ornia Hanners Enjoy Favorite Father Hanner's Chinese New Year, hotel and Transatlantic building. by Father Wm. 0. Hanner After our trip about the harbor we went into town for dinner. Downtown San Diego had deteriorated from its early days. It was a ghetto and shamble of old, ill cared for structures. This is now all changed. New hotels and fine downtown urban renewal projects give the center of the city great distinction. A beautiful city hall, fire department and mall have been engineered in the old "downtown". There are bushes and trees. There is "slot" parking for unloading so that traffic is not slowed. The traffic lights are made to conform to nearby construction so that beauty and unity are wedded. We went to dinner in one of the new hotels. Aubussan rugs were in the lobby. At dinner we were served by highly trained waiters. They knew the menu and preparation of its items. I enjoyed abalone, a tough, heavy shelled creature of Mexican waters. It was so superbly prepared I could cut it with a fork as the waiter told me. Mrs. Hanner had a superb cordon bleu. We were given warmed spoons on a napkin for our soup and chilled forks for the crisp salad. The bill, like the one at Madison, Wis., last fall, was in keeping with food and service, but, as I have said- -it was well worth its cost. Good food and great service do not come cheap. Friday came. We were back on the train for a full day trip to San Francisco. We took this portion of the trip in a day coach. I have a niece who refuses to travel any other way. She says you meet the most interesting people in railway coaches. She is right. First there were noisy children. It is amazing to me that so many people were traveling with children-- everywhere we went. It would be natural to suppose that they should have been in school. No, a lot of parents had lifted them bodily from classrooms and were touring all over the West with them. The club car was a regular nursery on every train we boarded. One obstreperous little miss was warned by her mama that she would get herself spanked if she did not mend her ways. She didn't and her mama did. Quiet reigned. A Catholic priest came aboard and sat across the aisle from me. We visited and discussed theology and the QUEEN JUDGING Twenty-one girls have been nominated by the seven schools invited to participate in Harvard's contest for a Milk queen to reign at Milk Day festiyities. From this number seven will be selected by the judges at the preliminary judging April l in the Moose lodge in Harvard. All the girls . are juniors or seniors and have been chosen by their schoolmates as the best representatives of their schools. From Alden-Hebron, there will be Melodie Bentley, Patricia Lalor and Brenda Stanley; from Big Foot- Walworth, Cathy Bilsborough, Cindy Theys and Undy Theys; from Harvard, Maria Cerveney, Linda Rich and Judy Soucie; from Huntley; Sally Strissell, Sherri Verhaeghe and Pam Zimrjiermari; from Marengo, Marta Richard, Ruth Stohlquist and Lori Wegelen; from North Boone, Linda Bremer, Terri Lynn Gerrish and Del'ie Nielsen, and Richmond-Burton, Monica Bossow, Cindy Coon and Hallie Thompson. church today. He taught in his church's schools. A pleasant and learned gentleman. A few years back clergy didn't visit so easily on trains and in public as they do nowadays. Up ahead of us rode Mrs. Alphia Duncan. Mrs. Duncan lives at 1643 East 36th Street in Tacoma, Wash. Mrs. Duncan is a black lady and is a credit to herself and to her people. She had been back to Mississippi to visit her relations and was now on her way home. She had lived in the Northwest for years. She told me how to make cucumber pickles. I hope I have this right. Says Ms. Duncan- "First, you branches 'em. Then you wash'em. Get your jars real clean-scald them. Put in the branched cucumbers; sprinkle with salt and pepper , add garlic and hot vinegar. Seal shut with hot wax." (I've seen my own mother can this way) Now I am not a cook. I would not dare to try to pickle cukes. Mrs. Duncan said for me to try it. It would work fine. I went over the recipe twice with her but somehow I'm not a pickle man. But I'd like to try pickles made with this recipe. We got into San Francisco late. The train ends in Oakland and you go across the Bay bridge in a railroad bus. We had.p. fine hotel on the edge of Chinatown. Our rooms were on the 17th floor on the Bay side. The lighthouse on Alcatraz winked at us. Off to the left was the Golden Gate bridge. The Bay wound around to our right. The lights of Berkeley and Oakland and Sausalito diamonded at us from the bracelet of cities that ring of San Francisco. Ships were moored in the harbor. Over in Chinatown it was the Chinese New Year. Air bombs exploded high overhead. Giant firecrackers woke the night. It was exciting. San Francisco promised to be rewarding and fun.

