S&r&w Fnroitnff STORE.INC. PAGE 12, SECTION 1 - MCHENRY PLAINDEALER - DECEMBER 15, 1966 u . , 0 M ~ CORNERSTONE Musin & Meandenn LAYING RITE AT McHENRY CHURCH (Continued from Page 1) and nearby subdivisions, one can't help but wonder whether they can be kept safe from the destructive tendencies of a few of our youth. Some folks resent any reference to such action, evidently believing that citing the good deeds of the many youngsters in our midst will counteract the vandalism of the few." It just isn't so. Most people d*re aware that these misdeeds are the work of a limited number, but it's only necessary to look at the sheriff's log of activities in our own area to realize that lack of regard for other people's property ' must be regarded as an alarming activity. Halloween, always a season for pranks, formerly was forgotten when the day-after clean-up was accomplished. This year'the wholesale defacing of speed signs on almost every road in the community remains long after any trace of the season remains. Cold weather has a way of making for an improved situation at Christmas time, along with the fact that even the young have more important things to occupy their minds. Let's hope this holiday will find sufficient spirit of the season to permit the generous-hearted to safely display their talents for the rest of us to enjoy. The spirit of the season is truly abounding, and as it should be, it reaches its height in the hearts of the very young. Teacher Bonnie Campion, in discussing hurricanes with her third grade. Hilltop class, asked if anyone could tell her why we don't have these destructive storms in Mc- Ilenry. One little girl quickly raised her hand and responded, "Because it's such a nice friendly little town". And she probably would like to have added a P.S. to the effect that Santa's forthcominc arrival would have assured any hurricane remaining in some remote area. We doubt if anything will give us more pleasure over the holidays than reading a small book given to us by another dog lover, Dorothy Hollander. Called The Dogs Scrap Book, it is published at 100 East Ohio street, Chicago, a non-profit, charitable organization that uses the dollar and six cents it costs to help all the stray Rovers that need help. It includes the famous "Eulogy on the Dog" delivered by the late U.S. Senator Vest of Missouri, as well as many other appealing pictures and stories. Long time friends have a way of leaving us too quickly as time speeds on. It hardly seems possible that it was nineteen years ago since we counted among our good neighbors Fred Nickels, who died this week. We have pleasant memories during our growing-up years of a friendly man. with good disposition, who had an art too many of us have lost -- taking the time to enjoy the little, every-day pleasures of life. PRE8ENT PROGRAM The Senior Youth Fellowship will present a Christmas program. "The Nativity," at the Community Methodist church at 8:30 p.m. Sunday. Dec. 18. The public is invited to attend.

Family Pet Fire Casualty (Continued From Page 1) Justen, the flames were confined to the kitchen and bathroom area because of the excellent insulation. At no time, did the fire penetrate the roof. Company 1 of McHenry and Company 2 of Johnsburg, with four pieces oi equipment, responded to the call. One of the firemen, found the animal, which died from asphyxiation, wrapped him in a blanket and brought him out so the children would not be disturbed. Sgt. Ken Loesch and Officer Tom Bateman of the McCullom Lake police department <-;ave assistance to the firemen. Mr. Thacker and his three children, Bruce, Roger and Cheryl, had left the premises about forty-five minutes before the fire, to meet Mrs. Thacker in the city, where she was working at the hospital. They did some shopping and returned to find their home in ruins. Preparations for Christmas had been made, and parcels wrapped for mailing and giving were part of the destruction. The family has taken refuge in a completely furnished home next door, owned by the Stitch brothers of Chicago, who use it for a summer retreat.
