Deborah Smith Wed In McHenry A lovely summer wedding was solemnized in St. Mary's Catholic church Saturday, Aug. 24, when Deborah Smith of 2907 Garfield drive, Rockford, became the bride of Larry Webb of 1421 Prairie avenue, Rockford. The Rev. Eugene C. Baumhofer officiated at the 2:30 afternoon services. The bride is the daughter of Mr and Mrs. Elmer G. Smith of 1406 N. Freund avenue, McHenry, and the bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Webb of Hardy, Ark., formerly of Sterling. Special music at the ceremony included "Song of St. Francis" sung by Diane Risley. a friend of the bride. The dark haired bride chose a gown of white opalescent sata peau and hand pearled imported chantilly iace. Lace fashioned the high neckline, empire bodice and bishop sleeves. The flowing skirt was deeply bordered with pearled lace which also encircled the attached chapel length train. A matching lace headpiece held a double tiered fingertip illusion veil edged with chantilly lace. Mrs. Dianne Meyer of Woodstock attended her friend as matron of honor .Bridesmaids were Miss Wendy Denk of Midlothian and Cheryl Smith of McHenry, the bride's sister. Clara Wiedrich 101 Years Old CLARA WIEDRICH It was quiet, but nevertheless a birthday celebration in every sense of the word when Mrs. Clara Wiedrich reached 101 years old Aug. 21. Cake and all the trimmings were enjoyed at the Pistakee Bay home where Mrs. Wiedrich, a former Ringwood resident, now resides. A nurse at the home said the centenarian was very ill last winter, but is much improved at this time and sits up part of each day. One of her greatest pleasures came last Easter when she received the gift of her choice, a purple straw hat. After long searching, one of the aides at the home found just what Mrs Wiedrich wanted and she wore it throughout the holiday. The hat remains a treasured possession, and she wears it whenever the nurses take her outside in her wheelchair. The attendants were attired in floor length gowns of pink dotted Swiss embroidered %ith roses and hearts, they wore pink picture hats and carried colonial bouquets. Jerry Webb of Mendota served his brother as best man. Dave Seidel of Sterling was groomsman. For her daughter's wedding, Mrs Smith chose a formal length gown of pink with a matching lace jacket. The goom's mother wore a full length green gown. After the ceremony, a buffet supper was served at the VFW for 125 guests When the newlyweds return from a wedding trip west which includes a visit to Las Vegas, they will make their home at 1421 Prairie avenue, Rockford. The bride is employed as a medical technologist and the groom works as a metallurgical technician at S u n d s t r a n d Aviation,* Rockford. ox cA/[i[acLj If you were to choose the most popular clothing item for school wardrobes, jeans would win a hands-down victory. Pat Frank, McHenry county Extension adviser in Home Economics, offers some buying tips. Proper seaming is especially important for smooth contour, comfort and durability. Flat- fell seams leave no open seam allowances to ravel during wear and laundering. Such seams, which have two rows of stitching, are enclosed on both the outside and the inside of the garment. Check to see that seams are neatly constructed and firmly stitched. Seams other than flat-fell should be overcast with thread to cover the raw edge and reduce raveling. A waistband made of two or more layers of fabric will reduce stretching in the waist area. If the jeans have no waistband, look for an interfacing of firm fabric sewn into the waist seam for stability. Places of stress like corners of pockets, belt loops and the bottom of the zipper placket should be reinforced with thread bar tacks or rivets. To select the correct size of jeans, take into account the amount of shrinkage anticipated and also fashion such as leg length and width. Most jeans have a sewn-in care label. Be sure to read it and follow the directions. Ms. Frank recommends that you wash red jeans separately. Pastel and white jeans may be put with regular wash, and dark-colored jeans may be washed with other dark clothes. Tumble dry and remove the jeans from the dryer promptly since overdrying causes wrinkles and in some cases stiffness. By overwashing or overdrying, you also waste scarce energy. Unless you really want the jeans lightened, do not use bleach. Jeans that are made-to- fade require separate washing. The hotter the water, the faster they fade Community Make It Beef Next time you order beef in a restaurant, you'll know that you're in good company.

As people turn to their refrigerators, bars, and ice chests and reach for their fa­ vorite summertime drink, some choose buttermilk: others crave such exotic concoctions as cinna­ mon iced coffee and Singapore sl'.ngs; many swear by cold beer. But almost everyone prefers one drink over all others. The ques­ tions are: Does it quench your thirst? And if so, why? "You start getting thirsty when you lose about two per­ cent of your body's water, through perspiration or excre tion," explains Portia Morris, Ph.D., professor of food ccience and human nutrition at Michigan State University. (Water con­ stitutes roughly 54 percent of the average adult male body weight, 48 percent of the fe­ male, and 77 percent of the new­ born infant.) And if a person loses too much water, he or she may become dehydrated Beverages have certain innate qualities that work to make them thirst quenchers -- some are better than others. Temperature has nothing to do with quenchability. "That's entirely a matter of habit and culture," says Dr. Morris. The primary requirement for satisfying a thirst is a high water content. Taste and sugar content are also important. Sweet drinks or sweet tasting drinks are not as thirst quench ing as nonsweet drinks. For the most part, low-calorie or diet drinks, which are high in water and low in sugar, have high marks And a tart lemonade is a better quencher than a sweet soda -- even though both have the same amount of sugar (12 percent) and water (88 percent). "Alcohol in itself has a de­ hydrating effect," says Dr. Mor­ ris, "and alcoholic beverages do not appear to be good thirst quenchers." Using water content as a cri­ terion for thirst quenchability, here's how some favorite sum­ mer drinks compare: club soda .... 100% water iced tea 99 + coffee 99 + cola (diet) 99 Kool-aid (presweetened) ... 99 beer 92 ginger ale 92 milk (skim, butter) 90.5 cola (regular) 90 root beer 90 soda (fruit flavor) . 88 Kool-aid (sugar added) 88 lemonade 88 milk (whole) 87 martini 80 wine 76.7 MR. AND MRS. RANDY JACKSON MARRIED - Miss Colleen Doherty, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Doherty, McHenry, and Randy Jackson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Jackson, Woodstock, were united in marriage Saturday, Aug. 17, at St. Patrick's Catholic church, McHenry.
