t PAGE 4 - PLAINDE ALER - FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17.1982 EARL WALSH So I Hear It never ceases to amaze me how much activity there is in the set­ tlement of McHenry real early in the morning. I went down to the bakery shop about 6:30 this morning, thinking nobody else would be stirring around so early. Huh! Saw this Sign on a truck: "Support beef. Run over a chicken." Glad they don't advise running over a pig _ Wayne Gaylord has all the con­ fidence in the world that the White Sox will win their division title. Sorry to say the hill looks too high to climb, but will try to share Wayne's enthusiasm. . Next year for sure. We visited Norb and Nora Klaus in Fox Lake this week. Nora is battling back like a true champion after a bout with illness. Baseball fans will remember the Klaus boys, Billy and Bobby, playing with teams in this area and eventually moving up to the big tim€. We remember Norb and Nora from the old Fox Pavilion days, a likeable pair. . Fox dances were where you met old friends and made new ones. Ten cents a dance and the floor was jammed. Breathes there a man with soul so dead he can't remember waltzing to the tune "It's Three O'clock In The Morning" with lights turned low._. "* Leaves are starting to turn and there are signs of an ean^Jlall. It won't be long before planning a trip into Wisconsin to marvel once again at the beautiful scenery. Just when people were complaining about air-conditioning cost along comes a cold spell and thoughts turn to heating bills. Old time pictures of the McHenry area seem to be popular with Plain- dealer readers, young and not so young readers. If you have such a picture, please turn it in. It will be returned to you. Put your name on the back. One of these days, we are going to get together with Mrs. George Worts to look at her pictures. You wouldn't guess it, but she is one who goes back farther in McHenry history than most anyone you can mention.. Talk about the good old days--those Button up your overcoat. owcrw Plant SoLe "DECORA TIVE FOLIAGE PLANTS OF DISTINCTION" SAVE UP TO 50«/O.sf- 1000s OF GREEN PLANTS TO SELECT FROM IN OUR GREENHOUSES ALL $1000 to $1500 PLANTS *Ferns-Phiiodendron-India Rubber Plant SAVE S3.00 ALL $16## to $25## PLANTS * Norfolk Island Pine-Dracena Marginata SAVE $6.00 ALL s260# to $5009 PLANTS *Areca Palms-Weeping Fig-Fiddle Lear Fig SAVE $9.00 ALL $51#0 to $100## PLANTS ^ *Hibiscus-Ficus-Bamboo Palm-Chinese Fan Palm SAVE $22.00 ALL $101#0 and Up PLANTS *Palms-Dracenas 1/2 PRICE i O Sale ends Wednesday, September 22 "Many other varieties available at all prices! 815-459-6200 J owe •=wood Rts. 14 & 176, Crystal Lake Mon.-Thurs. 9-6; Frl. 9-8; Sat. 9-5; Sun. 10-5 ?!
