We often like to be alone, but not all alone--which accounts for our love of dogs and cats. The state Department of Public Works and Buildings, through its Division of Waterways, has been called upon by Gov. Stratton to proceed with plans for recreational development of Fox river from the McHenry dam to Ottawa. The plans emphasize low level dams to create a waterway for small boats between the Chain O'Lakes arid the Illinois Waterway. Thomas B. Casey, chief engineer of the Division of Waterways, said that existing plans include provision for sixteen new low level dams designed to provide a four-foot channel between McHenry and Yorkville. The program also includes rehabilitation of several existing dams, removal of seven obsolete dams arid the building of locks at all the structures. Contrary to the belief of. many, the level of the Fox river is not at the lowest level on record. The present leyel of 17% inches, below normal, due to a lack of rain in recent months, compares with a record low which occurred in June of 1933, when It is said to have reached 48 inches below normal. The governor pointed out that the number * of small boat owners is increasing at an accelerated speed--sometimes doubling in a single year--and that these people must be given space for operation of their craft, just as more highways must be provided for the growing number of autos. New Farm Record Books Now Available In County Not automobiles, but something as necessary to the modern farm family, a supply of the newly revised Illinois farm record book, has been received by the county farm adviser, and it is possible to get one at his office any time. The new record book has space for all records of farm income and expenses, including those needed for accurate social security and income tax returns. The book was prepared by members of the Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Illinois. Geo. B. Whitman, extension specialist in farm management, says that the new record book includes new five-year depreciation schedules as recently suggested by the Internal Revenue Service, among other things.

The carryover of "old corn on Oct. 1 was the largest on record; but because most of it was under price support, the amount available for use and scale was very small. Farmers in the central and eastern parts of the Corn Belt have by far the best crop they have ever produced, but most of those in the western Corn Belt had a near, or complete, crop failure. Stocks total around 4.8 billion bushels, the largest on record; but hog production, which takes more corn than any other use, is being redueed. We have a Ijig government program for price stabilization, but price fluctuations during the past twelve months have been much greater than normal. The price of corn dropped to a dollar a bushel and lower at harvest tirie a year ago. The basic reasons for the low prices were that supplies were greater than prospective use and much corn was not eligible for price support. The supply, which totaled 4,214 million bushels, was the largest on record, and about 1,- 200 million more than there was any prospect of using. Furthermore, prices of hogs, the principal users of corn, were distressingly low, and profits on cattle feeding were slim or nonexistent. Winter, spring and summer brought several price-lifting developments. Farmers placed 420 million bushels of corn under price support,' 60 per cent more than in the previous year. Sales of corn for export reached about 105 million bushels, up from; 92 million the year before. Government sales of corn fQr use in this country were reduced to around 35 million bushels, about onefourth less than one year, before. Congress passed a Soil Bank bill which many people believe will help to reduce farm surpluses, and lift prices. The Department of Agriculture announced a doublebarreled ,pride support program for 1956 corn--$1.50 a bushel for farmers complying with their acreage allotments and $1,25 for other farmers. Finally, prices of beef cattle rose spectacularly during the late summer, and prices of hogs held up much better than many farmers expected. • The range of corn prices seems likely to be much smaller during the marketing year ahead than during the one just ended. With all farmers eligible for price support loans, less corn may be subject: to forced Jale at hfcrvest time than last year. Higher prices for beef cattle and hogs this year also tend to support corn prices. Any substantial advance in corn prices will probably uncover increasing market supplies.- If the price of com rises to around $1.15 a bushel, many farmers eligible for $1.25 price support wil^ sell rather than obtain the price support loan. Then, if prices rise to around $1.35, many other farmers will sell rather than get the lqan at $1.50. Uncle Stun may be virtually forced to sell more corn this coming marketing year than in the one just ended. His total stocks of corn are around one billion bushels, up one-fourth from a year ago.- Of this amount, around 400 million bushels are at leajst three years old..

And when we frame pur plans around the reverent belief in a God of order, justice and love, thpre is bright hope for the world. "Millions of families in homes around the globe pray for freedom and justice just as we do. And they look* to us to use our strength to keep the peace. "Now, as I see it, there are three imperatives for peace; "The first imperative for peace is the elementary necessity of maintaining our own national strength--military, economic and moral. "During the past three and one-half years, our military strength has been greatly increased. Never before in peacetime have we been so strong as today. Our economic power is reaching new peaks every day. But, most important, weare competing today for men's hearts and minds and trust. So what we do and say at home is even more important than what we say abroad! "The second imperative for peace is collective security. "We live in a shrunken world in which oceans are crossed in hours. Today it is madness to suppose that there could be an island of tranquillity and prosperity in a sea of wretchedness and frustration. For self-preservation we must engage in a mutual economic and military cooperation with the frde nations'. "But even this is no longer enough. "The third imperative for peace is this: Without for a moment relaxing our internal and collective defenses, we must actively try to bridge the chasm that separates us from the peoples under Communist rule. The hope is that little by little mistrust based on falsehoods will give way to international understanding based on truth. v "We shall continue to work religiously until peace and understanding gradually come about. Then it will be possible jior older people to feel they can bequeath to their children a better inheritance than was their own. Then young people can hope for a new and shining world. "Under God, we espouse the cause of freedom and justice and peace for all 'peoples."
