WHITEfl'S WORSlte""!™^ STOM CAUSED MEAT DAMAGE 1,000 Telephones Out ' Of Order In County As Icy Lines FeH vvif • The many expressions of sym- -» pathy by local (oiks for vacationists te California took an abrupt about face last week as that pity became self-centered. Beginning Thursday afternoon . the weatherman -gave * McHenry county a topic for conversation when he sent rain in . abundant quantities, which later ' turned to sleet as the wind chose a northernmost corner from which to Mow. The dreamy mind of the artist •' could see great beauty in the heavy, ^ tee-laden branches of the trees as they sparkled under great light by nlgfct andby day in the sun. The more praCtlcal-minded. however, oould see only trouble ahead as high winds ladied ice-weighted telephone and electrical lines. More than 1,000 telephones were put out of order in MCHenry county as lines snapped, resulting in numerates power failures. According to George Wilburn of ; Woodstock, manager in this area for the Illinois Bell Telephone Co., the damage to telephone lines was the worst experienced In several years. McHenry reported 120 telephones out of order on Friday morning, ranking third in the county. Woodstock reported 320, Harvard, 260. Crystal Lake, 115, Marengo. 75. and Union, 69. - Between forty and fifty telephones poles were also reported 1 • down In McHenry county by Friday Morning, twenty of them being in the vicinity south of Marengo, one (K the spots hardest hit by the atom. Trouble was also reported by the Western United Gas and Electric Oo., and the Public Utility Co., of Northern Illinois. Wire^, tree tranches and Held grass still sparkled brightly In the brilliant ran of last weekend, but most of' the danage of two days previous had been repaired by that time. Meanwhile, the comparatively Q&d weather prevalent during the . Storm's begining gave way to the 1 fftBigft cold spell of the winter. Friday night saw thermometers drop considerably, bendath the zero mark, where they remained quite consistently through most of the weekend. I Reports of serious accidents on highways would not have been surprising, but fortunately none were reported in this area. Either motorists took seriously the numerous warnings Issued concerning the hazardous condition of roads or else the bitter cold made the if Ida more attractive than the family auto. As McHenry recovers from the delayed sting, of extreme winter weather there are many thankful expressions that spring Is 'just I around the corner, even though that * oorner Is a few bteps away. Ctota^fortin With , , . Ufcirenity (Bee Clufc Kg tO stin* Those closely associated with the McHenry county Farm Bureau realize the gresJt growth which it has undergon«> In recent year*. However, it was not until the thirty-sixth annual meeting held last Saturday in Woodstock, when a resume of its many and varied activities ww made, that oue could be conscious ot tha*reau|* ! great progress which h£\ been made. ' ^ In discussing the past year s work, William Tammeus, farm adviser, asserted "1948 has been a great year and I am perfectly satisfied with our accomplishments. Our group of workers keeps growing to take care of the farmer who considers as necessities the vices offered, services that a result of extension teaching past years. Dairy herd testin came through with three full time testers, and one tester coming from Lake county to do a few herds. Soil testing took almost the entire time of two men. Our conservation district is tanning full tilt, with an assistant added during the year. The need for farm labor service fell off, making it unecessary to have a man spend even part time. Three persons did the office work in excellent manner." Of the 4-H club work he added. "This was a banner yelr. Seventeen clubs were scattered over tfie county with a memberoHp of 2?0 which is an increase of/ 11 1 per cent over 1947. Over 80 per cent of this number finished their projects and we had five state outstanding members and seven state project honor members." Mr. Tammeus also discussed the 4-H fair, which he said took on the appearance last year ot a "real county fair." Of Interest was the report of the soil conservation district board of directors as presented by the president, Russell Beard. "The district directors," he s^id, "plah to establish an observation plot in the county in which all the newer species of grasses and legumes Will be grown tn different replications. There is also a possibility of having agricultural economic studies made in McHenry county similar to the studies made in northwestern Illinois." "The district, according to Mr. Beard, co-operatipn with the Mate conservation eMtahNvJIinted an estimated 150,00we*»lg¥eens on farms for wildlife restoration, reforestation and erosion control. mm shake OF TAX BUDGET IS $17,226,001 Amount I* 8even Times Greater Than 1948 Properly Total