SERVICES SECTION 2: PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. AUGU8T N, 1977 Guide To Travel! <By Gojan Nikolich) There's a little bit of Sweden. France and just plain Europe found in Illinois that is suited for the traveler who wants to stroll, dawdle and walk the weekend away. Geared for the habitual browser and anti-automobile bunch, small-town walking tours take you through drowsy hamlets, over worn cob­ blestones and past buildings that were already old when Abraham Lincoln was young. With no schedules and few established routes, these frolicks for the feet let you wander and ferret at will. All you really have to do is find a sleepy town. And here are just a few: Klsah--Nudged up against a bank of the Mississippi river near where it wriggles east above Alton in southern Illinois, Elsah seems as if it were transplanted from a rural province of Europe. And at last count Elsah was bursting with 928 residents. Vine-gripped cottages, gothic homes, gardens pressed neatly behind wicket fences and bridges that are often decorated with potted flowers make it seem as if the tiny town were laid out with the foot tour buff in mind. Begin your stroll at Mississippi and La Salle streets. The wooden building on your right in the vintage 1847 Rivervjew house, first built as a cabin and then converted into a hotel. The Block-Belot house on Elm and La Salle was mortared in 1856 and is an example of Elsah's thirty homes which were built before the Civil War. Past Fountain Square park there's the Mott-Condit house with its circular porch and F r a n c o - A m e r i c a n a r ­ chitecture. Elsah has eight side streets and provides enough sites for a day-long walk. For overnight lodging try nearby Pere Marquette State park or hotels in the Alton area. Elsah is located off Route 100 in Jersey county along a portion of the Great River road. Bishop Hill-Founded in 1846 by Swedish utopists who arrived in western Illinois under the leadership of "prophet" Erik Janssen, Bishop Hill was once one of America's most successful communal colonies. After spending their first brutal prairie winter in primitive dug­ outs gouged into a hillside, Bishop Hill settlers built their town into a 14,000 acre farming enterprise. Today the hamlet features restored buildings, cobblestone walks that encircle a groomed I parkway and a yearly selection of local craft and old time farming festivals. "Jord- bruksdagarna," a harvest season' celebration which highlights frontier en­ tertainment and craft demonstrations, is slated for Oct. 1-2 Visitors to the event can take part in everything from corn picking to foot stomping dance programs performed by Scandinavian troupes. Begin your walking tour at < the Old Colony church located near the north end of the village. Built in 1848, the white frame structure served as a communal religious center, merchants ,headquarters and apartment complex. Original walnut pews and hand crafted light fixtures are a few of the untouched relics left behind by Bishop Hill's original colonists. The prairie primitivist paintings of Olof Krans are displayed in a hallway of the church and depict early lifestyles of Bishop Hill's settlers. Walking clockwise, the visitor should stroll northwest of the church to the Dairymaid building. From there it's an easy tour past an old blacksmith shop, carpenter shop and the Steeple building, which has been converted into a museum. The Old Colony store and several private residences stand across from a central parkway lined with huge trees. An old time gazebo and picnic tables make this a good spot for a picnic. The Old Colony is still used by local residents for special events. Bishop Hill is located near Kewanee and north of Route 34. Nauvoo-The name meant "beautiful place" to the early Mormon settlers who arrived here over a century ago. Once a home to Brigham Young, Joseph Smith and Jonathon Browning, Nauvoo was also the largest city in Illinois during the 1840's. Though Nauvoo's restored homes are situated apart from one another rather than in a neat and convenient row, they are all located near a sudden bend in the Mississippi east of Route 96. Begin your walk at either the Joseph Smith Homestead on Water street or at the Visitors' center further north. Both buildings provide free tour information. Admission to all buildings is free. Typical sights at this famous town can be sampled at the Brigham Yomig' home, the Jonathon Browning workshop and cabin and at Joseph Smith's Mansion house. Young's home features many original furnishings as well as the room and table where the Mormons planned their well known trek west to the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The Browning home includes an extensive and priceless collection of the gunsmith's famous pistols and rifles. T w e n t y - f i v e M o r r t i o n buildings are open to the public. And if you don't feel like strolling, the Nauvoo Chamber of Commerce on Main street provides rented tape recorders which you can take with you on a local driving tour. Tapes give directions and the history of the early settlement. / < ^ Nauvoo State park allows camping. Jf / Although known for its Mormon heritage, Nauvoo was a l s o h o m e t o F r e n c h i m ­ migrants who came here oh the he£ls Brigham Young's 1846 exodus to Utah. That portion of the town's history will be celebrated this year on Sept. 2-4 during the annual "Grape Festival." The major attraction of the fest is a French rite known as the "Wedding of Wine and Cheese" which heralds the town's flourishing wine and blectcheese industry. Nauvoo is located west of Macomb off Route 96. Coining Events Rodeos in Illinois? Palestine's annual horse and steer jamboree in Crawford county expects to draw thousands Sept. 3, 4, and 5 as it gears up for professional cowboy events. Clowns, en­ tertainment, team roping barrel races, "fiesta shows," carnivals,, western horse shows, parades, chuck wagon breakfasts and free country western music are a few of the slated items. Wear your boots, for in­ formation and reservations, write Rodeo Headquarters, 224 S. Main St., Palestine, III., 62451. Accept Holiday Hills For Flood Insurance The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has announced that the Village of Holiday Hills has been accepted into the National Flood Insurance program. This means, said acting federal insurance administrator, J. Robert Hunter, that property owners here are now eligible to buy flood insurance protection at affordable rates subsidized by the federal government. Policies are effective immediately during the first thirty days the insurance becomes available. After the first thirty days, there is a fifteen day waiting period. The policies can be purchased from any licensed property insurance agent or broker. Agents and brokers may obtain policy forms, rates, flood insurance manuals, and any other necessary information from ' this company. "Since flood insurance is now available," Hunter said, "owners of property in areas identified by HUD as being flood-prone must, according to the law, buy flood insurance when seeking any form of federal or federally-related financial assistance for the acquisition or construction of buildings in those areas." "This would include grants from federal agencies, FHA, VA and FmHA mortgage loans, loans from the Small Business a d m i n i s t r a t i o n , a n d conventional morgage loans from any federally regulated or supervised banks and savings and loan associations." While flood insurance is available to all residents of the c o m m u n i t y , H u n t e r emphasized that the federal requirements to purchase flood insurance as a condition for receipt of federally related financial assistance do not apply to property outside the danger zones. Under the program, coverage can be obtained for all buildings and their contents. The available limit of insurance for single-family homes is now $35,000, and $100,000 for other residential buildings, at the subsidized rate of 25 cents per $100 of coverage. The rate goes to 40 cents per $100 for nonresidential buildings. ~ The contents of all residential buildings can be insured up to $10,000 per unit at 35 cents per $100 of coverage, and the rate goes to 75 cents par $100 for the contents of all nonresidential structures up to a maximum of $100,000 in coverage per unit State Fair A two-hour parade and the traditional ribbon cutting ceremony marked the opening of "A Family-A-Fair", the 1977 Illinois State fair in Springfield held recently.

Even the familiar objects, like the sidewalk and the mailbox seem distorted. Sometimes the same thing can happen with another kind of view -- when we look at ourselves, trying to find meaning and perspective in our own lives. For there are moments when we are at odds with the world and the ones we love, when we don't know where to turn next. v Well -- how about turning to the Church? just go to church, even if you haven't gqne for a long time, even if you've never gone, for that matter. Sit back and relax, and let yourself and your problems swing back into focus, there within God's House. Funny thing about it ... it works.
