\ X PAGE 16-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1972 Comments from the Governor (The stale director of con­ servation fills in this *eek for the pnemor. *»ho is on >ac*- tion. in the following special column.) ' B> Henr> N. Rarkhauscn Springfiekl, III. -- Spring is rc;ilK here and nature is coming Jo life \nd there's no better spring tonic than a visit to one of our state parks. These outdoor wonderlands pro­ vide something for almost every body. 1 Spring: comes early to southern Illinois, where the magnolia is in full bloom Soon the area will provide a profusion of beauty, with poach and apple blossoms, dog wood and redbud dotting the land­ scape as far as the eye can see Our state parks in the area afford varied recreational fa­ cilities for camping, fishing, and boating, and offer many scenic »iews. For sheer beauty, a trip into ihe toothills of the 1 title Ozarks dur­ ing ihe month of April can't he beat. One suggestion I have is a trip to Ijiant ( ity Stale Park. 12 miles south of (.arbondale off U.S. Route 51. Ihe peach and apple orchards will be in bloom the week after Faster. P each blossoms appear first, and apple blossoms follow in ,i week or two. SOCIAL SECURITY by John K.

Much has been written and spoken about substandard conditions in nursing homes. There is little doubt that some nursing homes are poor but the vast majority of such homes offer patients a level of care equal to or better than that which they would receive in their children's homes. What should you do if you spot sub-standard conditions in nursing homes where friends or relatives are confined9 Ac­ cording to Allen K. Joy, manager of the Waukegan Social Security office, the Social Security administration now has a program under which the local offices will receive and process such complaints Information about poor quality care, neglect, un­ sanitary or unsafe conditions should be referred to the nearest Social Security office in person or by letter or telephone If requested, the name of the person making the complaint and the name of the patient will be kept con­ fidential. Joy said that the federal government pays only a portion cf the cost of nursing home care under Medicare so it does not have direct enforcement authority Through this program, the Social Security effice will see that complaints get to the proper agency The Social Security office in Waukegan is located at 2500 Grand avenue, Waukegan The telephone number is 244-5050 SOFT WATER SOFT WATER SOFT WATER SOFT WATER Tom Huemann Water Conditioning Service on all Makes Sales-Rental 385-3093 SALT DELIVERY SOFT WATER SOFT WATER SOFT WATER SOFT WATER f he area between C arbondale and C obden provides Ihe visitor with .in extravagance of bcau;y.

Rustic cabins are available for overnight visitors, but if you plan to staV' overnight it is best to make reservations. An overlook from the lodge pro­ vides a panoramic view of the hill country with the Peace Cross atop Ha Id knob in the distance. A nature center and numerous hiking trails provide exciting ex crcisc and recreation, l ittle Grassy I ake. which adjoins Giant City, offers camping, boating and ex­ cellent fishing. Another weekend excursion I w o u l d r e c o m m e n d d u r i n g April would he to Pere Mar­ quette State Park at Grafton in southwestern Illinois, where the Illinois River joins the mighty Mississippi. Pere Marquette, a sprawling area along the bluffs, offers many scenic views of the Illinois countryside. The dogwood and redbud provide a backdrop of sheer bcauly. Multiple rccreation facilities are available at Pere Marquette, in­ cluding camping, boating, hiking and horseback riding The rustic lodge provides hous­ ing facilities for overnight guests and a dining room where you can enjoy another excellent family- style chicken dinner. It's home cooking at its best. If you plan to stay over­ night, you should make reser­ vations. There are many more scenic recreational areas in Illinois that provide excellent family outings. For instance, there is Cave-in-Rock State Park, overlooking the beauti­ ful Ohio River. This park is rich in early pio­ neer river history and houses a notorious river pirate's cave. The park is in the southeastern corner of Illinois, off State Route I. For the angler, why not wet your line either in Lake Shelby- villc, in Shelby County, or in Lake C a r l y l e , a f e w m i l e s n o r t h o f C arlyle off State Route 127? Fishing has been excellent in these two lakes the past month with crappie heading the list. Both lakes provide boating, camping and picnick­ ing, and fishing. Remember ihe o I d fashioned picnic in the parks with hands, parades and barbershop quartets? In May, the Illinois Department of Conservation special events section will recreate this bit of nostalgia at Starved Rook State Park near Utica on May 6 and 7 at the first a n n u a l " T u r n o f t h e C e n t u r y " event. There will be much hoopla, with music, entertainmenl -- including eight barbershop quartets -- slow pilch soflball sanies, hot air bal­ loon races and many other events that will turn hack the clock. Make a date for a trip to famed Starved Rock Park for this special event. Wherever you go, I think >ou will notice the efforts that have heen made to upgrade our parks and conservation areas. Another fresh spring season is starting. Welcome it in the out- of-doors-- in yp^r Illinois parks. \ The Bible Speaks Virgfe L.

