Whispering Oaks (Whispers from the "Oaks") Marilynn Hamilton ----^ 385-6962 Oakers Present Fourth Annual Hobby Art Show Members of the Whispering Oaks Community Center were elaborate with their praise of the efforts of Chet Conrad of Wiltshire Drive as chairman of the fourth Whispering Oaks Hobby and Art Show held last Sunday. The show was open to the public and the chairman was pleasantly surprised to have visitors from as far away as Waukegan. The show presents an opportunity for neighbor to get to know neigh­ bor and to see and admire the many talents here in Whispering Oaks. While it is impossible to mention everyone who exhibited, some out­ standing displays must be mentioned such as the hand crafted wooden ship models of Rolland Rahe of Melrose Court. One ship required some 500 dedicated hours to complete; Charley Love of Oakwood Drive is an old "Railroader" of many years. He displayed only a small share of his miniature railroad but the Lilliputian town complete with autos, people and animals "serviced" by the train was a real at­ traction. The collection of magnificent sweaters shown by Mrs. Emily Fairchild of Wiltshire Drive was another drawing card for many who enjoy handwork; Marilynn Hamilton of Oakwood Drive displayed her "Hats of the World", the collection has grown this past year to forty- six with additions made by interested Oakers in their world travels. Mrs. Hamilton has hats from countries of every continent except Australia ; the Garden Club had an interesting display of hobbies of its members, all related to the garden. The paintings of Whispering Oaks residents were very beautiful and numerous, discovery of new talents and having time to develop them is one of the greatest joys shared by retired Oakers and the Hobby and Art Show is the stage for sharing those in­ terests. Residents are already looking forward to next year's show. CORRECTION PLEASE Last week's column carried a story of the Flag burning ceremony to be held at the American Legion hall on Monday July 14. The time was erroneously given as 9 a.m., please note that the correct time is 9 p.m., to be held after the regular Legion meeting. Joe White of Oakwood Drive again stressed the correct way of disposing of an old tattered, unusable flag is by burning and that the public is very welcome at the ceremony. Those who wish their flag to be retired may call Mr. White at 385-6609 and he will be glad to give any additional information needed or will be very glad to pick up your flag for you. REMINDER Time is really getting short for reservations for the fourth annual Whispering Oaks Cub day outing. Those who have attended in the past will verify how much fun the gang had. The ticket reservations in­ cludes the round trip bus fare and box seats and checks must be in by July 1. Avid fans, send your checks to P A. Hamilton, 915 Oakwood Drive, McHenry, 111. Tickets must be paid to Cub management at that time. Game time is at 1:15 and the bus will leave the Center parking lot at 11 a.m. sharp. The bus holds thirty-nine passengers so the early birds get the seats. Remember the old commercial, "there's nothing like a picnic at Cub park", those who wish may do just that, brown bag it or there is always hotdogs! NEW POSITION Retirement is great for some, but retired Colonel Don Wediken of Somerset Mall found time a little heavy and so has just become the chief building inspector for the city of Des Plaines. Don is a civil engineer and has served in the U.S. Air Force for thirty-one years. He and his lovely wife moved to the Oaks last November. CONDOLENCES Whispering Oaks residents are saddened by the news of the recent death of Fred DelGenio of Essex Court. The DelGenios were fairly new residents of our community. Another loss to Whispering Oaks is the passing of Gust Soderholm of Ashley Drive. He and his lovely wife, Elsie, were early residents of the Oaks. The Soderholms were proud parents of seven children and enjoyed the activities, near and far of nineteen grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Services for Mr. Soderholm were held Tuesday afternoon. Stephen Buss On President's List At Institute Stephen E. Buss, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward J . Buss of 3314 W. Golf View drive, McHenry, achieved a straight "A" average at Northwood In­ stitute, Midland, Mich., for the spring term. William D. Rohns, academic dean, announced that Buss was among twenty-eight students who were named to the President's list. Another 252 students were named to the Dean's list. Students who achieved straight "A" averages are on the President's list. To attain the Dean's list, a student must earn a 3.0 or above grade point average on a 4.0 point scale for that term. SERVICE NEWS BANK NOTES BY DONALD DALEY PRESIDENT FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY & « NATIONAL SAFETY PAPER" Likely you have never heard of "national safety paper" but there have been those in the banking ind­ ustry over the decades who regard this little-heard of invention as one ranking with the invention of the telephone or telegraph. Without it the use of checks and checking accounts could not have developed to the extensive, sophis­ ticated pattern we benefit from today. In 1974 for example, there were ap­ proximately 88 million checking accounts in the United States and over 23 billion checks were written. In 1871 a man by the name of George La Monte invented what was called "national safety paper" to help prevent the wide - spread check-raising and forgery practices that were proving ruinous to the growing need for a work­ able, reliable system of checks. Businessmen and individuals were wary of accepting checks as there was a complete lack of confidence in whether a check was valid or not. With the best paper avail­ able at the time, altering names or amounts was just to easy. In ensuing years, La Monte's paper was const­ antly improved and by the turn of the 20th centdry it was in demand not only for checks but for transport­ ation tickets, gift certif­ icates and many types of special documents. The "national safety paper" currently used has dyes that are applied form­ ing subtle designs, it is then covered with a slight pro­ tective coating on both front and back surfaces...making it impossible to execute any alteration, either by mechanical or chemical techniques, without leaving a telltale white spot where the change was attempted. Whether' you are interested in saving money...or bor­ row i^you'11 find FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY most accommodating! You will also receive fast per- sonal service...with a smile!

MCC Summer School Program In Full Swing Village of Evelyn Sandell * Sharon Mitchell Village Sticker Contest Winner The judges have chosen the "winner of the vehicle sticker contest in the village. She is Sharon Mitchell.. Debby EiChhorn came in second. It seems a shame that out of all the children in the village between the ages of 6 and 14 only 8 boys and girls took the time to send in a design for the contest. It proves one thing no one wants to bother. This event was well advertised, fliers were sent out, pamphlets left at the store so there was no excuse. GET INVOLVED This seems to be my week for getting on my band box and getting things off my mind I went to the Bicentennial flag Sunnyside 385-2696 dedication last Sunday at Woodstock and that proved to be the same thing -- so many people put in a lot of time and effort to make it a success and it was a very impressive ceremony and all the par­ ticipants were dressed in the spirit of '76. Considering this was also well advertised there weren't that many people bothered to attend. What has to happen to wake up the people. The only time I know people read my articles is when I say something wrong. If I don't mention your birthday or an­ niversary it's because no one let me know. STORM ALERTS We sure have had our share of storms the last few weeks and Bill has been out making sure the village is alerted in case of any threatening clouds.

Nearly 100 blind and near- blind citizens are now waiting for corneal transplant tissue. Edgar T. Britton, ISPB's executive director, explains, even though the Illinois Eye bank, an affiliate of the Illinois society and the largest eye collection and processing center in the Midwest, has received fifty-seven more eyes during the first four months of 1975 than it obtained during a comparable period last year (233 eyes compared to 176 in 1975). In addition,. a growing number of Illinois eye donors have signed and returned pledge cards this year. The society now has more than 40,000 cards on file. Even with these encouraging statistics more eyes are urgently needed. For more information about how one can give the miracle of sight by donating eyes after death, write to the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness, 220 South State Street, Chicago, 60604 Michael R.
