MAIt* H rt \Yi\ VI os I Connie Schmidt Shore Uracil 385-7841 Urge Mothers, Children Attend Caster Egg Hunt This is the first children's activity of the year planned by the Women's auxiliary of West Shore Beach. Mothers please call me to signup for the event and donate a dozen colored eggs. There will be groups formed from ages 1-4 and 5-9. Prizes will be awarded for the best egg hunters and candy gifts given to all those participating. Mothers in our subdivision take advantage of this fun Easter event and make our egg hunt a big success. We need your cooperation and enthusiasm for the children. Let me know that you want to attend on Saturday, April 13, at Wfl.m. It will only be an hour out of the entire Easter weekend and you can make it a memorable one for the kids. Don't be shy; we are looking forward to seeing some new faces and getting together with the kids. This event will determine whether other such social functions can be planned for the children in the community. Make this a real good Easter for the little ones! FUND-RAISING Tlie ladies club needs your support by purchasing cards, notes and other stationary items from its members. At a low cost you can be a proud owner of some colorful and unique writing paper. And moreover you can be helping ladies club to raise money for beach improvements. This is the main goal of the club and we need the cooperation of community females. Ttiere is particularly a need for young women who have small children and who can bring their ideas to the club. Our next meeting is April 4 at 7:30 p.m. in the home of Katherine Aissen. Please plan on coming! CONSERVATION CONCERNS A conservation club meeting was held last Thursday evening at 8 p.m. in the Lakeland Park Community nouse. New officers are needed as well as new members. Anyone who lives on and around McCullom Lake should be a member of the club. Fishermen and swimmers definitely need to be involved with the preservation of the lake facilities of which they all fake advantage for their activities. Channel vour interests into the conservation club and make it a part of your family's concern. There will be a fund-raising event mailed to all neighbors of McCullom Lake and completed on July 18. Anyone receiving these notices can be part of the club by responding positively. If you can't spare the time to attend the meetings the least expected would be your participation in the lake's fund- raising. Also the 108th Preventive Medicine Division of Uncolnwood's Army Reserve unit will help to analyze McCullom Lake in connection with state biologists. They will handle the weed control and swimmer's itch problem. Most important is a clean-up of the two feeder streams on May 6. Any scouts, students, organizations, etc., are urged to meet on West Shore Beach on May 6 at 10 a.m. Bring rakes, bags, and lots of good spirit to clean the streams. West Shore Beach residents particularly are urged to attend since these streams are on Cfur subdivision's property. Make an effort and mark your calendars now! HONORABLE MENTION A good deed by Ed Piatt improved the appearance of our beach shoreline. Winter debris and tree branches greatly cluttered the area before Ed raked and cleaned the water's edge. Your efforts are greatly appreciated by the community and we hope many more residents can attend the community beach clean-up scheduled for April 6. PERSONALS Bev and Harold Johnson celebrated their wedding anniversary on March 26. Hope you both had a wonderful day together! Mrs. Radlein spent a week's vacation in Chicago with her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Vierus, They had the opportunity to tour Plentywood Farms and dine at a well known Cantonese restaurant. Many birthday wishes to Boyd Knaack and Virginia Posthuma who share March 28. Gary Russell will be twelve years old on March 30 and is looking forward to his big day. Also a birthday celebration will be held for Millie Giddings on March 31. Best wishes to all! Lakemoor-Lilymoor Alma Hueckstaedt * 385-5689 Ladies League Elects Officers At Busy Meeting "Hie members of the Ladies League held their regular meeting on Wednesday, March 20. The members had quite a bit of business to take care of since they do not conduct meetings during the months of January and February. There was an election of officers, and they will be installed in April. Prize winners for this evening's games were Florence Mix, first; Julia Kraus, second; Jean Dember, third; and Lu Gravenstuk won the booby prize. A special prize went to Lu Gravenstuk. ATTENTION LAKEMOOR RESIDENTS Your garbage pick-up day will be changed firom Monday to Fridays. This week only there will be two pick-ups, one on Monday and one on Friday. I would recommend that you mark your calendar for Fridays until you get used to the new pick-up day. PARENTSFOR YOUTH GROUP The bazaar and bake sale was very successful and the members of the group