The people who planned and worked for the party certainly deserve a word of praise for a difficult job, well done. Cajfle Bonder celebrated her eighth. .birthday last Saturday With a party for some of her friends. Her aunt and uncle, Helen and Fred Gessler of Chi- „ cago, came out to help her celebrate her day. We extend a welcome to Mr. Old Mrs. William Goodgle and S6n, who have moved into the apartment formerly occupied by the Homer Deveroux family. The Goodale family moved here from Chicago, but have on various occasions rented cottages here for the summer months.

Ann Hatch also has a birthdky Oct. 30, so the gang really had plenty to celebrate. We have, some good news this week. Sam Weingard, who has been so very seriously ill, is home now from the hospital and recovering very nicely. With all the g^ls^ taking jobs this fall since the children are back in school, this place will soon resemble a ghost town. The newest career gal in our midst is Laura Suprinski, who started her new- job on Monday. Our entire community, was shocked -and saddened by the terrible tragedy that befell the Steve Wijas family last Friday. No one knows why "these terrible things happen, and all we can do is offer oilr condolences to the stricken family. By W. H. Tammeus On Nov. 4, remember our canine friends. They don't vote, but sure don't have to be begged to go" to the poles. Recently I was sure I was having a dream. * Maybe I was because no one will believe the incident. I was tending to my Saturday morning frenzied duties at the office when the phone rang. A lady at the other end of the wire asked if I was the county agent. I said, "Yes." "Were there going to be any farm sales soon?" I related I had seen some sale ads in the paper. She was much surprised to learn I didn't supervise all farm sales. (That's the reason I never liked the term .county agent.) Well, her boss asked 4ier to call me because he wants to buy forty cows and she said he was willing to pay as much as $35 apiece for them. What was I supposed to say then? I asked a few questions such as where his farm is located. ' Olj, he doesn't have a farm but that was the other thing: I should rent him a good 160-acre farm with a 40-cow barn equipped to produce Grade A milk. Guess what he was willing to pay--$75 per month. I asked how cbme he wanted to start farming and she said he had been studying the outlook and dairying, in the next few years, looked good. I did find out she was calling from Marengo or at least that is what she said. Now one of three things was true. Either I had a dream, she was, crazy and thought she had a boss or actually had a city man boss who was* so uninformed about the cost of farming that he had siich fantastic lideas of prices. If the latter is true, certainly we have a long way to go in convincing the city folks that jour grass isn't any greener than j theirs is. j Nowdays we hear about the ; Hoover days, the twenty years of good times since Uit New Deal j came in, etc. The facts are it was seven long years after the New Deal was born that prosperity started. The New Deal was about to be wiped off the board as a failure when Hitler invaded Poland. / If my memory serves me right I started buying hogs in the stockyards at $5.25 per hundred in October, 1939, and bought my last hogs there for $9.25 in October, 1941. Let there be no mistake. It is world-wide conditions and events that cause general prosperity | and not political parties. Republican or Democrat--our prosperity was a result of Hitler waging war against the world and came with our rise in federal debt to finance it. If our federal debt is to be decreased we will experience something else than prosperity but not a depression like the 30's becail.se we have a number of stop gaps against it. Have you recently set i«but evergreen trees? They should be watered now before winter. Soak up the soil around each tree so it will penetrate down around the roots. It's never been so dry. At Urbana this week, McHenry county boys were rather evident on the campus. I saw Bernard Johnson, Norman and Ozzie Hughes of Huntley and Gene Tomlin, Dunham township, on his bicycle. Harold "Jake" Olbrich of Dunham township tells me he has 9igned up for the eight weeks' winter short course at the College of Agriculture which starts Dec. 1 and ends Jan. 24. How many more will there be? Dr. E. H. Tyner, a new man in the Agronomy department, will be our speaker for the Feb. 18 meeting in our winter series on the topic of heavy fertilization for increased yields. He recently came from West Virginia. He made a very significant statement at - conference in his discussion of this topic. He said the use of nitrogen fertilizer is an art and not a science. You don't read it out of a book, but learn to use it by experience. Casserole Idea .. Next "time you have a casserole, try topping with toasted oat cereal for a delicious texture contrast. IJLA. SECRETARY EXPLAINS AIMS OF ONE AMENDMENT School teachers as well as farmers have a |tftake in the Revenue Amendment to be voted upon in the general election Nov. 4, John K, Cox, secretary of general services for the Illinois A g r i c u l t u r a l a s s o c i a t i o n , s a i d this week. "This Blue Ballot amendment will permit broadening of th§ tax biise," Cox said. "That means schools can be more soundly financed if the voters of Illinois approve the Revenue Amendment." The IAA is the statewide. organized Farm Bureau group. Cox, a former school administrator himself, said many teachers went without pay for months back in the '30's when real restate taxpayers went on a tax strike. Recalling the depression days of the early thirties when school teachers had to accept script which was heavily disr counted when cashed for material goods, Cox said a "Yes" vote on the Revenue Amendment contained on the Blue Ballot would help prevent * a possible recurrence of pay-less* days for school teachers. "Broadening the tax base means that improvements can be made in the assessment procedures • for stocks, bonds, and money in the bank," he Said. "These assessments aren't being made effectively now. A broadened tax base would provide additional revenue for some 3,000 school districts in Illinois and for the other local taxing units." Additional advantages of the broadened tax base to he provided by the proposed Revenue Amendment are that it would allow the legislature to collect tax revenue from other sources such as severance taxes on coal and oil. Taxes on these two minerals now are generally recognized as being fair taxes, Ccfx said, but "they're prohibited by the restrictive Revenue Amendment written in 1870. "Adoption of the Revenue Amendment Nov. 4 also would allow the state legislature to pass laws which could control strip mining, require commercial truck owners to pay higher proportions of truck license fees than non-commercial haulers and to correct other inequities which the 1870 Revenue article now forbids.

As parting advice to school teachers and ether educators, the IAA general services secretary pointed out that the Revenue Amendment is the first one on the Blue Ballot. "If your salary is dependent upon local property taxes, you have a vital interest in the passage of the Revenue Amendment and should vote "Yes" on the Blue Ballot," Cox concluded.

W. Pairchild said this past week. His statement followed the release of the annual placement report from the I.S.N.U. bureau of appointments--showing 3,900 requests for university graduates, as teachers, swamped the office in 1952. Recruitment depends on more than salaries, according to the I.S.N.U. president. "Teacher salaries are the highest in years," he points out, "over three thousand dollars for beginning high school teachers and almost three thousand for beginning elementary teachers. But we have to do better in other ways.

Otherwise this state, with thousands of teachers needed, is going CO come up short." The report prepared by Dr. Harold Gibson, IJS.N.U. placement director, shows the university had about nineteen elementary teaching requests for every elementary candidate available, about fifteen requests for every girls' physical education candidate, and about ten for every business education candidate. Music and mathematics teachers are also badly needed. Highest salaries for beginning teachers went to home economics, special education, and boys' physical education instructors. Sixteen states besides Illinois, Hawaii, Malaya, Virgin Islands, Pakistan and Austria employed ISNU graduates as teachers. Need a Rubber Stamp? Order it now at Hie Plaindealer.
