Your editor has amassed a large

collection of photos from the Gilded

Age of New York City, 1880-1910, and

there were 2 sides to the “Gilded Age”

that weren’t so “Gilded.” There was

probably a much bigger difference

between the haves and have-nots back

then than there is today. I will show you

examples through pictures that begin

with the palatial Gilded Mansions on

New York City’s Fifth Avenue to the

Tenement Slums in huge sections of the city not seen or visited by the Power Barons.

A Happy Birthday today to the Champaign

Exchange Club. A Big Thank You to Attorney

Earl Harrington, Sporting Goods Store owner

Seeley Johnston and the others for building our

club. We’re still trying hard to carry on what you

started 92 years ago. We will celebrate our birthday

next Monday with a tasty Chocolate Birthday

Cake provided by my better half. She always

comes through and I’m sure she will this year too.

I’m looking forward to this meeting because we will be celebrating our club’s

92nd Birthday while at the same time welcoming recently installed National

Exchange Club President Scot Warren from Naperville. Nancy & I have

known Scot since he was a teenager and we considered his parents, National

President Harold Warren & Ruth Warren among our most admired people

and best friends. To this day I am grateful that Harold Warren cornered

me after a district board meeting and convinced me to run for District

Secretary and then later President. Unlike Naperville, Harold

didn’t utilize a car ride to pressure me; instead he trapped me in

Merle Dunn’s dining room & put on the pressure. Scot’s father

Harold, Bill Miller and Dr. Ed North were the best National

Exchange Presidents of the past 50 years and I won’t rank them

because Harold and Bill were good friends of mine.

As of this writing I’m not sure which weeks we will not hold a meeting if any. We usually

have a week or two during August when we don’t have a meeting and speaker due to lack

of attendance due to vacation trips. Stay tuned.

Today's Program

We had a great speaker today and he happens to

be the son-in-law of our club president – David

Gray the Family Service Advisor at the Sunset

Funeral Home on North Neil St. in Champaign.

David gave a very informative and interesting talk

of why and how to plan for your funeral or a

loved one today rather than wait until that person

passes away. It’s too late then.

David is very good at what he does and he’s won

trips to Hawaii and Alaska in the past year or two

for his success. When you meet him and hear him

talk you know why he’s successful. Below are

5 Reasons you should make preparations now for

your funeral and /or your spouse sooner rather

than later.

1. Reduce Stress for Family & Friends – Pre-

planning your final wishes will lift the burden

from your family by relieving the decision-ma-

king pressure at a time of grief & emotional stress.

2. Leave Your Legacy – By selflessly document-

ting your final wishes, you ensure that you will

always be remembered in a special way.

3. Let Your Wishes Be Known – You can be

sure that your family and friends are informed

about your final wishes, whether it is a traditional

service burial or a cremation.

4. Protect Your Money – Funeral homes have

access to many financial tools, such as irrevocable

trusts, that can help protect your money against

inflation & taxes.

4. Make financial Arrangements – Whether you

want to prepay for services or simply have your

wishes prepared for later payment establish-ing

your budget and considering your financial

arrangements is extremely important.

Today's Meeting

It was a beautiful day today as the sun was

shining brightly, the temperature was in

the low 80s, and the humidity wasn’t quite

as bad as it was last week. I put the top

down on my Mercedes in parking lot of

O’Charley’s and had a wonderful drive

home with the air blowing through my

hair. Well it would have blown through

my hair if I had any left. Anyway, it was a

beautiful day and I’ll take many more.

Committee Chair Tom Williams, Sr.

reported we only handed out 3,203 Flags

this year to kids, probably the lowest

amount ever. The forecast of extreme heat

had to have chased off a lot of families

who normally attend. And it was really

Hot! I want to thank Richard, Tillie,

Wally, Nancy & Thomas for their help

making the program a success this year. I

also want to thank everyone for their

donations which made it possible to hand

out flags. You’ll find more information

on the following pages.

