Dieterle of McHenry announce the engagement of their daughter Kathleen Marie to Thomas Francis Stanek, son of Frank and Mariene Stanek of Schaumburg.

Senior citizens' lunch Although the caterer for meals for the McHenry County Senior Citizens Council Meet & Eat program requests that participants sign up for meals one week in advance, they allow changes to be made in the meal count 24 hours prior to each serving. In other words, people can call the center they attend and reserve a meal 24 hours ahead of the day they plan to attend. For example, those desiring to eat lunch on Friday may call Thursday morning and make reservations. Reservations for meals at the McHenry Meet & Eat Center for the week of July 8 through July 12 should be made by calling 385- 8260 by Tuesday, July 2. The that week is as Beef stew with sliced potatoes, juice, biscuit, chilled pineapple, * Hurt mother discovers her 'perfect' child has a flaw DEAR ABBY: Three weeks ago I accidentally found my daughter's birth control pills, and I haven't been able to sleep since. She's 18, a straight-A student and active in our church. She's worked since she was 16 and saved every penny for college. She was a perfect child (we thought). She's planning to go away to college in the fall. When I found those pills I hit the ceiling and told her since she's having sex, she should get married ana forget about college. I didn't really mean it, but she hurt me so bad I wanted to hurt her. Her steady boyfriend is in his second year of college. He still picks her up but doesn't come in the house. We used to think he was tops. He doesn't drink or smoke and he goes to our church. My husband was heartsick when I told him, but he hasn't said anything to our daughter. He's too embarrassed, I guess maybe we should be thankful that she is smart enough to go to a doctor for pills, but I can't condone premarital sex. What should I do? DISAPPOINTED MOM DEAR MOM: You shouldn't "do" anything other than accept the fact that your daughter is no longer a minor and you can't' control her actions. I am not asking you to condone premarital sex, but I urge you not to destroy your once wonderful mother-daughter relationship because you don't see eye to eye on this one issue. Be thankful she's not risking pregnancy, and love her for her admirable qualities. She appears to have many. DEAR ABBY: Amy and I are getting married next month. We are both 23 and very much in love, but we're having a minor disagreement we can't seem to settle. I have never smoked, but Amy has been a heavy cigarette smoker since high school, and she's made it very clear that she plans to smoke at our wedding reception. She says that after the ceremony she will "need" a cigarette to calm her nerves, and she's sure our guests will un­ derstand. I told her that the sight of a bride smoking a cigarette in her bridal gown and veil would be disgusting and probably a breach of etiquette. I've sadly accepted Amy's addiction to nicotine, but is it unreasonable to ask her to refrain from smoking on this very special occasion? «i\in*ED OUT DEAR SMOKED OUT: Yes. Nicotine addicts "need" a cigarette when they are under pressure. I agree a bride in gown and veil does not a pretty picture make with a cigar, in hand, but since you so strongly object, ask her to excuse herself and smoke in private when she feels the "need." DEAR Abb\ : t oi years 1 ve ueen trying 10 una ine answei lo this question: How did "Peggy" come to be the nickname for "Margaret"? I hope you or one of your readers can come up with the answer, as I have been trying for years to find out without success. My given name is Margaret, but I have always been called Peggy. I like the name of Peggy, but when people ask me how Margaret came to be Peggy, I don't have an answer. PEGGY (REALLY MARGARET) DEAR PEGGY: If someone out there knows the answer, I'll pass it along.

Here are some ways to help put a freeze on summer cooling costs: Clean or replace air con­ ditioning filters at least once a month. When the filter is dirty, the fan has to run longer to move the same amount of air. Run dishwashers, laundry machines and other energy consuming applicances in the early morning and late evening when power loads are lighter. Electricity costs more when utilities have to operate at full demand. Avoid cooking and turning on lights during the middle of the day. JULY 13 McH. Sportsmen's Club-Weingart Rd. Public Welcome.
