STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Sometimes it's easier to charge for a service than to give it away Valley View neighborhood Girl Scouts (in the McHenry area) learned this fact of life about their fellow humans when they engaged in a holiday gesture of ap­ preciation to the public for helping them throughout the year. Representing the various age levels of Girl Scouting, troop members set up their stand in an inside area between stores in the Market Place and offered hot coffee to tired shoppers on Thur­ sday. "Are you advertising coffee?" one gentleman asked as he took the preferred cup a bit reluc­ tantly. "What's the catch"? another questioned. The only answer the Giri Scouts could give as they followed their promise of truthfulness was that they wanted to share their holiday spirit as they ex­ pressed their appreciation. . The public responded very well, and there were several offers of donations to the Giri Scouts, which they were unable to accept. The second shift en­ countered difficulties when a fuse blew and the girls had to accompany the offer of coffee with an explanation that,"It's just lukewarm". Leaders expressed a desire to take on the same project next year,but with b e t t e r a d v a n c e preparation.Also, they want to have tea for. non-coffee drinkers.

Grandma Sez • • • -- - A" ~ There's somethin' been a ol' t^n-year-ol', Illinois Star, eatiri' at this ol' lady's mind cfrmqme mind, havin' giv'n f'r a long spell. Seems t' us this granny some excitin' elders, that th' rapid growth moments, in those days, o' emphasis on a lot o' Now.sports 're fine, as ye things, impertinent t' th' c'n see is me theory, but development o' th' in- when Ithey b'come so im- telligehceo' th' human race, portant that they interrupt has b'come more -important th' family circle, th' basic than 'is healthy f'r real d edication, which b'comes progress. more important day by day, One o'tKesethfngs is th' .s- an monopolizes th* entire way sports has taken o'er. * This granny has beeri a&no' - • -r- •;J most sports, all me life, . .*• havin' been captain 0" th' viewin' enjoyment 0' a Sunday afternoon, me thinks it has gone too far, an' b'come too important. Ill grant ye, seems t' be, there hain't enough work jobs t' keep th' young folk busy, these days, an' it may be good f r some, but th* few, involved in th' games, doesn't relieve th' sitiation t' a degree that it b'comes th' most important curicular involvment, in order t' gradiate. Parents c'n control th' entire picture, an' they seem t* do just that, wi' en- couragin' th' int'rest at an early age. Maybe it ain't so healthy as they think. Grandma Radtke ta Visited Party girl's soft-ball tean^, way back in" senventh grade. Base-ball has kept me en­ tertained, via me ol' radio, e'er since I was a bride, a do in' me house-work, an' me ol' gas-iron ne'er kept me ironin' board warm, wi'out a ball-game on th' broadcast, many years ago. Me vocal chords got a workout at th' higihi-school foot-ball games, an' as me young grandsons grew up, basket-ball games had me daughter a hangin' on t' me carcas, so's I'd not fall of th' stands. One o' me greatest joys was a day at Wrigley Field. *• An' many a fine horse race had me jumpin' up an' down, especially when me friends had a good bet down, as this granny ne'er indulged in that part, an' as I sit here th' names 0' a darlin', two-year- old, Dusky Devil, an' a fine Claus appeared just as the ladies were finishing their dinner at the annual Christmas dinner party of the Lakeland Park Women's club, and he received a very warm welcome. The jovial gentleman distributed grab bag gifts to the thirty women in at­ tendance and also assisted handing out gifts from "Secret Pals". Everyone nejoyed the opportunity to visit, and the exclamations of pleasure made it very evident that the gifts were a delight. The next meeting of the club will be Thursday, Jan. 10, at 7:30 p.m. at the Lakeland Park Community house, 1717 N. Sunset avenue. All ladies in Lakeland Park / and Lakeland Shores are most cordially > invited to attend.

Pop the fruit into a 250° F. oven for a few minutes before needed. The heat will soften lemon skin, thus making the squeeze more productive. • Put the sheep to sleep at last.
