\ 0 i sa GRANDMA SEZ ••• MR. AND MRS. JOHN G. MEEHAN MARRIED RECENTLY -- A candlelight ceremony performed on the evening of July 22 at the Congregational Iniversalist church in Woodstock united in marriage Bonnie Lee Ann Jones and John G. Meehan, Jr. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond P. Schiller of 905 N. Draper road, McHenry, and the bridegroom, well known in this community, is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John G. Meehan of Jacksonville, Fla. The newlyweds are now residing at 1004 Ringwood road, Pis- takee Highlands. Since the beginnin' o* time, man's ego has needed nurtur- in\ In the past few years, since women hev been a wearin' the pants in public, that ego, which made him what he wuz.has suf­ fered so severely, thet it seems ter me he has had t' take dras­ tic steps t' make himself no- ' ticed. Women hev tried t' make such sissies o' men, thet they* re actually afraid o' them. I know a few real males, who refuse t' be ordered about by the woman. In every case they demand and get the respect o' the family, and give the orders. This is the way it should be, seasoned wi' a goodly amount o' love fer their woman and the younguns. It grieves this old heart t' hev the kids treat the father o' the family wi' the same camaradie attitude they use on their friends. Fathers should be treated as the head o' the household, an' not jist the guy thet brings the pay-check home; repairs the gadgets thet git out o' fix; along wi' the family car, and the play-toys that the kids leave out in the yard. Seems like men hev changed in their attitude. The demands 're made by the County College Choir Openings Are Announced Community residents are welcome to join the McHenry County college choral organ­ ization, announced the organ­ ization's president, Miss Emma Fritz. Openings are available for fall semester, beginning Sept. 8. The choir, conducted by Dr. Marie Ann Voss, meets on Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m. The first rehearsals will be in preparation for the fall concert which will be composed of set­ tings of poems by Robert Frost arranged by Randall Thompson, selections from Elijah by Men­ delssohn, and other works. Persons interested in joining the college choir or seeking in­ formation about choral activ­ ities should call the college. The choir welcomes all inquir­ ies. Harry Muellers Welcome Baby Mr. and Mrs. Harry 0. Muel­ ler of 2208 W. Manor, McHenry welcomed their first child, a son, into their home on Aug. 12. The little boy, who now weighs 10 lbs. llozs., was born June 22. He has been named Harry Otto, II, by his new parents. Although his parents were unaware of the fact until the little fellow entered their home, he was born on Mrs. Mueller's birthday. Proud paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Otto Muel­ ler of McHenry Shores. The ma­ ternal grandparents are Law­ rence Rudolph of McHenry and Margaret Swance of Chicago. Family Reunion At Smith Home A family reunion was held at the home of Mrs. Jack Smith, 3804 W. Maple street, McHenry, recently. Dinner and an eve­ ning cook-out supper were en­ joyed. Among those attending the re­ union were Mr. and Mrs. Rob­ ert Afeld and children of Mc­ Henry, Mr. and Mrs. E.G. Hag- land of Island Lake, Mrs. Vin­ cent Knorst of Milwaukee, is., Mr. and Mrs. Bert Olson of Evanston, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Huemann of Johnsburg and Mr. and Mrs. Roy Olsen and sons of Tulsa, Okla. RESIDENCE CHANGES Mr. and Mrs. Bill Hay have moved from McHenry to 4326 9th street N. St. Petersburg, Fla. The long time local res- ; idents say they are enjoying their new home. CIETY PG. 2 - PIAINDEALER - WED. AUGUST 20, 1969 Local Leaders Work On "Jubflee Bee" For Home little woman, and he better pro­ duce 'r else. I like t' see "Papa," 4n the driver's seat, in every respect. Women would be a lot happier, an' I know. Women are like children in many respects. They like t' feel that they're taken care o*, by their man. They'll take ad­ vantage whenever they git the chance, an' use their wiles t' git their own way. The sad part o* it all is thet the men hev given in, and let them git away w' it. Pve watched many a wo­ man' use her man iij, ways I wouldn't be caught, t' git what she wants. If women'd git the bright idee t' boost their men, take good care o' em, and be home t' play up t' their needs, when they come home all tired, at night, things 'd take on a dif­ ferent aspect in this society. Women're out t' invade the big male pleasures, in the , sports world, I hear. I sure hope they mind their own bus­ iness o* bein' a woman, an' let the good guys alone. Be­ cause o' the generations o' teachin* the males t' be con­ siderate o* the females, the games wouldn't be the same. They jist wouldn't be played like men play the games. Men need t' be men, and I don't see anythin' wrong wi' throwin' the women out, sendin' them home t' look out fer the young­ uns, and mend the socks. Wo­ men kin git purty overbearin' if they're allowed to. They hev a place where they wuz intended t' serve in the scheme o* things. They jist better git back to it.

