^ Thursday, September 17, 1964 NEW BUSINESS 5ft:s«ss One of McHenry's newest businesses is Reddi's Pet Shop, located at 1218 N. Green street, McHenry. The business is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Gale Holbrook, who moved here from Ingleside about a week ago. They carry fish, birds and a complete line of pet supplies.- CONSERVATION GROUP TALKS OF FOREST PRESERVE The regular meeting of the directors of the McHenry County Soil and Water Conservation district was held on Tuesdaj in the office at 670 E. Calhoun street in Woodstock. Results of the open spaces exhibit at the fair were discussed. Attorney David Joslyn reported recently that more than enough signatures were secured on the Forest Preserve District petitions to place it on a ballot in the November election. McHenry county is one of a few counties in Illinois without a forest preserve. It was pointed out that rolieges, universities and other philanthropic organizations are often the recipient of acreage, sometimes benefitting only by re-selling the land. Were there a forest preserve district, some acreage could possibly be acquired in this way. Kenneth Fiske reported that 250 more Soil and Water Conservation portfolios will be distributed for use in the sixth grade by this fall. The same number were distributed two years ago, and 500 more are requested and will be ordered as soon as finances for the portfolios becomes available. According to Mr. Haning, SCS conservationist assisting the district, the Riley township soil map and the colored soil interpretation maps received enthusiastic acceptance from the County Planning commis-: sion at their August meeting. The commission feels the soil maps and interpretation material will be very useful to them in making land use recommendations for orderly development of McHenry county. Cartographic materials have been obtained and progress is being made in preparing similar maps for each of the remaining townships in the county. Mr. Haning reported ton district activities for the fiscal year ending July 1st. During the year, agreements with sixty- six new cooperators were approved, bringing the total active cooperators to 917. Of this number 594 have used the technical assistance the district provides in developing complete soil and water conservation plans for their farms. MEMBERSHIP IN RED CROSS TO BE OFFERED SOON Due to incomplete coverage of the McHenry county residents at the time of the Red Cross fund drive in March, an opportunity to become a member of the county chapter is being offered on Friday, Sept. 18, in Woodstock and on Friday, Oct. 16, at Crystal Lake. Mrs. Margaret Hahn, volunteer chairman of Tag Days, states that fine cooperation has bpen shown by many of the organizations. It is learned that many residents do not know that a membership in the Red Cross is one dollar, or more, and includes privilege of attending meetings and voting on election of officers and policies relative to the same. This does not mean that all coins, all checks, are not welcome; but it is the folded bill that will allow the chapter's operation in this county to continue. 1 QmaAt-Cuts go/t QAiomen by Maggie Your LITTLE GIRL'S HAIR may be easy or difficult to care for, but you should always give it good care. Brushing is a good habit she can start doing herself when she's 3. At school age, you may want to set her hair on rollers occasionally, or give her a child's home permament. But young hair should really be left on its own. Most has some natural curl, and just needs a good shaping at the beauty parlor. And even straight hair looks nice in medium or short lengths. When Daddy insists on long hair, use bows, barrettes, pony tails. Her pony tail must never be tight and pull her scalp . . . and no rubber bands . . . they'll cut her hair. Try the cleaner's trick for REMOVING SPOTS when you are using water and think it'll leave a ring. Just direct a spray of water on the spot to dissolve it. Then blot off the spot and moisture with 2 cloths, one at the top and bottom. Just because summer's over, DON'T NEGLECT YOUR GARDEN. To have flowers that bloom in the spring (tralaW, you must plant now. One of the prettiest, the Iris, blossoms in every rainbow color. Be sure to plant some of the dwarf 5" kind that bloom in both spring and fall. Peonies should also be planted in September. Set roots so "eye" is no deeper than 3" under surface level. Plant where it's sunny and give lots of fertilizer in spring. You can even- have flowers for your Christmas table! Plant the Christmas rose (Helleborous niger). You'll get a beautiful bell-shaped flower that turns to a dusty pink. It's a little tricky, but if you plant where there's plenty of all-winter sun and shade in summer, you should be successful. Don't move after planting. They thrive best in evergreen planted areas. Say, try these CHEESE BISCI'ITS as a sure guestpleaser. So easy . . . and great with any meal. Just split club rolls or Parker House and brush insides with melted butter or margarine. