He said he was unable to see her car because of a truck on the inside lane. Damage was reported to both cars. .. On Saturday evening at 10:35 p.m., two cars collided on Elm sireet, in front of the Mc- Henry Savings & Loan building. Police say John Rick of Count ry Club subdivision, McHenry, was in the outside lane and attempted to swing into the inside lane, striking Emily Lowery of Chicago, who was on the inside, preparing to ' make a left turn. There were no injuries, and ©nl^ minor damage to the cars. Earlier last week, cars driven by Frank Marcyan of Rt 1, McHenry* and Richard Wirtz of Edgebrook Heights were involved in a collision at , the corner of Riverside Drive and Elm street. . . „ Officers whoinvestigated say""" that Marcyan, driving west, was turning into the Holly gas station when his car was hit by Wirtz, who was coming out of the station. There were no injuries in the accident, which occurred. at 7:15 p.m. Motorcyclist Hurt Lec Spuehr, 18, of Wonder Lake suffered an injured leg when his motorcycle ran into the rear of an auto on Rt. 120, west cf McHenry, at 3:10 p.m. Sunday. The driver of the car was CamiMe Starandio of Wonder Lake, who had signalled to make a right turn, according to state police. Four cars.were involved in a chain reaction accident a mile south of Richmond, on Rt. 31, at 5:30 Wednesday morning. There were no injuries, but the fourth car was so badly damaged it had to be towed away. Three drivers were from Wisconsin and the third was a Chicagoan. Four motorists were reported injured early Sunday when a car driven by Donald Sandblom of Dundee went out of control and knocked down a highway sign on Rt. 176, near Griswold Lake road. The auto was said to have travelled a considerable distance before crashing into a ditch. Passengers in the car were Margaret Schmidt of Elgin, Russell Thrun and Patricia Medina of Carpentersville.

Our country Ls the world's biggest producer of food -- it raises 24 per cent of the world's meat, 37 per cent of its cotton and 53 per cent of the corn. We also generate almost half the world power output and produce 63 per cent of all passenger autos. Maybe this isn't enough to give us reason to completely relax, but it does help. K. A. F.

TAG DAY NEXT SATURDAY FOR CHILDREN'S HOME Continued from Page 1 kind within McHenry county. It is seeking to serve dependent children during their youthful years and to return them to society as strong, wellequipped and oriented citizens. The home gives preference to the boys and girls of McHenry county, regardless of church or religious background. During its many years of operation in Woodstock, over 3,000 children have been ministered to, with several hundred of these coming from the county. Presently, about one-fifth of the boys and girls in the home are from within McHenry county. Last year's total county gifts were under the cost to the home in providing for the children from the county. The home is. not underwritten nor endowed by any individual, church or group. Only about one-third of the operational costs come from childcare sources. This means that about two-thirds of the budget must be raised from contributions of interested friends and organizations. All of the money contributed goes into the home operation. There are no outside fund raisers or high fund raising costs. Most of the several thousand dollars of its annual budget are returned to the local community and county businesses. EDNA TRETTIN Mrs. Edna Trettin of Wonder Lake died Sunday, Oct. 9. She is survived by her husband, Walter; a son, George, and two grandchildren. Services were held in Evanston. There has ^ been much said about the ever increasing taxes and their reasons for same. The one that is used the most is. increased expenses because of increased services to larger populations. I live in a little village called Lakemoor, population 650. Taxes have increased every year, also tax rates and valuations. There has been very little increase in population, if any. Are the roads, police protection, water, sewers, in fact any of these increased expenses that we are told about given to us by the county? We, the ones who live here, bear that expense ourselves. Why thw the continued increase? As for increased expenses b e c a u s e o f p o p u l a t i o n , w h a t about the added homes where there were farms with very little income compared to the amount taxes collected foxhomes? A fair tax is what the house would rent for by the month -- one month's rent. A personal property tax of from $2 tb $5 per year per family, supervised by reliable people, in my opinion would be paid without any trouble and much more collected. Has it come to pass that persons can be deputized to e n t e r y o u r home a n d t a k e what may be sold at auction for what they say is owed? Are we trying to outmatch Khrushchev and Casrtro? What a way to curtail business. Who in his right mind would replace his car. his radio, his television or anything when he will be taxed every year for same or it will be taken from him. I dare anyone up for reelection of either label to state what he will do about the shameful p*»H»h»l tax forced on some and others never even getting a bill. Was this ever passed fin legislation? To my knowledge ft was just a resolution passed in 1870 amd now it has become a bludgeon for a harassed public.

