SECTION 2- PAC.IT 2 • PLAINDEALER-WEDNE8DAY. APRIL 21 Travellers Roam Back Roads Through Georgia (By Father William O, Hanner, rector emeritus of Holy Comforter church, Episcopal, Kenilworth) If you follow my articles you know Rose and I hate main roads Anytime we get a chance we head for the back roads, slower, lesser traveled, more interesting and profitable. We left Macon and headed for Millidgeville over Georgia State 49. It was in Millidgeville the gas attendant washed my windshield, drving it with a squeegee which he then wiped off on his pants. I remarked, "Kind of hard on the pants isn't it?" "O, they'll dry," says he. Well, anyway, if you have never heard of Milledgeville-- listen, it's off the beaten track. Therefore it escaped the destruction many towns suf­ fered when Sherman marched from Atlanta to the Sea. He burned only the state prison. At that time Milledgeville was capital of Georgia. There were many fine old homes spared including the governor's mansion which was built in 1838. We missed a tour for we were there in the morning and tours are an afternoon activity. It was. in Milledgeville years ago, one summer (1954), I complained to a restaurant owner that Georgia was the Peach state and you could not get a dish of peaches in the height of the season at any restaurant I'd been in. He said, "Excuse me", went out and bought a basket of peaches, served us dishes of the fruit with cream and had more on hand for breakfast the next morning. , 1978 We roamed the back roads most of the morning and got into Augusta in the afternoon to see our friends, the Lassiters, whom we had visited last year. Again, Augusta was a sea of color from the azaleas which were in full bloom; again, we treated our eyes to the wafting, drifting of the masses of dogwood. Augusta is full of dogwood. I find it fair (in the old fashioned^ use of the word) to gaze upon. Of course it is "pretty, beautiful, lovely, snowy". But it is more than these, it is in clouds, it is wafty, It seems to present itself to you in parallels for the flowers are oftimes parallel to the ground and thus you get sensations of layers which don't layer all the time but intermingle. Dogwood and azaleas are a treat. One of Spring's great glories in the South and they travel with you for quite a while proceeding north till the chill won't let them bloom yet awhile. And of course in Georgia the peach blossoms have days and places of predominance. Red bud was in bloom. It is beautiful. Red bud is a light fuchsia as it blooms. It is magnificent when fresh but ages and grays rapidly. In Augusta, the Lassiter home is near the parish of the Good Shepherd. They invited the rector, Father Clarkson, and his wife plus a neighbour, in for dinner. We enjoyed the gracious rector and his char­ ming and capable wife. He was called to the parish when he was 29 and was now in his early sixties, so he has been rector over thirty years. This shows plainly in his parish. It has doubled in size, built new buildings, operates its own school and gets out four pretty good congregations on a Sunday. He is a sane, sensible, wise, devout father to his flock and a man of good nature and goocl cheer. Any church could rejoice to have such a pastor. Then too, in Augusta, is St. Paul's church. It was founded in 1750 and is older than our nation. It has a young rector in his early thirties. The parish is in an old part of town and one fourth of its congregation comes from South Carolina just a stone's throw away. He is the sixteenth rector of the parish. Mr. Lassiter, our host, is heading up a pretty widely known candy company that has its headquarters in Augusta. When he takes to the road he comes back with whopping orders. Ours is a business nation. You have to make and sell something to live, maybe it is candy, groceries, cars or maybe it is the sensible, sane preaching of the word of god and ministry to His people. There is much to be said for professionals in all fields of work. Augusta plainly shows itself as a city of business strength. Last year I remarked about one of the huge facets of life in Augusta, the great Master's golf tournament. Everywhere in town in the Spring, golf is the subject of talk, interest and speculation. Mrs. Lassiter made a hole-in-one in a golf affair and got herself well HERE AND THERE IN BUSINESS * Wonder Lake EAS Additions Are Under Way The installation of additional telephone switching equipment for the Wonder Lake exchange is under way, according to an announcement made by Charles C. Merritt, Belvidere division manager for the General Telephone company of Illinois. According to Merritt the project includes the addition of 200 lines, 100 telephone num­ bers, switching equipment needed to establish Extended Area Service (EAS) from Wonder Lake to Woodstock and McHenry, and a single digit dialing access code for long distance and EAS calling. written up in the local papers. Inasmuch as she made the hole- in-one with a golf ball, one of a box I gave her last Spring as a hospitality gift, I was tickled pink. Her club mounted the ace ball. You know, it is possible to lead useful and happy lives. You don't have to drive like Satan nor drink yourself under the table to have a lot of fun and a useful happy rewarding life. Have a Happy Easter. Spring Tling Sale Prices effective while quantities last. We reserve the right to limit quantities.

