PAGE 4 - PLA1NDEAI "LAKL WALSH BBa A VHP So I Hear From Maryland, a McHenryite writes. Ken Boley is still a Plaindealer subscriber and calls on our editor whenever the trail brings him back to the old home town. Nov. 29,1981 "Dear Earl, "Your column Uttthe Nov. 20 issue arouiia some pleasant memories. Back in the dim distant past of 1938 I was supplementing my income by playing saxophone four nights a week in a little bistro on the outskirts of Freeport, IL. One novelty tune in our repertoire, which I had the dubious pleasure of singing, was "The Old Apple Tree In The Orchard". It had several catchy verses ex­ plaining why Old Pappy came to no good end in the apple tree, and was so popular among the guests that we did it three or four times each evening for a few months. I don't recall ever hearing the song since that time. Wonder where Nell Fidler remembers it from? "Regards to fellow musician Brenda. "All the best, "Ken Boley" Your letter will make Nell one happy girl, Ken. Hope she had a bet with her husband on that song. Nellie Doherty was telling sometime ago about her father winding the clock every night before going to bed. It was a ritual It reminded me of my father winding the clock on the mantel. It must have been a 7-day model. As father wound the clock vigorously, mother stood nearby to warn him not to wind it too tightly. It was like early hours on a, cold winter morning when he "shook down the stove". Mom would say, "You would think he would shake the house down". Somebody suggested if we keep trying to outsmart the squirrels in'their raiding of the bird feeders, we mav be guilty of discrimination. It was a pleasant evening at McHenry Country Club as the gracious manager and all were in the spirit of the season. Six couples sat at a table near the fireplace, celebrating Carol Cooney's birthday. It was like a smoke screen as Carol tried desperately to blow out those trick candles that fire up, smoke out, then light up again. REMARKS HEARD IN OUR LIMITED TRAVELS: That 's another thing I plan to do right after the first of the year. Buy now. Pay next year. I'm cutting down on gifts this year. I'm sending cards to relatives and friends outside of town, not to those I see through the year. It is a beautiful time of the year, but too busy. I'll be glad when it's over. What do you want for Christmas? Do you have all your shopping doneZ--- I'd like snow for Christ­ mas. Not too much. Director Adele Froehlich and her talented group in the McHenry Choral Club staged one of their better programs over the weekend. It was a packed house Saturday night and a well pleased crowd voicing praises on the way to the exit. I stayed awake during the entire program. That will give you an idea of its 4-star rating. The Choral Club programs don't just happen. So many people do so much to put the entertainment together. I saw Santa Claus! As we entered the busy Windhill restaurant Sunday noon, old whiskers was right there to greet us. Like a politician he made a lot of promises. Somebody at Windhill put Christmas in the air. Waitresses (and the lone waiter) were dressed in holiday costumes and the whole decor spelled Merry Christmas.
