/ * ; ' v » ' t SCHOOL VOLUNTEERS RECOGNIZED-Shown above, being addressed by School District 15 superintendent, Dr. Robert Boos, standing, are volunteers who were singled out for special recognition lafst Friday morning. About fifty-five in number, they were presented with certificates of appreciation for help in many areas of activity. Some assisted in classes, others helped in the cafeteria or with basketball teams. They worked in all buildings within the district. It was the first time such recognition has ever been given in the McHenry school system. (Staff Photo - Wayne Gay lord) Five For Achievement At Southern State Citations for outstanding academic achievement went to nearly 2,000 Southern Illinois university-Carbondale students at the annual Honors day convocation held recently.

PAGE 9-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 1973 From The Farm T) lie %Votl y true Dads, a boy like Billy will usually prefer to spend 6 weekends with you at local vacation spots or nearby farm ponds, in contrast to a 2,000- mile auto tour of the U.S.A. So don't hoard your vacation for a mere 2-week period in August. Distribute it by surprise weekend outings with your entire family. By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE K-546: Billy F., aged 7, is an alert only child. "Dr. Crane," his daddy asked, "don't you think it would be very educational if we took our August vacation and drove to visit the scenic spots in America? "Wouldn't this help Billy in his school work, for he is rather s^iy and inclined to be a book worm? "If he could excel more in his studies, wouldn't he gain in popularity?" TEST FOR PARENTS Yes, a transcontinental auto tour can be definitely educational to everybody. And that is doubly true when kiddies reach Junior High. But it is unduly confining to keep a youngster seated in a car for 500 miles per day. So I'd suggest weekend vacations with Billy where his daddy would take him fishing or to a ball game or a carnival, etc. Too many of you busy dads try to save up your fraternizing with your kiddies till a certain future 2-weeks. Then you think you can "gorge" the youngsters in fun and camaraderie. But children prefer your companionship more often, even if in smaller "doses". And please don't grow enamoured of big distant lakes, maybe 1,000 miles away. A small creek or farm pond of but one acre will give the youngsters almost all the ex­ citement of the ocean or our five Great Lakes. Besides, the smaller vacation spots are usually closer home so you can probably visit them within a few hours' drive on Friday afternoon. Take your family camping for the weekend at a state park nearby. Go fishing with the kiddies, for they enjoy catching min­ nows as much as you adults relish landing "whales". Go swimming" with your children and then teach each one how to swim. But don't nag or act "bossy". Be casual in your dealing with youngsters. Play catch with a child like Billy so he becomes muscularlv coordinated and dextrous with his hands. Pitch the ball to him and see if he can learn how to hit fly balls back to you. Then vice versa. Also, get a football and throw him forward passes, for Billy's prestige will rise much faster when he can perform creditably at the games and sports of his own age group. You fond mammas and papas may relish making him an "A" pupil in school, but other classmates often present such bright scholars and disdain­ fully call them a "Brain". It is splendid to help your child win top grades but not at the expense of his athletic and social development. Moreover, you parents of an only child should give him a baby brother or sister within at least 18 months of his birth. If you leave a much greater gap in their sequence, they don't have as much in common, so both develop the outlook of "only" children. And if you must take long auto trips with kiddies, send for my booklet "Games for Children," enclosing a stam­ ped, return envelope, plus 20 cents. It should be kept in your auto for use on trips, for children grow jittery when cooped up in the back seat with few outlets for their surplus energy! Bill Jias been "blackmailing" his devoted but foolish parents for at least 15 years! Their last pay-off is a new car for him. Yet he doesn't fulfill even 2 of the 5 minimum requirements demanded of teen-agers before they should have access to any automobile! So use the tests below to measure emotional maturity! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE L-514: Bill G., aged 16, is a problem. "Dr. Crane," his worried mother began, "Bill doesn't want to go to school. "He has run away from home for the third time this year. "BuF'we have given him everything we could afford, for we aren't rich. "His daddy even bought him his own car a month ago, but Bill thinks we have no right to tell him when to come home at night, for he says he is old enough to do as he pleases. "He refuses to go to church with us and acts like the typical spoiled brat much of the time. "Yet we love him and want to help him, so what can we do?" BE AMERICAN Good parents must be hard- boiled on many occasions. And never let a temper tantrum brat use psychological blackmail on you, for children soon realize that because of your love for them, you parents will often give in to their demands. Woodrow Wilson ^hus offered us a maxim that applies to modern parents as well as to our "free enterprise" system, when he said: "All any American should desire is a free field and no favors!" Our Declaration of In­ dependence likewise states that we Americans are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, namely, "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Please observe that none of us is entitled to "happiness" unless we "pursue" it hard enough to "catch up" with it, via our hard work and "elbow grease," plus thrift, diligence to duty and long hours of study.

