From left, they are Margie Becker, Julie Huml, Carrie Mortell, Joe Weyland and Cheri Rhode. A visit and tour of the Dwight Correctional center was the highlight of a Social Science lesson for five McHenry high students. These five youngsters, along with fifty other Illinois high schoolers and representatives of the League of Women Voters spent all day on tour. Paul Buckley, Social Science teacher at East, helped coor­ dinate this effort through his Criminal Justice class. For those students with career aspirations in the justice system this was a rare op­ portunity. The day was spent touring the facility as well as meeting with the warden and staff in an afternoon question and answer session. Janet Conway, a represen­ tative of the League of Women Voters, traveled along with the students. The League's special project this year is an examination and study of the state's correctional system. Through this project, McHenry's youngsters were able to witness our criminal justice system in action and speak to the staff and warden. The farmer of the future may ask a computer for advice before he feeds his livestock or fertilizes his fields. Students in an agriculture class at McHenry County college got a chance to see what that kind of future farming will be like when two federal government specialists brought a computer to their classroom this semester. The computer experts came to the college from the National Fertilizer Development center of the Tennessee V Alley authority. They showed the fourteen students enrolled in Marshall Dennis' "Chemicals as Fertilizers" course how a computer can help them pick the least expensive com­ bination of fertilizers to do a job. The students, who are in their second year at MCC, found it fascinating to watch the computer system calculate the thirty or forty variations of chemicals they could use to produce a desired yield per acre, and then analyze costs of the aternatives. For the students, who have spent hours this semester collecting data to make similar calculations, the computer demonstration was an eye- opener, Dennis said. He explained that the TVA uses a time-sharing computer system which does everything from keeping track of the world supply of available fertilizer to analyzing formulation techniques for the fertilizer blender. Fertilizer producers sub­ scribe to the system to learn about fertilizer use in all areas of the world and to determine their own production amounts, while farm cooperatives and operators of large farms turn to the system for specific fer­ tilizer prescriptions to cope with varying soil problems. The computer system is so sophisticated it can even tell fertilizer users at what price it becomes poor economics to use a certain chemical, Dennis said, and the use of the system has resulted in major savings for many farmers. Dennis said that the system even in­ corporates ways to fool the computer to keep it from recommending mixing chemicals that would be dif­ ficult to apply to the soil together or might be in­ compatible once applied. A similar computer system could be developed to deter­ mine rations for livestrck feeding, Dennis said^Jind this is the type of sophistication farmers will be faced with in the future. . The two TVA specialists, Norman L. Hargett and J. Darwin Bridges, also took time to answer students questions about the computer-time sharing service and to intake arrangements with MCC to set up demonstration plots for a newly-developed fertilizer. Dennis said the plots on MCC land will test the use of sulfur- coated urea, a timed-release type of fertilizer, on both corn and turf plots. He said the college would like to hQjSt an open house to allow local fer­ tilizer users a chance to see the results of the demonstration plots next year. "Work by the National Fertilizer Development center has played a key role in keeping the costs of fertilizer down over the past 20 years. With the increased use of the computer to make fertilizer use more Efficient and cost-conscious, we can hope that the cost will remain stable even as inflation continues," Dennis told his students.

Then one day, zingo! I can remember the exact place he starts finding fault with me and the children. Every discussion where I don't agree he says I am "arguing" with him. There's never a good night or good morning, never a please or a thank you. He never smiles or talks to me. I have tried to get him to a doctor but he doesn't think he needs one. I feel I should stick with him but maybe he'd be better off without me. Can you give me any kind of answer? A. If you hive a husband who is wonderful part of the year and terrible another part of the year, you at least have a 50 per cent average. And believe me, a lot of women haven't cot that much. There is no doubt that your husband loves you and, of course, he needs you. He couldn't get along without you. But to live with such a person requires a lot of understanding and patience. His "split personality" can be cured, and he is very mistaken in thinking that he does not need osvcholi written a book called The A_. r chapter, 'JStudy YourtMan." It explains how a wife can acquire the patience and understanding needed in order to cope. Perhaps your local library hat a copy of this book. Becoming a "Zombie" In Grief Q.

And he wants you to have the same peace, which can come only from God.

What suddenly goes wrong with those we thought were our friends? I have known this lady many years. She turned to me with her problems and came to me in the unhappy times. For sdme reason in the last several years there are times she doesn't call for days or doesn't come to see me. She works and I understand her time isn't hers any more, but she manages time for those she has just recently met. I admit it hurts me as I defended her and sincerely liked her. To make it worse none of my family lives here and several of my friends have moved to other states. Can you give me an answer? Q. How much money am I entitled to under the Circuit Breaker law? A. The law's two tax relief programs provide up to $600 annually--$500 in property tax relief and $100 in additional tax relief~to qualified senior and disabled citizens of Illinois. The property tax relief program is based on the ratio of the person's property taxes to his income. Property tax relief grants last year averaged $162. The additional tax relief program, signed into law in 1975 by the governor, is based on income, and grants have averaged $80. Q. Is there a deadline for filing my claim? A. Yes, Citizens who have not filed for Circuit Breaker tax relief for any years between 1972 and 1976 have until Dec. 31, 1977 to apply with the state. Beginning Jan. 1, 1978, rAaximum property tax relief grants will increase from $500 to $650 with a one-year limitation on the filing period for tax relief claims. Q. Would the money I receive under the Circuit Breaker law ever have to be paid back? A. No. These are grants, not loans. Q. Is it possible for people to qualify for both tax relief grants? A. Yes. And thousands of people have. Anyone who qualifies for property tax relief qualifies automatically for additional tax relief. That's because the age or disability, residency, and annual h o u s e h o l d i n c o m e requirements of the two programs are nearly identical. Q. The words, "household income," are used in the qualifications for both programs. What does "household income" mean? A. It means the total annual income of the applicant and spouse, if the spouse lives in the same residence as the ap­ plicant. The income of anyone else living in the residence need not be declared The income sources, listed on the ap­ plication form, include any wages, social security benefits, other pension or annuity benefits, interest or dividend income, or any net income you received. You should know that household income includes both taxable and non-taxable in­ come. The grants are based on total income-whether subject to the iBttpnfetAx or not. Q. Is ttretVW&p available for filling ootst&q>f»pHcation form?, A. Yes, and without cost.