Prospects of more money being paid by McHenry county taxpayers are vert certain should congress pass the 41 9 Milton foliar budget requested by the president. Illinois residents will pay 3.S billion dollars of the total, and going even farther, McHenry county residents' share will be $17,226,000. This amount is seven times as much as the $2,360,000 payable in McHenry county in 1948 to cover the costs of schools, city and county government. The above revelation was made last Friday by the Illinois State Chamber of . Commerce In a comparison of federal and Illinois taxes. The total for 1949 federal spending will be 6.7 time* greater than all spending by the state of Illinois during the past year. .It is also 7.2 times greater than the total property taxes receivable by cities, schools, townships and all other units of local government In 1111- nola during 1948. Minimum Figure According to the explanation of the state Chamber of Commerce, "The estimate of 3.3 billion dollars as Illinois' share of the cost of federal government for the fiscal year starting July 1,1949, is a minimum figure that is likely to be exceeded. The 41.9 billion dollar budget figure falls considerably Short ot representing the entire spending program that is advocated by the president. More billions would be involved if new spending proposals were adopted. Additional amounts are probably in prospect in the form of deficiency and sup^ plemental appropriations that will be added from time to time throughout the year," says the report. In reference to the budget- ot last year, the statfe chamber bulletin recalled that budget proposals are merely a starting point tor building up a level of federal spending. The budget proposed In January, 1948, was 37.7 billion dollars, but by the most recent revision, laat year's federal government cost Champaign, 111., comes that Charles Martin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Martin of Went MoHenry, is appearing in pedal concerts with the Illinl this month.

Bau and his chief deputy, S h e r i f f Lyle H u t c h i n s o n , l a s t Friday,. The bus. driven by Ella Carroll 'of Huntley, was travelling south on the highway and was stopping to discharge passengers when a truck driven by Fred Roewer of Crystal Lake la alleged to have collided with rear pt the* bus. shaking up the eight pnplls and the driver and damaging both vehicles. Roewer told authorities he was unable to avoid the crash as he skidded on the ice. This was i the third accident of its kind In the week. Patrick Lilly, 6 years old, Algoa-1 quin, was killed instantly last week; Wednesday night at about 9:59' p. m. as he alighted from the school bus which was delivering him to his home about three miles soqth. of Algonquin. The little fellow ran in back of the stopped school bus and was struck by a car being driven by Harry M. Wells of Elgin. This is the first death in this area of a child being struck alighting from a school bus, but the boards of education In rural consolidated schools have become increasingly alarmed at the number of accidents motorists have been having witjh the school buses. Justice of the Peace Charles F. Hayes of Woodstock has continued until Feb. 4 the' reckless driving charge against George Walkington of Greenwood, milk truck driver. Complaint is John Hinderlider of Woodstock, who charges that Walklngton's truck struck the school bus as he was slowing up to discharge passengers near the Greenwood school the previous Wednesday morning. Mr. Walkington contends that he had sounded his horn that he was going to pass the bus and that the bus was over the center line of the road. He asserted that the bus was In motion. While no accidents have been reported in this immediate community Involving school buses, local drivers have made several complaints of late that motorists have violated the ruling that no bus majr. be passed while discharging pupils. DONALD "CURLY" KARLS One of the community's most recent entrants into army life was Donald "Curly" Karls,' son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Karls of Johnsburg. He entered service last 0ct. 1 and took his basic training at Camp Breckinridge. Ky., after which he was transferred to Fort Benning, Ga.

Last summer the total number recorded varied between thirty-five and seventy each month. federal government costs would be equivalent to 381 dollars for every man, woman and child of the state, or $1,424 for a family of four persons. For individual counties, taxes required to support a 41.9 billion dollar federal budget range from 2.2 to 10.9 times as much as the total amount of property taxes in each county. The average tor all counties Is 7J times as much. •TTBREST KTOS HIOH IK jjrnoiPATioir or LOCAL DOLUS DAIS Interest continues to run higher and higher as McHenry merchants make bigger and better plans tor Dollar Days, Feb. 18 and 19.

