Barney Cashman, played by Donald Crop of Mundelein, and Bobbi Michele, in the person of Mavourneen Scolaro of Woodstock, in a scene from "Last of the Red Hot Lovers" current McHenry Dinner Theater offering. The play, which opened last weekend, will be presented again April 6 and 7 at the local Country club. Timeless Theme Marks Current Theater Offering When a man reaches middle age and th£ sum total of his existence can be described as "nice but not terrific", desperation sets in. When at 47 he goes through the obituary pages "just for the satisfaction of not seeing his name", it's time to act. And that's exactly what Barney, the last of the red hot lovers, does in the play of the same name, current offering of the McHenry Dinner Theater at the local Country club. Only some excellent acting kept Neil Simon's first act from bordering on occasional tedium. But the tempo picked up and produced some hilarious moments. Barney's would-be conquests are a hard, brazen blonde, a scatterbrained psycho and a timid, colorless friend of his wife. The play is definitely "now", although its theme is timeless, leaving a distinct impression that here, indeed, is the old fashion "happily ever after" ending. "Last of the Red Hot Lovers" is clever and the cast so varied as to assure a constant change in mood within one setting. Try to include it in your en tertainment plans April 6 or 7. A.F. Tornado Season Is In The Making If tornado history is any guide, at least ten potentially lethal tornadoes could touch down in Illinois this year -- and the bulk of them in the months ahead. Illinois ranks among the states first in the number of tornado deaths, five last year alone, and ranks second in dollar amount of tornado damage. Val Oshel, Illinois Civil Defense director, asked Governor Dan Walker to declare April as Disaster Preparedness month in Illinois as in previous years. Oshel has asked all of the Civil Defense organizations in Illinois over 350, to join in disaster preparedness programs during the month of April. In addition to the threat of tornadoes each Spring, citizens of the state are threatened by high winds, severe storms and Spring floods. In observation of Disaster Preparedness month, the McHenry County Civil Defense will review disaster plans and recheck all emergency equipment, supplies and manpower. John J. Shay, McHenry County Civil Defense director, said safety tips for tornado safety and flash floods are available from the Civil Defense office at the courthouse in Woodstock. Shay pointed out, "Most people are not aware of the difference between a "tor nado watch" and a "tornado warning". Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms are not always preceded by the issuance of tornado watches or severe thunderstorm watches, because forecasting has not yet been developed to that point." Shay said, "The watch tells people to go about their business, but to keep an eye on the sky and in touch with weather statements and warnings issued by the National Weather Service. The watch means the weather conditions are just right for a tornado to spawn." The warning tells people of an actual sighting or an indication by radar and urges those in the danger path to prepare to take immediate cover for protection." According to the National Severe Storms Forecast center' in Kansas City there were 744 tornadoes reported in 1972... most of them in the southern states. Although this number is 85 more than the 659 average for 1953 through 1972, there were few "family" outbreaks and few super tornadoes. Even though the 1972 deaths were a record low, there were 986 tornado injuries in twenty-nine states, along with about 143 million dollars in property damage. Only eight states had no tornadoes during the year. The last "super tornado" occurred on Palm Sunday in April of 1965, when forty-seven tornadoes swept through five mid- western states, including McHenry county, killing 247 people and injuring more than 1,500 - or the worst single twister on record, the tri-state tornado of 1925, which in three hours churned 200 miles through Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, killing 689 people. Houses hit by tornadoes literally explode. Then the wind scatters the debris like shrapnel, with an upward motion that sometimes carries heavy objects hundreds of yards. Typical time of occurrence is a warm, sultry afternoon between 4 and 6 p.m., but tornadoes have occurred at all hours of the day and night--and in all months of the year.

Brokers Offer Various Terms You have decided to sell your house and you are about to enlist the services of a real estate broker as your sales agent? If so, the Illinois State Bar association suggests that now is a good time to acquaint yourself with the various types of listing agreements which real estate brokers offer their customers since one plan may be more suitable to your needs and circumstances than another. Basically, a listing agreement is a contract bet ween seller and broker which defines the legal respon sibilities and right of the parties. It identifies the property to be sold and describes the nature and extent of the broker's services, the duration of the agreement and the circumstances under which a commission on the sale will become due and payable to the broker as well as the amount. As a rule, the ISBA says a real estate broker is considered to have earned his commission when the sale of the property to a buyer he has provided has been accomplished and he can be paid from the proceeds although under some cir cumstances the broker may have a claim to a commission even if sale to a ready, willing and qualified buyer is not transacted. Beyond this, listing agreements differ in some important aspects. Whereas more detailed information can be obtained in consultation with your lawyer or broker, the basic types of listing agreements can be described as follows: OPEN LISTING: The owner agrees to list his property for sale with a real estate broker and to pay a commission to him if the broker accomplishes the sale but this agreement does not prevent the owner from entering into similar arrangements with other brokers. EXCLUSIVE LISTING: The owner agrees that the broker will be the exclusive agent for the sale of the property and the seller will not negotiate with any other broker. However, if the seller finds a buyer for the property himself, he can conclude the sale without any liability for payment of a commission to the broker. EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO SELL: The owner agrees that the broker will be paid a commission on the sale of the property whether the buyer comes through the broker, owner or some other party. MULTIPLE LISTING: The owner enters into an exclusive listing (or exclusive right to sell) with the broker who in turn lists the property with other real estate brokers in the area through a multiple listing service, usually operated by the local organization of real estate brokers. If another broker comes up with a buyer, the broker having the exclusive listing will handle negotiations with the seller but will share the commission with the broker who supplied the buyer. Commissions generally charged by real estate brokers vary from one locality to another and the listing agreements offered by brokers may differ in some respects, depending upon local practice, the ISBA said. Beef oioss cut shanks are made by cutting the fore shank perpen dicular to the bone. The cross cuts, varying in thickness from 1 to 2M> inches, contain consider able connective tissue as well as a round bone.

Pour off drippings, add 2 quarts water and seasonings, cover and cook over low heat for 2 hours. Add vege tables such as potatoes, carrots, celery, rutabaga or turnips and simmer, covered, about 30 min utes longer or until the meat and vegetables are tender.