wish to express their appreciation by way of this column for the Conservation Program Expands Farm Efforts donations, the workers that volunteered to give of their time and the people that came out and purchased the items and the baked goodies. A special prize was given to President Hyatt. Proceeds from this will go towards the Easter egg hunt, beginning at the Municipal Building. Bring the kiddies out to see the Easter Bunny. Originally there had been plans for a dance for the young people on April 6, but those plans will have to be set aside unless they have adult volunteers to organize and supervise the occasion and they would like to hear from the young people if they would like to attend a dance. All those interested in any way regarding a dance, please call either Edna Garbacz at 385-2744 or Goldie Withrow at 385-7239 and let them know you will help or attend. LILYMOOR ASSOCIATION I have been informed that some of the members are in arrears with their dues and if they are not paid by the end of the month you will be dropped from the membership list and your garbage will not be picked up. Get in touch with Florence Martensen and get a check to her as soon as possible. Let's not let our membership number drop any lower. Call her now at 385-7160. The 1974 Rural Environ­ mental Conservation pro­ gram (RECP) is now ready for area farmers, reports Jimmie D. Lucas, McHenry county ASCS executive director. "Returning from a recent conference with state ASCS officials, we can say what RECP will actually mean to McHenry county farmers. Most of our local farmers are well aware of the old 1972 REAP, however its successor, the new RECP expands that scope considerably", Lucas said. "New this year", according to the county official, "are the expanded cost-sharing features, a choice of single year or long term agreements, several practice modifications, and added emphasis on forestry conservation and production. In terms of dollars and cents, this program can make available a maximum of $2,500 per year to each participant. The $90 million allocation will fund the 1974 program, with distribution to the states based primarily upon the Conservation Needs Inventory. Distribution by the states to the county ASCS offices will also generally follow this inventory guide, or each state may make modifications as necessary. Hie federal share of the cost- sharing program has been set. at a minimum of 50 percent and a maximum of 75 percent on all costs incurred - including labor, for those carrying out the approved conservation practices. Low income farmers will be eligible to receive up to 80 percent cost-sharing, under the 1974 program. The opportunities in the program are to be available without regard to race, creed or color of applicants. The new program can generally be divided into two facets, Soil and Water Conservation and Forestry Incentives. Eligibility in the Forestry Incentives program (FIP) covers a somewhat wider spectrum of persons generally including those interested in tree production, as opposed to the food and fiber producers who are eligible for the Soil and Water Conservation programs. The soil and water programs will be open to all counties, and encompass cost-sharing agreements of either an annual or a long term dvation. Under either of these two programs, the participant must assure the ASC committee he will begin the program in 1974. WELCOME TO LILYMOOR The welcome mat is out for Bruce and Nancy Man^luk. They have purchased and moved into the house that was formerly owned by Gene and Helen Rodde. t The Roddes have moved to sunny Florida. Here's hoping they find the weather much nicer there. I am sure they will miss the many friends they left up here in the cold country. HAPPINESS IS Bringing a new baby home from the hospital to the rest of the family. The happiness of the Reese household was increased greatly with the birth of another daughter. Christie Joy Lea came into the world on March 11 at 9:37 p.m. When she was born she weighed 9 lbs., 4 oz. Awaiting at home to spoil her were Kimmie, 11, Debbie, 10, and Tommie 10, years old. C h r i s t i e s ' m a t e r n a l grandfather is William Abbey of Murphysboro and her paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Victor Patch of McCullom Lake. Once the approved practice has been completed, and certified as meeting all terms of the agreement, payment will be made. "Further details may be obtained by contacting the county ASCS office. Applications for the 1974 RECP program will be accepted starting April l, 1974, and the deadline for long term agreements has been set for April 13, 1974," County Executive Director Jimmie Lucas noted.' . Black Watch Players Present Students' Comedy The Black Watch Players of McHenry County college will present "Tallyho" at Central grade school, 131 Paddock street, Crystal Lake. The performances will be at 8 p.m. April 26, 27 and 28.

