spurgeon's Larry Ekeroth, Don Reinboldt McHenry Choral club presents auditorium at 8 p.m. and Walter Sment will be featured as the Three Kings when the "Sights and Sounds of Christmas" Dec. 1 and 2 in West campus STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD <̂ Sic){it± - cSounA± (Of (2fzxi±tma± The auditorium of West campus high school will be transformed into a metropolitan store at Christ­ mas time for the McHenry Choral club's annual holiday presentation. The program will be given Saturday and Sunday nights, Dec. 1 and 2, at 8:15 p.m. Resembling the display windows of one of the large city stores, one section will feature the Land of Make Believe. Uncle Mistletoe, Cinderella, Snoopy and the Christmas clowns will come to life briefly. All of them, and more, will join Old King Cole and his fiddlers three in bringing this portion of the program to a merry close. Following intermission with Santa Claus, the audience will be carried back in memory to the first Christmas. Opening with a large caroling chorus of men in the stirring "March of the Kings", the sacred story will unfold in the same Christmas windows, displacing holiday reverie. The Three Kings will make their way toward the Star of the East, followed by the small drummer boy. Musical selections will include "Carol of the Drums", "Do You Hear What I Hear?" and "Ave Maria". Edwin Wittrock is president of the club for the 1973-74 year. Accompanists are Mary Ann Sharp, Jean Neumann and Joan Murphy.

Ĵ atuzaHy f̂izaAing By Joan Chapman LIFE GIVING LECITHIN (less-i-thin) Here is another one of nature's tranquilizers; not only does it help to relieve stress and quiet the nerves, but Lecithin has many other life-giving properties, as you will soon learn. First, I want you to remember that lecithin is important to the assimilation of vitamins A, D and E, which you have already read about in previous columns. Lecithin is an emulsifier of fats, breaking them down into tiny particles. It is a powerful agent for flushing high amounts of cholesterol out of our system. Now you know why it is well known for its ability to keep arteries free of cholesterol deposits. Did you know that: 1. Gallstones are 90 percent cholesterol? 2. 17 percent of the brain is lecithin? 3. Lecithin is found in every body cell and every corpuscle of the blood? 4. Smokers' lungs contain seven times less lecithin than non-smokers? Perhaps most amazing of all, Lecithin has just recently been identified as the' substance missing in the lungs of new born babies who cannot MARRIAGE LICENSES Carl A.

Nov., '72) Please note...Lecithin is only available in natural foods, not processed; as the food processors often remove all traces of it to lengthen the shelf life of the product. Although when fat has been added to processed food, Lecithin is often added to prevent fat from clumping together. Lecithin can be found in butter, eggs, unrefined oils, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, soybeans, beef, nuts, and wheat germ, or you may get it in a food supplement such as lecithin grartutfes or capsules.

Every western movie fan knows the good guys wear white hats., Smart cranberry shoppers know that good cranberries bounce, bad ones don't! According to Pat Frank, McHenry county Extension adviser, Home Economics, this characteristic of cranberries is used to tell the "good guys" from the "bad guys" during processing. Cranberries that pass the bounce test are good and are packaged for marketing fresh or frozen, or sent onv for processing where they emerge in a variety of products in­ cluding whole berry and jellied cranberry sauces, relishes, and juices. Ms. Frank suggests the following tips on how to make the quality standards developed by U.S. Department of Agriculture. Cranberries are a must on every Thanksgiving table. FRESH CRANBERRIES - These are usually packaged in one-pound film bags or in boxes with windows for viewing. Since quality grades are not usually marked on the package, look for plumpness, good color, and uniformity in size. Avoid cranberries that are crushed and leaky. These will be off-flavor. FROZEN CRANBERRIES - These are packaged in 12 oz. or 16 oz packages. The berries are frozen with no sugar added and, after defrosting, should be used exactly like fresh berries. U.S. Grade A (or Fancy) indicates premium quality cranberries that are practically free from defects and have good color and texture. U.S. Grade B (or Choice) berries are of very good quality. U.S. Grade C (or Standard) berries must nave fairly good color and texture and must be fairly free from defects. To rate any of the three grades, cranberries must have at least normal flavor and color CANNED CRANBERRY SAUCES may be bought in either jellied or wholeberry styles. A top quality jellied sauce is tender but firm enough to hold its form for serving. In whole-berry sauce, the skin particles and semi-jellied portions are reasonably tender and the fruit, seed, and skin particles dispersed uniformly. U.S. Grade A or Fancy is the top quality for canned cran­ berry sauces. In addition to firm gel, Grade A sauces have good color and flavor. In lowej^ grade sauces, the color may npt/j be as bright as in Grade A. But, lower grades are good and often a thrifty buy. The U.S. grade name or grade shield may be shown on the label of frozen cranberries or canned cranberry sauces that have been officially graded. If the label is simply marked "Grade A" or Fancy without the U.S. prefix, the product must still meet the requirements of the U.S. grade. If there's no indication of quality on the labels of the frozen cranberries or cranberry sauce you buy, check the product against the U.S. grades described here, so you can see what quality you're paying for. And try different brands to find the quality you like. Top quality usually costs the most. Cranberries are now available for year-round en­ joyment. Frozen cranberries are available at the store--or buy the fresh berries and freeze them at home-to use later in your favorite recipes. Cran­ berry sauces, relishes and juices are ready-to-use favorites that add sparkle to any meal any time of the year. Ms. Frank encourages you to try the following recipe for an interesting change: CRANBERRY COOKIES Cranberry cookies boast the perky goodness of fresh cranberries. l2 cup butter or margerine 1 cup granulated sugar 34 cup brown sugar packed 14 cup milk 2 tablespoons orange juice 1 egg 3 cups sifted flour 1 teaspoon baking powder l /4 teaspoon baking soda l2 teaspoon salt 1 cup chopped nuts 2'2 cups coarsely chopped fresh cranberries Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
