The event was planned by her granddaughter, Mrs. Jack (Tiny) Reese, of McHenry.

Mrs. Louise Tobiason and Mrs. Rose Charvat, both of Algonquin, will be demonstrating bread dough flowers. Mrs. Betty Pulver of Woodstock will be quilting. A two-hour workshop on candlemaking will be presented by Mrs. Inez Peters. She will include tips on types of waxes, hardening agents and creative candles. An afternoon workshop on the recently revived craft paper toile will be given by Mrs. Sharon Turskey and Mrs. Alberta England, both of Cary. Advance registration for the workshops is required. A special attraction during the morning and afternoon will be "Microwave Magic," food preparation demonstrations using the microwave oven. For more information, contact Mrs. Richard E. (Pat) Wilier, "Harvesting Our Heritage" chairwoman (815- 385-4254) or the Cooperative Extension Service.

The inscription, in pencil on the back, " a very good picture of the office but poor of Robert. He is taller than he looks and not squatty. That's the X-ray suspended over the patient."

Grandma Sez • • • Me ol' heart's a brakin', wi' hearing' o' the sad things happenin' t' our young folks, an' the law's so weak that the ones, responsible fer the break­ down o' standards fer our young folks t' grow up wi', can' be apprehended 'til the damage 's done. Youngsters used t' be fer- bidden t' bring smokes t' the school grounds, now, they pervide smokin' rooms fer the offenders. Perhaps it'll come t' pass that a place fer the use o' drugs, il be furnished, so's the addicted kin enjoy the freedom o' use, wi'out havin' t' leave school. What, in the name o' commons sense, 're we a comin' to. I don't want my tax money used fer things t' break down society. Youngsters don't know what's good fer 'em, an' our media seems t' ha' given everyone a false sense o' maturity. Knowledge's gained through contact wi' every thin' which the close media per- vides, but it don't give wisdom t' use the knowlege, an' that's behind the downfall o' our youth. Parents 're to blame, fer not bein' careful t' screen out the undesirable programs, t' which our youngster *r subjected. We put the medicine bottle on the top shelf, in unopenable bottles, even, an' then let little minds be subjected t' the poisons o' modern entertainment, designed, in most part, fer adults. The mind, polluted wi' the awful experiences one may visualize right in any home, t'day, can't help havin' affect on our young, an' the way in which their minds develop. It takes thoughtful trainin' on the part o' parents, t' teach the young t' sort out the things, encountered along the path o' life, an' know what's good fer 'em, an' what's harmful. When our schools become so affected wi' the wrong in­ fluence, that we cain't trust our young folks t'.the safety o' good government when they're attending' 'em, we're in pretty poor straits, ye c'n bet. Permissiveness, failure t* face facts, refusal on the part o' parents, t' accept truths, defendin' the offenders against the ones in charge o' our classrooms, protectin' off­ spring from disciplinary measures, an' much more, c'n be blamed fer the dire results, which ha' ruined numbers o' our young lives, t' the point o' no return. When 're we a goin't' stand up against the evils, a workin't' destroy our society, when it's too late? Grandma Radtke Presentation Play Set For Church Guild "A Plan For The Living", a presentation play with discussion by experienced personnel, will be the program at the Oct. 2, Monday night meeting of St. Patrick's Ladies' guild.
