PAGE5-FLAIM» rt - WEDNESDAY, JULY 12,1978 Johnsburg Mary L. Gunderson 385-3052 London Visit Delights Area visit, but they really appreciate Johnsburg and the U.S.A. Grandfather, Dr. George Goetschel remarked ... "En­ joyed it so much - we should go Family Members p." year and on 10 John and Marlene Goetschel, Spring Grove road, Johnsburg, together with their daughter, Mary, 19, and grandfather, Dr. George Goetschel, 87, left O'Hare field Saturday, June 17, at 2 p.m., flying directly to London. They were to visit Chris Goetschel, 20* with the U.S.A.F. Base Lakenheath. Chris has been there since October and likes it very much They spent a week together touring London, seeing castles, palaces, the changing of the guard, driving around the countryside in a rented small car with "left-hand" drive. The roads were two-lane and crowded. Lakenheath Air base was visited, with a special tour by Chris, and they all enjoyed the American food there. The English menus had plenty of fish to offer, and they even tasted kidney pie! One day they had the op­ portunity to visit the North sea - another to see the White Cliffs of Dover, and the English channel. On three days of their visit the weather was gorgeous, but the balance were typically "English". They had a boat ride on the Thames. It so happened they were in the area at the best time for the roses, and saw f a n t a s t i c d i s p l a y s everywhere...the smallest yards - some about 9x12' - all had rose bushes They took a ride in the un­ derground "tube" - similar to our subways - and also in an English cab, which are small, as well as about all the other things that a typical American traveler would do! One evening they all attended the theatre to see "Ten Times Table." Mary Beth Karas of Lily Lake road, Lakemoor, a friend of Chris', joined them. She is at school there this summer. Hotels were comfortable - one large room with five beds. Rate included English break­ fast - large juice, coffee, cereal, eggs, bacon-sausage and toast Most of the English eat only two meals a day Family homes are smaller than we are useu to, and buildings are connected, but individually painted to owners' preference. English churches are of great size - cathedral type - one started in the eleventh century had only seventy parishioners. Work continued for 300 to 800 years - truly an awesome sight It was at least three times the size of St John's It was good to get back home - England is a beautiful place to JOHNSBURG HIGH SCHOOL Attention: AH Johnsburg high school football prospects!

The McHenry County Defenders and all those working on the drives during the past four years have recognized those people who take the time to prepare their recycling materials, are willing to learn what can and what cannot be recycled, and who make the effort to bring their prepared materials to the Market Place parking lot on the third Saturday of every month For those not yet involved in recycling who would like to help the environment by decreasing the amount of trash that ends in landfills throughout the county; for those who live in outlying areas and would like to cut down on the amount of throw-away material they must pay to have removed; and for those who would like to help community groups -here are a few guidelines to follow 1 - Newspapers should be tied securely in both directions in bundles that can be handled by the workers Free rope is on hand at each of the drives for any person wanting to take some. 2 -Clear, green or brown glass bottles should be clean and have any plastic or metal removed 3-All-steel cans, such as those vegetables come in, should be washed, have labels removed, ends cut off and tucked inside, and flattened to save space 4-All-aSluminum products, such as TV dinner trays, siding scraps, and all-aluminum beverage cans should be clean and flattened as much as p o s s i b l e A l l - a l u m i n u m beverage containers can be identified by their rounded bottom edge and the fact that a magnet will not stick to the side nor bottom Most pop and beer cans are neither all-aluminum nor all- steel, and consequently cannot be recycled because of their bi­ metal quality They must be disposed of through the usual trash disposal Rather than buying beverages in non- returnable containers, the McHenry County Defenders Q I understand that there is a ' o i l - f r e e n u m b e r t h a t a n y senior or disabled person may call and receive help with their problems.