NEW BUSINESS A new business in McHenry is Transformation Finishing and Modeling school, 2906 W. Rt. 120, McHenry, which an­ nounces grand opening with classes now forming. The school opens May 3. Fine Response To "Pol/Heal Honesty" Appeal Pat Dusthimer, coordinator for the Coalition for Politcal Honesty, is enthusiastic over the fine response to the petition drive. On Saturday, April 3, a state­ wide shopping center day was held, and shopping areas were covered in McHenry and Woodstock. Sixteen volunteer workers helped Mrs. Dusthimer collect signatures on petitions working from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. During that time they collected 1,700 signatures locally and Pat Quinn, secretary-treasurer of the coalition, said that state-wide they collected 30,000. Today the grand total state­ wide is 360,000, of which McHenry county contributed 7,000. Only 15,000 more signatures are needed. Anyone who has any petitions in their possession, even if they are not completely filled, are asked to turn them in now to Pat Dusthimer at 653-6310 or to Pat Quinn, 28 N. Madiston street, Oak Park, II. "Cadette World" For ye Sybaquay Girl Scouts "Cadette World", a special council-wide event for Cadette Girl Scouts in the Sybaquay council, will be held Saturday, April 24, at the Elgin academy in Elgin.

The Sybaquay council is supported in part by Com­ munity Chests and United Funds and serves girls in Cook, Kane, Lake, DuPage, LaSalle, McHenry and DeKalb counties. : 1 V f *" V Yi , National Hospital Week | Observance May 9-15 *~ Memorial hospital for McHenry County will observe National Hospital week next month, but the emphasis will be on more than helping people get well, says Bert Hanson, executive director for the county-wide hospital located at Woodstock. "Caring for the sick, of course, is a prime concern," continues Hanson, "but the hospital is doing many things to help people keep healthy and is taking part in educational programs to inform people on good health care habits." The National Hospital week theme May 9-15 will reflect the wish of people in the nation's 7,000 hoapitals~"Healthy Birth­ day, America! 1776-1976." It's in keeping with the Happy .Birthday, America theme this Bicentennial year and is a good way to call attention to the contribution hospitals are making to encourage people to do what they can to assure better health, emphasizes Hanson. Hanson says the hospital wants citizens throughout the community to be conscious of the fact that the hospital's interest in people's well-being extends beyond their treatment at Memorial hospital. "We feel an obligation to educate people about steps they can take which will make valuable contributions to their own good health- "Citizens need to know about special services and other care provided in time of need. Memorial hospital maintaihs an expanded and modern Emergency department with a doctor on duty in the hospital throughout the night. On weekends a doctor is located in the hospital, and an increased number of people are turning to this service. This reflects the changing health care habits and needs of a burgeoning community." Memorial hospital works with many health care and civic groups to present in­ formation on "keeping healthy." Heart association, Breathing association, County Cancer Society chapter, March of Dimes-those are among groups Memorial hospital for McHenry county is pleased to work with. In addition, talks are given before civic groups and the news media is a valued source of making the 1976 National Hospital week slogan a significant one.