Today President Adkins emphasized how

important it is to invite friends & potential

new members to our meetings and we

should by bringing a guest to our next

luncheon on July 23rd. We need an

immediate infusion of members to help

with our fundraisers and our wonderful

programs of service. We also need more

people present so we can continue to ask

busy people to come speak to our club.

Ask someone tomorrow!

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Two weeks ago I printed a list of 21 of the Longest Words in the English Language.

I left off one word at that time because I ran out of space. The missing 34-letter word

is one everyone sings but probably can’t spell correctly. The word means extraordinarily

good, wonderful.

July Board Meeting

Treasurer Nancy Williams reported June Income of $150.00 and Expenses of $120.03

leaving the Balance of $1,414.40 in the Operating Fund. We have $2,713.18 in the

Nursing Scholarship Fund and $2,858.65 in the Flag Fund.

GiveAKidAFlagToWave Program Committee Chair Tom Williams, Sr. reported this

year’s 33rd program went well as we had plenty of helpers. We only handed out 3,203

American Flags this year but that brings our total handed out over the years to 182,000

Flags. Last year we handed out 4,400 but it was hotter this year.

President Richard Adkins formed a new Fundraising Committee. The project is called “Let There be Light” and he

will be the chair. Volunteering to serve on the committee were Nancy Williams, our club treasurer, and Immediate

Past Club President Thomas Williams, Jr. As Wally said, I’m sure all of us will be involved before it’s over. The

new fundraiser will replace our major fundraiser the Bergner Community Days Fundraiser we have carried out the

past 20 years. The goal is to find two venues where we can sell used and ‘antique” lamps along with candles. One

possibility is the Farmers Market at Lincoln Square in Urbana. We’ll need to have a lamp collection drive soon.

last Wednesday with our friends in the Urbana

Exchange Club, the Cardinals need the All Star Game break to get

their act together, and it’s wonderful that 8 of the 13 soccer team

members have been rescued. Hopefully the last 5 will be rescued

tomorrow. P.S. I forgot to mention that I really enjoyed giving my

National Road, Route 40, presentation to the Urbana Exchange

Club last week.

Well, our Fourth of July GiveAKidAFlagToWave Project went off without a hitch this year with lots of help from

John Hummel and our friends in the Urbana Exchange Club and their family members. We had 6 representing

the Champaign Exchange Club and Urbana had 14 or 15 counting the 4 young kids. That’s was our best turnout

in several years as some of us old-timers couldn’t or didn’t walk the parade route this year including your editor.

The down side is we only handed out 3,200 Flags which I think is the lowest total ever. We won’t need to order as

many flags next year which will save us some money. We’ve now handed out 182,000 American Flags to Kids.

It was really hot today as the temperature reached 89 or 90 degrees and the heat index was over 100 degrees – Hot,

Hot, Hot. What made it so tough wasn’t the temperature but the humidity which was extremely high. As I was

sitting in Nancy’s air conditioned car 4 blocks from the end of the parade route I almost had a guilty conscious. I

walked the entire route last year and was really pooped so I took Wally’s advice and took the car to the end of the

route so I could pick up 4 worn out Exchangites and give them a cool ride back to their cars at the staging area.

I can’t finish without saying 88-year-old Fred Holhubner from the Urbana Club is my idol. When you get to the

end of the parade route desperate for something cold to drink and a place to sit down Fred is still going strong.

Representing our club this year were Wally Lehman, the Adkins – President Richard & Tillie, and the Williams

Family – Nancy, Thomas, and Tom. We had so many volunteers this year that John Hummel suggested we take

separate photos of the Champaign Volunteers and the Urbana Volunteers. Sometimes it’s like wrestling a

greased pig trying to get everyone together for the group photos. The two group photos are on the next page.

Below John Hummel’s heading North on First just before turning East on Kirby Ave. headed towards Urbana as

son John, Jr. & Wally are in the back getting ready to give flags to our parade walkers to hand out to the kids. It

was really nice of John to put a Big Eagle on the roof because it sure got my attention. Bring it next year too John.

