It is now lighted and presents an im­ posing sight to the visitor. posin W Retired Clergyman Reviews Highlights Of7 Recent Trip (Father William O. Hanner, 810 N. Oakwood drive, McHenry, retired Episcopal priest, writes his concluding article on the recent winter spent touring the southern states. It is a summary of many of the experiences about which he wrote earlier in detail). "We have been home a month now from our winter travels. Thinking back over them, I put down some thoughts. "A man is fortunate in his friends. There was Glen Swetman, Mr. Biloxi of 1972, with whom we stayed. We rented an apartment in Biloxi and saw Glen very often. He roomed across the hall from me at the U.S. Naval academy at Annapolis, Md., in the fall of 1921, fifty-two years ago. He is a leader in Biloxi and president of the People's bank. "Craig and Margaret Atkinson are old friends. "Crego" roomed next to me at Northwestern university in Evanston in the fall of 1924, forty-nine years ago. We went to Europe together for three months in 1928.1 was their best man. We stayed with the Atkinsons too. He is treasurer for Tamiami Trailways. Our Disney World trip was spon­ sored by Mr. A. "Janet and Sue Egan were parishioners while they were in high schodl back in the late 1930's. They have been friends for thirty-eight years. Sue went with Mrs. Hanner and me to Washington, D.C., for a school project. These ladies have a beautiful, large and busy shop near St. Petersburg. They took us to a gourmet dinner. "Father and Mrs. Feaster I presented for confirmation twenty-two years ago. I presented him for ordination. It was at their new house, Hi- Brow, we stayed on the way home this year-as we passed through Tennessee. "Friends! Be good to them. They are a rich prize. "Then we counted up restaurants we ate in. Just over eighty. Some were just the last world in poshy Florida eateries. Some were not very good. But our eating out was, by and large, a success. We enjoy it and do it a lot. "Another thing that im­ pressed me was roadside litter. Why do folks throw beer cans about? The beer companies have done their nation a great disservice. What kind of people throw their litter away in parks and on roadsides? What do you suppose their homes look like inside? "Yet again, the destruction of wildlife, the cutting down of trees, the erosion causing dredging along the seashore (Sanibel Island in Florida is a good example). When a beautiful tree is cut, it is gone. Years ago when I was building St. Stephen's churcji in Miami, Fla., I caught some workmen about to cut one of my favorite trees down. I asked why. And what do you think they answered me? They were building a sidewalk and it would go where the tree was. "Run it around the tree," I ordered. "It will take another half hour', they demured. "Cut down a tree to save a1 half an hour and a little work!!! God had spent fifty years growing that tree. I'll tell you a secret. IT IS STILL THERE. Save trees. Save the land. It cannot be replaced. "But there was a happier note. The great wildlife refuges, the Crab Orchard refuge at Marian, 111., Corkscrew Swamp, which I never got written up and which we visited in mid-Florida not far from Immokalee on the Cross Florida Turnpike Alligator alley. Here are a few ancient Cypresses, the largest left in the nation, up to 400 years old. Then there is Everglade National park where we saw several anhinga nesting and the American Bald Eagle which we also saw on the nest with the young birds plainly discernible. The beautiful refuge on Sanibel Island, the Sea Shell island where con- chologists from all over the world gather, I have described in the Plaindealer. "The west coast of Florida appears to be on the way of the east coast. When I held a Florida parish the west coast was still pretty wild. We took ferrys where now causeways are built. Today highrises lift their expensive lush and evil facades milking off the un­ derground water and in the long run impoverishing the nation's future. This generation is flagrant in its abuse of resources. And Disney World-what is to be said of this gigantic un­ dertaking? It was entertaining and eyeopening to see it. The thing that most impressed me was not the place itself, nor the plans, nor the entertainment but the fine, polite, cleancut, eager folks in their late teens and twenties," both men and women, who ran the place and cared for you. "On the way home we stopped off in a Kentucky State park. There are a number of them and they are among the finest organized and run state parks in the nation. Maybe they even are the best. Take a look- see sometime. I'm going to stop at them again. "I am a priest of the Episcopal church, retired.

I have worshiped in cathedrals and mission stations, in my own churches and in Roman Catholic and Protestant congregations. There is a pulling together of the churches. The preaching is sometimes good and sometimes less able. Some of the boys miss good stopping places but in their own congregations many of the clergy are fine, strong and provoking preachers. A clergyman preaches best to his own people by and large. "This is a pretty good nation and people. This is a good land. Let us take care of it. In the race of life let us not take all we can get. Other generations will come after us and to them we owe an heritage. God's grace and help and Spirit be upon us all."

Special McHenryWomen At Girl Scout Council Meet Over 160 delegates and visitors from all twenty-seven neighborhoods in the Sybaquay Girl Scout council attended the annual meeting at Northern Illinois University center, DeKalb, May 3.

The new site, located in Hartland Township of McHenry county, will be used for overnight camping, day camping and outdoor training sessions. Mrs. Eleanor Eells of St. Charles then gave some insights on the value of camping experiences for young people and suggested some ways for volunteers to give service in helping to provide camping experiences in her speech. Council recognition was given to several volunteers for very special contributions to Girl Scouting. The Thanks badge, symbolic of outstanding service, was presented to Claude Scribner, Elgin; Mrs. Albert Lockett, Barrington; Mrs. Denver Leturno, Car- music will be provided by Angela Amici.

One essential portion of happiness seems to be the ability to do without some of the things you'd like to have, but know that you can't. Farmers concerned about the delay in their planned fi*4d work this spring because of the weather can take Some comfort in assurances about using thefr present supply of seed corn.' - John Somers, seed research and development director for FS Services, Inc., advises farmers and seed corn dealers that it is premature to begin thinking about switching to earlier maturing varieties. "Ordinarily," Somers said, "corn planting can be delayed in mo6t areas until the last week in May or the first week of June before you can justify switching to earlier varieties. "Shifting to earlier varieties before this time will usually result in lower yields, ©in­ experience has been that full season varieties will not yield as well when planted in late May or early June as when planted prior to May 10, but they will normally yield more than earlier maturing varieties planted in late May or early June. "We would suggest that if a farmer normally plants full- season varieties in his area, there is still plenty of time remaining before he should be concerned about changing to an earlier maturing variety,"' Somers ad'*;sed.
