/ Wonder Lake Mary Jean Huff 728-0267 EXPLO-72 - The flame from one solitary candle touched another and then another, spreading the fire to candles held by each person who attended the Student Congress on Evangelism (EXPLO *72) in Dallas this summer. As the Cotton Bowl glowed with firelight, more than 80,000 young voices lifted in song... "I'll shout it from the mountain top, I want my world to know. The Lord of love has come to me -1 want to pass it on!" Local residents took part. Earlier this summer, history was made in Dallas, Texas, as Campus Crusade for Christ International sponsored the first International Student Congress pn Evangelism. "EXPLO'TZ , considered by many Christian leaders to be one of the most significant events in the history of the church, trained more than 80,000 to share their faith in Jesus Christ and to help fulfill the Great Commission. The claims of Christ and the "how to" of knowing Him personally were shared with hundreds of thousands throughout the Dallas area during the week. At least 180,000 people par­ ticipated in the "Jesus Music Festival" on the final day in Dallas. Approximately 65,000 of the delegates were high school and college students from cam­ puses throughout the United States and the 75 foreign lands represented. Laymen and youth from McHenry, Barringtor, Lake Zurich, Cary, and Fox River Grove traveled from this area to take part. Among those from McHenry were Diana Erb (Campus Crusade for Christ staff) Cliff and Jan Wardle, Joseph O'Neal and Richard Stark. During the week of Explo, Dr. Bill Bright, president and founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, received a telegram from President Richard Nixon: "No nation or people can remain materially strong if it becomes spiritually weak. From the earliest days of the colonists and settlers, a faith in God and a devotion to His work has given Americans the strength to overcome sem- mingly insurmountable problems of poverty, injustice, and suffering. This massive gathering of Campus Crusade is heartening evidence that the students and young people of America are growing stronger in that faith." Governor Reuben Askew of Florida hailed EXPLO as "the most exciting event of my lifetime." As the exciting week of Explo '72 drew to a close, delegates gathered in the Cotton Bowl for the final time and were challenged to take the "good newsDf Jesus Christ" back to their homes and communities. A program called "Operation Penetration" will be bringing further training opportunities / throughout the country as^/ aJ follow-up to Explo '72. 7 Leaders of many of the nrajor Christian organizations have indicated that this may be the beginning of a Spiritual awakening within our country. Certainly Explo '72 has had deep effect on the youth of America. Now one can see the miracle of Explo '72 in his own home and share in the enthusiasm of this historic week by means of three hour-long television specials which will be aired over 265 stations. In the Chicago area, these are scheduled Aug. 7,8, and 9,8 to 9 p.m. on Channel 32. Dr. Billy Graham, Dr. Bill Bright, Johnny Cash, Andrae Crouch and the Disciples, and many others will present the message and challenge of Explo '72 in word and music as "EXPLO '72 comes to you."

Young Man Keeps Alert To Weather News When you hear weather statistics from McHenry mentioned on the Channels TV weather shows, the information was undoubtedly submitted by fourteen-year-old Chuck Hollenbach, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hollenbach of 4303 W. South street, McHenry. Chuck wrote Weatherman Harry Volkman recently asking if he could become one of his weather observers. When Volkman answered yes, the boy's duties began. Twice a day, at 4:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., Chuck calls the TV station and reports high and low temperatures and precipitation for the 24-hour period as well as wind direction and cloud conditions. To obtain this information, various types of equipment are used by the weather observer. Rain is collected in a gauge which measures the 24-hour rain fall. A thermometer records daily high and low temperatures. Wind indicators on the roof register speed and direction on an instrument attached to Chuck's bedroom wall. Also on the wall^is a United States map complete with weather symbols. Chuck feels his real interest in weather started in 1967 when a tornado destroyed his aunt's house in Lake Zurich. He began to read books, articles and all available information on forecasting. For the past two years, Chuck has kept daily records on weather conditions in the McHenry area. The young man, who plans to attend Marian Central Catholic high school this fall, hopes to continue and further his studies Ofar^Camm unity Calendar Service For Lake CMxens A new community service, the community calendar, sponsored by the Women's Club of Wonder Lake, is now being offered to all the citizens of the lake. Any group wishing to set a date for an upcoming bake sale, dance, auction, or whatever, can call Mrs. Charles (Ann) Sowers at 653-9659. She will then mark the date on the community calendar and can also advise the group if a similar event already scheduled would conflict with the proposed project of the organization. Individuals or groups may also call to inquire about the time, date or details of an approaching event at the lake. 3 YEAR OLD CUTIE Right now as I lode out my window, Jennifer Draffkorn, a 3 year old cutie, is mowing our front lawn with a toy lawn- mower, dressed in a bright orange and pink mumu and carrying a very large, slightly broken umbrella. * NEW DAUGHTER Joanne Christina Schanz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank (Russ) Schanz, 4201 Thompson Road, Wonder Lake, was born on Aug. 1, in McHenry hospital. Joanne weighed 8 lbs., 7 ozs., at birth and is being welcomed at home by her big brother, Johnny, who is 21 months old. Maternal grand­ parents are Mr. and Mrs. Robert Eising and paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schanz, both of Chicago. The baby's mother is the for­ mer Joan Eising. SUCCOTASH! The soybean field next to our house has so much corn sprouting up in it that somebody suggested that come fall the farmer would be har­ vesting a pretty good crop of succotash! NEWLYWEDS C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s t o newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. William P. Shannon, III, who were married on May 27 in Tinley Park. The bride will be remembered as former Wonder Laker, Patty Seeman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jess Seeman, now residing in Oak Forest. Her bridegroom is formerly from Pittsburgh, Pa. VACATION MEMORIES Vacation time has come and gone for the Don Huff family. A few things about the summer of '72 will be remembered. Little Silver Lake, Wis., was once again invaded by the Huff family. This time Don and his three sisters, Trudy Schuch, Marilyn Gaskin and Kathy Wahlen, complete with families, occupied three cot­ tages and one campsite. One d|y it rained and Uncle Hank Gaskin suggested bowling. We took over all six alleys at Wautoma. Even three year old Patrick rolled one ball, took three minutes to reach the end of the alley and knocked over seven pins. The cheering could be heard all the way to Neshkoro. Cousin George in meteorology and someday become a professional weather man. Gaskin's vacation was delayed a bit. He had to finish cracking the thigh from the drumstick for the Colonel before he arrived on Monday. We toured the fish hatchery at Wild Rose on one of the cooler days and learned that some of those beautiful trout we sawthere had been stocked ; " Little Silver and were waiting some 20' down for our little fishermen. Sure enuf, we had fresh fish for supper Friday night - no trout this time, but some really delicious pan fish. Once again we were impressed by the way you can hear the wind traveling through the pine trees which tower above our cottage, starting at one point and slowly moving throughout the entire area. ANNIVERSARIES Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Sam Yokely who recently celebrated their forty-sixth wedding anniversary. And to Mr. and Mrs. Rick Cope and Mr. and Mrs. Rob Weber who shared their tenth anniversary on Aug. 4. Best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Ed Cannon who celebrate their anniversary on Aug. 9.

Maternal grand­ mother is Mrs. Ann Anderson, Chicago, and paternal grand­ mother is Mrs. Anna May Gilligan, McHenry. POSTAL WARNING When I was a kid the wood pile down the street was a favorite gathering spot for many of the neighborhood children. Almost every day we'd sit there chomping on green apples "lifted" from a neighbor's tree. And each day the mailman would walk by and say, "You kids are gonna get a stomach ache". But fortunately the good Lord provided us with cast iron stomachs and the next day we'd be there again, our pockets craipmed with green apples, waiting for our friendly mailman and his well meant but unheeded warning. Probably the only danger of having the mail ^delivered in town in those days%>s to the mailman who might oc­ casionally suffer from a nip on his rear, the victim of an un­ friendly dog. Today, however, our children in Wonder Lake have a different view of their mailman. He (or she) drives along in a car from box to box and the dangers today are to our small children (and sometimes larger ones) who are frequently careless pedestrians. We received a letter in our mailbox this weekj from the United States postal| service. It expressed tl concern of every member of the! postal service for the safety of! each child. The letter urged] adults and parents to teach the children the safe way to obtain their mail and to explain to them the dangers of crowding around a car or truck. Let's make sure our own little green apple eaters are around to sample next year's crop by heeding the advice of the postal service. BIRTHDAY GREETINGS We're a little belated in our birthday greetings toy... Ray Gildemeister who celebrated his day on July 31...to Barbara LaGreca who starts out the month of August with her birth­ day on the first..to Ken Gabel on Aug. 2, and his wife, Betty,' who follows with a birthday on the third...and coming up on Aug. 10, Ed Cannon will be blowing out a few candles. Happy days to you all! JETSETTERS I suppose in the olden days when folks went out to dinner, they hitched up old Bess to the surrey and were on their way down the road a piece to Farmer Brown's for some home cookin'. Last weekend Betty and Jerry Draffkorn went out to dinner, 1972 style. After driving to Gait Airport, they joined Betty's brother and his wife, Tom and Pinky Dietrick of Hebron, in Tom's airplane. In about an hour's time they landed in Dodgeville, Wis., where they enjoyed steak dinners in a restaurant at the end of the runway. Then back on the plane to follow the sunset home. And so ends another adventure in the lives of Wonder Lake's jet setters. GET-WELL WISHES Our best get-well wishes to Larry Fuhrer of Wonder Center who was recently hospitalized and is now recuperating at home. CRYSTAL LAKE RESIDENTS Now residing in Crystal Lake are Mr. and Mrs. Michael Miller who were married on July 1, in Zion Lutheran church, McHenry. The bride is the former Barbara Louise Parker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Parker of McHenry and the bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Miller of Wonder Lake. Congratulations to Barbara and Michael. ENJOY LAKE SCENERY Our good neighbors, Sharon and Larry GouUst, and their cruising son, Kevin, took some members of the Huff family and our visiting cousin, Bobby Larsen, on a boat trip around the lake last Sunday. Made me realize that some of us who live in the boondocks of Wonder Lake can soon forget how big our lake is and how beautiful! Those lovely lake shore homes and their magnificent yards really have to be seen from the lake to be appreciated.

