SECTION 2 - PAGE I - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 13, 'Td Site Of First Silo rv ,-L mr-3 Arnold Kattner, 801 Main street road, Spring Grove, indicates the site of what is reported to be the first silo built on this continent. The excavation for it is still visible on the farm which Kattner now owns and operates. In 1873 this farm belonged to Fred Hatch, who had the idea for the silo while he was a university student at what was then called Illinois Industrial university at Champaign. Fred Hatch was one of Spring Grove's early settlers, born on this farm where he later developed the ideas for corn silage and silos, all of which are parts of American farming taken for granted today. He has finally received recognition for this idea after 100 years. The Law Serves You Thoughtful Consumer Avoids Financial Problems The American consumer of the 1970's has come to accept easy credit and "buying on time" as second nature, but safeguards should be exercised each " time a purchase agreement is signed. The Illinois State Bar Association cautions that the availability of easy credit has led a significant number of persons to the edge of bankruptcy and beyond. Before agreeing to make a purchase which will commit you to making future payments on a fixed schedule, be sure your budget will allow you to meet the payments without an undue strain on other financial commitments. The ISBA also advises consumers to be aware that the bargains vary widely in in­ stallment buying. Since bank interest rates are usually lower than rates charged by the retailer who finances in­ stallment payments, it is wise to try to obtain a personal loan from a bank (or savings and loan) which can be repaid by monthly payments. If you are a member of a credit union, check interest rates there. By law, you must be told the cash price, the finance charges and the annual rate of interest when making a purchase. Compare the total charges under an installment plan with the cash price of the mer­ chandise, and then shop for the best terms available for financing the purchase. The Illinois State Bar Association offers these other tips when making a purchase under a credit arrangement: Don't fail to carefully read every document you are asked to sign. If the amount is in the hundreds of dollars and you don't understand the fine print, ask your lawyer to advise you. Before you sign, make sure all blank spaces are filled in. Understand that when you sign the contract, illness or loss of job does not excuse you from making prompt payments. Be sure to get a copy of the in­ stallment contract at the time you sign it, and make sure the seller has also signed it. Uranium Uranium is probably the world's most important nuclear metal. Others include thorium, beryllium, zirconium and haf­ nium, caesium and ribidium, and rare earths Development of nu­ clear power and its related in­ dustries has expanded the search for and the production of these various metals, although at the present time there is a surplus of production of uranium. Soybean Stocks Second Largest Carryover of old crop soybeans into the 1976-77 marketing year totaled 244 million bushels on Sept. 1, 1976.

The Sept. 1 stocks in all positions are 32 percent more than a year ago and 43 percent above the 1974 level. Soybeans stored on farms totaled a record high 85 million bushels, exceeding the previous record high of 1975 by 10 million bushels. This is 13 percent above last year and 31 percent above two years ago. Off-farm stocks at 159 million bushels are 44 percent higher than Sept. 1, 1975 and 49 percent above Sept. 1, 1974.

The day was cold and rainy but all was not lost thanks to the fine people who are in charge there. The children got a crash course in apple picking (inside, of course) and then were treated to a tour of the entire facility. Children returning to Holiday Hills, full of apples and new experiences to share were, Doris Decker, David Cole, Kim Downs, Jill and Kris Hoglund, Debbie Holtz, Val Nothnagel, and Heather Olson. The kids agree that a great time was had by all. CHRISTIAN LUNCHEON The Lord certainly blessed us with an afternoon of Christian fellowship and love this past week. A delightful luncheon was served in the new home of Cathy Siattia of Prairie Grove. Those who attended and rejoiced with her were Pat Hughes, Mim DeWitt, Dee Wegener, Betty Guethrie, Carolyn Ritthaler, Joyce Michaels and her mother, Marie, Cathy Beltz, Marilyn Gauwitz, Pat Toposki, Jackie Hauschild, Helen Walters, Sally Carroll and this reporter. A beautiful time was had by all. THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH The event of the season is finally at hand. The Women's club luau will be held tonight at Casey's hall starting at 6:30.

GET WELL WISHES Get well wishes are sent to Lori Johnson who is undergoing tests at St. Therese and to Tracy Gauwitz who has a very sore hand with very many stitches due to a fall. We ask the Lord's healing power upon these two. H H P O A . The Holiday Hills Property Owners association met last week to welcome John Scheider as their new president. John will be replacing Roger Saunders who is retiring in order to devote full attention to his position as president of the village board. The association decided at that meeting to sell the truck that had been used for" road maintenance and to change its format to one of village recreation now that the responsibility of the roads has been removed. The group will be in charge of the beach and any future facility. The association has also pledged its support to our village board and they will be working together for the benefit of our entire community. VILLAGE NEWS At a special meeting of the board of trustees, the main topic of importance was the acquisition of a village hall. Not only would the hall provide much needed office space for use by the village clerk and other officials, but would offer to the community a stability and confidence of permanence of the village. It is hoped that other activities could utilize the building. Another topic that was raised was the need for municipal insurance which is now being checked The next regular board meeting will be held the third Thursday of the month. Again it is urged that you at­ tend.
