She left our cold weather on Jan. 25 and flew to Oahu to. stay with former residents of our area, Captain and Mrs. Miller. After arriving there life was just one big round of luncheons and dinners in beautiful restaurants and seeing the Islands. One day she attended a 'luncheon tea for dentists' wives and it was held at the Governor's home, after which they l)att a tour of the house and gardens and shook hands with the governor's wife, Mrs. jBrown. A Hawaiian revolving1 festaurant and a visit to the Polynesian Culture Center were enjoyed. Leaving the Islands Vergie tapped at Torrance to visit one of her nieces whom she had never seen. The niece, Grace Kidwell, and her husband, Richard, took her all dyer during the next week, Disneyland, Marineland, Knotts Berry Farm, the Wax Museum, Farmers Market, Music Center, a United Studios tour, the Capistrano Mission, Port of Call Harbor Boat Cruise, CBS and TV City, all in one week. It was just go, go all the time and Vergie enjoyed every minute of if. One day she had lunch with another of our former residents,Helen Smith, and they visited a glass church and Fisherman's Wharf. Helen has an aprtment of her own and is working in Torrance and is very happy although she misses the Shores. While visiting Marineland they watched a filming of an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies and got an autograph from Bruce Cabot. Next on the journey was a visit with another niece, Mrs. Roy Kramer, of Pamona who has a plastic factory in that town. Lunches and a visit to the wineries around that area where they tasted all the different wines including champagne were the high points of the day. Vergie got back to McHenry on Sunday 10 pounds heavier and full of enthusiasm over the last two months. During the next few weeks she is going to look over all the literature she accumulated as she didn't have time to do any reading while she was away. She is going to try to get rid of those extra 10 pounds but says now alll her friends and neighbors here are inviting her over for coffee and cake and goodies so: £be is g$- ing to have a tough time losing, anyhow let's hope she doesn't gain any more.

"The Power of the resurrection" recently received the National Evangelical Film Foundation award as "The film of the year". This powerful film portrays the life of Peter, one of the most outspoken disciples of Jesus. The camera follows Peter as he boasts and brags--and then denies his Lord to run away in fear. But the living, resurrected Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit changed Peter. The Biblical story has appea) for today's audiences in that it stresses the fact that the power of the living Christ is for all time--and offers hope and encouragement to all people everywhere. This will be a highly inspirational film presentation. §1111 The day the roof fell in Usually happens when folks decide they can't afford homeowners insurance-- until a catastrophe hits.
