Newcomers Club Hosts Super Bowl Sunday Party Deep Fins Coal mine fires bum with the fury of a volcano, last for decades, and cost millions of dollars to control. More than 230 known fires are burning in abandoned deep mines and on refuse banks throughout the United States, most of them in the mining states of Montana, Colorado, and Pennsylvania. Upcoming social events of the Town and County Newcomers club include a unique men only event, the annual "Super Bowl Sun­ day" party to be held Sun­ day, Jan. 25, beginning one hour prior to game time at the attractive home of club members Pete and Ursula Youngwith. For details about attending, contact the Youngwiths or Mrs. Leonard. A local women's exercise facility was the location of the January meeting of the club. Members were treated to an excellent exercise and fitness demonstration by a qualified instructor. Following the demonstration of various machines and the invigorating calisthenics, a club official conducted a brief business meeting. During the business m e e t i n g , s e c r e t a r y - treasurer Bernelle Lovett read the minutes of the most recent meeting and gave an update on the financial condition of the club. In the absence of vice- president and prograta c h a i r p e r s o n , D e b b i e Hommeland, the an­ nouncement of the February program topic was delayed.

Individuals or couples are invited to attire themselves as whom they wish they were or would like to be, or could be again. Sports figures, movie stars, religious persons, imaginary and other well- known public figures are welcome, as well as fantasy fulfillment types. This fun- filled event on Saturday, Feb. 28, will be a McHenry version of the New Orleans festival that annually an­ ticipates the rigors of Lent.

In the absence of Ways and Means chairperson Claudia Dalton, the civic and service projects of the club were very briefly highlighted. Among recent recipients of the club's donations were the FISH organization, both area rescue squads and a local fire department. Following the meeting, hostesses Lee Romano and Laverne Kovarik provided refreshments which coor­ dinated with health and the diet consciousness of the evening. The next monthly evening meeting will be held Tuesday, Feb. 10, at 7:30 p.m., at St. Paul's Episcopal church off Green street in McHenry.

Babysitting Classes Offered At Johnsburg Once again, the Johnsburg P.T.O. is sponsoring a Babysitting Safety course for all fifth grade and older students of Johnsburg School District No. 12 and St. John's. These classes will be held at the James C. Bush multi­ purpose room from 7 to 9 p.m. on five consecutive Tuesdays, beginning Feb. 24 and ending March 24. They will offer safety tips from police, fire and rescue squads as well as discipline and care of children as a few of the items covered by the course. Registration will begin at the end of January with forms - requiring parental permission - being distributed. According to chairman, Patsy Hiller, "Based on last year's experiences, the graduates of these classes gained knowledge which can be used not only for babysitting techniques, but also common sense that can be applied to later years in their own child rearing. Besides - the best thing is it's absolutely free!"
