Hanners Gad About Busch Gardens Amusement Park SECTION 2 - PAGE 7 • PLAINDEALER-WEDNFSDAY. DECEMBER 1, IC7« Lakemoor-Lilymoor Alma Hueckstaedt 385-5689 Discussing Strategy A Democrat and a Republican were discussing their election strategy. "I'm always promoting the party," said the Democrat. "For example, when I take a cab, I give the driver a large tip and say, 'Vote Democratic.' " "I've got a similar approach," noted the Republican. "When­ ever I take a taxi, I don't give the driver any tip at all. When I get out of the cab, I say, 'Don't forget to vote Democratic.' " ( b y F a t h e r W i l l i a m O . Hanner, rector emeritus of Holy Comforter church, Episcopal, Kenilworth. Father Hanner was a frequent con­ tributor to the news columns of the Plaindealer while a resident of Whispering Oaks. He and Mrs. Hanner now make their home in Florida). Our McHenry friends could tell you the Hanners are no ones to stay home. Moving to St. Petersburg (called St. Pete's by the natives) has not slowed us down on% whit. The Anheuser-Busch Brewing Company has several fine amusement parks in half a dozen different places about the country. One of these is located in Tampa, Fl., about thirty-five miles from us. Each of these parks has a central theme about which it is built. The Tampa place is known as Busch Gardens and is built about the theme, Africa, the Dark Continent. The park is huge and is in four main sections. The Serengeti Plain is full of animals after the manner of the African Veldt. There are fifteen giraffes, over fifty Zebras, elephants, impala, wildebeests, hippos and many more; a treetop house like the one in which Princess Elizabeth was staying the night her father died. In her sleep she became Queen Elizabeth II of England. A Sky Ride and a Monorail run through this veldt or Park of the Plains. Off in one corner just out of the park is a Swiss Chalet restaurant where you can have a quick lunch in their 'Chalet Room' or a bigger meal in the Veldt Room which has huge windows through which the whole veldt and its animals is open to you. While we waited to enter some good souls from the Middle West, tourists, were behind us, said she to him, "Lucerne and Veldt! Those are two towns in Switzerland dear!" We rode the monorail once and the sky ride twice looking at the animals of the African veldt. It was fascinating. The herds were large. A lion's section is being built off by itself for plainly you cannot put the lions in with the rest of the animals for the free roving animals are their normal prey. Stanleyville ("Dr. Livingston I presume.") is the amusement park where you can ride the flume, the Python where you are twice upside down held in your seats by straps and centrifugal force, or take one of half a dozen other amusement park rides. Over in the Nairobi section children can pet tame animals, board the railroad which takes you around the circumference of the park and has three stations at which you may embark or alight. There is a wild bird section where we saw over a hundred different varieties of cockatoos, some perfectly beautifully colored, some pure white. All the animals in the park looked to be in high good health. Busch garden was an example to any park I've ever seen in cleanliness of facilities and politeness of the employees. It is every bit as good as Disney World and not nearly so ex­ pensive. I wrote an article on Disney World three years ago Crabs Grow Crabs grow by shedding their hard shells about 15 times during their lifetime. When the crab shucks off its old shell, it im­ mediately inflates itself. Thus, a crab 3Vi inches across may in minutes become \xk inches wide. It then buries itself in the mud, sometimes behind its empty shell for protection, and doesn't emerge to eat until a new shell has grown two or three days later.

McHenry HILLQQLFU (Plaindealer Feb. 9, 1973) One $6 ticket at Busch gardens entitled you to all rides and shows. Special price to senior citizens $5 this month. Beside the sections of the gardens I have mentioned there is the Marrakesh area. It is devoted to shops, theatres, street shows, places to get a snack, a bakery and a theatre that features oriental dances of the East. This is a polite way of^ telling the customer5~~that every hour and a half there is a belly dance given in the theater by local experts for free. The production lasts about ten m i n u t e s a n d f e a t u r e s f o u r artists who are accomplished in their renditions. They are on the street and are difficult to miss. We witnessed one production given with verve and eclat. One gentleman got quite caught up in this specialty number so that the ice cream conche was eating got liberally smeared about his shirt. I overheard his wife saying to her sister: "Look at Wally. She got him so excited he spilled his ice cream all over his shirt!" We have high school girls and college students waiting on our dining room here at Suncoast Manor. The other day one of the residents sat at breakfast. When his waitress came to him he said, "Let's see, what do I want for breakfast?" To which the waitress replied, "I don't know sir; it's your breakfast you know." It is a happy life. I take services at St. Peter's Cathedral each week and help out with the Sunday services of whiirh^Abere are six each Sunday. Last Sunday they used four choirs and over 100 voices. Their anthems were perfectly magnificent. The downtown churchesof St. Pete's are large and full feac-h Sunday. They vie with eacfr other in the high quality of their music. There are few places in the South where the chruches are not full on Sunday. They still believe in God down here. Praise the Lord! Bazaar-Bake Sale Welcomes The Law Serves You Young Families Also Need Wills For young families just starting out in life, a will may be among the last things considered. But, says the Illinois State Bar association, it frequently is even more crucial for a young family to draw a will than an older more established one, regardless of the value of the property in­ volved. This is true because the most critical element in the will of a young father or mother could be the provision stating who should have custody of their minor children in the event that both husband and wife should die. In cases like this, bitter arguments sometimes ensue between maternal and paternal grandparents over the custody of grandchildren. While the grandparents or other mem­ bers of the family mean well, both sides quite naturally feels they would be most capable of caring for the children. A will which establishes a guardian for the minor children, in the event of the death of both parents will eliminate family squabbling. Through their wills a couple may also outline how the finances of the children should be handled. Insurance policies can frequently make the children of even young families financially well off. A will can provide for proper disposition of all property, including in­ surance proceeds and establish trusts which will protect these assets during each child's minority, or even longer, if desired. While one person might best provide instruction and guidance, another might be the better equipped to handle the youngster's money. Therefore, naming one person guardian of the person and other as guardian of the estate of a child is not uncommon. Establishing orderly procedures for managing the estate and providing a "parental" guardian for children can eliminate at least one heartache during a painful period and can make .a will important for even the newest family.

PLANT DESTROYED Sunday night and Monday morning, Nov. 21 and 22 will be remembered by a large number of people who were affected by the fire thaK destroyed the building and contents of Lakemoor Press and the storage area and materials belonging to Travenol Laboratories. Those affected were the employees. Some saw the blaze that required several fire depart­ ment companies help and other employees didn't know anything about it until they reported for work Monday morning, also the owners of the building and the companies that operated from it. To date I have not heard what the cause of the fire could have been. Only one blessing arises out of the ashes, and that is when it was reported that there were no injuries or loss of life due to the fire. IN CLOSING Here's hoping each and everyone of you had a very nice Thanksgiving day and were able to sit down and eat at a heavily laden table.
