AGE 16 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 21, 1975 SERVICES Which CRUMBLES First? of a Grecian Here stands what remains temple dating to 300 B.C. Which crumbles first -- the civilization or its religion? Do spiritual foundations collapse because a culture is in trouble? Or do cultures deteriorate because their spiritual foundations are collapsing? To historians it's like the question about the chicken or the egg. My main concern is our own civilization. This involves my family and the contribution we can make. We have a Bible -- we read it! We have a Faith -- we try to live it! My religion makes me conscious of the dangers of to­ day's civilization. Yet, I am an optimist . . . especially on Sunday when my family is at church . . . and when we see your family there too! • i- • *mi mSr* ' •"^f§ Scriptures selected by the American Bible Society Copyright 1973 Keister Advertising Service, Inc., Strasburg, Virginia Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Matthew • Matthew • Matthew • Luke • Proverbs • Romans • John 5; 1-12 5: 17-37 7: 1- /2 10: 29-37 3: 27-3 5 13: 1 -14 1: 1 -14 Mount Hope Church United Methodist 1015 W.

In talking with teachers in the English department, they express a real concern that each course which they offer deals with these three skill areas in addition to developing a student awareness of listening. An attempt is made within the department to provide a variety of offerings to meet different needs. For example, the department offers a Business English course with the goal of "giving students a saleable skill in working with English in a clerical-business environment." Another course, Film Studies, deals with the previously mentioned skill components through the media of movies. In this offering, students are required to go beyond the point of watching movies. Film Study students describe what they observe through written and verbal communication. Quality work is expected in performing this type of student analysis. Department offerings, in some cases, overlap other curriculum areas. The Business-English class com­ bines an English and Business Education approach. Another offering, American Studies, reviews the story of the United States from a literary and historical viewpoint. American Studies is team taught by in­ structors from each depart­ ment. A reading diagnostician or an instructor specially trained to help students with individual reading problems is also in­ volved in the English program. In addition, those students who wish to excel beyond the nor­ mal curriculum are provided with the opportunity to enroll in an advanced placement English section. These students are expected to produce classwork which meets college level standards. Certainly, the English curriculum at West campus offers a variety of programs and learning experiences in an effort to deal with the needs of all students. However, department members are concerned that, in some cases, individual needs are not identified. Especially in an area like English, weaknesses can exist which go unnoticed in a classroom setting. As a result, the department is in the midst of designing an evaluation tool which will be used to focus on specific areas where improvement is needed for individual students. In this way, programs can be designed to overcome weaknesses when possible. Hopefully, the net result will be a more efficient and meaningful use of teacher and student time. In summary, a review of what the English department is already doing and looking at what it would like to do, leaves the observer impressed with wljat is happening in this West Campus program. The involved teachers are Pat Barton, Ed Beling, Jim Blum, Karen Lescher, Charles Popp, Peggy Quick, and Sue Zimmerman. College Meets Needs Of Area When McHenry County college opened in 1968 there were 182 course offerings. The tax rate was 7 cents. Today there are 309 course offerings and the tax rate is still 7 cents. The increase in these course offerings is a direct result of MCC meeting the needs of McHenry county. In the area of Agriculture, to meet the needs of the rural community, thirty-six courses are offered today as opposed to 16 in 1968-69. Other examples are Electronics courses from five in 1968-69 to eleven in 1974- 75; Automotive courses from 0 in 1968-69 to ten in 1974-75; and Nursing courses from 0 in 1968- 69 to six in 1974-75. This is again a direct result of the needs of business -and industry in McHenry county. A very im­ portant growth in course of­ ferings is in the field of Police Science - from 0 in 1968-69 to fifteen today. All citizens of McHenry county benefit from this organized program to enhance both local and county police activities. While the major increase has been in the vocational- occupational areas, the academic program has kept pace to insure that the student transferring to a 4-year college can obtain necessary credits at MCC. Finally, Community Service programs in agriculture, animal care, business-related courses, home, garden and shop, homemaking skills, machine skills and recreation have expanded from fifty-five courses in 1968-69 to 273 today. In order to continue to meet the needs of McHenry County, the McHenry County college board of trustees, after studying the recommendations of a county-wide citizens ad­ visory committee, decided to ask the people of McHenry County college district for an additional 5 cents per $100 assessed • valuation to meet these needs. The referendum is scheduled for March 8. The polls will be open from noon to 7 p.m. Anyone with questions should call the college. Offer Three Oat Varieties Three new oat varieties are commercially available for the first time this year. Noble and Gtout were developed at Purdue university and Goodland at the University of Wisconsin, says George Young, University of Illinois Extension adviser in McHenry county. Noble matures a few days earlier than Garland and Holden. It has good resistance to lodging and high test weight. It's a short variety that is resistant to loose smut but moderately susceptible to stem rust, leaf rust, and barley yellow dwarf. Stout was also released by Purdue in 1974. It, like Noble, is short and has excellent resistance to lodging. Stout normally matures a few days before Clintland 64 and similar varieties. It has good resistance to the common races of stem rust, leaf rust, and loose smut, and is moderately susceptible to barley yellow dwarf. It has a much more compact head than most oat varieties. Goodland is another Wisconsin variety with a high- groat protein content. It grows to about the same height as Otee and Noble, but it matures later. It has excellent lodging resistance. It is moderately resistant to leaf and stem rust and is susceptible to barley yellow dwarf. Eighty to 100 bushels of grain 1 plus 2 to 2.5 tons of straw per acre make spring oats a relatively profitable crop for some northern Illinois farmers, says Young. He offers these management * tips: -Start with high-quality seed of a variety that is well adapted to your soils and weather conditions. -If you save your own production for seed, have it -t cleaned by a professional seedsman . Send a sample to the state department of agriculture for a germination test and a purity analysis. -The seed should be treated with a fungicide before plan­ ting. ^ , T-Plant early. Oats are a cool-' weather crop. -A well-prepared seedbed is best. -Don't bury oat seed. -Phosphorus and nitrogen, are the most important fertility ingredients. Phosphorus rate will depend on a soil test and whether the phosphorus is being broadcast or applied through the drill. Nitrogen rates depend on the lodging resistance of the variety and whether a legume un- derseeding is desired. Rate of nitrogen may vary from 40 pounds to 80 pounds an acre. DEADLY GAME Things are tough all over these days. The guy down the street just took out a million dollar life insurance policy. Only problem was he died anyway. HOW CAN i > By Anne Ashley Q. What can be done about removing spots from laminated plastic? A. Work areas covered with this plas^£ are' sometimes spotted by rust, grape juice, ink, dyes, etc., and it is best not to use an abrasive cleaner, since it could damage the plastic. Instead, try using a single step auto cleaner polish for safe removal of these stains. Q. How can I prevent window shades from blowing about when they are pulled down and the window is open? A. Try replacing the ring on the string with a small suction cup, which can be stuck to the windowsill to anchor the shade. Q. How can I prevent the cooking of cabbage and cauliflower from permeating my house? A. Drop a few walnuts, shells and all, into the pot while these items cook. Q.

