CONDOLENCES Our deepest sympathy goes to Emma (Mrs. Robert) Foy id Mrs. Therese Wall on the ath of their mother, Mrs. Marie Heinrichs. Mrs. Heinrichs made her home with Mrs. Wall on Hampton Court. Members of the Sew and Sews Sewing Club are especially sad at the passing of Miss Dorothy Nelson. Dotty was one of the organizing "Sparks" for the club, serving as the club's first treasurer. HAPPY TRAVELLERS RETURN HOME Eunice and Edgar Stowell and A1 and Mary Rita Stilling have just returned from a "Spur of the moment, Let's do it!, Dream come true" vacation, they spent three weeks in Spain. They rented a villa on the Costa del Sol which served as the base for their explorations of a beautiful country. In Corranado, they visited the mystical Moorish Mosques; in Seville, it was the famous cathedrals and Queen Isabel's Palace, Torremolinos was a great shopping town; and they also had the special thrill of being invited to a Spanish wedding. It was an interesting sight watching the bridal procession wend its way through the narrow curved cobblestone streets to the chirch, very different from the usual American wedding. The Stowells had to return a week ahead of the Stillings but they all agree, it was a never to be forgotten trip. Kay and Austin Smith of Oakwood Drive had 18 days of glorious weather for their recent Florida vacation. Mr. and Mrs. Smith had the unforgettable experience of cruising the Floridian waters as guests of friends on their new 60 foot yacht, the "Sea Quest" (meaning searcher of the sea). After a day of exploring the sea, the evenings were spent "exploring" the night life of Miami Beach. Fred and Emily Erickson of Oakwood Drive left Whispering Oaks planning on a cruise to the Bahamas but they were met and "waylaid" by Kay and "Smitty" Smith and joined the cruise and the "search for wildlife" in Miami Beach at night. They had so much fun, they forgot all a'bout the Bahamas. Florida is so lovely, everyone so gracious, excellent food, marvelous weather," Mrs. Erickson sounds as if she must have been made an honorary member of the Florida Chamber of Commerce. Sunkissed Jim and Lorraine Dickens of Melrose Court have just returned from their fun filled Florida vacation at a Gulf coast resort. Activities were so planned as to allow a great variety such as Spanish restaurant tour of old Tampa, a Wild West night, a Hawaiian Luau and a tour of the world famous Busch Gardens. Jim and Lorraine visited their neighbors, Dorothy and Jim Williamson, of Melrose Court. Hie Williamsons own a winter home in Holiday, Fla. SEW AND SEWS ENJOY LUNCHEON Hie ladies of the "Sew and Sews" sewing club met Thursday, March 28, for an enjoyable luncheon. The club is very happy to welcome seven new members, Mesdames "Bunny" Spenelly, Louise Steinhaus, Elvera Dimmler, Evelyn Enger, Tillie Motch, Naomi DeLand and Norma Blodgett. The Sew and Sews meet every Thursday at 1 p.m. at the Whispering Oaks community center and are busily working on projects for the second annual Whispering Oaks bazaar to be held in December. A WINNER Mrs. Victor Spenelly of Front Royal Drive was a winner on the "8:30 Movie with lone" on channel 7 last Friday morning. While she did not know the title to the song that would have meant a Jamaican trip, Mrs. Spenelly did win a lovely coffee maker. This proves to many that some con tests are for real. Congratulations, "Bunny". HONOR ROLL Just to let everyone know that Whispering Oaks is not all "just old people", we were glad ! THINK ABOUT IT! [ by BOB JUSTEN A prominent firm of psychologists ask this question when screening and examining employee applications for their clients. . . "Of all the men you know, have known, met or heard of, what one man would you most like to be like?" Explain why - Reports indicate this question brings in a lot of different answers and peculiar reasoiis. Selections include Grandpa, Dad, Uncle John, Cousin Tim, and so on in an apparent effort to tie in a helpful family trait. . . or affiliation. Other applicants select men such as Churchill, Lincoln and other historical greats. Some select sports, business or political personalities. Obviously of course, the psychologists are interested in the 'reasons why* - not so much in the selection itself. The reasons for the selections also vary greatly. Accomplishments, achievements, materialistic success, untarnished reputation, character and other attributes are mentioned as reasons. It is an interesting question. How would you answer it? Who would you select? Why? Watch for our select­ ion next week. You may - or may not - be surprised! . .. GEORGE R. JUSTEN FUNERAL HOME 3519 W.

Goal is to raise $40,000 and also to distribute vital informational literature to McHenry county's 110,000 residents. . - In answer to Mrs. Dorsch's question, you can learn the signs - the warning signals - of cancer through the informational literature supplied by the many hundred volunteer workers. The volunteers of the McHenry county unit of the American Cancer society have this literature as they go door- to-door. Cancer is a silent, usually painless disease in its early stages and so often its warning signals are fairly common complaints things like heartburn or a cough or a change in bathroom habits, Mrs. Dorsch observes. "Common complaints, but they are man's valuable clues to cancer - a disease that has to be caught early and treated promptly and properly for the best chance of cure," she explained. This April the ACS fund- raising and educational County Safes Of E And H Bonds $166,337 One Month McHenry county sales of Series E and H United States Savings bonds were $166,637 in the month of February, according to Donald J. Still. Crusade involves the teaching of cancer's Seven Warning Signals. This teaching is being done by ACS volunteers in person, by the society through the press and on TV; and especially by the distribution of a colorful leaflet. "Actually, 45 million of these leaflets will be passed out nation-wide!" she said. Asserted Mrs. Dorsch: "Our slogan this year is everyone's dream - "We Want To Wipe Out Cancer in Your Lifetime." To do that we need your dollars to support vital research and programs of public and professional education, and service, and rehabilitation to the cancer patient. "Equally important we need everyone to be alert to warning signals and have a yearly health checkup including cancer tests. Frankly, we could save more lives right now if people did just that."
