The addition of a fourth judge results from the great population increase as shown in the 1960 census in the two counties. In McHenry county, the figure jumped from 50,656 to 83,156, while in Lake county, it rose from 179,097 to 290,- 895. The law passed in 1959 requires that in circuits, other Cook containing a population of 280,000 or more inhabitants according to the last census, four judges be elected. ^ Serving at present, are Judges William M. Carroll of Woodstock, Bernard M. Decker and Sidney H. Block, both of Waukegan. They serve for six years.

PRICES REFLECT DEVELOPMENTS HERE/ ABROAD Developments around the world in recent months may have unleashed new inflationary forces. These developments include the swing toward communism in Cuba, the regression of U.S.-Russian relations, the racial conflicts in Africa, the revolution in Turkey, the canal demonstrations in Panama and the anti-American riots in Japan. This progression of events calls for some revision of our plans for national security. It has produced strong demands for increasing government expenditures for defense. In addition, there are in our o w n c o u n t r y i n c r e a s i n g d e mands for bigger government "sperMSng fafrj welfare and. to stimulate "economic growth." Political disturbances and international conflict are inflationary because they disrupt production and transportation and often increase the demand for,commodities. Some of the major price- rises in the United States have been associated with civil^jQift foreign wars. Prices of several important commodities:' show advances from their lows of earlier months. The price of natural rubber has climbed to 46^ cents a pound, up 36 percent from a year ago. Most of the world's rubber supply is produced in Indonesia and Malaya. Other industrial materials that have shown important price increases include tin, which is produced largely in Malaya, Bolivia and Africa: copper, produced in the restless areas of Africa; burlap, obta'ned from India and Pakistan; and .silk, produced in Japan. Prices of fats and oils have also gone up. Soybean oil has increased' to 83-84 cents a pound, or 17 percent over its low in early March. Cottonseed oil has climbed to 10% cents, or 18 percent above its low last December. Lard has moved up to 9 cents a pound, 29 percent over its January low. On the bearish side of the market is the fact that U.S. industrial production and business activity are not reaching the high levels foreseen last winter by the optimists. Steel production is way down. Automobile stocks are high. The aircraft industry is not getting the new orders that it needs. Housing isn't booming either. The index of industrial population in May was 110 (1957- 100), only 1 point better than a year ago. Corporation profits for the second quarter are falling below the level of last year. This dip does not encourage businessmen to increase their spending for new plants iand equipment. Ons big danger spot is the growing personal and family debt. Farmers, for example, now owe $24 billion, twice as much as they owed ten years ago. Other people now owe. $190 billion, or over three times as much as ten years ago. Thus it appears that the prosperity of the 1950's, like that of the 1920's, was built upon expanding credit. This situation raises some questions: Can our debts get too big? If so, when will they become too big? And what happens then? One thing seems certain: The future is uncertain, but it will be interesting. | L. H. Simerl j Department of Agricultural Economics JUNIOR' FAIR AWARD Premium books for the junior department of the 1960 Illinois State Fair are now being distributed. J. Ralph Peak, general manager of the exposition, said prize money for young farmers and homemakers in the junior division will be nearly $50,000 including the Land of Lincoln awards. The latter is given for livestock of Illinois origin and maintenance. Deadline for entries in the junior department is Aug. 11, the day before the ten-day exposition opens. Information concerning premiums and requests for premium books can be obtained by writing the Illinois State Fair, Junior Department, Springfield. STUD* INDIAN SITE A prehistoric Indian village site is Under archaeological scrutiny to determine how it is related to the famous Dickson Mound, near Lewistown. Residents of the ancient village may have been ancestors of prehistoric Indians hurried in the nearby mound, according to Dr. Warren L. Wittry, curator of anthropology at the Illinois State Museum. VACATION TIPS Many persons spend the first day of a two-week vacation as though it were going to last only twenty-four hours. The Institute for Safer Living advises that your vacation will be safer and more enjoyable if you take it easy the first day or two. Give mind and muscles a chance to adjust to new vacation activities. Older persons especially are warned against too much--and too sudden-- physical exertion. DEMONSTRATE AT EXHIBIT t«s mn mi *«•«***fcuto SAFETY AWARD The Illinois state award from the National Safety Council for excellence last year in the field of Public Traffic Safety Education was accepted last week by Gov. William G. Stratton. The award was presented for the multi-front public information approach to the traffic safety problem in Illinois, which has had a consecutive four-year reduction in traffic fatalities. Illinois was one of four states to receive the award, the others being Colorado, Minnesota and Vir- Mrs. LeRoy Olsen and Mrs. Robert Newkirk of McHenry are shown above, demonstrating their De La Rue currency counting machine to an interested audience at the British exhibition held June 10 to 26 in the Coliseum in New York. Mr. and Mrs. Olsen and Mrs. Newkirk of McHenry's Scan-Am corporation enjoyed* the two-week stay in Nc^ York, and especially the time spent at the exhibition. Scatf- Am is engaged in the sales and promotion of imported items. Unusual Dressing For Summer Salads gmia. FIRST AID Sticks and stones may break your bones while on vacation, but a knowledge of basic firstaid will help you to get your injuries safely to a doctor. The Institute fbr Safer Living says that knowing rescusitation, treatment for burns, how to dress a wound, what to do for poisons, snake or insect bites, is important to your own vacation safety as well as to others who may be vacationing with you. TAX COLLECTIONS May collections from the state's majov tax sources totalled $59,637,270, as reported to Gov. Stratton last week by the Illinois Department of Revenue. This was $9,793,346 more than the $49,843,924 collected for the same period a year ago. Nothing can make a porch or garden luncheon quite so elegant as a fruit salad plate. With the addition of a salad dressing from the freezer, even a picnic plate will take on a party air. A variety of elegant and delicious whipped cream dressings can be kept on hand for quick serving. Fill ice cube trays with dressing and freeze. Remove cubes from freezer trays and wrap in transparent saran. Place wrapped cubes in plastic freezer bag, label and store in the freezer to use as desired. To serve, unwrap and defrost. It takes only a very few minutes. A recipe for a dressing of this type is given here. It is perfectly delicious and you will want to try it. Avocado Dressing 1 cup whipping cream, % cup mashed avocado whipped 2 teaspoons grated orange % cup sifted confectioners' rind sugar 2 tablespoons lemon juice. & Blend ingredients together carefully. Freeze in ice cube tra^t When frozen, wrap each cube in saran and place in freezer \yJ§. When ready to serve, defrost and serve with or on fruit salads. This recipe makes about 2% cups dressing. MAKE FUNDS AVAILABLE Gov. Stratton has released $30,000 to the Illinois Department of Conservation, Division of Parks and Memorials, to provide funds to meet payrolls, materials and other costs necessary to repair trails and trail bridges in various parks. RULE FOR SWIMMING ! Even persons who rarely inj dulge in swimming often have | a go at it while on vacation. [ If you are an occasional swirn- | mer, the Institute for Safer | Living warns against staying in the water too long at a time. Come out before you get tired--save a margin of energy for safety's sake, and more vacation enjoyment as well.
