Remembering When (with long time subscribers) , , , , V fe'. .V BARBARA HORICK Music has always been a big part of Barbara Horick's life and she guessed that she played with just about every orchestra in McHenry county. Barbara was born in Johnsburg near the Johnsburg-Chapel Hill roads intersection, in a building that once held a dance hall and a tavern. Today, the building is the. River Shannon tavern. "Stubby" Smith was her father Barbara began taking piano lessons in her early childhood. "Then I broke my arm and forgot everything," she said. After her arm healed, Barbara started taking lessons from Rose Justen, who lived in McHenry. Barbara also took piano lessons from Mae Noonan and another teacher, who lived in Richmond. Barbara was about 14-years-old when she started her professional career. Her father, who operated the tavern, was having a hard time finding musicians. "Mame Heimer was the only pianist around and then she got married," Mrs. Horick said. "My father said, 'Barbara's big enough, she can do it." Later, Barbara would have her own orchestra and would play at Pinky Harrison's on Pistakee Bay, the Blue Moon in Elgin, and the Polly Prim, across the Fox river. "In my younger years, I didn't want to play, I wanted to dance," she said. Barbara has four sisters, all of whom are living in McHenry ~ Julia Regner, Florence Geit, Helen Kreutzer and Mame King. PAGE 3 - PLAINDEAI.FR - FRIDAY. OCTOBER 17,1«J0 Americans Change Eating Habits Unusual Gift Ideas For Newlyweds New couples always find an endless array of items on their "wish list" before having been married very long. For the gift giver who dares to be original, a wedding gift never needs to be wrapped in a heavy floppy box that whispers "tow-wel-ls " For the house...A chiming doorbell that plays "I love you truly". These come in kits with different programmable tunes. How fitting for the couple moving into a first home! An unadorned mirror of generous sizes and shaped to fit a narrow hall's end wall, or the blank space over the powder room sink, is a forever gift. It is something a couple usually can't afford to buy right away. Or how about a gift cer­ tificate from a favorite store's tool department, designated for the purchase of hammers and pliers- tapes and all those expensive little necessities discovered lacking in a new home? Friends could go together to buy a garage door opener - - a handy helper and a boon for a bride whose husband travels a lot. Appliances.. .Lightweight floor fans, the kind that has protective grilles on either side, can be popped into a window, hung in a doorway or used to spread around the air conditioning or to dry a freshly-mopped kitchen floor. A pasta maker - the kind that looks like a small meat grinder. These have in­ terchangeable disks to make spaghetti and pretzels and all the goodies new cooks like to try. For recredation...Buy good quality insulated containers that never leak or spill and do keep liquids hot. Also great are those picnic- basket size insulated carry- abouts with lids that snap closed. When not in use for boating or for sporting events, suggest keeping one in the car for toting home ice cream, TV dinners and hamburger from the grocery store. Nobody ever thinks of binoculars as a wedding gift, and they come in handy in many ways! They can be used to examine the roof for bad shingles, and to see if a mother-in-law is driving down the street F o r e n t e r t a i n ­ ment...Champagne or sparkling wine is an unex­ pected gift for a couple planning to entertain either guests or themselves. It keeps until needed, and there are no sizes nor colors to be concerned with. Who else would think to give a dozen hand-dipped candles to match the "good dishes?" Few brides are forgotten when the can­ dlesticks are passed out, but nobody remembers the candles. For keepsakes...Many quality cleaners offer a package price for cleaning and sealing in a special storage bag the wedding gown to be saved for a daughter. Or borrow the couple's wedding photographs and have a duplicate wedding bouquet or corsage made up in silk flowers. Better yet! Give it ahead of time to use on the wedding day and then enjoy it forever after. And finally, a couple moving out of town after having lived in the com­ munity for many years is sure to appreciate the thoughtfulness of a hometown newspaper subscription to undo the lonesome.

The kinds of food Americans choose to eat have been shifting in the last dozen years at an astonishing pace. What's not surprising is that the nation's foodservice in­ dustry has anticipated the new nutritional awareness as can be seen reflected in menus and marketing ap­ proaches across the country. One of the largest fast food chains, and one of the biggest hotel operations, have both initiated marketing thrusts based on nutritional information this year. Not everyone will follow, but a trend is set which observers predict will last through the decade. America's restaurants, currently receiving 40 percent of the consumer food dollar and climbing to 50 percent by 1990, will be in­ creasingly affected by changing food perceptions and preferences. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, America's gustatory love affair with red meats is far from over. Consumption per person of beef rose nearly 14 percent from 1965 to 1977. The ever-popular ham­ burger accounts for between 40 and 45 percent of this consumption, with a prediction of growth to fi5 percent by 1985. The number one beverage? Nope, not milk, but soft drinks Americans sipped, or we should say gulped, an average of 33 6 gallons of soft drinks in 1978 Coffee came in next at 27 8 gallons. Then inilk at 24 8 gallons. Egg consumption dropped 19 percent from 1965 to 1979, probably because of the publicity given to cholesterol. Fish was a winner of the period, with average consumption per person up 3.4 pounds to 13.7 pounds a year since 1960 About 60 percent of current fish consumption occurs in fast food restaurants. Eating out is also largely responsible for almost doubling chicken con­ sumption in the past 20 years. Americans consume an average of 52 pounds of chicken a year per person Other foods which are significant gainers include cheese, potatoes (our most popular vegetable^, and all salad ingredients.