Rub the threads of the screws with a slightly wet bar of soap, and your twisting will; be much easier. Q. What can I do about certain fabrics that don't take well to starch? A. For these, dissolve some granulated sugar in water, and use this in place of starch. Q. How can I give my TV screen a good cleaning? A. Rub over it with a bit of toothpaste and damp cloth. Then wipe off with another damp cloth. Q. How can I renew the ap pearance of a shabby-looking black umbrella? A. Try brushing over it with a solution of ammonia and warm water. Q.

Following the announcement of President Ford's proposed income tax rebate plan for individuals, I recommended an alternate plan to both the President and Congressional leaders. I believe my plan is more equitable and would maximize the economic impact. Here's how I compare the two plans: THE FORD PLAN: 1. Would give flat 12 percent rebates totaling $12 billion. 2. Would give a maximum $1,000 rebate to those with an income tax of $8,333. (Most taxpayers with incomes of $40,000 or more would receive a $1,000 rebate.) 3. Would give the largest rebates to those who are least likely to spend the money. 4. Would base the tax rebate amount of the 1974 tax paid. on the THE BLOCK PLAN: 1. Would give graduated declining percent­ age rebates totaling an amount to be determined by Congress. 2. Would give a maximum 40% tax rebate at lowest income levels declining to zero for those with an Adjusted Gross In­ come in excess of $40,000. 3. Would give the largest rebates to low and middle income persons most in need of tax relief and most likely to spend the money. 4. Would base the tax rebate percentage on Adjusted Gross Income and then apply it to the tax...eliminating addi­ tional tax advantage to those already benefiting from tax shelters. #WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? WRITE THE PRESIDENT, YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS - Make your views known, whichever plan you prefer. They are the ones who will pass and approve such legislation. FILE EARLY -- The Internal Revenue Service is urging taxpayers to file their returns early. It is likely that the sooner the return is filed the sooner the taxpayer will receive any rebate permitted by new legislation. And, if you are entitled to a regular tax refund . . . the sooner you file, the sooner you will receive it. If you have any questions about your income taxes . . . visit or call any one of our more than 7,000 offices nationwide. There is never a charge for tax information or for answering your questions.
