Spoilite On Wonder Lake Marie Robinson Staff photos by Wayne Gaylord Story series by Jeff Bonato There is VERY VERY good news coming from Wonder Lake these days! Marie Robinson is ready to return to her rightful position as one of the leaders of the community, having just about fully recovered from a hip injury. Mrs. Robinson's recovery is good news for everyone, but is especially so for the members of the Wonder Lake Young At Heart club. For the past nine years, Mrs. Robinson has served as president of the organization, organizing all the trips and activities for the group. So well organized and suc­ cessful have been the trips she has planned, that the other club members simply won't let her retire as president. Mrs. Robinson has organized trips to Holland, Mich., Wisconsin, etc., and without fail, they have been a success. Besides organizing the club trips, Mrs. Robinson is well known for her baking talent for club bake sales. Her specialty is brown bread, and on the day this writer was there, he received a free sample. Believe me, it's as good as people say. So dedicated is Mrs. Robinson to the success of the club, that she baked, not just ten or twenty loaves, but 100 loaves of brown bread for the last,Young At Heart bake sale. For her contributions to the community, Mrs. Robinson has been honored by the surrounding residents, who named her as one of the parade marshals for the Bicentennial parade in Wonder Lake. In return, she made prizes for the workers on the floats in the parade, saying she did make the prizes because, "All these people put in work to decorate the floats, and I felt that you should show you appreciate it. "Every day I try to do something for somebody," she added. "Sure, we all have faults, but you have to take the' good with the bad." There are many stories which Mrs. Robinson could tell- -but won't. Around the area, she is a continuing source of strength for those in need, and those who know her testify to her loyalty. She admits that while recovering from her accident, she was "going crazy." Her determination can best be shown in that, despite her hip injury, she still continued to cook and clean. She also has a small army of other Robinsons around. "It's a happy army," she said proudly. The crew includes two sons, one daughter, six grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. Her many other contributions aside, Mrs. Robinson's greatest contribution is probably to the Young At Heart members. "I want the members to enjoy themselves," she said. "Otherwise, they just sit day-in and day-out. They like to get out for a day." Mrs. Robinson's "coming out" will be at the end of November when the Young At Hearts go on a Christmas shopping excursion to Milwaukee. Those in the club, and those in the entire Wonder Lake community, will be much the better for Marie Robinson's return to her former active role--just as they have been better off for her willingness to contribute it) the past. Clarify Conditions For. Yield Of Right-Of-Way i Many drivers are not familiar with all of the con­ ditions under which they should yield the right-of-way. Here are some which all drivers should know and ob­ serve to avoid traffic ac­ cidents : At intersections where there are no stop signs, yield signs or traffic control signals in place or in operation, and two vehicles approach or enter an intersection from different roadways at approximately the same time. TTie driver of the vehicle approaching from the left must yield to the driver of the vehicle approaching from the right. You must yield the right-of- way to police vehicles which are using sirens or flashing lights and to authorized emergency vehicles which are using both sirens and flashing lights. You must pull over to the right-hand edge of the highway and stop, if possible, until the emergency vehicle has passed. Intersections must not be blocked. You must give vehicles in a funeral procession the right-of- way at intersections when their headlights are lighted. The driver of the leading vehicle must obey stop signs and traffic-control lights, but when the leading vehicle has crossed the intersection, all other vehicles in the procession may follow cautiously, without stopping. A copy of the newly revised Rules of the Road booklet will be sent upon request. Write to Alan J. Dixon, Secretary of State, Springfield, 111. 62756.

RESERVE YOUR by JOSEPH COOLS staff psychologist -- n«wi from the Family Sarvice and Mental Health Clinic of McHenry County Ernest W. Dahlin of 1318 3rd avenue, Rockford, has an­ nounced his candidacy for congressman from the 16th district in the March 21 Democratic primary. TURKEY NOW I (Editor's note: This is the fifty-first in a series of especially written articles for McHenry county readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health center staff. This article is "Coping - Depression and Anger.") The source of many feelings of depression is anger. The anger that is involved, however, is seldom expressed directly towards the person or circumstances that originally produced the anger. In most cases, the depressed person may be totally unaware of any real feelings of anger. This can be relatively easy to demon­ strate with many depressed people. For instance, if a person has been mistreated or dealt with unfairly at his job by his boss, he may react with a feeling of depression. If the depressed person is asked if he is feeling angry with his boss for unfair treatment, he may say, "No, I don't feel angry at all, just depressed." In this rather extreme example, the anger that is normal to the situation We Reserve The Right To Limit Quantities On has been turned completely inward, to the point that the person is not even aware of any feeling of anger. In more typical cases, however, a person will tend to become initially very angry when treated "unfairly", but either have no opportunity to express this anger directly or feel it would be best not to. In die case of being treated un­ fairly at work, it would do no good to express anger directly to the boss and run the risk of getting into further trouble and possibly getting fired. 1 So it is with many other aspects of modern life: - to become actively angry is either socially unacceptable or disadvantageous. It does little good to express hostility if the consequences of this are worse than keeping quiet. Unfortunately, the price to pay for holding in feelings is often higher than one expects or can tolerate.

Hold Gorman Lutheran Worship Service At Zion A German Lutheran worship service with Holy Communion will be held at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, Nov. 6, at Zion Lutheran church, 4206 W. Rt. 120 in McHenry. The Rev. Robert F. Kam- phoefner ' of Immanuel Lutheran church in Dundee since 1959 will deliver the sermon. He graduated from Concordia seminary in St. Louis in 1937. The bulletin for this af­ ternoon service will contain the liturgical portion in both German and English languages. Pastor Kamphoefner was one of Zion's festival speakers last September during its cen- tenhial year and also brought the message to the local congregation on its ninetieth anniversary in 1966. The public is invited to join Zion this coming weekend as the Gospel is presented again in native tongue to many area residents. PAGE 5 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 2. 1977 ASCS Reminds Farmers To Report Crop Acreage McHenry county farmers who have not reported their total crop and land use acreages to the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation service (ASCS) are urged to do so as soon as possible. William Cristy, chairman of the McHenry county ASC com­ mittee said the acreages must be reported to be eligible for 1978 program benefits. "Even though farmers may not have needed to certify crop acreages last year," Cristy said, "it is very important that thfcy report their 1977 crops." So far. 1.750 farms in McHenry county have had their crop acreages certified. Farmers who fail to certify will be ineligible to participate in 1978 programs, Cristy added. "The importance of correctly reporting acreages cannot be overemphasized," Cristy said. Crops should be reported on a field-by-field basis.. Random spot checks of program crops will be made tc assure accurate reporting. Applicants for all ASCS programs witt}be given equal consideration without regard to race, color, sex, creed or national origin. Seminar For Nur^s At College November 5 Shopping Hint When shopping for meat to bar­ becue, always remember to check the grade. Beef ribs and loin cuts of USDA prime and choice grade are very tender and have an abundance of mar­ bling--flecks of fat within the lean--which enhances the flavor and juiciness.
