PAGE 10 - PLAINDEAER-WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1973 Pastor Relates How Typical Day Is Spent (by Father Wm O.Hanner) People often say to me "You do not have anything to do all week. How do you use your time?" Let me describe a couple of days. On Advent Sunday, Dec. 2, I was at Holy Comforter, Kenilworth, one of the North Shore suburbs just south of Winnetka on a kind of "visitation". I had been rector there for fifteen years - following the Rev. Canon Leland H. Danforth, who had been rector for thirty-three years. For a parish to have only two rectors in forty-eight years is not a usual thing. The new rector the Rev. Father and Doctor Wayne L. Johnson asked me to come in and spend a whole day with them. I did. That is, we did, for of course Mrs. Hanner and I are a team that does not separate easily. We left McHenry around 4 p.m. on Saturday and drove at fifty miles an hour, as the President requested, to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Russell 0. Bennett of Wilmette. Mr. Bennett had been on my vestry and had been senior warden, a lay position of dignity amongst Episcopalians. He is now chancellor of the parish. This, too, is a place of dignity and responsibility. Mrs. Bennett is a hostess with Five A (A AAA A) rating and a lady who could teach the elegant art of fine cooking and has a hand with herbs and salad dressings. Her stay abed stew is one of the seven wonders of my years of acquaintence with the Ben­ netts. We all went in the evening for dinner to a parish family nearby where we dined and got caught up on all kinds of local news of children. There were four couples and we all knew each other well. It was a jolly evening. Home to the Bennetts by 10 and off to bed for a rest for the day ahead. On Sunday we were up at 6:30 had a hurried breakfast and by seven-thirty were at the church for the early Eucharist (Mass- Lord's Supper) which service I celebrated. It is a moving thing to give Communion to people whom you have loved for years; to see the children growing and grown; to meet the fiances; to see the faces of persons to whom you once ministered when they lay at the door of the Beyond and through God's grace recovered. To see those to whom you were a help and those who were a help to you--it shook me up and was not an easy thing to do. At 9:15 the second Eucharist was celebrated. Father Johnson took this service and with others I helped. The clerk of the Vestry came forward and at a break in the service for announcements read a resolution from the Vestry making me Rector Emeritus. They said some nice things in the resolution which I took with a grain of salt although I loved to hear them. They did represent objectives toward which, in my ministry, I had worked. After this service the entire congregation retired to the Great hall for a breakfast and a talk or address by the new Rector Emeritus. I spoke on the need for spiritual reading, where to find books and how to do the reading. Read spiritual things in short "doses". Think over what you read. Try to apply it to your own life. Many people take a spiritual book, wade through it and announce proudly, "It didn't do me a bit of good". Of course it didn't. They gave themselves spiritual in­ digestion. They tried too much. They read alone and not WITH GOD. There are things to learn about religion. At 11, the third service of the day was sung. Fr. Fraser, the curate, took this and also sang the Litany in Procession. Here I preached again, this time on the "Resilience of the Human Spirit Under God" and the need for a new climate under Christ,--all to be to the greater glory of God. These two talks that day involved the reading of five books and perhaps ten hours of preparation. You cannot talk of God out of an empty mind. You cannot stand up and open your mouth and be boring. You have to have a message. You have to speak out of overflowing reading, preparation, prayer -- and experience doesn't hurt. After all services I greeted MANY people. Then we had a reception at the rectory for the Vestry and officers of the parish and their wives. At 2 we went to lunch at Skokie Country club. They were having a buffet that night so we ate from . sandwich menu, I had a hamburger and fries (very good). At 4 we started for home. Got to McHenry at 5. Too tired to do anything but sleep for an hour and a half. By 7:30 p.m. we were in Woodstock for the Woodstock Fine Arts Choral society. They sang in the old courthouse. The program was very professional. We were guests of one of my former curate at Kenilworth, the Rev. Jack Schauble, now the rector of St. Ann's Woodstock. They sang Christmas Carols by Alfred Burt. They were in a modern motif. Some were profound, some delightful. Their last number, perhaps a half hour in presentation, was Vivaldi's "Gloria". Well and expertly done; accurate in its theology (which is a blessing not always enjoyed in modern America). Then home again and out to a local restaurant on the river where we got in just before the kitchen closed and had our second hamburger and French fries (very good too) of the day and so home to bed.

