This . is one of those holiday Weeks when the deadline is moved; up and we have to move With it;~ • Our present day group of associates is so nice. They merely remind -us that copy has to be in -4 day early. • ; It isn't like the old days when jyou-know-who and some of his eager tormentors used to toss everything but the linotype ma- Chine at us. "Whadaya think We're runnin' -- 'the Saturday Evenings Post?" "Where's that ctopy?" ^"Whatsamatter, no contributing to help you out this week?'* ' The first Christmas card of the season comes from the Murphys, "Evie, Doc and The Kids," from way over in Germany. It's nice to be remembered. Where, oh vraere did the time go? It's Thanksgiving time a gain. Time flies and the pace is too fast in this modern way of life. The early settlers, who inaugurated Thanksgiving Day, surely lived a more rugged life, but knew none of the whirl of present day living. For instance, it must have been" easier to go out with the old musket>and bag a turkey than it is to try to win one at these feather parties. Such fun. But, each bl#t made our skijv a bit thicker and we actually learned to love the whole crew. Our only fears came when . they treated us too kindly. This^jnay be a different era, but dMpf&)es still pop up to annoy ii|||i&pt's get pitchin'. Last week must have been like a lost weekend for us. We forgot everything (as far as mention is concerned). There was a turkey^ dinner at Hettermann's that really was a dandy. We joined the Johnsburg Tigers and their ladies fair for a real pleasant evening. This gang didn't go in much for speech-making, but went all out fajrilurkey eatin' and sociabilityj#*^ HigMBjhting the evening was the announcement that Joe Frett will manage the Tiger ball team next year. Everybody knows that Joe is a good baseball man and all feel that he is just the fellow to teacfc*the young players coming up. McHenry Knights of Columbus will spoSiptr their second annual Parish Basketball tournament on Dec. 26 and Jan. 2. Holding the tournament, at this time gives many s,college students a chance to participate. rThe^Varrior basketball boys play jwo games away before sftbwfiij* their'^lalis To ^trie Some crowd. The game this (Wednesday) .night at Barrington is a confeifeigse contest. Next Tuesday night ;<Nov. SO) the team travels to Harvard for a non-conference test. Remember the dance Saturday night, sponsored by the Johnsburg Rescue Squad. This group has won widespread commendation foivtheir work. Some people can dance because groups like this put^them back on their feet. The Kiwanis banquet for the MCHS football teaim will be with us before we realize it -- next Monday, evening. This is always a high spot on the sports calendar. Hope ^>u have your ticket. The McHenry Rifle club will be open- every Tuesday evening for those who want to practice or leara > the art of handling a gun with skill and care. Young people afe urged to learn the proper way. Dues for members will start after Jan. 1, payable to Marie Nickels, secretary. "Watch your numbers," the man says. Yeah -- we watch 'em and they are still there ten bucks or more later. Let's thank the Lord for the good things we enjoy arid pray that He will strengthen our shoulders to carry the rest of the load. DAILY PINUPS: Some folks memorize the Golden Rule but make no commitments. The fellow with plenty of elbow grease is seldom a softsoaper. Tacked less people are permitted to go only as far as their heads will let them. It takes dough to raise a baker's dozen. He who teaches us the truths we knew not before is the one to take after. There is no boundry seasons cannot cross. No flower that has bloomed can e'er be called a loss. Anonymous Northern Mini Bowmen News EacB^^ar we see some real goofy ~£lni handling. There is real need for instruction Switz£rcraft has done it again! Their igw "Lightning" outboard is sure to cause quite a stir in the boating world. The Switzer family f6els justly proud of this new accomplishment and "Mom," "Dad" or the boys will be glad to show you this new beauty. One of the most interesting shoots of the year was held recently at the Bowmen's field course. This novelty and turkey shoot drew one of the largest crowds of any shoot of this kind. The unusual 25 target and novelty round was designed by the secretary of the club, Irene Adams, and her assistant, Joan Hamm. Each target was different and many clever sketches were drawn by another member, Doris Dermott. One hundred and twelve registered for this event. Winners were: Men-- 1. 