Remembering When .with long subscribers FRED MUELLER The Plaindealer was read in the home of Dr. Arnold Mueller and his family in Johnsburg back in the 'twenties. When they moved to McHenry, the home town newspaper also was delivered to the Mueller home. And when Fred Mueller went off to service during World War II it followed him to each Army camp. "I figured if the management could send it free to me for four and a half years, I could subscribe when I came home", he chuckled. He did just that, and to this day he is still subscribing in Warner Robins, Ga., where he has lived since the late 'forties. Fred, visiting in McHenry one recent weekend, remembered his days in the mid-twenties at Landmark school and two of his teachers, Alice Knox and Mary Kinney. He was a member of the 1926 freshman class that attended an "almost new" East campus high school. In high school, he especially remembers "Mac" McCracken and Supt. C.H. Duker. Other memories were of Green street in another day, when only dirt roads served the driving public. Later, they oiled the roads until the era of paving. His father's office was located over the Petesch drug store on Green street. Fred also remembers the Diettrich tailor shop and the Smith theatre, now the location of the McHenry theatre, where silent movies were shown, preceded by live piano music. On a sober note in his recollections, Fred said, "Basically, McHenry was a small community when we moved here from Johnsburg in 1934". He is enjoying life today in the growing city of Warner Robins, population about 50,000. His well earned rest follows many years as a civilian employee working in logistics for the Air Force. Update '50's Styles pl id There's An Answer (by Norman Vincent Peale and Ruth Stafford Peale) Afraid of her shadow Q. I have no willpower and have always been weak. I believe everything anyone tells met, and I've been hurt so many times. But I always forgive. Why can't others do the same with me? I'm always feeling sorry for myself, and I hate it. My children are all so strong-minded. Me-I'm weak. Imagine, being afraid to answer my oldest son! I am 78 years old and afriad of my shadow. Please don't think me foolish. Help me to try and have faith. A. Even thoough you are 78 years old you need an overhauling mentally.Those weak attitudes and that self-pity have become habitual. But any mental habit can be broken. Every day a dozen times repeat the following: "By God's grace I am, every day, becoming stronger. I am a normal healthy-minded person." Affirm that, believe it and you can become just that. < We are sending you our booklet. Try Faith and Watch What Happens, which is free to any reader of this column. Write to us at Box 500, Pawling, N.Y., 12564. It doesn't make sense Q. When I visited my mother in a nursing home recently she did not know who I was. It was so difficult to walk down the hall, to see those ancient faces, staring blankly in silence, or to listen to the raving voices "Help me! Help me!" or "I want to go home!" I am burdened by the problems of aging I see around me. It seems so senseless to have a lovely, loving 10- year-old child brutally murdered, as happend in my neighborhood, and to see a helpless soul of 102 who longs for death which does not come. Is there a reasonable, positive answer? A. Yes, indeed there is. Just recognize that what you are describing is a fact of life. But it is not the only fact. There are also health and joy and love and compassion and lots of other good things in life. In our thinking we must strike a balance and acquire a spiritually mature and philosophical understanding of life on earth. He won't talk Q. I have had a good many years of being married- wonderful years bringing up the family, hard times not knowing how to stretch the money far enough, and of course there was sickness. But everying worked out because we had love for each other and our religion. Now we are in our middle 50's, the children are married, our home paid for, so we should enjoy the years we have left. But what does a wife do when she finds out her husband has a lady friend? My husband won't even talk about it-thinks it's not important. A. The first thing is to be absolutely sure your husband is involved with another woman. Secondly, you are entitled to have him level with you. Don't get panicky. Sometimes men his age go off the beam but often they recover quickly. You might also ask yourself a straight question as to what he sees in anyone else that you haven't got. Have you grown less affectionate, less romantic, more prosaic?
