The tution at MCC, at $15 a semester hour, is presently the third highest in the state. This was raised from $12.50 last Fall and the present tuition is ap­ proaching the legal limit of one- third of the unit cost of a semester hours. The five cent increase in the MUSIN" AND MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) This was not like any open house we had ever attended before, but it was interesting. Our host was a friendly young man who identified himself only as Fred. We understand from others that this is a sign of the times -- identification by first name only. Our only regret for Youth, Inc., members is that their efforts will be rewarded for such a brief time. After many weeks of planning and doing to put their center in order, they realize their stay is temporary. The building belongs to the city and is to be used for library expansion. This is expected to be undertaken within the year. In the meantime, young folks with a need for more recreation than is provided elsewhere in the city will feel welcome in an atmosphere of their own design. Maybe this is as it should be.

If the refrendum does not pass, the college an­ nounced some programs would need to be reduced or eliminated, services reduced and tuition raised to the point that it would be beyond the reach of many students.

The** American Cancer society high school and junior high volun­ teers for McHenry is Mrs. Alfred (Pat) Roth, also a McHenry county ACS board member. The grade school volunteer is Mrs. Daniel (Joyce) Adams. Interested persons may also contact the McHenry county and Illinois division board member, Mrs. Frank (Ilavern) Gregory. The major thrust of the A C S. effort is to educate Americans, particularly young people, regarding the personal health hazards of cigarette smoking. The society lists statistics that say over 100,000 American men and women are suffering from lung cancer. In 1975 another 91,000 will be stricken with the disease. During the same year, 81,000 will die of lung cancer-or about 225 a day. This, says the society, is largely a preven­ table disease, since most lung cancer is caused by cigarette smoking. Unfortunately, it is difficult to diagnose in time for cure. Only about 10 per cent of all cases are being saved.

An Open Letter To The Public From Henry Block Of H&R Block Regarding Income Tax Rebates. 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: 12 percent rebates 1. Would give flat 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 on the amount of the 1974 tax paid. 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 one of our more than 7,000 offices nationwide. There tax information or for answering your questions. . . visit or call any is never a charge for President of H&R BLOCK, INC. Fit for Easter.

Stride Rite FIT FOR A KID ± •THi" WtBL How can the stars be use­ ful to you, in connection with the weather? Perhaps today the stars have lost some of their im­ portance as guides and di­ rection indicators with radio direction-finding and radar. In the old days, when sailors or hunters or ex­ plorers ran into foul weath­ er, or fair, they could use the stars to give them a course away from the unde­ sirable elements. In bad weather, glimpses of the stars are few and far be­ tween, but one glimpse is enough. McHenry FS board members meet following the election of directors at the annual meeting last week. From left, front, are Harvey Fedrowitz, Marengo; Don Stoxen, Harvard; Robert Gardner, Solon Mills; and Stanley Steagall, general manager. In back are William Cristy, Wonder Lake; Ray Deneen, Marengo; Carroll Lohmeyer, Woodstock; Richard Walters, Woodstock; John Tueting, Elkhorn, Wis., and Glen Benoy, Alden. (DON PEASLEY PHOTOGRAPHY) "Crop Prices Are Headed For TroubleSteagall With high oil prices draining off food dollars from the best cash food customers farmers have, Stanley Steagall, general manager of McHenry FS, last week told a record crowd of 660 at the annual meeting that "crop prices are headed for trouble." Elaborated Steagall as he looked ahead to the 1975 season: "We must see a healthy economy at hand so demand will go up. Today farmers have expenses going up while prices for the things they have to sell are going down." Steagall said the farmer- owned cooperative "can't do much about the prices or the economy," but added, "What we can do is be efficient to make a contribution to provide farmers with a dependable source of supply at the lowest i possible year end net cost." In the election of directors, John Tueting, Elkhorn, and Ray Deneen, Marengo, were reelected to the board. Dick Walters, Woodstock, was elected to the board, filling the vacancy that was created when L. Russell Beard, Hebron, retired from the board. Beard has been on the McHenry FS board since 1947, helping found the predecessor company of McHenry FS. Increased earnings as a result of varying price in­ creases caused by higher prices the company had to pay evened out over the year so that McHenry FS had record ear­ nings of $948,747 on net sales of $8,287,685. By contrast, Steagall said sales the preceding year were $54 million. Because of the good earnings, McHenry FS returned to Farm Bureau member customers $664,523 as patronage refunds. Steagall warned that the FS system will require heavy capital outlay to construct n e c e s s a r y f e r t i l i z e r manufacturing plants and this will be financed through the earnings of member com­ panies. from HISTORY'S SCRAPB00K DATES AND EVENTS FROM YESTERYEARS March 7, 1876-Alexander Graham Bell received a patent for his new invention--the telephone. March 8. 1917-The Russian Revolution began with rioting in the streets of St. Petersburg. March 9, 1832-Abraham Lincoln started his political career by announcing as a candidate for the Illinois legislature. You must know that there are five constellations of s t a r s i n o u r h e m i s p h e r e which never sink below the horizon-Big Dipper, Little Dipper, Draco, Cepheus and Cassiopeia. The lip of the Big Dipper always points to the North Star-also always visible. In this hemisphere weath­ er moves west to east, and bad weather counter clock­ wise. A direction bearing from the stars can point the way to the warmer south, away from the center of a hurricane or storm,etc. And the stars, unlike a compass, never fail. HOLD JOB SEMINAR - On Wednesday, Feb. 19, a Job seminar was presented in McHenry County college student union by Bill Thorn, right, and Ron Wagner, left, of Job Brokers. Items discussed were: Are there jobs available? Where are they, how can I get one, and how should I present myself during the interview? In view of the current job situation of layoffs and rising unemployment, students showed complete interest in the seminar. Wagner stated that currently, the best fields for one to enter due to job demand are the insurance industry, data processing, engineering and fast food services. He went on to say that a student should have a pretty good idea as to what field he or she wishes to enter before approaching a job placement agency. By having a specific field in mind, the counselor will have more time to spend with the applicant. Wagner also stated that appearance, verbal response and attire-in short, how one presents himself--are more important than qualifications during a job interview.
