Betty Hettermann Wed Last Saturday Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Alfred May, who were wed last Saturday morning at St. Peter's church in Spring Grove. A reception followed later in the church hall for about 200 relatives and friends. The newlyweds will make their future home in Sunnyside Estates. Forthcoming Events Next Sunday evening, there will be a public party held in St. "John's school hall. Plan on attending and help the school building fund progress. It's the light on the youngster that makes this an appealing picture. The camera could be in deep shade and it wouldn't make any difference* It's the Light on the Subject That Counts On Saturday evening, Oct. 29, the Johnsburg Community Club will hold its annual Hallowe'en party in the club hall. The clufo members and the public are in- "vited to attend this gala affair. Come ^/dressed, funny or as your favorite character and you may walk off with one of the prizes. Come on and join the fun. There will be dancing and refreshments. Another dance to keep on your reminder list is the one sponsored by the JohnsbuFg Rescue Squad coming up on Nov. 26, also at the Community dub hall. Tickets are being sold by all the (squad members. Buy a few tickets as soon as possible. wish is extended to Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, who will observe their sixtieth anniversary on Oct. 9. Many happy returns to all. Light is something vitally important to us, that is certain. One of the things in our lives which depends on it is our picture taking. Without light, we can't have a picture. It is the light entering Our cameras when we open the shutter that creates the image on the film. This light is reflected from the subject, into the camera, and on to the film. We're prompted to talk of this because of a story we heard the other day. This story actually happened. The scene took place in the highly photogenic Greenfield Village near Dearborn, Michigan. A place frequented by tourists and snapshooters. , One of the attractive features of this reconstructed village from an America of yesteryears is the covered bridges. Another, the horse-drawn carriages in which visitors may ride through the grounds. Our story concerns a visitor who wanted to take a picture of the carriage as it came into view through tin opening in the bridge. This visitor thought it a picture well worth waiting for, so she had the setting for the picture in her viewfinder and was waiting for the horses to appear to snap the picture. And, just as they did appear, another visitor grabbed her arm, exclaiming, "You can't get a picture here. You're standing in the shade!" Tht well-intentioned bystander took no notice of the fact that the bridge and the road were perfectly lighted by the midafternoon sun. We tell this story, of a snapshot lost, because it is indicative of how little many of us know about the lighting for our pictures. The .amount of light where the camera is, has nothing to do with the picture, ft is the light on the subject that counts. --John Van Guilder GREAT DANGER IS INVOLVED WITH OIL STOVES AND HEATERS Portable oil stoves and space heaters last year, took a terrible toll of lives. „ . , With the coming of cold weather, when stoves and heaters operate full scale, it is very important to understand that most fires caused by oil stoves and space heaters start for one of these reasons: 1. Careless handling. 2. Allowing wicks to become dirty or uneven. 3. Spilling fuel. 4. Tipping or knocking over the heater. 6. Overfilling tanl&s. 6./ Placing heater too close to combustible material. There is also the danger of asphyxiation if the appliance is used in a tightly closed room. Aware of the dangers, some cities have passed ordinances prohibiting the use of these appliances. Where their use is permitted, the National Board of Fire Underwriters urges the following safety measures be taken: 1. Thoroughly inspect and clean the heater or oil stove before putting it into operation each season. 2. Be sure it is set level. 3. Keep it clean and free of dirt at all times. 4. Never place it near curtains, la&etffoth8 *. br ~ dtHer h$ngiihg material, or where- such material may be blown over it. 5. Place it out of the line of traffic. 6. Never fill or carry it while it is lighted. 7. Never use it in a room with all the doors and windows shut. 8. Don't leave a heater unattended after it is first lighted. For at least fifteen minutes, watch the flame and adjust it so that it produces no smoke, because as the heater warms up its flame often increases. 9. Refill it out doors. Keep the fuel supply outside. Wipe upr all spillage. 10. See that the latch holding the top part of a tip-over type heater to the lower part holds them securely together. 11. Use the proper grade of oil. King Candidates • Two of our young men are among the six on the list for homecoming king at McHenry high school on .Oct. 14.

During the war we heard much talk about high prices and many prophecies of lower prices to come after the war. We also had forecasts that several' million persons would not be able to find jobs after their war jobs ended or after they were discharged from military service. But the years following World War II brought many surprises. Prices went up instead of down, and labor shortages were more of a problem than unemployment. August, 1945, was the last month of the war. At that time the index of farm prices was 206 (1910-1914 averages equal 100). After price controls were lifted, average farm pripes went up 50 per cent, reaching a peak in January, 1948, with an index of 310. Farm prices worked lower during 1948 and 1949. and by January, 1950, the index was down .to 235. They then rose again during the first half of 1950. In mid-year the Korean War brought on a wave of spending and speculation*, that boosted the farm price index to 313 in seven months. • During the Korean War farm prices reached their peak in February, 1951. Since that' time the farm price index has declined persistently. In August of this year, it was 233. At this level average farm prices were 25 per cent lower than at the . peak in 1951 and l per cent lower than at the previous post-war low in 1950, but 13 per cent higher than when World War II ended. For farmers the pinch has come from- the cost side. The index of prices paid by fanners stood at 190 when World War n ended (again 1919-1914 •-- 100). Average prices paid went up 53 per cent in the next seven years, reaching a peak early in 1952. Since then, they have declined only slightly. In August of this year, the index of prices paid by farmers was 279. At this level, average prices paid were down only 3 per cent from their peak of three years ago and up 41 per cent from the level attoe' end of World War it ; Comparisons With p^World War n prices give a Quit* dtff ferent picture. August 1039 the last month before World W*r II began in Europe. .Average prices received by farmers in August this year were 159 per cent higher than the pre-waK figure, while prices paid were Up 130 per cent. • - Altogether the ten yeiars *inc# ; World War II have been better, than most experienced farmer# expected. Many changes will, come in the next ten yearai. Some farmers will get ahea<£ while others will slip back. You can be in the group that 'gelt*, ahead.
