In addition to making students better readers, the students feel the reading labs are fun. - The following comments were made by students from McHenry Junior high school: "The materials in this class are fun to work with. The reading cards are fun and the shadowscopes are fun, too. The T-scopes are lots of fun!" Cindy Voigt - Grade 6 "I thought I was a poor reader when I came to Psychotechnics and I thought it was going to be boring. But, by the first week I had improved a lot and liked working here." Steve Borter - Grade 6 "I've learned very much from Psychotechnics. Right now I am reading 285 words a minute. I like the T-scopes best." Gary Harlow - Grade 7 "I think it's lots of fun! There are shadowscopes which are a lot of fun and filmstrips which are a blast. Reading is my favorite subject." Cheryl Douglass - Grade 7 "I like Psychotechnics because it helps me with vocabulary and to read faster." Don Bockhorst - Grade 8 "Psychotechnics has helped me a lot. Especially the spelling tests! Honestly though, the shadowscopes have helped and I have been increasing my reading speed steadily. I have enjoyed it!" Kim Kathan - Grade 8 Mrs. Marlene Guild,' who teaches the reading program at McHenry Junior high school, discloses that every student is given a "prescription". This prescription lists the materials that the student will use. Students keep their own records. Individualized study assignments deal with reading speed, comprehension skills, vocabulary usage and spelling and writing skills. Mrs. Guild feels that the reading laboratory provides the student with interesting and exciting reading experiences. LOUISA'S LETTER Dear Louisa, I am a forty year old woman with one child who is married. I have been very friendly with a man who is in his late sixties. He is well fixed as to finances and seems to be in good health. He has asked me to marry him and I am thinking of accepting him altho' my sisters are opposed to it. They say I will be taking on an old man to take care of. Now, Louisa. I am not out looking for romance but it would be nice to have an intelligent man to talk to in the evening or to have some­ one to go with me to theaters or other places in the even­ ing. What do you think of these companionship mar­ riages for lonely people9 M-Tenn. Answer: It depends a great deal on the condition of the man you are thinking of marry­ ing. Some people in their sixties are active and alert --others are ready for a rock­ ing chair and do not care about going places. Not all people continue to be romantic as they grow older and congenial com­ panionship is a very satis­ factory kind of life for such people. But you are rather young to be tying yourself down to a man so much older than you. I think I would give it some thought before I de­ finitely decided on such a marriage if 1 were vou. Louisa.

How can I prevent tar­ nishing in my stored-away silverware? A. One way is to keep a piece of alum in your -silverware drawer or box. Q. How can I remove paint spatters from my linoleum floor? A. Fingernail polish remover is fine for this. Q. How can I prevent my meringue from falling? A. By browning the meringue slowly over a low flame, then when it is almost ready to remove from the oven, 6pen the oven door so that the pie can cool gradually for about ten minutes. Then take the pie out and the meringue, if of course it has been properly prepared, should not fall. Q. What can I do about mateless hosiery? A. These various shades of hosiery can be given a common shade and matched, if boiled slowly for about fifteen minutes in enough water to cover them. Allow to cool in the pan, then rinse and hang up to dry. Q. How can I renew soiled and sticky playing cards? A. Clean them with spirits of camphor, applying sparingly, wiping each side of each card thoroughly, then polishing with a clean cotton or soft cloth. Q. How can I remedy vinegar cruets that have acquired a cloudy appearance? A. Fill them with water, add a little ammonia, let stand several hours or overnight, then rinse with clear hot water. They should emerge from this treatment clean and sparkly. Q. Please comment on the proper cleaning of an electric toaster. A. In the first place. NEVER put into water! Use a damp cloth (not wet) to wipe it off. Use a mild abrasive to take off stains or butter, but be gentle about it. The heating element cleans itself when you turn it on. A small paintbrush, kept exclusively on hand for the purpose, is handy for removing stubborn crumbs. And, lastly, for safety's sake, be sure always to allow the toaster to become cool before storing it away. Q. How can I take proper ' care of imitation leather upholstery? A. This will usually clean up nicely with mild soap and lukewarm water. Then, to KIWANIS NEWS W O N D E R L A I v E C L U B Ivan Shawvan, past president of the Belvidere Kiwanis club, introduced the guest speaker for the Nov. 8 meeting, Capt. Elizabeth Yode of the Belvidere unit of the Salvation Army. She related that for the past few years, this unit has taken care of Christmas packages for youngsters in the Woodstock Children's home, at the Wingate farm and also for the oldsters at Sunset Manor in Hartland and the Villa Rest Home at Pistakee Bay. This program