Elm St. McHenry 385-0170 l ASK TO SEE OUR ELE8ANT WEDDING INVITATIONS The newlyweds weic trans­ ported after the ceremony in an old horse-drawn carriage. A reception for 500 guests was held at the Johnsburg Com­ munity clubhouse, after which the couple left on a honeymoon trip to Florida and the Islands. The newlyweds will make their home in McHenry. Ladies' Prepare For Display At Bretzman Home When you talk with Mrs. Wil­ liam M. Kelly, chairman of the ' Weeders" (workers in dried weeds, flowers and leaves) you end with youc. head spinning with all kinds of names both familiar and unfamiliar. When you actually look at the beautiful. materials you real­ ize that you have seen most of them in your own yard, field, or on the roadside - all free for the picking! The trick comes in knowing when they are right to be picked, when the color is best, which texture is best to work with and which forms will make the most artistic showing. Edith Kelly knows all this after years of study, trial and error. Her group attests to the fact that she is a splendid "teacher". For many years she had been a lecturer and de­ signer and really knows her field. All of the work of this group will be for sale only on Holiday Hospitality Day, Wed­ nesday, Oct. 1, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the John Bretz­ man home (open for the tour that day). The Woman's aux­ iliary of Memorial Hospital for McHenry County donates the day's income toward the hos­ pital building fund and purchase of new equipment. The finished table arrange­ ments are always eagerly sought. One is made of two dried artichoke flowers, brown and green dock andglycerined mag­ nolia leaves. It stands about 15 inches high. Another rather startling arrangement is a large single flower in a pot. The petals are of the Florida holly leaf and are centered with "pussy toes" (so named because they look like the pad of a cat!) Another odd display will be a whole table of black and white arrangements especially made to complement Mrs. Bretzman's dining room which has black and white accessor­ ies. The Flower Bar - new this year - will have flowers of "jingle' shells, treated to look like porcelain and will be ar­ ranged as porcelain flowers would be. There will be Lac- a-lily flowers made of milk weed pods. Flowers from the red bud pods (their ' wings' intact) will be centered with parsnip pods. The large flow­ ers soon take over, one special group having lemon leaf petals, centered with a thistle bud and softly antiqued with gold. The bright Tahitian tuber flowers, made of dried sweet potato slices, will be in abundance. No one not in ' the know" would guess their origin. Com husk roses and corn leaf loops in dif­ ferent colors will form aback- ground for the many flowers on sale. Some of the much sought after items are the branches and leaves that have been put in a glycerin solution until they are just the right consistency. These will include the witch hazel, euonymus, oleander leaves and many other varieties. The " Whimsey Corner' con­ tains a duck of dried yellow summer squash standing a- gainst a piddock pine pitted by clams in Florida and having very small baby cattails for a background. Mrs. Kelly says everyone notices the full grown cattails but fails to see the early, lovely small ones. The whole arrangement stands on a wooden slab, bark intact. Big eyed bugs of natural color ma­ terials and swaying on long metal stems could outstare any­ one with a good sense of humor. The crested cranes, made of unicorn pods and having crests of swamp grass stand 7 inches high and when placed on a large stone are splendid small re­ productions of these birds. Snow flakes for the Christ­ mas tree are Queen Anne's lace and wild parsnip seed heads. All the flakes are finished in gold, white or silver touched with glitter. They are on strings ready to hang and are packaged in groups. The "Exotics" for abstract arrangers include century plant pods from Arizona, clip­ ped palm fronds from Florida, Green equisetum angles, tor­ tured poppy stems and black sprayed pine cone sprays from Colorado. The ' ear tree' pods, rattle and all, have been wired to stems and make a soft ac­ companiment to the breeze. All kinds of containers will be available including the much sought after green or brown electric insulators and the equisetum (horsetail) covered jars. MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, WOODSTOCK Mr. and Mrs. Ronald E. Cal­ lahan, Sr., are parents of a son, Jeffrey Allan, born Aug. 10. He weighed 4 lbs., § ozs., and has a brother, Ronald E. Cal­ lahan, Jr., age 3.
