Recall Pilgrimage To Ofd Illinois Diocese (by Father Wm O.Hanner) It is great fun to renew old friendships, to see again those you once worked with. During the years 1940 to 19491 was rector of Trinity church, Rock Island, 111. This congregation is still wor­ shipping in a church building erected in 1869. It is one of the decreasing number of churches now 106 years old in which congregations still meet and worship as did their forebears. There are whole families that have been baptized, confirmed, married and buried from this old Trinity church. It is part of the diocese of Quincy. This diocese of the Episcopal church is one of the half dozen smallest dioceses we have. It has only about twenty parishes and about the same number of clergy. It occupies the land between the Mississippi and Illinois rivers and is known to its inhabitants as "The Land Between the rivers." Its main towns are Peoria, Rock Island, Moline, Galesburg, Macomb, and Quincy. Its bishop long lived in Quincy. Although now the Cathedral and the Bishop are in Peoria, the century old name remains. On Sept. 8 the diocese con­ secrated its sixth bishop. Those of us who know and love the old diocese made our pilgrimages back to her to say our prayers in her churches and to lend the moral support of our presence. The Vicar of St. Paul's church here in McHenry took me. We drove in his car. He is the Rev. Arthur McKay, a graduate of Nashotah house, a theological seminary near Oconomowoc, Wis. 'It was the dean of this seminary, the Very Rev. Donald J. Parsons, who was being made the new Bishop of Quincy. A dozen bishops were present, froffi the Most Rev. John Hines, presiding Bishop, to the Rt. Rev. Charl&s Gaskell, whose consecration I attended last JiuhT in Milwaukee. Combined choirs from several parishes sang. The organ was assisted by drums, strings and a fanfare of trumpets. The modern, new cathedral was filled a half hour before the service. People had come from the Virgin Islands and Georgia to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan; from New York to Nebraska. So amid hymn and harp, with acclamation and with silence, with prayer and homily a new successor to the apostolic labors was set apart. After the service ended buses took people to the lunch at the hotel. There we all chatted with our friends and the visitors from near and far. The presiding Bishgp spoke to the luncheon guests. The new Bishop, in turn, replied. Father McKay and I were fortunate to sit at a table with Professor Marcus Goldman, retired, of the University of Illinois. Professor Goldman, a devout churchman, sincere Christian, was professor of English. Also at our table was George N. Miles, who was in my class at North Western university in Evanston and was active in the field of municipal investments. Another diner at our table was Robert S. Calkins sometime State's Attorney for Peoria county. Both of these gentlemen knew a good many people in McHenry and McHenry county and asked after people whom I have not had the privilege of knowing. The point in my telling you all of this is, it is important for clergy to get about and know what is going on within their churches. They need to know the leaders of their groups personally. They need to rub elbows with other clergy and to listen to news and new ideas. This is one of the reasons Father McKay and I went on the trip. While I was there I had conversation with the Bishop of Georgia, who succeeded me as rector of St. Stephens church, Miami, Florida; With Canon Channing Savage, now retired, my neighbor in Moline while I was at Rock Island. Bishop Charles Gaskell of Milwaukee, a friend of twenty-five years, visited with me a few moments. Old parishioners from Rock Island greeted me. The rector of Quincy, 111., shared break­ fast with us. He and I had been close when I was in Kenilworth and he in Glenview. Encourage your clergy to get about in your churches. See that they do. Help pay their way. Encourage them to take sabbatical leaves. Your churches and organizations will benefit from their renewed insights and enthusiasms. You can't get new ideas out of a tired village-bound clergyman who neither travels nor reads. Help your clergy to do both.

