It was N observed in the schools with appropriate programs at 11 o'clock, after which the students were dismissed for the; remainder of the day. The banks and stores were closed fehile flags were out at business houses and residences in honor of the day. Several of the local Boy Scouts with the scoutmaster, Mr. Schoenholtz, enjoyed an overnight hike to the woods at Sherman hill. Although it was pretty cold and some of the provisions were found to be frozen in the morning, the boys all had a great time. Forty Years Ago (Taken from the files of November 23, 1939) Last year many people of this community became «f typing minded and took ourse in typewriting at high school. In response to several requests, that night class will be resumed thjg year, both a beginning anlESh advanced course will be given9 The. beginner's class will be for those who know nothing of the typewriter or who use what is called the "hunt and peck system". The advanced class will be for those who can handle the typewriter fairly well and who wish to build up speed along with other projects. Circuit Clerk Will T. Conn has announced that he will be a Republican cnadidate for re-nomination at the April primaries next spring. Mr.Conn has served as Circuit clerk of McHenry County since 1928 with a splendid record for ef­ ficiency. Mr. Conn's an­ nouncement is the first to be given out for a county office at the next primary. (Tatm^froni the fUes° of November 18, 1054) Within the next few months McHenry will be saying goodbye to ' the ve Plocher) Switzer-Craft Boat com­ pany, a local business for several years. Russell Switzer, owner, has pur­ chased five/ acres of land on U S. 14 between Rt. 31 and the Pur^Oil plant at Crystal lans are now under way for the consturction of ' manufacturing headquar- ' ters there, although he in­ tends to maintain a sales outlet in McHenry. With the, redisricting portion of the Blue Ballot * amendment having, been s u p p o r t e d s o o v e r ­ whelmingly at the polls Nov. 2, it is expected that the number of downstate' single county legislative districts, for election of House members, may grow from three to ten. The state will be divided into 59 house districts, to elect three members each to the lower House and 58 Senate districts, to elect one senator each to the upper House.

Ten Years Ago (Taken from the files of November 19, 1969) Sunday, Nov. 23, has been set aside for the public to view the beautiful new city hall at 1111N. Green Street. The structure was com­ pleted at a cost of about $12,000. Attractive gold carpeting marks entrance to the building, and up a short flight* of steps the visitor arrives in the business of­ fice. Housed in this section are the city clerk's office and office desk, where general business is handled. This section also contains the finance department, which cares for expenditures in the various departments of the citv; an office for the superintendent of public works and a conference room which will be used by the Police commission, Pension board, branch court judge and for interviews. A needed inprovement for many years was the culvert installation program just completed in four different areas, two on Ringwood road i and two on Wilmot road, by .the McHenry township road 4»striet. Culverts were ob­ tained through the McHenry County Highway fund, aid to township bridges, and only installation is paid by the township road district. U.S. "Agricultural Exports Benefit - The net gain to United States agricultural' trade resulting from the Tokyo Round of the Multilateral Trade Negotiations could be $400 million. If the countries ° which agreed to reduce tariffs on U.S. exports hold to their agreement, U.S. exports increase $104 million, addition, if non-tariff restrictions are eliminated, an additional $405 million of exports would be generated. This could result in a total increase of $510 million on U.S. exports. However, as a concession few* these reductions in tariffs and non-tariff restrictions, the U.S. reduced tariffs and quotas on cheese, livestock products, wool, fruits and vegetables. These reduc­ tions could amount to $106 million. The net result would be a $400 million favorable agricultural trade balance. Tariff reductions will begin Jan. 1, 1980. But they will be applied gradually over an eight year period to protect production and price structures. Extension, on Local T.V. - Are you a morning T.V. viewer?

Stable Managers Workshop • An afternoon and evening workshop designed by and for horse stable managers is being planned. It will be on Friday, Dec. 14 in the Barrington area. Contact the University of Illinois Cooperative Ex­ tension service in Wood­ stock, or phone 338-3737 or 4747 Test Soil in Fall - Test soil every four years, and for best results collect soil samples in the late summer and fall. Potassium test results are most reliable during these times. Sam­ pling frozen soil or within two weeks after the soil is frozen should be avoided. The pH level is one thing the soil test determines. A desirable pH level for corn and soybeans is 6.2. If the pH can be reduced by 40 per­ cent. At 5.5 they still can fall 15 percent below normal. Contact me or your fer­ tilizer supplier. Get your soil tested. Testing even that newly rented property can pay. . Custom Rate Guide - This is not necessarily what farmers are charging. It is a guide for adjusting custom rates and machine rental rates. Since prices are changing so fast, any survey of what custom rates are changes to fast to be of value. But we can take the direct cost of operating the different farm equipment and give you a guide. The following are the figures on a few of the current field operations. These prices cover the machine, fuel and labor costs. They exclude management overhead and risk. Mold board plowing, $9.50 per acre; stalk shredding, $4.00 per acre; combining soybeans, $20.00 per acre; combining corn, $25.00 per acre; hauling grain, $.06 per bushel. The above are only a few of the figures given on FM- 40. Contact us at P.O. Box 431, Woodstock (789 McHenry Ave.) 338-3737 or 4747 for a copy or more in­ formation. China Trip Opening - Several spaces were Recompute Income The Veterans ad­ ministration is reminding approximately 670,000 elderly veterans that it's time to recompute their income for this year to make certain it still meets VA pension requirements. The agency said a formal reminder of its pension in­ come standards will be enclosed with the December pension checks, VA officials say they want to bring the subject to the attention of veterans age 72 and older receiving pensions under laws that were in effect prior to Dep. 31, 1978. Last year for the first time this group received the annual income question­ naires that are sent to more than a million other pension recipients. These elderly veterans who have not elected to transfer available when I wrote this for the People-To-People International Visit to Mainland China, Hong Kong, and the Philippines. The trip is scheduled for Jan. 27 - Feb. 17, 1980. For details contact Del Wilden. U of I specialist and host at 217-333-0752 or call me. to the new pension program will not receive the questionnaire this year. They are not exempt from the income limits set by the new law. They must still report any changes in the number or status of their dependents and any income increase which causes it to exceed the limit. These pension recipients do not need to report general rate increases in social security benefits as VA automatically records them. Pensions are paid to wartime veterans with non- s e r v i c e c o n n e c t e d ' disabilities who meet income limitations, and to their eligible widows and children. PRIME LAND LOST Prime agricultural land is being lost to non-agricultural users at an alarming rate, and a national study is under way to determine the causes of this problem and consider what can be done to turn the situation around. As a part of the study, 17 workshops are planned this fall on the subject. The study is jointly sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Council on En­ vironmental Quality.
