ENGLISH VISITORS Donald and Estelle Murphy of Cumberland Circle recently enjoyed a visit with friends of long standing, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Corles of Birmingham, England. Mr. Murphy met the Corles when they graciously invited two wounded American GIs to their home during World War II. Mr. and Mrs. Corles and their daughter, Frieda Morris, spent a total of twenty-three days in Whispering Oaks. Mr. Corles was so taken with the Oaks that he made the statement, "If I l ived here, I 'd NEVER leave, not even for a holiday!" A special two day trip was made to acquaint the Corles with our state capitol in Springfield. They visited the State House and saw the Senate at work and topped off the trip with a tour of the Restored Governor's Mansion. "The long spiral staircase is a thing of beauty, the huge banquet table has to be seen to be appreciated, the sparkling chandeliers are like diamonds, makes one proud that the Ill inois Preservation Commission saved a lit t le bit of Il l inois history for you," Mrs. Murphy said. While here, the Corles celebrated their golden wed ding anniversary, naturally this called for a party. The Murphys hosted a party in their honor at a lovely restaurant in Chicago. Mrs . Corles was presented with a lovely orchid corsage in memory of the oc casion . WONDERFUL WILLIAMSBURG June and Herb Heckle of Oakwood Drive just returned from "wonderful William sburg." Being the Bicentennial year, the Heckles have decided to see* as much of American history as possible. In Williamsburg, they stayed four days and divided the village in fourths and really took the time to KNOW the town. A new museum has recently opened in one of the homes and young archeology students are busy at work, while the Heckels were watching the sifting, a human molar was found along with dishes, makes one wonder if the biscuits werejreally that hard! Williamsburg is-feeing allowed to go "natural" instead of the beautifully groomed grounds of a fairy tale town. The idea is to make it look as if real people live there as they did 200 years ago. After leaving Williamsburg they visited June's cousin, Mrs. Alice Bowes in Leesburg, Va. It is hard to realize that 4his charming lit t le country town, nestled in the Blue Ridge mountains is so close to busy Washington, D C., Mrs. Heckle said.

The McHenry County Senior Citizen's council sent its executive director, Marge Jones, and her assistant, Nellie Cina, to a three day seminar in DeKalb last month.0 The pur pose of the session was to give paralegal training to those serving as advocates of the public. The training session was conducted by FACT (Food Action and Community Training). The sessions began 1 1 on Wednesday with an in-depth look at the food stamp program. "After attending this seminar," said Mrs. Jones, "I am convinced that many senior citizens in McHenry county are eligible for and should be receiving and using' food stamps. It 's quite possible that some are under the impression that their income is too high to be able to apply. Most agencies answering inquiries about food stamps and public assistance eligibili ty state flatly that the introrhe for one or two cannot be above a certain level," con tinued Mrs. Jones. "This type of answer would lead most aging residents to believe they should not bother to apply. What the agencies often fail to mention," she emphasized, "is that certain deductions are made before the level of income is found." Deductions for rent, real estate taxes, util i t ies, and some medical expenses are taken plus any standard state and federal withholding, if one is working. "On Thursday we divided into small groups and created situations that might occur when one finds it necessary ,to apply for food stamps or public assistance, or if one is deni 'ed , the service and finds himself at * a 'fair hearing' " . FACT also presented lectures on consumer protection and the way to start a co-op. An aspect of the training that wasn't expected, was the en thusiasm and the unity displayed by all the par ticipants despite their diverse backgrounds. Along with people who will only be working with the elderly, there were representatives from the Chicago Committee on Urban Opportunity, the Cook County Office of Economic Op portunity. ^the Joliet-Will County Community Action Project, the Wine County Council of Economic Op portunity, the Lake County Community Action project, the. Northwestern Ill inois Com munity Action agency. Project NOW, the Tri-County ;Op- portunities council , and others. "Each day of the seminar was full ," remarked Mrs. Jones, "we were in working sessions day and night and had to study in between. We were exhausted by^Friday afternoon when the seminar ended. "We are looking forward to and will seek out any in struction like this that is li lable to us. With this type bring their questions to us at 201 N. Throop street (the old S&H building) in Woodstock, or call us at 338-6075. Any senior citizen living in McHenry county may call us collect if we are not within his or her calling area."

Application forms are available- at the County board office. Room 204, 2200 N. Seminary avenue (Rt.-4 47), Woodstock, phone 338-2040, extension 320.

It can also be used for repairing chips incurred in installation of a new tub, or to change the fixture's color. <It can be done on location, without removal. Its process merges compounds to the original bathtub enamel, thus developing a permanent molecular bond, reportedly more acid and chemical resistant than thl-, original finish. Its manufacturers say that the "lectroglazing" process wiU cut down on staining effects of water-dissolved mineral*. one of major causes of bathtub deterioration. H. E. Buch & Sons, Inc.