Anderson to fill the unexpired term of Kuby , Roy Lang, three years; and Kenneth Louton, three years. j Harold Nye and Milton pison Now you know what clergy do with their time. They serve people and I hope God, too, and all the time are pretty much in the public eye. They also read and travel while they do all this. Oh! I nearly forgot. Before we did all this we worked all day Friday at two bazaars, the one for Whispering Oaks club and the one for St. Paul's Episcopal church - both on one day in McHenry. are retiring from the board, both serving the maximum of six consecutive years per­ mitted by the by-laws.

MARGARET O'NEIL Clerk of the Court (Pub. Dec. 5-12-19,1973) "Y TREE SALE Looking for that special Christmas tree? Look no fur­ ther than the Lake Region Y's Men's Christmas tree lot at the Crystal Lake Plaza on Route 14 in Crystal Lake. The sale began last Saturday and will continue until all trees have been sold. There are 1,200 prime Scotch pines, ranging in size from 3 to 9 feet, especially cut for the sale. There are also 100 blue spruce being sold for the first time. All trees have been sprayed to preserve and fireproof them. Early selection to insure choice of the perfect tree is encouraged by the Y's Men's club. The tree's selling price is determined by its size. Proceeds from the sale will be used for the Y's Men's youth projects, such as camper-ships and memberships in the YMCA and for payment on the club's $200 pledge to the YMCA Building fund. Chief Difference The breadth of one's view is the chief difference between be- ipg "in the groove" and being "in a rut." V.A. NEWS EDITOR'S NOTE: Veterans and their families are asking thousands of questions con­ cerning the benefits their Government provides for them through the Veterans Ad­ ministration. Below are some representative queries. Ad­ ditional information may be obtained at any VA office. Q - Are WW II veterans eligible for pensions? I'm 65, and my wife and I need more than the $3,000 annual income we now live on. I served in WW II, but I wasn't wounded. A - Any 65-year old veteran who served a minimum of 90 days and received an other than dishonorable discharge is considered permanently and totally disabled for pension purposes. As a married man with your income, you could be eligible for $69 per month pension at current rates. Q - When a veteran who dies of service connected causes is buried in a private cemetery, will the Veterans Ad­ ministration pay the $150 plot • allowance in addition to the $800 allowance for funeral expenses? A - No. The $800 payment is for all funeral costs, including a burial plot. However, if death occurs in a VA facility, an additional amount is payable to transport the deceased to place of burial. Q - Is it true that veterans no longer have to apply for cer­ tificates of eligibility for education and training benefits? I hear that the Veterans Administration mails them to veterans so that they no longer have to apply in person. Because I didn't apply when I got out two years ago, will VA send mine through the mail? A - The new system is keyed to the list of dischargees now being furnished by the Department of Defense. Because you were discharged before the automatic system was established, it will be necessary for you to file ap­ plication for your benefits at the local VA office. The Veterans administration cautions veterans to check on availability of benefits before traveling or establishing residence abroad. Recent Veterans ad­ ministration statistics reveal that more than 1,200 Vietnam Era veterans, comprising nearly 7 percent of Vietnam Era veterans working for the agency, are women. Next year, 10 Veterans ad­ ministration hospitals in the Appalachian region will test a space satellite which will provide medical education and consultation via television and radio. Some 1,000 Department of Army employees and 82 national cemeteries operated by the Army were transferred to the Veterans Administration on Sept. 1, 1973, as authorized under Public Law 93-43 (June 18, 1973). According to the Veterans administration, 196,000 educationally disadvantaged veterans and servicemen have received free education benefits since it became available to veterans in 1967, and servicemen in 1970. Seven Veterans ad­ ministration hospitals, in cooperation with community colleges, are training a new kind of specialist known as a mental health associate to serve as a "therapeutic friend" to the psychiatric patient. The Veterans administration during fiscal year 1973 spent more than $2.5 billion in communities throughout the nation for medical and related care and supplies in connection with the agency's hospitals and clinics. The Veterans administration reminds veterans discharged between Jan. 31, 1955 and June 1,1966, that they have only until May 31, 1974 to complete training under the GI Bill- except for flight, farm, or on- job trainees, who have until August 30, 1975. Unemployed I didn't get the job, but I think I know why. On the application for position desired I wrote "ver­ tical." For Your Information Dear Friends, In these hectic days of shopping for gifts It is refreshing to recall that Christmas com­ memorates the birth of Christ - the greatest gift that mankind has ever received. During this Christmas Season, let us remember one simple truth - the greatest measure of hap­ piness comes to those who truly live for the welfare of their fellowman.
