\ Ask us about the PACK X_* PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY. JUNE 14, 1974 Part Of God's Good Creation Lies In Ozarks B (by Father William 0. Hanner, McHenry, retired Episcopal ) Oil the first Sunday in June, Mrs. Hanner and I took a short business trip into northeastern Arkansas. This is the land of the Ozark mountains. We were heading for the town of Eureka SpringB. There I was to see two people-Father Howard L. Poland and Mrs. Jerald Hank. We went by way of St. Louis, where we spent a confortable night and got into Eureka Springs around 4 in the afternoon. We lunched beside the road both days in roadside parks. This is a trick we love because , it saves time and occasionally a little money. In Eureka Springs we chose a comfortable, conveniently located new motel. The rooms and beds were clean and well cared for. Full of hope, we went to the dining room for dinner. It was done in 1890 style with a gazebo effect and hand painted murals on the walls - an 1890 decor. The dining room .was - pleasant in appearance and ' here we were served one of the most atrociously cooked and over-priced meals that have been foisted off on us for many •a long day. We never went back and ate much better meals thereafter in much less showy places at far more reasonable prices. Huckleberry pie is a local treat and tastes from fair to superb. The Ozarks are vey old mountains. They have volcanic cores overlaid with sedimentary rocks eroded and worn to a forested plateau boasting elevations of around 1,500 feet. The Ozarks cover about 50,000 square miles. Two- thirds are in southern Missouri, one-fourth lies in northern Arkansas. There are small overlaps in Illinois and Oklaboira.This area abounds in scenery, man-made lakes, wildlife, spas and resorts. It is a great vacation land. Father Foland operates the Episcopal Book club and a quarterly called the Anglican Digest. We had heard of his work for many years. He had 190,000 names in his files to whom the Digest goes and a lesser number of subscribers to books. He is mighty proud of his ration, and "well "may he be. ie offices are in an old barn, but it is the fanciest old barn I have seen. Over three score and ten years of living. Father Foland's desk is pure delight to me. He has it piled high with past, present and future problems of his enterprise'. It looked so much like mine. I recognized a kindred spirit. If a busy secretary, wife or cleaning lady laid hands on our desks we would be put back sue months trying to relocate misplaced and vital impedimenta. From the porch of his house you gaze off over 3,100 acres of land which forms the future endowment of his work. The hills roll away, green and inviting. You drink with your eyes. In those hills are spots of beauty and no doubt of danger, there are deer and maybe bear. There are diamond backs and racers. There are trees of many sorts and streams for fish. It is part of God's good creation. Five years ago I was with Mrs. Hanner in Edinbourgh Scotland. On Sunday morning, as is our life time habit, we went to church. The service somehow never jelled for me. I know our Lord was there but he was hidden from me by my own thought and .1 think the cold service. Later that morning we walked down the Royal Mile from Edinbourgh Castle to Holyrood Palace. Enroute we passed near St. Paul's church, one of our ancient places of worship. On a chance we went in. The altar was candle lit and incensed wreathed, the choir was chanting Agnus Dei, the whole full congregation was on its knees, what a difference! (I knelt beside a man my senior who wore a faded blue kilt. I lifted up my heart and mind. I was home with God-that God who is eternal and loves us all.) Three months later back in. McHenry I got a book from Father Folands Episcopal Book club. It was by the rector of that Edinbourgh parish, Father Richard Holloway. Its title was Let God Arise. I devoured that book. I preached with its ideas in mind for many months. I was aroused and enthused. Congregations responded to the sermons. It was good.The result was certainly part of Father Foland's work. I paraphrase Shakespeare, "See how far yon candle sheds its beams-so shines a good bode in a naughty world." "Every generation is equadistant from God. Our generation has less patience in seeking Him." (Fr. Holloway's Book, page 168). Father Foland's job is to give us l^oks. This he does and his work brings help and aid to others. After looking over is plant we said Vespers with him in his chapel and then he had us to dinner with two of his staff. It was a blessed time. Across.the miles I salute him and his work.

