«r-7 Remembering When (with long time subscribers.) MRS. CATHERINE MILLER The McHenry Plaindealer has been in the family since the turn of the century, according to Mrs. George (Catherine) Miller of McHenry. Mrs. Miller held in her hands a yellowed, slightly tattered issue of the McHenry Plaindealer, vintage 1900. P * "In the days when the men went away to World War 1, the Plaindealer was put out by three people, Frank and (Catherine Schreiner, the owners, and my mother, Loretta Walsh." Catherine said. "I used to run down Green street after school and watch my mother Writing away at her desk," she added with a smile. When she was married, the Plaindealer found its way into her Chicago home, and classroom. Mrs. Miller lived in Chicago for 31 years and her mother sent the paper there. "It kept me close to my roots," Catherine said. Catherine Miller still reads the Plaindealer with interest and especially enjoys keeping tabs on the City Council, the board of education, and the parishes. She particularly likes. the police column of Officer Fitzgerald. The happiest headline she remembered was when the Landmark school was saved, while the saddest was the passing of the Old Bridge. The most humorous was>the Musin' 'n Meaderin' column about the writer's trip to the dentist.

Has A Point "You say the marriage of those two movie stars is off?" "Sure is. They couldn't de­ cide whose name should be first on the wedding invita­ tions." Birthright recently held its eighth annual convention in Toronto, Canada. Tina Gorski, Alice Sullivan and Maureen Johnson from the local McHenry Birthright chapter attended, along with 300 representatives from the United States and Canada. "Because of the unity of spirit and the commitment of everyone gathered together in Toronto where Birthright began, it was just like going home," said Tina Gorski, assistant director of Birthright in McHenry. She explained that on one evening Louise Summerhill, founder of Birthright, took the volunteers through the sub­ ways of Toronto to visit Margarita House. This Bir­ thright office, a brick bungalow, is large enough to offer a room for a pregnant girl in need until a shelter home can be found for her. "Touring this house was one of the highlights of the con­ vention for me," said Maureen Johnson. "Seeing the progress that has been made in Toronto helped us to feel nothing is impossible in our striving to grow here in McHenry county. Louise Summerhill was warm and friendly to everyone. She seems a quiet woman, but is courageous in following through with her beliefs and convictions." Dr. Tom Verny lectured on the psychic life of the unborn and the very young. Other lectures were from professionals on counseling and communication techniques, as well as on medical aspects of pregnancy. Alice Sullivan summed up her feelings on the convention saying, "We can apply here in McHenry the knowledge we gained from the lectures and merely talking to other volunteers about their problems and solutions. The spiritual uplift we felt we hope will always carry over in our work with pregnant women who need Birthright's ser­ vices." For further information on Birthright, call 385-2999.

China Facts China occupies a landmass of about 3.7 million square miles in eastern Asia -- an area compar- - able to that of the United States. China shares a common border with the U.S.S.R., Outer Mon­ golia, Afghanistan, India, Nepal, Burma, Laos, and Viet­ nam. "Squaw," the term oftentimes used -- humorously or disparag­ ingly -- to refer to a woman or wife -- is a direct borrowing from the Massachuset dialect of the Algonquian Indian lang­ uage. "Squaw" originally meant any North American Indian woman. By Stanley James In the 16th Century, the traditionally isolationist Japa­ nese empire began a program of world conquest. Under the rule of former Gen. Hideyoshi, its military quickly captured most of Korea in a preliminary move aimed at eventual con­ quest of China. Later, the Japanese were repelled by Chinese forces and, after the death of Hideyoshi, aban­ doned their dreams. Hideyoshi's successor, Tokugawa Ieyasu, created early in the 17th century a harsh ruling dynasty, setting the stage for a rigid isolationist state, which prevailed into the mid-19th century. In July, 1853, Commodore Matthew Perry led an Amer­ ican naval armada into Tokyo Bay and delivered a letter from President Franklin Pierce calling for the opening of trade relations between the two countries. After waiting with his fleet in the nearby Ryukyu Islands for seven months, Perry came back to Tokyo Bay in February, 1854. The Japanese government, under pressure from its citi­ zens and from the presence of American guns, signed a treaty which opened vital Japanese ports to the United States and provided for a limited trade agreement. y A 5 cent postage stamp commemorating Perry's initial visit to Tokyo Bay, was issued by the United States in July, 1953. 5̂ .
