Harold Bacon of Crystal Lake, a former McHenry resident, acted as spokesman, presenting the problems of the zoning board and suggesting several ways in which the supervisors might be of help. One of the important suggestions was provision for zoning for business and industrial purposes of plats presented to the board before they are accepted. Another was the classification of subdivision plats presented to the board, also before they are accepted. It is the opinion of the zoning board that these measures will prevent the , necessity of property owners appearing before the board at a later date and asking for re-zoning or variation of classification. . The board of supervisors agreed that assistance should be given the zoning board and suggested that Chairman Math Schmitt of McHenry "appoint a committee to study the matter with the zoning group. .

The game, of course, was the highlight of the two-day affair, and while victory was not to be for the Warriors, the 6-6 tie score was satisfying indeed, since Harvard rankB in the top bracket In the SWANI conference this year. The first observance of homecoming was Thursday night on Highway 31, where a huge bonfire blazed high in the sky, attracting not only almost the entire student body bu( an imposing array of interested people attracted by the fire and enthusiastic spirit of the cheering crowd. It was among the largest aad most successful gatherings of its Idttd and was followed by an unbelief ably long and winding snake dance through the city streets!! Float Winner#. Friday afternoon's pafad# drew a large crowd to the streets of the city to watch the elaborately decorated floats ride by. The Sophomore class, with its "Cook your goose" theme, was awarded first among the classes and the Future Homemakers of America received first in the organizations for the girl's version of "We'll swing into victory." If the acquisition of a new title had* anything to do with a streak of hard luck which followed, Harold Nye, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Nye, would have willingly relinquished the king's crown which was his Friday night. About an hour before it was announced that he and Miss Marcella Szarek, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jainss Szarek of Johnsburg, had been acclaimed by vote of the student body as the year's Uu aad queen, respectively, Harold suffered a broken leg during the game. In fact, when Harold returned Jrom the Woodstock hospital with his leg in a cast some time after the game had ended, he was informed for the first time that the crown was his. The injury made neoeesary a slight change of plans when, during the dance, the queen alone made known to the guests in attendance her selection when she stepped from a large, imitation football- One of the highlights of the intermission period of the game was the appearance of the band. To the strains of snappy marching music, and led by Beverly Schwerman, drum majorette, the musicians formed an H for Harvard and later an Mc for McHenry, to the applause of the huge crowd. The impressive climax was the formation of a tepee, before which an Indian performed a war dance in honor of the Warriors. The many friends of Frederick James Sheehan, 64, this week mourn his death, which occured at ®lr:30 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 19, at his home in Mineral Springs.

ATTEND COUNTY MEETING Edward Justen and Tom Diedrich represented the McHenry fire department in attending a county meeting held in Wodstock's Legion hall on Monday evening of this week. Jack Ryan, well known cartoonist and creator of the Streamer Kelley strip in the Chicago Tribune, was guest speaker, drawing several sketches for his interested audience. The loan rate of the 1949 corn crop has been, set at $1.39 per bushel for McHenry county, Bert Bridges of the Production and Marketing Administration, county committee, has announced. The county rate is 3 cents lower per bushel than the support level 4n effect for the 1948 crop. On a national basis, the average level rate this year is $1.40 per bushel compared to $1.44 in effect for the 1948 crop. The lower rate this year reflects a drop in parity sincq rates under both programs were based on 90 per cent of the parity price for corn. The county committeeman emphasized the advisability of building plenty of storage space. There is an indicated carry-over from the 1948 crop of over 800,- 000,000 bushel, he Baid, and when this is added to the current crop production, it will provide the biggest supply of corn ever known. Every farmer should give consideration to construction of whatever additional crib room he may need to accomodate his 1949 production. None of the storage now being built by the government is to be used for housing this year's production, but is reserved for storing 1948 corn taken over by the government. Mr. Bridges pointed out that farmers with 1948 corn under loan or purchase agreement may take advantage of at resealing program under which they can earn a storage payment of ten cents per bushel. The best place to keep this corn is right on the farm, he declared. A comparison of the current market price of corn to the announced loan rate, and speculation as to how much lower the market would be without the loan, shows th£ importance of our corn support program, said the committeeman. Such a comparison also emphasizes the need for producers to cooperate in maintaining a good workable program by providing as much of his own stor* age space as possible. HAROLD A.
