Pack 861 v ,r A very interesting and eventful committee meeting of Pack ; 3«i (new ipack) was.held a week : ago. A fifth den will be headed by Den Mother Mrs. Fowles, who " reside* one and one-half miles south of town (out Green street past the Edgebrook school). Any persons who have children of cubbing age (8-11) contact Mrs. -H. Fowles immediately as tficre is a limited number of cubs iliat can be taken into a den. At the present time there ^re 1$::? thirty-six cubs p registered with pack 361 and with the new deri that is forming it will be well on its way to fifty cubs in Pack 361. That's a p; ' ' good record for not being a year old. It is also a sigh that there "are many people in this community who are interested in the future of their children and other children, but many mo; e interested people are needed urgently at the present time to help cubbing to continue in this community. We are still in need of den mothers to form more dens in different • sections of town and subdivisions so that all boys of cubbing ag<v in McHenry township can participate in these fine programs. , If you are interested in the future of the younger generation and can spare one hour a week, please contact Paul Jessup, neighborhood commissioner. The next pack meeting is Friday, March 19, and will be held at the American Legion Home. The public is invited at any time to attend our pack meetings. The theme of the month Is Uie T^and of Oz. It will be presented by Den 2 (Mrs. Jessup's den). Den 4 (Mrs. Ricker) will handle the presentation of colors and Den 7 (Mrs. Saynor) will handle refreshments for the evening1. Den 7 A few weeks ago we stated that if Deil 7 continued to grow it would have to be split. Well, it has happened. At the den meeting Monday evening, farewells and best wishes were given to six of the cubs irv Den 7\ who live in Lilymoor Mrs. Rode, one of the cub's parents, consented to be a den mother in order to make it possible for more boys of cubbing age in the Lakejmoor and Lilymoor area to participate in cubbing. The new den will be Den 6 and there are a few more openings left in both Den 7 and 6 but not as many as both have six boys now. have six boys now. If cubbing continues togrow in this area it will be necessary for uj to form a pack of our own. This would also eliminate a {great transportation problem of our cubs, as their pack meetings • are held in McHenry. One more den would have us well on the way to a new pack. Mealtime Should Not Be A Battle Does yoHr^cJuld consider maal time a i$*asuie or ji»t one of the necessary evils of life? Mealtime in some homes, instead of being enjoyable experience for both mother and child, is just a Constant battle between them. If this type of thing continues for a long time, a child may develop a rather permanent and hea: ty dislike for eating, according to Dr. J. Richard Suchman, child development specialist, University of Illinois. Suchman says this dislike for eating may stay with a child the rest of his life, and his affection for his mother may be somewhat reduced in the bargain. It is only natural for a mother to be. concerned about her child's health and development. However, she must be careful that she does not become too concerned Or show her annoyance in any way. A child sometimes will have little or no appetite even though he Is well. Sometimes he will refuse food just for the sake of saying "No," even though he may want it very much. Saying "No" makeahim feel independent. Then if he sees that his mother is getting upset and angry, it gives him an even bigger sense of power. Eventually he gets tired of this and mealtime is no longer a conquest for him. It just gets to be an unenjoyable experience three times a day. The best thing for a mother to do if she is faced with mealtime problems is to be patient and pleasant. Try to see thing's the way your child does and understand his feelings. If you want him to accept mealtime as he accepts the other routines in his day, be just as matter-offact about it as you can. When you feel it is extremely important that he eat a certain thing, be firm but gentle and, above all, be pleasant. Avoid the pitched battles, and before long you and your child will be saying, "Eating problem, what's that?" i Forty-Four Caiile In Herd Rated "Excellent' Hickory Creek Farms of West McHenry has recently had their herd of registered Holstein- Friesian dairy cattle classified for type (body conformation) under the official type classification program conducted by the Holstein-Friesian Association of Amei ica.

' May 30 is not observed „as Memorial Day in all states.*?: . MARCH 22 GIVEN AS DEADLINE FOR DISPLAYING LICENSE Secretary of State Charles F. Carpentier reminded Illinois motor vehicle owners that only a few days remain for them to obtain 1954 motor vehicle licenses before being subject to J arrest for failure to display current license plates. * Beginning next Monday, March 22, motorists not displaying proper license plates on their vehicles may be arrested by state police or secretary of state's automobile investigators, Secretary Carpentier said. A period of a little more than two and one-half months beyond the expiration date of 1953 registrations has been granted to give motorists ample opportunity to comply with the law, Mr. Carpentier pointed out. In fairness to those who have obtained their 1954 licenses, it is time to impose penalties on the 15 to 20 per cent w^o have not met their obligations to the state, Secretary Carpentier said. ^ ~ 7.7^7 Thomas Paine was the first to, write the words, "United States of America."

NOTES CHANGES IN DIETARY NEEDS ^ Nutrition specialists at the' University of Illinois call attention to recent changes in the : ecommended dietary allowances that are set up by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council. These allowances list the amount of calories, vitamins and minerals that are needed in the diet of the average American for good nutritional health. Since there is a tendency for the average adult to gain weight after the age of 25, the revision shows a decrease in the recommended allowances for calories as a person grows olde.\ This decrease amounts to a five pek-cent reduction in calories for every 10 years after the age Of 2ai As an example, let us consider as a "standard" man one who weighs 143 pounds, is 5 feet 7 inches tall, has eight hours of physical activity and four hours of sedentary activity and lives in a mean environmental temp-, erature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit. At age 25 he would require 3,- 200 calories. But he would need only 3,000 calories at age 35, 2,900 at 46, and 2,600 at 65. The recommendation for the "standard" woman who weighs 121 pounds and is 5 feet 2 inches tall is 2,300 calories at age 25, 2,100 at age 45, and 1,800 at age 65. ' < Adjustments are made for women during pregnancy and lactation. The extra allowance tor pregnancy is limited to the last three months, when 400 calories are added. Nursingmothers may need 1000 additional calories in their daily diets. Vogel TRY NUMBER ONE in pow*rl Anything less is yesterday's car! CHRYSLER 235hp COLBY MOTOR SALES 12 S.
