(DON PEASLEY PHOTO) Federal Land Bank In First Annual Meeting Reelection of all six board members and selection of a nominating committee to go into action for the 1974 annual meeting launched the newly- organized Federal Land bank of DeKalb-Woodstock last week. About 425 people attended this first annual meeting of the farmer-owned cooperative which was developed through the merger of two strong Federal Land banks, the FLBA of Woodstock and the FLBA of DeKalb effective November 1. At that time the two associations held special stockholder meetings to choose directors for the new cooperative. "A stronger financing program for farmers and availability of more manpower will be one im­ mediate benefit of this merger," Frank Meyers, Belvidere, president of the new association, said in sum­ marizing the importance of the united effort. Both associations needed extra help and each had ad­ ministrative offices. Neither could justify adding a fulltime man, but now the merged organization can hire a third man effectively, to assist John Webb, manager, and Bill Hahn, associate manager. The new FLBA of DeKalb-Woodstock will serve farmers in seven counties: Lake, McHenry, Boone, DeKalb, Kane, DuPage and North Cook. Directors reelected include Edward Amdt, Malta, and Gene Simes, Hebron, one year each; Frank Meyers, Belvidere, and Alvin Warren, Leland, two-year terms each; and Edgar Kirchhoff, Harvard, and Bennett Shoop, Kaneville, three-year terms each. Members attending this first annual meeting at Elgin chose the following nominating committee: John Bridger, Clare; Robert Cruise, Waterman; Joseph Greek, DeKalb; David Cash, Harvard; Homer White, Antioch; and Donnie Johnson, Poplar Grove. Webb reported new business activity for the merged association in the year ending last June 30 totaled $5,988,460, and he said the present "good year" indicated new business for the present fiscal year could approach $8 million.

Webb said mortgage loans outstanding June 30, 1973 totaled $30,538,228. Farmers can expect a savings for their association through consolidation of ad­ ministrative facilites at the headquarters office at DeKalb in the DeKalb County Farm Bureau building, Glenn Heitz, president of the Federal Land bank of St. Louis, told association members. Heitz said he is often asked whether "now is the time" to invest in real estate when credit is hard to get and real estate is expensive. He said most people back away from investing in land when money is hard to get, but he believes that if a person can use his long term credit economically -- that he can acquire farmland and put it to productive use -- then buying real estate with a FLB loan at a relatively low rate of 7M> percent deserves con­ sideration. He cited how farmers have $61,000 invested per farm worker, "more than double what non-farm industries have invested per worker." Farmers are 3.1 times more efficient than 20 years ago, while manufacturers are only 1.7 times more efficient over the same period. He encouraged his farm audience to be aggressive in talking about agriculture through the press and through public gatherings. "City people won't understand agriculture if you don't make an effort to tell them about the efficiencies, the problems and the satisfactions that come through farming. We have an obligation .to tell our story," he concluded. Outstanding musical en­ tertainment was presented by Mr. and Mrs. Jim Murk and their musical family. This Wheaton family literally tours the world and is heading to South America in January and to Europe in April. Their children -- Beverly, 20; Bill, 18; Becky, 17; Brenda, 15; and Barbara, 14 -- combined to present a professional and warm musical show keenly paced and smoothly offered with a Christmas motif up­ permost this holiday season. They combined singing, violin playing, and sentimental presentations into a memorable show for an ap­ preciative audience. Meyer said the new association will maintain of­ fices in DeKalb and Woodstock. Mrs. Faye Todd will continue at Woodstock as assistant manager. Mrs. Helen Cox will continue as assistant manager at DeKalb. Mrs. Margaret Jascob will continue as assistant manager at Geneva, Girl Scout News BROWNIE TROOP 150 The Brownies of Johnsburg •Troop 150 made the season a little merrier for the folks at Villa Nursing home Dec. 18. The twenty-one Brownies and their three leaders were joined by the guitar accompaniment of Mrs. Claudia Hovey for a round of Christmas carols, after which the girls presented two large baskets of fruit to their audience. Fruit for the baskets was given by each of the Brownies; Bridget Thorn, Beth Travis, Mary Pritchard, Sandra Connerty, Kim Jacques, Suzanne Flury, Patti Bart- mann, Laura Schratt, Amy Rich, Michele Arnolde, Kelly Hart, Kim Colomer, Terri Eichhorn, Marcia Crump Joanne Kennebeck, Emily Huemann, Kathy Butler, Becky Olsen, Jackie Elliott, Brecky Dixon and Inga Brefeld. Under the guidance of readers, Mrs. Bill Huemann, Mrs. Bill Pritchard and Mrs. John Colomer, the Brownies experienced the pure joy of giving of themselves to make others as happy as life will permit at this holy time of the year.
