\ SECTION 2 - PAGE 2 - PLAINDRALER - WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 7. 1878 Jolinsbu r« Mary L. Gunderson 385 3052 Seventh Graders Visit Weekly At Area Nursing Home Three different students from St. John's seventh grade visit Carestoel Professional Care center, McHenry, each Wed­ nesday, bringing treats for the residents, entertaining them in various ways and helping to bring some thoughtfulness to them. This is a very com­ mendable practice, and we hope that they will continue this good work. Presently, with all the bad weather we are having, their regular family and friends have not been able to visit them as usual; so we know these visits from the students must brighten their days. We should all keep in mind our friends who are living in nursing homes and -those confined to their own homes because of illness, and try our best to visit them, run errands for them and pray for them. It makes a pleasant Sunday af­ ternoon visit to stop by, and they especially enjoy seeing little children and infants. The effort on our part can be little, but the enjoyment to them will pay us a hundred fold and serve to teach our children to be kind and considerate of our older citizens. GIRLSCOUTS Troop 480, who meet at Bush school, finished the year by caroling at McHenry hospital, and by preparing a gift package for a senior citizen. The new year started off with a joint meeting with their sister troop, junior Troop No. 88, Johnsburg, and with Cadet Troop No. 1, McHenry, who entertained them along with Troop 150, St. John's. The girls enjoyed the baton twirling, disco dancing, acrobatic display and their musical talents. Planned for Troop 480 is a trip to a McHenry restaurant on Feb. 6, for an afternoon meeting. TRIP TO EUROPE High school students, eighth graders and their parents, interested in a trip to Germany and several European capitals, are invited to attend a brief meeting and see a short film at the Johnsburg Junior high, Wednesday, Feb. 7 at 8 p.m. For additional information, call 385^6210. Several of our Johnsburg area children are already enrolled in this program, which includes living with German families during a two-week enrollment at the University of Konstanz. A veteran teacher from Johnsburg will ac­ company our boys and girls. The American Institute for Foreign Study agency is handling all details. REPORT CARDS Today, Wednesday, Feb. 7, is the evening for parent con­ ferences, for students of Johnsburg high school. SWEETHEARTDANCE St. John's Home and School association invites every one to join them at the Johnsburg community club, Saturday, Feb. 10. 8:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. There will be a free Cupid buffet. Tickets may be secured from St. John's students and at the door. HOME AND HOSPITAL Remember in your prayers, Eric Kuhlins, George Mecko, John Mund, Edward Marczyk, Dorothy Jenkins and Margaret Piker.

Skating and sledding are on the agenda, with pizzas afterward! Keep this date open on your calen­ dar, girls, for a night of good fun. SYMPATHY -to the family of Virginia Pitzen, Johnsburg, who passed away suddenly, Monday, Jan. 29. She was a lifetime resident of the Johnsburg area, president of St. Agatha Court 777, National Society of Foresters, a member of St. John the Baptist parish, and the Blessed Virgin Mary sodality. ...and to the family of Mary Jane Elliot, Johnsburg, who died Jan. 25, a thirty-year resident of the area, and a member of St. John's parish. Keep in your prayers, too. Rev. Arthur McKay, pastor of St. Paul's Episcopal church, McHenry, who died Monday, Jan. 29. x . Also, our sympathy to Sharon Watson, a parishioner of St. John's parish, and her family, on the death of her father, Charles Kretsah, who died Jan. 20. ST . JOHN 'S SCHOOL Soup labels are being saved by pupils and families for audio-visual equipment for St. John's school. Over 11,000 are required for a new item, of which 5100 labels have been accumulated. If you have students on your block, ask them to take the labels to school for you, or you can place them in an envelope and put them in the Sunday collection basket. If we all cooperate, it will be easy to get together the 5000 necessary before the deadline.

