Wonder Lake Mary Jean Huff 728-0267 Japanese Visitor Prompts En/oyable Culture Exchange The summer of 1976 will 'be long remembered by Betty Harney and her family." The reason why is explained in Betty's following comments which she was kind enough to share with us. "As a part of the Japanese Labo and American 4-H ex­ change program, twelve and one-half-year old Kumiko Vchiyama who lives near Tokyo, Japan, visited the Ralph Hameys this summer for one month. 4-H member, Lori Harney, fourteen, had stayed at Kumiko's home last summer for a month. Kumiko is in Labo which is an organization mainly to teach English through plays and parties. Kumiko has English in school, too. Although Kumiko can write English better than speak, our family had a great time with her. She went sailing, swim­ ming, visited Hogan's farm, went to McDonalds, Kentucky Fried chicken, Farmer's Market and a two week tent camping vacation with us to the National forests in Wyoming. She loved our food, especially hot dogs, steak, spaghetti, ice cream and all our desserts. Kumiko took home pudding mixes, cake mix, Jello, chicken noodle soup and Kool Aid mixes for her family. She brought green tea, rice balls, chocolate covered cornflakes and rice curry for our family to try. It was interesting how fine and neatly Kumiko chopped potatoes, onions and carrots for her curry dish. Sleeping in a bed was a fun experience because at home she sleeps on the floor on mats. My electric can opener was fun to run. She has a hand one at home. Kumiko went camping with our 4-H club at Rush Creek conservation area. She taught the 4-Hers her Labo song in Japanese. Kumiko loved to play and many hours were spent with frisbees and a Japanese version of paper, rock, scissors game. Ralph and I think we should send our kids to Japan for a few years to learn not to fight and squabble. Kumiko said, "My sister and I do not fight". It was a tear jerking time to say goodby at the airport and our house seemed empty af­ terward with all her gifts to us and the many ol^ami birds she had taught us Mmake. Of course goodby was hard but letters back and forth will help. Kumiko's mother wrote: "Kumiko arrived in Omiya, first speech is "very hot". Thank you very much for letting Kumiko stay with you. She talked me many things of every day. She had the won­ derful time at your house. Thank you for the beautiful cooking book and everything you gave us. I'll learn American cooking by this book. Our living room is crowded with many things she brought. Kumiko said, American people are friendly, foods are very nice, she likes Wyoming camp very wonderful scene, sailing pleasant. She had very pleasant time! All of your family welcome to Japan." Sincerely, Shizuko Vchiyama" YOUNG AT HEARTS The Wonder Lake Young at Hearts will be offering "The Best of Their Kitchens", at their upcoming bake sale on Saturday, Sept. 11.

CUTBACKS Early on Friday morning, Aug. 27, there was a power failure in Wonder Lake and many residents were without electricity. That Friday also happened to be the first day of school. We had known for some time of the great financial difficulties at Harrison school and at the supper table that night the conversation was mostly school talk. One of our sons was explaining some of the cutbacks, such as fewer bus runs, no extra curricular ac­ tivities, shorter recess periods and with some indignation, he continued with what seemed to be the last straw. "Do you know, they didn't even have the Plan Jews For Jesus Program At Covenant A special program of drama, testimoney and song will be presented at the Chain O'Lakes Evangelical church located at 4815 W. Wilmot road, McHenry, Tuesday, Sept. 14, at 7:45 p.m., by Jews For Jesus newest group. "The Natural Branch." Jews for Jesus is a national organization with its headquarters in San Rafael, Ca.. a suburb of San Francisco. They rose to national recognition in the early seventies when a substantial number of young Jews began believing in Jesus. Presently, they have branch works in Los Angeles. New York, Boston and Chicago; as well as their San Francisco outreach Under the leadership of Moishe Rosen, the organization has maintained a high profile with regard to their stand on being both Jewish and Christian. Says Rosen, "All the early lights on this morning!" HAPPINESS IS..

COMMUNITY CALENDAR September 9, Wonder Lake Garden club meeting, 8 p.m. home of Gretchen Pose. September 11, Young at Hearts bake sale, Christ the King hall, 9 a.m. till ? September 15, Young at Hearts meeting. September 25, Tax Referendum, District 36, Harrison school Christian believers were Jews and the New Testament was written by Jewish people, so when people tell us that we are a contradiction of terms, we just ask them to take a better look at history." The Natural Branch is a group of two Jews for Jesus women. Steffi Rubin, 26. and Jucfi Papermaster, 28. Steffi Rubin, originally from the Bronx. New York, is the office manager of the Chicago branch of JFJ and serves as an assistant to her husband, Barry "Reuben" Rubin, leader of the Chicago work. She is a graduate of Simpson Bible college, San Francisco, and was responsible for very much of the development of the new Jewish-Gospel music group "The Liberated Wailing Wall," with whom she served for two and one-half years. As Art director at headquarters in San Francisco from 1975-76 she was instrumental in illustrating and writing many of the "Broad­ side" gospel tracts which Jews for Jesus hand out by the thousands on busy street corners, campuses, shopping centers, wherever crowds gather. Steffi is also a member of the board of directors of Hineni Ministries, the organization that governs the ministry of Jews for Jesus. Judi Papermaster, the other half of "The Natural Branch," is originally from Los Angeles. Judi is an approved student and recipient of the Jews for Jesus council scholarship, a special grant for promising Jewish Christians. She attends Moody Bible institute and is working for a certificate in Jewish and Modern Israel Studies. She has been chairman of their Hebrew prayer band as well. Since moving to Chicago, Judi has initiated two areas of outreach for Jews for Jesus, one in literature distribution and the other in Jewish nursing home visitation. Both young women extend an invitation to the public to come and hear why they believe that Jesus is for the Jews and Gentiles alike. Admission is free. TAX FACTS Although 1976 is more than half over, this is an excellent time for taxpayers to review their federal income tax withholding rates. Why9 Because some taxpayers were surprised this year that they had to pay federal tax in ad­ dition to that withheld during 1975. Too often taxpayers do not realize that they will owe more tax until they prepare their tax returns. If the tax is a few dollars more, it may not be a problem, but if a person finds that it will be $100 or more, this could be hardship. The tax­ payer also could incur a penalty for failure to pay estimated tax. Charles F. Miriani, IRS district director for northern Illinois, suggested that tax payers review their withholding now and compare it with the tax they had to pay with their last return to be certain that enough money will be withheld by the end of 1976. "If the amount is too low, taxpayers may want to in­ crease withholding or file Form 1040-Es, Declaration of Estimated Tax for Individuals, and make estimated tax payments," said Miriani. Miriani reminded taxpayers that the toll-free telephone tax assistance is available from the IRS on a year-round basis For individuals living in Chicago, the number if 435-1040. For residents living in area 312. except Chicago, and those listed in the Joliet phone directory, the number to call is 800-972-5400. All other northern Illinois taxpayers should call 800-252-2921. Assistance is available week days, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. GOOD WORD from tin Ihblc No man can serve two masters: For either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