So why will you parents be such nitwits as to subsidize your children in such a vicious fashion? And I use that word "vicious" advisedly, for this is exactly what has produced the hippie generation, namely, your excessive permissiveness and showering of your children with unearned cash allowances, plus other favors they have never merited. Bill's problem began back before kindergarten when his daddy and mother should have encouraged him to earn pen­ nies and nickels via simple tasks around the house. For the children who work for their own money, become very frugal in spending it. Remember, it is the free cash handouts that are squandered in Prodigal Son fashion! "Easy come; easy go," is a maxim that has been true ever JESUS RALLY Annette Bager will tell of God's wonderful love and saving power at a Jesus rally to be held at the First Baptist church gym, McHenry, Saturday, June 9, at 7:30 p.m. There will be music, singing and testimony. since Adam and Eve, yet thousands of college graduate parents violate that basic axiom of child psychology every day right here in the U.S.A. Here's how to determine if your teen-ager merits a car: (1) Does he earn his own spending money? (2) Does he make good marks in school? (3) Does he play the parent- child game according to the rules? (4) Has he won a driver's license and shown enough emotional maturity to drive like a man instead of a show-off inferiority-complexer? (5) Does he rate "Senior High School" on the following test?

SAFETY-HEALTH STANDARDS Too many farm employers continue unaware that they are subject to fines for non­ compliance with, the Oc­ cupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of 1970. There was a time when farm employers could choose the amount of hazard their em­ ployees would be exposed to. "But those days passed when OSHA became effective in July. 1971." If no outside labor is hired on a family farm, the operator need not worry about com­ pliance with the law. However, if he hires one man for one hour, anytime during the calendar year, he must comply with the law or be prepared to face stiff penalties. A serious violation carries a mandatory fine of jjp-to $1,000. Employers also "may" be fined up to $1,000 for minor violations. And the U.S. Department of Labor can stop work in progress until hazar­ dous conditions are corrected. Although the law has been in effect for nearly two years, inspections conducted by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration indicate widespread noncompliance. In a recent 12-month period, 1 the Administration inspected 29,500 establishments em­ ploying nearly 6 million^ workers. Only 25 percent of the in­ spected establishments met OSHA standards. The remaining employers received 23,000 citations alleging 103,000 ^ M Hearing £ Aid Service S 24 Hour Service • FREE LOANERS COMPLETE k iSERVICE ON ALL MAKESg Zenith Sonotone Beltone • Telex k Octarian Fidelity SAcoustlcen Qualitone Vicon Dahlbert Audivox ^ ^ Radioear Maico Widex Audiotone S|R.O.Stensland & Associate SB ^ Rental on Zentith or k Maico Hearing Aids fi 3937 W Main, McHenry 9 815 385 7661 M Wednesday only 15 P.M S Other locations Mt.

Every employer should have a copy of the safety standards and of the booklet "Record­ keeping Requirements Under the Act." The centerfold of the booklet is a poster that must be prominently displayed in the employees' usual work area. If you do not have a copy call Louis Engelbrecht, Extension adviser at 815-338-3737 or 338- 4747. PROTEIN COSTS You can cut protein costs for swine by following the recommendations in these drylot rations. -Gestating sows should receive no more than 12 percent protein in their ration. If grain and supplement are fed separately, feed a maximum of one-half pound of supplement per head daily. -If sows nursing litters receive a full feed, rations can be reduced to 14 percent from the 16-percent level usually, recommended. Or you can feed a 16-percent protein ration but limit the sow feed to one pound per day per pig being nursed. This works best if pigs are weaned when they^re three to four weeks old. -You can reduce rations of 40 to 100 pound pigs to 14 percent protein. Recent Ohio work indicates this feduces daily gains about 0.1 pound and in­ creases feed per hun­ dredweight gain about 45 pounds. --With the present high price and shortage of supplement, nobody should feed more than 12 percent protein in the ration of pigs weighing 100 pounds or more. Experiments with 10 percent protein rations led to these conclusions: Daily gains are reduced by 0.2 to 0.4 pounds per head; total feed per hun­ dredweight gain is increased abdut 50 pounds; loin eyes are reduced about 0.5 square in­ ches; and lean cuts are reduced 1.0 to 1.5 percent. In general, the meatier the hogs, the greater the effect of reducing protein levels. Whether a 12 percent protein ration produces more or less expensive gains depends upon the price of corn and sup­ plement. ^ £ 3720 W. Elm St. McHenry, 111.
