DECEMBER II, lW "MEANWHILE BACK AT THE COURTHOUSE" LOUISA'S %LETTER This December 17 will be the seventeenth year that the McHenry County Audubon society has participated in the nationwide annual bird count. Starting in 1900, as an alternate for snipe hunting, twenty observers began recording the species sighted in one day. In 1975 there were 2,800 observers throughout the U.S., including Alaska and Hawaii and over 124 million individual birds were recorded. In McHenry county, eight teams of Audubon members and concerned persons will be out, if the weather cooperates, from dawn to dusk; some especially energetic people will start earlier and end later, in the hope of calling or see­ ing owls. These teams will be covering many of the roads and well known birding sites jn McHenry county. As in the past four years, Dave Frey will again be organizing and compiling the results of this census. Frey welcomes non-members to Join the day's activity. Being an expert at bird identification is not a strong necessity, as each group is led by a member who is expertise and can share observational abilities. Anyone who might want to participate either at home by watching his own bird feeder or joining with one of the teams, should call David Frey, 656 Margaret, Woodstock, for information. A trip to Northwestern university Technological in­ stitute was the highlight of a recent Science club field trip. Students toured the facilities and watched demonstrations given by the university's professors. Students along with Ron Glawe, the club's advisor, attended lectures on neutron stars, solar energy, radiation, and the different properties of gases. Activities Offered Science club, which has been an active organization for many years at McHenry high school, serves to promote student interest in science. It is also a means to promoting career education in the science area. The number of club ac­ tivities varies. Each year, besides taking several field trips, the club also hosts an annual science fair. As a member of the Illinois Junior Academy of Science, winners participate in the regional contest in DeKalb and advance to state science fair from there. /. In the , past two years McHenry has been well represented at state. Inthe last two years as many as five students from McHenry ad­ vanced to state. Among those were Brian O'Neill, Scott Crittenden, Tim True, Evelyn Olmen and Mike Giddings. Earth day is another special project of Science club. Students promote the recognition of this day through various displays and projects. Science club scholarships are awarded each year at^ graduation to a senior Science' club member. These awards are given to a student who is planning to continue their education in a scientific area. Past recepients have been successful in their future en­ deavors. Science club members are pursuing higher education in the areas of forensic chemistry, environmental educa t ion , chemis t ry , medicine, biology and nursing. The opportunities afforded students through participation in Science club are many. Students with a keen interest in science and who wish to pursue it as a life-long interest or career are well served by the activities Science club offers. Moving Farming's Mountains It requires the moving: of mountains of sorts to keep supermarket shelves and other food sources filled. Consider only the begin­ ning of the food cycle, the farm, which now rivals con­ struction or warehousing in amounts of materials han­ dled. As an example, there's the ^airyman. A modern, effi- lt family dairy farm now can produce some one mil­ lion pounds of milk a year. But to produce that amount of milk, the family dairy farm operation might han­ dle something like 3,000 tons of materials, like feed, seed, fertilizer, animal bedding and wastes. Is it any wonder that mechanization has moved from farm fields to areas in and around barns and other central buildings to handle such large amounts of mate­ rials. The modern workhorse on the typical family farm is becoming the skid-steer loader, which handles the GET PROFESSIONAL carpet cleaning results!

OUR PUBLIC LANDS According to figures recently published, the Federal govern­ ment holds more than 725 mil­ lion acres of national forests, parks, wildlife refuges, public domain and other lands in trust for the American people. This land has been acquired, in large part, by money supplied by hunt­ ers. Statisticians at Remington Arms have determined that taxes levied on sportsmen have raised more than $3 billion over the past half century. These dollars have contributed greatly to the cause of wildlife preservation and land conservation. f Dear Louisa, I have heard over the air a terrible account of the exploitation of little children by these adult monsters who defile and degrade these little ones. It made me sick on my stomach to think that anyone could be that low and filthy. What are our legislators doing about this? Why can't these fieople " be locked up where they can't hurt young­ sters who are nd| able to pro­ tect themselves? How in the world has our country got in such a state that people like this have the nerve to protest that they have the right to do these things? What can we do? Troubled-Ill. Answer: I think one reason the '•y* country has got in such a sorry state as far as the protection of little children is concerned, is because people, such as you and I, could not imagine that such things could happen to children. With this new per­ missiveness, regarding morals and sex, radicals become very bold and think they can get away with all kinds of sexual misbehavior. However, I think we are beginning to wake up to what is happening and will not be content to sit back and close our eyes any longer. Write to your legislators, demanding stricter laws and stricter enforcement of them. Every letter will help. Louisa S.C. 29115 SAVE NOW FOR CHRISTMAS I Mtoriaty (2% Hr,< $5.00 Min.)
