The three actors are part of the cast of the Fantasticks, an award winning musical which will be presented in St. Patrick's church hall, Washington street, McHenry, May 31, June 1 and June 7-8, at 8:30 p.m. Tickets may be obtained by calling St. Patrick's rectory or 385-7806. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD The Fantasticks, the longest running musical in the history of the off-Broadway theatre, will begin performances at St. Patrick's church hall, McHenry, May 31 and settle in for a two-weekend run ending June 8. The musical contains the ever popular "Try to Remember", The story, by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, is simplicity itself, concerned with the efforts of two parents played by "Bud Uttich and Dan Malone of Crystal Lake to have their children married without their knowledge of parental influence. The children, portrayed by Don Reinboldt and Coleen O'Keefe, meet a bandit in the guise of John O'Keefe of Crystal Lake and two swarthy pirates (Paul O'Brien and Bill Dicker of McHenry). The enchanting fun is nicely held together by the character of the mute (Debbie Sabatka, Crystal Lake) who portrays the wall between the young lovers' gardens. Phylis Johnson of Wonder Lake and Dwayne Fair, McHenry, provide the musical accompaniment. Victoria Bassi, T. L. Reinhardt Wed Saturday Miss Victoria Bassi and Mr. Thomas L. Reinhardt of McHenry recited nuptial vows in a beautiful wedding ceremony solemnized in St.' Mary's Catholic church Saturday, May 25, at 2:30 in the afternoon. The Rev. Father Joseph Kulak officiated at the Mass, for which there was guitar music. Mark Bartos gave the readings. The church was decorated for the occasion with bouquets of yellow and white daisies and gladioli. Miss Bassi is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Bassi of 4214 South street. Mr. Reinhardt is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Kuester of 5201 W. Shore drive. The pretty bride selected a I REMEMBER TIE BOOS OLD S&TS From Alfaretta Court right, Al- rlii, Texas: I remember how Mama made onion syrup. She put •ix large Bermuda onions (sliced very thin) into a big blue crock. She heated a cup of sugar in half a cup of water until it boiled. This was poured over the onions. Over this she put a ironstone plate and weighted it with a clean flat iron (the cast iron kind with the built in handle). When the syrup was pressed out she fed it to everyone who would take it whether they had a cough or not. I know now that this onion syrup did not help to ward off coughs or colds, but I know that it was chockful of vitamins. Then there was the onion poul­ tice Mama made by heating the sliced onions and pouring them into a salt sack (remember the cloth ones?), and pinning the whole mess warm into a vest on the chest. I do not know how much it helped, but I am here to remember. IStnd contribution* to (hit column to Tho Old Timor, So* *39, Frankfort, Ky. 40*01.)

The flower girls wore short-sleeved jackets of the same material. They carried baskets with the same kind of flowers. Edward Linnane served the bridegroom as best man. Groomsmen were Greg Bartos and Wesley Rust.

THE HOJISE, THE FOX, AND THE LION adapted from The Fox and the Horse by the Brothers Grimm By Paul Galdone When he is banished by the farmer he has served loyally for so many years, the old horse is very sad and depressed. The farmer has told him he will take him back if he proves his strength by bringing home a lion. But how can the old horse possibly do that? In rollicking, action-filled pictures, Paul Galdone shows how he accomplishes this seemingly impossible feat; aided by a friendly, quick­ witted fox and a surprisingly slow-witted lion who is anything but a King of Beasts. This little-known tale by the Brothers Grimm provides Mr. Galdone with a fine opportunity to display his talent for amusing animal drawings, and the result is a thoroughly enjoyable picture book for young readers and listeners, who will respond immediately to the plight of the poor old daughter's wedding a floor length dress of aqua color. Mrs. Kuester wore a long yellow dress. Following the ceremony, a reception for 125 guests was held at the Timbers in Woodstock. The newlyweds will make their home in Cary. horse and delight in his eventual triumph. PENGUINS, OF ALL PEOPLE! Written and illustrated in full color By Don Freeman Do you know what "Aark aark!" means in Penguinese? These were Pengo's farewell words to his father when Peary B. Penguin set off for New York. An urgent message had arrived in Antarctica inviting Peary to a special meeting of the United Nations. New York held ,many surprises for Peary and his penguin delegation--"Look at those tall icebergs!" exclaimed Peary as he poirfted to the s k y l i n e -- b u t j n o t h i n g astonished them so much as the gloomy scene inside the United Nations assembly hall. There were only frowning faces and angry words. When Peary was asked to address the delegates, he hardly knew what to say until he remembered Pengo's farewell words, words of good advice to all people as well as penguins. This engaging tale, filled with affection for both penguins and people, is told with the bounce and gaiety that have made all Don Freeman's books such a delight for very young readers. THE ISLAND STALLION'S FURY Steven Duncan and his friend Pitch had discovered a lost world behind the high cliffs of Azul Island in the Caribbean. Only they knew of the existence of its wild, pureblooded horses and the great Red stallion, Flame. Then to the Island came a giant of a man intent on destroying their private world. His great greed and vanity drove him to dominate the valley to match his strength against Flame's. For to conquer the valley he had to conquer its king!

Consumers' Corner Supplemental Security Income A new federal program that improves the financial well-being of millions of needy Americans who are old, blind or disabled, regardless of age, recently went into effect. The new program is called Supplemental Security In­ come (SSI). Because of this new federal assistance program, the income of people who are 65 or older, blind or disabled, will not be al­ lowed to fall below a nationally established standard. Instead of having a different plan in each of the fifty states and Washington, D.C.. a federal system with uniform eligibility requirements and uniform pay­ ments ha» been established. Supplemental Security Income replaces three federal-state pro­ grams--old age assistance, aid to the blind, and aid to the perm­ anently and totally disabled.

That old cliche certainly isn't applicable in the case of garden­ ing. Few things can give one more pleasure than viewing the rich, green foliage of a tomato plant -- and nothing can taste better than the fruit it bears. Even those who live in apart­ ment complexes without even a scrap of land can still grow to­ matoes for food -- and still have a beautiful houseplant to show for it. With a little bit of patience and luck -- and a lot of loving care -- the "ledge set" can lib­ erate the earthy vegetable and grow tomatoes to their heart's content. All that's needed is a sunny window, a hanging basket and some store-bought healthy plants. The rest is up to you. Use bagged potting soil laced with fertilizer to accomodate the small-fruited patio-type plants. Add enough water so that the soil crumbles but is not soggy Here are a few more tips: • Place the plant in its hang­ ing basket anyplace where it will get at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. Tomatoes grown in bright, warm places develop stout branches and abundant fruiting. - Help the plant to adapt to its new surroundings by control ling the water and plant food. Wait to water until leaf color changes and the plant begins to wilt. Each time you water -- probably every three to seven days -- wait for that "wilting look." This treatment slows growth and helps your little fel­ low to survive sudden changes in the environment. - Pick off any yellowing leaves until the plant develops. Turn the container at weekly intervals --so that the plant will develop symmetrically. - Let the tomatoes ripen on the plant until they are fully red. That will be about 45 to 60 days after you begin your gar­ dening effort. Social Security Administration will administer SSI and make payments. Supplemental Security Income will establish a nationally uni­ form income floor for people in need. The amount of the pay­ ments they get will depend on how much other income they might have. If you know an aged, blind or disabled person who may need this supplemental income and is not now getting assistance, you may wish to suggest they call their local Social Security Office.
