SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLAINDEALER- PAGE 26 - WEDNESDAY. MAY 4, 1977 $v ••• Kids get a tickle out of fun game for hours of trouble-free vacation travel A family vacation is* re­ membered as one of sum­ mer's best times . . . except if the mode of travel is car, the travel time is long, and the children are young. In that case, the idle time youngsters must spend in the back seat of a car may prompt harried parents to wonder what ever made them decide to go on vaca­ tion in the first place. One of the best ways to keep "back seaters" occu­ pied for hours at a time is with a game or toy that holds their attention. "Tickle Bee," a fun-filled pre-school game from Schaper, solves the problem of keeping car- bound youngsters on the edge of their seats, absorbed in quiet play fun. "Tickle Bee" is a self- contained, one-piece game ideally suited to car. or even plane travel. Best of all, parents will appreciate "Tickle Bee's" in­ novative design which elimi­ nates small parts and pieces easily lost or broken with other childrens' games. Star of the game is a magnetic "bee" which chil­ dren "tickle" through a diffi­ cult beehive-shaped maze using a magnetic pencil. Even the pencil can't be lost; it's attached by string to the maze. The colorful, "woodsy" maze path is filled with sharp curves, bridges, tun­ nels and other clever obsta­ cles to test a child's concen­ tration and dexterity and provide fun and laughs, too. "Tickle Bee" is compact and lightweight enough to carry along to the beach or the playground as well as in the car. Youngsters can play "Tic­ kle Bee" alone, or in groups so brothers and sisters can share the fun of "tickling" their way to and from the vacation site. At the same time, parents will find themselves driving toward their destination in welcome peace and quiet for long periods of time. Most of the gossip in this community is one of two things: imagination or jealousy. . -f^ir VACATIONING PARENTS, who are familiar with the crankiness of young children in the back seat of a car, would welcome Schaper's challenging "Tickle Bee" game. With no loose parts to break or lose, this game will fill the often long periods of travel with hours of fun. Mom Loves a Cookout • Completely Assembled! • Ready To Use! • No Costly Installation!

McHENRY,ILLINOIS (815) 385-4200 Gems in porcelain Make way for Sandra Pallet, today's most ex­ citing new jewelry design­ er! Porcelain jewels, each handmade and signed by the artist are Ms. Pallet's trademark. In 1971, this enterprising young woman parlayed an initial $50 investment into a jewelry business that grossed over $10,000 in just one year. Recently Sandra was asked to design a spring jewelry collection for Estee Lauder's Runaway Roses cosmetic promotion. This resulted in a very delicate and romantic looking rose covered porcelain heart necklace. The designer often com­ bines silver or gold with the porcelain for an even more striking effect. The designer has very special feelings about her medium. She says, "Porce­ lain looks elegant and ages beautifully -- is so sensu­ ous to touch. It's fascinat­ ing to use a medium with such an ancient tradition in a totally contemporary way." Her porcelain jewels are truly works of art, each one individually signed and clearly expressing her artistic talents and inno­ vative creativity She ex­ plains that, "in c world that has become so grim and depersonalized, k is to my continuing deligut that I can create jewelry that is so personal, unique, • and joy giving."
