PAGE 2-ftAfNDEALER-WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1972 Spring Luncheon Dattf Set By Lakeland Club The Lakeland Park Women's club meeting Thursday, March 2, was a beehive of activity, as the ladies on the various committees began to finalize plans for the annual spring luncheon and card party to be held Wednesday, April 12, at St. Patrick's parish hall, 3500 W. Washington street. Serving will begin at 11:30 a.m. This spring luncheon and card party has long been a "Welcome to Spring" event, anticipated eagerly each year, and the committees feel that the 1972 spring luncheon and card party will be the best ever held.

Fine Program Set Friday By Woman's Club Some fine entertainment awaits those who attend the McHenry Woman's club regular monthly meeting Friday, March 10, at the V.F.W clubhouse. The program will feature the "Company of Two" who sing, dance and spoof their way through forty minutes of day- to-day«ituations using original sketches written by Mary- Ellen Winchell. String ac­ companiment on guitar, banjo and uke are by Nancy Thomas. The review, "Mix and Match", provides an op­ portunity for each member to sit back, relax and have a good laugh at life. When a buxom bunny from Sweden invades the privacy of a U.S. home with only one thought -- the clinical corruption of the typical American male, something or somebody is bound to run in circles. And that's exactly what happened as the "Marriage-Go^ Round" kept turning at the McHenry Country club three nights last weekend. Less boisterous than the humor of the Dinner Playhouse's first production, "Goodbye Charley", a month previous, "Marriage-Go- Round" evokes a quiet en­ joyment and increasing in­ terest rather than side-splitting type laughs. Empathy for the husband, upon whom fate both smiles and frowns, depending on the circumstances, is evident in the fast changing predicaments in which he finds himself trapped. The role of his long suffering, Boston-bred and slightly zany wife, a university dean of women, is ideally suited to the talents of Rita Weyland. Mrs. Weyland, of McHenry, is a veteran of ten years of ex­ perience with various theatrical groups in this area. Her husband, to which a label of genius has been attached by the Swedish miss, is portrayed by Ron Koules of Antioch He is particularly convincing as he deftly explains to the audience (and sometimes seemingly to himself) just how a man in his predicament does (or should) tick. One look at the blithe blonde might very well convince the audience the play is secondary, except for the fact that young Nancy DeWerdt of Wonder Lake, as Katrin, proves herself very much the promising ac­ tress as she capably handles the provocative demands of her role. A series of monologue type presentations by the husband and wife pique tbe viewers' curiosity for the scene to follow. The rather naughty theme of "Marriage-Go-Round", in the light of this quite clinical, yet not so naive pursuit by the Swedish bombshell, makes for quite on unusual paradox. From the standpoint of the play itself, this second offering of the local theatre group was more enjoyable to us than the first. It seemed to move along a bit more quickly, combining just enough of the situations one anticipated with a smat­ tering of the unexpected. The acting was superb in both. Gerald Pettera, the director, does an excellent job with these talented local thespians. They are well rehearsed, understand the roles they portray and manage to involve the entire audience in the pleasure they so obviously realize from their performances. The play runs another weekend, March 9, 10 and 12. K.A.F.

Don't trick him into thinking the medicine is candy, says Miss Pat Sullivan, McHenry county Extension adviser. Many tragedies have resulted because children helped themselves to "candy" from the medicine cabinet. Your attitude and behavior help establish your child's attitude toward medicine, perhaps for the rest of his life. Since young children's taste sense is not well developed, they are not likely to reject medicine because of its taste, Pat says. Negative reactions to medicine usually come because the child learns - from his parent or another child - that he is not supposed to like medicine. When giving medicine to children, be matter-of-fact. Instead of commenting on whether it tasts good or bad, stress the fact that it will help get rid of a cough or stomach ache or whatever the problem might be. Read the directions aloud so thgft the child understands that medicine is to be taken only at certain times. And remember to store the medicine out of the child's reach so that he cannot help hirr»«elf (3^7 C a p e s a r e p o p u l a r w i t h pants. They are about hip length or shorter. Recognition Dinner For Teaching Staff A recognition banquet honoring members of the church school teaching staff was held recently at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church, 404 North Green street, McHenry. Approximately fifty staff members and their spouses attended the annual banquet sponsored by the church to recognize the efforts and accomplishments of the men and women who serve as teachers in the church school during the year. Dr. Robert Stanell served as master of ceremonies for the event. Guest speaker for the evening was Anthony Cor­ coran, administrator of McHenry hospital, who spoke of recent changes in the health care field in a very interesting and informative way by comparing the past and the future goals of the health care field. Entertainment was provided by a men's barbershop quartet and a ladies' sextet. The food for the evening was arranged and coordinated by Mrs. John Holmgreen and Mrs. Anthony Corcoran. Mrs. Donald Teuber, superintendent of the double teaching staff at the church school, was honored in a humorous way. Elaborate decorations were provided for the evening by Mrs. Robert Peterson. White dresses can be given accents with colorful or black appliques--one on the bodice and several on the skirt. These may be of designs, flowers or animals. For the second marriage a widow may wear a short veil. \ N ) F A I.
