FEB. 28, 1969 Musin' & MeanderirT (Continued from page 1) board, relatives came to our aid fSst fall with a temporary, light-weight plastic that has stood the fest of several months' usej The bags were given away by a Chamber of Commerce in a city about McHenry's size, and carried a few well chosen words about contributing to the beauty of that particular community and state. We have thought often that in an age of wholesale littering, here is an ideal inexpensive "gift" that hopefully brings about some cooperation toward a cleaner countryside and also promotes a sponsoring organization. The thought"has come to mind particularly in the days since the heavy snow and ice started to melt, revealing bags, boxes and stray individual items, ranging from the very common beer cans to almost any type of, trash one could think of. We arc now reminded that a new kind of iitterbug is adding to our environmental problems. He is the fellow who throws away old cars along with his cans and chewing gum wrappers. In these days of affluence, people who are tired of their worn out cars merely walk off and leave them. It isn't necessary to travel too far to see them in great numbers. Recent rides have taken us to the lake region of Lake county and southeastern Wisconsin, which seem to have a priority on this kind of Iitterbug. It is easy to imagine what problems officials of larger communities are having. For instance, in New York city, cars are now being abandoned in record number, -- 30,000.in 1968 alone. In Detroit this year 16,000 drivers left their autos and an estimated 20,000 are abandoned each year in Philadelphia. They' re an eyesore and health hazard, and the cost of disposing of such cars is a burden to taxpayers. When junk prices are down, rusting autos pile up in junk yards, but the cost of projects to get rid of the vehicles are said to be excessive. There seems no limit to.the capacity of the Iitterbug to destroy the beauty of the countryside. JDr. John R. Tambone, president of the McHenry County Heart association, reminds that February--Heart month-- is coming to a close. In asking financial support for a program of continued research, he reminds us of grim facts which give the national average of deaths due to heart diseases as 54.3 percent and in McHenry county 57.2 percent. Usually boring statistics in this case are more frightening than tiresome. Since 1949, more than $145 million has been channeled into research, with some amazing accomplishments, but there is still much to be done. K.A.F.

The people are served best when they have choices to make and when the men and women to be chosen are well-qualified for the positions they seek," she continued. Mrs. Meyer, with the help of Mrs. Alfred Konger and Mrs. Frank Kratky, plans to keep her study group active throughout the convention. They plan to serve as an information center for factual information and progress reports on preparations for the convention, and are now studying ways to inform the public. Anyone interested in these workshops is invited to contact Mrs. Meyer. School Filing Date Opens (Continued from page 1) yan will seek a seat on the board.

Secretary of the Board Duane Button stated that petitions are available at the school office. year ,J Well, here's a suggestion that's bound to surprise mother almost. as much as you. Give mother a new bedding set consisting of an innerspring .mattress and box springs. This practice is already arj established custom in Puerto Rico and it seems sure to spread. Whether the mother you are interested in is a young one with a bevy of little ones or a veteran who has seen her family grow up, the bed she sleeps in can have a vital effect on her well-being. Even a relatively new bed can be a sleep robber if it is too small. Ideally, each person should have 39 inches of width to sleep in, and a length that gives at least 9 inches of head and toe space. A king-size bed fills this bill to perfection. A king-size bed will fit in the average master bedroom in a house or apartment. If £ king just won't fit, all is not lost. A queeji-size b£d measuring 60 by 80 mce's'will fit in practically anj®edroom that will hold a double bed, and give 20 per cent more space for .sleeping. Of course, mother may have been sleeping on the same old box springs and mattress foils, 25 or even 35 years. It has just gotten to be part of her life, and it never occurs.to her that her worn-out bedding may be the source of the nagging backache she attributes half-laughingly to old age. Maybe you won't be able to surprise mother on her day with something wrapped up on the breakfast table. You may have to take her into your confidence and take her shopping for her innerspring mattress and box springs. You'll get a kick out of this as you watch her eyes widen at an array of colorful and luxurious bed sets guaranteed to capture any feminine heart.

A N TI - POL LUTION BIL L Congressman McClory has introduced HR-7011 entitled "A Bill to Remove Pollutional Wastes from the Lake Michigan Water Shed." The McClory measure is an Outgrowth of a recent meeting in Lake Forest of state legislators, representatives of the North Shore Sanitary district and federal and state water pollution control officials. The McClory bill would appropriate $25 million of federal funds to defray the federal share of diverting treated wastes of the North Shore Sanitary district from Lake Michigan to the north branch of the Chicago river and the Des- Plaines river. The federal bill would supplement the $35 million bond issue voted recently by the residents of the Lake county to accomplish these pollutional control objectives.

All-leather jackets and skirt suits -- or suits of leather teamed with silk or wool -- follow fashion's softer feeling.

The short "safari" or Norfolk- jacketed ipantsuit or a Western style/suit combining bell-bottomea trousers and stud-crosed jackets are among the choices. With the waistline's return, leather dresses have acquired a new image. No longer simply A-line shapes, new dresses offer pretty choices. On some, a leather sash (fringed, beaded, in a second color) becomes a smart note. Others, more simply belted, show gently flared or gathered skirts as well as A-lines. When unbelted, daytime leather dresses are often jumper types, suitable for wearing with or without'a. "blouse". For late day and later are leather gowrys and ensembles, long or short. They may be deeply slit at the side or front, yoked or belted with gems, or decked out with leathers or passementerie.

This dictionary definition of the word "eclectic" sums up the most prevalent trend in home fashion today! A simpler, more familiar way of saying the same thing is, "mixing styles." In today's homes furnishings traditional or contemporary, from many .eras and areas, live together compatibly, bringing beauty and comfort to the home -- and giving the homemaker more scope in planning and arranging home decor. The elegance of the traditionalis married to the clean, airy look of the contemporary, with results that are both pleasing to the eye and beneficial to living ease. The Mediterranean mood, with its feeling of richness and a touch of the ornate, is right at home with the linear look of modern furnishings.

Man-made fibers, in carpeting particularly, certainly offer modern ease, yet they also provide a wide range of color and pattern to lend a richness-of-yesteryear to every home. In essence, the eclectic trend adds up to what every homemaker always knew. Good taste is a personal matter, and the basic rules for decorating are only a beginning. Individuality -- and individuals-- make the difference between a neat, proper and dull decor and a home that's ready for living. of all seasons, as well as all styles, whether the furnishings are casual or formal. The family's preferences, and the family's pattern of living, are the guides to "eclectic" home decorating, which brings together many different elements into one harmonious blend, complete in its attractiveness. Evidence of this trend is seen, too, in the increasing emphasis on materials and colors, which may mix together or embody two themes in one.

Glass and metals, used in completely replacing skirts in feminine fashions? The prevalanee of pants throughout fashion collections -- pants for day, pants for evening, pants for everybody and everywhere--seems to say, "Yes." Common sense, however, says. "No." Even the most style-conscious women, who may choose a citypants costume or two, will certainly continue with skirted fashions as the mainstays of their wardrobes. Then what does fashio offer besides pants? Shirtdresses and jumpers, always basic, really come into their own now. The shirtdress offers an unending variety of colors, prints and style themes, from the crisply tailored to the prettily feminine. The jumper, in every fabric and color and in new fit and flare styles, mixes well with blouses and shirts. It goes over pants, too. Two other spring leaders are the sportswear idea of many parts that add up well and the dressier look of suit with its own blouse and or vest or dress mated with jacket or coat. For total dressing, the costume still rules.
