(DON PEASLEY PHOTO) Area Livestock Feeders Hold Annual Meet Livestock farmers are anxious to learn ways to produce meatier animals so housewives will continue to find the most nutritious possible cuts of meats at grocery stores and meat markets, Paul Kruse, outgoing president, said as he complimented members of the McHenry County Livestock Feeders association at last week's annual meeting. In the closing minutes of their meeting at Woodstock, members discussed how to inform housewives of the outstanding quality, excellent nutritional value, and excellent dollar value available every day when they purchase beef, pork and lamb. "The only thing we have to sell is quality. Quality enhances our product, and it is up to farmers--the men who raise the animals - to carry the brunt of communicating this in­ formation to the public," asserted Alexander MacAr- thur, member of the association from Barrington Hills. Several others agreed that a positive promotion of stressing such features as the high protein content of meat, the variety of economical meals available from lamb, pork and beef cuts, and the assistance readily available in what meat cuts to choose from qualified home economists is needed. "In agriculture, we find ourselves on the defensive too often, responding to ill-founded charges by people unfamiliar with the investment and responsibilities of farming," said Arnold May, Richmond cattle feeder. "We want to tell more about farmers' con­ tributions to a healthy America." Homer White, Antioch, was elected president, and Don Stoxen, Harvard, was elected vice-president. Dan Walters, Hebron, was reelected secretary-treasurer. Other directors include Victor Miller, Howard Pihl, Gene Meyer, Erhardt Schultz, Wayne Hall, Dick Waiters, Lyle Luedtke, Stewart and Charles Wilson. The feeders discussed the new federal regulation for cattle and sheep fed stilbestrol. This regulation makes it mandatory for all meat sold for human consumption to be certified free of any stilbestrol residue. Proper procedure and how to fill out necessary forms was outlined by Kruse. Federal Health and Oc­ cupation act does affect far­ mers, Bob Gilmore, DeKalb, director of the national feeders organization, told his audience. He reported on progress of the new livestock market at Joliet and said it sets the price pat­ tern for cattle marketed in this area. Larry Jordan, representative of the Dow Chemical company, discussed infectious diseases in livestock and evaluated the prevalence of viruses this winter. Members directed the board to look into an appropriate public relations program to inform members on the merits of their products and the contributions of farmers.

Here & There In BUSINESS Large Sum To County For New Bel l Equipment With an eye to modernization and improved service, in 1971 Illinois Bell introduced major equipment advancements and added cable at an un­ precedented rate. Statewide, the company spent about $381 million on construction - the second straight year Illinois Bell spent more than $1 million a day to provide, expand and improve service. A portion of that $381 million went for new equipment and cable serving McHenry county telephone customers. • The number of telephones in McHenry reached 13,500 in 1971, a gain of 860 over 1970, Jozwiak said. Jozwiak said Illinois Bell and its Bell System partners con­ tributed almost $2 million to the economy of McHenry during the past year, including local purchases by the Western Electric Co., the manufac­ turing and supply arm of the Bell System. This includes more than a million dollars in wage payments to Illinois Bell em­ ployees in McHenry and more than $55,000 for local property taxes. Other local expenditures -- which include Western Electric purchases, recurring rent payments and public telephone commissions amounted to almost three quarters of a million dollars. In 1971, Illinois Bell con­ verted 4,200 of its public phones to "dial tone first," enabling users to get a dial tone and make emergency calls without first depositing a coin. The company plans to have all of its 90,000 public phones converted to "dial tone first" by the end of 1979. Crystal Lake, McHenry and Woodstock are scheduled to have "dial tone first" in 1972.
