Tillage Season At Hand Lakemoor-Lilymoor Margaret Karas 385-4934 Minimum tillage equipment that leaves tome residue on top of the ground during the discing and cultivating operation lessens soil erosion significantly, and the McHenry County Soil and Water Conservation district is urging farmers to use soil-conserving tools for fall work. (DON PEASLEY PHOTOGRAPHY) The harvest and fall tillage season will require special attention by farmers to assure adequate fuel sup­ plies and to economize on expenses, \ Charles J. Budreck, Jr. said recently. Budreck, chairman of the McHenry County Soil and Water Conservation district, offered several tips to conserve fuel and to lessen oil preparation costs for the • 1980 season. "The harvest season is starting late so check your power units to have them in tip top shape. Tune them up, clean up the air cleaners and be sure all tires are properly inflated," suggested Budreck, McHenry farmer. "Be sure the units are properly weighted and adjusted. These steps will reduce your fuel costs." He said many farmers should increase the number of acres they test, "Put a box, sample bag and an auger in the cab of the truck or tractor and test at least a quarter of your farm each year," he urged. "Picking up soil samples while hauling in grain or doing fall tillage can save fuel, time and big money. Proper levels of basic nutrients result in maximum bushels per pound of fertilizer ap­ plied." Budreck offered suggestions as farmers prepare the soil for 1980 crops. Think twice before putting a tillage tool in your newly-harvested bean field. If fall fertilizer is applied for 1980 corn, use conserving Every Day Lew Price ALL CARTON CIGARETTES One Low Price Popi/lar Brands 69 Plus 18 : Sales tax $4 87 BEN FRANKLIN 1250 N.Green St..

But Bill Kmetz was very satisfied with Mike's, fishing ? ability, which resulted in various good sized fish. And one evening when the family was fishing in' their favorite spot near Racine, Jbhnny brought in two fish on one hook! He was so excited that everyone aroUnd had to •• come and witness. No one was able to identify the larger fish, so later Bill checked through some books from the lbirary, and found that it was a type of salmon, but not the usual type found in Lake Michigan. The whole family went salmon snagging on Oct. 27, but didn't get any. The snagging season starts in october, when the salmon fulfill life cycles after spawning. Though disap­ pointed over the lack of fish, they enjoyed picnicking and the clear fall weahter. Betty had been canning the salmon caught in previous years, but this year, it was decided to try smoking the fish. After watching their neigh­ bors, the Denbers, process fish and meat, Bill decided to invest in an electric smoker. Betty has even used frozen salmon, which take about eight hours of smoking, and are tastier than most commercial kinds. Mike and John have both saved their money and bought their own rods, reels and fishing equipment. They happily anticipate the family outings, and maybe next year, father will be able to beat the competition his sons have been giving him. What great memories the Kmetzes are storing up, and what a good foundation is being made for Michael and John. TENDING A TENDON George Kawell is home with a cast on his right leg. He had been helping out at his brother Wayne's new home down the street, and as he was leaving, stepped off the porch, forgetting there was no step.

She attended classes, orientatioh for prospective students, social functions, including a hayride and (eat your heart out) a Brubaker concert. She also sang with the concert choir and the madrigal chorus. Julie visited her brother, John, sister-in-law Lynn and their baby Brooke while in Dayton. John is a student at the college, so he could give his sister a closer idea of life in a Christian school. Next year, Julie will be making the decision as to where whe will continue her studies. Mother Gloria earned her driving "wings" by taking and picking up Julie at O'Hare airport. This was her first solo drive to the airport, and she was a bit proud of being able to successfully survive that operation. And Julie thoroughly enjoyed the excitement of traveling alone on a plane. CONDOLENCES David Wilcox of Lakemoor died Oct. 27 after a month long stay in the hospital. He had at one time worked for the Village of Lakemoor. Sympathy is extended to his family and friends. DAYS OF RECOGNITION Bygone birthdays include Karen Sexton's on Halloween and William May's the first day of November. Belated wishes also go to Richard Gosell on Nov. 3, and seven year old Ronnie Bonesz and Susie Coughlin on the sixth. Nov. 7 is birthday time for Herb Polinski, and also for recuperating Shawn Hager. His sister Autumn, celebrates the eighth, as does LeRoy Epperson. Toni Victor, who lives in the old "mansion" in Lilymoor, has birthday wishes coming her way on Nov. 9. Wayne and Laura Meyer SECTION 2 • celebrated their wedding anniversary on Nov. 3. Happiness, hope and health are among the wishes for all persons enjoying special days. AT THE THEATER Wheaton college's Nystrom Arena theater was the place, and the name of the play was "The Diary of Anne Frank". Maribeth Karas, in her senior year at Wheaton, played the part of Anne's sister Margot. The ttue story of a Jewish family's fight for survival in World War II was poignantly portrayed by the excellent cast in the small audience- related theater. After theWednesday night performance, we enjoyed dessert and coffee at Maribeth's apartment in the student housing area. It was a sharing time, after wat­ ching the endeavor and success of a loved family member. The feeling of hope and of the basic goodness of man which Anne Frank gave to the world through her words and thoughts, we too will remember, because of this good performance. RECUPERATING Charles Nettles is home after surgery, responding favorably to his dear wife Marguerite's ministerings. Daisy, as she is known to many of us, has had the support and help of her mother and father during Charles' illness. With such loving care, he just has to get well. Ruth Carlin is again able to wear her glasses, after a bit of surgery on her nose. Ruth is an example of how being a Christian gives strength and joy, even in a pain-filled life. Ruth Pierce is back in school, catching up on her class work after two weeks in the hospital. It's really "Praise the Lord" time when we can give thanks for good health.

For the past several winters, many parts of the country have experienced energy shortages. The oil and coal needed to make electricity couldn't be delivered. Rivers were frozen. Stockpiled coal was frozen solid. The machinery to move coal was frozen. As fuel ran low electricity had to be rationed Plants and schools were closed. People were laid off. Shivering became the national pastime. But not in northern Illinois. ••U HwWi it wasn't luck that got • Ryttw us through those winters; it was nuclear power. Over 40% of the electricity we make comes from nuclear fuel. Because no matter how much it snows or how cold it gets, nuclear fuel is available-weatherproof. Enough uranium to provide all the electricity Commonweallh Edison electricity is made mostly Irom abundant coal and uranium That helps to conserve the scarce fuels oil and natural gas we need for an Illinois winter can be stored in a one-car garage. In summer. Nuclear power gives us the reliability we need to respond to summer peak • demands without brownouts. In the last decade, when growth of air conditioning helped increase demand for electricity more than 50%, Edison's nuclear stations had an unbroken record of summer availability. And nuclear power is today's great energy bargain. It costs about a penny a kilowatt hour less than coal and two to three cents less than oil. • If we'd replaced our uranium with low sulphur • western coal in 1977, it would have cost an extra $280,000,000 in fuel expense. Oil of gas would have driven the cost up to over one-half billion dollars. Instead, the nuclear fuel we used, the equivalent of 47,000,000 barrels of oil, saved over 10% on your electric bill. With our strong nuclear capability, we're ready for the weather. Let it snow. Let it sizzle. ( Ccmmcnwealth Ediscn Vtaking fcr ycu.