SHOON WILD PONY ' OF THE MOORS by Eunice Young Smith Author of the Jennifer Books One evening as tfce moon rises through the mist on the desolate moors of Southern England, Loren sees a colt with white tail and mane following a herd of moorland ponies. The young boy, drawn towards a creature whose markings are so different from its breed, searches the moors for the colt and discovers it a few nights later, hurt and helpless with fright. Murmuring soothing words, Loren bandages its cuts, crooning a special name for the animal: Shoon. As the colt responds to his love, a bond grows between him and the animal, until Loren realizes that he will never be happy unless Shoon belongs to him. But Shoon's existence must remain a secret; Loren knows that die Exmoor Pony Society, which keeps records of the breed, may take steps to get rid of a pony with freak markings. During the long months before Shoon can be separated from its dam, Loren manages to keep it hidden on the moors, far from the herd. This is the story of how Loren dreams, works and saves to buy the pony he longs for at the annual auction at the Bampton Fair -and of his terrible disappointment when it appears that all his hard work has been in vain. But Loren does not know how strong Shoon's love for him is, nor what an animal is capable of doing for its real master. Eunice Young Smith captures the grandeur of the moorland country in this haunting and lyrical horse story which will become a favorite with all her readers. GHOST DOG OF KILLCUT By Mel Ellis Illustrated by Dick Amundsen The fishermen of Killicut, Wisconsin, have seen a ghost. Or have they? Eighteen-year- FORMAL WEAK RENTAL ALL OCCASIONS old Guy Hardin doesn't ithink so. But Guy has a vested interest in believing that the ghostly black Labrador everyone's talking about is flesh and blood. The dog has a $3,000 reward on his head, and Guy needs that money desperately-to keep his boat..to stay in Killicut instead of living in Milwaukee with older brother... and to realize his dream of some day owning a whole chain of fishing boats, packing houses, and fish stores. Still, no ordinary dog could survive on the desolate Raspberry Islands of Lake Michigan, especially with winter craning on. And though scores of people have reported seeing the magnificent black animal, no search party so far has been able to put a rope on him. Guy sets out with Muggsy, his own dog, to capture the renegade. In the course of the . chase he almost loses Muggsy, nearly sinks his boat, and comes very close to dying of exposure. The author sensitively portrays Guy's despair and exhilaration as he battles the sea, cold, fire, and fog..his close relationship with Muggsy, and his mysterious bond with the gho6Uy black renegade...and his struggle to forge a career and a way of life that please him, despite the disapproval of older friends and relatives. Ghost Dog of Killicut is a thoroughly absorbing tale of adventure and suspense, with a surprise twist at the end. feeftl £ Sfeuol, ....91 itMibMMft 1214 N.

Because of his army experience with the K-9 corps, Bob was a good judge of a dog's ability. He proved as much when he took Omar, a dog rejected by the force for lack of intelligence, and trained him to the point where the handsome German Shepherd was indispensable. Bob ^nd Omar together solve some of the toughest cases, risking their lives several times in the line of duty. THE HORSE By Siegfried Stander The only warning was the cracking of the bush. The big male lion landed, clawing ferociously, and his weight knocked the mare sideways off her feet. She screamed. The lion lunged again, fastening on to her throat and breaking her neck with a twist of his great paws. The mare's dying kick caught her young colt painfully on the ribs and sent him crashing head over heels into the undergrowth. He jumped up, trembling, and fled. Instinct drives the orphaned •xit forward, many miles into he African wilderness, into the laths of a three-legged hyena, lesperate and hungry, and a nek of wild dogs. Only two lundred yards away rests his me slim hope of survival. Soon, trawn by the sweet mother- mell of a zebra who has ecently lost her own foal, he ittaches himself to a wandering band of zebras and s reared among them as one of their own. Set in the veldt and forests of modern Africa, The Horse is one of the great novels of man and explains the theories of transactional analysis and more effective ways of i m p r o v i n g h u m a n relationships. This year at McHenry Community high school, East campus, ninety students were enrolled in such a course in the study of human behavior, under the direction of the Learning Management program. These students examined the various aspects of transactional analysis and human needs, and through oral discussions, simulation experiments and reading, learned techniques for i m p r o v i n g h u m a n relationships. To express their understanding of transactional analysis and to decorate the room within a transactional analysis theme, these students designed pictures and scenes shown here. The pictures were class efforts and all students showed both creativity and effort in working on them. Doris Boeller, directly above, is Ml pointing to. the Mickey M--i she created as part of the painting that reflects what the Learning Management classes have discussed this past year. The center of the picture was the work of other students. The sun represents the individualjpid his personality; the rays indicate reaching out into the three ego states, some to the parent, sw to the child and some to the adult. The theory behind the program is that the adult ego &£<Mtld be the controlling factor. Cathy Foley, upper right, is pictured showing the three ego nates which demonstrate her own interpretation. Jim True, upper left, completes his ceiling painting, showing hands reaching out to each other. The basic concept behind "I'm O.K. - You're O.K.", is to believe in one's own worth and the worth of others. « STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD ON HONOR LIST Dr. R. Ernest Dear, College of Lake i County dean of instructioh, announced that 368 C.L.C. students qualified for the Dean's honor list for the 1974 spring semester. Students from this area who were so honored are Eugene V. Kamka, 1306 N. Fairview lane, and Susan * R. Shogren, 2708 Hiawatha, both McHenry. animal of our time. In the tradition of The Incredible Journey and other classic novels of survival, it recounts in vivid, absorbing detail the adventures of a magnificent white stallion whose many narrow escapes from death make him a legend among white and native hunters. The horse does savage battle with the leader of the zebra herd, and withstands the ravages of animal predators, floods and droughts, forest fires, and pestilence, until he is sighted by a group of elephant hunters who set out to track him. In spare and eloquent prose, Siegfried Stander captures the drama of the chase and the final duel between the horse and his pursuer, Niemand, the young white hunter. This outstanding animal story will appeal to adult and young-adult readers alike. Lee Swetman Children's Librarian Always form good habits- they're as hard to break as bad ones.
