PAGE 2 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, MAY 23, 1975 McHenry Director Feature Ballet, Character, Jazz Dancing On Program In recent months a long held dream has been coming to fruition for many residents of the county. Years of rigorous training, refining, development in dance, has finally resulted in the formation of a tiny nucleus of a future dance theatre to promote talent and top quality entertainment on a local level. Just as merchants advocate shopping locally, so does this young troupe wish to show that one need not always travel to Chicago and spend a small fortune in seeking exciting entertainment. The public will get its first taste of what this burgeoning seed of talent has produced hoping to become a blossoming company of dancers, on Saturday, May 24, 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, May 25, 2 p.m., at Crystal Lake high school auditorium. The dancers come from all over McHenry county and the outlying suburbs of Chicago. None of these other suburbs have anything similar to provide a showcase for rising talent, as well as being reasonably priced en­ tertainment for the residents. As in the past, this is a pioneer area, and this time in the world of dance theatre. The show will open with the production of an original ballet to music by Vivaldi "Visions and Reflections" begins With the mellow reminiscences of the mature woman, looking back on the rich tapestry of her life. It follows the life cycle of Woman in her years as matriarch, mother, wife, lover, maiden, budding adolescent, and frolicking school girl. It is at once touching and vibrant in its treatment of these stages of life. With its fairly large cast, the exuberance of youth, the camaraderie of family parties, the mystery of first love, the fullness of an overflowing heart, combine with the enchanting music and elegant costuming to produce a SUSAN ELIZABETH McMILLAN PLAN JULY WEDDING - Mr. and Mrs. Donald J.

Act II: "Americana," brings out all the lusty joy of the American people in a turn-of- the-century town on festival day. Who has not recalled fondly town picnics or celebrations full of music, color, parades, street dances, slices of watermelon as broad as the smiles of the people, freed from their every day cares for just a little while? So it is in "Americana", with the beautiful young girls and their vigorous beaux, the laughing children dancing on the village green, the wandering "grubs" seeking approval from the refined ladies of the town. This act is a picnic basket crammed with musical treats from "Old Dan Tucker," to "Foggy Mountain Breakdown." Act III: "Jazz Kaleidoscope" lives up to its name in the everchanging, jewel-toned patterns of a kaleidoscope set to the pulsating rhythms of jazz, and implemented with the lithe beauty of the dancers. Vital and exciting, this jazz suite is highlighted by its contemporary music and original choreography, com­ bining for a stunning effect that will leave you breathless. The group (where everyone volunteers their time and talent, and proceeds go to promote an official dance theatre for the county), is under the direction of Judy Svalander, a McHenry resident. Having first tasted the excitement of dance as a small child in local dance classes, she continued her training in Chicago, and became a professional at the age of 15. By the age of 19, she was dancing with European ballet companies, and rose to the rank of soloist. She worked extensively in Amer­ ican and European television, fulfilling her training in ballet, jazz and character dance in musical comedy road companies as well. She returned to the States in 1972, she opened a dancing school. Mrs. Svalander is the guiding light of this venture, and hopes to develop a top­ flight company of dancers to showcase rising talent without necessitating distant travel or unbelievable prices. Tickets are strictly on a reserve seat basis. They can be purchased through the mail by writing to Judy Svalander, 1301 N. Riverside drive, Mc­ Henry, or in person at that address. Tickets will also be on sale at the box office, but to be sure of good seats, order soon. For further information, call 385-6520.

