How To TraceYour Own "Roots"

Tracing your own roots is a fascinating and fun thingto do. The best place to begin is with you and your familymembers as far back as you can, by talking with thosewho are still alive, perhaps taping this, and then goingthrough any documents, scrapbooks, photo albums,diaries, deeds, etc., you can hunt up. After that, yourstate's genealogical society may be helpful. TheNational Genealogical Society, 1921 Sunderland Place,N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036, can help locate yourstate society, and they will also send you, on request,(include business-sized stamped envelope) a freepamphlet, "Suggestions for Beginners in Genealogy."

The National Archives in Washington can be useful inlocating military records, immigrant records after 1820,and federal census reports, the latter being kept inNational Archives regional offices in major cities. Writeto the National Archives and Records Service, GeneralServices Administration, Washington, D. C. 20408.

For further assistance on birth and death records,write for the pamphlet "Where to Look for Birth andDeath Records," available from the U. S. Department ofHealth, Education, & Welfare, National Center for HealthStatistics, 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 8-20, Rockville,Maryland 20852.

Happy hunting!

Excerpt from RETIREMENT ADVISORS prepared for The Board ofPensions of the United Presbyterian Church.

JANUARY 1978

Dr. K's KornerThe doctor's diagnosis shattered my ego. I had failed

the stress test and would have to go to Orlando where aspecialist would run a probe into various arteries of myheart. Ifblockage was found the only recourse would beopen heart surgery ... or a massive coronary attack.

This couldn't happen to me. Most of my life has beendevoted to promoting good mental and physical health.Exercise has been as much of my life style as eating. I'dsort of posed as an example of the good life. But men farwiser than I and equipped with the latest scientifictechnology were telling me there really was no optionleft open, it was surgery or else ...

The whole episode came silently and without warning... like a summer storm which begins as a small cloudand suddenly obliterates the sun with towering blackthunderheads. At first there was just a tiring pain in mychest ... or maybe in my tummy. It started as I was justbeginning my column for the November Penn Notes.

Finally, when the essay was completed I shared aglass of ice tea with Mary. All the while I was debatingwith myself over whether or not I should say anythingabout the pain or suppress it and go to work. Thearguments for going to work were persuasive: theP.A.G. was coming up, so was the community-wideprogram conference and the semi-annual luncheon forold and new cabinet members. The Hospital Board wasto have several important meetings and the CommunityAdvisory Committee was to meet within the week. Mydilemma: to speak up or keep quiet.

One never knows how effective our educationalprograms are until a crisis occurs. Almost from the verybeginning our Health Education Committee has workedcooperatively with the Central Florida Heart Associationin bringing instruction about the care of our hearts toHawthorne residents. Some of the lessons must haveinfluenced me because the debate over to tell or go tothe office was resolved in favor of telling.

The tests were made, the surgery was done, and nowI'm in the recovery phase which will extend until March.

Throughout this entire experience I was never alone.Always the thoughts and prayers of so many Hawthornefriends were with me and my family. A large basketful ofbeautiful, thoughtful cards is testimony to so manyexpressions of best wishes. There is an equally largebasket of similar wishes which were expressed in otherways - the healing balm of the Hawthorne spirit waseverywhere apparent. Thanks to everyone of you.

Thanks, too, to Jean Francis, Mr. Henley, the cabinetand the P .A. G., and to all activity leaders for carrying onin the Hawthorne tradition.

I never thought it could happen to me. I join a crowd ofdistinguished residents who also have had their heartslaid bare, repaired and replaced. Out of all of this is thelesson the Heart Association end lessly repeats: go for anexamination, tomorrow may be too late.

The

Star

Scene

Florida skies are beautiful with clear skies on manywinter nights which make star gazing fascinating. Theearth is part of the galaxy which has billions of stars andcloud-like nebula. The ancients named this collection ofstars a galaxy which means "milk" in Greek. Miltonreferred to the heavens as:

"The Galaxy, that Milky WayPowdered with stars."

It takes imagination to find the constellations becausethey are just pictures that the ancients pretended to seein the heavens in order to locate the stars more readily.