2006 - The flag crew appears to have Hummel's truck decorated

and ready to go. The photo was taken in the Urbana High School

parking lot. At that time the parade started in Urbana on Lincoln

Avenue and ended at the Assembly Hall in Champaign. Today the

route is reversed. John Hummel took this photo because your

editor & Nancy were in Estonia at the time on their way to St.

Petersburg, Russia. Can you spot Wally hanging out? Other

Champaign Exchangites in the photo are Frank Scantlebury,

Anne Johnston. Thomas Williams, Jr. is not in the photo.

July 4, 2014 – Above the Champaign & Urbana Exchangites

are ready for the parade to start. Below they came out again

for the annual Labor Day Parade.

Nancy and I were not in the above photo because our smart automobile refused to cross Wright St. into Urbana.

This is the first known photo

the Urbana Club became partners with Champaign in this wonderful GiveAKidAFlagToWave Program.

A week ago the following article about our good friend, Urbana Exchangite Fred Holhubner, appeared in The

News-Gazette. Since you may have missed the article I thought you might enjoy reading it. As I mentioned

on a previous page, I admire Fred and he’s about the most physically if not mentally toughest man I know

that’s 88 years old. He’s had quite a life and as a veteran he deserved our thanks & the recognition. Enjoy!

Those Who Served – Lessons in Chemical Warfare Monday, June 25, 2018 by Paul Wood

URBANA — To make sure his Army students knew

how to put their protective gear on properly,

Lieutenant Fredrick Holhubner had a secret weapon.

After tear gas, it was another gas released — if their

masks weren't on correctly, they'd throw up right in

them.

"It made them learn really quickly," he said.

It was Holhubner's mission to teach soldiers about

chemical, biological and nuclear warfare when he

was stationed in the United States and Germany

during the Cold War.

Now 88, he still is active in the Urbana Exchange

Club and passes out American flags in the Freedom

Celebration parade.

His early years were challenging. He grew up on a

farm in Pulaski County in Southern Illinois with

family members from Germany and Austria. (A

cuckoo clock sings out just as he was saying that.)

"There was only one Lutheran church in the county,"

he said. His family helped start it.

He lived through the Depression in a house lit by

kerosene lamps.

In 1947, Holhubner went off to college at Southern

Illinois University in Carbondale to study agriculture

while working full time at Prairie Farms Creamery.

After 3 years, he transferred to the University of

Illinois, improving on his chemistry skills, and again

working at the creamery.

He got engaged to Dolores (now passed) in June 1951,

and by August was training with the 101st Airborne.

Holhubner scored so high on his tests there that he

was sent to Officer Candidate School at Fort Riley,

Kansas.

A colonel told him, "If you screw up, we have a plane

to take you to Korea," he remembered.

In Alabama, his training included smoke generators

and smoke grenades. Smoke cover could also be

fired from mortars.

Because of his chemistry knowledge, Holhubner

started training troops how to stay alive if war broke

out with the Soviet Union.

He spent much of his active duty time in Germany.

"We trained troops in how to deal with chemical,

biological and radiological warfare," he said. "We

were especially concerned about nerve gas because it

had been used and proved effective. If you were

exposed, you died in about 3 minutes."

The G-agents were so named because German

scientists first synthesized them before World War II

— the first nerve gasses to be made.

The only antidote: a shot of atropine right into the

muscle in their leg. (In training, it was a harmless

solution).

Many of the trainees couldn't deal with pushing a

needle deep into muscle.

A veteran officer liked to make them squeamish by

plunging a needle in his leg, "and letting it bounce

around as he walked," Holhubner said.

Better than a cure was protection. The lieutenant

was strict about suits and masks, putting them

through an unforgettable experience of taking

measures against tear gas and then "puking gas,"

adamsite.

