Watson of Crystal Lake; vice-president^ and program chairman, Mrs. Jaunes Hecht of Woodstock; secretary and news letter editor, Mrs. William Carroll of Woodstock; treasurer, Mrs. George SMnkle of Crystal Lake; publicity chairman, Mrs. Maurice Watson of Crystal Lake. While the first two are succeeding Mrs. Kenneth FiskeJr. of Woodstock and James Pearson of Ringwcod, the latter three are continuing in the same offices they were already holding. Next month's meeting will be the first over which the new president will preside. It is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 10, at 8 p.m. in the McHenry County Farm Bureau building, 11909 McConnell road, Woodstock. Norbert Ziemer, director of the Outdoor Education center in Crystal Lake, will explain its program and also narrate a film showing outdoor education activities on the Lorado Taft Campus of Northern Illinois university at Oregon, with bird watching and conservation work given importance. A large attendance of members is anticipated and guests will be cordially, welcome, with grade school and high school teachers of this area especially invited. In the tribute paid to Mrs. Fiske at the annual meeting, Helmut Bruchmann of Woodstock, recognizing how successful an organization the Mc- .Iwiiry county bird club is, compared it to a platoon "which is only as good as its serge-, ant". Then Mrs. Carroll, presenting a gift to Darlene Fiske on behalf of the club, gave statistics to show just how good this "sergeant" has been. It was Mrs. Fiske who early in 1961 l«*f+ notes at several places where bird food was sold, asking that anyone interested in the formation of a bird club get in touch with. her. She and seven others -- Anne Carroll, Leta and Alice Clark, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Barber (all still mem- tsrs of the club), Mrs. Wilam Tittle and Mrsi Jean Livengood, all of whom resided in oodstock at that time - joined s. Fiske to make the first ield trip in April, 1961. ' During the three years of her leadership, membership has risen from less than 70 to 154, the last year having added twenty-four to the roster. This energetic executive guided the group into becoming a chapter of Illinois Audubon society in 1965 and into undertaking worthy projects. In her turn, Mrs. Fiske lauded the club for its spirit of great fellowship and fun, and spoke of the "many blessings" those living in this area enjoy. She indicated further contributions this club and others inthe state can make to conservation. As vice-president in charge of extension for the state Audubon society, she is organizing and inspiring new clubs. It was pointed out that in one report for the third year the number of commemorative stamps collected by the Mci- Henry county club has far exceeded the total of any other club in the United States. They even surpassed the 14,388 they accumulated in 1966 by gathering 18,116 during 1967. These stamps are sent to the Florida Audubon society to be sold by them to collectors for funds used in Bald Eagle research and in establishing sanctuaries for this endangered species. The darks' nesting Census also pointed the liveliness of the McHenry county club, for in the six years of its existence it has four times stood highest in the number of reports sent to the state society and in a fifty year was secondhighest, and it has four times had the greatest number of observers. Carl 0. Sands of Cary is the club's most successful raiser of bluebirds. From ten boxes he put 15), twenty-nine birds were fledged. All the very first bluebird eggs iroze out in the cold spring. "I shall have no more wren houses," he vows, explaining, "The wrens insist on pecking holes in any and all eggs of the bluebird houses within striking distance of our - ^ home." * Kenneth Fiske invited all to £ attend the annual meeting of the 'Soil and Water Conservation district on Feb. 3, in the United Church of Christ-Congregational at Huntley. A roast idbeef dinner will be served at... '7 :30 p.m. to be followed by. a program. For the first time, planning maps, with all resources interpreted for future development, will be displayed for Grafton township of McHenry county. Mrs. Homer Mann of Woodstock, a club member, gave a talk on "Pigeons", which captured the close attention of her audience and delighted them with its climax of six live birds displayed by Mr. Mann. Pigeon raisers and trainers for many years, she and her hus- ^ buiid currently have 888. PUBLIC PULSE (The Plaindealer invites the public to use this column as an expression of their views on subjects of general interest in our community. Our only request is that writers limit themselves to 300 words or less signature, full address and phone number. We ask, too, that one individual not write on the same subject more than once each month. We reserve the right to delete any material which we consider libelous or in objectionable taste.) THREE LITTLE WORDS "Baa/ Editor: "We who have survived until this year 1968 find that there are three words in the English language that have become prominent - Taxes, sex and crime. These words are used on television, radio, magazines, movies, in fact, wherever the printed word is needed to attract the patronage of the public. "Of course, without all of these conditions there would be very little news, and as the population increases there will be more to write about. But in my opinion there is one remedy very effective that I want to mention in order to try and help a little. I come from a family of ten children. My mother had a leather strap hanging from a nail between the dining room and the kitchen. When we did not do as we were told, all she had to do was to look at the strap and she got action. How can we expect the so call teenagers to think square when sex is constantly displayed and praised in all forms of nudity wherever we lode and read* "Criminals are encouraged by laws that condone because of so-called state of mind. "Students who are just being taught what the professors took years Jp learn, picket and demand to run the schools their way. And last but not least, taxes, ^improvements dreamed up by certain citizens for private gain for many gimmicks that we can do without until we can afford them. There is a leak in the dike somewhere and we need someone like the little boy in Holland, who kept his finger in the hole until help came. "Think this over. A house.no matter how attractive, will soon collapse if the foundation is weak. But if the foundation is strong improvement of whatever is needed, advocated by sincere citizens will stop an increase in the taxes and raise the morale of everyone. "Mrs. Nettie Sarley, "Lakemoor" Tax Facts Illinois taxpayers may use a state sales tax table as a guide in preparing their 1967 Federal income tax returns. The table is included in the instruction booklet mailed to taxpayers, according to E.C. Coyle, Jr., District Director of Internal Revenue. The table is based on consumer spending patterns and shows the average amount of state sales tax paid by Illinois residents. It may be used by taxpayers who itemize their federal income tax deductions. State sales tax on automobiles purchased is not included in the table. Taxpayers who purchased an automobile may add deductible sales taxes paid on the purchase to the amount shown in the table. Taxpayers are not required to use the table, Mr. Coyle pointed out. The table is furnished as a guide for the convenience of taxpayersnwho want to deduct a "standard" amount for state sales tax, which does not require detailed substantiation. Taxpayers who choose to do so, can deduct the actual amount of state sales taxes paid during the year. ATTEND WORKSHOP Baird & Warner's twentyfourth branch office sales managers attended the Real Estate Sales Management workshop conducted Jan. 23 and 24 at the Palmer House by.Bob Conklin. The two-day intfen-" sive seminar is held under the sponsorship of the Education committee of the Chicago Real Estate board.