Our only request is that the writers give '• signature, full ad­ dress and phone number. We ask too, that one in­ dividual not write on the same subject more than once each month. We reserve the right to delete any material which we consider libelous or in objectional taste.) FARM ODORS "Editor: "We felt we couldn't pass up the opportunity to comment on the deluge (?) of letters recently printed in the Public Pulse column which defend the offensive odor emanating from the Shamrock _ Farm operation. Having studied both of these letters, a common thread between the two becomes immediately evident, namely: the irrelevant and ambiguous nature of the reasons why Messrs. Wilier and Miller are willing to accept this nasal assault! If we have understood their respective positions correctly, Mr. Miller asserted that he prefers the odors he experiences living on the outskirts of our town to the "noise" pollution he suffered while living in it. Mr. Wilier, on the other hand, differentiates between Chicago odors and those to which he has been subjected in our community, and draws the rather unflattering conclusion that, although our air may be smelly, it can hardly compare to the stench that plagued him V as a resident of the big city! "While we doubt that they collaborated on these literary contributions, it is evident that Messrs. Miller and Wilier share a rather limited and self- oriented perspective on the problem of air pollution! Their mutual lack of community concern is a disappointment, to say the least. More importantly, we sense a ^ tendency on the part of these proponents to accept and tolerate needless abuses of this sort as a part of the price for their newly found corner of the world. "Why do they feel it necessary to pay more than the purchase value of their property? Fresh air and the right to it is not a relative thing in our opinion. Perhaps their willingness to compromise this right is the reason for the advancement of the blatant abuses that have occurred in the past, subsequently causing the cities and communities from which they have escaped, to become as bad as they are. Is it possible that in their haste to secure a small corner of the world for themselves, they have overlooked the overwhelmingly negative reactions of their neighbors and other community residents, who have been affected and inconvenienced by this unnecessarily foul odor? The numbers include businessmen, senior citizens, students, faculty members, blue collar and white collar workers alike. Apparently hundreds of these people, remotely located from Shamrock farm, have experienced this odor without relating it to a farm-type operation. "Rather interesting, though GOOD TURN DAY Bob Hay has been named general chairman of the Scout Good Turn day project for the K i s h w a u k e e d i s t r i c t , Blackhawk area council, according to Frank Meenach, district Scout executive. Good Turn day will be held throughout Kishwaukee district Saturday, May 11,. Good Turn Day is a collection of clothing and small household articles for the handicapped clients at Goodwill abilities center, who renovate this material in a learning and earning program of rehabilitation. Hay and his committee expect to gather about 45 tons of materials or more on this day. unfortunately detrimental, are the negative opinions and comments offered by visitors and others who are traveling through McHenry on a day when the smell is prevalent. Perhaps the advocates of the odor have not given any thought to these factors. If the plight of their fellow man is so unimportant to them, it is unlikely that they will recognize the violation of several pollution ordinances that it is believed this odor represents. "Despite the apathy of these few, we are encouraged by the realization that there are many, many concerned members of our community, who are thinking about the ongoing consequences of this type of pollution. It is our hope that this particular problem can be resolved through the use of one of the currently available and acceptable farming techniques, thereby making our community life more pleasant for everyone, including Shamrock Farm. 1- "In conclusion, we raise the ttbvious question: If Mr. Millar is 'bugged' by people who want to keep our air clean and pollution free--where is he going to be living next? "Juli and Ed Cepulis "McHenry" EFFECTS OF RTA "Editor: "I would like to appeal to all students, and citizens who are concerned with the coming of the R.T.A. I have lived in McHenry for a little more than three months, and in this time I have come to appreciate all of McHenry area's natural beauty. I live in Lakeland Park, and am about three blocks from the old beach. I was walking along the shore, toward McCullom Lake, and saw cattle, trees, horses, rabbits, and many other beautiful things which nature has given to the McHenry area. Now they say a rural transportation system is craning in, and bringing in people who don't care if they ruin the environment we live in. I had lived in Chicago before we lived here, and have seen what people can do. The city of McHenry is almost perfectly clean, compared to Chicago, and so are the residential areas. If people come in and start throwing their garbage around, and vandalizing our stores, and homes, we will have lost our city, which is, at this time, a nice #lace to live. Please write, your representatives, and try to get something done. Just because we lost the vote doesn't mean we have lost the battle of the R.T.A.
