Page Eight THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Wednesday, November 21, 19S2 * Open Home Economics Room mmm Hi Miss Jo Saum of Batavia, new faculty member at McHenry Junior high school, is shown inspecting one of the appliances in the new home economics room of the school, which opens for classes this week. The course will be taught to approximately 280 girls in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. The department has four sewing machines, two ironing boards and three ^kitchen units, each including stove, sink and cabinet. Taxpayers Learn Where Their Extra Dollars Go Each Year One of the biggest subjects for conversation -- if not downright argument -- is taxes. Taxpayers in all walks of life spend a good share of their money to support local, state and federal governments, and sometimes it is interesting to review just how that money is used. Federal taxes are collected in part before the wage earner ever has the money in his pocket -- at its source, by withholding from pay checks. Other federal taxes are hidden in costs of necessities of life, and still others are collected and quite visible. This money goes for administration of domestic and foreign programs, including subsidies, price supports, defense, etc. State taxes come mostly from the sales tax, various licenses and privilege taxes which go to support state government, providing police protection, highways, helping to support schools, public aid, etc. Except for such items as state highways and parks, the most visible assets bought with the tax dollar are those at the local government level, largely supporting county, township, city, school districts and special districts. Aggregate tax rates, which are the total of tax rates extended for county, township, city, schools and special districts, range from a low of 78.9 cents per $100 of equalized assessed valuation in the city of Monticello (Piatt county ^eatl to a high of $4.84 in Benton (Franklin county seat) in 1960. The average rate for county seats was $3,428 per $100. County services required an average rate of $.343 per $100 or 10 per cent of the total tax; townships required an average of $.293 per $100 or 8 per cent of the total; cities had an average rate of $.672 per $100 or 20 per cent; schools had a rate of $1.98 or 58 per cent; and special districts had an average of $.14, or 4 per cent. Turkey Continues To Symbolize Thanksgiving Feast Each Year Turkey and corn continue as a traditional part of Thanksgiving. In 1621 the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony gathered to offer thanks for a full corn harvest, their insurance against starvation in the winter ahead. The turkey symbolized that feast. Ever since that first Thanksgiving, corn and turkey, both native to America, have been partners in providing food for the country. In the decades that followed the Plymouth Thanksgiving the turkey grew in importance as a food. So popular was the bird, as a matter of fact, that Benjamin Franklin waged a crusade to have the turkey, rather than the eagle, named the official emblem of the nation -- and he nearly succeeded. Today the turkey industry grosses $356,483,000 a year in cash receipts. The 1961 all-time high of 108 million birds was a 156 percent increase over turkey production in 1945. California, with 18 million birds raised this year, is the champion turkey state followed by Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Texas. Midwestern farm states, significantly the country's most intensive corn growing region, account for 62 percent of turkey production. The Pilgrims were grateful for their turkey and corn, and today we have a thousand reasons to carry on. the Thanksgiving custom. Investment In Boy Scouts Pays Dividends In Community One of the great strengths of the Boy Scouts of America over the years has been that, this national organization and its local Scout councils have never become satisfied with their accomplishments. They have always been anxious to press forward for greater service. But with the myriads of accomplishments happening day after day all over America, the volunteers who lead this youth movement continue to recognize certain fundamentals which will emphasize character building citizenship training, and physical fitness. These fundamentals are the Scout Oath and Law. the boy in uniform, the "Good Turn" principle, experiences in leadership, and opportunities for growth in an expanding world. Without these significant values that characterize Scouting among the family of youth-serving agencies, the Boy Scouts of America would have become only another recreational activity. The victories achieved in the lives of boys through influences reaching them in Cub Scout packs. Boy Scout troops, and Explorer units make up the story of vigorous moving forward of the Boy Scouts of America. Now, the Blackhawk Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America is asking citizens of our area to support Scouting financially. We believe there is no better investment that can be made in our youth than through Scouting. COMMUNITY CENTER PLANS ABE UNDER WAY (Continued from Page 1) versinl meeting place for Boy and Girl Scouts and 4-H, to mention a few.

To realize their dream of a center for the two communities, the support of residents of the area is needed. Further information may be obtained from Kenneth Rhoades, Mrs. Marilyn Bacon or Rev.
