I PAGE 8 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 1975 History A long Road Makes Homeward Trip Interesting WM. HENRY HARRISON MONZA MIA! WAIT'LL YOU SEE WHAT'S COMING MAY 8, AT PA1TOIM CHEVROLET HWY :ri SOUTH PU. 3X5-2100 McHENHY (By Father William O. Hanner, pastor emeritus of Holy Comforter church, Episcopal, Kenilworth) From Berea, Ky., we crossed Indiana to Vincennes. Indiana is full of history. It is senior in the Union to Illinois having been admitted a state two years earlier. LaSalle explored it in 1679. Vincennes was the first permanent settlement. From its capitol, French trading posts covered the country. Here the Catholic church seated its first bishop and his cathedral in the early days. In pre-revolutionary days the French and the British vied for control of the Mississippi valley. George Rogers Clark, a Virginian, captured Vincennes fj-om the French in 1779, even as in 1778 he had driven the English from Kaskaskia in what is now Illinois. In the last battle in the West during the Revolution, Clark drove the Shawnee tribe from Ohio, the battle being fought at Chillicothe. His exploits are commemorated in the George Rogers Clark memorial at Vincennes, dedicated by President Roosevelt II in 1936. He had secured for the United States the Ohio valley. This is the territory that became known, plus other areas, as the Northwest Territory. It was ceded to the United States formally in the Treaty of Paris. Clark did a lot for the United States and well deserves his memorial. That he later got into land speculation and less noble pursuits need not dim the glory of his forced marches in the dead of winter, or his valor, or his sacrifices. He secured to our nation an empire. It was a privilege to see his memorial and meditate upon the leadership of our earlier days. Indiana is the state where Lincoln spent his boyhood. Here also lived William Henry Harrison, the ninth president of the United States. His grandson, Benjamin Harrison, was the twenty-third president, being sandwiched in between the two terms of Grover Cleveland. William Henry was inaugurated at the age of 68, the oldest inauguree for that office. He spoke bareheaded at his inauguration for nearly two hours, con­ tracted a severe cold which ran into pneumonia and was dead in thirty-one days. His term still remains the shortest of any president and teaches us to keep our hats on in cold weather. Harrison's home is in Vin­ cennes. It is a fine old house. He called it Grousland from the number of grouse in the area. Long, long gone are the grouse. Today there is a factory in the front yard. The house has fine lines, circular bay windows up and down stairs, known as "bow" windows. There is a bullet hole in one shutter made by an Indian who fired at Harrison as he walked in his living room with a child in his arms. The original estate contained 300 acres. Today the local D.A.R. chapter owns and keeps up the home. Harrison lived here from 1804 'til 1812. In the yards across the wav lie the earliest capitol of Indiana and other historical quarters. A third spot of old Vincennes history - is the Roman cathedral. The bishop has since moved his seat from here to Evansville but the four earliest bishops who ruled from here, are buried in the crypt and have their coats-of-arms painted upon the ceiling. The present Pope raised this church to the status of basilica, one of about twenty parishes so honored in our country. The next morning we rose early and got on the road. I stopped in Effingham, 111., to get some anti freeze. It is a good thing I did considering the weather that greeted us just after Easter in McHenry. I think the boys in the garage thought I was "tetched" in the head for the day was warm. If we can stop at Areola, 111., on our travels we always do. Here is an Amish community and the food in their eateries should not be passed by thoughtlessly. This was where we lunched. We pushed on north through rain and more rain and sleet. Rose was driving, poor dear, she often has the wheel in tight spots. We were glad to get home. Father McKay kindly let me say the High Eucharist on Easter. The altar was well bedecked, the choir ap­ proached St. Cecilia and the Angels, the men were proud of their families, the little girls were all primped up, the boys were serving. It was good to be home for the High Day with our friends and neighbors. Laus Deo! Recaps Of 1975 Farm Programs Made By ASCS T h e A g r i c u l t u r a l Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) has issued a complete recap of previously announced farm program provisions. Jim Lucas, county executive director said, "While most area farmers are probably aware of major program provisions, we want to assure that all farmers un­ derstand the various rates and rules as they progress with field work and planting. A few of the provisions are different from last year, but the basic programs, in effect for 1974, remain virtually unchanged. "Even though the natioh% farmers are virtually free to plant what they feel the market prices indicate will be needed, every farmer certainly needs to know where he stands with regard to federal farm programs," Mr. Lucas said. The highlights of the 1975 programs include: (1) no land set-aside or conserving base requirements; (2) no limit on the amount of wheat, feed grains or cotton acreage a farmer can plant; (3) disaster payments for prevented planting or abnormally low yields; (4) deficiency payments if market prices fall below target prices; (5) acreage allotments used only to determine the maximum acreage eligible for payment; (6) crop substitution to protect the allotment history; and (7) a $20,000 limitation on the amount of payments a person Professional actor greets children alter play can receive under all programs combined.

However, unless you have a proper*'will"or "trust fund", this distribution will be made by the courts of law. One should make legal pre­ parations well in advance for the distribution of one's estate. Respectfully, I'M REAILV GROOVY.'
