ward and sptirgeons '""'WUGS umlgfii«* Grandma Sez • • • It makes this granny feel better about the future o' our social structure, wi' the' steps, taken by communities, t' right th' trend toward parental responsibility f'r offspring. Seems like, in th' past few years, parents ha' shuffed off that responsible attitude, onto their communities, police and schools, an' fail t' take th'» trouble t' teach th' younguns how t' live in a respectable society. Hence, th' invasion o' young childern into properties o' others. This granny insists that this could be a better world, if those in charge, performed as they should, an' in th' manner practiced an' proved, in past generations, when a body b'haved t' avoid th' consequential punishment. There's no harm in th' ol' fashioned method that used t' take place in th' woodshed. That method o' warmin' th' posterior always seemed t' right th' operation o' th' other end, an' put th' mind in better perspective. It's a shame how th' obstreperous younguns ha' taken o'er, an' seems t' me, they sure got th' adults on th' run. Tables ha' turned in many communities, an' this ol' lady remembers when it all began, 'way back in th' early fifties. But that time seemed t' be th' off-shoot o' th' theories, started about thirty years afore, when some do-gooder influenced folks wi' th* bright idee that younguns needed t' grow up, free o' frustrations. So, it made great changes in th* attitudes o' parents, e'en those who'd been raised wi' th* ol' methods o' shapin' young minds t' live in society wi' a little thought f'r others. So, th' wheel turns, new idees 're tried an' found wantin', an' society near turned into a jungle, wi' th' wild ones like untamed animals, attackin' an' takin' from others, whatever an' whene'er they wanted. Seems a disgraceful sitiation has come t' pass, an' now th' problem is t' git back on th' right track, an' build a better environment f'r one an' all. Somehow, folks don't seem t' see ahead very far. Th damage has t' be right on th' end o' their noses, afore they realize that they been a follerin' th' wrong track. It takes a heep o' doin't' undo th' damage, an' from where I sit, a lookin' at th' sitiation, I'm a wonderin' how th' thinkin' c'n be turned around, into th' right channels. Grandma Radtke NEW FACES In NEW PLACES (In an effort to keep our readers informed as to who's moving in "across the street, next door, or down the block", the Plaindealer will publish, as they become available, the names of our town's newest residents.

Recent activities have in­ cluded a day at the Field Museum in Chicago to see the King Tut exhibit, and a luau, which was an adventure in Hawaiian eating. The evfening ended with the very American custom of roasting mar- shmallows and singing around the fire. Some very interesting and informative speakers have met with the group. Hie McHenry Rescue squad gave a helpful demonstration, and an officer from the McHenry police department spoke on safety and home security. Anyone interested may call 385-0083 for information.

The Plum Ranks High In Edible Versatility In choosing fresh plums, select ones that are full-colored for their variety, and firm except for a slightly soft tip- end--a good indication of ripeness. If plums aren't quite ripe yet, leave them at room temperature to ripen but watch them carefully. They can quickly turn from ripe to over­ ripe. Refrigerate ripe plums immediately; they'll "keep" in the refrigerator from three to five days. Last but not least, Nancy Moore, University of Illinois Home Economist recommends that you leave the skin on. The contrast between the tartness of the skin and the sweetness of the flesh is what distinguishes plums from other summer fruit-it's what makes them plums! For the legions of the wieght- conscious in America, there is another aspect to fresh plums that is almost as delightful as their flavor--their lack of calories. One medium-sized 3 oz., plum averages only 35 calories. But while the plum is short of calories, it's not skimpy in flavor appeal. And in varying amounts, depending on variety, fresh plums provide a number of nutrients that may be short in many diets. These include vitamins A, Bl, C, iron and important trace minerals. Fresh plums are also high in pectin and low in sodium. In truth, a plum of a fruit. Fresh plums-all plums of whatever color and variety- are best-known and loved for their superb juicy out-of-hand eating qulaity. But, says Mrs. Moore, each variety has special qualities that make it par­ ticularly well-suited to one or more cooking techniques. Mrs. Moore makes these special vaietal recommendations: for canning and freezing-El Dorado, Nubiana, Santa Rosa, Queen Ann; for jam, jelly and butter-Queen Ann, Santa Rosa, Casselman; for sauce-- Wickson, Nubiana, El Dorado; for pies, cakes and tarts- Kelsey, Nubiana, Lproda, Queen Ann, Wickson, El Dorado; for sundae sauce-Sim- ka, Arrosa, New Yorker, Laroda, Santa Rosa, Wickson; For fruit compote-Nubiana, El Dorado, Red Beaut, and for salads and fresh . desserts- Laroda, Nubiana, Queen Ann, El Dorado and Wickson. To preserve their goodness for later, Mrs. Moore recom­ mends the following procedures. To prepare for canning, always wash plums and prick the skins with a skewer. Plan on about 2 lbs., of plums and 1 to lVfe cups sugar syrup to fill a one quart canning jar. A general rule of thumb is to use a sweeter syrup for tart plums; a medium syrup for sweeter varieties. Freezing plums is easy-just add a mixture of % to 1 cup sugar and V* teaspoon ascorbic acid mixture to each quart of fresh plum halves. Spoon sugared plums including any syrup that forms into freezer containers, seal, label and freeze. "Jammed" plums have a sparkling color and a flavor to match. And freezer jam is an easy favorite. To make, follow the recipe directions on a package of powdered or liquid pectin, consulting directions for correct amount of sugar and plums. Ladle jam mixture into freezer-proof sterilized jars; cover and let set for 24 hours at room temperature. Jam will keep up to one year in a zero- degree freezer. have nice weekend. forget your car as Nil W*st Elm Strnt The McHenry Plaindealer EttobllslMd 1S7S McHwry, Illinois MOM Phono MS-0170 Published Ivory Wodnosdoy I Friday at McHonry, Illinois Socond Clou Pottogo Paid at McHonry, Illinois By McHSNRY PUBLISHING COMPANY t^ni»in w n|i»ml «• ptwrit IIIM<»II MMM of chant* *f wMrm* H> Th* McHwwy Mil W.
