f Thursday, March 22. 1962 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER ILLINOIS DAIRY PRODUCT EXPORTS TOP $320 MILLION Foreign markets are more important to Illinois farmers than to farmers of most other states. The main reason is that A Illinois is the leading producer * of soybeans and market corn, and large amounts of each are exported. . Of course", no one actually traces each bushel of corn and beans to see where it goes. But USDA estimates show that Illinois' share of U. S. farm exports was over $320 million in the year ending last June 30. According to the USDA figiires, Illinois ranked third among the states in total value of farm exports. California and Texas were first and second, with $477 million agd $447 million, respectively. Illinois farmers are in a favored position in the export market because they have lowcosl water transportation on the Illinois and Mississippi rivers and Lake Michigan and the St. Lawrence • river. Soybeans are Illinois" most important agricultural export. In the 1960-61 marketing year we. the United States, exported about 130 million bushels of soybeans, plus the oil from 68 million bushels and the meal from 25 million bushels. The leading foreign buyers for our Use Canned Condensed Tomato Soup For An Italian Treat Mil soybeans are Japan, Germany, the Netherlands and Canada. Soybeans are sold largely on a "cash-and-carry" basis. Our foreign customers come in, outbid domestic buyers, pay cash, load the beans on their boats and take them away. This is in sharp contrast with exports of wheat, which are heavily subsidized under our price sup-' port and foreign aid programs. Corn exports, too, are largely "cash and carry." Only small amounts are exported under price support and foreign aid programs. In the 1960-61 marketing year, exports of corn totaled 276 million bushels. Several million more bushels of corn were exported in the form of mixed feeds and other products. Leading customers for our corn are the United Kingdom (England, etc.) the Netherlands, Canada, Japan, Belgium and Germany. Several farmers' groups and some branches of the United States Department of Agriculture are working effectively to expand the foreign markets for our soybeans, corn and other farm products. Their efforts, however, will be Jar^ely wasted if our prices are raised above competitive world levels. Raising our prices above world levels will have another important effect it will increase imports. For each $1 worth of agricultural products exported last year, our merchants bought thirty-six cents' worth of sugar, meats, tobacco, fruits, vegetables, oilseeds, vegetable oils, dairy products, hides and skins, wool. etc. Official records show .that when our prices rise imports increase. . • « The point is thqt-by raising prices we would materially reduce our sales, both abroad and at home. The loss vVould become progressively greater /as competitive sources of supplybecame more productive. L. H.

For the over twenty members who witnessed this event, *1 need not say who this man was, but for the few members who were not present I'll dedicate the rest of this article. The contest was won by a man whose perseverence imagination and technical good photography was just too hard to beat. When the contest originally started over a year ago a few of us voiced our supposed superior abilities would overtake this man before the contest ended. The contest is over and Jack Salika. president of the McHenry Camera club showed jus all (especially in this final contest) that action speaks louder then voiced opinions. Jack walked off with all the honors in the black and white' contest (the first time this has happened in one contest) with three excellent action shots which I personally thought were tremendous. The first place shot was the action of hot sparks flying from a piece of steel running through a grinder, the second was a shower sequence, and the third a dance with small lights. The judges were Michael Tremont, John Weber, and Don Maute. Jack set some high standards this year. He really worked for this honor of top man, and no one more richly deserves it. The club . is grateful to the officers who made this past year as enjoyable as it was. President Jack Salika, who did much more than the office really11 required: Vice-President Joe Hudetz, whose, construction of the club voting system will be hard to forget in coming years; and Executive Advisor Mike-. Brown, whose advice and guidance i from the experience of being the- previous president) has been a constant aid to both Jack and Joe. and indirectly to Ihe club. Last but not least our treasurer. Casper Ehlen. who has held this office from the beginning of the club three years ago.