Your house won't burn down or be robbed. And you'll never be sued because some­ body slipped on a step. So don't bother with insurance--on your home, your apartment, your business, your farm. But what if you're wrong? Then it'll be nice to have a Country Mutual Homeowners or Farm- owners policy. If you live in town, call a Country Companies agent about Homeowners insurance. Or if you live on a farm, see him for larm- owners coverage for livestock, machinery, out­ buildings, too. The Country Companies. We're a little different than most insurance people.

A common danger when kite­ flying is electrocution, which often occurs when a kite gets caught in electric high-tension wires, says the Institute for Safer Living. If your kite does get caught- don't try to retrieve it-make a new one. Never use wire as a kite line or any sort of metal in the kite's construction. Should the kite snag on a power line, severe burns edild result. Even non- metalljtfwing, if wet or damp, can Conduct electricity. Fly your kite on dry days in an open field or on a beach. Match the size of the kite with the ability of the person to handle it. The Institute warns that telephone lines, electric wires, and television antennae are potential hazards. Launching a kite usually involves running - watch out for rocks, stones, stumps, ditches, and fences. Since at­ tention centers on the kite, not the ground, survey the area to prevent falls, and wear shoes to protect your feet from cuts or stubbed toes. Avoid injuries to your hands - - such as string burns and entangled fingers ,- by using a device to hold the kite line. It's pretty easy to voice an opinion before one knows much about the subject in­ volved. day includes a salute to the man of the day or the lady of the day for their outstanding con­ tribution of service to the community. Almost every week we can think of a man, woman, child or group in Wonder Lake who deserves our salute. With the baseball season now over, or nearly over, it seems to us that the men who work with the Wonder Lake Boy's Baseball, Minors, Majors, Teeners and American Legion, deserve our recognition. These people, managers, coaches, officers, all the men behind (he scenes, give much of their^ime and interest to the boys tfyey work with. Our youngsters leafn how to play the game and hopefully how to win or lose and most important how to be a good sport. Not an easy job for any of these men but we feel that it's most worthwhile. And so, men of our Boy's Baseball, we salute you! Political Contributions Affect 1972 Tax Liability Political contributions made this year may affect your 1972 tak liability, Mr. Roger C. Becji, Internal Revenue District Director for Northern Illinois, announced toady. Under the Revenue Act of 1971, political contributions made afterfl97l to candidates for elections to Federal, State or local offices, in primary, special or general elections may be claimed as a credit or a deduction on your. 1972 tax' return. Mr. Beck stated that you may claim a credit for one half of the political con­ tributions ̂ jfnade during the year, withllmaximum credit of $25.00 allowed on a joint return,, $12.50 on the return of a single person (or married person filing separately). This credit is applied directly against your tax liability. He went on to explain that instead of the credit, you may deduct the amount of the political contribution as an itemized deduction. This deduction, on a joint return, cannot exceed $100.00, and on the return of a single person (or married person filing separately) cannot exceed $50.00. Con­ tributions made to National political party committees are also included under this new ruling. Mr. Beck urged taxpayers planning or claiming the credit or deduction to keep accurate records of their contributions, and to secure a receipt from the candidate or committee to which they contributed.
