\ MRS. LORN A JONES College Student On Long Road To Fall, 1972) Goal Mrs. Lorna Jones, a student in the Secretarial Science program at McHenry County college, says it was reading about the Women's Lib movement in this country which changed her way of life. "I suddenly saw myself as an independent human being, not an 'old bag' or a 'whipping boy' for teen-agers and their problems - a real live human being with energies and a desire to learn and attempt new things." It was a long way from her native New Zealand to Crystal Lake, the concepts of Women's Lib, and, finally, MCC. L o r n a ' s e d u c a t i o n a l background is British and includes a New Zealand rural grade school, a small town high school in The Waikato (the farming area where she grew up), and a teachers'- college in Auckland, where she graduated after two years with a certificate that authorized her to teach in any grade school in New Zealand. * "I taught for about five years, mostly in country schools, before marrying Bruce O. Jones in 1945 and coming to the United States, which has been my home for the past twenty-six years." The Jones family was living near Toledo, Ohio, when "The Battle of the Budget," as she calls it, began. Lorna said, "Suddenly, it was time for our eldest daughter, Beverly, to go to college, and then in the next three or four years the two next in age, Helen and Richard, would be following. The Battle of the Budget changed into a real waging war." So she decided to look for a job and discovered that the education which had equipped her to teach in New Zealand's rural schools was worthless in the U.S. "With no skills, I clutched at the first straw and found work in a discount store," a job she did not like at all. "It was a form of slightly compen­ sated slavery, for which you got paid a nickel above the minimum wage and worked 44 hours a week, in­ cluding Saturday and Sunday." However, moving to Cary initiated a new phase in Lorna's life. She enrolled in an evening typing class, which was part of the adult education program at Crystal Lake high school. Armed with her new skills, she says she found the courage to go job hunting again. She went to work in the office of one of the big firms in this area and says she found adjusting to the routine of office work with few skills and little confidence quite difficult. It was at this point that MCC came into the pic­ ture. <*, Receiving a schedule for MCC's fall semester in the mail, Lorna gathered her courage together and enrolled in two evening courses for credit. She states, "I had two dif­ ferent teachers, Mr. James Wille and Miss Jeannette Van Vonderen. They pushed and bullied and coaxed us, but they "were always encouraging and always available for con­ ferences whether we were full- time or part-time students. They encouraged us to strive for higher quality work that would make us better em­ ployees." At present, Lorna is working part-time and taking nine credit hours of college courses. She says she considers herself one of those people who have to work hard to attain a goal. "I am plagued by a nervous temperament and sometimes I would like to be just sloppy and lazy and put my feet up and watch TV. "However, I can feel myself improving. I'm attacking new assignments with more in­ telligence but, at the same time, realize that I am still very raw material. "I have a long way to go, but I think that I shall stay on the course that I have set for myself - to get 30 credit hours by September, 1972."

You can provide that much protein per day by feeding each sow four pounds of a 12-percent protein ration, three pound of a 20-percent ration or V/z pounds of corn and one-half pound of a 36-percent protein supplement. Be certain your bred-sow ration also contains enough vitamins and minerals. Good sow rations that include plenty of vitamins, protein and minerals-and limited energy during the first 90 days of gestation-will help sows farrow big, strong litters. Size and vigor at birth indicate the pigs' chances of living until market time.