Hughes of Woodstck received the Illinois Farm Bureau's Distinguished Service to Agriculture award for 1977. The award, highest bestowed by the state-wide farm organization, was presented to Hughes Dec. 2 in a general session of the Farm Bureau's i annual meeting in St. Louis' Stouffer's Riverfront Towers. Hughes takes an active part in the operation of the family farm, a partnership with his two sons, Robert and Earl Jr., in their 1,850 acre hybrid seed operation-hybrid seed corn, seed oats, and soybeans. They also have a 75-cow Holstein dairy herd with sales of breeding stock. A 1929 University of Illinois agriculture graduate, Hughes specialized in marketing and farm management and earned his doctorate from Cornell university in 1938. He worked as an educator in agricultural economics with the Illinois Cooperative Extension service and set up the Northeastern Illinois Farm Bureau Farm Management service and was its first fieldman. He resigned in 1943 to become a full-time farmer. He served as president of his local school board. In 1956, he was elected to the University of Illinois board Of trustees and served as its president 1969-1975. After serving as a consultant to Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, he was named administrator of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation service and executive vice-president of the Commodity Credit corporation, serving from 1954 to late 1956. He was on the McHenry County Farm Bureau board and served as an officer for four years. He was a member of the Illinois Farm Bureau board of directors from 1947 to 1964. Think Plan ahead-it wasn't S^when b̂uih •Record, Columbia, S.C. (Editor's note: This is another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service & Community Mental Health Center staff. This ar­ ticle is "Coping Exhibitionism.") Exhibitionism is not necessarily a serious psychiatric problem and does not always lead to more serious psychiatric or sexually deviate behavior. It is, however, quite obviously very disturbing to the community and can have some long standing consequences to the victim of the exhibitionism. It is a grave mistake to make light of the disorder, or to treat it as a relatively harmless act. The disorder itself is a com­ pulsion, a driving force that the exhibitionist finds impossible to resist. The disorder is listed in psychiatric terms as a character disorder, which in practical terms means that the disorder is extremely resistent to treatment for a variety of rpa cAns As the victims of the exhibitionist are quite often small children or adolescents, tt is the feeling of most professionals that the protection of the community must take priority. Usually, law enforcement officals are involved from the beginning of the case, as few exhibitionists enter treatment until they have been identified by the police. This is one instance in which the law enforcement officials can be a part of the treatment seldom successful with traditional psychotherapy. A punitive and-or behavior modification technique is often necessary to convince the in­ dividual that continuation of his behavior will make life ex­ tremely uncomfortable. Heavy fines and strict probationary terms are sometimes effective in bringing hhis point across. Medication and behavior modification by the professional therapist can also be of value. Even with these rather energetic efforts, the problem often remains ex­ tremely resistent to treatment. Have a thorough eye examination at least every 2 years after age 35, recom­ mends the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, 79 Madison avenue, New York, New York 10016 Winter Care Of House Plants House plants can help create a pleasant home environment. Small plants can add color and scenery to windows or tables, while large ones can soften and Mend with groups of furniture. However, many people are often puzzled as to why some house plants thrive while others refuse to flourish even with tender loving care, says James A. Fizzell, horticulturist, University of Illinois Extension service in Cook couiity. First, you must realize that many house plants are really native to the tropical forest. So, it is necessary to create an environment that meets the basic needs of these plants. Plants vary considerably in their requirement for light. Such plants as Croton need direct sunlight while ' Philodendron or Swedish Ivy will grow under low light in­ tensity, says Fizzell. Incandescent light, or ar­ tificial fluorescent light 10 to 14 inches above the plants will provide enough light for plants that need medium intensity such as African Violets. If you use fluorescent tubes, use combination of half warm white and half cool white, Fizzell adds. Most house plants grow well between 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures above 75 degrees make plants more spindly, less retistspit to disease and insects and hasten the death of flowers. Since many house plants are of tropical origin, they need a higher humidity than is tuiially available in the average home Sprinkling or spraying jftants with water on bright day? may be helpful in raising? the humidity around the leaves. Growing plants together or setting them on a tray of gravel with moisture in the fray is also helpful. Improper watering is the cause of most house plant problems, says Fizzell. Both under and over watering may cause plants' leaves to yellow and fall off. Be sure the con­ tainer in which the plant is growing has adequate drainage. Never let the plant stand in water continuously. Most house plants, except those with hairy leaves, respond to an occasional hath. Syringing the plants weekly with a fine spray of clean Water removes accumulated dust and keeps the stomata (pores) open. Fizzell suggests showering small plants in the sink or shower. Broad-leaved plants, such as palms, may be cleaned by dusting with a soft cloth. Use a fine, soft brush, such as camel's hair, to clean hairy- leafed plants, concludes Fiz­ zell.
