Page Fourteen tfHfc McfcEfoRY PLA!fWl)£ALER Thursday, I)ecemb6r 6, l§t>£ Sign New Bond Plan --Perional& «-->' Stale AuditoK»Michael J. Howlett, left, waits his turn as Gov. Otto Reiner signs up for the new payroll deduction plan for state employees for the purchase of U.S. Savings Bonds. Watching the first signing of the plan is Arnold J. Rauen of McHenry, state director of savings bonds for the U. S. Treasury department. The deductions for bonds, as well as for union dues, group insurance premiums and credit union payments were authorized under a new Salary Withholding Act for state employees enacted by the 72nd General Assembly. Although no appropriation was voted to the auditor's office to cover the cost involved in handling the deductions, it will be absorbed by savings in administrative costs of the office, accomplished by a survey and reorganizations in 1961. ROTARY NEWS Rotary, like every thing else, reaps what it sows. The McHenry Rotary club has had a deep interest in foreign student exchange activities, which if rightly understood, is good for both countries involved -- our own and whatever native country the student comes from and represents. Next Thursday, Dec. 6, McHenry Rotary club is awaiting with anticipation a sample of its "harvest" in the growing stage, when it will have as its guest speaker, Francois Rigolot of France. The Rotary Youth Service committee, Edward Joe Gausden, chairman, is in command and the welcome mat for Francois has been arranged. The subject to be presented by this Rotary Foundation student who is attending Northwestern university is entitled "My' Observations Near and Far/' Knral-l'rban Meeting Thirty-two farmers of the McHenry area were guests of the McHenry Rotary club at their meeting Thursday, Nov. 29. The fellowship between the businessmen and farmers was very evident during the meet ing. The fun was at the expense of the Rotarians who, while living in an agricultural atmosphere, were not able to answer stime of the questions about farming as they were cross " examined fjy Roy Kissling. -ably assisted by Dr. Fike. A record of the question and answer period would have proved most interesting. Dr. Warren E. Collins of the American Farm Bureau federation gave a most interesting talk about the problems facing farmers on a national scale^ It was a "bird's eye view" well received by the audience. It was a stimulant for more of this kind of information and education. Chairman Bill Malpede, most ably assisted by Past President Harry Dean, deserves the plaudits of our club for the excellent manner in which they launched this --our first ruralurban meeting. An ideal vacation spot is a place where you can't remember what you came to forget. t6e(jraU'rBoofe The Cowboy Type AM these people do not live in circumscribed territories, many causes of strife arise between them; they quarrel about waste land as we do about inheritances. Thus they find frequent occasions for war, in disputes in relation either to their hunting, their fishing, and pasture for their cattle . . . --CHARLES DB MONTESQUIEU (1689-1755) French political philosopher The Scythians of every age have been celebrated as bold and skillful riders, and constant practice has seated them so firmly on horseback that they were supposed by strangers to perform the ordinary duties of civil life, to eat, to drink, and even to sleep, without dismounting from their steeds. --EDWARD GIBBON (1734-1794) English historian UNDER 21 A column for teen-agers By Dan Halligan DEAR DAN: I feel self-conscious because I have very little spending money and the kids I usually walk home with from school each day sometimes stop at this drug store and have something to drink. I usually say I have to get right home but it isn't that at all. We aren't poor but money always is a problem in our Jiouse and what little money I do earn from baby-sitting must go for school supplies. I don t know if I'm fooling my friends or not so what should I do? -- Broke. DEAR BROKE: Once in a great while you'll have a dime you can spend but even if you don't, that's no reason for you not to tag along with your group. They'll certainly understand when you say you're broke because they're all probably operating on limited budgets. You might even be offered a sip of soda but don't make this a habit of accepting. As long as you're with the gang and they know you're broke, so what? DEAR DAN: I have this terrible crush on my history teacher and it's affecting my work. I've gone from an A student down to a C-plus in just a few weeks and if something isn't done fast, I'll fail. Mom knows about this crush but Dad won't listen to reason. He says if I want to, I can get over it tomorrow but I've tried and it's just not that easy Do you understand my problem? -- Failing Girl. DEAR FAILING GlRL: Of course, I understand. Girls and crushes have been going together since the first school was built and even a father can't be expected to be obeyed in these situations. One of these days your crush will disappear and you'll have a good laugh but right now the important thing is for you to realize you're sliding downhill and no one but yourself can put on the brakes. DEAR DAN: I'd like to learn to ski this Winter but I ve got this terrible fear about breaking a leg. Three girls in our school had broken legs last year from skiing accidents and they had to wear casts for weeks and weeks. Feeling as I do, do you think I should still go ahead and take lessons7 Elaine. DEAR ELAINE: You're the one who will have to have the self-confidence, not me. Certainly, there's a chance you might break a leg but accident* will happen and do happen when Jfou least expect them to happen. DEAR DAN: My girl's birthday is December 20 Am I expected to buy her two presents -- birthday and Christmas or ju^t the one? -- Pat £). --JMDAR PATt One present will suffice and that come* f.^m ^ °ld pr.° ~~ my birthday w Dec. 26, making me feel like trhe morfilng after."

You can get one at his office any time. This record book has space for all records for farm income and expenses, including those needed for accurate social security and income tax returns. The book was prepared by members of the Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Illinois. R. B. Schwart, University of Illinois extension specialist in farm management, says that the 1963 record book includes five-year depreciation schedules as suggested bjr the Internal Revenue Service. It provides for capitalizing breeding and dairy stock from inventory accounts to depreciation schedules. This procedure alone can make important tax savings for many farmers who keep records on the inventory or accrual basis. The book also contains instructions for comparing the farm returns per $100 worth of feed fed to cattle, hogs and sheep, as well as long time averages. It includes a list of questions by which a farmer can check his production methods against those recommended by the College of Agriculture. The record book also provides a simple procedure for 1 making a limited analysis of the farm business by comparisons with current standards furnished by the college.

For one thing, every set should be readjusted after tube replacement for the best efficiency. Most folks do not know how to do this. Worn out tubes could be caused by another malfunction of the set, so tube replacement is only a temporary remedy of the breakdown. You need tubes more often, and meanwhile, other units of the set are getting overworked and building up to a king-size breakdown.