The winter stars center around Orion, the GreatHunter who, according to myth, boasted that no huntercould overcome him. He is in a direct line below Polaris,the North Star, and seems to be standing with his shieldin front of him, his sword raised to fight Taurus the Bullwho is charging toward him. The bright star, Betelgeuseis in Orion's shoulder.

When Orion was changed into a constellation his twohunting dogs, Canus Major and Canus Minor were putnear him in the sky to keep him company. Sirius, themost brilliant star in the sky (the Dog Star) is in CanusMajor.

The three big stars in Orion's belt point to Taurus whohas the Pie ides on his shoulder (also called the SevenSisters). They were supposed to be the daughters ofAtlas who held up the world on his shoulders.

These stars can be seen during January often with thenaked eye or with the help of a telescope, and a littleimagination. As Don Marquis said, "No doubt thecherubs are up in the sky earning their way winding eachticking star for us here on earth to see."

Friend EstelleOnce upon a Tuesday, Estelle and I started out for

Winter Park to pick up our paintings that had beenhanging there in The Pen Women's Annual Exhibit. Aswe drove along chatting happily, as is our custom, themiles sped by and suddenly we ... Oh, no, I can't tellyou! Estelle and I agreed that what happened on thatTuesday should be our very special secret. And wenever divulge secrets, Estelle and I. So I'll just have tochange the subject.

Recently I asked a friend, "You know EstelleHalloran, don't you?" "I think so," she replied. "Isn't shethat woman with the cute little smile (the corners of hermouth do turn up in a most captivating way) who wearsthe funny zany hats as she goes tryking aroundHawthorne?" Yes, that's Estelle, so brimful oforiginality and creative impulse that it even pops out inthose amusing hats. They are one of Estelle'strademarks. She says so, herself.

But my friend Estelle, has dozens of othertrademarks, the things by which she has become sowell known and admired. So many of us have beenthrilled at the beauty of her sculpture-painting. Suchcreations are a very special trademark of hers. No otherartist whom I know approaches it either in idea orexecution. Then there is the trademark she establishedfor herself by the Christmas window in our Great Hall.That handsome decoration stirred the Christmas spiritin many a Hawthorne heart during recent years. Wehave missed itduring this holiday season but we know itwould have been there had Estelle been able to do all

the hard work needed to reconstruct it again.There are other Estelle Halloran trademarks, too. To

some people, a foremost trademark is her waxsculpturing. Others think first of her imaginativepaintings or her fascinating icons. However, to me,Estelle is much more than any of her trademarks! Idelight in the hours of fun we have, sharing opinionsabout people or places, about ideas or things. And itsremembering such times as when I showed her thegold-patterned Arab dress my daughter sent me fromAbu Dhabi. I puzzled over the strange proportions,wondering what in the world I could do with it. Estellepondered it a moment, then brightened, "I think I can ...well let me try ... " She took the dress away, andingeniously snipping, sewing, redesigning, she createda distinctive party frock I really cherish. Estelle is socreative and ever ready to share her talents.

On that happy morning, years ago, when she firstopened her twinkly blue eyes on the world, there musthave been a fairy godmother hovering nearby whospilled generously a variety of gifts on the tiny infant,and then endowed her with a great sense of gratitudethat makes her share those gifts so unselfishly.

They named her "Estelle," which of course means"star." Did they have any fore-knowledge of what abright and shining star she would become! Estellelights up and enriches each life her love and friendshiptouches. This is really so ...

Tennis Anyone?Tennis is said to be a young man's game. Then how do

you define "young?" Age is relative. We all know peoplewho are old at 40; to balance matters we meet both menand women who are in their seventies and are young.Today one is aware that our society is in a state ofchange. Not only is the family in the process of change,but so are the other institutions in our society. Thatincludes government, education and religion. Inkeeping with these changes tennis also has taken on anew outlook.

Today, allover the country, the popularity of tennis isobvious. There are tennis clubs north and south whichare active all year round. Witness, too, the rapiddevelopment of professional tenn is with its tou rnamentsfor men, women, and even senior players.

Here at Hawthorne there are at least 10 to 15 activeplayers. Many others have approached the writerindicating past interest and a desire to become involvedagain. Want proof? Go to the four Leesburg all-weathercourts any morning from 8 to 11:30 and you will see menand women in action. Don't be surprised at the speedyexchanges even though the average age of theseyoungsters is about 70.

