NEWS OF THE 8-40 ^uj£st c^fcLi[ins± cMofis. £ax[y CAcLxtzizLng Grandma Scz ••• Another Thanksgivin' day's a thing o' th' past, an' th' thought in me mind is that we'll remember t' be thankful all year 'round, 'til next year's time t' celebrate, an' be able t' say we didn't ferget. Though it may not always be th' way we'd like t' hev it, there's ne'er a time when we can't be grateful fer somethin'. This granny's heard many a remark, on th' subject. Some ask why they need t' be thank­ ful, when all they have, is reward o' effort on their own part. Others feel that they don't need t' be beholdin't' anyone, as long $s they have what they want. Usually, th' more one has, th' more one wants. Th' secret o' bein' content wi what ye have, is th' simple act o' bein' appreciative enough t' be thankful fer it, for, wi'out th' Great Power, we wouldn't e'en be here. Societies, established on a relationship wi^'The Big Man, Upstairs," Jre th' ones that survive in contented good- fellowship wi' one another. Somehow, wi'out th' love o' God, and' His power o'er th' universe, there's a lack o' love fer other humans, also. Man becomes another animal, along wi' th' beasties a walkin' on four legs, 'r a crawlin' on their bellies. Th' lack o' proper regard an' respect fer th' bountiful wealth o' this little planet, earth, has brought us t' th' predicament we find ourselves in. Folks weren't content wi' th' blessed bounties we had, enough t' be careful o' 'em, an' not glutton ourselves wi' th' lavish quantities o' Mother Earth's resources. I'm a wonderin' how folks feel about th' billions o' tons o' mineral matter burned up in th' Space program. T' this ol' lady, it was put tin' th' cart afore th' horse. There was a job, down here, a lot more important t' th' peace o' th' world, t' be done, first. It hain't ne'er a good thing t' leave unfinished business, fer another project. Ye git involved wi' th' new int'rest, an' let th' ones, needin' attention, jist hang there, 'till th' sitiation gits so bad, no on can't tolerate it. What this world needs is enlightenment on th' subject o' preservation. Th' farmer learned t' idle some o' his fields, t' let Mother Nature restore th' ground t' fertility. So, folks need t' put away th' extravagant ways, adopt a conservative attitude toward ever'thin', an' attempt t' stretch our resources t' last a bit longer, 'r civilization, as we know it, '11 disappear from th' face o' th' earth. Sometimes, me thinks it's happenin' already, 'cause we jist can't survive but a few more generations, at th' pace we've been a gon'. We need t' be more thankful, an' appreciative. Grandma Radtke C[l£ (J^>iAfiCciy± draft*. Jjt ems Members of the McHenry Garden club displayed arts and crafts decorations at the recent meeting held at the home of Mrs. Harold Wildhagen. Most of them had a fall or Thanksgiving theme. Mrs. Wagner volunteered to decorate the Mental Health clinic with a planting that will remain all winter. A large poinsettia will be sent to Valley Hi Nursing home. Members will meet Dec. 4 at 11 a.m. to travel to Dundee for a Christmas party and luncheon at Floyd's. The prospective chapter of the McHenry Sweet Adelines performed for the Pistakee Highlands Women's club Wednesday evening, Nov* 28. Some of the barbershop numbers presented were, "He's Got the Whole World In His Hands, "I'm all Alone", "Strike up the Band", "Rubber Ducky" and many others. As a prospective chapter of the International Organization of Sweet Adelines, McHenry has high hopes of chartering soon. More members are needed and the club urges anyone interested in singing to join any Tuesday after the first of the year at 7:30 at the Parkland Junior high. The delay in welcoming new members is because the club is booked solid with sing outs for December and rehearsals will be changed to fit the busy schedule of the holidays. "Deck the Halls" and "Fa la la la la" will begin the holiday season for the prospective Sweet Adelines Dec. 12 with their first big Christmas sing- out for the Crystal Lake Senior Citizens. cfyomsmacU c/j-t c^f&CfiLng Sclzclclx Come in and browse, you'll get ideas for furnishing your bath and discover many charming gifts. 3012 W.
