SNOWSTORM HARDSHIPS With the big storm last weekend, a lot of people were inconvenienced when cars were stalled in snowdrifts. Snowmobilers were called on to help several people reach their destinations when there was no other way to get there. We are all indebted to these people for their assistance. RESCUE "50" Unfortunately "Rescue 50" had to be called off Jan. 14 due to snow conditions. Weather permitting, the "Rescue 50" will be run on Sunday, Jan. 21. The roads would have been impossible for pick-up crews, if there had been any disabled machines. If the good Lord is willing, the "Rescue 50" run will be Sun­ day, Jan. 21. You still have time to contact your favorite snowmobiler, for a pledge for benefit of the McHenry and Johnsburg Rescue squads. BIRTHDAYS Happy birthday to Marianna Visconti, Frank Adams and Chris Spencer Jan. 20, and to Tom Gutekunst Jan. 21. Jan. 22 is that special day for Mary Price and Leslie Mough; and on Jan. 24, we salute Christal Ackerman and Shawn McGowan.

DIAL A PRAYER 1-385-1234 Farm residents are less likely to be out of work than their non--farm counterparts, but they are more likely to be older and to earn less says David G. Plocher, McHenry county Extension adviser. These are among the highlights of a description of the U.S. farm population recently released by the Bureau of the Census and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economics, Statistics, and Cooperative Services (ESCS). The 19'/ farm population, at just over 7.8 million, continued to decline while small town and open country nonfarm population showed renewed growth. The report also shows: The average of farm residents was 35.2 years, about 6 years older than the non- farm population. Farm families (were more likely than non--farm families to be married couples and less likely to be headed by women. * Farm males out­ numbered farm females by 338,000. In contrast, females outnumbered males in the non--farm population. "Actual Use" Valuation Quali f ies Real Property The tax Reform act of 1976 provides for an "actual use" valuation for qualifying real property. Farmers who may benefit from farmland "actual use" valuation should consider taking steps now to insure that their estates will meet the qualifications, warns Don Uchtmann, University of Illinois Extension agricultural law specialist. In some cases, a gross estate could be reduced up to $500,000 by using "actual use" valuation, continues Ucht­ mann. * v Following are three requirements that must be met before an estate can qualify for "actual use" valuation. --Farmers or members of their family must materially participate in the management of the farming business. --The real and personal property used in farming must make up at least 50 percent of a farmer's assets. --The real property used in farming must make up at least 25 percent of their total assets. These rules may influence the kind of property that is transferred to others through gift-giving programs, con­ cludes Uchtmann.

In 1978 she had her first thin year since beginning her family. Pat has experi­ enced no difficulty main­ taining her entire weight loss. She attributes her success to sound nutrition, in­ creased physical activity and maintaining her own personal motivation. "1 learned it all at the Con­ way weekly seminars," says the smiling, self- confident Mrs. Bennett. The Conway weight reduc­ tion program consists of three main elements: • The Ideal IOOO calorie diet that includes all food groups and exceeds the established nutritional require­ ment for adults. • Weekly educational seminars that deal with the physical, nutritional and emotional causes of overweight. • The Forever Slim plan for permanently maintaining slimness. 1 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH- ' NEW MEMBERS--SAVE $5.00 Bring this coupon with you to any meeting listed and you will save $5.00 off the Initial Registration Fee of $6.00 and Weekly Seminar Fee of $3.00.

During the holidays den two had given a Christmas party for the boys and their parents. The boys made decorations and present for their parents. The moms received homemade bread baskets, and the dads' gifts were key and change holders, made out of bread dough, no less. What a unique gift! The party was held in Mr. Wiley's home and was a huge success. Some of the boys in den two have also been busy working toward awards. Among these is Joe Grandt who received his one year service star, and Andy Wiley who was given the recruiter's stripe. The boys are now getting ready for the coming Blue and Gold dinner, which is held in February.* However, the BJutf and Gold dinner involves a lot of work by both the den leaders and the boys. Our theme this years is Space and Aviation. Now, as I understand it den two's theme might be Star Wars, and I can't wait to see that! So says the VA. TVi G0INC RIGHT DOWN TO ENUST, MISS PEACH.