McHenry, III. know£J Jr # /THt Wfcalfier IW1U i What causes the damage whpn a tornado strikes a farm or village or city" Is it the force of the wind as it hits structures in it's path" Most often, the greatest damage wrought by a tornado comes from the low pressure inside the funnel, not the strength of the winds that roar around the vortex. A tornado like a hurricane, is a low pressure disturbance, on a very small scale. When this funnel touches the earth--it's always sus­ p e n d e d f r o m a c l o u d -- t h e winds in the circular edges can cause destruction and blow down signs, wires, trees and sometimes even buildings. But, usually, the sudden change of pressure explodes buildings wrecked by tornadoes. For, inside the funnel, air pressure is very low, so low that when the funnel sits down on a house, for exam­ ple, surrounding it, there is not sufficient time for the high p r e s s u r e inside the house to dissipate normally. When a sort of vacuum oc­ curs outside (perhaps with windows and doors closed), the high-pressure air inside the house literally bursts out, sometimes taking win­ dows and doors and walls down in the process. Gossip is an elusive, but dangerous substance. Avoir4 it. - By Virgle Chappell, pastor, First Baptist Church of McHenry "For tome to live is Christ and to die is gain". Philippians 1:21. Our philosophy of life and concept of death determines almost totally our outlook and adjustment in everyday life. Those pur­ poses and goals in one's personal life and tlx clearnesswith which one sees these goals identified, determines his day by day con­ frontation with life. When these purposes and goals are unwisely chosen, there comes about afrustrationin the personal life which will lead toemotional upheavals which will often end even in death. Probably there has never been a person alive who had more cause for emotional breakdown or personal destruction than Paul, the apcetle. There was hardly a circumstance in which he became involved that did not eventually "explode". He relates (2 Corin­ thians 11:2Iff) a few of his personal experiences which helps us understand something of the emotional strain placed upon this man. He speaks of numerous imprisonments, often near death, of five lashings and three beatings, a stoning (an ancient method of execution) where he was left for dead, three times involved in shipwreck, not to mention the constant, ever-present dangers of travel in those days. He speaks of the rejection of himself by his own people and their determination to destroy him. Though I am sure that in many of these circumstances there was anxiety to be found in the aposUe's mind, these anxieties never led to frustration. The apostle could not remember when he was not personally committed to God, And then, on the road to Damascus one day, he experienced a dramatic confrontation with Jesus Christ (Acts 9:1-19 KJV). This personal confrontation with Christ so affected the life of Paul that he often spoke of the experience as the climatic experience of his total life. From that point on all purposes and goals were centered in Christ. Anxieties could not lead to frustration because Jesus Christ maintained ultimate control of each situation. "I know how to be abased, and I know how to. abound... I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content," (Phil. 4:11, 12 KJV) was the apostle's explanation of his nonfrustrated life. But the apostle's philosophy did not end with his concept of Christ's involvement in his day by day life. He saw as an absolute truth, "to die is gain". This was not a pessimistic philosophy of simply being free from the anxieties of this world but a definite and positive anticipation of life with Jesus Christ after death! A man who had lived to experience so many near tragedies in his life, undoubtedly knew that one, someplace, sometime, would be his last. Unless his personal approach to life changed, odds increased almost daily that a stone would find its mark, another lashing would be one too many or a shipwreck would end it all. However, it would seem that he never considered that change. Instead his personal faith in the provision of Jesus Christ for his life took on new proportions. "I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed untohimagainstthatday". (2Timothy 1:12,KJV). Tradition tells us that the apostle came to "that day" a short time later when, at the hands of the Roman government, he was beheaded. We see from the life of this great man that happiness and abundance of life is not dependent upon either the presence or absence of trying situations, but more upon the proper selection of goals or objectives toward which one would move. For this apostie, the center of it all was Jesus Christ. /dttend CH SERVICES I IS ANSWERS ANSWERS ANSWE IS ANSWERS ANSWERS ANSWE SANSWfilV MRS ANSWE uewe II WW MR NSWE IICWI ItIJF If MR NSWE ANSWE (SANS mm WJM si NSWE NSWE uruic lliff 1 NSWE •SWE ISA tSANS ISANS An adding machine performs accurately for anyone who uses it correctly.
