Abby, some chefs may make that kind of money, but there's a big dinerence between a cook and a chef.

Fortunately, the waiters and waitresses do share their tips with him, but it's not much. Don't get me wrong; everybody in the restaurant business really works hard and few get rich, but if there's an extra tip to be given, remind your readers to give it to the busboy.

DfiJ Wedding Policy The McHenry Plaindealer Herald will print weddings in their entirety up to one month after the ceremony. Howevei we know many couples do not receive their wedding photos within one month after the ceremony. The bride may bring in a completed wedding write-up, without the photo. It will be dated and held until a photo becomes available. In this way, the newlyweds do not have to depend on a photographer to determine the length of their wedding write up that is published in the newspaper. From one to two months after the occasion, all gown descriptions and receptions assistants' names will be omitted. After two months, weddings will be shortened to names, date, site attendants and officiating person at the ceremony, parents' names, couple's education and where they will reside. This information will be printed^withoutphoto. Once submitted within these deadlines, we take responsibility for publica­ tion. The most efficient means of handling the Information is to pick up a wed­ ding form at the McHenry Plaindealer Herald office. Flowers and gown descriptions can then be inserted as preparations are completed. Forms should be typed or printed legibly. Couples may also write their own accounts using the information we seek, subject to editing for style. The McHenry Plaindealer Herald will only accept responsibility for black and white photos. However we will accept color photos which are sharply focused and where the couples standout from the background. We encourage couples to pick up their photos as soon as they are published in the newspaper, or provide a stamped, self-addressed envelope for their return.
