See a P.T.A. member for tickets. the leakiest defenses of the tourney. We all know the Rockets were and are a better team than they showed against the Green Wave. St. Edwards and Richmond should be an even match according to past scores but instead of improving for the tournaments the Rockets seem to be going down hill. Does anybody know why? The Elgin boys shot a field goal percentage of .533. That kind of shows you the defense we used. The Rockets hit a .231. The only thing we can do is use the old saying: "Wait 'til next year." Business Conference Ten members of the Richmond- Burton high school's commercial club attended a business students' conference at Northwestern university. The mbrning was spent listening to lectures on careers in the business field and in the afternoon the group was taken by bus to a hotel for a business show. The day was very interesting and all benefitted by the experience. CARD |OF THANKS We wish to thank all of you who remembered us with food, flowers and many kindnesses during our time of sorrow.

Haraldson Visited the Nafzigers in Kankakee last weekend. (Belated Congratulations Don't know how we missed this one, but Beverly Bergsma and Jack Schmitt were engaged over the Christmas holidays. They have no definite wedding plans. Best wishes to you both. Here and There Guests in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Guffey Sunday were Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Pope and Sylvester Muldoon of Woodstock and Mrs. Irene Guffey and Mrs. "'Bobby" May of McHenry. News is so scarce this week that well have to resort to our own family. Ruth, Paul and I drove to DeKalb last Thursday to visit relatives. It as indeed news for it's the first time I've driven that far without my husband's nice, secure form sitting there to give me advice if I ask for it. He's not a back seat driver, you understand, just there in -case. We arrived home all in . one piece, after dark, however, bo that for a change the man of the house was pacing the floor. Maybe Uie reason we haven't heard much news of late is that most of our spare time is spent Rockets Lose in District Play St. Edwards of Elgin put a stop to the Richmond Rockets hopes of getting into regional play by trouncing the Rockets 89-50. It also put an end to the fine winning season the Rockets had. St. Edwards is a very strong team for district play and has been strong all season. The Green Wave from Elgin plays a very strong basketball schedule and takes on teams from about every conference in northern Illinois, including a Chicago school and Danville of the Big Eight. After playing fair ball against, St. Mary's in their first game of the tourney, they were extended to the limit and didn't gain victory until the last four minutes. The next night, against a fight- ] ing Panther team from Round Lake, it was th^ same story. Victory wasn't assured until the closing minutes. Both St. Mary's and Round Lake are rather weak teams and the Rockets were just following the trend of Richmond teams in tourney play. For years Richmond fans have been looking for a real tournament team and thought this might be the year after having such a good team last year and having top players back from last season. But it Wasn't. The defense the Rockets put up against St. Eds was one of Ladies Bowling Borre's are just barely hanging on to the lead in the ladies' division of the Richmond league. They won two last Thursday from Dicklin's and Twin Lakes won three from Wilmot. Irene Borre had a 432 series and Helen Klemstein had a 165-435. Phyllis was high for Wilmot with a 175 game. For Dicklin's, Joyce had a 160-437, and for Twin Lakes it was Elfrieda Meisel with 192-444.

Illinois The Republican Party Ballot will be White The Democratic Party Ballot will be Yellow ' Raymond D. Woods, County Clerk Soil Bank Plan. - Will It Work? Will the soil bank plan work? There are dozens of soil bank plans. Any one of them will "work" -- with a billion dollars behind it. More useful questions are: What soil bank plan? And how will it work? The soil bank plan proposed by the Administration consists . of two parts: (1) an acreage re& serve and (2) a conservation reserve. A farmer might participate in either or both parts of the plan, f 1. The acreage reserve is a conpanion program to the acreage allotments that are in effect for corn, wheat and other "basic" crops. A corn grower who wanted to participate in the acreage reserve program would plant less than his allotment of corn. Suppose, for example, that the farmer's corh allotment is 80 acres. He might plant only 65 acres to corn and place 15 acres in the/ reserve. He would not harvest any crop from these 15 acres nor g)raze any livestock on them. What benefits would the farmer receive for placing land in the acreage reserve ? 1. He would receive a cash payment larger than the average profit that would be made from growing corn. (One proposal is that the payment b^ set at % the loan rate times the average yield. Thus if the corn loan rate is $1.40 a bushel and the average yield is 60 bushels the payment would be 70 cents x 60, or $42.00 an acre.) This payment would be made regardless of crop failures on the farm. Therefore, it would provide some income insurance. 2. Another benefit to the corn growers would be higher prices for corn. Taking substantial acreages completely out of production would reduce the production of corn'and other feeds, and tend to lift prices of feeds and' eventually of meat animals, milk, poultry and eggs. II. The conservation reserve program is intended to take land out of crop production and get it planted to trees, or used for permanent range or water conservation. Under this program a farmer would enter into a contract for, say, five to ton vears. He would agree to plant some of his cropland to, trees, to develop a permanent pasture cr range, or to establish a water-conservation area. Any grazing would be limited so as not to injure the cover being established on the land. • Benefits to the farmer would Include (1) a cash payment to |bver most (perhaps1 80 per-cent) i|f the cost of planting, seeding, etc., (2) a yearly rental payment for, say, five to ten years until the new use for the land begin to produce son^e and (3) higher prices for feed crops and animal products that would come from restricting the production of feed. Costs of this soil bank plan are estimated at around one billion dollars a year. The administration has proposed that the cost of the program be met by selling surplus crops. now owned by the government, or by giving these crops in the place of cash to cooperating farmers. Opponents of the plan argue that disposal of government stocks in this way would depress market prices. The essential facts seem to be as follows: (1) The sale of government- owned stocks would be less than the crops that otherwise would be raised on the land taken out of production; Consequently the plan as a whole would tend to lift prices rather than to depress them. (2) Prices would tend to rise faster and quicker if the government supplied the money outright without selling any surplus crops. However, the surplus would remain undiminished to depress prices in later years.
