r~2 1 C i Remembering When ' %: '5 V. MR. AND MR8.° LEO J. FREUND For Mr. and Mrs. Leo Freund of Johnsburg, the things they remember most were the things that never made the news but were important all the same. v (with long time subscribers) Living across the street from Crescent Bay Landing on the Fox river, the Freunds remember when they lived at the restaurant site itself. "Living (Mi the river, the big news was when the Gladini and the Gladiola would move Up the Fox river past the house," Mrs. Freund said. "They were about the only boats on the river during that time, except for a small putt-putt now and then." According to Leo Freund, who worked construction for Frett before starting his 50 year-old painting business, fish and turtle could be seen as "clear as day" at the bottom of the river from the bridge. "We'd go fishing at eight in the morning and have , enough for dinner that night by 9 a.m.," Freund quipped The big spots for entertainment Airing the depression were Nell's Ballroom (where Ray's Bowling alley is now located) and the Old Fox, another dance hall on Lincoln road in McHenry. "Of course we couldn't afford the five-cent beer or 10-cent admission, so we worked in the cloak room to pay our admission," Mrs Freund said. In even earlier days, riding the horse and buggy into McHenry high school was commonplace. Mrs. Freund left Johnsburg at 7 a.m. to get to school by 8:45. "I was a sophomore when East campus opened," she said. "It was a big thrill after going to Landmark during my first year." Each and every one of the McHenry area people who answered and gave items recently which were needed by many should be com­ mended: A circle of generous people, holding hands and working together has made it all possible.

PAGE S - PLA1NDEALEE - FRIDAY. JUNE It, ltM Oleander The oleander originated in the Mediterranean area and is grown outdoors in warm south- em states and indoors as pot­ ted plants in the colder cli­ mate. TJjpe oleander blooms freely in* clusters all summer in various colors and have long, slender, willowy, upright,, branches. For an attractive display, they can be trained to grow flat against a support such as a trellis, wall, or rail­ ing. Oleanders require a mod­ erately warm environment with full sunlight and will thrive in ordinary garden soil. Keep the soil moist by water­ ing regularly during the grow­ ing season. Cuttings taken in the sum­ mer months, after most of the flowers have died off can be rooted in a glass of water. After the cuttings have rooted, pot them in small containers. Repot in the next size larger when necessary. For bushy plants, prune the side growth. Potted oleanders should have water added daily to the saucer beneath the pot, to keep the soil moist at all times. All parts of the oleander plant are poisonous and should be kept out of the reach of small children or pets.
