The McHenry county Meet and Eat program not only serves seniors below poverty level, but strives to provide ail people over sixty years of age a comfortable place to meet old friends and new, take part in various activities, and of course, "eat out" in a relaxed, congenial atmosphere. "It's fug to take a drive and enjoy the spring-green coun­ tryside between walk-in cen­ ters and meet and eat with other seniors in the county," says Alberta Dodson, secretary-coordinator of the Nutrition program. "Walk in centers are located in Woodstock, Marengo, Huntley, Crystal Lake. McHenry and Harvard. However, before arranging an outing, lie sure to call in a reservation by 1:30 the day before. If the site is not open or noone answers, call the Senior Citizen council office in Woodstock, 338-6075. "With a nutritious meal conveniently prepared by someone else, who wouldn't gain a new outlook and a spring in their step. A special in­ vitation is extended to persons who live alone or can't afford a balanced meal, one that is tasty yet contains one-third the daily requirements for good nutr- tion." Children's Theatre In Opera House Performance Salesmanship A successful auto salesman was overheard telling a prospec­ tive buyer, "Did you realize that while we're standing here talking, your car is depre­ ciating?" Happy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Bashful, Sleepy, Dopey and Doc pay a visit to the Wood­ stock Opera House when Ramada Children's theatre presents "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" Saturday, June 10, at 1 p.m. The play is sponsored by the Woodstock Fine Arts assocoation in cooperation with the Woodstock Opera House. Advance reservations through the Opera House at 338-5300 are recommended. An original adaptation from the famous children's story, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was written by Michelle Vacca, who while studying at Northwestern university was the only woman to receive the Schubert fellowship for playwriting in two consecutive years. Ms. Vacca also performs the role of the Wicked Witch. The cast for this production includes eleven professional actors who form the Ramada Children's theatre. According to producer Bruce Wright, the highlight of the performance is the talking mirror which "glows magically" during its con­ versations with the Wicked Witch. When asked about the moral of the story, Wright responded, "The mirror on the wall does tell all." Future children's events also include a return of "B.J. and the Dirty Dragon Show" July 15 at 1 p.m. Sold out last summer, this performance features characters from "Gigglesnort Hotel" on Channel 7, WLS-TV, Chicago. Museum Will Present Spinning Demonstration Sunday, June 4, the McHenry County Historical museum in Union will offer spinning demonstrations by Mrs. Phyllis Hansen of Huntley. She is a member of the McHenry County Fibers & Wheels Spinning guild. Dressed in costume, Mrs. Hansen will be at the museum from 1:30 to 4:30 to demonstrate this ancient but practical craft. Spinners today, like Mrs. Hansen, use a form of spinning wheel that was first developed during the last Jialf of the Eighteenth century. Yet in its earliest form the only spinning equipment was the spindle, a small tapering rod which rotated and twistdd the thread, with the distaff, a stick or staff jpon which fiber to be spun was ioosely bound. This was hand /spinning, and history records that it originated centuries ago. Accounts show, for example, that Helen of Troy was given a golden distaff. Also, a distaff of 11 inches long was discovered in the excavations on the site of Troy with portions of black wool still clinging to it. While improvements in spinning have taken place over the years, the general prin­ ciples used today are those worked out a hundred years ago. The McHenry County Fibers & Wheels Spinning guild is keeping the craft of spinning alive even using such different fibers as dog hair, camel, buffalo, silk and linen. There is a small charge for non-members but members with cards are admitted free. Two Area Candidates For Dairy Princess Contest Among entries in the McHenry county Dairy Prin­ cess contest are listed two area candidates. Dawn Vogts of Woodstock, daughter of former McHenry residents Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Vogts, and Elarie K. Sawallisch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Darwin Sawallisch of Ringwood, are announced as contestants by Larry Harris, secretary of the Dairy Promotion council. He has also reported the finalization of plans for the council to sponsor the annual contest. "Candidates are invited to obtain an entry form at the Farm Bureau office," Harris said. "We are anxious to have candidates selected by the end of May so all can participate in the Harvard Milk day ac­ tivities," Harris said. Candidates should be daughters of McHenry county dairy farmers, or they may have lived on a dairy farm at one time. Girls who are com­ pleting their junior year in high school are eligible if they are 17. Sherry Payne, Woodstock, is the reigning McHenry County Dairy Princess, and along with Dairy Promotion council members will carry out several special promotional activities in the next sixty days. The annual Dairy banquet is one event that attracts a large crowd. Held late in June, it is a windup to the month long focus on June as Dairy month. On June 27, the 1978 Dairy banquet will be held at Crystal Lake and the highlight of that event will be the announcement of the successor to Sherry as reigning McHenry County Dairy Princess.. Since a near-sellout of tickets invariably occurs, Harris suggests farm families and others interested in attending the Dairy banquet call the Farm Bureau for reservations. The dinner will be at the Branded Steak House restaurant at Route 31 and 14. Brian Jauhiainen, 1977 winner of the McHenry County Fair Talent contest, senior division, won the freshman gold medal competition recently at the American Conservatory of Music, Chicago. Brian, son of the Rev. and Mrs. Henry Jauhiainen, Crystal Lake, is a freshman at Wheaton college and also a student of Madam Genia Danova at the Conservatory.