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Rake in pre-heated 400' oven about 12 minutes (until golden^ and cheese is melted). i Watch for Maggie every week! i FATHERS CLUB MEETS The next regular meeting of the Marian Central Fathers club will be held Tuesday, Sept. 22, at 8 p.m. at Marian school. Refreshments be served. ^ America At Play Is Big Business In Resort Areas Through Nation One of the nation's biggest businesses is recreation -- or America at play. This is of special interest to us in our summer resort area. Figures from government and private sources indicate that the American public is now spending upwards of $40 billion a year on a wide diversity of sports and recreational activities, from the stay-at-home variety to the great outdoors. The sum, which includes many tax dollars, is more than a tenth of the entire consumer spending dollar. Only a few classifications of personal consumption expenditures match or exceed this total, food, shelter and transportation. The nation's entire bill for clothing and shoes is $10 billion smaller than the amount spent on recreational pursuits. Even the automobile industry, establishing new records each year, lists only a $22 billion total for sales of cars and parts last year. Not all of the expenditures for recreation are spent on active sports and games. Quite a sizable amount represents the quiet, inactive type of diversion -- television, curled up with a book at home or going to the movies. Even so, a large part falls into the energetic forms of recreation. Race track attendance now runs to more than 60 million annually and baseball spectators number over 30 million during the season. In all, admissions to spectator amusements add up to $2 billion a year. Boating, the No. 1 family participation sport, costs its 40 million enthusiasts around $2 billion a year. The more than' 30 million fresh and salt water fishermen spend about $3 billion a year. There are 30 million bowlers and 20 million hunters with their outlays placed at a billion dollars a year in each case. Gardening, which is doubtfully listed as recreation, ranks as a $2 billion a year nerve soother. Vacationers, who spend an amount that is variously estimated at $20 to $25 billion a year, visit many of the federal, state and local parks and recreational areas -- 234 million acres in the country. At the same time that recreation helps the economy and the well being of the person, it also aids the government tills, because a part of what is spent represents many tax dollars. WITNESSES TO CONVENE THIS FALL IN GENEVA "The recent political conventions were quite different from the convention of Jehovah's Witnesses that will be held Jn Geneva the weekend of Oct. 2 to 4." is the claim of Dominick Fontana, presiding minister of Jehovah's Witnesses from the McHenry area, made in an interview this week. w'hiie San Francisco and Atlantic City saw considerable wrangling and a wide range of (pinions on who should lead whom and in which direction the parties should go, Jehovah's Witnesses' convention will be marked by a unified praise of Jehovah God as leader and a re-dedication of each minister present to the direction laid out in the Bible," Fontana said. "We wholeheartedly agree with Peter and the other apostles who said 'We must obey God as ruled rather than men.' Taking any other course would be displeasing to Jehovah God." Fontana said that the program will sta?t on Friday evening, Oct. 2, and continue through Sunday evening, Oct. 4. A highlight of the convention will be the first local showing of a two-hour technicolor film, "Proclaiming 'Everlasting Good News' Around the World" Saturday evening at 6:55. Sunday at 3 p.m. Angelo A. Catanzaro, district minister for 200 midwest congregations, will deliver the public address, "Our Divided World-- Is It Here to Stay?" "We'd like to stress," Fontana added, "that everyone is always welcome at the conventions of Jehovah's Witnesses, that all sessions are tree and no collections are ever taken. When Jesus sent his apostles out to preach he told them, 'You received free, trive free.' " BIRD CLUB WILL MAKE TOUR OF BULL VALLEY The next meeting of the McHenry County Bird club will be Saturday, Sept. 19, in the Bull Valley area. All Interested birders Will meet at 9 a.m. sharp at the Kenneth V. Fiske Cold Springs schoolhouse on Bull Valley road. They will hike down the lane to "Spring Hollow," the Richard Babcocks' woods. At this time of the year the fall migration is at its peak. Many species of birds will be in evidence, with the warblers offering a real challenge for identification. A year and a half ago a total of sixty species was identified in this same area. Advance scouts will be dispatched to determine just which areas of the "Spring Hollow" woods and surrounding meadows will be the most profitable to visit. Coffee and rolls will be served by Mrs. Kenneth Fiske arid Mrs. James Hecht. Discuss Campaign Issues Don Peasley Photo Dr. and Mrs. Lee Gladstone of McHenry entertained earlier this month at an open house where friends from McHenry, Crystal Lake and Woodstock joined them in discussion of national and local campaign issues with John Kimball, Democratic candidate for Congress from the 12th district.