'Jay Crick, McHenry, Northern Illini Bowmen; 2. Russ Phipps, Cortland, Kishwaukee; 3. Broadford Gross, Chicago, Golden Arrow. Women-- - 1. Clarice Krause tChicago, Bo Arrow; 2. Gladys Yepsen, Zion, Waukegan Bowmen; 3. Jean Chase, Zion, Waukegan Bowmen. Juniors-- 1. Fred Nagel, Jr., Milwaukee, West Allis; 2. Rodger Scott, L i n d e w o o d , K i s h w a u k e e ; 3 Wayne Chase, Zion, Waukegan Bowmen. Unique crying towels were given as consolation awards. These were awarded to William Kosmar, Spring Grove; Doris Olsen, Lake Villa; and Mary Ann Chamberlain, Park Ridge. Other attractions of the day were the running deer target, Clay pigeon and turkey shoot, all with bow and arrow. The Robin Hoods going home with turkeys and ducks were: Chicago -- John Thas, Broadford Gross and Elmer Thorp; McHenry -- Duke Adams, Vince Adams, Dick Bates, Jay Crick; Lake Villa -- Ed Olsen, Jack Perry; Fred Brugger, Milwaukee; Hank Callignon, Arlington Heights; Russ Phipps, Cortland; Bob Hiland:, DeKalb.

WOODSTOCK GIRL WINS "A" RATING AT TALK FEST Bill Hull, 18-year-old Carbondale farm, youth, last week won first place in the 1954 Illinois Rural Youth Talk Meet. Hull was one of eighteen contestants speaking at the Sherman hotel, where the Illinois Agricultural association is holding its fortieth annual meeting this week. He will compete in the national Talk Meet at the annual meeting of the American Farm Bureau Federation, Dec. 13 to 16, in New York. Hull, whose father is a truck farmer, is a freshman in Southern Illinois university, and is a member of the school's debating team. First alternate to the national meet will be Pat Miller of Rock Island. Second alternate will be James Runyan, of Delevan- Other contestants were given "A" or ">B" ratings by the panel of judges, which included the contestants themselves. Each speaker in the meet talkedi three minutes on one of ten sub-topics of the main theme, "Democracy Doesn't Just Happen." The contestants had three minutes in which to review the sub-topics they drew. Hull's topic was "How Can the Farmer Participate in His Farm Organization For the Realiza^ tion of a Stronger Democracy?" Entrants given "A" ratings; were: Merlin Karlock, Momencejj Mary Mossman, Ridgeway; Mary Polczinski, Nashville; and V,era| Dahlgren, Woodstock, ii' • Shop at Home and SAVE! LAW ON T^E FARM Farm operators come under social security starting Jan. 1, 1955. For those at or near age 65, it is like Aladdin's magic lamp -- a token payment of $189 will produce benefits worth from $15,000 to $25,000. TAis is made possible by allowing older persons first subject to social security in 1955 to become fully insured after working a year and a half. For example, take the case of Bill Snead. Bill is 64 years old. He could be a farm operator, an accountant, architect or engineer, all newly covered by the act. Bill's income is about $5,500 per year. If he works until July 1956, he will pay in $189 (three per cent of $4,200 for 1955 plus three per cent of $2,100 for 1956). Bill's wife, Jane, will be 65 in 1956, when' they expect to retire. Bill and Jane will get benefits of $162.80 a month. If Bill dies, Jane gets $81.40 for life. If Janes dies first, Bill gets $108.50 for life. If both live as long as the mortality tables say they should, they will get total payments of $21,489.60. Isn't this a truly wonderful lamp? However, not everyone is at or near age 65. Many are 21 years and under. The young farmer starting his payments at age 21 and continuing until age 65 will pay about $9,000 into social security, If he has a wife age 65 at his retirement, his benefits could be as high as those of Bill Snead or highers. Or his return could be less. If this farmer never marries and if he dies at age 64, the $9,000 will be lost -- except for a small death payment of $255 unless he has dependent parents who would receive a benefit. It is like term insurance that expires just before you die unless you leave a spouse, minor children or dependent parents. But the reasonableness of the benefit is not the major issue. Rather, it is whether farmers need social security protection. Is the dependency of retired farm people a problem to be met by compulsory governmental protection ? Do farmers retire at age 65 -- or, perhaps a better question, should they retire at 65? To, these ana other questions, theie are some good and some poor answers. Mechanization has made farmers look mo^ like industrial workers in \ terms of working hours, accident rate, commercial products purchased and-.Jev^.Qfaiying.y With., higher, capital requirements, risks taken by farm people have increased.

