PG. 8 - PLAINDEALER - FRI. OCTOBER 24, 1969 QVlcGullom cJ?a(ce EVE LEVESQUE 385-0941 FORMER SCRIBE COAXED OUT OF HIBERNATION Hello out there in Readers- ville, from shore to shore and all over the world. Been quite some time since we last kick­ ed the news around, so it's a- bout time for one more col­ umn, at least. The job is wide open and can be had by con­ tacting this reporter or the Plaindeaier. "Muy gracias" to those great gals in the front office of the PiairxJealer who have put up with me during a very neces­ sary absence. And sincere thanks and appreciation to Bon­ nie Morris who had no prev­ ious experience with journal- i sm and found she could turn a neat phrase with aplomb. We sure wish she had kept at the >ob but with a house full of active little boys and the pres­ sures of maintaining a family, the chores conflicted. She cer­ tainly is to be commended for her months of pounding the keys. A story that had to be writ­ ten is what coaxed me out of hibernation. What else, but the marriage of a fine young man who is much much more than the son of wonderful friends. \S"hen handsome Don Nelson married beautiful Cynthia Ir- vin of McHenry, the story had to be told. The formal announce­ ment appeared in last Friday's edition of the Plaindeaier. HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS WED OCT. 11 Red tressed, petite ana love­ ly Miss Cynthia Irvin was pret­ ty as a picture on her fath­ er's arm as she came down the aisle of Nativity Ltrtheran church, Saturday, Oct. 11, to meet her bridegroom, Donald 0. Nelson, at the altar. She is the daughter of Bonnie and Ri­ ley Irvin, 812 W. Route 120, Mc Henry, and the local groom* s parents are El ma and Earl Nel­ son, McCullom Lake road. Brunette and picturesque in yellow was Wendy Irvin as she played the role of maid of hon­ or for her sister. Don's broth­ er, Dr. Ken Nelson, Chicago, served as best man. It was a beautiful fall wedding utilizing the colors of yellow and white. Most thrilling for both fam­ ilies was the attendance of the Battle Creek, Mich., relatives and the appearance of First Lt. James Irvin, UJS. Army, who ushered for his sister. Doctors Cliff and Don Nelson and their charming wives-- Gladys and Marleen--plus pro­ geny, were on deck for the nup­ tials. Grandma Elsie and Grandpa Clayton Nelson who de­ parted our shores some years back for Michigan were also present for the orchid occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Don Nelson postponed their wedding trip to a later date and are residing in Wonder Lake. Wedding recep­ tion story follows. POST NUPTIAL RECEPTION FOR NEWLYWEDS Garbed in pretty party frocks and suits, persons from all over the area gathered last Saturday night to welcome newlywedded couple, Mr. and Mrs. Donald (Cynthia) Nelson. The assembly consisted of about 100 guests which included relatives and friends. The catered food was superb and we understand many local gals are watching their cal­ ories this week because of over­ indulgence. In addition to the many who paid homage were May da and Gene Shigley. Mrs. Shigley was one of the first to hold Don after his entry into Flowering Shrub Sale FIELD FRESH!

Mr. and Mrs. Don Parenti added to the festivity-- especially Lois, in her mocha chiffon gown which extracted high praises. Ed Car or was official judge in a most unusual contest be­ tween his beautiful wife, Bar­ bara, and Mrs. James (Sandy) Conway. Cynthia and Don, who can at­ tribute their romance to the campus of Mc Henry high school, have a lot going for them and we wish them ever> happiness. HAPPY NEWS FROM ABROAD HUMBLE APOLOGIES That particular caption was not meant as a pun, but we did have exciting news from our daughter, Chrys, from Europe. And equally happy news from Corporal Jeff from Vietnam, hence the headlines. Lt. Chrys, U.S.A.F. came home the end of September and we had six delightful days with her, after completion of her studies at Goodfellow A.F.B., Texas. She left Oct. 1 and wended her way through Europe, renewing friendships she had secured when she was a student in France during her junior year in college. She reported to her duty sta­ tion on the island of Crete, south of the coast of Greece, Oct. 15. En route, from Ath­ ens to Iraklion, she "rode a bus through the most rugged and picturesque country I've ever seen. We even had to stop the bus once so that a little black mama goat could finish feeding her little black baby goat and get off the road." Chrys is happily established at her new location and for those who would care to correspond, the current address for the next 18 months is -- Lt. Chrys Levesque -- Box 805 -- 6931st Security Group -- APO New York, 09291. The ecstatic news for us from Vietnam reveals that son, Cor­ poral Jeff, has had 33 days lobbed off his time in the east and is due to arrive home in plenty of time for Christmas. We had planned to delay that most important holiday but it will not be necessary. He de­ parts from the far east, Dec. 7 and just might make it home for Dee Dee's birthday, Dec. 14. A LITTLE DISA 'N* DATA So many have inquired as to the physical improvement of Mrs. Theresa Schultz. Would you believe, she is doing fab­ ulously! Originally, she became ill Dec. 26, 1968. Had brain surgery and a carotid endar- tectomy (not necessarily in that order), was recovering beauti­ fully and was a victim of a stroke in March. Recovery pro­ gressed and then she fell and suffered a broken hip this past summer. Recovery was very good. She is walking with a "bird cage" but with super­ vision, doesn't even need that. humble apologiest- Toall the exciting news e- vents which have transpired in local families but we must ad­ mit to having lost touch with the local scene.

