Ida is not enjoying good health so her sister wrote a nice note. Mayme, McHenry's Poet Laureate, wrote this note: "May all good things, for which you strive, Be yours in 1985." Ernie Banks, in his efforts to predict, in verse, each coming year for his beloved Cubs, could take lessons from Mayme. That New Yorker magazine which sold for 15 cents in 1921 now costs a buck and a half. No. .1 didn't say there were only five in McHenry. It was five names posted in the West McHenry Post Office. I wouldn't know about the OLD SAYING: What they don't bother them. know won't It has been a trying three weeks listening to reports on the Chicago teachers' strike and Rick Sutcliffe's multi-million dollar salary. Sutcliffe says the huge amount of money won't change his life style. Maybe one million wouldn't be enough to change most of us, but two million might go to our heads. A group discussing income tax said I once wrote that names of persons having to file were posted in the Ppst Office. So I Hear by Earl Walsh Crime of the Week E • This week Crime Stoppers is Seeking information on two Surgalaries that occurred in the feame week, and the same Cary business was the victim of both fcrimes. On Tuesday, Oct. 23, and fcgain on Thursday, Oct. 25, burglars broke into Cary Auto JBody, located at 508 Cary- Algonquin Rd. The suspects gained entry to the business' parking lot by cutting a section of fence. Once inside, they took rime 459-4800 items from cars that were in for repair. In the first burglary, several car stereos, including a C.B. radio-stereo combination and two speakers were stolen. Duri.ig the second burglary, the thieves took four 14-inch rally sport steel wheels with T-A radial tires and four 15-inch Z-28 gold color mag wheels with Goodyear Eagle tires.* Total loss in the two burglaries ap­ proaches $3,000. Crime Stoppers pays cash rewards of up to $1,000 for in­ formation leading to the arrest and filing of criminal charges against offenders. If you have any information on these two burglaries to Cary Auto Body, or information on any other crimes, call Crime Stoppers at (815)459-4800. All callers remain anonymous- one never needs to give a name. Crime Stoppers, wfiich is sponsored by the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce, assigns secret numbers to anonymous callers, who provide in­ formation. Callers are in­ structed to call back at regular intervals to find out if any suspects have been arrested as a result of confidential in­ formation given. If there are arrests, the Crime Stoppers board of directors then meets to determine an ap­ propriate reward. A secret meeting is arranged to make the cash reward payments. Anonymous callers to Crime Stoppers do not have to appear in court. East Side since I was strictly a West Sider. There was no witholding in those days, but the names.on the bulletin board left no doubt about who was in the bucks. More than one person has said that if you can drive in McHenry on Friday or Saturday, you can drive anyplace. Larry Geier told us about putting up a special bird feeder last year for his mother and Aunt Helen in attracting finches We put up one of those feeders this year and eight of those little feathered friends showed up right away. Those fussy finches want thistle seeds. . Talk about balancing the budget! Our feed bill for livestock in our back forty is an item. At this point, I am trying to- recall some thoughts that came my way in early morning. Instead of writing them down, I took off for church and must have prayed myself right out of those thoughts. MEMORIES: When I was 17 years old, I said to my father, "When I get married, I'm going to be boss in the house." He took his pipe out of his mouth, gave me the eye and said, "Young man, you've got an awful lot to learn." Newspapers have been carrying stories of how to get through the holiday season without gaining weight. Words! If you like a lettuce on rye crisp sandwich, you may get through. Exercise? The old story about pushing away from the table being the best excercise is still true. Please pass the dressing and gravy.
