Rockin' away, in me ol' rockin'-chair, ponderin' o'er th' state o' our country, an' a gittin' me dander up, th' more me mind fidgits wi' it, one thing stands out, there's a lack o' competent folk, willin't' stick their noses inter th' political mill. More power t' those, who dare t' brave th' tarnished arena o' th' political stage, these days.Th' ol* adage,«'Birds o' a feather, flock t'gether," keeps many a fair-minded citizen in his own back yard, fearin' t' be called a "Politician," wi' th' present day stigma attached. But, it's about time folks come forth, wi' initiative t' clean house, in our gover- mental bodies, an' keep a watch-dog vigil, t' see that it stays that-a-way. Staying' away from th' polls, refusin't' vote, 's like runnin' away from trouble. The shame is on our own doorstep, an* it won't e'er be remedied 'til folks take a hand an' wield th' broom, t' sweep 'em out. No one takes th' trouble t' find out what th' fellers an' gals 're paid, at th' top o' th' ladder, f'r doin' th' kind o' job that takes a heap less work, mental an' physical, 'n a lot o' folks, who're more important t' th' well-bein' o' th' country than folks realize, like th' farmers, an' th' miners, wi'out whom we couldn't exist. It's up t' us how we fare, an' we better get a hump on an' git to it. Poor management, o'er th' past forty years, spendin' money we don't have, livin* beyond our means, in th' home an' in th' nation, bein' led down th' rosy path t' th' false sense o' security, 's brought us t' th' brink o' disaster. Th' depression o' th' thirties, waren't brought on by th' same means, as what we're ex- periencin' these days. An' another thing, our natural resources weren't drained t' th' limit. An' when ye come rigfit down to it. th' almighty dollar b'came th' god, providin' things that actually break down th' kind o' society, set up by men, who tried t' get away from powerful political conditions. T'day, folks think they're • prosperous, but like a Will-o- th'-wisp, there's no substance b'hind this kind o' prosperity, an' I may not have t' eat my words, when I say, it's all a goin' down th' drain, one o' these days. It's unnatural, f'r folks t' have so much money, when there ain't substantial backin' fer it. We don't really have th' dollars, 'cause th' real value has been depreciated so much. No one knows how t' put th' national train, back on th' right track. Hope this granny lives long enough t' see th' outcome, an' some good men in charge. Grandma Radtke Xmas Fireplace Safety- Urged By Home Advisor Make sure it's chestnuts roasting in an open fire and not your home this Christmas. One tiny spark from your fireplace can ignite any highly flam­ mable materials nearby, warns Pat Frank, University of Illinois Extension adviser in Home Economics. Lighted candles surrounded by evergreens on the fireplace mantel add fuel for fire. Evergreen boughs dry quickly and burn like tinder, Ms. Frank says. A dry tree ignited by the tiniest spark can burn in less than a minute. Borders of greeting cards and paper or cloth displays on the mantel and the front of the fireplace can ignite suddenly and burn fiercely. Even many of the commercial decorations made of synthetic materials will catch on fire or melt, she adds. With a little planning, decorations for the mantel can be nonflammable as well as pretty. Before you gather or purchase decorations for your fireplace mantel, think "flameproof," Ms. Frank suggests using "flameproof;; crepe paper, cotton batting, or fire resistant paper for decorations. Glass, metal, asbestos, and other non- combustibles can be safely used near a source of heat. When you want to light a fire in your fireplace, check to see if the flue is open. It is a good idea to remove any newspapers, cards, and decorations from the area. Keep the screen in front of the fireplace while the Ttifire is burning. Before closing • the flue, make sure the fire is completely out. Avoid burning paper and gift wrapping in the fireplace. The sudden intense heat could cause the chimney soot to catch fire. Use care with "fire salts" which produce colored flames when thrown on wood fires, Ms. Stanley SteagaII of McHenry Farm Service; Mrs. Alan Ainger of the McHenry County Homemakers Extension association, and Alan Ainger of Production Credit association (back row, left to right), and Larry Harris of the McHenry County Farm Bureau (front right) were four of the representatives of McHenry county businesses, organizations and individuals that made the 1974 4- H recognition banquet possible. Sally Harrison, Woodstock, and Ben Jacobs, Jr., McHenry (front left and center) were two of the 140 McHenry county young people honored for their outstanding work in 4-H. The McHenry County 4-H Recognition banquet was held at Martinetti's in Crystal Lake. Because of contributions from several organizations, businesses and individuals from throughout the county. 285 4-H-ers, leaders and guests enjoyed a buffet dinner, program, and dance. This banquet is held annually to honor 4-H'ers who have s h o w n o u t s t a n d i n g achievement in their 4-H work as well as being involved in their school, church, and community. Pins and metals supplied by national and county donors were awarded to 120 4- H'ers in forty project and ac­ tivity areas. Other awards included the "I Dare You" book, which is a leadership award, and the state 4-H Key award, one of the highest awards in the state. Recipients of the "I Dare You" award Book were Sally Harrison and Greg Luedtke, both of Woodstock; Ben Jacobs Jr. and Kim Kantlehner, both of McHenry; Diane Kuhlman of Hebron and Kathy Meyer of Huntley. 4-H'ers who received the Key award for the first time this year were Sally Harrison and Ed Vogts, both of Woodstock; Jean Slater and Clyde Slater, both of Cary; Sue Kuhlman of Hebron, and Sue Borhart of Huntley. The recognition banquet is also a way to show appreciation for the 170 volunteer 4-H leaders in McHenry county. Pins were presented leaders who had completed their first, fifth, tei , and twentieth years. Cookie Time For Veterans For many years, the American Red Cross has sponsored a Christmas treat of homemade cookies for the hundreds of disabled veterans, some, from World War l, at Downey Veterans Ad­ ministration hospital. They eagerly look forward to this occasion each year. It is made possible by the cooperation of many groups and organizations throughout the county, such as Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, 4-H clubs, Camp Frank advises. They contain heavy metals and can cause intense gastrointestinal irritation or vomiting if eaten. Definitely, keep them away from children. Too much hard work kills the desire to play. Gold Fever In the early days of the Klon­ dike rush a miner cleaned up $46,000 worth of gold in eight hours and took $750,000 worth out of a piece of ground 80 by 50 feet in area. In 1851 the Cali­ fornia river-beds yielded over $81 million in gold. Whale Catch More than 100,000 whales were caught in the straights of Gibral­ tar in 1558. Fire Girls, Granges, church groups and individuals. f Last year the quota for \ McHenry county was 500 dozen. v Over 1,200 dozen were delivered. This year the quota is the same and it is hoped the response will be as generous. Mrs. Gloria Sunderlage, as she has for many years, will deliver them to the Red Cross headquarters at Downey hospital for distribution by Dec. 18. Therefore, they can be brought to her home, 819 Sharon drive, Woodstock (which is near Marion Central ^chool.) For particulars call the American Red Cross office in Woodstock. {Join Sunday Branch 9 AM to 2 PM Tht Xonghom £teak ftouse 2Yi Miles East of McHenry On Rte. 120 Phone 385-9869 HAPPY HOURS: 9 a.m. til 11:30 a.m. Bloody Mams, Salty Dogs • Cocktails 3U | American Legion Post 491 ! -RINGW00D ROAD, McHENRY- S No Fish Fiy j | on Fri.
