NOEL RUMOR GOING AROUND There is a rumor going around that the Bill Noels are expecting their third child. I will keep you posted in the months to come! MISTAKE In last week's column I ac­ cidentally spelled a last name wrong. It was one of the regular's from the basketball league at East Campus each week. Bill 's last name is spelled NOEL. BIRTHDAY A very happy birthday to Candi Rode of Eastwood Manor who will be celebrating her fourth birthday on Dec. 14. SNOWBALL THROWING Snowball throwing can be lots of fun and at the same time very dangerous. The danger comes when snowballs turn to ice. Please tell your children how serious it can be if one hits a child in an eye, etc. Fun and games can turn into something very serious if used carelessly.

Hanner. rector emeritus of.Holy Comforter, (Episcopal) Kenilworth > 1 have come to the conclusion that it is more fun to travel west than south and that it is cheaper to go west-we payed more in southern motels. We started south Nov. 26 Had lunch at Morris, 111 When on the road and in a strange town, hunt out the places where the locals go to eat Local people are there all the time. The restaurant has to hold their trade Therefore it tries to stay good enough to keep its clientele. It may not be fancy but it is the eatability of the food that counts. It was Thanksgiving week. Therefore the college students a nice Christmas poem that you've written or someone in your family has written I will have it printed in the poet's corner of the newspaper. CHRISTMAS SHOPPING At this busy time of the year, when we are addressing Christmas cards, doing our holiday shopping, and getting the house decorated, please take the time to remember what we are really celebrating Be thankful for all the many things we have and not regretting the things that we don't have. Wishing all the Eastwood Manor residents the most wonderful and happy Christmas, and the best of New Years!! were on the road home to mother's cooking The huge farms of our state are sight- worthy. Now when they are called on for more food all the time for a suffering world, they are more vital than ever. We crawled past twelve huge pea picker combines, each towed by a tractor We were far from housing developments that eat up the farms of the Chicago area but many towns showed growth about their edges. The first night we stopped at Mount Vernon i>n Wednesday, the twenty- seventh we loafed along, pausing at Crab Orchard to see geese resting and feeding on their flight south. It was a cold, clear morning. We passed the federal penitentiary at Menard while returning from Crab Orchard Noon found us in Illinois' ghost town-Cairo. This once thriving town of 15,000 is now down to 6,000. It doesn't seem possible this could happen but it has. There were many tows on the Ohio river Rose was driving-I counted one tow with fourteen barges. The tow boat was letting the barges continue on inertia while it hastened to the front to give a needed push back in the channel. Tricky work By night we were bedded down in Jackson, Tenn. On Thanksgiving we intended to go to church in Jackson, at 10 a.m. But we were ready to leave by 8:30 and took to the road. In my mind's eye I hoped to reach Corinth, Miss, by 10 a.m. MCNEILS IN MeHENRY • mW^ET PLACE zm RTE. # MCHENRY M €||OW SEA son PROTECTION TIME IS NEAR AND YOUR PROTECTION IS HERE Come in and see us for your low cost snowmobile protection.

At ten minutes before ten we drew up in front of St. Paul's church. It was a little brick building that spoke of the early 1900s The parish was over a hundred years old by a good bit Cars were drawn up before the church, four in number. 1 feared we might be late. In we went and by a little after the hour the rector, a man with a Puerto Rican background, came lo the altar. We were eighteen souls. It later turned out, beside (he rector there were three priests in the congregation. Before the service I visited with the man behind me, the organist of the parish. He was most interesting. Later the rector told how, during the war, this man had served on an island, Tanna, in the New Hebrides, near Guadacanal, and had earnestly cared for the people there. This is the area where the "Cargo Cults" thrive. The man, Tom Beatty, in the midst of and while doing his military duties had found many ways to aid the natives. I have read and studied the Cargo Cults over several years. Briefly, when the natives saw the rich importation of supplies that came with our military forces they thought that by means of a religious life and through a sort of Messiah, ships bearing careos for the natives' use would some day arise. These cults still f,ourif[\ in New Guinea. They are nigh impossible to terminate . When the service was ended the rector asked us to the house for coffee. Well-how could you not go when he said he got so lonely to talk to other clergy. We spent a pleasant hour with him and his family. That night we got only as far as Tupelo. There we found a magnificent motel, signed in, had a nap and went out and did twenty miles along the old Natchez Trace road, now a national park Few people in the north know of this park and the road it follows from Nash­ ville to Natchez-along which in the earlv 1800's the settlers flowed "into the Mississippi Territory. We had traveled its full length in other years but were glad to drive on it again even though we did but a few of its 300 miles We had roast leg of lamb for Thanksgiving dinner -very good and nicely served One thing about that Thanksgiving day I will not soon understand-why - on the day the President ap­ pointed for national Thanksgiving the huge chur­ ches of the South s persuasion were closed up tight and only here and there in a little Episcopal mission or a small Catholic parish were thanks being offered? Marian High School Outstanding Response To Placement Testing The annual SRA high school placement test at Marian Central Catholic high school drew tremendous response from all areas of McHenry county as 212 eighth grade students wrote the three-hour test battery Sunday, Dec 8, at the school. The test was ad­ ministered both morning and afternoon 'in three-hour sec­ tions by Marian's Guidance department. The 212 eighth graders represent approximately the same number of students as took the test last year at this time. The test is used by the Guidance department and faculty as an aid in scheduling freshmen for classes when they register for the fall term on Feb. 16. All fourteen parishes in McHenry county were represented by students taking the test as well as twenty-five junior high schools. The im­ portant dates for parents of eighth graders to remember are: Jan. 17, eighth grade Activity Night, Jan. 19, SRA high school placement test (make-up date) and Feb. 16, freshmen registration 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Questions regarding the placement test and registration should be directed to Robert Gough of the Guidance department. Our envelope is only about a century old. Before then, people folded the sheets of paper, sealed them shut, and wrote the address on the back side. START CONSERVING ENERGY TODAY!
