PAGE 2 • PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. MARCH 7, ltft <zA/lo±tCy i McHenry Senior Citizens OCLCLL !Begin To "Think Spring 99 J Grandmothers Club Holds Fund-Raiser McHenry Grandmothers club, charter 826, will have its annual card party and dessert luncheon March 13 at 12:30 p.m. in the parish hall of St. Patrick's church, 3500 W. Washington street, McHenry. Tickets may be purchased from members or at the door, the day of the card party. The philanthropies for the year are the Rehabilitation center no. 1 for the han­ dicapped in McCullom Lake; three rescue squads, McHenry, Wonder Lake and Johnsburg; and the FISH organization. Projects for the National Federation, sponsored by this club, are the Haven fund, the Logopedics institute of Wichita, Kas., and the March of Dimes. Even though there is still snow on the ground, the McHenry Senior Citizen&club, it its Feb. 26 meeting, began discussion of its spring and summer calendar of events. The annua'l Spring Smorgasbord is scheduled for Monday, May 14, at West Campus cafeteria, and tickets for this event will be available shortly. Also, the annual club picnic, which will be held Saturday, July 14, will take place at the Johnsburg Com­ munity grounds. The sewing group will begin work again in May. Alice Wilke, chairlady, advised that there are a total of 1,030 lap robes, 943 bibs and 209 bed shirts which have been made by the group. Mrs. Virginia Nix received considerable interest when she mentioned the proposed bus- luncheon trip to see the Wayne King performance at the Saber room, Wednesday, May 2. Many members hope to dance again to live Wayne King music. Bowling chairman, Frank Giel, reported satisfaction with the participation, and will welcome any new bowlers. Call him for information. Members of the Willing Workers committee are asking for donations of bleach bottles, and Christmas or greeting cards. Sylvia Grayson has particulars. In order to give all members an equal chance to sign up for various trips and activities, the membership was in favor of making it necessary for members to come to the meetings to make reservations and get their tickets, as was done in the past. It is not fair for someone to sign up and reserve places for a large number of persons who do not attend the meetings, particularly when only one bus is involved. There is usually a waiting list when reservations are filled, and in case of cancellations, those on the waiting list are taken in rotation. When it is necessary to cancel a reser­ vation, please notify Ruth Fradell as soon as possible, so she can make replacements from the waiting list. Deposit is still being accepted on the Covered Bridges trip. Happy birthday and happy anniversary were sung to members celebrating these events, and especailly to one couple celebrating their six­ tieth anniversary. The executive committee is now meeting at the McHenry Public library. The next meeting of the executive committee is Monday, March 5 at 10 a.m. The next meeting of the McHenry Senior Citizens club will be Monday, March 12 at 7:30 p.m. at West campus cafeteria. SUSAN M. D'HOOGHE ENGAGED - Mr. and Mrs. Parnell D'Hooghe, Grosse Pointe, Mich., have announced the engagement of their daughter, Susan Marie, to Richard Walter Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Smith, Church street, Johnsburg. The bride-elect is a graduate of Aquinas college and is teaching in Grand Rapids. The prospective groom is also a graduate of Aquinas college and, at present, is employed by the Department of Labor in Lansing. Plans are being made for a late June wedding. LOWV Studies County Land Use Ordinance Although the zoning hearings have been concluded, and the county board is in the process of revising the proposed amendment to the McHenry county Land Use ordinance, much speculation continues on this important local issue. As a service to the public and as a continuing education for its members, the Land Use" committee of the Woodstock- McHenry League of Women Voters is presenting its final meeting of the local league's study on land use in McHenry county. The session will take place on Thursday, March 8 at 9:30 a.m. at St. Paul's Episcopal church in McHenry. The focus of this particular unit will be the background of the proposed amendment to the 1946 Land Use ordinance of McHenry county, and any revisions of this amendment which have been suggested. Committee members include Cindy Swartzloff, Jill Theis, Rita Gealow, Janet Brown and Jean Geister. The Woodstock-McHenry League of Women Voters is a non-partisan organization which promotes the informed and active participation of citizens in government. All unit meetings are open to the public, and babysitting is available at a nominal fee. Renewing Love New Course To Start March 12 A new class, Renewing Love, designed to make marriage and home life better, will have its start with an introductory tape March 12 at 7:30 p.m. at Faith Presbyterian church. All are welcome to attend. A small fee will be collected for materials. More details are available by calling Mrs. Randall (Melody) Rodiek or Mrs. John (Jeri) Enrick. • Wood furniture, particularly the kind with ornate carving, comes clean quickly with a dusting brush touch-up. Vac­ uuming works better than an untreated dust cloth, which scatters dust, or a treated one, which misses crevices. Baked Fries Since french fries foil calorie- counters, try this: Cut a baking potato into strips the size of french fries, place on a greased cookie sheet in one layer and bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Each piece should develop a brownish crust that's as crunchy as french fries but much lower in calories. Toss with salt, pepper and a little melted butter prior to serving. McHENRY koilNTRY •CLUB!

Underneath a juicy layer of ripe cherries in Cherry Special* Pie is a delicate filling of sweetened cream cheese combined with whipped dessert topping. The airy cheesecake-like filling is poured into the crust and frozen until just before serving time. That's when you add the luscious cherry layer. For those who like pie crusts that are easy to prepare, yet a little out of the ordinary, you've found a winner here. The crunchy crust is a clever concoction of corn flakes, melted chocolate and butter that's pressed into place in thejwe pan while still warm. CHERRY SPECIAL PI 8 to 10 servings 1/4 cup butter or margarine 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup corn syrup 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels 2 cups corn flakes packages (3 oz. each) cream cheese, softened 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 package (2 oz.) dessert topping mix 1/2 cup chopped pecans, optional 1 can (1 lb. 5 oz.) cherry pie filling Melt butter, corn syrup and chocolate morsels together in 3-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in corn flakes until well coated. Gently press mixture into buttered 9-inch pie plate to form crust. (As mixture cools, it handles easier and stays in place.) Chill. Combine softened cream cheese, sugar and vanilla, mixing until well blended. Prepare dessert topping mix as directed on package. Fold dessert topping and pecans, if desired, into cheese mixture. Pour into crust and freeze. Before serving, top with cherry pie filling. For easier cutting, let stand in refrigerator 30 minutes. • A well-stocked, centralized cleaning center is the hurried housecleaner's best friend.
