PAGE 5-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 1972 Wonder Lake Mary Jean Huff Sister Lawrence Honored Before European Trip About thirty-four people attended a farewell luncheon for Sister Lawrence of Christ the King religion center, who will be leaving for Europe on April 10. The luncheon was held at the church hall on Thursday, March 30. Though it wps a marshmallow world of winter outside, spring flowers gaily decorated the tables inside. Each person brought a dish to pass and Sister was presented with a gift of various coins from the countries she will visit. Pat FYechette and Kay Gibbons were co-hostesses of the event. Sster's visit to Europe is a part of a renewal program for sisters of the Cenacle Order who wish it. The Oenacle retreat houses were started in Ftance in I826and first came to the United States about 189 Sister Lawrence will be ob­ serving retreat houses in Amsterdam, Holland; Dublin, Ireland; London, England; Paris and Lyon, France and Rome, Italy. She hopes to visit the tomb d the mother foun­ dress of the Oenacle order, St. Therese, in Lyon, France. St. Therese was canonized only two years ago. In Rome, she will visit the Vatican and also shrines in Assisi and Genoa. Upon her return to the States after her two month trip to Europe, Sister Lawrence, who has spent her religious lifetime in retreat work, will assist in giving retreats during June and July in Spokane, Wash. Mon- signor David Rosage is in charge of the Immaculate Heart d Mary retreat house there. During the month of August there will be a 30 day re treat for sisters at which time Sster Lawrence will work with one person on a one to one basis for spiritual direction. YOUNG AT HEARTS Those traveling old timers were at it again on Monday, March 27. This trip took the Young at Hearts to the Jewel in Barrington, Haeger Pottery in Dundee and dinner at the Jfcvedish Manor. A lovely time was had by all, especially those who went back for seconds and thirds at the smorgasbord table Because the members are working hard for the spring festival arid bake sale which will be on Sa turday, April 29, a t Christ the King parish hall, starting at 9 a.m., there will be no trip in April. Come May, they'll be off again, this time to Milwaukee. A re-visit to the Museum which they enjoyed so much on their last trip to the Brewery City is scheduled. Arrangements are being made by President Marie Robinson for the trip to Detroit and Ontario in June.

Well, for one thing, our population has so increased that the phone company has run out of new numbers to assign. As a result we now have a new telephone exchange in Wonder Lake - 728. One of the families assigned a new number in the 728 exchange is the Don Huff gang - so, when you call to report news for the Plaindealer, please call our new number, 728-0267, effective April 4. We thank you. Oh where, Oh where has my little cat gone? Oh where, Oh where can he be? Is that the tune you're singing these days? ff so, I may have your answer. I received a phone call the other night from a lady in Mc Henry who has been taking care of a male, unclawed, Siamese cat. The cat was found under a porch in Wonder Lake about three weeks ago and appeared nearly starved. This kind lady who has been feeding and caring for the cat is anxious to find his owner and after trying every other possible means, is trying this column as a last resort. She describes him as a really handsome specimen, in­ dependent and kinda feisty (like some other males I know). At arty rate, he's a prize, so if he's yours, give me a call and we'll try to bring the family back together. First Keyholes? The Greeks invented locks that could be opened from the other side of the doors through the world's first keyholes. And now a word about H&R Block's competition. Because we think our competition represents more of a threat to you than it does to us, we're going to help you sort them out. Your Family The greatest people in the world. Most of the time. Unfortunately, most of the time doesn't include income tax time. Because the last thing you need when you're doing your taxes is an aunt who took an accounting course just before she dropped out of college. Or a father who thinks how much money you make and what you do with it is something the rest of the family should know about. Your Neighbors You know the type. The mild-man- nered shoe salesman next door who suddenly turns into a mathematical genius just about the time income tax is due. He knows all the angles. Some of which even the Internal Revenue Service doesn't know about yet. And he's willing to share them with you, "Just to be neighborly." You Your own worst enemy. All year long you can't balance your check book, but that doesn't stop you. Armed with your W-2's, a few reams of paper and a couple of gallons of coffee you bravely attack that stack of forms. You may be taking deductions you're not entitled to, and entitled to deductions you're not tak­ ing. So, should you be doing your own taxes? Us We're H&R Block, with over 6,000 conveniently located offices manned by thousands of specially trained tax preparers who eat, sleep, and drink in come tax returns. People who set out to save you money and much of the time do it. The cost? Fees start at $5 and the average cost was under $12.50 for over 7 million customers we served last year. Furthermore, if your return is audited we will accompany you, at no extra cost, to the Internal Revenue Service and explain how your return was pre­ pared, even though we will not act as your legal representative. And everyone is eligible to receive our year 'round service which is covered by our one time fee. No extra charge for help with audits, estimates, or tax questions. We know the people we've just told you about will do your income tax return for less than we can but we don't think you can afford them. DONT LET AN AMATEUR DO H*R BLOCK'S JOB. H&R Block. The income tax people. 9 AM 9 PM WEEKDAYS 9 AM-5PM SATURDAYS & SUNDAYS - OPEN TONIGHT Phone 815-385-8630 NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY 3911 MAIN McHENRY I . iitUL McCLORY REPORTS From Washington The spread of big business into rural America has reached the point where large corporate farm operations may soon be subjected to our Antitrust laws. In addition to the enlargement of the family farm from one of 160 acres to one of 1,000 acres or more, certain large cor­ porations have established extensive farm operations involving tens of thousands of acres with investments measured in millions of dollars. A bill pending before the House Judiciary committee would amend the Clayton Antitrust Act by prohibiting agriculturally-related bus­ inesses with assets of $3 million or more from engaging in farming activities. The measure, intended to preserve the "family farm," is one of a series cf efforts intended to restrain agribusiness or big industrial farm operations - and particularly to halt oil, chemical, and food processing firms from engaging in large- scale farming operations. The entry of conglomerate corporations intu agriculture has raised additional fears. It is reported that the giant oil conglomerate "Tenneco," which has assets of more than $4 billion, has acquired some 2 million acres of land which it farms successfully. Profits are reported to have hit more than $22 million in 1970. Such conglomerate corporations have the advantages of af­ filiated cotporate units which furnish such related products as farm machinery and fer­ tilizer as well as the services (rf their processing, packaging, and marketing divisions. While corporate farm operations are only a minor cause for disappearance of the family farm, the current attack on corporate farming serves to highlights the change which is occurring in American agriculture and provides a convenient whipping boy. While the proposed legislation is directed against large profit- making corporations, it would exempt other giant firms owned by charitable and educational institutions and would approve the anti­ competitive activities of farm cooperatives. The overall farm population cf the country has decreased during the past 30years from 32 million to about 10 million farmers. Indeed, it is reported that today more than one-third cf the food in the nation is produced on fewer than 50,000 farms. Returning more people to the farm may be desirable but it is clearly an impassible task. On the other hand, we may find that by encouraging a greater measure of independence among farm operators - be they large or small - we may succeed in retarding the trend toward large commercial farms and retention of the family farm concept. Contractual arrangements between family farmers and large processors of livestock, milk and other agricultural products appear to remain at a fairly constant level. Mean­ while, there is a continuing growth of farmers' marketing cooperatives -- which are exempted from our Antitrust laws. Hearings on the pending measure which began last week in Washington before the House Judiciary Antitrust sub­ committee will continue during the next several weeks. But don't hold your breath. There is little prospect of action on the measure in this Congress. HARDWARE STORtS AT NYE'S!
