Ringwood News 653-9008 653-9262 728-0295 Trip Itinerary Includes Bus Tour To Many Landmarks * u Ila Hogan of Ringwood has recently returned from a trip to England and this column is printing the interesting news concerning the journey. The first of the series appeared in the Friday, June 18, Plain- dealer. The following is a continuation of that article. On Sunday we went to church at the base chapel where Earl sings in the choir then home for a quick lunch before heading for RAF Feltwell where Randy was playing a doubleheader ball game. Monday we shopped in Bury St. Edmunds and got Randy fitted for his tuxedo for the Junior-Senior prom, lunching at the Bell hotel in Mildenhall. Again we had bar snacks, this time it was Quiche Lorraine which is very popular in England but is often referred to as Bacon and Egg pie. The Bell hotfel is the second oldest building in Mildenhall village and is Tudor styled with a maze of small rooms each with its own fireplace. Tuesday, May 25, we went again to London as we wanted to see the Agatha Christie play, "Mousetrap" which is in its tWenty-foorth year at St. Martin's theatre. Since the ' death of Agatha Christie, evening performances have sold out regularly. Mary and Earl both say they will miss y being able to go to the theatre in London very much. We took the London sight­ seeing tour as there were a few things that I missed when we did London two years ago. We took a county bus to Victoria and then took the underground to Piccadilly where we got on the sightseeing bus. On the county bus when we got on in the village just down the hill from Mary's home were some friends of hers from Lakenheath who were going down to ride horses in Hyde park. Our tour took us through a part of Soho which is the hub of London nightlife, then past St. James' place and Green Park to Knightbridge where we saw the Wellington Arch, a memorial to the first Duke and the victor of Waterloo in 1815. Nearby is the Wellington museum and Apsley house where the "Iron Duke" lived for many years after Waterloo. Then down Park lane to Bayswater Roar to see the Marble Arch which was built by Nash as a main gateway to Buckingham palace. It was built too narrow for the royal coach to pass through so it stands as a gateway to nothing...just a monument. Next, we passed along one side of Hyde park and were surprised to actually see Mary's friends riding where kings and queens hive ridden. When Mary saw them and commented, several tourists on the bus most of whom werei Americans, gave doubtful looks that we actually knew them! The Kensington gardens and palace are where Princess Margaret lives when she is in London and the lake is known as the Serpentine. The flower banks along Kensington were in beautiful color. Next the Roay Albert hall, London's largest concert hall and the Albert Memorial both com­ memorate Victoria's Prince consort. Then in contrast came next the new modern barracks for the Queen's household cavalry and the horse barracks which looked like some modern motel, three to four stories high. • * We traveled along Buckingham Palace road past Victoria station, one of Lon­ don's busiest places, to Sloane Square then King's road where we passed between lovely apartment buildings where the elite had three to four story flats with servant's quarters on top. There are small park areas down the center of the road with apartments facing each other - very lovely. We then crossed the Thames river on the Albert bridge to the Chelsea area of London. We next passed Battersea park where the famous Chelsea flower show was in progresr, on past Royal hospital, Chelsea- built by Wren in 1682-92. On down Grosvenor road past the Battersea power station which is the source of most of Lon­ don's domestic power supply. We passed by Tintagel house, ^the Tate Gallery Millbank tower and then crossed Lambeth bridge to Lambeth palace which dates back to 1450 and is the residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury. From this side of the River we had a lovely view of the House of Parliament which was finished in 1852 and is correctly namted the Palace of West­ minster. We also could see the world renowned Big Ben clock named after Benjamin Hall, the Minister of the Works at the time. In Westminster Abbey, which was founded by Edward the Confessor in 1065, many kings and queens are buried. The Abbey has been the scene of every coronation since 1065. We traveled on down the Strand, passed County hall, the Waterloo bridge where we saw the H.M.S. Discovery which made the historic trip to the North Pole. On down past the Law Courts, "Old Bailey", Fleet street (known as the street of ink because of its many newspaper offices,) to St. Paul's Cathedral. It is Christopher Wren's master­ piece and the parish church of the Commonwealth. Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington and Wren are entombed here. The Cathedral took twenty-five years to complete. We saw parts of the old London wall on our way to the new London bridge (the former bridge was re-erected in Arizona). Moored next to the bridge is the H.M.S. Belfast, the largest cruiser ever built for the Royal Navy. Mary and her son Scott had gone com­ pletely through the ship on another day in London and said it was very fascinating. We crossed the River Thames on the Tower bridge just by the Tower of London, the city's ancient fortress built by William the Conqueror. I went through the tower on my last visit and viewed the Crown Jewels and the various collections that are housed here. The Tower with its Beefeater Guards, Armour, Hanging Tower, dungeons, royal murders, etc., is the most popular tourist attraction in all of London. On our way to Piccadilly we passed Cleopatra's Needle which is over 3,500 years old, the twin of this statue is in New York Central park. We traveled down Whitehall past No. 10 Downing street, the official residence of the Prime Minister, past the Banqueting house built by Inigo Jones in 1622 and the only remaining building of the ancient palace of Whitehall, down past the Horse Guards built by William Kent in 1750, to Trafalgar Square with Nelson's Column standing 188 ft. high in the middle. The lions and base were as usual covered with pigeons and students. We passed the Admiralty Arch which is part of the memorial to Queen Victoria and through which only the Sovereign may pass through the center gateway, again we passed St. James' palace and back to busy, colorful Pic­ cadilly Circus. We hurried to the theater just in time for the afternoon matinee of "The Mousetrap" which we thoroughly enjoyed. Later we had a late lunch and wearily made our way home. The next day we packed, took care of some last minute details for the family, including making meals ahead, adding trim to Sherri's prom dress (which she made by herself) tried to work out rides, etc., for the children as Earl was going to be on Alert and we were leaving the next morning for Spain. It was quite a busy day- getting tux from Bury, the "right" jewelry for Sherri's dress, uniforms for baseball games, etc, etc. I don't think I could take a houseful of busy teenagers for too long. NEXT-SPAIN CONFIRM ELEVEN Eleven young people of the Greenwood-Ringwood parish were confirmed last Sunday by Rev. James Segin. The young folks confirmed at the Ringwood church were Robert Baker, Cedrin Bayle, Laurie Bidlack, Lora Schiller, Linda Schiller, Susan Schiller, Tamara Schiller and Michelle Silzer. Those confirmed at the Greenwood church were Debra Coss, William Dowell and Cheryl Wilson. All the con- firmands participated in services at both churches. A reception was held at the Ringwood church following services to honor the young people. BAPTISM Theresa Ann, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Anderson, Jr., was baptized during services at the Ringwood United Methodist church last Sunday, with Rev. James Segin officiating. Godparents for the little girl were Larry Cristy, her uncle, and Mrs. Jon Emigholz, an aunt. TTieresa wore the same dress worn by her mother, the former Terri Cristy, for her baptism. Later in the day a family dinner was served by Bill and Shirley Cristy, the maternal grandparents. Among those attending were Mrs. Clara Cristy, great grandmother, and paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. William Anderson, Sr., of Crystal Lake. VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL It was a week of learning and fun for the thirty-six children enrolled in the Vacation Bible school last week at the Ringwood church. Children from both the Greenwood and Ringwood parish enjoyed learning, working on crafts, and playing together under the leadership of nineteen adults and teen-agers. Friday, the children invited their parents to observe their class activities and participate in. the worship service. At the end of the session, everyone enjoyed a sack lunch picnic on the church lawn. HERE AND THERE It was a busy day last Sunday for Mrs. Nellie Hepburn with friends and relatives dropping by to visit. Those who called during the day were Mr. and Mrs. John Blackman of Antioch with their grandchildren, Amy and Brad; Mr. and Mrs. Kenny Brennan with children, Wendy and Wayne; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Smith; Mrs. Beulah Kick; Mrs. Marion Tobin; Mrs. Almira Simone; and Art Jensen. Other recent visitors were Mrs. Betty Fiala and Mrs. Tom Andes. Clayton and Virginia Bruce traveled south this past weekend. They went to Mt. Vernon, II., to attend the wedding of nephew Stanley Bruce on Saturday, June 19. On the way down on Saturday they stopped and spent a short time with Gay ton's mother and they stopped again on their way home on Sunday. They also visited Gay ton's sister and brother-in-law, June and Or- ville Schrieves in Cisne, II. Carrie Lou Thomas and daughter Julie had breakfast with Doris Low on Wednesday of last week. Doris visited with brother Larry on the weekend, as they were down to attend Larry's class reunion on Saturday night and a family reunion on Carrie Lou's side of the family.

