This conference will cost the village $55 per attending member. Our newly elected President Grimes, and newly elected Trustees Wilson and Zelvis will be attending the conference along with two year veteran Mr. Mark Weiler. Mr. Janicki read the treasurer's report for the year to date. Most notable items were the income to the village from property taxes. $10,303.02. Therefore, only approximately $35 to $40 of your possible $700 tax bill actually goes to the running of your village. Mr. Grimes stated that the village was sound and solvent, but that for the next three months expenditures will be watched until the real estate tax money comes in An amendment to the ad­ ministrative code was read. It involved the changing of the board meeting to the first and third Thursday of each month. Mr. Grimes suggested that the rules for resolution esentation, reading, and ssing be reviewed. Two requests for zoning variances were presented to the board by the zoning board of appeal. The ZBA had previously met and voted to deny the variants. President Grimes called for a ten minute recess of the business meeting for the purpose of reading the testimony of the variance hearing. Concerning the variance requested by Mrs. Peters which involved boat storage, the board voted to deny the variance and concur with the ZBA as follows: Zelvis- no (did not concur with ZBA); Koleno, Wilson. Weincouff- Yes; Grant-abstain and Weiler (whose company stores boats) abstain. President Grimes cast the yes vote to break the tie. The second variance was requested by Mr. and Mrs. Einweck and it involved the parking of their camper on their property. All board members agreed with the ZBA in denying the variance except Grant who abstained. One woman in the audience shook her finger at Mr. Szott and told him that he had been given a year to hold a public hearing on the matter of camper and boat storage and he didn't do it; she then walked out of the meeting. After this very difficult situation was concluded. President Grimes suggested to Mr. Szott (Chairperson of the ZBA) that the zoning ordinance should be reviewed and researched. Mr. Szott com­ mented that his committee did not interpret the ordinances; the zoning officer did that; Mr. Szott stated that his committee was only called upon to hear the variances to the ordinances. President Grimes remarked on the fine job that the ZBA had done and he commented on the need for the board to give a vote of confidence to the ZBA by agreeing with their decision. The next board meeting will be May 18, 7 p.m. Share with another and loneliness is ended. WORKWISE , 1. I got a job through a private employment agency for which I paid a fee.

We are ready to add a second shift. We'll need to add about thirty unskilled workers to our staff. Some years back we used newspaper ads, but the response was overwhelming, and our office space is very limited. Would you suggest we try an ad with only a post office box for reply? We feel that "blind" ads for unskilled positions are un­ productive. We suggest you arrange to recruit at the nearest Job Service office. A call to the manager will reserve a private area where you can interview the kind and number of applicants desired. Questions may be submitted to Workwise. 910 S. Michigan avenue. Room 1823, Chicago, Illinois 60605 Close Call Congressman John Allen once was pleading his case before some rather hostile voters. A heavy stone was thrown in his direction but he luckily hap­ pened to stoop over and the fly­ ing object narrowly missed his head. "You see," he told his friends, "if I had been an upright politi­ cian, I would have been killed."

The report was in line with trade expectations at 22 million bushels higher than last year's levels. From the January Stocks in All Positions Report, the USDA reported stocks were 18 million bushels higher than calculated stocks. The 18 million bushel discrepancy implied that the crop was under-estimated by 20-30 million bushels. In the past, the April stocks report discrepency has been a more reliable indicato^of the over-underestimation of the crop than the January reportdtgcrepancy. For the first time since the USDA has been releasing the supply demand projections, an acknowledgement was made that crop may be underestimated. In other developments Brazil reopened export registration for soybean meal and oil. The export quota for meal was set at 5.1 million tonnes and the quota for oil at 567 thousand tonnes. This compares with last year's actual meal exports of 5.3 million tonnes and 517 thousand tonnes of oil exports. With old crop disappearance remaining at high levels relative to usage, downside potential in the near term should be limited. From a new crop standpoint, prospects for increased supplies in 1979-80 could limit upside potential unless crop problems develop. The corn market made new contract highs after the USDA released its Stocks in All Positions report Monday, April 23. The report indicated corn stocks at 4421 million bushels compared to 6199 in January and 3877 a year ago. Stocks were below trade expectations and confirm that livestock feeding remains strong in spite of declining cattle on feed numbers. In addition to the stocks report, the market may have been responding to wet weather and planting delays. As of April 22 corn planting was 4 percent completed compared to 5 percent a year ago and a long-term average of 8 percent. Weather delays continue to slow planting progress. Strong feed usage and exports could be supporting forces in corn in the coming months. Heavy movement of corn into commercial channels is likely to occur after a significant portion of the 1979 corn crop been planted. With carry-over expected to be 21 percent of usage this year compared to 18 percent a year ago we believe the corn market could be vulnerable to sharp reactions when corn begins to move after the new crop is planted. Fibers: Cotton Mill Consumption Above Year Earlier Levels In March. Cotton futures appear to be establishing a base this week after making new contract lows a week ago. Weather conditions remain unfavorable for planting in the Delta states and also deteriorated this week in the Southeast.. On Tuesday the market received more friendly news when the Commerce department released a report indicating daily mill use in March was above year ago levels. This represents the first time since November 1977 that monthly consumption exceeded year ago levels. Certificated cotton stocks are at record levels this year at more than 200,000 bales compared to 120,000 a year ago. Strong demand for the certificated stock as evidenced by aggressive trade buying of the May contract renewed speculation that most of the certificated stock is committed for export and will soon be decertified. We would establish long positions in December cotton on a technical signal that the market has bases. Metals:Gold and silver prices trended higher through midweek. Inflation as measured by the consumer price index rose 1.0 percent rise in March of 1978. The largest increases were in the food, housing and transportation components. Upcoming events which may affect gold and silver include... March Leading Economic Indicators scheduled for release Monday, April 30. ...IMF gold auction scheduled for Wednesday May 2 where 470,000 ounces of gold are expected to be offered. ...the April Producer Price Index to be released Thursday, May 3. We are expecting the index to show an increase of 0.9 percent for finished goods. John S. Norkett McHenry Regional Manager- Commercial Hedging Clayton Brokerage Co. of St. Louis, Inc.
