\ Wonder Lake Mary Jean Huff 653-9167 Girl Scout Troop Reports Tour Of Pottery Plant Girl Scout Troop 420 of Wonder Lake which is spon­ sored by the Garden Club of Wonder Lake has twenty-one girls in it this year. On Oct. 11, 1971, our troop went on a ten mile bike hike. It was fun but very tiring. Our troop also went on a tour of Haeger Pottery on Oct. 25. We saw how pottery was made. It was interesting and I think we learned a lot. Our leaders are Mrs. Pat Seaver and Mrs. Harriet Vankanegan. By Eileen Ahern, Scribe. TRADITIONAL DINNER The traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings was served at the home of Norm and Gail Williams on Thanksgiving Day. Grandma and Grandpa, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Cannon, were there and Gail's sister and family, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Forbes and daughter, Debbie. The dinner, we were told, was very, very good!

He gave a summary of his past experiences, including his employment at the East St. Louis school system during the prolonged teachers' strike. He said he chose Wonder Lake so he could continue his schooling in order to teach Aero- Dynamics at the high school level. . Robert Lam bourn, director of the Pioneer center in Mc- Cullom Lake, will be guest speaker at the Dec. 6 meeting. It was announced that the Kiwanis International ad­ ministrative theme for 1971-72 is "Unite For Progress". Major objectives are to unite adults and youth to emphasize spiritual and moral values, protect human and natural resources, improve com­ munication among all people and insure cooperative effort among Kiwanis, Circle K and Key Clubs. cookies for the evening's refreshments; also a new or good used toy or a non- perishable food item which will be distributed to needy children. CHRISTMAS COOKIES Have you started making your Christmas cookies, yet? We talked with Marie Robinson the day after Thanksgiving and that active, young at heart lady had already made over 2,000 yummy cookies which she will give as gifts to her many friends over the holidays. Reminds us of something we heard the other day, "Hap­ piness is not what you give or receive, but what you share". SUNDAY SCHOOL OUTING On Saturday, Dec. 4, the Junior Department Sunday School of the Wonder Lake Bible church will have an outing to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. The senior choir will present the cantata "Night of Miracles" in its annual can­ dlelight service on Sunday, Dec. 19. The annual watch nite service will be Friday, Dec. 31. BAKE SALE The Wonder Woods auxiliary will hold its bake and Christ­ mas sale on Dec. 4, Saturday, starting at 9 a.m. till ? The ladies have been hard at work preparing for this event and you will not be disappointed at the luscious home made goods they have to offer.

All members are invited. S* COMMENT This comment is directed only to women with five or more children.

A party for the ladies will be given by Marie Robinson, president, on Tuesday, Dec. 14 at 12 noon, in the home of her daughter, Velma Duncan, Richmond, and will provide the opportunity for plenty of girl. talk. On Thur­ sday, Dec. 16, the Young at Heart will hold their annual Christmas party at the Mill Inn. Serving starts at 12 noon. All members are invited. WATCH HAWKS PLAY It snowed the other night. After supper the kids got all bundled up and went outside for the first time this year to skid down the driveway in their boots and taste that white, fluffy stuff and try to scrape enough together for a snowball and squeal and holler with pure delight. I thought to myself - oh, if only we adults could be so enthusiastic about something - anything. The next night I found a group of people who come as close to it as Pve ever seen. We went to a Black Hawks Hockey game in Chicagb where the Hawks dame from behind, 3-1, in the third period, to tie the Montreal Canadians 3-3. The fans packed the stadium and when the Hawks came through with those last two goals, the ex­ citement in the place was probably greater than you'd find even with the Cubs bleacher bums. The crowd was brought to their feet during the game when two fights broke out and as they cheered and screamed to "Let 'em fight!", we were reminded of the days of early Christianity when the Christians were brought to the lion's den and the crowds cheered. It also reminded me of something I'd read about how if you sit in the front rows of the box seats at the stadium you can see that most hockey players are virtually toothless (they don't wear their dental bridges during the games) and when red-headed Keith Magnuson got in a few square punches at Pete Mahovlich, we sure could see why. Want a little excitement in your life? Go see a Hawk's hockey game. NEW MUSTACHE We had to give Earl Miller (who does sothe of Wonder Lake's finest carpentry work) the razzberries the other