FREUND, Mayor Plan Report Highlights Continued from Page 1 probability of pressures increasing for property owners to exercise their legal rights and re-sell unused lots for additional home construction as municipal facilities are extended into the surrounding areas. The potential of population growth from this source alone could more than double the present population in the planning area, it points out. Consideration was given to attempt the control of these combined lot developments to prohibit their re-sale through larger lot size zoning and appropriate provisions to require conformity to the new zoning s t a n d a r d w h e r e p o s s i b l e through combined lot ownership. However, they found that where this possibility did exist -- to increase lot size -- the situation was such thai,the effect would be insignificant as far as the future population was concerned. SEPTEMBER ACCIDENTS Highway accidents in Illinois during September accounted for 152 lost lives, Gov. William G. Stratton announced last week. Despite a rash of .fi}t£lk ties during the last two weeks of September, 77 fewer lives were lost during the first pine months of 1960 than during the same period in 1959, for a six per cent reduction. If this record can be maintained for,,the r#>"->pmder of the year, Illinois will be the only major slate in the nation to show a continuous reduction for five consecutive years. During the first nine months, 1,188 were killed as compared to 1,265 a year ago. Improved Ho?' Prices Seen The outlook for hog producers over the next twelve months continues to be favorable. This conclusion is based on a study of the USDA quarterly Pig Crop Report that was released late in September. There is a good chance, we believe, that prices of hogs will continue fit profitable levels in late 1961 and through much of 1962. But this is only an opinion. Let's get back, tp the figures in the government report. This report covers ten corn-belt states that produce 73 percent of the nation's hogs. FEWER HOGS ON FARMS. Farmers in these, states had 13 percent fewer hogs 3 to 6 months old on hand Sept. 1 than they had a year before. These hogs will make up most of the marKet supply during October, November and December. Prices in these months this year seem likely to stay well above the $12 to $13 averages of 1939. . Also, on Sept. 1 farmers had 7 percent fewfer hogs under 3 months old than they had a year before. This points to correspondingly smaller market supplies in January, February and March than we had last winter. Thus the prospective cut in winter marketings, probably 5 to 10 percent, Will give strong support to!iprices in the first quarter of 1961. FARROWINGS MAY INCREASE A LITTLE. Farmers reporting to the government indicated that they planned to increase sow farrowings in September, October and November by 3 percent over last fall. The number of pigs saved may increase more than 3 percent, since death losses were unusually large in the corresponding months last year. From these farrowing forecasts we can speculate that market supplies ai\d prices may be somewhat the same next spring as they were, this past spring. Prices of barrows and gilts last April, May and June averaged around $16 a hundred pounds at midwest terminal markets. Looking further into the future, the farmers said that they expected to increase win- [ter farrowings (December, January and February) by 4 percent over those of twelve months before. Such an increase would still leave winter farrowings at a comparatively low level, because farmers cut farrowings last winter by. 19 percent from the previous year. • An increase of only 4 percent would leave the number of winter pigs far below the number produced two years before and marketed in the summer of 1959. As of now, prices next summer seem likely to compare favorably with the $15 average recorded in 1959 or the $17 average of this past summer. There is as yet no sign that farmers will press hog marketings late in 1961 to the big volume that brought the low prices of last fa,Il. L. H. Simerl Department of Agricultural Economics TAXJACTS The inequity of assessing a property worth $10,000 in one township at $2,500, and another of equal value at $5,000 in another township of the same county, may be corrected under Illinois statutes. Various county officials, in addition to boards of review and appeal, have certain revisionary powers over assessments made by local assessors. One of these officials is the county treasurer, who is exofficio supervisor of assessments in all counties under township organization except Cook, any county hiaving an elected board of assessors, or any county where a fgiipervisor of assessments has been appointed by the county board. The county assessor of Cook county is elected and has certain revisionary powers. When a county reaches 150,000 population but less than 500,000, the county board may by resolution submit to the voters the question of whether a board of assessors of five members ghould be , elected, (only St. Clair county has created this board). The office of supervisor of assessments may be created in all downstate towniihip organization coonties, and the office of county assessor in all downstate commission organization counties, by action of the county boards. Thirty-seven counties have created this office. The supervisor of assessments may charge or correct an a s s e s s m e n t m a d e by a township assessor in the spaces provided for this in the assessment books. If the change results in an increase, the taxpayer affected must be given an opportunity to be heard. However, the Illinois Supreme. Court hasT held that publication of the assessment list as required by law and the opportunity to be. heard thereafter by the board of review satisfy this requirement of due process off law. % The board of assessors of St. Clair county meets the first Monday of June each year to revise the assessments of real property and on the third Mon^ day of June each year to revise the assessment of personal property. Upon application m the taxpayer, or upon its own motion, the board of assessors may revise the assessments to the extent it deems just. In Cook county, the offfce o f c o u n t y a s s e s s o r h a s b e e n established and the township assessors are ex-officio deputy assessors under his direction. The Cook county assessor-may annually revise and correct a* sessments that appear to him to need revision. Alaska has some 500 varieties of wild shrubs, flowers and ferns. REMEMBER ...
