X o; V -J Grandma Sez . along in the pattern o' their forebears. Now, we're a tryin' t' cope wi' the mistakes, too late t' do any thin* about the lost ones. Much o' the harm c'n be fact, until they reach an age o' reason. The action o' Congress, • givin' the vote t' the eighteen year old youth, 's one o' th® saddest things t' happen V this charged t' allowin* too much. generation. We all agree that leeway, too much freedom, loo boys take longer t' reach Modernization seems V be the strongest influence, these days, af fee tin' the standards o' livin', fer good an' also ftr not so good, it 'ppears t' this granny. There's so many facets t' the significance o' moder- nizin' life, on this ol' planet, that it takes a good man t' know what's right from what's good fer us, an' what's bad fer hqmanity. Time's the levenin' agent, but mostly ifc too late t' correct the damage done, after the years o' experimentin' wi' the affects. Much emphasis is put on the lessons, learned from history, but seems t\ me that the same mistakes 'r a bein' made, day after day, reducin' higher standards t' suit the conditions, an' demand, makin' allowances where strict rules used t' be th' order o' the day. Most o' us ha' made many mistakes, in our day, but many hain't offended the rules o' society deliberately, but t' day, seems that the rules 're a bein' adjusted t' suit the times. That ain't a goin't' breed anythin' but trouble fer the future generations, ye c'n bet. It's taken a long time, fer things t' come t' sich a sorry pass, where so many young folks 're out o' control. In all my years, I ne'er knew so many saddened parents, an' I, like many others, who've lived quite awhile, ha' watched it ... happen, a knowhf^lTTfieTime, tdftyr few demands on the younguns regardin' their attitude toward the home an' family, too little stress on good manners an' respect fer self, 's we'll as fer others an' their properties. Sad it is, that the harm's been done, an' I see a good many young parents, t'day, a tryin't' take the old, tried an' true, methods, strivin' t' hold on It' the little ones, a hopin' tj avoid the pitfalls awaitin' our young folks Serve Pot-Luck Lunch To County Presidents Club The McHenry County Presidents club will meet at the home of Betty Gerlitz, Wonder Lake, Monday, July 10, at noon, when a pot-luck lunnch will be served. The hostess club will furnish meat. Those attending are asked to bring a beach chair. An election of officers will be held during the afternoon. Dues are payable at the meeting. Free Coiffure Appointments- Fun Or Fraud Some McHenry women and a few local beatrty shops have been the target in recent weeks of mischievous callers at the least, or more seriously, of malicious intent. The women report to the shop to keep appointments which have never been recorded. F u r t h e r i n v e s t i g a t i o n revealed to each case that the prospective customer had been called and told she had won an appointment for a coifftifcf at a particular shop, with pictures to be taken afterward. In each case, the story was related in a professional manner and included the same message. Beauty shop owners caution that if these are not nuisance calls, it is possible someone might be attempting to assure that the lady of the house is away, with a theft con­ templated. - Anyone who receives such a dall is urged to phone the beauty shop and verify whether the owner has entered into a cooperative plan offering a free hair set. PlaBs Complete F^* Dinner At Ringwood Church /Final plans are completed for tne chicken barbecue to be held <Jn the lawn of United Methodist cjpurch in Ringwood Sunday, July 9, with serving from 11:30 to 2:30. Although there will be a limited number of tickets available at the church thai day, folks are advised to get their tickets in advance to assure them of dinner. -'[Tickets may be secured by contacting Mrs. Mary Butler of HtcHenry, Mrs. Walt Wilcox of Woodstock, Mrs. Art Christopher of Wonder Lake or Mrs. Walt Low of Ringwood. ' There will be "Magic-under- the-Tent" Saturday night, July 8, at 8 with Thomas McKay, professional magician of Woodstock, presenting his act. Hie public is invited. that the result'd be as we. find i t . : - . v . , ' We used t' turn out some fine folks, wi' the father in charge o' the family, an' the mother a backin' him, wi' respect fer parents, teachers an' elders one o' the first lessons t' be learned by the young. Some years ago, , folks were told by educated writers, an' those who dared t' * intrude their criticisms, on society, that the old-fashioned methods, con- trolin' the young until they reach an • age where they develop a degree o' wisdom, through a bit o' experience, seasoned wi' the discipline o' parents who care, may turn out frustrated individuals. So many folks, unsure in their ability t' rear the offspring, turned a willin' ear, an' adopted the "New methods," fearin' the results o' followin' The heart breaks, wi' knowin' about special cases, where sadness strikes down good parents, who thought they wuz a doin' all they couM fer the younguns. But the veSry things they gave so freely , may ha' been the damagin' influence. Young folks need t' teel that parents care enough t take a stand in pertecktin' 'em from the world, until they're able t' be wise enough t' hand'ie 'emselves in society. I don't care how informed young folks are, t'day,\ they ain't any more able t\ use wisdom in managin' 'emselves, than they wuz generations ago, until they've had experience. They c'n be told, preached to, an' influenced as much as possible, by elders, but the teacher is experience, an' they ain't old enough t' realize the mental maturity*, than girls. That makes the eighteen-year- old male voter, about fifteen years old in reasonin' ability. The example's before us daily, wi' demonstrations o' im­ mature conduct o' young teen­ agers, who've not used good judgment, broken the law, 'r taken advantage o' the new­ found attitude toward 'em. We c'n only hope that the results '11 not be too disastrous. Far's I c'n learn, wise young folk, well educated, from families wi' high standards, feel inadequate t' make'correct decisions, an' one -group o' young people admit that many '11 be influenced by pressures, 'r other means, an' vote ac- cordin'ly.» Let's hope that by the time this country celebrates its 200th birthday, -we'll still be free t' speak, an' think in the true American way. * Grandma Radtke CROSSED EYES The majority of children born with crossed eyes need surgery or they will never develop normal vision according to the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness. Parents sometimes postpone surgery for years in hope that the eyes will correct them­ selves. But if the child is born with croutd eyes, they never correc! themselves. Surgery is the only effective treatment and tffMf it should be done •bout i * of itx months or •• sonti thereafter as possible. If you wait top long, the eyes may never develop normal vision. Late surgery can im­ prove. the child's appearance but it cannot save the sight of the affected' eye. CATARACTS A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye according to the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness. The cloudihess may start toward the edge of the lens or it may start in tiie center. In most cataracts, changes are slow Periodic changes in glasses may be needed for good vision. Eventually, th#» »cloudiness obscures vision to the point where glasses will not let you see well enough. Surgical removal of the cloudy lens is the proper procedure, after which good vision can be restored with spectacles or, as is increasingly being done, with contact lenses. Cataract surgery can only succeed in restoring good vision when the eyes were in good condition before the formation of the cataract. Maybe, better be suspicious when the M.D. tells you that you're as sound as a dollar. One thing all parents need to save for rainy days is patience.