was operated out of funds from the joint community chest drive in the Belvidere area. This year their share has been reduced nationally. The Salvation Army would like to continue this service but needs outside help. With this in mind, Mr. Shawvan has arranged presentations to all the service clubs in the area. Wonder Lake Kiwanis club voted to help participate. Last week, Lt. Gov. Bob Hickman made his first official visit The club voted ap propriations from the Peanut fund for the Woodstock Children's home, the therap„ center and continuing aid to the Wonder Lake Women's club in helping to underwrite the Red Cross swimming program as well as to the Boy Scouts to assist them in buying new camping equipment. Speaker for the next meeting will be Robert Lambourn of the Pioneer workshop. prevent cracking or peeling, follow the washing with a thin coating of petroleum jelly. Q. How can I improve the appearance of black suede shoes? A. These will often earn a new lease on life when sponged off with some black coffee. Q. What can I do about cups that are discolored either by tea or by coffee? A. After wetting the cups, dip a damp cloth into salt, and rub the stains away with this. Q. How can I clean plaster-of- paris statuary? A. Smear a thick paste of laundry starch and water over every part, allow this to dry thoroughly, then brush off the dry stuff. Q. How can I clean zinc? A. Rub the zinc off with a cloth moistened with kerosene. PROTECT ROSES Taking extra time now to prepare your rose plants for winter will give you a prettier garden next summer. The University of Illinois says roses need fall mulching to protect the plants' tender crowns from varying tem­ peratures. Delay fall mulching until the plants are frosted.^ Any material that protects the crown is satisfactory but garden soil frequently is used. Mound the soil 8 to 10 inches over the crown of each plant, leaving the branches sticking out. Extra soil from a nearby garden will insure good protection. Cut the plants back to 15 to 18 inches to prevent the wind from whipping the plants and loosening the root system. Remove the soil in early spring as soon as the danger of severe frost is past. Rose cones are an excellent winter protector for roses. Cut the rose to where it will fit under the cone. Tie the bran­ ches together if you have to so they will fit under the cone. Weight the cone down with several bricks. Cover the bottom of the cone with soil until all air spaces under the cone are sealed. It is best to remove all leaves from the rose plant before you cover it with the rose cone. Tree roses require special wrapping to protect them from winter kill. The University of Illinois advises wrapping the graft and lower portion of the branches with straw and burlap. If temperatures drop to more than 10 degrees below zero, bury the entire plant to provide protection. Large plants may have to be up-rootec on one side and laid against the ground and buried. ft FIRST SNOWMAN -- The first Snowman of the 1971 fall season in McHenry may very well have been made by these third graders at Valley View school, who are shown above proudly displaying their creation to Principal Cris Elliott, behind the camera. From left, they are Richard Jensen, Dawn Meyer, John Damiano, Ricky Scarbrough, Cecil Williams, Sandy Boelter, LuAnn Kronke, Mary Langdon, Scott O'Haileran, Diana Keller, Heather Ingersol, Lynn Mullins (partially hidden), Butch Sanchez and Robert Gerambio. These youngsters are pupils in Mrs. Kyle's room. WINTERIZE YOUR HOME If you want to save dollars, then winterize your home. You'll also enjoy greater comfort. 1 The first thing is to weatherstrip around all win­ dows and doors. Cold air leakage can cause 15 percent of your heating bill. 2. Install storm doors and storm windows or insulating glass. This will stop many ^of the drafts in a home. 3. Install overhead and sidewall insulation if it is needed. 4. Maintain an efficient neating system. Routine ser­ vicing each season is im­ portant. Replace air filters every time they become loaded with dust or lint. HEALTH AND BEAUTY Most mothers have been faced with the problem of when to call a physician for a consultation about a sick child. Most think twice about calling the family doctor at 3 a. m. Doctors urge that a phy­ sician be called whenever a child's tempreature is ex­ ceedingly high. In addition, a headache that has presist- e d f o r m o r e t h a n t w e l v e hours, an extreme loss of appetite and a cold or cough that has presisted for three days all merit a physician's attention. A physician should be consulted when a child has unusual pain in any part of the body, sudden and unus­ ual loss of bladder control, persistent vomiting and indications of intestinal bleeding. Immediate medical atten­ tion is imparative for an ear­ ache and indications of a 5. Close window draperies at night. A closed drapery will reduce the radiation heat loss of people sitting near a window to improve their thermal comfort appreciably. 6. Prevent attic air leakage. Warm air rises and will flow into an attic if there are any openings through which it can do so. BABER BUICK'S CLEAN ONE-OWNER USED CARS DRIVE TO FOX LAKE! SAVE A WEEK'S PAY! N t ) . . ? < > * > .
