Mrs. George Krickl read he words to the Jolly Old St. Nicholas song and let us know a verse was omitted. The lady of our house also told me about that. Mrs. Krickl likes old time items and has a good memory of trfnes gone by and remembers when Santa wore a long coat. -- A nice lady to talk to. Melvin Walsh, our favorite cousin (according to him), read where we said McHenry had no snow plows in bobflippin' days. There weren't any for street plowing, but he reminds me that George "Frenchy" Meyers cleared the sidewalks with a one- horse, wooden plow. - SNO-BALL SIZZLER STEAK FRY SAT. - JAN. 30 $7.§0 PER PERSON McHENRY V.F.W.

That was progress which was lost along the way. Speaking of snow plows, Martha Morenz (so glad to see her out and recovering from illness) had some good words for Dick Web6r, Supt. • if Public Works, and his crew. Martha says what many say, McHenry is far and away ahead of other cities in clearing streets Told * Martha that McHenry has had that reputation from the days when it was a one-truck (own. "Peggy" Feltz, street sweeper with broom, shovel and two-wheel cart, used to say nobody could claim McHenry was a one-horse town. With one truck, Jack Smith, Philip Thennes, "TonyV Freund, tand Wally Aeverman did a praise worthy job. Then came Fred Meyer when the city grew. He and his crew were on the ball. Nothing to do with snow plows, but another phone call came from Norm Lobitz to ask if we had seen the posters telling about the Zion Lutheran annual roast beef dinner. Must have had my head down 'cause I hadn't seen them. Well, Norm just happened to have a couple of tickets which he could sell me. I grabbed them. So--on Feb. 7, noon to 3 -pjn., we will be there. It was a real enjoyable phone call that came from Elsie Wilcox after she read about things to come. She wanted to be the first to put in her order for one of those ice and snow free driveways.

Since Musin' and Mean- derin' did such a great job in writing about them, I won't try to gild the lily. As years went on, I never failed to remind Lillian of our high school days when she and my sister Pender were thorns in my side. They were Dora Kinney's prize pupils in Latin class. I wasn't. In fact Miss Kinney gave me a passing grade and advised me not-to take the subject the next year. With their teacher's blessing, they even made up sentences about my pony which I didn't comprehend. They laughed. (Outside of class. I called them some kind of teacher's pets.) Lillian and I served together on the McHenry Library Board for 32 years. Some of those were lean years when there wasn't much money for the library. One person wrote to me criticizing our lack of books. Lillian saw my reply and called it a "Masterpiece of evasion".

If there are Saints in heaven, and I think there are, they must have reserved a place for Lenore. Judge Herrmann left a fol­ der at our house containing reports in the Plaindealefr and Chicago papers following the tornado which hit Edgebrook Heights back in the year 1959. I suspect a combined headline that told about the tornado ripping that section at the same time the Dodgers clobbered our White Sox in the World Series was what he wanted me to read first. That tornado hit the Dr. Pike home first, then wrecked the Dick Hester home. Other names listed as ibeing hit were: Eugene King, L. A. Olson, Frank Depaul, Mrs. Ruth Levine and Roland Herrmann. The "Chuck" Miller yard was damaged, but the home escaped. The same for McHenry Country Club where damage was done to the course, but not the clubhouse. Those old papers told some interesting stories that go back so far we won't be interfering with Marie's popular Twice Told Tales. Back in 1909, a woman went into a newspaper office and wished to advertise for her husband who had disappeared. When told they charged two dollars an inch, she went out, saying that would break her at that rate, as her husband was six feet long. In 1919, the Plaindealer reported: An electric hair clipping machine, the first in McHenry, has been installed in"Smithy's" barber shop on the West Side. That would have been Martin Smith. Back in 1959, a reader consoled S.I.H. with, "Don't feel too badly. After all, the Sox haven't lost a World Series in 40 years". Looking at minutes of a meeting held by the Riverside Social and Athletic Club tells me something I knew all the time. That group makes many donations to worthy causes. God grants liberty to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it. --Daniel Webster I Wonder Lake Anne Sowers Revive Snow Snake Custom 653 9549 Many years ago, Indian men spent their free time playing/^Xlk Crosse and creating an/ instrument to play with in we snow called a snow snake. Recently, this custom was revived at Northwood Junior high school. Many hdtaf-s were put into creating a snow snake from a 2x2 piece of wood by students who wished to participate in the contest. By using a knife, wood plane and a lot of sandpaper, the wood was rounded a head formed and the bottom smoothed down to create speed. They could be painted or stained, and Indian decorations applied. A bolt was added to the head to give the snake weight. The idea of the contest was to throw the snow snake on the course set up at the school and to achieve the greatest distance. The smoother the bottom, the farther the snake glided on the snow course, so wax also was applied to the bottom surface. This activity, open to all students, was initiated by Mr. La Crone, the Art in­ structor. Winner of this year's contest was an eighth grade student, Pat Meyers of Justice Hills in Woodstock. Chosen as the owner of the best looking snow snake was Chuck Sowers, another eighth grade student, from Wonder Lake. AEROBIC DANCING Members and guests of the Woman's club of Wonder Lake are in for a night of exercise at the Thursday, Jan. 21 meeting. After the business meeting, Jayne McMillan, P.E. instructor at Harrison school, will show some of the fundamentals of aerobic dancing. Those who would like to try out what they have been told, are encouraged to dress com­ fortably. Hostesses for the evening will be Sara Hearity, Dorothy Reuss, Marge B l a c k , L o u a n n a Paradowski, Clara Kruger, and Rae Ann Kasney. All Woman's club meetings are held at Nativity Lutheran church and bejgn at 8 p.m. BOY'S BASEBALL Just because there is snow on the ground and the first ball of the season doesn't get thrown until Memorial day, don't think the Boys Baseball league is forgotten. At the Jan. 13 meeting, many {dans for the 1982 season were made. Of course, as with all organizations, money is always a concern. Two Friday fun nights have been planned as last year. They will be Feb. 19, and May 7, at Christ the King hall. A third field will be available this year at Christ the King due to the efforts of John Hogan, Sr., and Don Bailey, who tilled the ground and leveled it this past fall. With more boys being in­ volved each year, additional practice and playing space is always needed. Something else will be added to Wonder Lake Boys Baseball this coming season. A 16-year-old traveling team will be formed, with Don Crook as manager. Registration will take place three Saturdays in March for all boys wishing to play ball this coming season, who are between the ages of 8-16. The dates are March IS, 20 and 27, to be held at Christ the King hall from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. SPECIAL DAYS Best wishes Jan. 28, to Dana Diedrich, daughter of Ralph and Pat Diedrich of Wonder Center. On Jan. 28, Eric deGelder, son of Jerry and Claire deGelder will be celebrating his birthday. "Happy Birthday" to both Dana and Eric.
