HERE AND THERE Mr. and Mrs. William Mc- Cabe of Mountain Home, Ark., spent the past two weeks with Bud and June Oxtoby. The McCabes are June's aunt and uncle. Ila Hogan really believes in celebrating her birthday which was Oct. 19. Friday night some of the family took her out for dinner, then Saturday night the rest of the family with friends and neighbors had another party for her. We wish you many more such happy oc­ casions, Ila. John Hogan's brother, Joe, from Barryton, Mich., was a recent visitor at their home. Barb Byron had a coffee- klatsch at her home Monday evening to acquaint her new neighbor, Rose Krueger, with the other Northern Pump wives. Those gals don't get together too often but when they do they sure get a lot of visiting done in a short while. This week the "Over the Hill Gang", Dorothy Bauer, Georgia Bauer, Phyllis Ackerman, and daughters, Pam Chambers, Laura Ackerman, Noreen Bauer spent a day at Long Grove Village. Which by the way they say their legs are a bit shorter. A very enjoyable day anyway. (Even came home with money.) 1 To change the proverbial saying around "creeping ginny" we have changed it to "wandering Ginny", as Virginia Bruce and Lois Mc­ pherson of Downers Grove spent three days in Turkey Run, Ind., this past week as they toured the covered bridges and took in the sights that were offered, and all of the han­ dicrafts for all to see and to buy. They also sold many jellies, jams, butters and guess what??? that's right for lunch they had bean soup and corn- bread. Really hit the spot. Ha, Ha! Well where will they all be off to next. Be sure to read the next issue. (Sounds like a continuing story, huh?) Seems that we all have the wanderlust but never just seem to find the time. Hope to see you all some place and time soon. More happy wanderings were done by Doris Low and Althea Walkington as they went to Wisconsin to buy material? and to have lunch and just enjoy the countryside. Is that the way it is???or was??? BIRTHDAYS Bill Billikas will celebrate his day on Oct. 28 and on Oct. 30 Barb Seaburg will have the birthday song sung as will Farm Bureau Head Ervin Walters, Hebron livestock and grain farmer, was reelected to his sixth one- year term as president of the McHenry County Farm Bureau at its organization meeting last week. John Martin, Marengo farmer who raises turkeys and hogs on his 1,100-acrefarm, was elected vice-president. He succeeds John Kooistra, Alden, in that office. Kooistra retired from the board at the annual meeting earlier this month. Ron Hanson, Greenwood, and Jim Book, Harvard, were reelected secretary and treasurer, respectively. The board, at its October meeting last week, approved remodeling plans for the large front office vacated by the Extension service Oct. 1. A new board room will be created from the offices which formerly served the farm adviser, assistant farm adviser and assistant home adviser, adding some space from the area used by secretaries for their work. The office used by the home adviser on the front of the building in that area will become the office of the executive secretary. Space for the two staff secretaries - Virginia Peacock and Phyllis Kruse - will be provided in the front of the remodeling area. Storage and mailing will be provided in a side room that includes certain heating equipment. A sliding glass front window is included in the remodeling as a convenience to the many people who come to the Farm Burea office for information and service. The board authorized the finance, building and business Connie Hopp on Oct. 31. Or will it be goblins singing??? Vic Hopp, Jr., will celebrate his birthday on Nov. 2 as well as an old resident "Murt" Muriel Benoy. Just hope that all of you have a very happy day and we wish you many more to come. service committee to accept bids and to move forward when it is satisfied with plans presented by the approved contractor. Work will not begin before mid-November, Larry Harris, executive secretary who talked with some con­ tractors, reported to the board, because of the workload the craftsmen have already backlogged. Martin, the new vice president, operates the sizable farming operation in part­ nership. They farrow and feed out about 1,200 hogs and 7,500 turkeys annually. On the farm land, they raise virtually all corn. This year's harvest is noticeably lighter than a year ago so far, Martin observed, and he blamed it on the dry weather in August. Martin has been the Marengo township director for five years. Consider New Deuster Bills On Mass Transit The special fall session of the Illinois General Assembly will be considering a new bill being introduced by Rep. Donald E. Deuster (R. Mundelein) to set up an Illinois Mass Transit fund. Speaking at Lake Forest college for the Robert E. Wood Institute on Local and Regional Studies, Deuster said he was "highly optimistic and en­ couraged" that a "bipartisan compromise solution" to the Chicago Metropolitan Area The board approved the annual Farm Bureau-Future Farmers of America Acquaintance program in November. transit crisis would be reached at Springfield. Now that Governor Walker and Mayor Daley have agreed to commit $60 million in state general revenue funds for transit, Deuster believes that bipartisan sponsorship and support is possible for his new Mass Transit fund proposal. As a companion measure to the Mass Transit fund bill, Deuster will be introducing a revised "compromise" proposal to establish a Regional Transit Authority to directly operate a suburban rail-bus system in the five counties of Lake, McHenry, DuPage, Kane and Will and suburban Cook county in coordination with the Chicago Transit authority. The main "compromise" aspect of the new Deuster RTA bill is that the CTA will not be merged into the RTA system but will be coordinated through "purchase of service" agreements.

The dinner meeting was held Oct. 18 in Oakbrook. Intermediate accounting students who attended included Steve Murgatroyd and Dale Warbington of McHenry. James Wille, instructor of accounting at MCC, also at­ tended. The program consisted of speakers from various areas of public accounting. A representative of the Illinois Society of Certified Public Accountants explained the requirements for a CPA cer­ tificate and answered questions from the audience. Other speakers included representatives from two different areas of public ac­ counting, one involved in an individual accounting practice, and one with a large accounting firm. They spoke on their respective areas and fielded questions from the students present.

MARGARET O'NEIL u Clerk of the Court (Pub. Oct. 19-26 Nov. 2,1973) ! THINK ABOUT IT!\ By BOB JUSTEN Have you ever noticed those who think twice before making a promise can usually be counted on to keep the promise? Careless promises should never be given - or counted on. A promise is a pledge; an obligation to be kept. A promise that can cause dis­ comfort, harm or injustice to yourself - or to others - should never be made, no matter how much prodd­ ing or persuasion is involved. Common sense should tell us the more we are promised, the less we should expect. It is usually very easy to make a promise . . . Ex­ pediency or change of mind is seldom a justified excuse for breaking a promise ... A promise in­ volves honor, duty and ethics . . . The best promise you can make - is a promise to yourself. . . Promise yourself you will never make a promise to any one, unless you are fully prepared and able to keep your promise ... In addition to spiritual benefit, it is a good way to gain honor, stature, praise and prestige among men . . . GEORGE R. JUSTEN FUNERAL HOME, 3519 W. Elm Street, McHenry, Illinois.
