ACADEMIES (Continued from page 1) Something new has been added in recent years to the age-old meaning of St. Valentine's Day. In ancient Rome, it was a feast day to the goddess of marriage. In the Elizabethan England it was a day for love-struck swain to woo their ladies with poetry and song. In America, since the days of Pilgrims, it has been a day for the romantic exchange of gifts. Now, additionally, St. Valentine's Day has become recognized throughout the nation as the mid-point in the annual Heart Fund drive -- a thoroughly appropriate relationship for this day which, through the ages, has been dedicated to "affairs of the heart." What, after all, is a more significant "affair of the heart" than the Heart association's fight against the heart and blood vessel diseases, made possible by Heart fund dollars? And, in addition to the traditional Valentine remembrance, what could be more meaningful tribute to those we love than a heart-saving gift to the Heart fund? In the city of McHenry and surrounding areas, the annual drive for heart funds will begin this Monday, Feb. 18, with culmination on Sunday, Feb. 24.

Millstream Drugs Walgreen Agency Size Ol Human Stomttch No Argument For Farm Controls One of the biggest problems in today's economy --- and one which affects each of us -- is that of production controls of farm products. A popular argument used by advocates of government controls has been the size of the human stomach, which is fixed by nature. They reason that because this is so, people buy only a certain amount of food, although they have unlimited demands for other things. Since the demand for food depends on the size of the stomach, while the demand for other products is not thus limited, farm production should be restricted by law. Recent figures released by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, however, tend to prove the fallacy of the "stomach" argument. They show that over the past twelve years, the total domestic use of U. S. farm products for food rose 22 percent, while utilization of non-food purposes dropped 7 per cent. . * The two leading non-food products produced on farms in this country -- cotton and tobacco -- have been subjected to more restrictive cpntrols than the production of any food product or feed crop. In the last twelve years, the average per capita use of cotton decreased 22 per cent and tobacco, 4 per cent. The demand for many non-agricultural products also declined, one of the most spectacular example being coal. In the line of manufactured items, sales also declined, and those who look with disfavor on controls point to such extreme examples as old time buggies, player pianos,, kerosene lamps, and many others. The farmer, -- who is also a business man -- is more concerned with the kinds of food purchased and the amount the public is willing to spend rather than the amount of pounds consumed. One thing seems evident, that while good reasons may be advanced for imposing some production controls in agriculture, the size of the human stomach doesn't seem to be one of them.
