JlaJze. Woman i CU crfnnounceA A common complaint from people, young or old, is that they "don't have anything to do." Frank Sakulenzki will never have a problem finding things to do to occupy his leisure time -- he doesn't have any leisure time. The 19-year-old Wonder Lake resident is a full-time student at McHenry County college, holds down two jobs and spends his spare time studying or remodeling his newly-bought home. Frank bought his house in Wonder Lake this past summer and with his fiance, Barb Neeley, also of Wonder Lake, collectively have spfent about 500 hours in time and $1,500 in material to get the house finished before their Nov. 24 wedding. According to Frank, the house will be paid for within two years - before he is 21. "I have to complete payments on the house so that I can begin investing in a restaurant-lounge with my father. I had to buy a car and that slowed me down," said Frank. By the time he is 21, Frank also plans , to have completed his degree in accounting. He now spends much of his spare time studying, mostly between classes. When asked about whether his work conflicts with his schooling, Frank answered that he either "cuts work or sleeps short" if that happens. He added that he likes to think that . he does his best in all his classes. In addition to school, Frank works about 30 hours a week as a house painter. On weekends, he performs throughout the Chicago area as a musician, either in a three-piece or nine- piece group, specializing in polka music. "I guess that if I have a hobby, it's music," Frank said. He plays the saxophone and clarinet and practices with the groups once a week. He was a member of the concert and marching bands before he graduated from Chicago's Gordon Technical high school in 1972. Being a homeowner, student, painter and musician will keep Frank busy enough so that you will never hear him say, "I don't have anything to do." Harmful? I've read so much about the harmful effects of air, water and noise pollution that I've decided to give up reading! cNov. 15 <SfxexJze. x Thursday, Nov. 15, at 8 p.m. the Woman's club of Wonder Lake will feature a talk by Mrs. Pat Wilier of the McHenry County extension service. She will present a lesson on "New Finishes on Fabrics". In a time of many types of fabrics and their make-up, this program is timely. Any women who have sold tickets for the luncheon and fashion show to be held Nov. 27 should turn in the money to the c/fuciiertre 1 ^xow c/fi. JlocaL ^fieatu. iOfiats <cNcur ^Season Audiences definitely larger than we remember last Spring, left McHenry's Dinner Theatre with a smile last weekend. And the smile should have lingered long, for they had seen a most entertaining presentation of "Plaza Suite". For those unacquainted with the comedy, "Plaza Suite" unfolds in three acts, each depicting an independent and unique situation. In "Visitor from Mamaroneck", a 51-year-old husband, refusing to admit that age is creeping upon him, plans to spend his twenty-third (or twenty-fourth) wedding an niversary with his secretary while his wife of long standing attempts to recreate a romantic atmosphere by renting the bridal suite where they spent their honeymoon. The hilarious presentation by Donatelle and Donald Crop are ideally suited to the husband and wife as intended by Writer Neil Simon. Act II, "Visitor from Hollywood", found the same talented pair in starring roles. Action centers on a Hollywood producer who meets an "old flame", Muriel Tate, after seventeen years. The meeting results from an article in his mother's home town DaDer chairman, Karin Guelzo. Also, any women who plan to attend the Christmas party at Sara Williams' home Dec. 9 should bring the money. Any woman living at Wonder Lake who is interested in fin ding out more about the club, is very welcome to attend a meeting at any time through the year. The club welcomes new members. Meetings are held at Nativity Lutheran church on the Third Thursday of the month from September through May, with the exception of December. They start at 8 p.m. POET'S CORNER MY SYMPHONY OF PRAISE FOR THANKSGIVING I'm thankful for the sweet innocence of a child's face as it looks into mine. For the trust and respect of youth and the aged. For the glories of nature and sight to see them. For the songs of birds and children and ears to hear them. For simple melodious hymns. For joys of home and family life. For quiet sanctuary that restores one's peace. For quiet meditation that restores one's soul. For friends and loved ones and fellowship sweet. For wholesome influence of quiet retreat. For faith, trust and confidence in a loving God who demands our best. Ethel L. Hintz listing Mrs. Tate as winner, with her daughter, of a potato race. The third act, "Visitor from Forest Hills," concerns a wedding that almost never comes off. While the parents frantically pleaded for their daughter to. "go through with the wedding", the youngster remains in self-imposed seclusion within the locked bathroom. After long pleading by the parents, only three words from the waiting bridegroom, in the jargon of youth, 1973, bring forth the beaming bride-to-be for a happy ending. The roles portrayed by Donatelle and Donald Crop are demanding and they meet the challenge to the applause of an appreciative audience. McHenry theatre gets better and better. A.F. FOR WOMEN ONLY The Women's Relief society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has weekly meetings designed to help the entire family by providing a program for the lady of the house.

GRANTING IMMUNITY "Dear Editor: "I note that State's Attorney William Cowlin has been taking the bows for the indictments and convictions resulting from the investigation into misconduct at the Secretary of State driver testing station at Woodstock. Much of these self- congratulations is deserved, I am sure. "However, Mr. Cowlin has failed to explain one strange aspect of his handling of these cases. That is his granting of immunity to County Assessor A1 Jourdan for his testimony. "It has been my un derstanding that prosecutors only offer immunity when there is no other way to obtain evidence necessary for a conviction. And I thought it was limited to suspects of lesser importance to convict a big shot, rather than the other way around. "I am not making excuses for those convicted. The law is the law and in this case the requirement that people take a driver's test before they get a license is a good one. The issue PAGE 5 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14. 1!>7:$ here is equal treatment before the law. "If I were one of those in dicted, I would be rather upset about the situation and would be asking my lawyer why he couldn't have gotten irpmunity for me. And if I were a Republican who had been in dicted, I would insist that Mr. Cowlin explain why immunity was available to the Republican county cahirman but not his troops. "All of which reminds me of a story I read about President Eisenhower and Marshal Zukov at the end of World War II. The two military leaders were comparing notes and the General asked the Russian how the Red Army' deactivated enemy mine fields. "Simply," the Soviet commander replied, "We march the infantry through." "Yours Truly, "DanMcNulty V '#U- V: I o Jb ? -- J M 3 A » RECYCLE . . .
