Farm Bureau Sets 44 Goal In Member Drive W i t h a g o a l o f f o r t y - t o u r n o w members, McHenry County Farm Bureau workers are teaming up to invite farmers to join during a four-day mem­ bership drive that started this week. The emphasis is on regular members during this drive, said David Gardner, mem­ bership drive chairman - that is, persons who are farmers or have an active interest in farming. "It is our ambition to sign a total of 334 members during the membership year ending Aug. 31," added Gardner, and about 100 have been signed since last Aug. 31. Our immediate con­ cern is to have farmers become a part of the organization, an organization that represents farmers in legislative, marketing and informational activities." Membership stands at over 4,000, up significantly since the annual meeting report last September when the total was an all-time high of 3,966. Teams to work in this membership drive have been formed from various town­ ships, as follows: Alden-Hebron townships; Chemung-Dunham t o w n s h i p s ; H a r t l a n d - Greenwood; Richmond-Burton- McHenry; Marengo-Riley;. Seneca-Dorr; Coral-Grafton; and Nunda-Algonquin. Country companies and McHenry FS personnel, along with Farm Bureau staff members, will help farmer workers in this invitation to join Farm Bureau. One of the key current sfreas concerns legislative activity where farmers are keeping an anxious eye on what happens if surpluses accumulate and prices are depressed. Will the federal government intefere with some kind of regulations, or will it let the free market system function? asked Gard­ ner. Marketing is another area where Farm Bureau is in­ creasingly active. From setting up their own export programs to bombarding President Ford with demands that he keep the federal government out of the export process, are examples of market concern. List Summer Jobs For '76 More than 90,000 paying jobs throughout the United States and Canada are available to high school seniors, college students, and teachers for the 1976 summer season. Complete information on each of these jobs is contained in the 1976 edition of Summer Employment Directory of the United States. The result of extensive nation-wide research, 1976 S u m m e r E m p l o y m e n t Directory of the United States provides details-name and address of employer, type of work, duration, pay rates, etc.,- -on a wide variety of interesting positions, such as camp directors, instructors, and lifeguards; summer theater directors, actors, and stage hands; guides, waiters and waitresses for resorts, hotels, national parks, and amusement centers; and many others. Also featured are tips from the nation's leading authorities on summer employment showing how to make effective application, write professional resumes and cover letters.

In addition, Gardner notes far­ mers are increasingly active in trying to communicate with city people about farming, some of the questions that concern farmers, and some of the challenges involved in producing food. " W i t h o u t e x c e p t i o n . ^ reception has been friendly, even eager. The exchange with city people to live on the farm for a weekend worked out well Our visits to the shopping centers with other county Farm Bureaus in the Consumer In- foramtion committee project has generated much good will," he said •We want to do more of this We need members to help us reach out to the great number of non-farm people. Farmers comprise only 4.4 percent of the U.S. population so we have a big job ahead." The Veterans administration treats more than 1.1 million patients in 171 hospitals each year. Domiciliary and nursing home care is provided for another 30,000 patients.
