i Focus On Food Gifts PAGE 5 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNE8DAY. DECEMBER 4. 1974 4 > Mary Jean Huff 75 From County To IAA Annua/ Meeting Dec. 11-14 Richard Simon Is Welcomed By Large Family Wonder Lake 728 0267 About seventy-five McHenry county farm people will par­ ticipate in the 1974 Illinois Agricultural association annual meeting in Chicago Dec. 11-14, and much of the emphasis may be on resolutions aimed at the role farmers should have in feeding the world. The World Food conference in Rome spotlights the urgent need for food, just as it thrusts the United States into the role as villain because it does not come forward and endlessly gives it food in a humanitarian gestures. Farmers, specifically Farm Bureau, have thrust them­ selves into the discussion with two State Farm Bureau presidents holding a widely publicized press conference in Home, followed by further comments in Chicago by Harold Steel, Illinois Farm Bureau president from Prin­ ceton. Stelle stressed the humanitarian aspects and farmers' willingness to do their fair share, but he warned it is possible to crust the magnificent agricultural producing machinery in the U.S. if farmers don't get money to pay their bills. Continued food-for-the- starving discussion is expected at the open session of the tentative resolutions com­ mittee at 10 a.m. Thursday, Dec 12. President Harold Steele gives his featured talk that same night. McHenry County Farm Bureau will be well represented at the Young Farmers' con­ ference and at the Women's committee activities. Ba^h county elects voting delegates^ the number based on Farm Bureau membership in the county. McHenry county's delegates include John Martin, president from Marengo; Ran Hansen, Hebron; Elmer Hill, Union; Clarence Adams, McHenry; Ed Meir, Jr., Algonquin, and Keith Weingart, McHenry. Alternates are also elected so the county is assured its proper representation at those voting delegates' sessions, the place where official policy is established and where other business for the organization is conducted. Among those planning to attend the Young Farmers activities are Mr. and Mrs. David Gardner, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Stewart, Mr. and Mrs. Dick Stoxen, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Beard, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Schultz, Jr., and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Awe. Mrs. Joanne Cornelison, Mrs. Rosemary Bartman, Mrs. Jean Martin, Mrs. Ella Martin and Mrs. Jerry Foat are among those signed up for the Woman's c o m m i 11 e e programs. The new format for their sixtieth annual meetings of the IAA finds the Dec. 11 program for presidents and executive "Secretaries. Most of the people will come to the Palmer House in time for a series of events beginning with breakfasts Dec. 12. Featured speaker Friday night will be Jack Jackson of the American Airlines Flight academy. Entertainment by Glenn Ash, country and western singer, follows. The marketing conference will be held at 9 a.m. Friday, Dec. 13. Lane Palmer, editor of the Farm Journal, healdines this program. Two market- minded groups of interest to farmers here-the Illinois Corn Growers association and the Illinois Land of Lincoln Soybean association-plan annual meetings Thursday, Dec. 12. Darwin Stolte, president of the Illinois Feed Grain council, will speak at the Corn Growers' meeting. Eastwood Manor Mary Ann Bellak 385-5705 Keep Cars Off Street During Snow Plowing Clarence Regner asked me to relate this message to the residents of Eastwood Manor: Would you please tell the people in Eastwood Manor to keep cars off the streets while snow plowing is going on. The sheriff can ticket cars or have them towed away at their expense. This information comes from the sheriff 's office. The township trucks can not do a good job if cars are parked on the street and you have to go around them. Please do as you are asked it 's for your benefit as well as the other residents of Eastwood Manor. EASTWOOD & MANOR STOP SIGNS Recently I have received two more letters, one from Clarence Regner, and one from Tom Brink. The contents are as follows: Regner's letter: The survey for two stop signs was made Nov. 7, by Tom Brink and myself. I suggested to Tom we stop and see you. But to our disappointment nobody was home. Enclosed is a letter from 1 um Brink. I believe his survey is a good one, and therefore we must abide by his decision. These are public roads in Eastwood Manor and in my opinion, the parents of the children should try and keep them off the streets. Brink's letter: On NOv. 7, I inspected the Eastwood Manor subdivision, at your request, and have made the following recommendations: The placement of the stop sign on Manor Lane is in accordance with the manual and is the only one necessary to stop traffic. As you stated the lady wished you to place two additional stop signs at this intersection to slow traffic down. The manual states that no stop sign shall be used for speed control. Also in driving in the subdivision I noted that there are 20 mph speed signs on these roads. Since there is no ordinance to reduce the speed from the statutory 30 mph, I find these illegal and therefore unen­ forceable. Recently, I worte another letter to A. Thomas Brink asking him to reconsider. I went into more detail, and hope to get much better results this time. I 'll let you know the outcome. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED The HPTO contacted parents concerning volunteering time for various school projects. Those who indicated an interest in working in the school will be contacted shortly. We are trying to provide additional activities at recess times, but we need more help. If you would be interested in helping students with crafts, teaching games, showing movies, or a variety of other things, give us a call. John J. Nilles: Prin­ cipal.

(Service Charge $1.00) THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY 3814 West Elm Street • McHenry, Illinois 60050 I Church Will Present "Amahl" December 14-5 "Amahl and the Night Visitors", a musical production originally written for television, will effectively start off the Christmas festivities in Crystal Lake when it is presented by the music and drama groups of First Congregational church in the Central school auditorium at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 14, and Sunday, Dec. 15, at 5 p.m. The cast of about thirty people will be directed by Eva Wedel, choir director at the church. "Amahl and the Night Visitors" is the story of a crippled child who lives with his mother in a community of poverty stricken shepherds. Three Kings, on their way to Bethlehem to pay homage to the Christ Child, &eek shelter at Amahl's rude hut. In the early dawn, Amahl's mother, bedazzled by the kingly gifts for the Child, steals some of the gold. When her theft is discovered and she explains that she needs the gold for her starving child, the kings tell her about the Child and the new light that He will bring to the world. Amahl, in a gesture of innocent generosity, offers his crutch - his most precious possession - as a gift to the Holy Child. Amahl's miraculous recovery brings the story to a happy conclusion. Gian Carlo Menotti, the composer, tells us that the opera is an effort to recapture his own childhood in Italy, where there was no Santa Claus, but where gifts were brought by the Three Kings. "The Adoration of the Kings", a painting by Hieronymus Bosch, hanging in the Metropolitan Museum in New York City, was his inspiration in any special activities such as sports, boy scouts, etc.?!

PILGRIM STYLE The first snow of the season did not stop the kindergarten classes of Harrison School from celebrating Thanksgiving "Pilgrim Style". While they sat at tables outdoors, each was served a cup of hot soup from a steaming pot. The day before the children had made pumpkin pie and when they came inside the school, they whipped cream to top off their dessert. Then they put on the Indian jackets, headbands and jewelry, all made by their busy little fingers these past few weeks, and moved on to the gym to perform for the lower grades. Their life size Teepee and totem pole were also brought to the gym and soon the place was filled with the chanting of In- ^astfiaui -CoxelEl <SzxvLnq Cljou CZ(U finest <^Exman cfinA c/tmzxLcan ^}ood cz/fnd (2oclltail± c/ft ^PxLcza.