" "Since he threatened to fire me! A® "Care Enough To Learn" is the slogan of the February Alcohol Awareness month campaign sponsored by the Family Service and Com­ munity Mental Health Center for McHenry County. "The purpose of the month," according to Karl Koch, alcoholism program counselor for the center, "is to educate Charge Your Groceries With • Master Charge * Visa-O.K. McHenry county about alcohol- the myths, the facts and the dimensions." Alcoholism has long been recognized as a disease by the American Medical association. It is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Only heart disease and cancer have higher death rates. Alcoholism is also the number one drug problem. "It is America's most un­ treated but treatable disease," says Koch. Nearly half of all alcoholics are women and as many as one- half million may be teens. There are approximately 940,000 alcoholics in Illinois. As coordinator of the awareness campaign, Koch has scheduled several programs during the month starting with the Feb. 1 broadcast on Station WIVS, Crystal Lake, from 10 to 11 a.m. on the subject, "Alcoholism Awareness Month." For further information about alcoholism or to request a speaker for a community group, contact Mary Kay Messling, the center's com­ munity consultation and education program coordinator at 385-6400.

In mailing a gift, such as a box of candy, it's advisable to ask the retailer to package it for mailing, Postmaster Smith said. Candy, particularly, should be mailed in a close- fitting, corrugated box to protect the contents from the rigors of a winter trip and possible damage. Many retailers offer special mailing containers, or will package the gift and arrange for mailing. Valentine mailings bring a surge in February mail volumes. The exchange of valentine greetings is second only to Christmas and New year greetings, according to the greeting card manufac­ turers, but they say Mother's day and Easter cards are catching up. Postmaster Smith advised mailers to be on the safe side and mail the seasonal cards earlier than usual this year to allow for possible tran­ sportation delays resulting from this year's extreme winter weather in this part of the county. , Last minute mailers, however, can take advantage of a special service available at the Elgin post office. It's the postal service's new express mail, which guarantees overnight delivery in more than 1,000 cities across the county. Messages and packages weighing up to 70 pounds may be sent by express mail from selected post offices as late as 5 p.m. Feb. 13 for delivery by 3 p.m. on the day that has been celebrated by lovers for many centuries. SECTION 2-PAGE3-PLAINDF.AI.KK-WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 7. 1»7S, Those intending to use ex­ press mail should call the post office at 312-741-0725 for rates, schedules and other details, the postmaster suggested. He also reminded mailers to make sure they have full and correct addresses, including zip code and return address, and to apply proper postage. It's a good idea when mailing a package to include a destination and return address inside the parcel as well as outside. %\\v CHURCH SERIES The Unity church of Crystal Lake is presenting a 6-week series of classes entitled "Open Your Mind to Prosperity" starting at 8 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 20, at 3 Chalet drive, Crystal Lake, located at the intersection of Routes 31 and 14.

And many unusual- looking kinds may flourish on coffee tables, on the floor, suspended from a hanger-in almost any setting that suits the decor. Take bromeliads tor example Prized for its variegated foliage, the blushing Bromeliad (Neoreglia Carolinae 'Tricolor') sports long thick spiky leaves striped in red and two tones of greet. H puts out a single red flowei shaped like a thistle. 'A no- would ever guess it is related to the pineapple. another bromeliad" One of the most dramatic and decorative species is the Siiver Vase (Aechmea fasciata), a taller plant with silvery-grey green foliage. After two or three years when it has fully matured, it bears a spectacular dusty pink flower, sure to drew interest for several months. Though the plant dies af­ terward, it puts out one or more off-shoots from which you can start new plants Among the 15 or so bromeliads are ones large enough to be displayed on the floor (such as the two men tioned) and others better suited as table decorations. They require only that one keep the natural cup their leaves form filled with water and mist them frequently. Place them near bright light. Dramatic large house plants can act as architectural devices for dividing a living room from a dining area. The lush Schefflera (Brassai ac- tinophylla) has shiny dark green leaves shaped like umbrellas which create a jungle-like atmosphere. Keep Schefflera healthy with warm temperatures (above 60 degrees F) and by allowing soil surface to dry out between waterings. Because it requires only diffused, light, it can function perfectly as - a decorative divider away from windows in a large room. If there is concern about saving floor space, hanging plants can be your best friends Besides, leaves and branches cascading from decorative pots cradled in macrame hangers gracefully soften hard corners around windows. A bushy hanging plant hat only recently has come into popularity is Columnea (Flying Goldfish). The small, pointed leaves vary from medium to dark green to bronze and reddish brown. The tubular flowers shaped like goldfish may be velvety red, orange or yellow. Columnea needs strong light in order to produce its delicate flowers. Keep soil evenly moist. Don't let the room temperature plunge below 55 degrees F These plants are available at most flower shops. Florists can advise on how to care for and display out-of-the ordinary house plants to give your home luxuriance all its own.
