charles Anschutz family, changing their address from Castro Valley Calif., to San Lorenzo, in the same state, carried a welcome note: "We still enjoy reading your paper after leaving McHenry eleven years ago, but the names are getting less and less familiar. "With such rapid growth, we can assure the former residents that many of the names are not familiar even to those of us who have lived here continuously. Among our invitations this past week was one which read "Omit bearer of this card and guests free of charge". Needless to say, we were afraid to take a chance at the gate. We at the Plaindealer are sharing this week in the pride of a brand new grandmother co-worker Marie Yegge. A husky boy was born Sept. 15 to Mr. and Mrs. Jack Yeggc. K.A.F.

Weekly rehearsals will be held every Monday night at 8 p.m. The choral association was formed early this summer by the members who presented "Brahms Requiem" last March. The first concert of their 1964-65 season is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 29, and will be the "Vivaldi Gloria". It is an intricate and demanding piece of baroque music. The famous composition by Antonio Vivaldi was written around 1725 and first presented for modern music lovers' enjoyment at Siena, Italy, in 1939. It has since become one of the most popular works for choral presentations. The "Gloria" in its present form has never before been presented in northern Illinois. The Northern Illinois Choral association states that it still has openings for all voices. Anyone living in northern Illinois interested in singing is welcome to join. Membership forms may be obtained by contacting Robert Hilgoe, 207 Terra Cotta avenue, Crystal Lake, 459-5317, or Mrs. Marian Ackerman, 351 Marhil Court, Crystal Lake, 459-0322.

Stuff it and Sauce it with Canned Condensed Soup I Everyone talks about meal magic. It's really possible you know. All it takes is a well stocked shelf of canned condensed soups. The contents of those cans turn into sauces or cooking ingredients as fast, and as tastily as you could ever dream. And, an even bigger bonus to homemakers this month (coping with hubbies filing income tax returns) canned condensed soups are penny-pinchers, too. Economical to use, they turn the most ordinary cuts of meat and fish into gastronomical delights. As meatless, as well as inexpensive, meals are on most everyone's minds these days, here's a glamorous entree worthy of special occasions. Celery Stuffed Blue Fish makes its debut at the dinner table, stuffed and sauced with Canned condensed cream of celery soup. Sound impossible? Not at all! Some of the soup binds bread cubes, minced onion and chopped dill pickle to make a highly complimentary filling for the fish. The sauce of remaining soup contains more dill pickle, parsley, and sour cream. Garnish your .fish platter with broiled mushroom caps . . . and lemon wedges. For a tart conclusion a fruit flavored Danish pudding (the packaged variety).

Carpentier Secretary of State ROAD SIGNS IN CONSTRUCTION AREA8 • Road building has reached an all time high. The new Interstate system Is being rushed to completion at many points throughout the state. In addition, many state roads are being improved OP rebuilt. Highway construction zoneg present special problems for drivers. Temporary inconvenience is, of course, unavoidable while the new roads are being built; however, the highway engineers and road contractors take special pains to provide for the safety of those who must travel the areas under construction. AHtAO A "I'll help you watch the road signs through here, Joe. These construction areas can get pretty tricky." Special road signs are posted In construction areas to warn drivers and to guide them through the detours. The first thing a driver must do is to SLOW DOWN. Warning signs are posted sufficiently far in advance to enable a driver to bring his car under control without making a panic stop. Watch out for road machinery, construction vehicles, flagmen and survey teams. Remember, a construction zone can be an area of high hazard if you fail to observe the warnings. Drivers must be especially careful to note and follow directional signs. A wrong turn can lead one into a real messy situation. We recently observed the predicament of a driver who ignored a road sign and suddenly found himself stalled in a mound of loose gravel right in the path of a giant grading machine. Fortunately no one was injured, and the incident probably taught him a driving lesson. Get your copy of the NEW "Rules of the Road" from your driver examination station, or write to Charles F. Carpentier, Secretary of State, Springfield. HOT always... when you want it, when it's needed most..
