PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER », 1977 Spotlite On Holiday Hills "The people here are tops. We have wonderful neighbors, ' and this is a great place to raise 'kids." <• That's how Marjorie Connell describes living in the village of -Holiday Hills, where her family has resided for eighteen years. If asked, the other residents of Holiday Hills would probably describe Mrs. Connell as "tops" also. She is certainly " active in her community, and has been so almost since her family moved into the area. Possibly she is best known for her work in the Holiday Hills Women's club. She has been a vice-president of the club, and is presently secretary and program chairman. Mrs. Connell believes that the club's most meaningful con­ tribution to the community is the swimming lessons which the club sponsors every summer. The club also makes Marjorie Connell story series by Jeff Honalo contributions to the Pioneer center and formerly to the Lakes Region Rescue squad, as well as working toward the betterment of the entire village. The Women's club is also planning its fifth annual bazaar, and Mrs. Connell is making many items for the event. Holiday Hills incorporated last year. Since that time, Mrs. Connell has served on the Finance committee, and this year is on the Ordinance committee. She said that the incorporation of the village was the most important event that has occurred since her family moved there. Her work, of course, has extended beyond the village limits. She was involved with Cub scouts for eleven years, and was on a Girl Scout com­ mittee for thirteen years. Mrs. Connell also was a teacher's aide at St. Patrick's church for two years in the CCD program. The Connell family is really a mini-army. Mrs. Connell and John have been married for twenty-six years and have eight children. Tlrere is John Jr., 25; Gary, 22; Cathy, 20; Eileen, 19; Rick, 18; Christine, 15; Randy, 10; and Maureen, 9. The Connell family is one that does things together. "The whole family loves the out­ doors, camping, etc.," Mrs. Connell said. That's why we came out here from Chicago." It was Mrs. Connell and her husband that started a Cub scout pack in the area. She was a leader coach, describing the experience as "fun". 4 "We have met so many people through scouting who are wonderful people," she noted. "To me, the outdoors is the greatest." Besides the family outdoor activities, Mrs. Connell also enjoys crocheting. She said that her enthusiasm for the outdoors came from her father, Walter Schweik, who presently resides at Valley Hi. "Dad loves the outdoors," Mrs. Connell said. "Hunting, fishing, camping...that's the way I was " raised." Marjorife Connell was also raised to understand the im­ portance of community ser- vice. Judging from her efforts in Holiday Hills, she learned her lesson well. ; Japanese Art Subject For Talk At MCC Oliver Statler, an expert on Japanese art will talk to McHenry County college students about Japanese prints on Thursday, Oct. 27, in the college's student lounge. Statler is a former art critic for the Asahi Evening News, a Tokyo English-language newspaper, and the author of books and scholarly papers on Japanese art.

Advisor, McHonry C« t̂y, Un University off Illinois Award Presentation This year will mark the third year the Sally Harrison memorial award will be presented to an outstanding McHenry county 4-H member. 4-H members, 15 years old and older and active members of their community, are eligible for this award set up by the Greenwood Gremlins 4-H club. The memorial award was set up by the 4-H club when Sally,,a member of the club, died suddenly in 1975 after an ac­ cident. Award applications must be submitted immediately. The recipient will be named at the Nov. 11 county 4-H awards and recognition banquet.. Past recipients of the award were Katheryn Luerssen, Alden, 1975; and Barb Meier, Crystal Lake, 1976. Not A Project 4-H members "Learn by Doing" in 4-H projects, but also in the possible activities they become involved in. One of these activities is Consumer Education. 4-H'ers can sharpen their buying skills as they learn to read advertisements critically; listen to product commercials on radio and television; read and compare hangtags; listen to friends and those who have had experience with a given product. Becoming aware of their rights as consumers, 4-H members will become better consumers. Gardening Tips Choosing, potting, and caring for plants ; starting plants from seeds or cuttings; and forcing bulbs are some of the activities youth become involved in, in the Gardening Indoors project. At this time of year, though, house plants left outside for the summer may be getting cold feet. •eooooooooeeoeoooo^ooooeooooeeeeooooooeoeeoooooooooo»oooeeo»ooooooooooeeoooooooe»oooeoooooooeoeeoeoo»ooeeoe< •|ic - big - big - mum DON'T MISS THIS FURNITURE EVENT- • 9A.M.

Sam to 9pm Wed. 1 Sat 9am to bpm Sun. noon to 5pm Free Set-Up, Delivery, 90 Days Same As Cash Many gardeners set their house plants out in the spring to give them a taste of "the good life." But now is the time to bring them in. If one waits too long, there may be some leaf drop due to the cold tem­ peratures. Bring plants in gradually. This helps them adjust to the conditions inside the home. The air temperature is higher, the humidity is lower, and the light is lower inside the home. If a plant is forced to make this change too quickly, its leaves will yellow and begin to drop. Start by moving the plant into the garage or house for the it and setting it back outside ing the day. Reduce the amount of water given the plants. This will gradually "harden-off" the plant so it will tolerate the change better. Continue this process for at least a week. And be sure to check plants carefully for signs of insects.
