ENJOY TOUR OF CANADA Ua Hogan and Mary Fergen recently returned from a delightful travel tour through Canada which they shared with a group of 34 tourists. They flew to Calgary where they were bussed to Sulphur Mountain and enjoyed a breathtaking gondola ride to the top. They rode up through the clouds and then it cleared just before they reached the 7,500 ft. peak. While they were enjoying a light lunch, more clouds moved in to tem­ porarily block their view. Then it was on to Banff where they had rooms in a hotel designed like a huge castle. All along their routes the scenery was gorgeous with the dark green of the pines contrasting with the gold of the aspen trees. At Jasper Park they went to the Canadian Ice Fields where they boarded a snowmobile for a ride out onto the glacier. They spent two nights at Lake Louise where they were fortunate to have a balcony off their room with a gorgeous view of the lake. One of the highlights of their trip was a picnic lunch atop the Continental Divide. Ila said she had never seen such beautiful flowers as they seemed to have in Canada. The blossoms of the pansies and snapdragons were huge. The trip included many sightseeing trips to waterfalls and also Emerald Lake which is aptly named. A happy coincidence for Ila was that her daughter and son-in-law, Charlotte and Dick Thompson, were taking a vacation trip to Alaska at the same time and to their surprise they were all booked on the same flight. When they reached Calgary, The Thompsons continued on to Vancouver and Alaska. HERE AND THERE Art and Katy Christopher enjoyed a visit from their daughter and family of Black Creek, Wis., this last weekend. Patty Christopher was in and out to help en­ tertain the little ones, David and Sarah. Friends and neighbors of Doris Low's enjoyed a kaffee-klatsch at her home this past Monday. SEWING GROUP MEETS Sixteen ladies met in the home of Mary Butler last week, to busily work on projects for the bazaar to be held at the Ringwood church on Saturday, Nov. 15, in conjunction with the roast beef dinner. There will be embroidered tea towels, pillowcases, Christmas items and the usual candy booth. Joining the ladies that day was Dorothy Austin of San Juan, Texas, who has been back here for a visit. She at one time lived in the com­ munity referred to as German Prairie.

Stimulus For Children (Editor's note: This is another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health center staff. This article is "Stimulating Children".) Some years ago there was a tragic discovery in an orphanage in France. Several infants became seriously ill due to a lethargy Qiat caused them to ap­ parently lose interest in everything, including eating. It was only after a death of one of these babies that it was found that babies need to be held, to have some human contact, some stimulation, not only to learn but to survive. Children never lose the need for stimulation, even after it has passed the point of being necessary purely for sur­ vival. ' I have had the experience with each of my three children, between the ages of eighteen months and two years, of watching them undergo a learning jump that doubled their vocabulary in a two-week period of time. Interestingly, in all three children, the two- week period of time was during a vacation. During that time, each of the children was in a completely different environment, seeing and experiencing a constant variety of new people and scenery. While I am not suggesting that everyone take a two- week vacation with their eighteen-month-old child to give them the benefit of' stimulating their vocabulary, I am suggesting the importance of exposing , children at a very eajrfy age to a large variety of stimulatory experiences. For anyone who would doubt the value of stimulation to a child, I propose a rather simple (but time consuming) ex­ periment. Take a week off your regular schedule and devote the time completely to a young child, taking him or her to different places: a walk in the woods, a trip to the zoo, a museum, a big city, a boat ride - the possibilities are endless. At the end of the week, note the difference in the child-in vocabulary motor ability, and social skills. It is as if the child has absorbed knowledge like a sponge soaking up water. It is fun and gratifying to watch young children learn and grow. Think how rewarding it would feel if you could watch it happen literally overnight. Heading plans for 1980 homecoming at McHenry high school this weekend are Lisa Poco and Vic Poco, at left, co- chairpersons from East campus, and Mary Lou Redmond and Colleen Foley, who hold the same positions representing West campus. Homecoming was scheduled to open with the traditional bonfire Thursday evening. The Friday parade starts at the Pearl street park at 1:30 , to be followed by two football games that evening, the sophomore game at 6 p.m. and the varsity Warriors against the Cary Grove Trojans at • p.m. An alumni breakfast will be held at East campus at 9:39 Saturday morning, and a dance in the East campus gym that evening will bring festivities to a close. - STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD 90 Representatives Due For College-Career Fair On Thursday, Oct. 9, approximately 90 college, universities, and technical agencies will be on hand at McHenry County college for the seventh annual county- wide College and Career fair.
