And all that's left for Mother, till life is through Is to sit and tell what the children used to do I couldn't keep them always and I knew it from the start, I knew when they were babies that someday we'd have to part But the years go by so swiftly and the littlest one has flown. And there is only me. Mother, now left to live stone. Oh, there is only one consolation as I'm sitting here at night. They have grown to men and women and I brought them up all right. I've watched them and I've loved them and they are splendid, everyone And I feel the Lord won't blame me for the way my work was done. They are clean, kind and honest and the world respects them too. That's the dream of every parent always and my (kreams have come true So slthough the house is lonely and sometimes my eyes grow dim and wet, I'm proud of them and happy and I've nothing to regret. Jacqueline Todd Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz blasted labor domination, criticized excessive government intervention in agriculture, and praised farmers for productive efficiency during a wide-ranging exchange of views with 125 farmers and their wives at Woodstock last week. Open house was sponsored by the McHenry County Farm Bureau. John Martin, Farm Bureau president, is seated near Secretary Buti. DQN pEASLEY PHOTOGRAPHY Citizens had a chance to ask Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz questions at the open house lit Woodstock last week. Mrs. Owen Richardson, Spring Grove, stands to ask about inflationary pressures created by Congressional spending. In the foreground is Senator Jack Schaffer and Earl Hughes. Wilderness Of 1943 Now Developing Beach (By Father William O. Hanner, rector emeritus of Holy Comforter church, Episcopal, Kenilworth) At all the main entrances to Florida there are welcoming stations. Here they will give you explicit directions. Our girl wrote out the directions for our trip clearly, legibly and what was for her, upside down. We decided to go south along the coast and avoid Talahassee. This is further. It is hard to convince the average traveler that it is a good way to go. On Feb. 24 we headed east from Pensacola along Route 98 in­ stead of the Throughway Route 10. The road took us out along the developing beach that was utter wilderness in 1943 when I served in the Air force of the Army. We lived in Destin, eighteen miles from the field where the nearest phone was seven miles away in Fort Walton. We had visited Eglin field last year-this year we chose to return to Destin where we had lived. Then it was a small fishing village with a little white frame church which I served. Today there is a new church, parish hall and rectory with close to 500 members (40 in my day) and a staff of three clergy and sundry secretaries. There is a daily Bible class and a library and religious goods shop. The hard working priest greeted me and showed me the old records of my day. Many gone now but far, far more recruited. Regligion is at a low ebb but not everywhere. The evidences of the hurricane this past fall were to be seen on all sides. The church was still trying to get a set­ tlement for its blown off roof (one corner), patches of pine woods were laid low and swaths cut in them. As we drove along we passed many loads of huge pine logs. The Florida pine is a hardy tree. It grows tall, heavy and straight, and where it is given time develops huge trunks and great strength. We had lunch in Panama City. It was a ghastly search, in horrid traffic, for a place to light. I have never learned to appreciate Panama City, FL., and its increase in size has made it a place I shall try to avoid in the future. The road runs south past Port St. Joe and Apalachicola, where there is an old type of town with churches from early days. Bishop Juhan used to talk of them when I worked for him in the war days at Destin, And indeed this whole coast of Florida is least touched--the great woods remain, the fresh clean beaches, the off shore islands now largely in­ corporated in the nation's park system, for which God's Holy Name be praised! If they don't do that some fool will insist on putting up condominiums on them. We saw a number of anhinga by the gulf shore. They live on fish, for which they dive. The locals call them snake birds because after the fish is swallowed the long, long neck breaks water and looks around. After dinner Mr. Anhinga (or Mrs.) (or even Ms.) has to get on a branch open enough for him to sit and droppily dry off his unoily feathers that do not shed water (as ducks for in­ stance). We spent the night at Perry, sort of ghosty. Here you pick UD a big road again But there are many motels both good, bad and closed (but none new). For years I have wanted to spend a night at the big motel (national chain) in Yeehaw Junction, populashun 104' as they say on Hee Haw We had reservations, were in early and so had a good room after a )\ l( .( )\ll KN days drive through orange proves that stretched as far as you could see in hilly, central Florida From our motel room we could look across the Everglades tor miles. A good sized herd of cows mooed mightily next door un a ranch pasture). Great place to stay The help that did our room came from Okeechobee 34 miles to the south, the girl who served our breakfast came from Kenanville. 15 miles north A lady at the desk was from Vero Beach Pretty much all central Florida was manning that motel I talked to the manager He had just hired another couple and was ransacking the territory for a place for them to live The Waitress at dinner was an attractive, younger woman whose ranch home (this is great cattle country) was 3 miles away Her children are bussed sixty miles a day to school I asked about snakes, meaning rattlers, her answer-- "They are only bad at certain seasons of the year '•' There are some mighty rugged, fine pioneer types still on file in this country and they live only 3 miles from great through toll roads On this section of the Sunshine Park­ way Yeehaw Junction is the only off and on spot in perhaps DO miles On to Clewiston where we spent the night and visited over at Belle Glade Once again lively. happy. vigorous parishes and worship Truly the South is the Bible Belt As far as I can see it is doing no ap­ preciable harm It takes all kinds in all sorts of great, odd. funny places to build the Kingdom. 4 DAY SALE ENDS SATURDAY, MARCH 20 tmi H iJ "10-2" Copy From The "B0SSMAN" at TONES I MUSIC | ELECTRONICS DhMon of Tonac, Inc.
