Green St., McHenry corner of Beach and Orchardway burned to the ground last Monday evening. This and many other empty and deteriorating homes are a nuisance to this community.

Hope you're going much better Carl. Many residents have expressed their disapproval and annoyance with dogs running loose. Do you know if Fido is home? Here's an anecdote sent to me by a member of the community entitled What the Youngsters thought of the heavy snow this past winter. After having my dnveway and walk cleaned for the umpteenth hundred time, I asked the youngster who has been doing it for me to see if he couldn't stop the leak upstairs. He answered, "It's not a leak all the angels just have too much dandruff." Then when it snowed again on Friday Feb. 22, he again cleaned it off. We had set a price, but I gave him an extra 50 cents because he had to clean in front of the mailbox. He objected, but I knew he cleaned more than we agreed on, so I just told him to use the extra money to buy more "head and shoulders". He doubled with laughter Please call with some news!

Changing Food Scene' Over 5,000 new food items may be introduced in a single year. Dinner Theatre' Concludes With Neil Simon Hit Maybe it's because the cast includes long time favorites-or maybe it's the magic of Neil Dimon's humor. Whatever the reason, a large Saturday night audience found "The Prisoner of Second Avenue" an evening of Complete enjoyment at the McHenry Country club. Donald Crop, who has been building a fan club since his appearance in "Plaza Suite" earlier this year, plays the part of a' 47-year-old businessman caught up in the tensions and anxieties of the day. The action really begins when he and "enough others to make two elevator dips necessary" are fired. With his wife (Rita Weyland) at work, the "retired" advertising account executive finds his mental outlook deteriorating as he takes to reading the labels on cans in the kitchen for amusement. When the situation finally sends him to a psychiatrist, his brother and three sisters enter the scene, eager to do anyt to help him improve - w< almost anything. As Crop battles with the notion that the human race is behind a {dot to "change the system", his family is engaged in the difficult decision of how much the return of his health is worth - in dollars. "Hie Prisoner of Second Avenue" is downright funny and boasts an excellent cast. A fine vehicle to conclude an interesting season for dinner theatre in McHenry. Hie play continues another two weekends. A.F. BEN FRANKLIN'S 22nd ANNIVERSARY SALE 22 OUTSTANDING VALUES THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY ONLY BEN FRANKLIN SPECIAL Regular $3.99 Yd.