The big question today is, where are those replacement lids? Rumors are flying fast and furious. After contacting a large manufacturer of canning supplies, the University of Illinois McHenry county Ex­ tension office has come up with these facts. Nancy Moore, Extension adviser in Home Economics for McHenry county reports that: 1-Previous retailers of canning lids are going to receive the same ratio of supplies as they have in the past; 2-Southern states will receive theirs first and supplies will be worked north following the harvest; 3-Please do not buy more lids than you need once they become available or someone will be without. Surplus lids should be stored correctly season to season or the seal compound may dry out. Virginia Knauer, office of consumer affairs, stated on March 10 in Washington, D.C. that - 6V2 million new gardens will be planted this year. - About V2 of these people who are putting them in will want to can. - Industry will send to the market 400 million complete jars with lids; this is a 30 percent increase from 1974. A leading producer of jar replacement lids stated there will be 1 billion 500 million replacement lids and caps » produced by the three leading companies. The University of Illinois extension office in McHenry county will supply correct procedures and recipes for successful canning and freezing. For information, Contact Nancy Moore, Extension ad­ viser in Home Economics at 338-3737 or 338-4747. Services of the Extension office is open to all McHenry county residents.

The theme of this year's school, "And God Says: 'I Promise,' " is designed to help students see that God is trustworthy in all that He says, that He kept His promises down through the centuries, and that He continues to do so today.

Emphasis will be the same throughout the school, but at six different levels designed to meet the needs and interests of the different age groups. Each day a different segment of the theme will be taught. The first five sessions will teach about God's Promises in a general way: 1-Led by God's Promise; 2-The Savior is Coming; 3-The Promise is for all; 4-Signs of God's Promise; 5-God Said It: He'll do it again. Sessions six through ten teach specific promises of God: 6-Help for Living God's Way; 7-Ask and Receive; 8-Strength in Weakness; 9-He Give-We give- He give; 10-Peace. Each day the students will be involved in learning through object lessons, discussion groups, craft work, group singing and Bible study.

'Games Night" For Senior Citizens Monday Evening Hats have come back in a big way with the fashionable set. This is a result, prob­ ably, because of smaller hair-dos. Large floppy hats of white straw are popular. The next meeting of the McHenry Senior Citizens club will be Monday, May 26, at 7:30 p.m., at East campus cafeteria. The program for the evening is "Games Night", something different and unusual. A total of 189 attended the May 12 meeting, and enjoyed a very fine program presented by the Crystal Lake high school freshmen quartet consisting of Jim NelSon, director, Don Moore, Jeff Dixson, Dan Albrecht and Jeff Wollan. President Bowsher reminded the members of the last two sessions of the current Driver Refresher course Wednesday, May 21, and Wednesday, May 28, at the city hall from 10 a.m. to noon. These refresher sessions have been very helpful to those taking their written driver renewal tests. To register for one of these courses, contact Kenneth Bowsher. Mrs. Alice Chermak advises she has several volunteers for "parent sitting". Interested persons should contact Mrs. Chermak and let her put new names on the list. Frank Giel reported the bowling banquet at the Branded Steak House at Crystal Lake was a huge success with 160 in attendance. He advised that everyone had a fine time, enjoyed dinner, and appreciated the entertainment by the Sweet Adelines and Ken Schopp, the clown. Summer bowling sessions are Tuesdays and Fridays. , Mrs. Alice Wilke read thank- you letters from Valley-Hi Nursing home, Town Hall Estates and Harvard Rest home, for the many donations by the Sewing group of bibs, clothing* and other needed incidentals. Bath towels are needed for making the bibs, also bias tape and thread. The Sewing group will appreciate donations of all sewing needs as they have many uses for thread, material, tape, etc. Members in arrears for three months are automatically dropped from the membership rolls, so a check of status is advised.

POETS CORNER MY VACATION WISH Every year I cannot wait For that very, very special date, We pack up the car And travel to a distance of afar I see pretty cliffs and lots of rocks And see birds flying over in flocks. As we arrive My stomach feels like bees in a hive, I want to go fishing and cannot wait, But my Dad says "No, it's getting late. Go to bed, we'll fish in the morning." I said, "But Dad..." He said "This is only a warning." I woke up at the crack of dawn looked out the window and saw a little fawn I got up and did my chores, Ran down to the river and cast along both shores. I had no luck All I did was scare a lonely duck I wish and wish That I could catch a fish And if I did, I hope he is big and husky And only wish that he is a Muskie. I keep thinking of that awfully big fish And how he would look filleted on a dish But for that I'll have to wish and wish.
