Elm St. McHenry 385-7500 '75 Corn County Loan Purchase Rates Told The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced that there will be no changes in county loan and purchase schedules for 1975 crop corn. The announced loan and pur­ chase schedules reflect the national average loan rate of $1.10 per bushel announced Nov. 27, 1974. The 1975 crop county loan rates are for corn grading No. 2 except for moisture. The rates range from $0.96 per bushel in the northwest fringes of the major corn-producifig area to $1.34 per bushel in the feed- deficit areas of the northeast. In the corn program, generally speaking, transportation costs and other factors account for much of the difference in loan rates from area to area. Copies of 1975-crop corn county and state loan rates, as applicable, will be available from State Agricultural Stabilization and conservation committees or from the Grain division, Agricultural Stabilization and conservation Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. 20250. . v y . - s . - N \ 3ea - Roomers / [ \ A t C r e s c e n t B a y L a n d i n g • 3 3 0 9 N C h o p * l H . l l » o o d , i l l . n o i i 6 0 1 1 0 815/385-5508 DISCOVER THE BEST OF TWO WORLDS Get your SKA PI A NF.

BANCROFT HALL Annapolis Important For Old Colonial Structures Annapolis is an important city because it has more colonial structures than any other city--so far as I know. It is important for another vital reason. It is the home of the United States Naval academy. This great institution is now 130 years old. It was founded in 1845 during the presidency of James K. Polk, though its, prime mover was George Bancroft, Polk's secretary of the Navy. The suggestions for such an institution were first made by John Quincy Adams and were laughed down in Congress on the grounds that Agency Drugs "YOUR PRESCRIPTION HEADQUARTERS" 1327 N. RIVERSIDE DR.

Lakeland V^,/ * Shores'*/ Manor McHe Shores I'M + • 2% MILES IN ALL DIRECTION Admiral Horatio Nelson never attended such a school. The Academy is twice the size it was fifty years ago. In the Class of 1925 about 450 graduated; in the class of 1975, 750. The Academy owns nearly twice as much ground now as then, much of it reclaimed by filling in parts of the Severn river. Buildings now stand where once was the basin for small sail boats. The greatest dormitory in the world is here--Bancroft hall. In it the brigade of midshipmen is housed - 4,000 of them with their ward room (dining hall) tailor shop, barber shop, galleys (kitchens), offices, the midshipman's store, sick bay, Memorial and Smoke halls and any number of other facilities. It is simply huge and has to be seen to be believed. The dor­ mitory is named for the academy's founder, George Bancroft. There is a great new library- Nimitz library--300,000 volumes against 50,000 fifty years ago. It is built where once there was water and an old power plant. Beautiful buildings house classes, Michelson and Chauvenet halls. The classrooms are equipped with every possible aid to education. Three closed circuit television sets to a classroom help every student to follow instruction and explanation or ex­ periments in detail. There are screens for slides or movies. Classes tend to be small-about twenty to a class I should judge. The heads of most departments are civilians where fifty years back only English was headed by a civilian, Dr. C. Alphonso Smith of blessed memory-an able teacher and leader. The old football field has been replaced by a modern and enlarged oval where athletic events and even graduation are held. It takes a big place for a modern graduation. The original chapel still occupies its central site, predominating the yard (campus). It was originally a Greek cross in shape. The size of the school has made a larger chapel a necessity. They therefore lengthened one arm of the cross, making an enor­ mous nave. Above the high altar is a great window of Christ walking on the water. It is marked, Gift of the Class of '69-but that is 1869-friends. The crypt of the chapel has the burial catafalque of John Paul Jones of Revolutionary naval fame and a good sized "small" St. Andrew's chapel. Then there are sacristies and offices. It gave me a tremendous thrill to preach in this chapel to my old classmates. Among them was a winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor, an Antarctic explorer, officers who had commanded cruisers, flotillas of destroyers and submarines during World War II. Twelve of these officers commanded naval vessels at the Bikini atomic bomb test site in 1946. It was, and is, a goodly crew. Trees have grown over the years. The yard is shaded in a way I do not recall. Vistas you once had of buildings are denied you now by the growth. New vistas are opened for you where fountains play. It is a fuller yard than it used to be. One thing I enjoyed was having dinner at the Officer's club with Glen Swetman, his wife and his sister and her husband. In the old days as a midshipman you looked in at the officers dining by can­ dlelight. This time we were the diners. There are recompenses for years. The service academies of the United States serve us well. Besides Annapolis there is West Point, the Coast Guard Academy at New London; Conn., the Merchant Marn ^ academy at King's Point, N.Y., and the great new Air Force academy at Colorado Springs, Colo. These schools do not provide all the officers we need but they are trainers of the permanent corps. Graduation brings a BS degree and a commission with an obligation to serve five years and be called up in times of emergency. All of them have modernized their courses, added new subjects, liberalized their outlook and discipline. We can take pride in the work they do for our nation. One of 1974's grads at Annapolis is today studying medicine as a com­ missioned officer. When his courses are finished he will be transferred to the Naval Medical corps. Who can guess what this may mean to the young man, to the Navy and to the United States. Extend Deadline For Fiscal Year Licenses Michael J. Howlett, Secretary of State, has ex­ tended the deadline for displaying 1974-75 fiscal year license plates on second division vehicles to midnight, Aug. 15. An exception to the extension is that the deadline for displaying mileage tax truck and trailer plates remains at midnight, June 30. The extended deadline ap­ plies to trucks, trailers, farm trucks and trailers, per­ manently mounted equipment, auxiliary axles, buses and all other vehicles with a June 30 deadline. "This extension is for the convenience of second division vehicle owners to allow suf­ ficient time to meet the deadline," said Howlett. FORMAL WEAR RENTAL for ALL OCCASIONS ill £ Ststwl 1214 N.
