McHENRY, ILL. i Grandma Sez So many things a goin' on t'day, these times 're hard fer the most o' us, a seein' the world in distress Seems like man has wasted his talents. Respect fer God, an' Nature cain'texist in a man's mind, in, the right sense, 'Til he knows the meanin' o' respect fer the great gift o' life. Too bad, it is, that man needs boundaries t' set him df from his brother. But,since the beginnin' o' time, ifppears that he's interested in his personal possessions. Success's come t' be measured by his accumulated material wealth. We wasn't put here fer that reason, I think. If man put the emphasis on buildin' world wide brotherhood, this ol' planet *d be in better condition, every way. Man wouldn't ha' damaged the lovely pure air an' water, mo6t necessary t' existence on earth, if effort 'd been spent in bein' content wi' more o' the things pervided by nature, an' not usin' up her resources fer destructivity, an' manufacture o' cheap, wor­ thless things, that don't do anybody any good, an' add t' the pollution o' the air an' land. Folks got along, fer cen­ turies, wi'just the land, an' the animals, a moderate house t' make into a home, an' fancies came along as he discovered how t' live in more comfort, wi' less effort. Don't seem natural, t' me, an' the proof o' it is the younguns, an' their idee that they don't have t'work, a try in' t' git by wi' as little o' it as. possible. Every livin' thing on this earth works fer its existence. The great lesson o' that alone, kin start little 'uns on the right track o* reasonin'. It used t* be, that folks didn't think o' givin' up. in retirement, until the old bones refused t' go along. Nowadays, seems t' be the order o' the day, t' put men outt'pasture, jist when they've reached real, psychological maturity, which only comes wi' years o' livin'an'doin', learnin' wi'all the mistakes they make • • • in livin' all the years. The sad part is, younguns don't want t' learn from the leaders they think, 'cause they've reached the leagal age o' adulthood, they* ve suddenly become mature. We ned t* encourage their con­ fidence, an' help it grow an'blo­ ssom, but they, mostly, resent any advice, which is mostly the fault o' the parents, durin'those delicate years, when the mind is a bein' molded. Wise parents begin, soon's the tyke kin walk, teachin' the love o' God's creations, t' love Nature as a beautiful gift, t' watch a bird, or a plant grow. These huge monuments, o' cement an' steel, called cities, ha' been allowed t' develop t' the point where they house human bein's like the way we see chickens raised, these days, in coops piled high, one on t'other. It jist ain't a healthy sitiation, an' it's about time folks realize we're on the way out, 'less a better way o' life is discovered. Better, the horse an' buggy, than t' find ourselves wi' nothin' but cement about us, an' the animals didn't hurt the air, an' in the scheme o' things, they actually helped the soil. I don' s'pose we'll ever git back t' the horse drawn vehicles, but it looks like we need some transportation, fer public use, t' relieve the con­ dition -- It's too bad, that man has t' feel the hurt, afore he realizes that his methods 're wrong. I wuz blessed wi' a father, in­ terested in rearin' his childern t' appreciate an' take care o' wha t God gave us. He taught us that knowledge could be gained from a readin' the Good Book. 9eems like he didn'tTSftfcich a bad job, wi'out all the folderolls, an' luxuries. He lived t' be an old man, an? the way we see young men, a cashin' in their chips, these days,seems t' me thai the older generation had somethin' that barely exists t'day, a faith in God and Mother Nature. Grandma Radtke Musical Instruments In Historical Collection Within a three-week period the McHenry County Historical society has been offered two fine musical instruments. One is a harpsichord made by Loud & Bros., Philadelphia, with the date of 1832. It is in good con­ dition. The donor is Milford Wilke of McHenry. The other instrument is a fine piano over a hundred years old and was appraised at one time for $1,200. There is no full description at this writing. The donor is Mrs. John Dix of Chicago. Both these items will be picked up at the expense of the society. The above instruments, put on display when the new museum is opened in the old Union school later this sum­ mer, will look well with the 115 year old rosewood square piano that ws donated by Mrs. Ada Jencks of Ringwood, and the old Victor talking machine given by Mrs. Gladys Heineman from the estate of her brother, Peter Nelson, of Crystal Lake. With the old time sheet music are included copies of "Down by the Old Mill THANK YOU LESTER L SMITH Your votes were sincerely appreciated. LESTER L SMITH of Consolidated School District No. 15 Stream"and "Under the Shade of the Old Apple Tree", com­ posed in Marengo by Van Alstyne. This is the nucleus of a musical collection. The society has lacked directors from the townships of Alden and Hebron, but when election of officers and directors takes place at the annual meeting Sunday, May 7, these townships will in the future have representatives. Miss Alice Bailey of Hebron and Mrs. S.A. Unger will serve Alden township. Also, an outgoing director from Huntley will be replaced by nominee Henry Marlowe. The director from McHenry, Gary Larsen, has been in service. Since his term is up, C.B. Blackwell from McHenry is a nominee to take his place. According to the by-laws, the directors choose nominees to act as directors but they are voted on at the annual meeting by the general membership. At that time nominations will be called for from the floor, but the consent of the nominee must be obtained in advance and he or she must be a paid up member in the society. Powerful Stuff!
