Prizes will be awarded lor the best costumes and there will be games. KINDERGARTEN FIELD TRIP According to Mrs. Mavis Bagby, kindergarten teacher at Harrison School, half the fun of going some place is the an­ ticipation. And so, every day since the first of October, her class has been marking off each day until Wednesday, Oct. 15. finally arrived, the day of a field trip to Oriole Springs Orchard and Mrs. Bagby's farm in Richmond. At the orchard, the children watched apples being graded and saw many bushels of the shiny red fruit, lined up and ready to be sold. Mrs. Bagby bought some of the apples to take back to school where she will demonstrate how apple sauce is made. Other in­ teresting sights at the orchard were fresh dorluts being made, huge novelty pumpkins weighing over 100 lbs. each, donkeys, and geese who hissed at the students through the fence. After a picnic lunch at the Bagby farm, the youngsters saw that the animals were fed, too, including Bessie, the cow, some pigs, a rabbit (who escaped from his cage and when finally caught, was happy to be back in his hutch), a dog, twenty-five chickens, nine cats and some sheep, which they found could run faster than they could. From the Bagby garden, pumpkins and corn shocks were picked to be taken back to school. Potatoes and carrots were dug and squash was passed around for the children to take home to their moms. A true feeling of "freedom" was experienced by the children as they ran through the hay field and climbed up to the rafters in the hay mow at the Zarnstorff bam, next door to the Bagbys. Before climbing on the bus to return to school, the children learned how butter is made and each took a turn at the churn. Crackers spread with freshly made butter were enjoyed by all, including the moms who went along as chaperones. Mrs. Bagby praised the excellent behavior and cooperation of her class as well as their enthusiasm. After a day filled with activities, no one even fell asleep on the way home!

Approximately 40-45 persons attended the first meeting held in the Learning Resource Center at Harrison school. Four definite, things came from this meeting; a parade, fireworks, a ski show and that the celebration will be on July 4, 1976.

State Revenue Outlook Grim; Representative State Rep. Cal Skinner, Jr. (R-Crystal Lake) stated that the state's revenue outlook was "grim" after reviewing the final staff report of the official revenue estimating agency of the legislature. "It really looks much worse <• in the Common School and General Funds than I ever imagined,"said Skinner, who serves as a member of that legislative revenue estimating, agency, the Illinois Economic and Fiscal commission. "Data in the commission's preliminary report, which I received just over a week ago, indicated that Illinois could be in the red more than $150 million. After extracting that information from the rather poorly written report, I was shocked," Skinner revealed. "Up to now, Illinois sales and income tax receipts have been holding up very well compared to the rest of the country" the former McHenry county tax collector pointed out. "That was because our unem­ ployment rate has consistently been lower than the national average. "Last month, however, our unemployment rate was higher than the national average and, our staff reports, we can expect it to remain higher than average for the near future. "The reason is that the economy in Illinois tends to lag behind the national economy. When unemployment hits other areas, Illinois tends to weather the storm pretty well. Un­ fortunately, it appears that when the economy in the rest of the nation starts toward recovery, Illinois does not immediately follow." "I'll tell you one thing," Skinner said, "until very serious budget cutting efforts are made and fail, there's no way I'm going to vote for a higher sales or income tax." Select Young Vlolonlst For Concert Series The premiere season of C o m m u n i t y C o n c e r t s association of Crystal Lake is sold out, and the board of directors has announced the selection of Stephanie Chase, 18-year-old violin virtuoso, as the fourth program for the 1975- 76 season. Miss Chase will appear in a solo violin recitaHTif* April 5, 1976. Miss Chase was a child prodigy, and at the age of 8 had already won several important awards and appeared on television. Since 1970 she has appeared with major or­ chestras throughout the United States. In the last three years she has played more than 100 recitals. The highlight of last season was her appearance as soloist with the Chicago Symphony. Miss Chase plays on a Guarneri violin made in 1742.

Senior Citizen Council Plans To Attend Ice Follies "The McHenry County Senior Citizen's council is making plans for a trip to the Ice Follies sometime in early November", said Marge Jones, executive director for the council. "We will probably go in for a 10 a.m. show on a Saturday morning", she said, "so we can take ad­ vantage of the special rates. Then on the way back, we will probably stop at a smorgasbord for lunch. The council will pick up the cost of the bus. Interested persons should call us 338-6075 or 455-2660 so bus arrangements can be made. If telephone service does not extend to either Crystal Lake or Woodstock, persons should feel free to call collect. "Watch your local papers for further notice of this trip", Mrs. Jones concluded.
