ivu;K 12 - I'l.AINDKAI.KH - WKDNKSDAY, DECEMBERS, 1S82 WONDER LAKE Anne Sowers 653-9549 What's Your Twenty, Santa? With the help of some local CBers, Santa will be making the rounds this year to three or four families in Wonder Lake even before the rest of us hear from him on Dec. 25. This will be Doug Hartsell's fourth year of bringing joy into many people's lives. Doug, whose CB handle is Gabby, would appreciate help in gathering canned goods, clothing in good condition, or toys that have been laid aside, but would still be loved by some other young boy or girl. The true meaning of Christmas, giving to others, means much to these CBers. I became aware of the fact that Gabby has been out of work since last March because of an industrial accident. One finger had been am­ putated but re-attached and he recently has undergone a bone transplant. Eight more weeks of therapy is needed before he can go .back to work. All this and he still can say there are a lot of people much worse off than he is this year because of the sinking economy and he wants to help. Three cheers for Gabby and his gang. These are the things I love to write about. If you would like to help in any way, give Gabby a call at 653- 9651. COUNTRY CHRISTMAS Christ the King Ladies Sodality will be having a Country Christmas Breakfast and Bazaar Sunday, Dec. 12, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Christ the King hall.

FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 15, 1932) The annual meeting of the stockholders of the McHenry County Farmers-Co-operative association was held at Woodstock. The following three stockholders were elected directors for a term of three years; John A. Bolger and J.M. Phalin of McHenry and E.O. Joslyn of Marengo. St. Mary's won the $15 special prize given by the Plaindealer for the first week of Church Work contest. Mrs. Samantha Button quietly celebrated her 101st birthday at the home of Mrs. Theresa Calvert on Waukegan street Dec. 12. Several friends called during the day and many beautiful flowers and other gifts were received, as well as messages from far away friends. Mrs. Button has been ill with a severe cold, but is now on the gain. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 17, 1942) County rationing boards have been busy during this Jast week giving out "B" and "C" gasoline books in ad­ dition to "A" books. Timely in­ formation concerning these books, as well as rationing rules for other goods, may help those who are still in doubt about those points. The basic "A" book contains coupons good for 120 gallons to be used at the rate of 16 gallons a month (approximately 240 miles of driving). Vernon Reinboldt of McHenry has been in service for almost a year and has been receiving the Plaindealer since last February. He was stationed at Camp Polk, La., for some time and is now at Camp Pickett, Va. From the bowling notes: The McGee boys gave the Meister Brau Ladies 180 pins arid beat them 2392 to 2309. "Bull" Larkin's 517 and "Schnozola" Williams 512 were tops. Look at the names. "Rough House" Reid, "Boob" Adams and "Tulips" Weingart. The ladies are also tagged with snappy names, but we'll spare them. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 19, 1957) Among the many attractive Chicago area girls seeking the title of Miss Photo Flash of 1958 sponsored by the Chicago Press Photographers' association will be pretty 20-year-old Judy Freund, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Freund. This year, the winner will be sent to Hollywood by the association all expenses paid, for a movie role in a forthcoming ABPT Pictures film. McHenry friends and relatives were happy to learn that Howard V. Phalin, a former local resident and a frequent visitor, was one of two employees of Field Enterprises Educational Corp., to be named executive vice-president. Grand jurors for the court term starting in January include John Huffman and Peter Schaefer, with Betty Grade and Frank Kempfer listed as alternates. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 15, 1972) About 90 persons attended the third scheduled hearing of the McHenry County Zoning Board of Appeals to present their objections in connection with a request for an amendment to the county zoning ordinance. The land in question is 238 acres located south of Route 120 to the east of River road, McHenry township. Petitioners are asking for rezoning from "F" farming district for the development of multiple uses containing a motel, marina and recreational facilities, commercial uses including the sale of alcoholic beverages; industrial uses and for single and multiple family dwellings. The financial plight of schools in general and of Consolidated District 15 in particular, was outlined by Dr. Robert Boos, superintendent, at the meeting of the hoard. Dancers At Opera House Following the sold-out engagement of the Hubbard Street Dance com­ pany, the holiday season continues at the Woodstock Opera House with two performances by Judith Svalander Dance theatre Friday and Saturday, Dec. 10 and 11, at 8:15 p.m. One-half of the festive program will include favorite segments from "The Nutcracker Suite" including "Waltz of the Flowers," "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy," and "The Arabian Dance." The rest of the program will feature highlights from other great ballets including "Swan Lake" and "Coppellia." Judith Svalander, artistic director for the company, has announced that Warren Conover, a soloist with New York's American Ballet theatre, will guest st^r in these two performances. The young company of 20 dancers from communities throughout nor­ thern Illinois is headquartered in Crystal Lake. Ticket reservations or further in­ formation may be obtained by calling the Woodstock Opera House ticket office at (815) 338-5300. Saving Money By Charlie Watters My neighbor just sold his collection of soap wrappers. I never knew soap wrappers were worth anything on the open market either, but he turned quite a profit on these. Of course, he's been saving them for , thirty years. And to think all this time I've been throwing mine in the waste basket. People collect just about everything imaginable, trying to get either the oldest or the most or the rarest. Old post cards that are date stamped are quite popular now; so are Saltine cracker tins from past years. I collect things too and store them in the garage. But nobody wants my rare treasures because they're junk. There have been quite a few garage sales on my block this past summer so there must be a lot of other people who collect junk too. Since I'm interested in saving you money (or better yet, making you money) I reasoned that if my neighbor can sell soap labels anything is fair game, So I asked him to give me some pointers about selling. He said the first thing you want to do is ad­ vertise in the local paper. You'd be sur­ prised at the number of people who turn im­ mediately to the section that has garage sales. If you're posting signs to tell people how to get to your sale, write the signs in big, legible letters' with arrows pointing the way. No one enjoys having the car in front of them slowing down to a crawl just so the people inside can read about your garage sale. You will attract more people to your sale if you can involve your neighbors to put up things for sale also. (The more people you can involve selling things, the more people will show up for your sale)....it's the old bigger is better trick. Usually it isn't difficult to locate a few neigh­ bors who want to unload t h e i r c o l l e c t e d "treasures." Some towns hold annual picnics or celebrations of some kind. It's common to find a flea market as one of the attractions. For a fee of one dollar or more you can rent a space (bring your own table). These flea markets attract a large number of buyers and onlookers and the hosting organization pays for the advertising. All you have to do is sit back, pray for good' weather and let people tome to you. SuMoWtti; FOODS TOTAL DISCOUNT 3705 W.