night about his new mustache. We asked his ever lovin' wife, Sonia, her reaction to the new fuzz and Earl quickly popped up with his own feelings about his "new look". Get going on that beard, Earl, and maybe they'll let you play Santa Claus next year. YMCA Candy Sale Begins The Lake Region YMCA's sixth annual World Service candy sale will begin Wed­ nesday, Dec. 1. All youth, adult, and family members are en­ couraged to participate in selling the delicious, chocolate- covered thin mints. The candy sale will continue in the entire service area until Dec. 31. The purpose of the candy sale is to provide funds for the YMCA World Service projects that are conducted in thirty-nine dif­ ferent countries. The Lake Region YMCA has set a goal of $1,200 for its share of the World Service goal of 1971. It is hoped that all par­ ticipants will gain a feeling of sharing their resources with some of the needy around the world and the knowledge that they are helping build a stronger YMCA movement for the benefit of all mankind. All candy will be checked out from the Lake Region YMCA, 95 Grant street, Crystal Lake, after youth participants return a parent agreement form. Participants may check out three cases of twelve boxes each on credit. When the candy is sold, the money should be returned to the "Y" office before any more candy may be taken. All salesmen will display YMCA identification tags while selling. Every salesman will receive one-half box of mints as free samples each time they check out candy.

The council directed that the design should incorporate the figure of an Indian with a bow and arrow and a star at one side with the word 'com­ monwealth,' the reverse, a spread eagle with the words of 'Massachusetts A.D. 1787.' Mr. Joshua Witherle was placed in charge of the mint and he struck many varieties, the rarest being that with the arrows in the right talon. The mint was abandoned in 1789 as the venture was unprofitable to the com­ monwealth. &&Mtm »-• McHENRY SAVINGS A McHenry Savings & LOAN ASSOCIATION 1209 N. Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone (815) 385-3000 Twice Told Tales FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Nov. 19, 1931) Charles Unti, with his wife and family, left on a motor trip to San Francisco, Calif., where they will visit in the home of Mrs. Unti's two brothers, where their son, Felicie, is also living and attending school. Mrs. Catherine Hettermann, forty-eight years old, wife of Henry W. Hettermann of Johnsburg, died Nov. 12. George Bohr returned home after a week's motor trip through Michigan to his old home at West Phalis, Mich., where he had not visited for forty-one years. He also went farther north to Mount Pleasant, west to Saginaw, and saw the new oil fields where new gushers are springing up almost every day. Two gushers started on the day that Mr. Bohr visited the fields, one having a capacity of 1,700 barrels and the other with a 2,700 barrel capacity per day. Mrs. .Kate Heimer of McHenry and Mr. Charles Sheldon of Grayslake were married at the home of Father Nix, Nov. 18. Monday evening the Boy Scouts of Beloit area council held a Court of Honor at the McHenry high school auditorium. Scout troops from all the area and many of the Scouts received awards. The Scout band played three numbers, they were "Tenth R h y t h m " , " A m e r i c a n Triumph", and "Loyal Spirit". Mr. Duker congratulated the Court of Honor. Miss Rita Martin entertained a party of friends at her home on Main street Saturday af­ ternoon in honor of her birthday anniversary. Games and five hundred were played. The guests were Adele Froehlich, Marguerite Johnson, Miriam Sayler, Emily Steffes, Mildred Vasey, Marie Freund and Evelyn Anderson. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Nov. 21, 1946) Residents in this area learned last weekend that higher rates for telephone service will be sought by the Illinois Bell Telephone com­ pany before the end of the year according to a report of of­ ficials. This will be the first increase in local service charges sought by the company since 1921. Every so often there is a plea from owners of pets to take some action against those who resort to the inhuman practice of poisoning dogs. This cry for action was again heard last week when several pets in the vicinity of Riverside drive died in this manner. Princess tribes will be working toward 100 club trophies for their group. A trophy is presented in January to all individuals, families or YMCA groups that sell 100 or more boxes of mints. Funeral services were held on Saturday at St. Edward's church in Chicago for Walter Knox, son of Edward Knox, well known here. An employee of the Olsen Rug company for twenty-six years and manager of the store at Diversey and Crawford avenues, Mr. Knox died of heart disease at the age of 45. Not so many months ago we heard someone remark that what McHenry needed was a sports shop. As if in answer to the request, three McHenry young men, Loren, Raymond and James Rothermel, started a sporting goods business in the quarters on Riverside drive which house the Fox River Valley Boat company. Because of the alertness of Cecil Ballowe of the McHenry Cab company the Duncan Food store and surrounding buildings located on the black top road southeast of McHenry were saved from destruction by fire. Miss Evelyn Michels became the bride of Mr. Cletus LaFontaine of Fostoria, Ohio, Nov. 12 in St. John's church with Father Clarence Thennes officiating at the service. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Nov. 27, 1961) Between $1,100 and $1,200 was stolen from the Hans Behnke tavern on Elm street sometime early Friday mor­ ning. Richard Madden, 16, was able to walk away with only minor injuries even tho his car was described by members of the sheriffs office as the most thorough job of destruction they could recall. TTie accident occurred on Ridge road in Bull Valley. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Paddock, Sr., of McHenry and Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Paddock and son, Vernon, of Wauconda returned recently from a 5,000 mile trip through the west where they visited all major attractions in a number of states. A daughter was born Nov. 14 at McHenry hospital to Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Freund, McHenry. The city's sewer project in the Millstream subdivision has begun and with favorable conditions may be completed in about two months^ The program will provide sewerage for the westerly portion of Maple avenue and the un­ developed portion of Millstream subdivision. The work is being done by the Illinois Underground Con­ struction company of Round Lake. A dinner for the benefit of the McHenry hospital will be held at the Villa D' Este, Cary, Nov. 25, with proceeds to be used to erect a portico to protect the entrance and lobby. Ann Varese is chairman of the event. „Ronald Kwak, 16, Pistakee Highlands, was struck by a car as he was walking along Rt. 12. M 1 ft Arts-Craft Showing r*o Driver's Seat O o o o n o Walking in a Phoenix, Arizona, shopping area, a teen­ age boy -came upon an automobile with a fire raging inside. Looking inside the car, he saw five young children! The teen-ager managed to pull three of the youngsters to safety. The others -- two infant boys -- died. Investigators theorized that the children had been playing with the car's cigarette lighter. They had been left unattended while their mothers shopped at a nearby department store. This is just one of many experiences each year that can be related to point up the rule, "Never leave children unat­ tended (by at least someone old enough to be trusted as a baby­ sitter) in an automobile." Bringing children along when shopping or running other errands can frequently be inconvenient, and it seems an easy solution to leave the kids in the car "just for a minute" while a few quick purchases are being made. But children get bored easily, and they are the greatest imitators in the world. From , watching you, they know how to shift gears, release brakes and turn keys, even if they are as young as two or three years. And these aren't the only dangers. Leaving children alone in a car is an open in­ vitation to kidnappers and other perverted individuals who may frequent busy shopping areas. If you also The youth, who was thrown over the auto, suffered a fractured leg and other injuries and was taken to McHenry hospital. Children at Valley View school are seen viewing arts and crafts projects completed by students of the fifth grade class. Jon Muse and Russell Campbell demonstrated a variety of ways in which articles of pottery can be made. The finished samples were shown to a group of second graders by Debbie Berry and Donna McNish. The children of the fifth grade and their teachers are very proud of their display and plan to work toward another arts and craft show later in the year. leave the keys in the car, an auto thief might not take the time to put the kids out before driving off. For you mothers who have only one child with you -- an infant who would probably be strapped in a carseat -- perhaps you think that locking the car and taking the keys with you - "just for a minute" -- leaves the child in safety. Suppose, for instance, your dashboard clock short-circuits while you're gone. This could cause some wires to overload, setting their insulation on fire. A closed car is a small place, and it wouldn't even take "just a minute" for the passenger compartment to be filled with toxic smoke. If you care anything at all for your children, there is n^ver an instance when it is necessary to leave them alone in a car. Either find a baby-sitter, drag the kids along, or don't go.
