GAYLORD PHOTO d fattier front kotna Enrico Caruso Enrico Caruso, an Italian operatic tenor, had one of the most brilliant voices in the history of music. Caruso, who lived from 1873 to 1921, won international fame as creator of the leading tenor role at the world premiere of Fedora. His success was almost unparalleled. He mastered at least 67 operatic roles, and his repertoire included about 500 songs. Recordings of his matchless voice are still en­ joyed by music lovers every­ where. Early in his career, Caruso was standing in the wings, fearfully waiting to go onstage. The stagehands were surprised to hear someone say, "Get out of my way, you little me. I'm a big me, and I need room to g£t out on that stage." (Actually, he was small in stature.) „ £ Then the stagehands realized that Caruso was talk­ ing to himself, mustering up courage and self-confi- dgnce. But they were not cheering for the "little me" in Caruso. They were applauding the "big me," the Garuso of pride. Norman Vincent Peale, who tells this story about Caruso, says that within each of us is a "little me" and a "big me" The "little me" tells us we are a nobody, that we can never amount to much. The "big me" reassures us that we are a somebody, that we can achieve some goals in life. This kind of pride is not arrogance or haughtiness. It's not a pride that runs roughshod over others. Rather, it is a healthy self-image, a conviction we can go onstage and sing our little piece -- even though we may never be Japan Protects Rare Species a Caruso. R. J. Hastings is editor of The Illinois Baptist in Springfield Although the Japanese live on small and crowded islands they treasure the many natural beauties of their land. The Government carefully enforces the various laws designed to protect the environment. A recent survey reviewed the nation's natural assets; as a result some 20,000 cases (locations or species of animals) qualified for administrative protection. Among these are the Japan­ ese cranes. This rare species inhabits the Kushiro District of Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island. Nearly 300 of these unusual and beautiful birds live in the protected area. Parish Youth Present Easter Sunrise Service The youth of Greenwood- Ringwood parish will be presenting the Sunrise service at 6:30 Easter morning at the Greenwood United Methodist church.

If you're in business for yourself, you should mind your business instead of your pension plan. Your time and specialized know­ ledge are too valuable to the business you manage to spend time at another specialty . . . pension plans. That's why the bank offers interest-bearing Indi­ vidual Retirement Accounts (I R A). So the bank, not you, handles all the details. Our I R As are designed for persons not under an approved pension or retire­ ment plan. Depositors place up to $1,500 a year into a retirement fund for them­ selves. Funds for 1978 may be added up to the time your tax return is due this year, and they need not be deposited on a regular schedule. There's no more red tape in opening an I R A than in opening an ordinary savings account. In effect, that's all it is . . .a long-term account. If you have questions about an I R A, check with any of our officers. When they tell you about retire- •ftnent savings . . . you can BANK on it!

RICHMOND RD. (ROUTE 31 NORTH) McHENRY, ILL. Dear McHenry County Taxpayer: Once again, it is time for spring yard work, field work, planting and school board elections. Along with the elections in your own unit or consolidated districts, there will be also held the election of 3 seats on the McHenry County College Board of Trustees McHenry County College is a fine institution serving all of McHenry County and is financed by student tuition, state aid and most importantly by your real estate taxes. It has always been my observation that the College board representation, while not required by law to be geographically distributed, would possibly better serve the taxpayers and students alike if more areas of the coun­ ty would be represented. This year we have an opportunity to select 3 very qualified candidates all from different areas and $11 with dif­ ferent backgrounds and areas of expertise HERBERT W. LUTTER of Cary - farm owner and attorney, has previous experience on the board, and is presently board chairman MS. LANITA BURRIS OF Woodstock - mother of 3 children, has been a student at MCC, has served as the student trustee on the board and is well versed in college matters. GENE MEYER of rural Marengo - well known grain and livestock farmer, will being the experience of many years of service on Riley School Board and Riley township board, to the McHenry County College Board Personally, we endorse and support these 3 individuals and sincerely ask your consideration and your votes for them on Saturday, April 14,1979. v Yours for a Successful McHenry County College Ruth Johnson Jim Book Shirley Book Wm.
