Maybe we have just what you're looking for. Pets that can be kept in cages, aquariums or hutches are easy to own, since they stay put and are unable to bother you with demands. But they still need thoughtful care. Because these small creatures are confined, they can't obtain food or water, find a clean, dry place to sleep, or run away from a neglectful owner. Next to food and water, the single most important factor in keeping a caged pet healthy is cleanliness. Bacteria builds up very fast in a small space, especially in warm weather. Your nose and eyes will tell you if your pet's house needs cleaning more often than usual during warm months. Because there is always bacteria present where animals live, it is very important to remember not to touch your face while you are handling your pet or his surroundings, and to wash your hands with soap when finished.

Our first business in San Francisco was to attend the Trinity Institute, West. It was to be led by the Archbishop of Canterbury, an Eastern Orthodox, seminary professor, the Rev. Thomas Hopko and the Prior of Taize, Frere Roger Schutz. Taize is a Protestant monastery in France. Its Prior is world known for the work he had led. Though he spoke in French and had a translator, it was difficult to follow his address. One thing was not hard to grasp. That was the Prior's absolute holiness. You can believe this or not, but at the close of his address the clergy pressed about him just to touch him or his clothes. "If I can but touch the hem of His garment" came to me. The beauty of the man's life showed in his face and in his demeanor. It was an holy moment. The Greek priest was entrancing as he sought to depict for us the .thought of the Orthodox churches. The depth of Orthodox thought and scholarship in Bible and theology is not understood very widely nor appreciated in the United States. Our own Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Michael Ramsey, spoke. He is to retire this coming fall. The English clergy has within its number many world famous writers, teachers and thinkers in theological lines. The English have sent missionaries into every continent and clime. It was in an English founded diocese I worked in 1972 in the Windward Islands. I will quote only one sentence by the Archbishop. He said, "Today I would like to invite you into my home for a visit; my home is St. John's Gospel; there I have lived my spiritual life few over 40 years." And from that introduction he proceeded to propound the Christian teaching about the Holy Spirit. In New York the Cardinal Archbishop of Belgium, Cardinal Suenens, had been one (MJYSLERjPLA^ -THIS MONTH'S SERVICE SPECIAL- FRONT END ALIGNMENT SPECIAL!!!

You will reap rich rewards in the added vitality the work of your pastor will take on. We enjoyed seeing many Oriental people in San Francisco. Our hotel was run and served by able Chinese. Japanese tourists came and went by the busload. A bus or two would line up early in the mornings and away would go these buses in a trice loaded down with Japanese off on a day's tour. We spent a good bit of time in Chinatown which was a quarter block away. Here we saw many shops with all sorts of Chinese goods, foods, textiles and art. Tlie children were like our own--full of activity and fun and I suppose mischief. One day in the park near the hotel we met a young Chinese wife with her two daughters. I asked to take their pictures and was rewarded with the picture accompanying this article. The children are Maria, on the left, age 3Mj, and her sister, Annie, age 2.1 have written to Mr. and Mrs. Yip, the parents of these little girls, and sent a copy of this picture. The Yips came here from Hong Kong four years ago. Mr. Yip is a cook, his wife a seamstress. They tell me in a letter, "The children here are receiving better food and better education than many other countries. We both found America is a better place to live in." People like the Yips are valuable citizens They work with diligence and look out for themselves and are a credit to themselves and to the United States. In the afternoon the men would gather in the little park and play a game, I think it was checkers. There was always a group standing about kibitzing. Downtown San Francisco is clean. There are simply elegant stores with worldwide reputations. On a number of corners were flower booths selling posies to the passersby. Superb and widely known restaurants Abound. Two or three of the nation's greatest hotels with history and prestige grace this city. There is really nothing like San Francisco in all our land. If you have never seen it and you like to travel, don't miss the thirteenth city of the United States.

JOE AMELLA (815) -385-3100 Measuring success in human terms C. R. (CHUCK) PETERSON Honor Council One of the most nota­ ble changes in the field of life insurance is today's "new" life insurance agent. The pace of change in our field has been so great that professional skills have had to be ex­ panded broadly in order to meet clients' needs. Today , you need knowledge and perspective to offer professional insur­ ance advice and that's what our people have been trained to give. Your representa t ive from The Bankers Life, whom we salute here, be­ lieves more and more that THE NICK PARRINELLO, success depends on under­ standing, straight talk, and caring. For all of us, 1973 was a year of more learn­ ing, more hard work, but especially, more satisfac­ tion. At The Bankers Life, we back our agents' grow­ ing professionalism 100 per cent. Today, we expect our agents to measure success in human terms - not by big numbers and awards - but rather: "How many individuals have I helped to make the right insur­ ance decisions!" • CLU, AGENCY-ROCKFORD C.
