When J ... (with long time subscribers) STANLEY SCHAFFER In 1934, Stanley's father started the Little German band, in which Stanley, the Vycital brothers and a couple of others played. "We played church picnics at St. Mary's, Johnsburg, Spring Grove, Volo and Round Lake," Schaffer said. The Little German band also played at the opening of the McHenry Brewery. "We were playing on a platform and once in a while the steam would come pouring down out of the vats and we'd be completely clouded from the audience," Schaffer recalled". Schaffer was a carpenter, as was his father before him. Schaffer's father built the house on Waukegan street where Schaffer resides, in 1908. Recalling the blacksmith shop just down the road, at Green street, Schaffer said, "We never had to buy horseshoes, we'd ask and he'd say, 'Pick out what you need.'" Some nails from the shop, a little cork and a few feathers and the children could make darts. The McHenry Plaindealer has been a part of the Schaffer family for as long as Stanley can remember. "When I was studying the Civil War, Frank Schreiner said it was the 'Uncivil' War," Schaffer added with a smile. Schreiner was the owner and publisher of the Plaindealer in its early days when it was located on Green street, near Bolger's Drug store. PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29, If Grandma P. W.P. Holds Dance Twelve years ago, as this granny sits wi' pen in hand, introduction to me little letter, appeared in this publication. Many things ha' taken place since then, too numerous t' mention, an' th' world seems t' ha' taken a diff'rent face, a changed society exists in nearly ev'ry country. Somehow, it don't seem t' weigh so well, in th' minds o' many o' us, especially those o' us who've lived through many a hardship, an' seen a lot o' life, an' th' results that come from lack o'diligence on th' part o' those we trust t' guide our lives, through gover'ment. Many o' those, who had foresight, tried t' forewarn, •but folks seemed t' be bent on follerin' their own pur­ suits, gratifyin' their desires o' th' moment. They failed t' put th' right emphasis on th' needs o' th' moment. - Hence, many undesirable things h' grown, like weeds in a garden, t' smother out th' finer part o' social life, life all o'er this world. As is usually th' case, th' young an innocent 're •ictims.an' now, those we used t' classify, in that bracket, th' early teen-agers, an' sadest o' all th' pre-teeners, 're sufferin' from th' neglect o' adults, an lack o' diligence. This ol' lady remembers when it all began, at least when it began t' affect so many, an' younguns, b'gan t' show th' dire affects o' having' too much, too soon. Havin' had work, which took this elder into many homes, divulged th' unhappy state o' so many, an' in­ spired me pen t' try an' reach a few folk, who may take me writin's, from me own heart, an heed some o' th' warnin's. Young parents, who ne'er had th' proper upbringin', 're findin' it pretty hard t' know how t' keep th' reigns in hand, these days. Modern ideas ha' taken th' place o' th' ol'fashioned methods that turned out some fine men an' women, in days past. One doesn't ha't' look far, t' learn th' natural ways o' managin' offspring. Th' animals, birds, an' most o' all th' words in th' Bible teach us all we need t' know.
