McCullom Lake News jit $ev«pque Last Friday evening, thirtyfour interested members of the community met at the beachhouse to hear the fatits for and against incorporation. The meeting was under the directloft of Wm. j. Cairo!!, Jh, attorney-at-law from Woodstock and presided over by Clayton Nelson. The election to decide the outcome of out community will be held Saturday, April 2, at the beachhouse from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Any adult who has lived in the state of Illinois for one year, in McHenry county for ninety days afld in , STcdilllom Lake Estates or Knollwood is eligible to vote. You must fulfill all three rOtjliireMerits. It is not necessary to be a registered voter. In the event that incorporation does go through,* another election for officers will be held approximately thirty days after April 2. At this time we will Vote1 fbr a president and & board of trustees consisting of six members. It is inconsistent with sound thinking to suppose that incorporation would solve all our problems over-night. There would be much work for many before we will be able to show much Improvement. To attempt too many projects all at once such is sewers, sidewalks, and street lights would make the cost prohibitive and defeat our purpose, fhe only way to make incorporation effective is to operate on a sound budget and with officers who are willing to serve without Remuneration. On the other hand, it is a method whereby everyone in the community will be forced to $hare an equal load; in the financial burden. Incorporated, we would obtain a prestige which We have never had before. We would have a voice in the county and will all realize a financial remuneration from property taxes and a small return on auto fuel tax. ^ • It behooves everyone of us to weigh the issues at hand from every angle and then cast our ballot on April 2 for the future of our community.

With more th^n 1,600 classrooms under, construction for elementary schools, at least 1,000 more are desperately needed -- these figures ignore high school and college needs. ' Cattle Business Shows Stability by L. H. Simerl Dept. of Agricultural Economics Beef cattle numbers and the human population ran nearly a dead heat in 1954. Both increased about 1% percent during the year. The increase in numbers of beef cattle was quite evenly spread among cows, calves, steers and heifers. These small increases leave the production and supply side of the beef cattle business about the same as it was a year ago. Fewer milk cows. While beef cattle numbers went up slightly l^St year, the number of dairy cattle shrank a bit, about % of 1 percent. In the dairy herds, cow numbers went down most, about 1 percent There was little change in numbers of heifers and heifer calves being kept for milk. The 1 percent decrease in milk cow numbers in the past year followed an increase of nearly 6 percent in the three pr^vibulr years. It appears likely that the decline in prices of milk and butterfat in 1954 had some effect on the culling of dairy cows. Milk production, after increasing sharply through 1952 and 1953, leveled off in 1954. On Jan. 1 there were an estimated 58.4 million head of beef cattle and 37.0 million: dairy cattle, or a total of 95.4 million head. Thus beef cattle made up 61 percent and dairy cattle 39 percent of the total. Steers, Heifers and Calves. Numbers of steers on Jan. 1 were estimated at 8.3 million head, a little over 2 percent more than last year but 8 percent less than the record of two years ago. About the same proportion are in feedlots this winter as a year ago. Numbers of beef heifers oh farms Jan. 1 were estimated at 6.2 million, about 1 percent more than the year before. Because a larger part of these heifers are on feed than usual, market supplies of fed heifers may be at a record high during the first half of this year. / Beef calves on farms Jan. 1 numbered about 17.9 million head, up 2 percent from a year before. A few are calves from dairy stock that are not being kept for milk. The fact that calves are being put on feed more slowly now than last • ^ursday, March M I93& year points to a *Ugfit increase in nitmberi to fce head*#;ft? fall market. < Beef Cotor tfurhbefrs LeV^ling Off. The big increase in beef cow numbers under Way since 1948 has about stopped. Between 1948 and 1953 cow numbers climbed 50 percent, but the 1954 increase Was below 2 percent. Beef cows now total 24.2 million head, only 2 percent less, than the number Of cows being kept for milk. Regional Differences. DroUth in 1954 reduced numbers - of beef cattle in some states; There were moderate reductions in the Southeast and Southwest. Largest increases occurred in Iowa, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho and California. Illinois farmers stood1 ipat on numbers of beef cows in 1954, but they now have about 4 percent more steers, beef heifers and calves than they had a year ago. Steady, Please. Altogether the beef cattle picture has not changed muth in the past year or so. tfdtiil hiifttbelfs of beef 68ftUf K&vq increased about the same »b population, le^s than 2 percent in the past year. We had 4 percent more catt'e on feed in. the Corn £elt on Jan. 1, 1955, tjiah, we had last year and 8 percent more in the whole tJAited States. Feeder Costs were higher last fall than Hit 'the previous fall, but Consumer demand for beef seems to be stronger, In spite of larger supplied of pork. Continued stability in market supplies could be a big help in making another good year for beef producers.

TEACHING ARITHMETIC THE EASY WAY "What shall I do now?" that's a time-worn inquiry of children. Next .tihie it's asked, why, not give your child a pack of playing cards and suggest one of the many simple but instructive card games for children? Today several authorities on children maintain that an interest in p l a y i n g curds stimu l a t e s a child's recognition of letters, forms and numbers, and even helps teach him to count., One of the simplest games to play with a very young child is "Follow the Suit." As the name suggests, you merely lead a card and he must1 play one with the same color and sign on it.. R his has more spots on it than yours, he wins and it is his turn to lead. You will, discover that even a young child soon recognizes the difference in colors and shapes of the suit Signs. And as your child's skill increases, you'll find you're having fun because he is. • Soon you can try more complicated garties, like "Slap Jack." This is a wonderful game for four to nine year olds. Cards may be dealt one at a time or simply Cut into packets of equal size. Each player keeps his cards ip a pile, face down. Each in turn faces up the top card of his ! >ile and puts it on a common pile n the center of the table. Whenever a Jack is turned up, the player who slaps it flr8t takes all the cards in the 'center and places them at the bottom of his . own pile. Then th% next1 player faces up a card and starts a new center -pile. Object of the game is for one player to take all the cards. Turning and slapping should be done with the same hand, which, adds to the general hilarity. A little knowledge of arithmetic 16 needed in Magic Seven and the Game of Nines. Magic Seven calls for accurate addition. You lay out all 52 cfirds, one at a time. Whenever a seven or any number of consecutive cards totalling seven or a multiple of seven appear, they are discarded. This involves counting backward as well as forward from the last card played each time, for while 9,3,8,10 equals 30 and is not a multiple of seven, it will l>e found that the last three cards alone total 21 and may therefore be thrown out. In this gam* a. player wins when all the cards have M>en thus eliminated. In playing the Game of Nines, you deal out three rows of three cards each, stopping to cover up any nine or any two cards whose total is nine. If the Ten, Jack, Queen and King are all showing at once, they too must be covered. The object of the game is to play out all the cards in this manner before the nine piles have been laid out. There .are lot9 of other good card games for children that will not only serve to keep > them occupied but because of their rules and traditional etiquette will teach your child good sportsmanship. If you want to know more about children's card games, you can obtain several excellent books on the subject through your local card dealer or at your library. GAS PUMP THOUGHTS By: Ed Guettler Reading* about^ an interesting1 discussion involving the question, "Would the world be ;better off if it were run by women?"

This should be done before April 15, the date when the beetles that spread the disease begin to crawl out of their winter quarters in the bark. Healthy elm trees can be protected by two sprayings of a special DDT mixture, Dr. Campana said. First spraying should be in early Spring before the buds open; the second about 90 cdays later. y 1 SAVINGS BONDS NEWS ITEM Setgeant Joe Brown ftfids Twins Ages 3'/t DEAD IN OLD ABANDONED ICE BOX! .
