SECTION 2 -1" \i;» 2- PI,AI NDKALKtl - WI DNFSDAY. OCTOBER 18, lt78 Wonder Lake Anne Sowers 653-9549 \ 1 "Hard Act To Follow" Says Correspondent Actors and comedians always talk about hard acts to follow, and that's the way I feel about writing this column after Mary Jean Huff has had it for so many years I have enjoyed hei style of writing, as I'm sure all of her readers have, and will miss her "Happiness Is " There is no way that I. or anyone else, could continue in the same way as she did; but I'm going to try in my way to be your correspondent to the McHenry Plaindealer I have lived in Wonder Lake since I was five years old; so I feel I know the lake and its residents fairly well I feel very strongly that our community has a lot to offer and am pleased to have the opportunity to report to the McHenry Plaindealer readers all the fun happenings and our accomplishments I will be eager to receive your telephone calls, or if you would rather, just drop me a note telling me what you would like in the paper BOWLING PARTY On Saturday, Oct. 28. beginning at 9.30 p.m., the Women's club of Wonder Lake is holding a Candlelight bowling party in Woodstock Sandwiches and salads will be served after the bowling is completed There will be prizes and even a few surprises. Part of the proceeds from the bowling party will go into the Scholarship fund Tickets can be obtained from any club member FLEA MARKET The Wonder Woods Women's club is making final plans for a Flea market to be held Saturday, Oct 21, from 9 a m to 4 p m It will take place on the grounds of the Hilltop Grocery store People from the area will be exhibiting and selling their products with the rental space fee going to the Wonder Woods Women's group This money will then be used for things needed in and throughout the subdivision such as the beautiful sign at the entrance to the subdivision, which was paid for by this ladies group. Today is the deadline for reserving a space, so make sure you call Marge Evans WEEKEND TRIP Now that the weather has cooled off and it's not quite as much fun to be spending time out on a boat or watching the children swim, many Wonder Lakers have been taking off for some long weekends. The Joe Sullivan family recently spent some time visiting the University of Wisconsin. Since Pat graduated from that school, it was fun for her and her family to return for the Homecoming festivities. Really, if the truth was known, it served as a brain­ washing trip also. The Jay Cristy family have Joe Sullivan, Jr., pretty well convinced that the University of Illinois is the school to attend when he graduates from Marian Central I can imagine that during the stay in Wisconsin, some of the alluring spots of the university were pointed out All's fair in love and picking out a school to attend' CAMPING WEEKEND The Lenny Spencer family ventured out for Door county to try out their new camper Their neighbors, the Gary Reinhardts, also accompanied them in their camper They stayed in a state forest that had the shores of Lake Michigan on one side and Green Bay on the other side Besides taking a two and one- half-hour hike Saturday and another two hour hike Sunday, they visited Cherie Spencer's Aunt Cora who has been in a nursing home since last winter. The amazing fact about this lady is that until her con­ finement in the home after the removal of a toe because of poor circulation, she had been taking care of herself and her own home. Maybe that doesn't seem surprising until you hear that this coming March she witi turn 106 years old. Cherie says she is still as sharp as a tack, even remembering Cherie's children's names and ages, though they only see her once a year. Sunday, the Spencers and Reinhardts visited one of the many apple orchards in the area and picked their own apples. The whole trip was very relaxing and even Lenny, who is not one with the camping spirit, said it was terrific. P - , T PUNT, PASS, AND KICK WINNER Chris Rini of Highland Shores, recently took first place in the ten-year-old division in the local contest of the Punt, Pass, and Kick contest Now he competes in the McHenry county contest in Crystal Lake. Hopefully Chris will be competing during half time at one of the Chicago Bear's games if he continues to win in the local contests. SPECIAL DAYS Oct 14 was a happy day for Jim and Mary Kay Etten.

The Bicentennial Dancc theatre, a non-profit dance troupe, is well known in the northern Illinois area for its regular high quality per­ formances. and is based in McHenry county.

License Plates Legally : Displayed After Dec. 1 Secretary of State Alan J. Dixon today cautioned motorists receiving new 1979 multi-year license plates that Dec. 1 is the first day the plates may be displayed legally. Dixon also advised persons transferring passenger car registrations after receiving 1979 plates to keep their validation sticker with the plates. "Many motorists applying for transfer of vehicle registration are returning their sticker with the ID card." Dixon said. "The sticker stays with the plates "The sticker should be af­ fixed to the rear plate when you put your plates on your automobile after next Dec. 1," he said. Dixon emphasized that stickers are attached to the backs of ID cards when plates are mailed from Springfield Dixon also cautioned against: , 1.) Throwing away the ID card <and sticker) when receiving new plates 2.) Returning stickers because the number doesn't match the license plate num­ ber The number on the sticker is an inventory control number and is not supposed to match the plate No Seconds To err is human-but it takes a better excuse the second time. -Record, Columbia, S.C.