An­ derson (R. 111.) has sponsored legislation that would bar discrimination based on sex or marital status in the extension of credit. Anderson, chairman of the House Republican conference, joined 45 other House members in offering the measure, which he called "a significant step toward financial equality for men and women, married or single." Marian Activity Period Kicked-Off At Assembly Marian Central Catholic hign school held its first all-school assembly recently. The pur­ pose was to inform the student body of the clubs available to them and to present the students with ideas and programs planned for this year's activity period. Marian's dean of students, Lou Hartlieb, opened the assembly by greeting the fresh­ men and new students to Marian. Also, Sharon Sasch, the new Math teacher, and William Kosson, new Sociology and Psychology teacher, were introduced to the students. After the introductions, it was then explained that ac­ tivity period emphasizes learning outside the classroom, becoming involved in student events, and working together with other students on club projects and activities. The first student speaker of the assembly was Rick Landre, president of Marian's Student Council. He explained the changes in the student government worked on by himself, Student Council members, and their advisor Robert Gough. He explained that every class will have an equal representation of five members, doing away with upperclassmen dominance" of Student Council represen­ tatives. To remain on the Council, the representatives will work on a point system, which will also be used for students not on the Council. A student who gains and main­ tains a certain number of-points will be given a seat on the Council. Those who fall below a set number of points are removed from the student government. Landre also stated a Board of Students has been created this year con­ sisting of ^Robert Gough, the Student Council, and the class presidents. This committee will hear all student complaints and grievances and will act in an advisory capacity. After he concluded his ex­ planation of a much-revised Student Council he introduced the "club speakers. These speakers explained when the club meetings are held, what programs and activities they provide, and who is allowed to join. Advice is a poor substitute for example. The Law Serves You Your Home Is Worth More Today? Then It May Be Under-Insured If you are a homeowner, you can say for certain that the fire insurance coverage on your house is sufficient to cover its replacement value in today's rising real estate market? Increased building costs together with other factors, including any improvements you may have made to your home, are almost certain to have increased its value con­ siderably during the past few years. Meanwhile, if the limits of your fire insurance coverage have remained unchanged, you would probably be inadequately compensated for the loss if your house were to be destroyed, or even partially damaged, by fire. According to the Illinois State Bar association, to be adequately protected against fire or other catastropiie, a home should be insured at 80 per cent of replacement value, PAGE 7 - PLA1NDEALER - WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19,1973 Q5E59EBHBKESS999HKI amount, he is compensated for damage only at the rate of replacement cost less depreciation. The policyholder can hedge against future increases in the replacement value of his home by subscribing to an "in­ flationary guard endorsement" to his policy. If he does this, the insurance coverage will be increased automatically every three months at a specified rate designed to keep coverage in line with replacement value. Under a broad form "HO" policy, personal property, including furniture, clothing and other contents of the house are insured up to 50 per cent of the amount of insurance on the dwelling. However, the owner should be sure that this arrangement will provide adequate compensation in case of loss. People who rent their house or apartment also can insure their personal possessions under tenants' policies. To be sure their insurance coverage is up to date, homeowners should consult their insurance agent or broker, the ISBA said. assuming 20 per cent of the value is in underground im­ provements which would escape destruction. In many cases, insurance at 100 per cent of value is desirable, meaning the face value of the policy, plus any increases by en­ dorsement, should be the same as the current market value of your home. Here are other insurance guidelines offered by the ISBA: The insurance policy should include protection against a variety of perils, including fire and lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion and possibly riot damage and other perils. A fire-and- e xte n de d-coverage policy or package-type Homeowners, or "HO", policy offers this kind of broad coverage. The "HO" policyholder who maintains his insurance at 80 per cent of value is reimbursed at full repair or replacement cost in event of partial damage to his home. On the other hand, if he is insured at less than that It may be hard for parents to lose a beautiful, talented, daughter -- but it's much harder to lose a homely, awk­ ward, one. spurgeon's » flnnUflL FALL EYE HEALTH Literature on all aspects of eye health and safety, and films for free loan or purchase, are available from the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness.

(Don Peasley Photo) THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT CONSERVING ELECTRICITY Proper insulation can mean a savings for you in winter. And in summer too. The better your insulation, the less heat you lose in winter. Your heating system doesn't have to run as often, or as long, to keep you warm. You save. Now think about this: the same insulation that helps keep heat inside in winter helps keep it outside in summer. Even if you don't have air conditioning, in­ sulation puts a barrier between you and the heat outside. If you have air conditioning, youll find it doesn't have to work nearly as hard to keep you cool. You save again. What is proper insulation? Recommendations vary with the type of construction. The ability of an insulating material to resist the flow of heat is measured in a unit called R-Value. The higher the R-Value the better the therm­ al resistance of the insulation. With electrically heated homes, we recommend the equivalent of R-19 in the ceiling, R-l 1 in the walls, and R-l 1 in the floor. In all cases, the better the insula­ tion, the more efficiently the heating and cooling systems will operate. If you're building a new home, check with your builder to see that you're getting the maximum insulation for your living space. If you feel your present house is under-insulated, an insulating contractor or supplier can show you how to improve it.
