PLAINDEALER PHOTO Astrology October 16 Gary Setting For The Fall Historical Meeting Wednesday, Nov. 19, has been selected as the date for the gen­ eral fall meeting of the McHen­ ry County Historical society.

Well, another summer is gone and fall is wi' us once more. Folks 're a gittin' ready fer winter, and a lookin' forward t' good times t'gether when most o' the time '11 be spent indoors. Good things from the gardens will be enjoyed, having* been stored away by the lady o' the house, wi' the help o'the young- uns, I hope. Many a young housekeeper and homemaker, Jias learned how t' take advantage o' the time, when nature produces a- bundantly, the things we need, t' tide us over until the next growin* season. Seems natural t' this old lady, t' make like a squirrel, 'n store things fer winter. Wi' all the available foods, all prepared, t' be bought in the stores, t' day, perhaps the need ain't so great, but there jist ain't anythin' like the homemade things, t' tickle the appetite. A nice tight box, t' hold sand, will take care o' a lot o* carrots 'n good root vegetables, when the prices git high. Freezers 're a fine invention, and if a body is diligent, and learns how t' take advantage o' havin' one, the food costs kin be cat quite a bit. A body kin, take advantage o' the special prices of food and store them away. Years ago, a nice root cel­ lar was the thing t' have. Ev- erthin' from spuds right on down the list, could be kept all win­ ter. Things 're much easier these days, and we live better than we realize. When I wuz a tike, and until I wuz grown up, we got along on canned foods, and the root vegetables all winter, which necessitateda couple o' doses o' sulpher 'n molasses to* help adjust t' the springtime. I guess we didn't realize how much we wuz a missin', compared t'the advan­ tages we hev t'day. Folks hev a way takin' things fer grant­ ed. The fall flowers 're so lovely, 'nd I sure wuz surprised t' hev a family o' cardinals en- joyin' my sunflower seeds, from the feeder. They stayed about for several days, the parents tryin' t' teach 'em how t' take care o' themselves, and yes­ terday I found them a feedin' themselves, and they suddenly quit dependin' on the parents. That is the way o' life. As we git older, the cold weather is harder t' cope wi', but I alius look forward t' the beauties of fall and the first snow o' winter, And then, springtime, will be upon us afore we know it, again.

Astrology is rapidly gaining a prominent position in Amer­ ican culture. Zodiac signs ap­ pear in fashion and home decor. Women's magazines and news­ papers publish horoscopes for beauty and fashion. Whether or not people are convinced as to the validity of astrology, they are fascinated by it. Katherine de Jersey says there is something to the sc­ ience of astrology. In her pro­ gram to be presented Oct. 16 at the Woodstock Opera House, Miss de Jersey will tell what a true horoscope is-something unique to each individual. Fac­ tors influencing an individual's chart are the year, month, day, moment and place of birth. These factors in relation to the positions of the sun, moon, stars and planets determine the course of a person's life. Miss de Jersey is a profes­ sional astrologer. She has ad­ vised thousands of clients who bring their problems to her for guidance. An astrologer can read an individual's chart and advise him as to the best ap­ proach to take in his affairs and, the best time to take that action. Miss de Jersey stres­ ses that she does not direct a client. Astrologers only ad­ vise--the individual must make decisions accordingtly. Among Missde Jersey's cli­ ents are Arthur Treacher, Mon- ique Van Vooren, and Phyllis Diller, who says, "I don't make an important move without checking with Katherine de Jer­ sey." In addition to consultation, Miss de Jersey keeps a busy lecture and TV and radio sched­ ule. She travels coast to coast, speaking before various organ­ izations. She has made more than 300 TV and radio appear­ ances. This program will be the first this year in the Creative Liv­ ing Series sponsored by the Women's Guild of the Woodstock Fine Arts association to be presented at 10 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 16, at the Woodstock Opera House. Coffee will be served prior to the program in the Green room of the Opera House at 9 a.m. Tickets will be avail­ able at the door.
