PAGE 5-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1973 Wonder Lake |Aary Jean Huff 728-0267 Wonder Woods Auxiliary Plans Easter Bazaar At the Jan. 25 meeting of the Wonder Woods Women's Auxiliary plans were discussed for an Easter bake sale and bazaar. The date of the sale will be Saturday, April 7, at the firehouse on the east side of Wonder Lake. Donations of baked goods and bazaar items from all the women in Wonder Woods subdivision are needed. A new member drive for the auxiliary is now under way. Many thank yoy notes were received for Christmas gifts given to the elderly in the subdivision. Refreshments were served by Catherine Wurm. The next meeting of the auxiliary will be on Feb. 22 at the firehouse. SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS NEEDED Saw a sign in an office in "downtown" Wonder Lake that pro'claimed, "School Board Members Needed". It went on to list the details of the elec­ tions which will be coming up soon. Seems to be a subject that needs to be given a lot of thought by all citizens. ANNIVERSARY Happy anniversary to Tom and Lois Mathews on Feb. 2. It will be 21 years since T.P. claimed his lovely bride. FOOD FROM FREEZER Can't beat living in the 1970's when you consider the ad­ vantages of that good old freezer. Last night we cooked up a batch of hot, steaming corn on the cob (in the dead of winter!) that we had frozen last August and it was terrific! Tonight it's gonna be some of those hand picked fresh frozen strawberries and shortcake with lots of whipped cream. Ummmmm. GROWING THINGS One thing I miss this time of year is being able to look out the window and see things growing - flowers, trees, the vegetables in the garden, grass, weeds. Only "this mor­ ning I looked out the window and saw my boys walking to the bus stop and realized one thing that I can sefe growing even in the wintertime - it's kids! Those trousers I shortened last fall so they would fit properly are now 3 inches above their shoe tops!

By Mike Rothenberger Staff Representative Dale Carnegie & Assoc., Inc., New York. Copyright 1965, Dale Carnegie A Assoc., Inc. There was the wise old man who lived in a little village. It was said that he knew all the answers; that no one had been able to ask him a ques­ tion that he could not answer. The little town was located on the side of a hill, and the old man lived at the end of a wind­ ing street, up at the top. The boys of the village were continually trying to think of a question that would fool the old man. One day, two young fellows were playing under some trees down in the valley, near a brook. They were shaking the branches of a tree when a small bird fell to the ground from a nest above. One of the boys ran over to the bird and picked it up in his hand. The bird was frightened and tried desperate­ ly to get away but the boy held it secure. He called to his playmate and said. "At last I have it." "You have what?" asked his friend. "I have a question that will fool the wise old man up on the hill." he an­ swered. "I don't understand." said the other boy. "Come with me to see the old man," said the lad with the bird, "and I will show you." Together they climbed the hill to the old man's modest house and knocked on the door. The man of wisdom came to the door and asked what they wanted. Proudly, the boy who held the bird stepped forward and stood with his hands at his back. He said, "Wise Old Man, I have a question for you. Tell me, what do I have in my hand behind me?" The old man said, "I would say that you have a bird." "That is right," said the boy, "but now can you tell me. is it alive or is it dead?" The" old man stood in utter silence for a few moments and thnn. with piercing eyes, he looked into the face of the arrogant lad and replied, "If T say it is alive, you will close your hand and crush it. If I say it is dead, you will open your hand and let it fly away." The an­ swer is in your hands. If more of us could see the parallel of this story to our lives -- if we could realize that each of us is, in fact, "the mas­ ter of our fate and the captain of our soul." Surely, man de­ termines his own destiny. We look around us, we see people who are successful and happy, enjoyjng life. And then, we see those who are despondent and distressed and, for the most part, just existing. We ask our­ selves . . . What is it, speci­ fically. jthat makes one person happy and another miserable? Is it money? No, it can't be . . . because when we begin to study people, when we know, we soon find that some of them have an abundance of material wealth but are most unhappy. Others have a modest or average in­ come and live rich and joyous lives. Money is important, of course, but in itself it will not bring happiness. It will help, if held in prooer perspective. The happiest and most successful person, however, is the one who has learned to enjoy life; the one who has learned to ap­ preciate what he has, whether it be a fortune or just an aver­ age income, as most of us have. It is the state of our mind that determines our happiness and success. Fortunately, we are endowed with the inalien­ able right and power to think as we choose. No one can in­ vade the privacy of our minds unless we consent. We can al­ low the negative to dominate us, with the result that we will be unhappy, morbid and miser­ able. Or, we can cultivate the p o s i t i v e , b y l o o k i n g f o r t h e best ... by keeping our minds open so that we don't fall into a mental rut. We can read wholesome literature.

According to Ms. Barbara Raymond, Region I - ICWLTS president, driver education, driver licensing, driver reexamination, and alcohol counter measures are the important points of the "Driver Control and Cooperation" campaign which will be under discussion during this meeting. "Women have a direct and personal interest in furthering the cause of traffic safety," Ms. Raymond said. "We of Region I - ICWLTS, which includes the counties of DuPage, Grundy, Kane, Kankakee, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, and Will, will be attending this meeting so that we can carry the traffic safety message back to our own local communities."
