Whispering Oaks Gejtpde Disney 385-7515 Reiters Return From Enjoyable Tour Of Orient Erwin and Lillian Reiter of 4407 Ashley have recently returned from a month long tour of the Orient. They report finding a generally favorable attitude toward the United States in all the countries visited and a gracious and hospitable manner shown them by the people of these lands which included contacts away from the large cities and usual tourist areas. Visits were made to American Missionary sup­ ported orphanages and children's homes in Kowloon, Hongkong and Seoul, Korea. A local church missionary, Miss Ruth Sundquist of Crystal Lake, is in charge of the Evangel Children's Home in Kowloon which presently cares for some eighty-five orphans and half orphans. In Seoul, they had op­ portunity to call at the Korean office of "Compassion, Inc.", and independent Christian organization with headquarters in Chicago. Through the sponsorship of many thousands of concerned Americans, over 22,000 boys and girls, innocent victims of war, poverty and abandonment are given loving care in more than 180 or­ phanages located in one Caribbean and five far east countries. Beside the visit to the Kowloon home for orphans, the Reiters were able to see first hand the operation of similar orphanages and care given unfortunate waifs in Korea. They also spent one day with two of these whom they are personally sponsoring, a boy of twelve and a girl eight years old. Altogether, these ex­ periences were most enlightening and added much to a very informative and memorable trip. KUEHNS COfaE TO WHISPERING OAKS A few years ago my husband was told that he would transferred from Chicago where we lived to Schaumbi After carefully considering moving from the city, and from the house in which I was bom, we decided to sell the house and make the move. But where to go? That was the question. • We spent many many weekends just driving around looking at model homes at different communities, cities, etc. Then on one Sunday we found The Coventry in Crystal Lake. We came across a house that we liked called the "Homestead". We decided that was the one for us. In the meantime we had also driven through Whispering Oaks and like the big trees and the at­ mosphere in general, so back we went to Crystal Lake and asked if they would build that house here in Whispering Oaks, which they did, and here we are. However, at the present time we have our home up for sale, as my husbands wants to get closer to jvork. If and when we do sell and move, we certainly will miss first of all our friendis and neighbors, the peace and quiet of living here and also the few Christmases we have spent here. We had the opportunity to go and chop down the tree of our choice and haul it through the woods. We made a mess of our living room ceiling trying to get the tree in, but in the end, every Christmas was perfect.

TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 22, 1961) Much of the activity in the city at the present time is in the If your child can say "emergency" teach her to say it to the Operator. Dialing Zero for help in an emergency is so simple a child can do it. And so important, every child should learn how. Here are three hints to help you teach your child how to get help if she ever needs it: First, don't hand her the receiver. Let her pick it up herself, the way she would in a real emergency. Second, while you hold down the receiver button, teach her how to dial the Operator. Third, tell her to speak directly into the mouthpiece, clearly and slowly, giving her name, address, and phone number. It might be a good idea to phone a friend so she can listen to your child repeat her message. We feel it's important for your child to know how to get help from the Operator when she needs it. And we hope she never needs it. ^ mjnojs Bell * We're a lot more than just talk. / vicinity of West Elm street.

However, this legal term is another name for a "confession clause," something which often appears in contracts with consumer finance companies for goods purchased on the installment plan. The Illinois State Bar association says the "con­ fession clause" means that you, as the signer of an installment contract, agree that the creditor may bring suit against you in court without prior notice to you or service of a summons. The lender may obtain a judgment against you and perhaps a lien on your property without your being aware that you had been sued. Many installment purchase contracts provide that no action can be brought against you unless you are in actual default of your obligations under the contract. But some clauses permit the lender to file suit and obtain a judgment whether or not you have kept up your payments on schedule. It is a device which permits the lender to protect his in­ terest by obtaining some security, such as a lien, as an assurance that the debt will be satisfied. The confession clause is perfectly legal under Illinois law, says the ISBA, but it can become a source of trouble. To protect yourself it is always wise to read the fine Region I. Pass Resolutions Geared For No. V Safe Driving State The Illinois Conference of Women Leaders for Traffic Safety passed resolutions at its recent meeting in support of Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie's ef­ forts to make Illinois the number one safe driving state, Mrs. Mark Braun of Springfield, conference president, announced.

Resolutions passed were in support of the following measures: --Continued efforts to focus public attention on problems created by the alcohol- impaired and the drug- impaired driver. -Greater protection at railroad grade level crossines. --Organization of state-wide medical facilities to provide rapid emergency medical care for critically injured victims of highway accidents. --Safer roads and safer cars, including standards in Illinois that would require an automobile bumper to withstand a 5-mph crash without injury to the car or to the passenger. -A state medical review board. Mrs. Braun said the purpose of the ICWLTS is to identify problems of traffic safety in Illinois and work to solve them. Officers elected to serve Region I were Mrs. Barbara Raymond, Liberty ville, president; Mrs. Elvina Latimer, McHenry, first vice- president; Mrs. W.H. Tam- meus, Woodstock, second vice- president, Mrs. Lloyd East­ man, Elmhurst, secretary; Mrs. Joseph Sup, Elmhurst, treasurer; and Mrs. Fred Wepprecht, Essex, member-at- large.
