HELPING PAWS MASCOT BISHOP THAYER (by Father Wm O. Hanner) The tale of our late winter travels has not yet been told in the Plaindealer. After we returned from California we went down to South Carolina for ten days. It happened this way When I was in seminary I roomed with Eddie Thayer. We were boon companions and pals for years - forty-five to be exact. I became rector of Kenilworth, 111., and Eddie became the Rt. Rev. Edwin B. Thayer, DD, seventh Bishop of Colorado. We are both retired now but once I had married my friend to Evelyn Hanson of Geneva and he had been my best man when I married Rose Kopp. The Bishop of South Carolina had taken a few months off for a sabbatical leave in England and invited Bishop Thayer to take his appointments for the time he was away. The bishop called one night and said, "Bill, why don't you and Rose come down and visit us in South Carolina for a spell. We have Bishop Gray's house and there are only the two of us - you can have your own bedroom and bath." So we flew down, via Charlotte N.C. It was warm and lovely. Camelias were in bloom along with azalia, beautiful drifts of dogwood, purple wisteria. for the Illinois State Scholarship commission awards. Students can apply for the free monetary grant from the ISSC. This money does not have to be repaid and no tests are required. "Applications for this grant are available now and I encourage students who plan to enter MCC next fall to begin planning now," said DeCraene. "While the deadline for application for the ISSC grant is Sept. l, the scholarship funds are available on a first come, first served basis, so it is important to apply as soon as possible," he added. Those interested in applying for the ISSC financial aid can contact DeCraene at the college, 6200 Northwest highway, Crystal Lake. tulips, jonquils, hyacinths and more spring flowers. Everywhere there was yellow jasmine (the state flower of South Carolina). There are a number of elegant old churches dating from before the Revolution. They have the Wren note about them (it was Christopher Wren who built St. Paul's, London, and many other London churches after the Great London fire back in the 1700's.) St. Michael and St. Philip are two examples. They are in superb condition and large congregations use them today. Charleston has a population of under 70,000 - but if you know your South, this in no way measures its importance. Charleston has a beauty all its own. It has any number of gracious old homes, a fine restored theatre, the Citadel and restaurants that serve seafood so well prepared that sea life gladly is caught, always with understanding that it will, for its sacrifice, be served in the restaurants and from the kitchens of Charleston, South Carolina. This is to a fish what the Order of the Garter is to an Englishman. I loved also to stand at the confluence of the Ashley and Copper rivers, for they meet at Charleston and form there, as any Charlestonian will tell you, the Atlantic ocean. Here in the harbor lies Fort Sumter where the first shots of the war between the States were fired and here is one of our great Navy yards. One afternoon we went to the Citadal. This is a famous military school of college grade. More than one man had been directly commissioned in our armed forces from the Citadal. I reveled in the parade on Friday afternoon. It is good in our undisciplined life today to see a few places where self control and leadership of high and good quality are taught. Hard by Charleston are world famous gardens. Middleton Place gardens comprise the oldest landscaped garden in the country. There are terraces and butterfly lakes. There are three great camellia bushes imported and planted in 1783. There are over 35,000 plants in the gardens and an ancient oak, nearing 1,000 years old, still spreads its shade. The stable yards are restored to the late 1700's. Twelve miles from the city are the Magnolia gardens. These gardens are 280 years old. They were more recently broght to perfection by the Rev. John Grimke-Drayton, who being ill, was advised by his doctor to work outside. He developed the plantings after 1850. In spite of the name of the garden its azaleas are supremely noteworthy. The fame of the gardens had so HELPING PAWS This Saturday, May 4, is a special day to us at Helping The youngest band is the cadet band which is made up of beginners from the past summer. It will record the "Marine Hymn", "Abide With Me" and "Carnival of Venice". The final instrumental group is the stage band. It received a first division rating at district contest and is well on the road to good jazz band work in the future. It will record "Proud Mary", "Brass Bugaloo", "25 or 6 to 4", and "Sounds of the Three Dog Night", plus a few others.

Edelman said he hopes to spark local interest in public aid programs and to interpret important issues facing the agency in upcoming months. He commented: "Illinois clearly is beginning to turn the corner on welfare growth. During the past year, spread by the" 1920's that the famous Karl Baedecker, in the American issue of his guide book, starred only three things in the U.S., Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon and the Magnolia gardens. There is a third garden belonging to the city of Charleston since 1963. It is the Cypress garden. In the spring when we were there the black water, the great cypress trees (which grow only in the southeast of our land) were in flame with seas of azalea. The fallen blossoms were so thick (Mi parts of the path that you trod on a crimson carpet whose pile was freshly fallen flowers.