A bit of Urbana trivia: Adamsite was developed by

the Germans and independently by Professor Roger

Adams (for whom it is named) at the University of

Illinois in 1918.

As for radiation poisoning, soldiers were taught how

to use three types of protection from alpha, beta and

especially gamma rays, he said.

Holhubner left active service in 1954.

"I was one of the fortunate ones," he said. "I had

friends killed or injured in Korea. I was never in

direct conflict."

After his service, he earned graduate degrees and

had a long and successful career in Cooperative

Extension.

That eventually brought him to Urbana, from where

he traveled extensively.

At the University of Illinois, he was a field

administrator, then the go-to guy to solve problems,

which often took him to Washington.

Later, he took cruises with his wife.

Even in Extension, he served as a reserve officer,

teaching chemical, biological and radiological

protection at a time when schoolchildren were taught

to "duck and cover" if they faced a nuclear threat.

By the way, we WON and will WIN again!!!

The Titanic, known for being the largest ship at the time of its maiden voyage, gained notoriety for claiming

to be unsinkable. As we all know, the ship hit an iceberg and sank on 2 April 1912 in less than three hours in

the North Atlantic Ocean, laying to rest over 12,000 feet below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. Robert

Ballard rediscovered the wreckage in the ocean. A few years later, the ship was featured in the renowned

movie Titanic starring Leonardo DiCaprio which wasn’t nearly as good as the book.

I’ve never been one to read a lot of books although these days I spends many hours a week reading historical

information and interesting facts via the internet. I did however read at least one book when I was growing

up and it was “A Night To Remember” by Walter Lord. I found the book on my brother’s book shelf in his

bedroom when he was a student at Eastern Illinois University earning his teaching degree. I was in junior

high school at that time and probably had no business being in his bedroom little alone taking a book from

his bookshelf. Never the less, I did and I became fascinated with the history of the Titanic and when the

movie by the same name came out in 1958 it became one of my all-time favorites and remains so to this day.

That brings me to why I’m doing these pages. Back in 2015 I did a PowerPoint presentation at one of our

luncheons on the history of the Titanic accompanied by 75 photos. Even during a 50-minute presentation

there are always more facts and photos one would liked to have been able to include in his presentation;

consequently, that’s why I am doing this supplemental feature today to fill in some of the gaps.

There were several famous people who decided not to take the maiden voyage on the Titanic for various reasons. Little did they realize at the time their decisions would save their lives and have an impact on the future. Included here are photos of 6 famous and wealthy people who made the best decision of their lives.

Tom’s Titanic Facts

Left – Young Passengers – Of the children on the Titanic 53 out of 109 died. Right – Bellboys – The Titanic’s bellboys

were as young as 14, and they moved passengers’ luggage and performed other basic tasks. All of the bellboys died when

the ship sank.

Left – Stewards – Waiters, waitresses, and maids were called stewards on the Titanic. Out of the 421 stewards on the

ship, only 60 survived. Pictured are the First Class Cabin Stewardesses. Right – Orchestra – As seen in the movie, the

orchestra played music during the sinking. They were trying their hardest to console the passengers.

Millvina Dean – Elizabeth Gladys Millvina Dean, the Titanic’s youngest surviving passenger, died in 2009. After she died,

Gladys was cremated. Her ashes were scattered from the docks in Southampton, where she boarded the Titanic with her

family as an infant. I was so interested in the Titanic I was able to acquire Millvina Dean’s autograph nearly 20 years ago

when she was the “last surviving passenger” from the Titanic. It’s one of my most cherished autographs.

Left – William McMaster – When First Officer McMaster saw the iceberg he commanded that the ship turn immediately,

but unfortunately it was too late. Due to the massive size of the boat, it was unable to turn around in time to avoid the

collision. The sailors in the Crows Nest didn’t have binoculars and it’s thought if they did the iceberg could have been

averted. Right – Captain, Edward J. Smith – Smith, the captain of the Titanic, said his last words to the crew: “Well

boys, do your best for the women and children, and look out for yourself.” He was planning on retiring after the voyage.

