r / ONt-PAGE X * PLAIN'DEALER^WKDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11. lt» Lakemoor-Lilymoor Margaret Karas f 385,4934 Ninety-Nine ' Is Still Young What do you say to your 99- year-old mother when you are 78, and she comes to your home to help you because you have so much to do? This is the situation Mildred Rowe finds herself in. Her mother, Louise Franz, still has her own apartment in McHenry, takes care of herself, and make plans as to what to do next year. Mildred calls her mother twice a day, and even if Mom on occasion can't hear her daughter because she is listening at the receiving end of telephone, they understand and love each other. There will be at least three birthday parties for Mrs. Franz during these weeks before her ninety-ninth birthday on Sept. 19, hosted by Mildred. .There will be a luncheon with a dear friend Shirley Kively, who takes Louise shopping one day a week and helps her in many ways, and two cousins. Another •luncheon will be enjoyed with two nieces and a nephew. A third party will be held on the sixteenth with a cousin and his wife. So Mrs. Franz will be starting her ninety-ninth year in style, and Mildred will have all those luscious foods to en­ joy. Mildred says her mother's claims to fame, outside of her longevity, is that when she was 22 years old, a doctor told her she would be able to live only six more months unless she had a special serum from Europe. It seems that doctor was in error, as now Mrs. Franz en­ joys talking to strangers with her opening remarks, "Hello. How are you? I am 99 years old." Bless you, Louise Franz, and enjoy many more happy and healthy years. RESCUESQUAD The call to the rescue squad Sunday, Sept. 2, brought two ambulances and one equipment truck to Lilymoor. The squad was called by the Mentzers, who had needed their services just three weeks ago. Neal Jones, Dottie and Jim's neigh­ bor, was cutting down a tree that was in danger of falling on the Mentzer house. While using a chain saw in the tree to cut off the heavy limb, a branch came down, caught the saw and continued cutting in Neal's leg: He never lost consciousness, and there was little bleeding, and was even able to kid with the rescue team. He was taken to the McHenry hospital, where he was in surgery for three hours. Thankfully, Neal is recuperating, and as no ten­ dons were cut, is up and walking. His wife Phyllis is grateful that it wasn't worse. Daughter Sherry was at the hospital evenings, and six-year- old Randy, who missed his father very much while he was hospitalized, is now very happy. Another "praise the Lord" time for us. To know there are neighbors who will literally go out on a limb for others, makes us proud to be a part of our community. SPECIAL VISIT Alma and Bud Hueckstaedt spent Labor Day weekend in Minocqua, Wis., with former Wonder Lake residents, Phil and Eleanor Mangold- The trip up On the thirty-first of August was pleasant, even though there was a rainstorm with hail. Knowing that Fred Svoboda, formerly of Lilymoor, was in a nursing home near Minocqua, Bud and Alma played detective and started calling in the area to find Fred.

LADIES NIGHT The Lily Lake Ladies League had its regular meeting last Wednesday. All the officers were present, so everything was in order. The Bunco playing resulted in three Mildreds winning the prizes: first, Nejedly, second, Nar- carti, and third, Boyd. Sophie Paterson won booby prize, perhaps because her name wasn't Mildred. Hostesses for the evening were Mildred Boyd and Emma Brzezinski. SUMMER VACATION OVER Young Anthony Gurske, with a splint on his leg, left O'Harr airport on a 727, on July 29, bound for New York City, to spend six exciting weeks with his "grandmother-by-choice", Mrs. Wight. Anthony took with him the Christmas presents that Mitzi had not mailed from last December. As long as the trip is being made, might as well save a little postage, even if the gifts are seven months late. Anthony fished in the Atlantic, visited Vernon Valley amusement Park in New Jersey spent time in Philadelphia, went to movies, saw the doctor twice with swimmer's ear and pink eye, and spent time at the Aquarium, where a friend of the family trains the dolphins, and is now going into the water to feed sharks. Anthony brought goodies back home for Skip, Mitzi and brother Robert. Among them were Jewish knish, three packages, of which two were devoured immediately, and Wise potato chips, neither of which can be purchased locally. Anthony had all these six weeks of summer fun and only spent $10. As Brooklyn Mitzi would say, "Wheh could you get a betta deal?" HEARTS AND FLOWERS September is a good month for weddings. Jim and Kathy Kelley celebrated theirs on the fifth. Sept. 10 marked the thirteenth year for Richard and Kathleen Gosell, a lucky one we hope. The thirteenth is Pat and Arden Heald's anniversary. Art and Prudie Huffman celebrate on the fourteenth, and wishes for happiness go to my twice- married husband, Bruno, on the same day. Larry and Bev Anderson were married on the sixteenth. September is a good month, yes? FISH STORY Jerry Weber had a lesson from son, Donald, when they went fishing with friends in