REVOKE POSTAL PRIVILEGES FOR MAILING ABUSE The Post Office department last week revoked the post of­ fice box privileges erf eight dealers in sexually-oriented materials. U.S. Rep. Robert McClory (R.-Lake Bluff) re­ ported that the action was taken under the administrative au­ thority of Postmaster General, Winton M. Blount, to deny the use of rental boxes to individ­ uals who use them for immoral or improper purposes as de­ termined by the Department's „ General Counsel. Five of the affected firms have been using rental boxes in California post offices and mailing sexually-oriented ma­ terials throughout the United States. They are: Collectors Publications, City of Industry; John Amslow & Associates, Culver City; G & M Enter­ prises, Hollywood; Athens West and Athena Books, both of Los Angeles. The remaining boxes which were ordered closed in­ clude those rented by Central Sales, Baltimore, Md.; Mar­ ion John Shiflet, Detroit, Mich.; and Superb Sales, York, Pa. Each of the dealers has been either arrested or indicted on charges of violating Federal or state pornography statutes. Rep. McClory is a member of the House Judiciary com­ mittee which is currently hold­ ing hearings on proposed legis­ lation designed to toughen fed­ eral criminal laws on pornog­ raphy and to improve post of­ fice rules relating to the mail­ ing of sexually provocative ma­ terials. w HI [ * . 1 " - •J n jL •1 ||B Pearce Konold, Robert Campbell, Mrs. Shirley Campbell, Mrs. Winifred Clau­ sen, Mrs. Loretta Ramage, Mrs. Marian Krelmier, Phil­ lip Mowrer, and Mrs. Nancy OPEN BETHEL BIBLE SERIES AT CITY CHURCH Ervin Staveteig shown above, will be the first teacher in the congregational phase, of the Bethel Bible series to begin at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church, 404 North Green street, McHenry, on Oct. 29 at 8:30 p.m. Hie Bethel Bible series is an interdenominational six- semester course designed to give an overview of the Bible in a two-year period. The course was written by Pastor Harley Swiggum of Bethel Lutheran church, Madison, Wis., and is used internationally. In addition to study materials, lectures and discussion periods, the course includes artistic draw­ ings designed to help the stu­ dent coordinate and recall the main thoughts in each lesson. As a prerequisite for a con­ gregation's involvement in the Bethel Bible series, the pastor of a participating congregation must attend an intensive two- week training program at Mad­ ison, taught by the author of the course. The pastor, in turn, trains a class of ten teachers from within the congregation for a period of two years, after which they are assigned their own classes within the congre­ gation, according to Pastor Roger Schneider. Over 20,000 teachers have been trained within the United States to lead in the congregational phase of the program. Shepherd of the Hills Luth­ eran church is currently com­ pleting the teacher training phase of the series and will now begin the congregational phase with the following thirty students in the first class: Mrs. Stella Rortvet, James Boelens, Mrs. Mary Jane Boelens, Mrs. Melody Engelbrecht, Mrs. Mir­ iam Miller, Dr. William E. Kohl, Mrs. Ingrid Schubert, Robert Petersen, Mrs. Pat Pet­ ersen, Mrs. La Verne Hromec, Larry Richardson, Mrs. Gayle Richardson, Mrs. Loraine Hagemann, Joseph Karls, Mrs. Virginia Karls, Mrs. Candace Benjamin, Mrs. Susan Kagel, Mrs. Ruth Kagel, William Smock, Mrs. Julia Smock, Mrs. Trudy Poirier, Dr. Carl A sizable waiting list has been established tor future Bethel classes in the parish.
