Take tor instance Farm and Home t)av attenders. 1 noticed quite a few. of the older farmers who are semi-retired aad I know their sons were home working. The old boy could go, but the one who would or could profit most from our presentations was too busy to be there. I'm not kidding myself any--the old fellows were there because the> would see their friends there an«i it was something to go to. The $64 question is how to gt? the young fellows there. One plat that works is the veterans "p«» i 'JiM Todd Nolan, supa«Tl>of' ci township, wha contacted the meeting Jan. 2S. Todd explained tat the-job training" course.

Oi course, they have to attend U fulfill their requirements, but ». number of them have told us tha they no longer consider our coifn ty-wide sessions as another re quired meeting, but something they look forward to. They realize the value of the tn formation they get there and wha is more important they keep thei minds more active and are mor» conscious of community happen ings. With most people who takt an active part in community af fairs, it is a hobby to, do so. An' the more people in a communit> with such a hobby, the better the community is to live in. Our last two veterans' sessions held on Jan. 12 and 26, were on county government. Our thanks are generous to those county of ficials who took part, especially Dangers ef Ndat Excessive noise it a definite health and safety hazard on the streets, in the office, factory and home.

Rf only natural that a township offiolal will ft a much better job when the peopl* 61 the township watch him and raak« constructive criticisms. I can see in ray own case that it the Farm Bureau board didn't meet monthly with a good attendance, and it the annual meeting waa attended by mly a handful of people, toy performance would get pretty atoppy.

Find out who 'they" are The January 13 meettag was also a very interesting one, with State's Attorney Don Wicks giving i very concise description of what liappens in the court house. He took the example of Joe Blow from Hebron, whose fatlier had just passed away and left the heira a farm and two lota ip town. Joe also decides to get married. He comes to th» court house and attends to all these thfcife arid while th«re. pays his taxes, too. When fee gets ready to go home he finds his new Cadillac has been stolen so he returns to the court house for help. The sheriff finds his car in Sycamore.

Your newspapers and radios have reported with accuracy the tragic news of outbreaks in all sections of the nation with 43 cases and 4 deaths here in McHenry County, six of Aaaon • in our own township. The strides the National Foundation has made in its long range, full-scale approach to the subject of Infantile Paralysis, tlie gains that have been made in almost twelve years of tedious, conscientious, work--all these could he wiped out in a matter of months by the cost of Polio in the tragic year 1949. •< Due to the tremendeons expense created by the late epidemic, the treasury oif both our National and County Chapters has been depleted. In McHenry County we raised a little over $11,000 in the 1949 March of Dimes campaign. The county expense alone from January 1 to December 31, 1949 was very close to $24,000. Yon can readily see the urgent need of funds. . Owing to the fact that there will be 110 house to house canvas, may I therefore" appeal to you to kindly eonsider giving as much as is possible" so that the fight against polio may be continued and that we all may help victims to Uve-^and to > live active, useful, normal lives. Checks may be made payable to Robert L. Weber, Treasurer, Polio Fund, Me- Henry, Illinois. Gratefully yours, RAY McGEE Chairman, McHenry March of Dimes.
