vorite thing to bake was
apple pie. “The crust was so
tender, it melts in your
mouth. I never used a reci-
pe.”
Millie moved into Care-
free in January of 2012, and
we are so grateful! She was
voted as our Queen of Val-
entines this past February.
When she’s not showing off
her card shark status in
cribbage or 500 downstairs,
she can be found painting a
masterpiece (3 represented
here) in her room or exer-
cising in our fitness group.
Congratulations, Millie,
for being our Resident of
the Month for May! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
May 2012 Carefree Living started
a Resident of the Month program.
This program is in place to recog-
nize our residents who put smiles
on the faces of others and who
help make Carefree Living a little
brighter each day.
Millie Belton was born
on August 31, 1937 in
Cleveland, OH. In May of
1987 she said she came to
Minnesota for her daugh-
ter’s graduation and “never
went back [to Ohio].” She
was married twice: first to
an Englishman named Har-
old in Cleveland (and she
even lived in England with
him for 12 years!), and most
recently to Steve here in St.
Cloud. Harold and Millie
had 3 kids together: David,
who is now in England;
Colin, who is now in Japan;
and Judy, who lives in the
area. Judy’s family is very
musical and occasionally
grace Millie and other resi-
dents with their talents.
Millie has 4 grandkids, old-
est of which is 14 years old
now.
When raising her family,
she learned how to make
bread from her neighbor
who ground her own flour.
She would bring over the
freshly-ground flour every
week and Millie, in be-
tween other housekeeping
activities, would make 12
loaves of bread a week! She
said that she “was a good
homemaker. The clothes
were always washed &
ironed, and everything was
made by scratch.” Her fa-

History Corner with Ron It was the evening of May 1, 1893, and a crowd of 200,000 people had gath-ered in Grant Park in Chi-cago to witness the open-ing of the World’s Colum-bian Exposition. (It was supposed to have opened a
year earlier to honor the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America, but the con-struction of the fabulous buildings which housed exhibits from all over the world had taken longer than expected.) An enormous platform seating 33,000 digni-taries and distinguished visitors had been erected in front of the Administration
Building, and the Presi-dent of the United States, Grover Cleve-land, would officially open the fair. After an appropriate short speech, the President pushed a button and two things happened. A
massed choir burst into the “Hallelujah chorus” from Handel’s Messiah, and 5,000 arc lights went on, illuminating eve-ry acre of Grant Park and every building in it. “It was a sight such as no man alive today ever saw,” one reporter wrote, and no one who was there that night ever for-got it. Those magnificent lights were seen from miles away, and for all those 200,000 people who had never seen anything brighter than a kerosene lamp, it was both incredible and ecstatic. The Age of Electricity was born that May night in Chicago, Illinois.
As if that was not enough, visitors could return the next day and witness yet another marvel in action. A young guy by the name of George Ferris had invented a giant wheel especially for this Exposition, and it really was something to behold and experience. It was 265 feet high—as high, that is, as a 26-story building. Between its rims it carried 38 plush seats and room for 22 standees, in a volume of space as big as a bus. The wheel as a whole carried 2,160 passengers when it was filled to capacity, and it was illuminated at night by 2,440 light bulbs. It is no wonder that the Ferris wheel became the “signature emblem” of the fair.
There is a passage in St. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians which comes to mind whenever men make some dramatic advance in their way of life. Paul wrote, “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has the mind of man even imagined, what things God has pre-pared for those who love Him” (2:9). Surely those words must have occurred to some of the people who visited the fair; but, perhaps for the first time in history, they may have been disturbing rather than inspiring. What was evident to all was the fact that everyone could enjoy the benefits of electricity and the fun of the Ferris wheel whether they loved God or not. As we continue to make ever more amazing improvements in our way of life, each new advance seems to make virtue and the love of God more irrelevant. If they do become irrelevant, do you think anything equivalent will be found to replace them?

The safety committee will be doing room checks on May 14th. If you received a letter
notifying you about safety concerns regarding the cleanliness of your room, please
have your rooms cleaned by this date. If you need help cleaning (even
if you did not receive a letter), see Kelvin or the housekeepers.
Thank you!
