PAGE 18- PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, AKil ST 29. 1973 Thanks K ids! One of the problems in any service business is always having the right number of people to serve you during peak periods. The McHenry State Bank attempts to solve this problem by employing part-time help during vacation periods and other busy times to insure uninterrupted service. Larry Harris, right, executive secretary of the McHenry County Farm Bureau, talks with Keith Weingart, McHenry township director, as he visits various board members in his new position as executive secretary. (DON PEASLEY PHOTO) Meet Keith Weingart McHenry Man Serves As Farm Bureau Director Easy-going, good-natured and hard-working describes the biggest man on the McHenry County Farm Bureau board of directors-Keith Weingart. Keith, serving his first term as the McHenry township director, is one of the youngest on the board as well as one of the huskiest. The 6-foot, 4-inch dairy farmer, at 28, is also one of the county's most eligible bachelors! Keith comes from a Farm Bureau family where he and his younger broth­ er, Richard, and his father. Chuck, operate 710 tillable acres and milk those Holsteins. In addition, they have about that many young animals on the farm and strive to raise their own replacement animals. The Weingart herd is well known among McHenry county dairymen, since it has several times topped the McHenry county Dairy Herd Im­ provement association annual production records. Keith shows obvious pride in his farming activities and is comfortable as he works his way around the dairy barn on a farm located in the midst of eastern McHenry county's bursting growth. A subdivision is behind the farm. Buildings are across the road indicative of the burgeoning City of McHenry. Another small town is a few miles to the east, and a gravel operation is not far in the distance either. But the Weingarts are happy with their life as farmers and are in no mood to succumb to the lure of urbanization. While Keith's father, Chuck, con­ tinues deeply involved in a host of agricultural, political, civic, fraternal, professional, and religious service activities, both Keith and Richard maintain close liaison to assure top-notch farming. Keith finds his adventure in service as a Farm Bureau board director both satisfying and exciting. "I was surprised with the extent Farm Bureau is both involved and committed to improve marketing of the farmers' products," he ob­ serves. „ Keith likes the way Farm Bureau is becoming in­ creasingly interested in local governmental activities - such as zoning, land development, and the landfill discussion. Taxes, of course, have been an important area for Farm Bureau, and Keith is happy with the way Farm Bureau is working to tell its story to both the consumer and to the far­ mer. "We need to continue stressing the role of farmers and how they have problems but also have a chance to succeed with the consumers. I think we also need to keep in mind that we should tell far­ mers some of the things we do in Farm Bureau and about some of the issues as we see them." As examples, Keith said the food crisis needs to be ex­ plained both to the consumer and the farmer. So does the tax situation where inequitable taxes are of vital concern to every citizen. A Marian Central graduate (1963) Keith graduated from the Rockford School of Business before returning to the farm. Today he's putting to good use his experience and business knowledge, both on the farm and for others as a member of the 17-member McHenry County Farm Bureau board of directors. Don't Let Labor Day Be Your Last Holiday Labor day ~ since before the turn of the century the official day for the American worker to relax -- is the last day to relax his safety precautions, warns the Insurance Information institute. As the working man takes off for the beach, ballpark or backyard barbecue, over­ crowded roads increase the chance of an auto accident and unattended homes increase opportunities for burglars. Last Labor day weekend, 602 persons died as a result of auto accidents -- twenty-five in Illinois, according to the National Safety council. The first six months of this year, more than 1,104 persons died in Illinois traffic accidents. One and a half million residences were burglarized last year, the Institute reports, many on the Labor day weekend when workers and their families were "out of town". Ironically, the oc­ cupants assisted the burglar in about 20 per cent of the cases - simply by leaving a door unlocked. The Institute advises that you can reduce the chances of becoming a traffic statistic or a burglary victim by following a few common sense rules: -- Lock unattended cars and store personal property out of sight. More than 800,000 motor vehicles were stolen in 1972; a majority were unlocked. -- Don't attempt to drive too far in three days, and remember -- death rates are highest at night. For night trips, take someone along to help drive and keep you awake. -- Speed and alcohol are the most frequent causes of high­ way death and injury. Don't drink before driving and ob­ serve speed limits. -- A dark house or apartment attracts burglars. Leave a light or two aglow when you are gone at night or on vacation. - Uncollected newspapers and mail also tip off burglars. Before leaving, ask a neighbor or apartment manager to watch the premises and remove newspapers and mail. National traffic accident statistics for the first five months of 1973 indicate that there will be more auto deaths and injuries this year than ever before. "Traffic records show the causes of accidents, and the time and conditions under which they occur -- but only people can prevent accidents," said the Institute. The warning signs are clear. "Don't let summer's last holiday be your last holiday - ever."