Do you want to play tennis? If so, call me at 787-9344or put a note under my clip at 522 Palo Verde Dr. There isan old Chinese saying that if you play tennis for80 yearsyou'll live that long.

Conservation - OrRe-cyclingOr, If I Cannot Do Great Things, I Will Do SmallThings In A Great Way

The original concept of this story was simply a fewbrief statements concerning re-cycling of paper,aluminum and the like. We keep learning, however, thatin our world, increasingly, few things are simple or brief.Maybe some of us at Hawthorne will succeed in re-cycling some of our abundant brain-power throughSCORE. How's that for an example of slmplicity?

It was C. F. Kettering who said, "The world hateschange; yet it is the only thing that has broughtprogress." Let us at Hawthorne personally change asmuch as possible to aid in world progress. First, wemight think of the once overly-abundant naturalresources we inherited. Some, who have been hereawhile, recall that our AARP Chapter had a trailer parkednear the gate house a couple of years ago to serve as acollection depot for used paper. The project flopped,because WE weren't interested. Now, a few concernedresidents make door-to-door pick ups, early in the week.Paper can be re-cycled, and save some of our trees,which is much better than incineration of waste paper orburying in a land fill. So, Put your used paper on or nearyour driveway early Monday. Conserve a naturalresource and aid a worthy cause.

Aluminum is easily re-cycled. AARP Chapter 1775 hasa collection depot just across Hallendale Road from theend of Parkway Street. Anyclean aluminum can be used,such as beverage cans, frozen food containers and thelike. Of course, if you prefer not to take the "throw-aways" to the AARP, you can make it easier for ourrubbish collectors by separating the aluminum from therest of the rubbish for re-cycling. They, too, collectaluminum for this purpose. Glass also can be re-cycled,but we have no local collection facilities, and the legalstatus of the throw-away container is still in limbo.

How about some other thought-provoking resources,like the human body? Have you thought recently aboutour Hawthorne Blood Bank, the Lion's Club Eye Bank, akidney donation, or other vital organs when they are ofno more use to you? Just see how far we could go indiscussing resources or re-cycling. We just have tomention Milwaukee, though, when the sewage is re-cycled, and millions of dollars made on Milorganitefertilizer. And why can't our "brain-trust" figure out amethod of re-cycling that electric power?

-George McDermid

Creativity is so delicate atlower that praise tends tomake it bloom, while discouragement often nips it in thebud. Any of us will put out more and better ideas if ourefforts are appreciated.

****Consider carefully before you say a hard word to p

man, but never let a chance to say a good one go by.Praise judiciously bestowed is like money invested.

Jupiter LighthouseA Link to Historic Past

Jupiter Light is an historic landmark located at JupiterInlet and the Intracoastal Waterway on Florida'sSoutheast Coast. It is the oldest standing structure inPalm Beach County and overlooks the sea, the coastalarea and the landward side. It serves today, as it has forthe past century, as a beacon and guiding light for shipsat sea plying the coastal waters.

In the past it served as an observation post for thebenefit of blockade runners during the War between theStates; as a watch tower for the United States' CoastGuard on the lookout for enemy submarines duringWorld War II; and it still guides passing ships with itsgreat beaming light and thundering foghorn.

It is thoroughly modernized today with its light andfoghorn coupled to an electronic system which enablesguardsmen on duty to activate these by remote control.It is a subject of continuing interest to artists andphotographers.

The 100-foot tower was used as an observation postduring the War between the States serving to guideblockage runners to shore or to warn them if Federalcruisers were in the vicinity. Sea watchers scanned theocean with powerful telescopes, and when they deemedthe waters clear of Federal gunboats, a secret signal wasflashed to the Bahamian coasters giving the "all clear':

The lighthouse's usefulness to blockade runners wasknown by Union officialsfortheyconsidered ita militaryobjective. At one time a sortie had been made against thelight by forces associated with the Union effort. The lightitself was destroyed, but the alert lighthouse keeper,Capt. James Armour, had sufficient time to dismantlethe French-made lenses and hide them in Lake WorthCreek. He recovered the lenses again on June 6, 1866.