Probably the most delicate question to answer is the one of retirement at age 65. Many farmers rebel at the idea of being forced into unemployment by a system that allegedly tends to destroy, or hamper free enterprise and self-security. All that can be said in reply is that there are retired and disabled farmers - on the public assistance rolls, and in some cases agriculture might benefit if younger members of the family take over the farm when dad reaches the age of 65. These are not ail of the arguments, but these may be enough to show that social security is not all magic nor all mistake. SALUTE SALVATION ARMY NOVEMBER 28 TO DECEMBER 5 The week of l^ov. 28 through Dec. 5 has been set. aside to salute one of America's most highly respected re^gious and charitable organization^, -- The Salvation Army. Seventy-five years ago a small band of seven women officers and one man landed in New York City to plant the flag of the Salvation Army and to "claim America for' God." Though hardships, ridicule and abuse were everyday occurrences to them, they proceeded with courage and determination in the task • which they had set for themselves. Within a few years, they had established centers of operation across the nation. In 1886, President Grover Cleveland gave his personal and official eridorsement of the work to a delegation of Salvation Army officers and general public approval was achieved. Since then, every succeeding President has expressed similar sentiments about the organization. Today, in the length and breadth of the United States, the Salvation Army daily carries on its mission "with Heart to God and Hand to Man." In its greatest cathedral, the open air, it disseminates Christian truth, often providing a chufch for those who have no church. Its social work program covers a multitude of services -- visitation among the poor, needy and sick; establishment of centers to help the destitute and unemployed; maternity homes and hospitals for the unmanied mother; low-cost hotels for those in smaller income brackets; employ- 'ment 'bureiaus1;'-> day> ^care centers for children; clubs for servicemen.

This township contains very little prairie land although the terrain is comparatively level. It contained a great deal of timber land but now consists mostly of good farm land. .Dorr township was named by citizens who wished to honor Gov. Dorr of Rhode Island, who fought against the English laws imposed on the state by Charles n. Uriah Cattle was the first settler' in Dorr township. He came from Virginia in 1834. He made his claim and returned to the east. In the spiing he came back with William Hartman, Charles and John , McClure and John Walkup. They settled in the eastern part of the township, which was later known as the Virginia settlement. Religious activities centered for a time around a Methodist group which held services in the house of Uriah Cattle. After 1850 a Presbyte; ian church was established at Ridgefield. 1885 there were almost 900 children of school age. School property was valued at $55,200 and the teachers' annual pay was $5,677. As in other townships, Dorr township opened a creamery in 1878, two miles north of Woodstock. R. B. Cooney was the original owner but he sold out to Wm. Boice at Marengo.

The amount of this grain was three sacks of corn, belonging to Charles McClure. In 1835 Mr. Hartman was forced to 'buy corn for his own consumption. Buy purchasing t£n bushels he was able to buy it at one dollar per bushel. His own yield was better than. expected so he held his high priced corn until spring, when he hauled it to ,the mill, only to find it had spoiled. Ridgefield The first post office was opened in 1837 near Ridgefield, then known as Lezien, at the residence of Christopher Walkup, who became the first postmaster. The village of Ridgefield was laid out in 1855 by Wm. Hartman, who owned the land. He was so anxious to induce people to settle there that his low prices' made a financial failure of the venture as far as he was concerned. tAYAMf ct/mmmti A/m/ e * Sporting Goods * Marine Supplies * Hunters Hdqtrs. * Hobby Shop Mall * Power Tools Phone 1000 212 S.
