\ ***************** ̂ >• State Police j: j: News Notes i ,. • '"'<v 4 The ever increasing cost of agri-chemicals has made them the target for theft more than ever before. Last year, ac cording to the Illinois Uniform Crime report, pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers necessary to the production of corn and soybeans, were stolen in nearly every county in Illinois. The report shows the value of stolen chemicals to be $137,256.00. Lieutenant Gerald Schilling, commander of the Illinois State Police Criminal Investigations district, believes that the figure is much higher. "Many thefts are never reported to the police and some Illinois Police agencies do not feed the Uniform Crime Reporting Stystem with information about thefts occurrring in their jurisdictions," Schilling said. "We think that $250,000 is a more realistic figure." Several large manufacturers of farm chemicals have developed identification systems to aid law enforcement officials in tracing stolen chemicals. "Identification systems help," said Schilling, "But what we really need is theft prevention through better security of storage facilities and the cooperation of farmers and dealers in reporting thefts or attempted thefts." State Police Sergeant Robert D. Lamb, Criminal In vestigation district zone supervisor at Elgin, has suggested ways that area farmers and dealers can help. First, keep areas where chemicals are stored well lighted. Most burglaries occur under the cover of darkness - don t make the thief's job easy. Second, Invest in a good quality physical security device - cheap locks are child's play for burglars. Good quality locks that are hard to com promise take more time to open and may be enough to discourage a thief. Third, organize neighborhood watch programs. If you see strange vehicles in a neigbhor's driveway, note the vehicle typet* color, make and if possible, the license number. A license number written in the dust on your tractor will keep you from forgetting it until you can transcribe it on paper. Even though you don't see anyting taken, the information may be valuable later since burglars will often case a farmer's buildings for entry at a later time. . Fourth, be wary of unrealistic bargains on agricultural chemicals. Because of the Continuing scarcity of these products, dealers don't have to sell door- to-door or at cut-rate prices - buy only from established dealers. Fifth, don't advertise the location of stored chemicals by leaving doors to a storage building open. Sixth, local dealers should utilize the identification system offered by the manufacturer. This won't prevent theft, but it will be of value to authorities if a theft should occur. Ad ditionally, thieves are more reluctant to steal something that they know can be iden tified. "Most important, call us," said Sergeant Lamb. "We need help from the public if we are to make any real headway against this or any other type of criminal activity. Call us collect at 312-742-3553."

April 16,23,30, 1975) Performance Of "Fiddler" For Senior Citizens In addition to the four regular performances of "Fiddler on the Roof" on April 24-27, the directors have announced a special performance for all Senior Citizens and Gold Card holders Tuesday, April 22. There is no charge for this performance. The play, based on the writings of Sholem Alecheim, is an excellent choice for a spring musical, and the cast is progressing well. With the opening night so close and the special preview even closer, all of the cast and crew are moving into high gear in preparation. At the time thaKj.he special show was announced, the directors added a desire to avoid much of the over crowding in the audience of recent years. Obviously, there is a limit to the amount of seating space,but in the past only three of the four nights have faced sell-out crowds. The directors point out that the Thursday evening performance usually has seats open during the show. People outside of the area often hear about McHenry musicals and drive a great distance to see them, only to be turned away due to lack of room. The directors urge all able to attend opening night to do so, so that more people can see "Fiddler on the Roof". Everyone is urged to seek out cast members for advanced tickets for the performances Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, April 24, 25, 26, and 27. fVolcl imported GALLIANO LIQU0RE CANADIAN MIST f PAGE 5>PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 1975 * I 9 ft 3 98 1/10 fgo-Cfta* h % A 1 M A D * * I MIUAIN HID c M M Kf>}i FREE!
