SPONSORED BY: GUETTLER'S SERVICE STATION ! THINK ABOUT IT! j BY BOB JUSTEN Most people accept the historical re cord of October 12, 1492, and credit Christopher Columbus and his men as the first to set foot on American soil. The dis­ covery of America represents an event caused by men who were unwilling to stay in their restricted and lim­ ited area. Columbus and his men had ideas, dreams and vision linked to and perhaps caused by a restless spirit. This is basically true of all exploreres. The same human spirit is seen in our own courageous astronauts who voyage through space in our advanced century of adventure. Columbus Day is an excellent time to honor all the men who have and who are dedicating their lives to probe the mysteries of planets and spare. And in­ cidentally, how many explorers throughout history can be mentioned who lacked spiritual strenghtand/or strong faith in a Powerful Someone above and beyond the stars? We think the question has significance. Don't You? GEORGE R. JUNSTEN FUNERAL HOME 3519 W. Elm St., McHenry, Illinois ^ I FORD ,12 mo. or 12,000MILE, IISF,I> CAR GUARANTEE!
