PAGE 9-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 1971 Whispering Oaks Gertrude Disney 385-7515 Eltofts Show Norway Slides To Senior Citizens A number of the members of the Senior Citizens Club of Whispering Oaks enjoyed the slides shown by Mr. and Mrs. Ted Eltoft of their trip to Norway i A few highlights of their flight was that their plane carried 250 passengers. They flew to Oslo, Norway, which is the capital, stopping to land only once at Iceland to refuel. The flight took about nine hours from O'Hare. When they arrived in Oslo there were close to a dozen of Mr. Eltoft's relatives to meet and greet them. Mrs. Eltoft was presented with two beautiful bouquets of flowers, she felt like a queen. They visited a few days in Oslo until they were able to make reservations to go up north where they have the midnight sun for about thirty days. Tbey traveled by train close $0 1,000 miles. Ted knew Mae would be able to enjoy the scenery so much more by train traveling. The mountains were beautiful, the waterfalls gushing down from them. On their way they had made arrangements to stop at Troodheim, Norway, where Mae's father was born, on an COLLECTORS j See What We Have To Offer In Coins & Collecting Books. i STEFAN'S WATCH REPAIR 1222 N.Green 385-6070 island of Hitra. It is the fifth largest island in Norway. Mae has a number of cousins there. It was exciting to meet them for the first time. One of her cousins was so wonderful to them. He took them all around to meet the rest of the cousins and he went with them to the island of Hitra, where they went to see the farm where Mae's father was born. The house is still there. They say the farm is about 1,000 years old. From there they traveled up to the town of Bodo where Ted was raised, and where they saw the midnight sun, it surely was a spectacle to behold. They will never forget it From Bodo they made arrangements to travel back by boat to Troodheim, that took twenty-four hours. On the return south from Bodo, they saw the coastal scenery and Fjords, which were beautiful. From Troodheim they took a train back to Oslo. There they visited again with so many relatives and friends. They took them around to see many in­ teresting places. They had a wonderful trip and Mae says she thinks Norway is a beautiful country. But it is good to be in America. NEWS BITS Mr. and Mrs. William Litt- chen, 1006 Hampton Court, are from Elmwood Park. They lived there for 26 years.

CIVIL DEFENSE It looks as though we may have a Director of Civil Defense soon. 1 attended a very interesting meeting and learned quite a lot about what this job will entail and why we do need a Director of Civil Defense. There will of course be a need of volunteers to help the director. To begin with at least twenty-five volunteers will be needed for a course in medical self care, no charge to you of course. That number is to make it worthwhile for the instructor to come out. There is a home study course available to any citizen who wants to know more about civil defense. There is no charge at all for this home study course and a certificate is awarded. There is nothing definite as yet as soon as there is you will read it here. Senoir high school students and college students are en­ couraged to volunteer their services. Please anyone of any age see what you can do to help. If you are at least a senior high school age come on do your bit for the community we need you. Names will be taken now if you do wish to help, phone the village clerk.

MARCH 8 MEETING Bill Cristy introduced the speaker for the evening. He was Juan Vallet of Chile, who is an AFS student at McHenry high school. The youth told Kiwanians there is a Marxist form of government in Chile which is new to the country. The main industry there is copper mining which was formerly operated by American industry but has now been taken over by the new government. Since there is little agriculture in Chile, most of their food is imported. There are only two classes of people, the rich and the poor. However, even the poor can get a free education through college level but Juan stated that when people are hungry, they are not interested in education. Therefore, not everyone takes advantage of this free educational opportunity. An interesting question and answer period was held following Juan's talk. The average gal seems to be looking for two things -- a match, and a guy with money to burn.
