The Cub team came out to McHenry to give the natives an exhibition of how the Same should be played.

CRYSTAL LAKE ROAD SUITE C-WHISPERING POINJ^ McHENRY, ILLINOIS 600St) With kind words, Howard D. Parker of Royal Drive sends the following: AROUND THE CORNER Around the corner I have a friend in this great city that has no end. Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, and before I know it a year has gone, for life is swift and a terrible race.» He knows 1% like him just as well as in the d^ys I rang his bell and he rang mine: We were younger then, and now we are busy, tired men; Tired with playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name, "Tomorrow", I say, "I will call on Jim", But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes. The distance between us grows and grows. Around the corner! yet miles away - "Here's a. telegram, sir"...."Jim Died today"., And that's what we get, and deserve in the end. Around the corner, a vanished friend. Charles Hansen Towne When our grandson Brendan asked if it were true they had pickle barrels in stores in the old days, it was enough to set me off on days gone by. As I remember, those open barrels were filled with dill pickles. Sauer kraut barrels, too. --And cracker barrel's. If the spirit moved you, the storekeeper didn't mind if you reached in for a pickle and grabbed a few crackers to make a little snack. A trip to the country store was a leisurely event. A.- coffee grinder with a big wheel gave the customer a chance to grind to his or her own taste. The storekeeper had" delivery service, hitching his horse to a buggy or light wagon to make deliveries. Home town* stores gave credit (sometimes too much). Those who paid once a month were rewarded with a bag of candy. McHenry was a Saturday night town. Farmers hitched up their light, road teams after evening chores were done. The women brought cases of eggs to trade with the local merchants. The men gathered 'round to visit and maybe dropped in to wet their whistles. Stores opened at 7 a.m. and closed at 9 p.m. except on Tuesday and Thursday nights when closing time was 6 p.m.. Painters and other tradesmen let the hardware ealers know they had to be pen at 6:30 in the morning if they wanted their business. ^Merkjng in a store was considered a good job even if you had to work 80 hours a week with no fringe benefits. Of course, a clerk had to realize the boss handed out a five dollar gold piece at Christmas time. Vacations? What were they? The White Sox season ended with a thud. As soon as the goofy season came to an end, the sports pages dropped them like a hot potato. The Cubs stayed in the news with stories about Dallas Green coming to Chicago to turn things around. > The play-off games have certainly been pitchers' battles. I still say if you can't hit em, bunt 'em to death. John Herdrich went east to see his npw grandchild. He could hardly wait to get back to tell me the baby's middle name is Walsh. Looking over a large display of antiques made me think it is time to check over some items in our home. Dealers claim if they are a hundred years old, they are authentic antiques. Wow!

Say Goodbye to excess weight beginning of TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files October 22, 1971) McHenry city police of­ ficers and Fire Chief Glenn Peterson hurried to East campus twice when calls were received in the school office that a bomb had been set in the school. The first call, made by a female at 1:08 p.m. could not be traced, but the second, made by a male just one hour later, came from a phone in the gymnasium. Police noted that seldom are these bomb scare calls made except on especially nice days when the urge for the out-of-doors apparently become uncontrollable. New schedules presented to the Montini school board outlined in detail the new program to be offered seventh and eighth graders when they return full time to Montini Middle school Nov. 8. Science as well as French will be available. Thomas Parsley, principal of Marian Central Catholic high school, has offered the use of science equipment and films to aid Montini in setting up the Science course. Film Award Winner Featured At Church "No Longer Alone", winner of three prestigious film-industry awards will be shown on Sunday, Oct. 18, at the Alliance church, 3815 W. Bull Valley road, McHenry. The showing, open to the public free of charge, is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. The film, a true story, takes a close look at a woman who was searching desperately for love and acceptance, but whose cries went unheard by those who surrounded her. "No Longer Alone" traces the life of an English actress, Joan Winmill Brown. Though she skyrocketed to fame on the British stage, her life was marked by a frantic grasp for personal fulfillment and love. Tor­ mented by a past she was unable to forget, she suc- cumed to a series of nervous breakdowns; and, at one point, attempted to take her own life. In her ultimate moment of despair, Joan was invited by a "chance" phone kpall to attend a Billy Graham crusade. It was here that she first discovered her worth as an individual and began her long struggle to piece her shattered life back together. Those who have followed Billy Graham's ministry will be interested to know that Dr. Graham appears in the film in some of the footage of his 1954 London Crusade, and also in the introduction and conclusion to the film, photographed recently for this special version. "No Longer Alone" was filmed in color on location in London, and stars Belinda Carroll, Wilfrid Hyde White, James Fox, Samantha^ Gates, and Gordon DeVol. Simon Williams, who has one of the leading roles in the BBC production, "Upstairs, Downstairs." also stars in the film. The title song was performed by the popular recording artist, B. J. Thomas. /' BOSSES' DAY A Bosses day luncheon will be held at the Lakeside center, 401 Country Club road, Crystal Lake, at noon Oct. 2L The Fox Valley chapter of Professional Secretaries International (since 1942 known as N a t i o n a l S e c r e t a r i e s Association International) will, in lieu of its regular October meeting, set aside this day to honor all bosses in the Fox Valley area.
