As RflcHenry approaches the start of a new year, the Plaindealer Joins other businesses in a bit of reminiscing on the past and planning for'the future : ,h . a type of inventory which sometimes turns -up some interesting facts! A receftt reader and sales survey reveals that the Plaindealer's "family of subscribers" has reached an all-time high. The present circulation is 5,203, which means that there are approximately 19,210 readers of the home , town paper. The- survey further indicates that the paper is read in 93 per cent of the McHenry trade area. Also of interest is the fact that the paper is kept in the average home a period of seven days, with references, from timp to time, to news items and ads which are useful for the regular, daily shopping nedds."* ' . The Plaindealer has always made an effort to assure that only reputable firms afe represented in its advertising columns. For this reason readers may feel a satisfaction that comes from shopping through these ads. --The advertising columns offer the business man a ready market for his merchandise. At the same tirnb, there&der is able to realize a substantial savings ana in addition, find items, especially in the/ classified section which many tiri|§s he j& unable to find for sale elsewhere. A home town newspaper supplies its readers with a variety of information concerning their community, including general news coverage, sports and society, as well as highlights of county events. V In addition to McHenry proper, news items from all surrounding areas Appear in each issue of the Plaindealer. Correspondents are employed from thirteen of these communities, including EastwoocFManor, Johnsburg, -^Lakeland. Park, Lakemoor, Lilymoor, McCullom Lake, McHenry Shores, Pistakee Highlands, Ringwood, Spring Grove, Sunnyside Estates, Village of Sunnyside and Wonder Lake. National surveys made from time to time point up the fact that a newspaper with a paid subscription list is regarded by its readers as of more worth to them, and has a higher readership, than a non-paid or free publication. As we start a new year, the Plaindealer lists on the top of its resolution a continued, constant effort to keep pace with .the community's growth, at the same time providing readers and - advertisers with the quality which they have a right to expect in their home town paper.

McHenry County Co-Op / McHENRY, ILL. •> Three Tips For Freezing Meat You've got nutrients aplenty In a cut of fresh meat, so take care when you freeze it. Mrs. Dorothy Ebner, member of the foocs research staff at the University of Illinois, points out that research studies have shown that incorrect freezing procedures can destroy nutrients in meats. T To curb or prevent these losses, the University of Illinois foods research staff recommends three practices: Handle meat quickly. The longer you delay, the more nutrients you will lose and the greater the chances that microorganisms will cause undesirable changes in the^ meat. Use moisture-vapor-p r.o o f packaging materials. Research shows that proper packaging reduces loss of nutrients in some meats. Freeze meat quickly. The lower the terrfperature, the quicker the meat will freeze. The 0 to F. temperature of home freezers is satisfactory for freezing small amounts of meat.
