Four prominent authorities discussed expansion of a recently inaugurated program of volunteer services. The meeting also served as a kick-off for the Illinois observance of Mental Health Week, May 4 to 10. The meeting was sponsored by the Illinois Society for Mental Health and its affiliates in Rockford, Rock Island, Springfield and Peoria. .Preceding the conference the Peoria society was host at a dinner at the Peoria Y. W. C. A. Participants in the panel discussion, "You Are Needed--the volunteer services program in Illinois," included Edward Linzer, executive secretary, Peoria Mental Hygiene Society. V Several hundred men. and women volunteers are already working in Illinois mental hospitals, Linzer said, although the Volunteer Services program was started only six months ago. > "There is need for additional volunteers to offer those 'plus services' so important to the recovery of patients. "By increasing eur corps of volunteers Jn the mental institutions we can step up the program for treatment so that a greater number of patients can be rehabilitated and returned to productive living. "We believe that if the public knows more about mental health and mental illness, we can do a better Job of prevention.

Forty Years Ago The domino and card party that wes advertised, to take place at Woodman hall last night was postponed until tomorrow night, April 19. The heavy snow made it necessary to change the date. The roller skating 'craze has again struck McHenry. Quite a number of boys and girls are now navigating via the wheel skates. The fishing season has opened up in earnest and many a fine catch of the finny tribe has been made during the past week. The old barns and sheds in the rear of the McHenry House have been razed to give way to a new cement block garage. Peter P. Rothermel is driving a handsome new Overland roadster. He received the new car last week. As we go to press about six inches of the beautiful covers Mother Earth. The first real electrical and thunder storm of the season struck Mclgenry early Sunday morning. Butter was declared firm at 31 cents on the Elgin board of Trade MOnday. ' The marriage of Miss Rose Adams of this place to Mr.- Mathlas M. Schaefer of Johnsburgh took place at St. Mary's churcli here at 9 o'clock a.m. Wednesday. The first band of gypsies to make their appearance in McHenry this snasop arrived in town Tuesday, forenoon and made their stay quite short. The dancing bears and a monkey were responsible for the tribe carrying a few nickels and dimes out of the village. X- ~ ____ Vf 158 APPOINTMENT Announcement has been made that Norman Specht of Woodstock, who has been soil conservationist in McHenry county since 1947. was elected a field man for the Farm Bureau farm management service at the annual meeting of the organization held at St. Charles last Friday evening. He will continue to reside in this county. By W. H. Taiunias We now have an international soil testing laboratory. Carl Gulgren, Crystal Lake, brought in a sample from Mexico. It tested high in potash and lime and was' too alkaline to get a good phosphate test. We went , down in defeat on -our aim at 400 agricultural 4-H club members. We got 394. Even though we have six less than our goal we have fifteen mpre than in 1951. The Crystal Lake Workers had the largest Increase over 19&1. They came through with twentyseven members as compared to fifteen last year. Huntley is no longer the largest club in the c o u n t y . R i l e y R a m b l e r s , l a s t year's, "Club of the Year," now tops them with thirty-five members as compared to Huntley's thirty-three. They both bettered their last year's record, Huntley by one member and Riley by eight. How often have you tried to decipher one of our 1921 soil maps of McHenry county. The good news is that' a new one will be prepared starting in May. A party of four men, three from the Illinois experiment station and one from the soil conservation service, will start in May doing the field mapping. They will walk over every field in the county before they complete the job so if you see them don't sick the dog on them or( turn the bull loose. Robinson Is a new strawberry variety attractive in appearance, usually good size and good for dessert and freezing says Prof. A. S. Colby in a letter to my tfife. Sparkle is a smaller berry but better quality both for dessert and freezing. She knows 1 have a definite desire for more and more strawberries so perhaps we can grow our own. I'll be on picket duty I guess--the neighborhood birds and I. An observation was recently made by a dairy specialist of the College of Agriculture about McHenry county. He said here was the only place in the state he might expect to find a dairy bara litter carrier to carry the ashes out of the court house. Sure