PAGE 16 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7. 1*77 Celebs In 4-H Alumni Ranks CHICAGO-Cincinnati Reds baseball star Johnny Bench, singer John Denver and Mrs. Rosalynn Carter, wife of the President, all have something in common. They were 4-H members as young people and worked at making the 4-H motto, "To Make the Best Better," words to live and build by. • As former 4-H'ers, the three share a common bond with such other famous Americans as U.S. Sen. Howard Baker, TV sports- caster Don Meredith and for­ mer astronaut Alan Sheoard. The national 4-H alumni recognition program, spon­ sored by Olin Corporation through National 4-H Coun­ cil, honors former 4-H mem­ bers whose accomplishments exemplify effective com­ munity leadership, public service, service to 4-H and success in their chosen ca­ reers. * The program is designed to provide young people with living examples of depend­ able, purposeful citizenship. Each year, eight national winners in the 4-H alumni recognition program are^ SUBSCRIBE To The McHenry Plaindealer selected by the Cooperative Extension Service. 197/ na­ tional winners will receive ex­ pense-paid trips to the 56th National 4-H Congress in Chi­ cago Nov. 27-Dec. 1, where they will be honored with gold key awards. This year, in observance of the 25th anniversary of the program, Olin is inviting all past national alumni winners to be tjieir guests at the con­ gress recognition event. Four outstanding former 4-H'ers in each state and four in each county can also earn recognition in the program.

Johnny Bench was a 4-H member in his hometown of Binger, Okla. He says that discipline and self-confidence were his biggest rewards from 4-H work. "Whenever a parent comes to me and asks if I'll sign an autograph because a child is too shy to ask, I just say, 'No,'" Bench says. "If he wants it, he can come and ask because I like to see kids stand on their feet. Sooner or later he has to learn to stand on his own feet. This is where 4-H helps kids."

I TAX FACTS What does property tax reform really mean? fahat actions can taxpayers expect as a result of the tax reform rhetoric? Property tax reform measures and proposals which may come about as a result of the various study groups or by legislative initiative can be categorized in two areas. The two areas are: (1) administrative and procedural change^ (2) changes affecting revenue. The Illinois tax cycle is complicated. - For most individuals knowledgeable and timely participation is difficult at best. In previous sessions, the General assembly has recognized the demand from a more infohned populace for taxation information and has responded by requiring the publication of notices concerning the meetings and actions of public officials and public bodies. This year the General assembly passed four bills of significance to the administration and procedures Come in and browse, you'll get ideas for furnishing your bath and discover many charming gifts. 1 3012 W.

With an FFS Home Improvement Loan On a warm fall day, it's hard to think about conserving energy. The memories of severe, bitter cold winters of past seasons are easily forgotten. But, if Americans are going to retain the lifestyle we now have, we all must save energy. . .every day! • In 1976, our total energy consumption was 38.5 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. Two thirds of all of that energy was totally wasted! • Energy conservation is everyone's responsibility. If all homes had 6' of insulation If every home was caulked and weather stripped properly If all homes had properly fitted storm windows and doors If insulated siding was used to control energy loss through exterior walls If light colored roofs were atop every home to reflect the rays of the hot summer sun BARRELS OF OIL EQUIVALENT SAVED PER DAY...

FIRST FEDERAL SAVINGS & LOAN ASSOCIATION OF CRYSTAL LAKE governing property taxation: 1) county clerk may estimate the outstanding assessed valuations from overlapping districts lying in another county for purposes of computing the first installment tax billing. 2) board of review may consolidate complaints upon the request of the taxpayer. 3) requires notice of annual instructional assembly for assessors be published and specifies any person may attend. 4) in addition to published notice of assessments, written notice must be mailed to taxpayer with increased assessments. Proposals in this category may continue to follow the same vein of increased public i n f o r m a t i o n , a d v a n c e explanation, and easier availability of public meetings to air grievances and make appeals. < If the individuals studying the question of administrative and procedural reform are to press beyond the trend towards information and access, they will no doubt have to devote much attention to the tax cycle. The ability of each individual and office associated with the tax cycle to carry out their responsibilities and complete the work in a timely manner is essential to the interde- pendency of all involved. One bill which had a legislative life span of only twenty-eight days but deserves more interest and a new life was H.B. 2170. This bill would have required the Board of Review to complete its work no later than May 10 on taxes BY ANN D. ALLEN 9 Yogurt's an old, old food that's supposed to keep you young, or, at the very least, living past a hundred, if we're to believe some of the commercials. But yogurt's new to Ameri­ cans. It wasn't even made and sold here until the 1940's. Since then, of course, it's been making rapid strides. The youngest thing about yogurt right now is that they're freezing it. You can go to a yogurt store and get the yogurt in soft-serve style, swirled in a cup or cone, or frozen in pints or quarts. Hard frozen yogurt is also available in the supermarket. You can even buy it molded on a stick, with or without a covering of chocolate. One of the most refresh­ ing things you can buy or make at home is the yogurt shake. For this combine one cup (8 oz.) of the frozen yogurt, slightly softened with one-third cup of chilled fruit juice. Pop this into a blender or beat with a rotary beater until smooth. Serve in a chilled glass. Hie combinations for a assessed in the preceding year. May 10 is arbitrary but the idea of a specified spring conclusion for the board of review work has merit. However, this date like the other deadlines in the tax cycle must be stringently adhered to or it will be useless. yogurt shake are endless: use vanilla with limeade or lemon­ ade, red raspberry yogurt with pineapple juice, boysen- berry yogurt with apple, or cranapple, or grape juice. It's fun to dream up your own combinations! And have a nutritious drink instead of just a sweet, cold one. There are many new yogurt recipes just out in a 16-page booklet, "The Wonderful World of Yogurt."