The Drivers Seat Student grades in high school anci college may, „at first thought, seem to bear little relation to the cost of auton/iobile insurance. However, ihe country's largest autorrWoile insurer has related the--two in a manner that can mean substantial insurance savings for qualified students who maintain good grades. One leading insurance company has announced that a 20 per cent reduction in automobile insurance is available to high school and college students wjio have better than average scholastic records. The insurance discount applies to unmarried, male students between 16 and 25 years old - the group that has the highest rates for automobile insurance, sometimes four and a half times as much as normal rates. This reduction is offered liecause good students spend more time studying than they do on the highway and thus are less exposed to possible accidents. according to statistics. The company said this time spent in study and the consequent reduced exposure to accidents should be rewarded by lower lates. Girls are not included in this "Good Student" discount plan because they already benefit from lower automobile insurance rates. To qualify for the rate reduction, a student must be attending high school oV college, be between the ages of 16 and 25. unmarried and meet one of the following conditions: rank in the top 20 fier cent of his class, have a "H" average or above, have a 3.0 average based on a 4.0 scale, or be on the dean's list or similar honor roll.. ' I The "Good Student" discount j plan has been offered in California and the company plans I to reqinM approval from other ;st:Me insurance departments. !

McHenry Hospital Auxiliary News At the risk of sounding monotonous, we again stress service as the keynote of the McHenry hospital Women's auxiliary. In this regard we point with pride to Mrs. Alex Justen, who for years has been in charge of staffing the reception desk at the hospital and has put in many hours at this job. It requires 2 hours "m the afternoon from 2 to 4 o'clock and an hour and a half in the evening, from 7 till 8:80. Help is badly needed and if you can volunteer 2 hours please call Mrs. Justen. There are so many women in the auxiliary who give unstintingly of themselves in time and effort that it is hard to make mention of them all. However., these women make up about half of the membership.- There must be others who would like to be active. Maybe »ypu jy£t haven't been asked.

Keen Interest Evident In Harrison School Election 4 MAX E. WII.DMAN Meet and Hear MAX E. Republican Candidate for Representative . From The 12th Congressional District LEGION HALL Wednesday, March 28 1:30 p.m. \ REFRESHMENTS WILL BE SERVED UNITED STATES* 12 * ITH , DTST. PRIBLA Treasurer Why vote tor a man from the smaller county? Why will a Congressman from the smaller county more likely give better representation that will a Congressman from a larger county in a distrirt? Bill Carroll answered that question in a recent quest ion-and-answer session as he discussed the race for U. S. Congress from the new 12th district. The man from the smaller county is. in close touch with citizens from all counties -- in this case from ail three counties (Boone. Lake and McHenry counties > --- because he needs the voting support from all three counties to gain re-election in two years. Bill Carroll is the only candidate from Boone and McHenry counties, the small counii.es in the 12th district. All seven oilier candidates for the Republican nominationvhye in Lake county. Bill Carroll long has been active in all three counties and wants to represent all citizens in all three counties. To be assured of full representation in Congress, on April 10 vote for Two more candidates for the Harrison District 36 school board have been announced, Gerald Palko and William Cristy. This brings to five the number seeking election to three, 3-year terms to be filled in the April 14 election. It is understood two other petitions are being circulated. Previously announced candidates are incumbents Dr. Raymond IJ. Watkins and Dr. S. L. Ruggero. and Mrs. Jay Hansen, who is seeking a new term. Dr. Watkins, president, is completing ihree successive terms, and Dr. Ruggero his first. A third board member. Mrs. Maxine Lighty. is not seeking re-election. St Meri F. Thomas^ Harrison superintendent, was designated by the board to make arrangements for election judges. He indicated these probably would be the same who served previously. Palko Avas introduced at the board meeting by George Rink in the absence of Dr. Watkins. He commented that as a candidate he was present to become familiar with board functions. The election is attracting more than usual interest in terms of candidates. One petition presented by James L. Gianola was invalidated because of residency requirements. Thomas noted that 4he student council, composetr^-pf representatives of the fourth through eighth grades;--and faculty advisers have, revised its constitution. Council officers now will be elected in spring, ready to conduct their affairs at opening of school in fall. Turning to business affairs, Thomas reported that the school bus leasing term expires this year. A new contract contains an upward revision of $100 per bus, or 5 per cent increase, to cover increased operating and maintenance costs of the leasee. This brings to $4,200 per' year Stlie district's cost for two J buses, which the board ap- [prove d. notihg advantages I which include new vehicles | each year. , Thomas noted that teacher I contracts have. been isubtnit- | ted, four already signed and j returned.-"Of the outstanding. | no resignations or refusals are ! indicated. j Board members are reviewing the contract covering- use j of school facilities.