Lake Como, Wis. Using spoons with pork frogs as bait, Jerry brought in ft three and a half pound bass, only to be topped by Donald's four and a half pounder. Donald and his brothers do a lot of practicing here in Lily Lake, and is now seems that student is doing better than teacher. Won't it be great when bass that big will again be caught in our lake? BIRTHDAY TIME Late happy day wishes go to Anita Kunz who celebrated her birthday on Sept. 5. Another active gal who added another year on the seventh was Lily Ann Baker, Patty Withrow s day vas the ninth, and the eleventh belonged to Heidi Hag-r. So if. 12 is Diane Kawell's bn y. A special wish for ha4 less goes to her, as she, has oeen a special person to us ever since her high school days, when East campus was the only high school, two or four year, in McHenry. Sept. 16 is shared by Fred Thornton and Ronald Freeman of Lakemoor. Sept. 17 is a popular date, with Laurie Johnson, Wayne Meyer and Sherill Weber sharing. Sherill is the gal who is now trail bike riding on Lily Lake road with passenger Mitzi Gurske. Motorists, beware! Mark Betancourt celebrates his day the eighteenth. May the days until your next birthdays be filled with joy and peace, j WEST VIRGINIA TRIP Eighty-two-year-old Elsie Behrendt of Lilymoor had a fast, exciting five day trip in her grandson's Suburban Carryall two weeks ago. They visited Elsie's former husband's family in Mingo, West Virginia, and also visited with a cousin, Mrs. Ware, who lives on the farm that has been in her family since Civil War days. A ninety-two-year old friend, Mrs. W.S. Belcher, in Huntington, Va., was another person who was happy with Elsie's visit. The trip was short, because Elsie's grandson had to be home in time to enroll in college. Elsie is now busy writing stories about her life. She has 13 great-grandchildren, and still Begin Draft Of State Corn Marketing Progran Agriculture Director John R. Block has named the tem­ porary committee which will draft a statewide corn marketing program and submit it to the state's corn growers in referendum. Under H.B. 903, passed by the General Assembly and signed by the governor during the State fair, the committee will write the program which would be funded by a quarter-cent-, per-bushel check-off collected at the elevator. Block said a public hearing would be held to get additional producer input and comments on the plan prior, to the referendum. The committee will also set the procedures for holding the referendum, he said. The dai Of the hearing will be nounced later. "Basically the temporar committee will be making plan for the best use of th nearly $2 million which th check-off would generate - ho\ much for market development how much for research, hov much for other kinds o promotion," Block said. "The they'll see if the rest of Illinois corn growers agree that thi money would be wisely spent "The men on the temporal committee are all successfu corn farmers. I think they wil come up with a first clas program." IN YOUR GARDEN Cauliflower - Cauliflower is sometimes a frustrating crop. It can try the patience of a saintly gardener. For those of* you who are considering ripping out your non-productive cauliflower plants, wait. They may still produce! Cauliflower often will not form heads until late August or .September. In my own garden, I har­ vested the first heads on Aug. 25 this year even though I transplanted them ' in the garden on April 15. But a three- pound head is worth the wait. Slugs - If slugs are giving you trouble this year you are not alone. But beware of using some plug baits in a vegetable garden. These chemicals should carry a warning on the takes care of herself in her own home. We will be reading more of this active lady's life very soon. COMMUNITY CALENDAR Sept. 12 - Lily Lake Con­ servation Club, Inc. - open meeting, 7:30, Lakemoor municipal building. Sept. 13 - Lakemoor village meeting, 8 p.m. - municipal building. Sept. 17 - free blood pressure reading - Lakemoor municipal building, 7 to 9 p.m. Nothing is impossible for people who don't have to do it themselves. / GOD BLESS in label to avoid use on vegetabl crops intended ,for con sumption. Always read chemical labels carefully. Garden dusts can be used fo slug control, particularly tomatoes. Cover the tomatoes with a dust such as Diazinon The moist body of the sna absorbs the chemical fairl readily. Allow the prope number of days to pass betwee chemical application an harvest. Rotting Tomatoes • Perhaps your tomatoes are rotting or the vine before they ripen. This is a common occurance weather such as we have hac this past month or more. A lack of calcium causes the rotting of tomatoes (often termed blossom end rot). Calcium cannot be absorbed in very dry or very we£ soil conditions. Drought causes the calcium to be immobile in the sod and plant because water necessary to dissolve the calcium. In extended periods of ex­ cessive soil moisture, such as we have had this August, the root system is damaged due to a lack of oxygen in the soil. This reduces the ability of the plant to absorb nutrients, including calcium. The solution this year is warm, dry weather to dry the garden.
