' Most of us thought the United Nations would keep everything in line. . A friend was telling me that one time a fellow told him he could count all his friends on one hand. Told my friend that he is lucky if he has five true friends who won't desert him when the chips are down. Fair weather friends are a dime a dozen. They are passive and listen when somebody talks about you. < Real friends have the guts to stand up for you. I don't think my friend was down hearted in the least, but maybe my analysis gave him a little boost. Now comes January and the problem of remembering to write 1982.

Herb Reihansperger and John Busscher plan to -take me to a Cub game next summer. It might be painful, but I will endure the ordeal. I still think there is something about a country store that will never be found in a supermarket. Big stores - are a madhouse. Who ever heard of wheeling a cart around and serving yourself in an old time store? The clerk stood in back of the counter and took down a can of beans and other items on your list. Heard a lady say she bought $130 worth. Maybe it wasn't worth it, but that's what she paid. All in one order! A few customers like that would have depleted the stock in a store of yesteryear. At one tiihe the old stores used a wooden cash drawer which pulled out from under the counter. /Then they got fancy with cash registers.

The Blaneys hosted a large group which we couldn't squeeie into our home if we opened the attic. v> It was planned for the ladies to gather on the main floor while « the menfolks descended to the game room --and the game was the San Diego Changers vs. the Miami Dolphins. Wow! That was the game of games. It took overtime to decide the issue, the Chargers finally taking the game 41 to 38. It looked for a while the game wouldn't be decided until the next day. If anybody wants our opinion, it was the protection given quarterback Fouts on passes that told the story. What I saw of the game, Fouts was sacked only once. John Busscher and Rita Sayler knew the words and sang that "Get for me dear Santa Claus" song for us. We learned about John and Mrs. Blaney singing German songs. I hope to sign a booking agent contract with them. All dates will be open except St. Patrick's Day. OPEN ICE SKATING RINK An ice skating festival featuring music, skating performances and free skating to the public will be held at the Lambs Sunday, Jan. 10 from noon to 4 p.m. The festival kicks off the Lambs' recently opened ice skating rink at the junction of the 1-94 Tollway and Rt. 176, east of Libertyville. The Lambs businesses serve as job training centers for 150 mentally retarded adults who participate in the Lambs' private, not-for profit program for the handicapped. The Lambs' ice skating rink is open to the public daily, weather per­ mitting. Admission is free. The 1982 Cancer Crusade goal for the McHenry county chapter of the American Cancer society is $65,400. Ed Egleston, chairman, an­ nounced the goal at the December board meeting late last week. The 1982 Crusade theme is "Eleven Things Which Do Not Cause Cancer." The annual-Crusade provides funds for cancer-related services to McHenry county residents as well as for research into the causes and cures of cancer. The local chapter needs volunteers to visit their neighbors, inform them about the Cancer society's work, and accept donations. Both those who have worked in the Crusade over its past 20-year history and new volunteers are sought. This year, prior to, the Crusade's official kickoff in March, the professional staff from the society's area of­ fice will conduct briefings and training sessions for Crusade participants. The board of the McHenry county chapter consists of both medical and lay per­ sons of many ages and oc­ cupations. They are united by a concern for people, especially the residents of McHenry county whose lives have been affected by cancer either personally or because of friends and family. Board members serve without pay and contribute both their time and money to attend board meeting dinners and supervise the operation of loans, and and emotional the local chapter. % Each board member wants to see cancer conquered and to help •provide service*, in the county, such as educational programs for both the public and medical equipment counseling support- Volunteers who would like to help in the 1982 Crusade- both new volunteers and experienced ones- are asked to contact the area office in Geneva (312) 232-7711. The office address is American Cancer Society, 321 West James Street, Geneva, 111., 60134. "Help in the fight being carried, out against cancer both in McHenry county and throughout the United States," invites Egleston Slate '82 Audubon A new series of three Audubon Wildlife films is planned for the early months of next year. This is the fourth series, and will again be sponsored by the McHenry county chapter of the Illinois Audubon society, t h e E n v i r o n m e n t a l Education committee for the McHenry County Con­ servation district, and the McHenry County Defenders. On Jan; 31 in "Wild Canada, Coast and Coast", the jagged cliffs and rugged shoreline of both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Canada will be explored, with their abundance of bird and marine life. On Feb. 28, the film will be "The Marsh: A Quiet Mystery" Marshes are among the most productive areas on earth; the teeming life .of wetlands will be depicted. Finally, on April 4, the film will be "A Wildlife Trek Through New Zealand", showing the profuse and unique wildlife on these isolated islands. Series tickets are available now, by contacting the McHenry . County Audubon, Box 67, Wood­ stock, 111., 60098. Prices will be the same as last year. The "student" classification is a new one, and will make it less costly for parents to bring their children. ^When Audubon Wildlife film speakers give their programs, they bring their knowledge as naturalists, and the exciting experiences, they had in making their films. Most of all, they bring their enthusiasm and their enjoyment of the splendors of nature. Series tickets to these films would make excellent gifts. For additional in­ formation, call the Wood­ stock Opera House ticket office at 338-5300.

Crafts ALLS USA HOURS: M An average of five severe winter storms will strike Illinois during the winter. Steve Hilberg, a meteorologist at the Illinois State Water survey, said that these storms, normally o c c u r r i n g b e t w e e n November and April, produce more damage in the state than any other short- term severe weather event such as tornadoes or heavy thunderstorms. Climatologists at the Water Survey, a division of J the Department of Energy f and Natural Resources, did ,( %n e*teo§iye stwty Of winter r^i storms ^Illinois for Winter Storm Preparedness week Dec. 14-20. They defined a , severe winter storm as one that produces 6 inches of snow or more in 48 hours or less somewhere in the state or one which produces damaging ice, or glaze, over at least 5,000 square miles. Hilberg said the study found that there has been at least one severe storm every winter since 1900. A record- breaking 18 severe storms occurred in the winter of 1977-78 and that was followed by 17 severe winter storms in 1978-1979. Last winter, he said, there were only two severe stoon- s. One ioccurr®d«\/on Thanksgiving day and _ the * other Feb. 10-11. Both storms affected most of Illinois. The study of severe winter storms revealed that there are certain days that have a high incidence of storms. There are two chances in 10 that a severe winter storm will occur somewhere in the state Dec. 24, 25 or 26, and on March 2 or 3. Hilberg said a severe winter storm is most likely to hit during thev month of January. There is a 70 percent chance for one or more storms to occur somewhere in the state in., that monUit vi P \ • Most severe Winter storms have their origins in or near Colorado. The storms either form in that area or re- intensify there after crossing the Rockies from the west. The Water Survey study found that the most damaging storms tend to move from Colorado into southern Missouri or nor­ thern Arkansas. They then t u r n n o r t h e a s t w a r d a n d either move up the Ohio River valley or through central Indiana. The reason these storms usually result in so much damage here is that the storm path tends to keep Illinois in the area of maximum precipitation for t h e g r e a t e s t a m o u n t o f t i m e , Hilberg said. The part of the state most likely to experience a severe winter snowstorm is an area north of a line from Quincy to Chicago. Ice storms are most likely across central Illinois. Hilberg said the first severe winter storm to hit / Illinois this season was Nov. 23,1981, when up to 8 inches of snow fell on some western suburbs of Chicago. merican Viewpoints W Ot Lfjrah.rO \' A iXM* The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
