Remembering When (with long time subscribers) Nutri-Bird At Fair PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. APRIL 25, 1M0 Offer Daffodil Walk - - - HERMAN KREUTZER They are treasured memories that are recalled by Herman kreutzer when asked to remember earlier days in McHenry. The family came here from Chicago in 1919, just after World War I. First it was Herman Kreutzer, Sr., who found employment at the Hunter Boat Co., where not only boats, but also phonographs were made. Later the family joined him. Herman recalls that the local firm shipped not only throughout the United States but also sent its products out of the country. First it was the single spring windup phonograph, and later the triple spring, which allowed one to play three or four records without winding. The Kreutzer home was on John street, which became vacant through the death of its owner, one John Brent, a popular and highly respected black custodian for the McHenry school. Herman, Sr., was an alderman representing the west side of the city. "My father never wanted to be mayor," Herman -said, recalling the elder Kreutzer's explanation, "I can't fight for the rights of the people as mayor." With a smile, he remembers the bobsled ride with Bob and Carl Weber, George Thurlwell and "Huppie" Schoewer. The sled tipped and Herman suffered a gash that required the services of the doc, who took several stitches to repair the damage. Herman also remembers when McHenry was the only city in the nation with two first class post offices. He was a member of the fire department with the Bickler "boys" and remembers the time the truck crashed on the old bridge and hit the railing. Old recollections also bring to mind streets in the city that were completely mud every Spring. And he remembers when the Schaefer brothers - Ambrose, Herman and another whose name escaped him ~ carried mail to the post office from the depot and delivered all of the express. Memories included his days with a baseball team that played in the Millstream area, with the late Walter Freund, who was sightless, as manager. "Walt could tell when anyone had too much home brew," Herman reminisced. And he remembered that anyone who violated the rules was penalized for the infraction. His last recollection was of the old clay hole on Center street, near his home, where youngsters would gather to swim in summer and skate in winter. It was a dangerous spot, and parents gave strict orders to their offspring to "stay away" when a child drowned after sliding into the water from the muddy bank. The spot has since been established as a small city park. The Plaindealer has been read by the Kreutzers since the 1919 day they moved to McHenry. The Goldman family has announced that the Joslyn Woods Daffodil walk will be held again this year and is open to the general public. The Goldmans, in cooperation with the McHenry County Con­ servation district, will open the two-mile walk from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. April 26 and 27, and again May 3 and 4. The area offers many wildflowers and native and ornamental trees, but the main attraction is 100,000 blossoms of over 175 varieties of daffodils. Visitors should wear comfortable walking shoes and park either at the Mason Hill road entrance or along Valley Hill road. The site is located south of the junction of Valley Hill road and Mason Hill road. * * * * Some of the puzzles of life confound us, but we're always able to find someone who knows all the answers.

Robel of John- sburg Community school district has again been chosen by the American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS) of Greenwich, Conn., to accompany a small group of high school students to Europe. This year's trip is called "Traditions of England", and is open to high school students from 14 to 18 years. For three weeks students will live on the campus of the University of Exeter in c Mr. and Mrs. Paul Heber of McHenry announce the birth of a son, Phillip Jason.

In the mornings, classes are available in literature, history, creative writing, architecture, art and music. Transcripts are awarded for satisfactory completion of classes which may usually apply for credit at American high schools. Afternoons and evenings will be free for touring and ex­ ploring the lovely English countryside. There are many fascinating excursions to be made from Exeter. This is the area of Exmoor and the famous Lorna Doone. Plymouth is nearby and is a must for American visitors. Legends link nearby Corn­ wall with King arthur and his knights. And, of course, Exeter itself has a famous cathedral and Roman ruins. A trip to Shakespeare Country, Stratford-on-Avon is also planned. For their final two weeks, the group will visit Brussels, Amsterdam, Paris and Rome. Sightseeing includes visits to Anne Frank's House, rides on the canals of Amsterdam, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame in Paris and the Colosseum to name just a few. And of course, free time for shopping! Mrs. Robel has ac­ companied student groups for several years. This particular type of trip is one she highly recommends because "we stay in one area long enough to absorb some of the culture along with our studies and still have time for travel." Space is still available for a few students. A meeting will be held and a film will be shown for interested students and parents at Johnsburg Junior high at 7:30 p.m. April 30. For further information, call Mrs. Robel at 385-1776. AIFS is the oldest student travel organization; it has arranged foreign study programs for nearly 200,000 SMALL PACKAGES?
