Grandma Sez , Me thinks th' time's nearin'n when mankind '11 experience a rude awakenin'. Seems t' this ol' granny, it's about time that God's about t' show him whose world this is. Like small boys, a fightin' o'er whose marbles 're whose, he's made life un­ bearable f'r th' rest o' us, fer thousands o' years. Th' world doesn't b'long t' anybody, 'ceptir' th* Power tKat made it, God. Every stick 'r;stone, every livin' thing on th' face 0' it, b'longs t' no other tlian th' Great Creator. 3n th' past, younguns wuz taught t' respect th' property 0' others. Me thinks th' same p&licy might be applied t' th' property 0' our Creator. Ye c'n imagine how much better off this world 'd be, if govern­ ments, from th' beginnin' 0' time, stressed th' need 0' preservin' th' bounties 0' nature, these God-given resources. »« Man has treated th' world ' like it were hisown little oyster, an' he's still at it. It troubles us elders, t' see th' waste. E'en wi' emphasis on th' subject, th' habit ain't curbed t' any great degree. Folks try t' do their little bit, a savin' paper, metals, an' glass, f'r recyclin', but that's a tiny drop in th' bucket. If one saw th' huge amounts 0' wasted materials, EN TRE HAJRSTYLING SALON CORDIALLY WISHES YOU i"HAPPY HOUMYS • PRECISION * DISTINCTIVE * PERSONALIZED CUTS _ WAVES HAIRSTYLING HOURS: 9 to 5 ANY EVENING BY APPT. try OUR "HOUDAV Hour' rTmCn Make Your Holiday Appt.

The second session will be Monday, Jan 13. Both classes will start at 8 p.m. "Early announcement is made now so that parents-to-be can obtain the routine per­ mission slip to attend from their family physician," Hanson explained.

Cornelison, chairman of McHenry County Farm Bureau Women's committee. Since the Child Protection and Toy Safety act of 1970, over 1,000 toys have been removed from the market, under Federal Federal Toy Safety regulations. It is still parents' and friends' obligation, however, to choose toys carefully. Ms. Cornelison asks them to consider the size and age of each child, his dexterity, strength and maturity. Many toys have suggested ages for use on their labels. Also keep in Discuss Unmet Needs Head Of Retarded Unit At Executive Mansion Raygiond H. Rohlwing, 11616 Edwards, Huntley, president of the board of directors of McHenry County Association for the Retarded, was the guest of Mrs. Roberta Walker, wife of the Governor, at a Coffee held recently at the Executive Mansion in Springfield. Mrs. Rohlwing accompanied her in th' large factories, an' corporations, ye'd know what th' real picture's like. Every grain o' sand, melted inter material f'r glass-makin' is one less f'r future generations. We hope this ol' world '11 pervide f'r life on it, f'r many generations t' come. Dissipatin' th' natural things o' th' earth, '11 shorten th' span, an' hasten th' end o' life, as we know it. Better informed folk, than this ol' lady, worry about un- balancin' th' planet, wi' drainin' th' great reservoirs, deep in th' earth, o' th' natural ballast. No one knows what keeps this ol' sphere, a turnin' on its axis, an' a spinnin' about in space. It's so tiny, compared wi' other planets, an' th' miracle o' what it holds, may ne'er be ex­ plained. Man has been a tryin' t' solve th' mystery, since th' beginnin' o' time, an' there's only one answer so far, t' be found in th' pages o' that Book, that's lived fer centuries. It's God's world, an' don't f'rget it. Grandma Radtke husband on the visit to Springfield and the Executive Mansion. This special event was held so that Mrs. Walker could meet with the volunteer leadership of local member units of the Illinois Association for Retarded Citizens (I.ARC.) and learn first hand what the unmet needs of the retarded are in their communities.

Ex­ plain hazards and rules of electrical toys to all children involved in play. Smaller children have special needs in toys. She continued: "Make certain the toy or detachable parts of it aren't small enough to be swallowed. Small parts could be easily pushed into ears or nostrils or could lodge in the windpipe. Make certain it is a sturdy toy and does not have sharp edges or points. Check the ears and tails of all stuffed animals. They shouldn't have sharp wires. Painted toys aren't a good toy suggestion for infants young enough to put toys into their mouths. Make certain all toys are labeled non­ toxic. Glass and brittle plastic are things not appropriate for infants. The toy parts should not be able to pinch fingers or toes or pull hair. Also, cords and string over 12 inches in length are ill advised. Avoid toys that produce excessive noise. Are toys labeled 'non­ flammable, flame-retardant, or flame-resistant, washable', etc.?" Yogurt Liquid yogurt, either fruit-fla­ vored or plain, retains a creamy, milkshake-like consistency with the fruit remaining in suspen­ sion. More than 10% of U.S. families buy yogurt at least once a month. The highest yogurt- consumption areas are on the East and West coasts, in large cities, by higher income families.
