FLORIDA VACATION Walt and Doris Low returned from the sunny south and they both look a little darker in color., The weather was so mud) nicer this year. Fish weren't biting too much but Walt and Bob sure tried. The Lows met Rob and Gayle Lauren of McHenry, who sneaked out a week earlier than the Lows.

The Lows and Laursens met Dorothy and Glenn Benoy from Alden and they spent 10 days together in Ft. Meyers area, Miami and Lake Okeechobee. That's where they caught the most fish. Then on home to all this snow. The Lows and Benoys visited with Bob and Jean Decker while in the Ft. Meyers area. They were former residents of Wonder Lake.

I Light One Candle I fos#er Se°' I 3 1 Benefit In Father John Catoir, Director of the Christophers Laughter: One Of God's Great Gifts Laughter is not just a pleasure, says Charles Schulz, creator of "Peanuts." It's a necessity. "It has long been my belief," writes the car­ toonist, "that one of the things which has enabled man to survive is the ability to laugh. No matter how difficult the situation may be, man somehow has always been able to find humor in it. "If I were given the op­ portunity to present a gift to the next generation, it would be the ability for each in­ dividual to learn to laugh at himself...I think it is one of God's greatest blessings." We fail at laughter when we take ourselves too seriously. Instead of seeing how tiny we are in the scheme of life, we become pensive, what "I" think is all that counts; what "I" do or want is all that matters. But the world runs according to God's order - not ours. There are billions of stars in our galaxy and billions of galaxies bevond our own. and yet by the wonderful gift of faith we know that God cares about each one of us personally. To lose sight of that is to narrow our chances for happiness. "A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones." (Prov. 17:22) A famous American ac­ tress and humanitarian proved to herself and to millions of others just how therapeutic laughter can be. Rosalind Russell was an inspiration to all who knew her. She was a friend of the Christophers. Her warmth and wit touched millions of movie-goers for over 40 years. "Laughter is like air and water to me," she once said. During the last 16 years of her life she suffered the ravages of rheumatoid , arthritis, but "Roz" kept that cheerful spirit alive. In spite of the agony in which she lived, she offered Crash course! Some people learn a lot about their insurance after they've had an ac­ cident. At American Family, we like to make things clear before you have trouble. What's more, we may save you money! So don't wait for a crash course. Give me a call! We're driving down the cost of insurance. TONY CHUCK FICK IEWANDOWSKI 385-2304 £S£j|§. AfWhrtcan Fwwly MutuM tnauranraCo. M«dteon, Wis 1308 N. PARK, McHfNRY public and private en­ couragement to 20 million fellow sufferers of her c r i p p l i n g d i s e a s e . "Whatever comes to me," she said, "I will be able to accept it. Faith in God and ourselves gives up peace and the assurance we will overcome." How wise she was. When Rosalind Russell died, actor Jimmy Stewart spoke at her funeral. He expressed the feelings of many when he said, "God at this very moment is probably having the daylights charmed out of Him...Thank You, God, for giving her to us. Take care of her...we sent You our best this time." Rosalind knew how to laugh at life even in the midst of pain. Her joyful heart endeared her to people. Laughter does such things.
