BANK N0TE$ BY DONALD DALEY PRESIDENT FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY First Coin In History About 650 to 700 years before Christ, along the coast of what is now Tur­ key, the Kingdom of Lydia was flourishing but its' role in history would likely be little remembered except that they happened upon an idea that provided them immortality as the first country to issue a coin. These pieces were crude bean shaped lumps ofelec- trum, a natural alloy of silver and gold that aboun­ ded along the river's edge. While metal had long been weighed in many lands for purposes of transactions, the Lydian idea wastopro- duce at one time, a quan­ tity of convenient shaped fixed weight pieces of pre­ cious metal, adding the inn­ ovation of stamping the pie­ ces with official symbols. These little lumps were formed in a mold and such as they were, are regar­ ded as the first coin. Lydia was also the first to coin a pure gold coin... in 560 B.C. under King Croesus whose reputation for fabulous wealth provi­ ded the basis for the once popular saying "rich as Croesus". Croesus coins show facing heads of a lion and a bull....symbols of ro­ yal power. Lydia was con­ quered by Persia in 546 B.C. Whether you are interested in saving money...or bor­ rowing, you'll find FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY most accommodating! You will also recieve fast, per­ sonal service..with a smile!

SENIOR CITIZEN'S Bi cautious when considering buying a share in a dude ranch, ski area or the many other recreational-type developments on the market today. David Hansen and Thomas Dickinson, professors at the University of California's Davis campus recently completed a study of undivided interest recreation developments in California. According to the study buyers are often unaware of how many memberships will be sold, what the future cost will be or whether there will be over­ crowding. The number of remote rec­ reational developments in which all members share equally in use and ownership has in­ creased rapidly in the past few The next meeting of the Lakeland Park Women's club will be held Thursday, Feb. 5, at 12:30 p.m., at the Lakeland Park community house, 1717 North Sunset avenue. The project in progress at this time is the white elephant and bake shle to be held Saturday, Feb. 21, at the Community house from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The public is invited to attend. There visitors will find "almost an: tique" items and delicious culinary treats. years, says Hansen. Projects range in size from 160 to 14.000 acres, with the projected number of owners varying from ap­ proximately 400 to 2,500. Five potential problems in­ herent in undivided interest developments that prospective buyers should consider carefully (according to the study done by the two professors): --Overpricing. --Difficulty in reselling. --Overcrowding. In general, the spacious quality of the developments tends to disappear as memberships are sold. --Wrong impressions. Artist's conceptions as outlined on a brochure may deviate substan­ tially from the finished project. --Membership requirements. Clauses could restrict member­ ship to an "elite" group, or the characteristics of the member­ ship rules might allow members whose behavior would be objec­ tionable to the prospective buyer RECIPE By Sarah Anne Sheridan Seafood prepared by any method goes over big at our house. • Sea Food Southern % c small scallops 2 eggs 2 c cooked rice % c boiled shrimp 2 T diced onion 2 T fat Yk c tomato catsup Vz t celery salt 1 t curry powder Combine liquid from scallops with slightly beat­ en eggs.
