Afterward they were joined at breakfast at a nice restaurant in Elgin by Mr. and Mrs. Fredrick Freunt of Elmhurst and Dr and Mrs R Larson of Chicago and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bullock After breakfast they all came home to Whispering Oaks and enjoyed the dav there. WEDDING ANNIVERSARY On Sept. 29 will be our forty - fourth wedding anniversary. Wc got married on my bir­ thday, a long time ago it seems. Many changes have been made since then We moved to Whispering Oaks on our for­ tieth anniversary so it seems we are natives of this territory. We have enjoyed our days out here and have seen a lot of things beautified in this area. Especially the park that we face from our windows. In spring we watch the flowers come and the birds fly in, making their nests, all kinds and the ducks on the waters and have young ones. The summer comes with the small fry fishermen, also adults. Folks take their walks on the nature walk. In fall we watch the leaves change their color and old man winter comes with Jackie Frost and freezes up the ponds and we then see the skaters on the ice all robust and happy, some times sweeping the snow off the ice, and we feel cozy inside our warm home always seeing the changes of mother nature from our look­ outs. SUMMER GUESTS Mr. and Mrs. Nick Knauth have had guests at their home most of the summer. Mrs. Knauth's aunts enjoyed several weeks at their home. Mr. Knauth had his seven brothers and one sister out for a gab fest and some of Marion's good cooking. Th^re have been lot of visitors here in W.O. and some grandchildren made their grandparents happy. It is good to hear the laughter of children around. EUROPE VACATION The Wilsons went to Europe for their vacation this year. So I asked them if they would write something about the three week's vacation trip. I told them the folks in Whispering Oaks would be interested in their many experiences so here goes. It is hard to write about a trip when you start off by going over twenty-seven hours with hardly any sleep. Leaving Chicago on Saturday, July 10, at 4:30 p.m. and with a change of planes in New York airport, we arrived in London, England, 9a.m. Sunday. The seven hours difference in time was ever so hard to get used to as to meals, sleep and personal habits. We toured London with a local guide all one day and about the time we were going back to the hotel I was able to understand what she was saying due to accent and rapid speed of speech. This was common throughout our trip as they have a strong Union in every large city, the local native guide must conduct tours and give local history and information. Each guide has a set time table for viewing their particular city, and it's too fast to try and photograph the in­ teresting sights and still keep close enough to the lecture given by the guide. So you shoot your picture in a great hurry hoping that most of them will come out good. We visited ten countries in twenty-two days traveling by bus from Amsterdam, Holland via Belgium to Germany, then through Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Monaco and ending in Paris, France, having traveled twenty-four hundred miles. We v moved so fast that just as you get to understand the con­ version of local money, you could not use it as you were already in a different country This escorted tour had a Wagon Master who told you where to eat, when to sleep and where to sleep. Even though the printed brochure stated what hotel we would stay at each night there were changes made as we would enter the town or city. Each hotel regardless of country served American food. For breakfast we had two hard rolls, butter, preserves and coffee that had to be cut with warm milk before drinking. Dinners were planned with veal, chicken and fish, with potatoes, no salads, boiled vegetables and hard rolls. Both of us lost weight on the trip. The people in our tour group who came from east of the Mississippi river were more wonderful in sharing the ad­ venture in being educated to the culture of Art and History of Europe. We were greatly impressed by the beautiful designs, size of the chwv :es and palaces and the priceless art work collected in their institutions. They were worth the trip. We would enjoy seeing Switzerland and Paris, France, again at a more leisurely time. After our pictures are developed we hope to have a better understanding of what we have seen. Supplemented by the guide book we brought home, this should enable us in the near future to display some enjoyment on the trip we have just completed. The best part of the trip was driving through the entrance of Whispering Oaks and in our home where things we take for granted were missed on the tour. It is a fact, there is no place like home. The Wilsons. MOVING AWAY One of the nicest couples from Whispering Oaks are leaving, moving to a place closer to work. They are Mr. and Mrs. Art Kuehn, 4709 Cumberland Circle. They were the best neighbors and have many friends. Mrs. Kuehn has a great big heart and is so gracious and makes a won­ derful hostess. Everything she cooks tastes like more. We will miss them much. CHRYSLER W f̂ MOTORS COHPOHAIION Chrysler-Plymouth introduces the1972*s. Built to stay new longer. We've made quite a few changes in our cars for 1972. A lot of them you can see right away. Like the new looks of our Fury. And the new interiors and options we're offering this year. But more important are some of the things you can't see. The kind of things we're doing to fulfill our commitment-- we're dedicated to building cars that will run better and last longer than any car we've ever built before. So whatever Chrysler-Plymouth car you're interested in--from the little Cricket to the compact Duster, from the mid-size Satellite to the luxurious Chrysler--you can be sure it was built with this commitment in mind. CHRYSLER Phimmith Coming through with the kind of car America wants. Cricket Duster Satellite Chrysler Buy now while prices are still frozen. 1972 Cricket prices will increase slightly due to supplemental import duty.

MCHenryt HI CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING Mr. and Mrs. John Phol have returned from New York where they visited their daughters, Sister Mary Rosaire and Mrs.1 Fred (Loretta) Composto. While there the daughters and son-in-law helped them celebrate their golden wedding anniversary at the Maitre Christi, Long Island, and also in Oneida, N.Y., where they were surprised by forty friends and relatives. The Compostos and Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Jackson were hosts. Last Saturday night twenty- five relatives and friends en­ joyed dinner at the McHenry Country club in observance of the anniversary. The Phols were married Sept. 14, 1921 in New York and moved to Whispering Oaks from Arlington Heights over 3 years ago. We offer congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. John Quanstrom of 4608 Sussex who observed the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage on Thursday, Sept. 23. Plan Group Publishes New 1970 Factbook The new preliminary edition of the 1970 Suburban Factbook has just been published by the Northeastern Illinois Planning commission. The Factbook is the first published compilation of data from the 1970 federal census and other sources about the communities of northeastern Illinois. It is a handy reference on population, housing, em­ ployment, retail sales, and local government finance and services in all cities and villages of the six-county region. A new section has been added since the 1960 edition, providing more detailed data by town­ ship. The Factbook has been reorganized to make it easier to find data by municipality and by county. More communities are mentioned than in the 1960 Factbook. including Chicago and municipalities under 2,500 population. A later edition of the Fact- book will include census and non-census data which is not yet available. The Factbook is on sale to the public. Each mayor and village president in the region receives a complimentary copy. Each mayor and village president previously received, from NIPC and the county planning departments, fifteen pages of computer printout with even more detailed data on his own community. Coordinated planning for the region requires, as a minimum, that the local plans of all communities be based upon the same data. NIPC is able to provide this data to all cities and villages at much less cost than if each community had to purchase its own data separately. Nobody ever gets too busy to explain how busy he is. Consider the turtle -- he makes progress only when he fltilg M« neck out. 2508 W.
