Approval means that Ill inois farmers under the elected Ill inois Soybean Operating board will invest the money into research projects, development of overseas markets and research to increase yields Soybean yields since 1953 have increased only from 28 to 35 bushels an acre. Corn yield has increased from 58 to 110 bushels in the same period, bv comparison The McHenry County Farm Bureau board > actively supported the referendum with Jim Book, Harvard farmer, serving as head of this committee. A farmer in each of the seventeen townships served on a committee to contact soybean farmers with a telephone campaign before the final two davs of the election. Those committee members included Keith Weingart of McHenry, Clarence Adams of Nunda and Richard Arseneau of Richmond. Verner Anderson, Batavia farmer, is the District II member of the Operating board. He was elected during the balloting on the referendum by farmers in the district established for this referendum vote. The board will organize almost immediately so it can get the program under way. Check off the first year will be limited to a quarter cent a bushel. It can go no higher than cent a bushel. In addition, persons who have had money held out via the checkoff can obtain a refund by fil ing the forms with the Operating Board Both the McHenry County Farm Bureau and the Ill inois Land of Lincoln Soybean association supported the referendum and anticipate increased net farm income as the ultimate result of this decision by farmers to approve the checkoff. The checkoff will amount to abut 7-8 cents an acre, say Ill inois Land of Lincoln a s s o c i a t i o n a n a l y s t s .

One of the councils, the Northwest Ill inois Consumer council (NWCC) has been established in the DeKalb area and will be initiated by Mrs. Judv King, 731 Hillcrest, DeKalb Mrs. King said the first monthly meeting of the NWCC will be held on July 29, from 7:30 p.m. at the DeKalb county courthouse at 133 W State in Sycamore. The Northwest Ill inois council covers Boone,, McHenry, Lake, Kane, DeKalb, Kendall , LaSalle and Livingston counties. In all , there will be nine councils which will be organized and staffed entirely with volunteers. is one anticipated result of this referendum approval. Search for a disease-resistant higher-yielding varietv is another area where action will take place. Better harvesting equipment to cut the bushel an acre field loss is also anticipated. The Consumer Advocate office is directed by Mrs. Celia Maloney, who recently conducted a controlled investigation of Chicago area automobile repair shops and found that many were overcharging people by as much as $125 for what should have been a $3 to $8 repair bill . There was also evidence of shoddy work. "The establishment of volunteer consumer councils is essential if the consumer is to be protected," Mrs. Maloney said. "The voice of the consumer should be heard throughout this state," she added. Three weeks ago, Joel Piatt , as assistant to Mrs. Maloney, met with Mrs. King to help organize the Northwest Consumer council . Volunteers will be reimbursed only for telephone calls and mailing costs. Horse Show Fair Feature This vear 's McHenry County Fair should prove to be a hopping success.

Once again I have the pleasure of introducing that team of youthful sleuths known as The Three Investigators. "We Investigate Anything" is their slogan, and so they do. Usually they conduct their operations out of their official headquarters--an abandoned mobile home trailer in the Jones Salvage yard in Rocky Beach, a small community not far from Hollywood. This time, however, they journey to the high slopes of the Sierra Nevada for an adventure which begins simply, with a search for a missing key. Complications are soon piled on complications as the ads learn the strange secret that threatens the woman called Anna, and discover the truth behind the dark legends of a hermit and a monster. In the event that any of our readers are meeting The Three Investigators for the first time, I shall only say that Jupiter Jones, the First Investigator and leader of the group, is a stout fellow with an extremely agile mind and a remarkable talent for scenting trouble. Pete Crenshaw is the tallest and most athletic of the trio. Though he is never a coward, he does cherish a sensible desire to keep out of danger. Bob Andrews, quiet and studious, keeps records for the group, and has a flair for research which is invaluable to The Three Investigators. • Now that the introductions are completed, the reader will please turn to Chapter One.

The fusible products now on the mar­ ket mean new "sewing" possi­ bilities, both for those who sew and those who don't. The new fusible is merely a product that melts when heated. And the way it works in sewing is to lay this product, the fus ible, between two pieces of ma­ terial that you want to have fastened together Press with an iron But all fusibles can come "un- fused" if they're not treated properly For one thing, not all fabrics fuse well. Sometimes the' iron temperature and the amount of time required for fusing can damage the fabrics you're trying to stick together. Or the fabric you're working with may be too slick or sheer to hold a fuse" job Experiment first with a scrap of fabric and the fusing material It may save you some grief Also do a thorough job of reading the label on the fusible before you buy Many of the products indicate which fabrics are not suited to their particular type of fusing Follow the directions carefully. Not all fusibles are used alike. But fusing can offer a whole new way of sewing by combining the right fusible on the right fabric with the right method FOR YOIR ADDED COWEMEM E . . .
