Marj and Ray got in a last fishing trip, staying at a resort on Lac View desert. Apparently, winter is coming early to the north woods. There were reports of snow flurries, and all the leaves have already fallen. Jack Frost's cold breath touched us last week, too. Temperatures dropped to freezing and the area was covered with frost. Guess winter is just around the cor­ ner. CAMPING TRIP Bill and Mable Zawislak took a week off to go camping before the snow flies. They headed south, looking for warmer weather planning to go through Indiana and Kentucky as well as the southern states. Hope they found it warmer than it was back here. OPERATION UPDATE Sunday, Oct. 9, you may have noticed an unusual number of emergency calls in the McHenry area. Actually, this was Operation Update, a test of the McHenry county ESDA systems. Ray Hirsch, head of the Sunnyside-Johnsburg area ESDA (formerly. Civil Defense), was stationed at McHenry hospital during the operation. Only chiefs of various departments were notified of details in advance of the test. Fire departments, police, rescue squads, and the ESDA were put to the test in emergency disaster situations. The efficiency and accuracy with which all departments performed is a credit to every Ipan and woman involved in this service. • We can feel secure in knowing that McHenry county has well-trained, efficient personnel in all departments. POLICE NOTES Members of the Sunnyside Police department are now taking advanced courses in first aid and CPR training, a requirement for the depart- jti.. went. Patrolman Rick Kramer already a qualified ;?>|Nu>amedic and a great help to another members of the force during this training period. v.w -Just a reminder that Sunday, Oct. 23, is bike registration day, held by the Sunnyside Police department.

Each order for the bumper strip will be filled promptly via first class mail. Included with the order will be a four- page analysis of the proposed sellout indicating why the President's "success" in this attempt might very well result in his impeachment. The timely message on this strip could be considered as a stern admonition, but then again, it could be received as good advice.

Hanner, Episcopal vicar, retired. Father Hanner resided in McHenry for several years before moving to Florida last year.) On our way to Georgia we took a side trip to Highlands, N.C., which is in the moun­ tainous western part of the State. It is a community much like Lake Forest and Winnetka and is a summer "rest spot" for wealthy folk from Miami to Atlanta. The rector of the local parish was one of my seminary assistants at one time. We had a fine time digging over the past. His wife runs two shops which must make their money in the summer because Highlands is jammed full only in July and August; its population is about 2,000 but it has three of the most magnificent golf courses you'll find anywhere. The little parish church (white clapboard on a down­ town corner) has the original fixtures used in country churches with oil lamps. This rector dug his church's 'old ones' from a junk heap and electrified them. They are beautiful and reminiscent of the early 1900 country church. Only wild field flowers decorate his altar. In the winter he uses dry bouquets and pine arrangements. He attracts a congregation of doers and thinkers. This small parish is a lighthouse for spiritual things in a wealthy community. It is a strange thing but people of wealth have spiritual hungers, sicknesses, death and mixed up teenagers as well as saints and holy folks iust like anywhere else. After a night with Father and Mrs. Hovey in their delightful home we took to the road in a pouring rain and fought our way to Callaway gardens and the woodland hotel we described for you two years ago. The hotel had changed hands. Our room was $30, our dinner, two hamburgers with trim­ mings for $11.50. These prices got us out of there before breakfast next morning. The place had changed hands and far less for your money was the rule of the new management. We were soon on our way and wound up at Perry, Ga., down in Jimmy Carter country. I know a little hotel there where we had a beautiful room with twq double beds, a parlored annex with sofa and easy chairs for two-thirds of the last night's price and excellent meals at a price anyone could afford. There was also lots to do. Here we holed up for four days-loafing about the town and countryside thoroughly enjoying the weather, the town, district side trips, stores and general tone of the place. There are many hick places in Georgia, as in any state but there is mighty high class there too. Twelve miles from Perry to the west lie the Massee Lane Camellia gardens, national headquarters for that flower. The garden is from eight to ten acres, the buildings are brick and colonial. A separate building of the same ar­ chitecture houses a collection of Boehm porcelain birds, widely known and frequently used by President Eisenhower as gifts to heads of foreign states. A few flowers are forced all the time so you can always see examples of camellia in bloom. East of Perry lie the great Pabst breweries. When we were in McHenry I often planned to go through Schlitz, Pabst or some other Milwaukee brewery just because I wanted to see how they work. This brewery produces 4,500,000 barrels annually. That is a lot of beer. The multi-million dollar plant is so highly automated that it is operated by very few workers. The buildings cover 17 acres of a 700 acre site. The tour takes about' an hour. About 20 miles southwest of town is a huge National cemetery where burials take place today. But it is also the original site of Andersonville prison where the Confederate forces put captured prisoners of war, for the most part, in 1864. It is not pleasant to con­ template this huge outdoor prison. The sites and details of the place can easily be seen and understood. The care of prisoners of wai» seems never to have occurred to either side FORMAL WEAR RENTALS for ALL OCCASIONS 1 " "M 1214 N.

The outline of the stockade, the little creek that furnished water can still be seen and illustrated lectures help to tell the stories, of wells dug and escape tunnels planned. Of the thousands there are only about 250 who ever made it back to Northern lines by escape. And then we went over to Plains. We saw the President's former church. It was large, clean and white. The whole town is neat and well kept. There are fine old homes. "Hie' town has been downgraded. Plains is peaches, pecans, peanuts and people. It was better than I thought it would be, this town of a president. So there is lots to see and do most anywhere. I didn't even try to tell about the new downtown in Perry and its obvious good points. It has over 1,000 motel rooms about the countryside for Et. 75 is close by. GIFTED PROGRAMS Exceptional and talented students at McHenry high are presently being screened for the state-funded "gifted" program offered in District 156. Under the direction of Mrs. Mary Watrous, as many as thirty-five students have thus far been recommended by their teachers. These students have been identified for their in­ tellectual, academic, and leadership abilities. After the initial screening, enrollment in the program will be limited to nine students. The basic intent of this program is to "take the lid off the conventional curriculum" for gifted students. Besides the work in their present classes, individual 'learning programs will be developed for these students. Each student will also participate in a community service for a minimum of two weeks each semester. This experience will be determined by student interest and con­ cerns. Working with the city- planning commission, time analysis studies for a local industry, developing and initiating a marketing and distribution survey are all examples of possible com­ munity service work. Students will be expected to keep logs, journals and make reports to the community agencies in­ volved in their program. In addition, students in the gifted program will be trained in the principles and techniques of peer-group counseling. Benefits Of The Program The benefits of this program are numerous. The young talented students who will be selected for the program will have opportunities beyond their regular classroom offerings. Students may be placed in accelerated courses in a higher educational institution within the geographical vicinity of McHenry high school, if such a move is felt to be appropriate by the teaching staff. Hopefully, these programs will be designed to accommodate the student's accelerated achievement level. It is felt that this training will be invaluable to these students as future adult members of our society. Operation Dial The first toll-free assistance phone line in the nation devoted totally to handling problems of the handicapped recently went into service in Illinois. James S. Jeffers, director of the Illinois Division of Vocational9 Rehabilitation, participated in the opening of the ° new "hotline". He explained that the number, 312-793-5000, can be called collect from any point in Illinois and will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m..each Monday through Friday except on state holidays.