THINGS TO REMEMBER Sunday, June 27 - Church Services - Ringwood church - 9:15 a.m. Monday, June 28, - U.M.Y. Great American trip. Tuesday, June 29 - Bible study - Ringwood - 9 a.m. . Organisations Launch Public Action Council More than 100 locally powerful community action organizations from throughout Illinois will launch a major new citizens federation, the Illinois Public Action council, in Springfield June 26-27. Some 250 delegates will attend the inaugural conference, whose theme is "It's time to fight back." They will choose and initiate action campaigns in the, four issue areas which they have identified: taxes, utility rates, neighborhood preser­ vation and new development problems. The Illinois Public Action council has been in the planning and organizing stages for the past year. Groups participating in the formation of Public Action come from throughout the state geographically and represent widely diverse constituencies, including homeowner associations, senior citizen councils, far­ mers' leagues, tenants' unions, consumer organizations and citizen action groups. Despite their diversity, the groups share a commitment to building a statewide federation which can represent the con­ cerns of the vast majority of Illinois citizens. "These 100 organizations have-gotten together to form Public Action because so many of the problems facing our communities are too large to be tackled by each group working in isolation," explained Ber­ nard Willow, chair of the Illinois Public Action council and a founder of Logan Con­ cerned Citizens. "Participating organizations are ones which have roots and command the respect of citizens in their communities. They are groups which are serious about making fundamental change and plan to stick to it." Field Trip Report On Gem, Mineral Agenda The Hiawatha Gem and Mineral society will hold its next meeting at 7:30 p.m., on Tuesday, July 6, in the down­ stairs meeting room of the McHenry city hall. A report on the field trip to Amboy, II., will be made for the benefit of those who could not attend. Also on the agenda is part 4 of the basic instruction series leading to the identification of rocks and minerals. Anyone interested in the hobby of "rock hounding" is invited to attend the meeting. Area Hospital Offers Emergency Specialist A physician trained in emergency service will be on duty in Memorjpl Hospital for McHenry County, Woodstock, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, beginning July 1. This specialist who has had training in emergency procedures will be in the Emergency Services and Outpatient department at the hospital, Bert Hanson, executive director, said in announcing this! major added service to the many thousands of people in Memorial hospital's area of health care service. "The public has shown it wants and needs this expanded, around-the-clock service through its growing use of the Emergency department," said Hanson. "We have worked out this new program with the help of our own hospital medical staff which welcomes the ad­ ditional manpower to handle the growing population and growing patient load in this area." Hanson said the Memorial hospital board of directors has contracted to have a group of physicians from Oak Brook called Critical Care Medical Associates to supply the new service. < "These physicians have had special training and have purposely chosen trauma as their medical area of responsibility because this is what they want," continued Hanson. "Those who work in our hospital will become members of our medical staff and may move here to live. "They will also handle other responsibilities, expanding the medical service provided by Memorial Hospital." Hanson said they will assist in training members of the rescue squads and personnel in the emergency will bring expertise iergency room as people who have handled a number of emergencies, in­ cluding cardiac arrests. Hanson said a majority of people have hospitalization to cover this type treatment. Some policies do not cover treatment of this type in a physician's office, however. Dr. Ray Pensinger, chief of the medical staff, said he and other doctors helped establish the expanded service. Staff doctors for years have provided the emergency room coverage, staying in the hospital over­ night. However, when emergency duties were heavy, they may not have been at their most efficient pace. The growing number of emergency cases treated emphasizes the wisdom of the board's decision to bring in CCMA, concluded Dr. Pensinger. In 1966, Memorial hospital had 2,263 emergency room cases. By 1970 it had grown to 3,420. By 1974 it totaled 7,377; then last year it totaled 8,221 and projections for 1976 totaled 9,620! However, Dr. Pensinger stressed that the Memorial hospital's medical staff con­ tinues on a backup duty basis should a multiple emergency demand more medical ex­ pertise in the emergency room. "We anticipate a growing number of outpatient cases which certainly are not classed emergencies," said Hanson "We have found in the past more people were turning to us for medical help during off hours, so this new program simply meets the public demand. "Now that we have the physician on duty, we advise people to come to the Emergency department. In the past a sprained ankle was something that could wait until the next afternoon's office hours at the family doctor Now it should be taken care of at once in the hospital."

Wednesday, Prayer Service, 7:30 p,m. It looks like fun outside. A bright, happy, wonderful day -- and a pal to share it with. A world of promise. As the future unfolds in every life it looks like a world of promise. Whether it lives up to our expectations depends less on what's outside than what's inside. Human character tends to shape the events and experiences of life. Our tremendous responsibility as parents is to nurture a human soul, foster its spiritual growth, cultivate the crucial development of our child's character. As a window lets light reach inside, the teaching of moral and religious truth lets faith find its rightful place in each youthful heart. To discover all the Promise in this world the soul must begin by, realizing the promises of God.