Family Counseling Clinic Conducted At Baptist Church A Home-Family Living clinic is being conducted at the First Baptist church of McHenry. Sessions, led by Dr. David Williams, are being held at 6 p.m. each Sunday evening, March 24 & 31, and April 7. These sessions are open to the public for all persons of junior high age through adult. Dr. Williams is a graduate of Northern Illinois university and counsels professionally in Princeton, III. He spent several years in the pastorate before entering the counseling profession. "Dr. David Williams is uniquely qualified to lead us in these group counseling sessions on home and family relationships," was the observance of Lee Chappell, business manager of the church. "We hope there will be several persons outside our church fellowship who will take advantage of this opportunity." A nursery is being provided for children under 4 years of age. There is no charge being made for this service. HOST CLERGYMEN - Pictured above are McHenry county clergymen and county funeral directors. The clergymen were hosted by the funeral directors at a meeting held in Rockford and Chicago. Rabbi Earl Grollman, author of "Talking About Death," "Concerning Death... a Guide for the Living" and other books, told northern Illinois clergymen at Rockford and Chicago that1 death is not a word to fear. He set out several recommendatipns to over 200 clergymen, approximately forty-three from the McHenry county area: ....Funerals should be honest. A clergyman should speak factually about the deceased and resist a temptation to over- eulogize. ...Funerals should not be private because the value of community support is an important aspect of initiating healthy grieving. ...Children have a right to attend funerals if they are intf»r#»sted. . . .and most over age six are prepared to understand death. ..."Dead, die and death are proper words." 'Passed away' is useless euphemism," Grollman stated. "Expire is what happens to drivers' licenses, people die," the clergyman said. ..."Ceremonies of life include baptisms, confirmations, weddings and deaths...for funerals serve the living," Grollman explained. ...Clergymen serve their community and congregations well when they recognize a survivor's emotional needs three, six and nine months after the loss of a loved one." Talking about the decased," Grollman stated, "is what survivors want and need to do. Talking about everything else does not help as much as listening to a person speak what is on his mind." < The conference, one of five to be held throughout Illinois, was sponsored by the Illinois Funeral Directors association. GAIL STERN ENGAGED - Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Stern of Chicago announce the engagement of their daughter, Carol Gail, to Glenn Richard Olsen, son of Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy E. Olsen, 313 N. Front street, McHenry. Miss Stern is a graduate of Northern Illinois university and Mr. Olsen received his Bachelor's degree from Oberlin college, Oberlin, Ohio. Currently, both young people are pursuing graduate studies at Northern Illinois university in DeKalb. A December wedding is planned. by BOB JUSTEN The Berlin wall of shame will forever be pictured in history with horror. The barricade of stone, barbed wire, electrified and mined, was designed not only to keep people from getting in or out of east and west zones, it also was built to curtain the minds of people. It succeeded in restricting travel. It failed to suppress the instincts of men. No such wall can suffocate a soul or prevent enlightened ideas from breaking through. This is a lesson from history some people in our midst should remember. They are trying to build verbal walls to suppress individual freedom. They are trying to build verbal walls to suppress individual freedom. They want the right to be heard on their side of the wall but refuse the right of others to be heard on the other side of the wall. They want to create their own walled-in domain to house their demands. Our national attitude of permissiveness that allows hecklers to shout loud catcalls and obscenities at public officials needs a change. Our Bill of Rights protecting free speech provides a right to build bridges for com­ munication. It does not provide a right to build walls t o s i l e n c e c o m m u n i c a t i o n . . .
