PAGE 10 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24,198E RINGWOOD NEWS Doris Low Koty Christopher 653-9262 385-8037 lee Tomlinson Relates Visit Lee Tomlinson of the Busy Three 4- 'H club visited Italy with the In­ ternational Foreign Yduth Exchange "asa 4-H Ambassador, not under the Rotary program as previously reported. The Illinois Co-operative Extension Service offers two programs to youth between 17 and 25. One is a summer work program where the 4-H'ers work and live in rural areas of another country and the second program is a six-month study time; Many countries participate in the educational sharing of cultures. Lee was chosen in the fall of 1981, spent time attending orientations at the University of Illinois prior to leaving, and was briefed again at the ' National 4-H headquarters in Chevy !' Chase, Md\ prior to leaving the United States. Fifteen students from 11 states represented the United States in Italy this suftimer. Lee worked on two dairy farms yvhile in Italy. Her first experience | was 70 miles outside of Rome near the village of Terni. This family operated , a small farm of about 15 acres. They milked 15 Holstein cows and had a •large variety of animals. They were very frugal, utilizing every inch of their hilly property. One of the sons of this family is president of his 3P club -which is similar to 4-H in our country; >SP is a type of on-going education in ,-fitaly. Membership is mostly male, ^Ipetween the ages of 14 and 30. The second host family lives in northern Italy. The land is flatter and more productive in this area which is near France and Switzerland. These Vpeople have between 75-100 head of {, Chianina cattle and own a prize Brahama bull. Italy experienced the hottest summer in nearly 30 years so it was necessary for their irrigation system to run 24 hours a day. Lee's ; host sister, Rozella, is a 23-year-old agronomy student who plans on managing their family farm. The trip was a delightful, un­ forgettable treasure. Lee corresponds with her host families, friends and acquaintances and hopes they will be able to visit McHenry county.

The folks at Tabby's house are going to: 1. Keep the electrical wire con­ cealed and off the floor so Tabby won't chew on them. 2. Put the poisonous plants of poinsettias and mistletoe out of reach. 3. Place the candy high on a shelf. 4. Replace the cheap ornaments that were broken by the young cats last year with unbreakable ones. , Yes, sir, Tabby is just as curious as ever over all the Christmas splendor, but he'll have a merrier meow with the folk's consideration this Christ­ mas! ' , TOASTERS Both the ancient Romans and Greeks were particular about toasts and who made them, who poured, and what was said. The right to make a toast at public g a t h e r i n g s a n d ceremonies was a great honor, usually reserved for a high official or other important per­ sonage. n If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, But have not love, I am a noisy gong or a Clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers And understand all mysteries and all knowledge, And if I have all faith, so as to move mountains But have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body To be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or Boastful, it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not Insist on its own way; it is not irritable or Resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong but Rejoices ip the right. Love bears all things, Believes all things, hopes all things, Endures all things. _ ... -- Corinthians 13:1-7 During this holiday season and the coming year we ask you to love your Cod, family, neighbors, and especially Yourself!

That is why dry wood produces more useable heat than an equal volume of wet wood of the same species. POETS CORNER FROM NORTH POLE The telephone rang last night, It was from the North Pole, And I was told to write Exactly what I was told. He said requests are few, The children are all confused, And there's not too much to do • Because employment has been abused. He said he laid off 40 elves Because we can't compete, And the toys on the shelves c Are almost too obsolete. We should all get together And as far as he can see, It's going to be much better In the next year '83. He thinks he might retire Because he's tired and fat, And Social Security might expire And there's nothing after that. Mrs. Claus gets disability But that's going to end, He doesn't have the capability To help this country mend. He let his reindeers go, They don't know what it's about, And then it's much too cold, So they're all goirg south.
