I'm sure Dad would appreciate taking the family out for a hearty breakfast at prices that won't leave the old wallet flat. There are speciallMce tickets for children and Sentoj citizens. Plans are in the making for the Christmas party for the children in our community. Reservations will be taken at the pancake breakfast and at the next women's club meeting that will be held at the Com­ munity house Nov. 8. Those will be the only two days for reservations. The Lakeland Park Property Owners association meeting that would be held on Nov. 1 is going to be held on Nov. 4, a Sunday, at 8 p.m. All who are interested are invited to attend this meeting.

There are plans for starting the renovation of the inside, and they finally are going to pave the parking lot. The lights on beaches are again working and all playground equipment has been repaired.

It started as a normal, quiet, McHenry area mailers who need a reliable way to get important material overseas fast now can get overnight or second day mail delivery to 14 foreign countries, Postmaster LeRoy Smith said this week. International express mail, an extension of the U.S. Postal Services's deomestic expedited express mail delivery service, has been made possible through arrangements between the postal service and 6 the postal administrations of Australia, Belgium, Bermuda, Brazil, Canada, France, Hong Kong, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and northern Ireland) and West Germany. . Postmaster Smith said two types of international service are offered in most of the countries--"custom designed" service providing a delivery timetable that meets requirements of mailers on a fixed mailing schedule, and "on demand" service for those who do not have regular shipments. International express mail offers document reconstruction insurance up to $50,p00 without added cost. While weight limitations vary, Japan accepts up to 10 pounds, Canada up to 44 pounds, and Brazil up to 50 pounds. Other nations in the accept up to 33 network pounds.

Area residents can get overnight delivery to more than 750 U.S. cities.

It started with a few problems with the children's hamsters, then her Mother had an accident at home and had to be taken to the hospital. Then Michael came home with an injury to his hand and Dad Joel, had to take Michael to the emergency room. Carol's company started arriving for her T-shirt party during all these little emergencies and Carol tried keeping her cool. Luckily, daughters Jamie and Lisa , remained healthy and were able to enjoy Mom's party and the Cominsky family was quite happy when the day ended. Our wishes may be late, but happy birthday, Carol! BE CAREFUL With dusk coming each day earlier and earlier, please be careful of children returning home from friends' houses. The children are worried about the approaching darkness, and do not pay that close attention to the cars passing by. So, motorists, please be careful when you see the children. GET WELL Many people in the area are down with the flu. We hope that you get well soon. In fact one person who has been very ill is Karen Aldrich, the other columnist. A short "things are going to get better" to Anne. GHOULS AND GOBLINS Halloween is fast ap­ proaching and all the children are thinking of what they want to be for Halloween. Parents, please give your children some guidance as to what they should wear for safety: no masks that restrict their sight; a flashlight, if they plan on trick or treating at dusk or after ; and reflective strips or light colored costumes. It is also very helpful if everyone would light their entryways to prevent the children from falling. Just think, after Halloween, Thanksgiving is fast ap­ proaching and then you have the biggest holiday of all to prepare for Christmas. Good Luck! Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.) an in­ ternationally known and valued program for parents and adults working wttf yoytff, opened a class locally Tuesday, Oct. 23. Parents today are being blamed but are seldom trained. P.E.T. is a basic course in how to help raise responsible Shriners McHenry county is fortunate to have many dedicated in­ dividuals and groups whose purpose it is to assist those in need. One such group is The McHenry county Shrine mini- bike groug^-V4 This gfoup was formed in 1972 by 12 area men who wanted to raise money for the Shriners' Crippled Children's hospital by renting themselves out for area parades. In this way all parade monies would be used to help someone less fortunate as well as to allow the group to communicate its desire to help all children in need. Members include George Cina, Donald Clark, Sam Reidl, Peter Hastings and Dale Pitts of McHenry; Mario Aroso of Crystal Lake; Vernon Peterson of Richmond; Jeff Johnson of Marengo and George Rouzeau of Trevor, Wis. The McHenry County Shrine Mini-bike group is completely self-supporting. Each man Invests his own money in his bike, his uniform and tran­ sportation, as well as unit support. In that way any community that makes a donation for parade par­ ticipation is assured that 100 percent of the money goes to help a needy child. The slogan of the unit is, "We play so they can walk". children to give parents the skills tfiey need for the world's hardest job-parenthood. P.E.T. is a method, not a collection of rules. The special set of skills taught via the method of P.E.T. helps families resolve conflicts between parent and child so that both can feel satisfied and both are willing to communicate With each other. t* The course runs eight con­ secutive Tuesdays, from 7 to 10 p.m. at the United Methoidst church, 3717 West Main street, McHenry. For more information, call 385-0931. \ 4-K NEWS 1 For Children Recently, the unit had an op­ portunity to "play" at the Midwest Shrine ceremonial held in Chicago. The unit joined with the iTebala Temple of Rockford and 21 other temples for competitive maneuvers and a parade on Michigan avenue. The competition was held at Soldier's field Sept. 21. It consisted Of a full military inspection, conducted by the Chicago Police department, precision maneuvers, and running a timed obstacle course. This was the first time the unit had an opportunity to compete with other units and understandably their ex­ pectations were not very high for success. The competition was based on a point system in each of the three categories. When the final judging was complete, the mini-bike unit had earned second place trophies in each category. The group missed first place in inspection by 3.86 points and first in drill by only 4 points. The unit takes a great deal of pride in being Masons and Shriners, but this is only a small part of the satisfaction they receive for their dedication and hard work. The real pride and satisfaction comes when a child says "thank you" with a smile or when a parent, unable to fully express himself simply shakes their hand. ( This unit knows that, even with all their effort, without the support of the community they cannot reach their goals. However, with this support and with the continued efforts of these men all things are possible. Anyone who knows of a crippled child in need is urged to contact a Shriner. He will do anything possible to meet that need. Sponsor Spook House To live is to function. That is all there is in living. -O.W. Holmes II.