enough, that's what you will find. I had never noticed it before so you see who is the real dairyman. Dean Thompson, breeder for Northern Illinois Breeding Co-op, has his left side door on his car dented in. He said a jealous bull did it in a fit of rage. I I was told about a man who was r i d i n g h o r s e b a c k d u r i n g f l y season. His horse was trying to kick flies off his belly and caught his foot in the stirrup. The rider WIPE OUT RATS! WHEN YOU USI FAMOUS CONCENTRATE said. "O.K., if you are soifit to get on, I'm getting off." The U. of I. College of Agriculture runs a test to see if all the ingredients of the Purdue supplement are necessary in a ration of corn silage fed to beef calves. They found that the lot fed a full feed of corn silage and „Purdue supplement gained 2.22 pounds per day and the lot getting full feed of silage plus 1.25 pounds of soybean oil meal and 2 pounds of shelled corn gained 2.24 pounds per day. Both groups got- a mineral mixture free choice. In commenting on the trial they say the kind and amount of supplement needed for corn cobs or other low quality roughage is neither necessary or economical with good corn or legume grass silage. Somebody said it used to .bethat people needed strong backs to stand the rigors of pioneering in the U. S., now they need strong stomachs to digest the Washington nonsense. It's hard to believe that any thoughtful McHenry county farmer will follow the false prophets in ruining his good hayland for more corn in 1952. Sure we are all for more corn, but through some typographical error or something the word "acres" crept into the script that came from the leaders in Washington. If you plan to use nitrogen on your corn this year we suggest you plow down 150 pounds of ammonium nitrate (33 %N) or its equivalent and add 50 pounds as a side dressing at last cultivation. This will make your corn roots go down better and you won't run the chance of dry weather not dissolving all the fertilizer if you put on the full 200 pounds as side dressing at last cultivation. "BELL, BOOK AMD CANDLE" EXTENDED RUN TO MAY 3 TRANSIENT DEAD A heart attack is believed to have been the cause of death in the case of Roy Richard Fleming, 44, a transient, who was found dead in a box car in the railroad yards at Eola laBt week. A social security card was found in Fleming's j possession and authorities tracc« a sister, Mrs. Margaret Smooth, through records found on the Wayside Cross Mission in Aurora. Relatives made arrangements to have Fleming's body taken to Vienna, lit, tot* funeral services and burial. ' Quebec, Canada, is the onl^ walled city in North America. Complete line of Lee's poultry remedies at Wattles Drag Store McHenry. stt Encouraged by the largest advance sale in the history of the Great Northern theater, Chicago, Shepard Traube, producer of "Bell Book and Candle," starring Rosalind Russell and Dennis Price, has again extended the engagement of the John van Druten comedy. Under the new arrangement with the Great Northern theater management, the play will remain in Chicago until May 3. The comedy has proved »' real smash hit. Business has Increased each week since the opening and it was fortunate that Mr. Traube was able to cancel other cities that had been promised a visit of the play that Claudia Cassidy, erudite critic of the Chicago Tribune said: "Bewitched, Bemused, Beguiled and highly Amused is your probable fate if you wander in on 'Bell, Book and Candle'." Ann Marsters, distinguished critic of the Chicago Herald-American, said it was "an entertaining evening of smiles, laughter and romance. Miss Russell looking beautiful and performing delightfully makes of it an enchanted evening." In its present form, "Bell, Book and Candle" clings to a picturesque title but not to its awesome connotation, for it is concerned with exorcism by love, with laughter. From the ninth, or perhaps even the eighth, century, bell, book, and candle meant something altogether more frightening. It was the ceremony of major excommunication or "anathema." The bell represented the public character of the act, and the signal calling attention to it. The book represented the authority of words spoken by the presiding bishop, who wore violet vestments. The candle--there were thirteen candles, one each for the bishop and the twefre attending priests --was more hopeful. It was sometimes believed to symbolize the possibility that the ban could be lifted by repentance, for it was not burned to guttering extinction, but, once lighted, was flung to the ground and extinguished. It would be interesting to know just how far Mr. van Druten went with that idea before someone, perhaps even van Druten, suggested that he always has better box office luck with amorous comedy than with more serious plays.
