» \ Remembering When MR. AND MRS. GEORGE GLOSSON * ; . J Reading the Plaindealer for about 60 years now, George Glosson remembers when most of McHenry was a (with long time subscribers) farming community and he was dealing and trucking livestock to the stockyard in Chicago. His first new truck,which he used to haul livestock to the city, he bought for $800 from Overton's in McHenry. "We use to take them to the stockyard up on west 120 and ship them out by rail on every Sunday night," he said. He noted that as owner of five acres of land on 120, he was the first one to "plow it under". The land was near the farms of Magnus Nelson and the Wright brothers. As a youngster, George said he use to walk three miles to school each moraing from Sherman Hill when there was no Route 120 leading into McHenry. * As the Johnsburg farmers started to take business away for the McHenry farmers, George said he went into construction work with Tonyan and Ivar Fredrickson before retiring seven years ago. Gert Glosson met her husband on the Bill and Ethel Waldmen farm, located where the Volo Sales barn is today. She said that George use to come to load livestock at the farm and she met him on Thanksgiving day in 1940. She also remembered when her oldest daughter, Karen, (now Karen Hay of McHenry) was very ill in 1945 and Doctor Froehlich made a house call to Volo in which the medication and call cost wily $4.

IMC FISH Because of so many generous folks, we have been able to help many families recently with various items they needed for their homes. It is a happiness for them to receive for their use, necessities they are presently unable to buy for themselves, and a satisfaction for those who are able to fill their needs. At this time we are in need of two full-size mattresses, a single bed with spring and mattress, or a single bed frame, a wringer-type washing machine, a refrigerator and a lawn- mower. If you have either of these items to offer, please call FISH at 385-0258, and we will be in touch with you. Our Pantry, too, needs food. If you can help in this way, call FISH at the above number. A check or money order, if more convenient, may be mailed to FISH, Box 282, McHenry, 111., 60050. Many of you like to help with our Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets.

Senior Walk-In Center Meals are served Monday through Friday at the McHenry Walk-In center beginning at 11:45 a.m. Reservations must be made by 1:30 p.m. the day before treatments combine, Traditional '50s tailoring has been updatd for Fall, says Nancy Moore, University of Illinois home economics adviser for McHenry county. All the basics have surfaced - plaids, argyles, pleats, knee- capping lengths, rich colors, trimmed shirts, little collars, lots of jackets and sweaters. Knits of all kinds weave through the entire fashion picture. The emphasis is on freshness and simplicity. Interesting textures, detailing and variety of fabrics tie the looks together. The silhouette is body-conscious and easy going. Short jackets, narrow belts, dropped waists, pleats, tucks and shirring draw attention to the waist. Necklines perk up with Peter Pan collars, lace collars that may extend as large knitted or lace bibs, and detailing - crocheted edges, ruffles, pearl buttons, baby snaps. Plaids and argyles are the main attraction of sweater- skirt and pants-top teaming. Pants and box pleated and kilt skirts go the plain route with sweater sets or shirt and cardigan tops, blazer jackets. Argyle sweaters are paired ' with solid, herringbone or houndstooth skirts and pants. The interest in plaids - glen, tartan and many variations - leads to traditional colorations including navy, green, wine. Gray and camel are the neutrals. Brights are used as accents and black and white is strong. Soft and muddied pastels, alone or worked together, provide feminine shading, states Ms. Moore. Sweaters and sweater sets are important with lots of detailing and varied textures. Bulky pullovers and cardigans of all kinds expand choices. Sweaters go from softly feminine to "witty." Pretty looks come in angora blends, lamhswool, mohair, merino, soft alpaca and boucles. They appeal via collar interest and little details. The witty looks incorporate pictorial jacquards and intarsias, especially animal and sport motifs, most often in acrylic knits. Sometimes the two such at 385-8260.