Left – John Jacob Astor IV – John Jacob Astor IV was the wealthiest passenger on board on board the Titanic. He had

an estimated net worth of $85 million which when converted means he would be worth approximately $2 billion today!

He was traveling with his pregnant wife, who survived. Unfortunately, he died when the ship sank after he helped his

wife get on a lifeboat. Right – Clive Palmer – When I did my presentation to our club back in 20?? I mentioned that an

Australian billionaire named Clive Palmer was building a replica of the Titanic, called the Titanic II and he planned to

make its maiden voyage in 2018.

Left – Theodore Dreiser - Famous author Theodore Dreiser also changed plans and did not board the ship. After the

sinking of the Titanic, he wrote, “To think of a ship as immense as the Titanic, new and bright, sinking in endless fathoms

of water. And the two thousand passengers routed like rats from their berths only to float helplessly in miles of water,

praying and crying!” Center – Henry Clay Frick – American steel tycoon Henry Clay Frick intended to go on the

Titanic. However, his wife twisted her ankle and that changed their travel plans. Right – Milton S. Hershey – Hershey

was the founder of the Hershey’s Chocolate Empire. Like several others, Milton Hershey decided not to travel on the

Titanic’s maiden voyage.

Left – Guglielmo Marconi – Nobel Prize winner, and noted inventor Guglielmo Marconi decided to travel on the

Lusitania instead of the Titanic. Middle – J.P. Morgan – Many famous people purchased tickets for the journey, but

they didn’t actually sail. These included Hershey’s chocolate founder Milton S. Hershey; pioneering inventor Guglielmo

Marconi; J. P. Morgan, the American banking and steel magnate; and, one of the richest men in America. Right –

George Washington Vanderbilt II – George Washington Vanderbilt II was the grandson of Cornelius Vanderbilt, heir

to the Vanderbilt fortune. He was scheduled to be on the ship. A friend talked with him about the potential problems

with the new ship, and he changed his plans for the voyage.

Tragic Statistics

Children – 56 Saved 53 Lost

Women – 316 Saved 109 Lost

Men – 338 Saved 1,352 Lost

The Great National Road – Route 40

Last Thursday noon I had the honor of being the speaker at the Urbana Exchange Club meeting. I was asked

to do the program I presented to our club on January 8, 2018 about the building of The Great National Road

and its influence on the building and growth of the states in the middle part of our country. Knowing that my

usual 1-1/2-hour presentations would be too long for the Urbana Club I cut out about 40-50 of my pictures

and did my best to keep them awake and out by 1:00 PM (I finished at 12:58 PM). At least I was half

successful. Since you have already viewed my presentation and I have put many of my pictures in a previous

issue of the Exchanger, I’m not going to reprint them here.

I would be remiss if I didn’t thank Nancy and Norma for showing up to support me. They keep my spirits up

by consistently claiming they enjoy my presentations and the Exchanger. I still don’t know how Urbana

found out about my program because the Hummels and Smiths were not in attendance at our luncheon when

I presented it to our club. But knowing that John and Judy Hummel grew up along The Great National Road

and were probably driving on it at the same time I was a freshman at the University of Illinois, I had to

mention John a couple of times during my presentation. After all, Judy probably saved John from all the

temptations one could succumb to if left to his own devices. Thank goodness they got out of Maryland and

made their way to Champaign-Urbana and the great University of Illinois. John did have a few lost years

when he was spending time in Columbia, Missouri but I have forgiven him for that.

Anyway, I enjoyed the opportunity to make another presentation at Urbana’s meeting. My previous

presentation was on Nancy and my fantastic 2-week trip to Russia a few years ago and the 7-day boat trip on

the Volga River from St. Petersburg down to Moscow. Don’t tell them but I have about 25 other programs

I’ve presented to our club over the past half dozen years. It’s a scary thought isn’t it?