Sometimes, most of us will admit, we have thought that true of ourselves during our more egotistical moments; H Mrs. Annabel Afcher ever had such thoughts snter her mind she had every right, for Mrs. Aicher had to take a vacation trip to California before her talent as a photographer was widely recognised. In a recent inssue of the Inyo Register, leading newspaper of Bishop, Calif., in the "Camera Corner," appears a beautiful scene which was snapped by Mrs. Aicher in the mountain region. The editor of this speclafefeature, Curtis Phillips, writes In detail concerning the unusually fine picture obtained by the local resident snd we print in part from his article: "Almost everyone who goes out wMh. a rumors around .Bishop has las' iffe to photograph the beautiful mage of peaks. Many snapintend to show the High tarn out to be very dtsap- "This one pictured is very satiactory to Its maker and pleasing to aft who view it. I asked Mrs. Annabel Aicher how she happened to take this particular picture. VW- some time, she said, she had Wanting to tahe a picture of Mwntains from along in this aroa. One morning out in the yard shs saw the cattle coming down the road. 8he ran like fury to the house for her camera because the was just perfect, with the tree, cattle and that little house. "Mrs. Aicher feels that perhaps she was more attracted than most of us by the romatic appeal of the string of cattle because she had recently come from Illinois and the scene was so new to her."

NEW TYPES SERVICE IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS DISCUSSED BT BOARDS School board members and superintendents representing the various high school boards In McHenry county met last week In Woodstock to discuss new projects designed to aid students. Roland McCannon, county superintendent of schools, had recently sent out quest|pnnaires seeking information on seventeen types of service in high school districts. To determine the board members' views of the need of special services and assistance in the school system of the county, the meeting was planned. Tho majority of those- In attendance recognised the need for many of the servioei, and .decided that providing them through the Vfftce of the superintendent was move practical than undevtaktag the plans by districts. There was not 'one dissenting .vote, but ratboT general ea thusiasm, for one of the suggestions for a special teacher for the deaf and educaMe mentally hand! eapped. The county dim library el so met with very nearly 199 per coat favor as did th«,need for a visual education director. Mr. Mc Cannon has loog stresued the need tor the latter services as being extremely important. He stated that the cost can be minimised by handling it through the one office. The question of obtaining speech correctionlsts was also presented and met with favor! At present there is one such teacher tn the Crystal Lake area, but this is four ahort of the number needed to take care of the estimated 300 pupils who need this kind of assistance, says Mr. McCannon. The problem of tuition was also discussed. This has caused considerable trouble of late, much of the difficulty centering arOund school district boundary line cases. Plans for a combined business and fund drive meeting have been made by the McHenry county Red {Cross chapter at Cordel's Shady 'Rest on Wednesday evening. Feb. 16, at 7 o'clock. Father Eugene Baumhofer of McHenry. county fund drive chairman, and Fred T. Ferris of Woodstock, county Red Cross chairman, will at that time discuss plans to complete the necessary quota in the shortest possible time. The drive officially opens March 1 and it is anticipated that McHenry county will he one!0' the organisation during of the first to report 100 per cent Scout Week which quota. The demands upon the local Red Cross chapter make the urgency of the appeal this year for funds more important than ever before. The McHenry county chapter, unlike many adjoining chapters, has but few recourses that it may draw from when disasters or emergencies strike at the heart of its people. At the preeent time, McHenry county has sixteen members actively engaged in the work of the Gray Lady Corps at Downey Veterans Administration hospital each week..» Mrs. Jessemae Miller and Mrs. Grace Hahn, both of Woodstock are co-chairmen of the corps. Mrs. Celdtaa Kane, now vacationing in California, is one of the local women interested in the work and she spends each Friday in the T. B. ward. Blanche Kris, Edna Cross, Violet Pet, Anne Sauer, Roa Saum and Bernice Winarskl, all of Island Lake; are on duty In the occupational wards on Tuesdays. The demand for voldnteer workers continues in the Gray Lady Corps and a new group of workers will be trained In the early spring in this corps. That there is a growing Interest In the Junior Red Cross program in McHenry county schools is evidenced by the fact that schools are Inquiring about the Junior Red Cross correspondence program. The list M countries available for international correspondence exchange was released as follows: Argentina.
