From left to right are Janet Anderson, Ruth Staveteig, Nancy Williams, Bonnie Schopp, and Vilma York. Missing from the picture is Jeanne Smith. Church Forms Women's Group An organizational meeting to form a new women's group called the American Lutheran Church Women was held Monday evening at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church, 404 North Green street, McHenry. Forty-three women came together to hold elections for various offices and to discuss the theme for the evening which was "Shalom." Dorothy Hollander provided special music for the occasion and Rosemary Schneider led the group in a brief Bible study which highlighted some con­ cepts related to the theme for the evening. Mixer games, group singing, refreshments and fellowship rounded out the e^bning's activities. A play was provided by Bonnie Schopp and Carol Nelson. The American Lutheran Church Women is a national organization which is a part of the American Lutheran church. It exists to provide Bible study settings, fellowship for women and opportunities for service in and through the local congregation. The group provides many opportunities to serve in charitable ways such as assistance on foreign " mission fields, assistance to children's homes, and specidl projects sponsored by the church. The local women's group will be dividing into morning, afternoon and evening circles or groupings for Bible study, fellowship and service. Elected to offices in the organization were ftuth Staveteig, president; Nancy Williams, vice-president; Janet Anderson, secretary; Vilma York, treasurer, Bonnie Schopp, secretary of education; and Jeanne Smith, secretary of stewardship. Well, the. ghosties an' th' goblins ha' disappeared again, a hidin' away, 'till next Halo'een. Seems like th' fun o' th' occasion's a wanin', an' th' art o' dressin' up has lost its appeal. Younguns come t' th' door, wi'out disguisin' 'em- selves, an' some say they'd be embarrassed t' dress up fer th' "tricks 'r treats." That seems strange, 'cause it 'ppears t' me, I'd be more embarrassed t' just go a beggin', 'n t' lend me efforts t* entertain th' folks, whose door­ bells I'd be a ringin'. Seems t' this granny, that th' folks who put effort in pervidin' th' treats, d'serve somethin', besides a lot o' treckin't' th' door, t' serve fifty, t' eighty younguns. Me thinks it becomes too one-sided, when no effort goes into givin' a little fun, along w' th' takin' o' th' goodies. Wonder what's a happenin't' th' real fun nature o' th' youngsters, these days. Maybe other things -re a takin' their interest, things that ought to belong t' adults, things that young folks should put aside 'til they grow up, a bit more. It's obvious that th' children don't stay children, very long, these days, an' its all th' fault o' the adults, in charge o' leadin' th' young, safely, along th' road o' life, so's they might be able t' truly enjoy adulthood, wi' th' correct understands' o' what it can mean. Me thinks, so much is ex­ perienced, by juveniles, these days, b'fore they've had time, t' live a full childhood, that when they reach th' years, when new vistas, in th' scheme o' life, b'gin t' open up, it's old stuff t' some o' our younguns. Little girls learn too much f'r their minds t' absorb in th' proper sense, an' mistakes 're made that affect their lives, as long as they live. Now, I don't hold wi' young folks, a bein' kept in th' dark about things that 're important t' their growin' up, but it takes intelligent teachin', an' a goodly amount o' un- derstandin', on th' part o' parents, t' guide th' young minds. Parenthood is th' most responsible job in this world, an' it might help a lot, in turnin' out acceptable offspring, if "Mom an' Dad," encouraged th' children t' be children, an' not get so het up o'er pushin' 'em into th' bracket o' adult b'havior b'fore their time. Seems that th' youngsters ha' been let down. This granny near had a fit, some years ago, when th' natural parental at­ titudes were undermined, by those, who would appear t' be a lot smarter, f'r th' fact that they'd had some learnin' from some sources o' so-called research. Let th' kids be kids. Get 'em back on th' righ track. We ne'er American Legion Auxiliary News MCHENRY UNIT NO. 491 By Pearl Cooper Mrs. E. J.
