They all want to talk at once and interrupt like they never heard the word "courtesy." Some people think we never eat at home. That is because I relate experiences at different hunger and thirst quenching spots in our area. The fact is, we eat a big majority of our three squares a day meals at home, but emoy getting out to meet people. (Not saying anything about getting doing dishes.) Don and Leah are popular hosts, making sure that everybody is happy. Leah seated us with Tom and Judy Schoenig, and Larry and Julie Murphy. They are friendly people, the kind we hope to meet again.

That is where we joined other farm boys to ride our ponies. Those were the days. ' Since Alvina has made good strides in recovery from her injuries, almost three months ago, we have been making up partially for lost time. Last week, we joined "Brenda" and Marie to meet Bill and Lila Burfeindt, and Larry and Lynn Lund at the Timbers. Bill and Larry are former t ishers of the Plaindealer, h good friends of ours. ---- Larry and Lynn are now established in their own newspaper plant in Monroe, Wis. Bill and Lila will be retiring to their home in Arkansas in a couple of months. It was a happy meeting as old friends met, "et" and gabbed about days gone by. You can net we will meet again some fine day. "Brenda" is the arranger. Since the famous McCutcheon Injun Summer was reprinted in the Chicago Tribune, a reader has been at me to reprint a poem I wrote many years ago. A protest that I had printed it a few years back did no good. I hesitate, but my arm is being twisted. The following was put away in ;e folder marked, "For a the When Earl is going to write, you're sitting 'round it in autumn s of mirth together Just the family 'round the hearth On the first cool After summer It sort at gets you Of the worth while folks you meet And you get a closer feeling Toward your own dear ones and sweet.

We went out to Longhorn Friday night after some traffic delays, but found a lot of friends out there. Before we left, the place was packed.

Saturday night found us at Snug Harbor, where Captains and Mates enjoyed "Oktober- fest," German cooking all the way from soup and salad to sauerbraten.

Barrington Hills police are investigating a rainy Thursday night collision which tore a vehicle in half, leaving an Algonquin man dead and a passenger in his car seriously injured. Also, in an unrelated acc- cident that occurred Sunday evening, Algonquin police are looking for a vehicle which left the scene of a three-car collision in front of the Eight Immortals restaurant on Route 31. According to police reports, John P. Hanson, 19, of 22 Arrowhead in Algonquin, died at 3:50 p.m. Friday from injuries he sustained in the Thursday evening accident. The accident occurred at 11:36 p.m. on Route 25 just south of Route 62. (* The car's other passener, Troy Kringstad, 19, also of the same address, was listed in serious condition today in Sherman Hospital in Elgin. According to police reports, Hanson's 1973 Dodge Colt was travelling north on Route 25 when its driver lost control and slid sideways into the south­ bound lane into the path of an Oldsmobile driven by Raymond Carroll, of 116 Austin, Car­ penters ville. Both Hanson and Kringstad were thrown from the vehicle, which split in half on impact with Chrroll's car. Carroll was treated and released for minor injuries at Sherman. In the Sunday evening ac­ cident, Algonquin police are seeking the drivel* of a blue compact car whose license plates have been traced to the Normal, 111., area. Besides injuring several people, the Sunday accident also created a traffic jam on Route 31, causing police to detour motorists while firemen and ambulance personnel assisted victims of the accident. According to Algonquin Police Sgt. Jim Wheelander, the ac­ cident occurred when a vehicle southbound on Route 31 stopped to make a left turn intethe Eight Immortals restaurant. Wheelander said that when the unidentified blue car stopped behind that turning vehicle, a following Chrysler station wagon, Lincoln Continental and Volkswagen Rabbit collided with one another. Karen Berry, a passenger in the Lincoln, and Jodi Grimes, the driver of the Volkswagen, were taken to Northern Illinois Medical Center in McHenry where they were treated and released for minor injuries. In a Sunday morning accident, two area persons were injured when their car slid through a stop sign and struck a pole. The driver, Steven R. Fleming, 22, of Twin Lakes, Wis - and his 18-year-old passenger, Cheryl A. Biggers, 7104 N. Oak, Wonder Lake, were transported to Northern Illinois Medical Center by the Richmond Rescue Squad after the-3:12 a.m. ac­ cident, which occured at the; intersection of Keystone Road and Tryon Grove Road, ac-% cording to McHenry County \ sheriff's police.