In World War II the U. S. Coast Guard manned thelighthouse around the clock on the watch for enemysubmarines which plagued coastal shipping. It was fromthis lighthouse that the first burning ships, torpedoed byGerman U-Boats, were Sighted. Five ships are recordedas having been torpedoed within visual range of thelighthouse.

The lighthouse site has an interest for archeologists aswell. Excavations nearby have disclosed that once alarge village of the savage tribe of Tequestas Indians waslocated there. Indian artifacts have been unearthed hereand diggings have yielded huge skeletons which seemto indicate the Tequestas were huge men. Stoneimplements, arrow heads, shards of crockery, believedto be of Tequesta origin have also been found here.

The old lighthouse stands as a sentinel of the sea stillserving as an important beacon for ships and boatssailing the edge of the Gulfstream. It is a monument anda landmark dominating the Palm Beach County coast;an eye-catching edifice which serves as a nostalgic linkto the historic past.

-Joe Feol

In late October of 1974 I flew from Manila to Bangkokto avoid a scheduled stop in Saigon, and also to have abrief respite from a three months freighter cruise on theAmerican President Lines' ship President Filmore. I didthe usual sight-seeing, the Grand Palace, EmeraldBuddha, Floating Market, Temple of Dawn, Thai Dinner-Theater where I left my shoes outside, at the entrace. Irode those villianous little motor-cycle taxis that seattwo, or three by crowding, iNhere one must brace one'sfeet and "hang on" as they tear through traffic. There areno meters, so you bargain with the driver before climb-ing aboard.

As I do in all foreign cities, I walked MILES! With a mapof the city in one hand so I would not get lost, I pokedinto side streets, hole-in-the-wall shops, residentialareas, and especially parks, absorbing atmosphere onthese excursions off the beaten path.

In Bangkok one of my favorite spots is the MarbleTemple on Sri Ayudhya Road on the left beyond theRoyal Turf Club and Chitladya Palace. The temple, builtin 1899 of white Italian marble, houses a famouscollection of Buddhas and is an exceptionally fineexample of Thai architecture. A stream on the groundswas Simply teeming with large turtles. Oriental archedbridges spanned by. There were benches under treeswhereone could rest, feed the pigeons, orobserve othertravelers, while enjoying the peace and quiet of thisBuddhist Monastery. I had pleasant talks with several ofthe saffron-robed monks, and returned to my hotel latein the afternoon with a refreshing feeling of tranquility.

Well-pleased with my week ashore, I flew to Kuala-Lumpur and on to Singapore to rejoin my ship.

Ah, Singapore! The beautiful harbor, the shops, parks,orchids, and the sampans along the river, some of themhauling commercial products, but many of themhousing whole families; exotic (or should I say erotic?)carvings on temples making one feel almost guilty forlooking, the outlandish, but sometimes beautifulmythological displays in the Tiger Balm Gardens. It is afacinating city to prowl. In the Chinese section I found ashop with well made and amusing paper cut-outs. I hadto take the clerk outside to show him what I wanted in thewindow, and then it was up three flights of stairs to thefourth floor to buy them. As I stopped to look about onintervening floors, however, it wasan interesting climb.

My room on the seventh floor of the Penninsula Hotelfaced the park and the harborbeyond. I tried to count theships anchored off shore, but gave up when I reachedover 50 and could not remember which I had counted.Returning to the Filmore when it docked, I had two moredays before we sailed on to Hong Kong and Japan. Butthat's another story.

ARTS & CRAFTS SHOWBeautiful jewelry crafted by Hawthorne's lapidary

artisans was among the many displays at the recent Artsand Crafts Show and Sale. Here Alton Rouse demonstratesthe rock polishing machine.

Bingo's The GameIt's a heckuva game, this Bingo,That we play every Wednesday night;Where we don't have to roll the dice,Or hope the roulette wheel spins right.

Where the odds are in our favor,And there are no tote machines;And the house doesn't take a cut,And what we win goes into our jeans.

And the tiny investment matters not,So if we lose we don't give a hoot;But it's exciting to holler "Bingo,"While the rest of 'em holler "Shoot!"

Where numbers do make the difference,And picking them tells the tale;Where "congeniality" always reigns,With never a whine or a wail(?).

So, let me grab my lucky cards,That I may have a crack at the loot;And let me holier "B-I-N-G-O!"While the rest of them holler "Shoot!"
