COUNTY RECEIVES $1,528,523 UNDER SUBSIDY PROGRAMS McHenry county farmers received $1,528,523 under four federal acreage reduction and subsidy programs during 1962, a survey by the Agriculture- Business Relations Committee off the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce has revealed. The largest block of payments, $1,317,369 was made for reducing corn acreage in the feed grain control program. Cash grain growers were most numerous nmong the signers of the acreage reduction plan because they are more dependent upon the local juice of corn lhan the cattle, sheep and hog raiser, or dairyman, Who makes his money producing meat and dairy products. Agricultural conservation payments (ACP) were an ensv checks. McHenry county farmers collected $66,994 for cost shoring in the purchase of agricultural limestone and ground rock phosphate, and for seeding grass waterways, building dams, sowing cover crops and improving pastures. The conservation reserve (soil bank) under which farmera are compensated for retiring part or all of their crop land to grass as a means of reducing the surplus accounted for $125,225 in federal payments. The wheat acreage reduction plan brought an additional $28,- 935 to a handful of wheat growers. Costs of administering farm programs have been steadily rising. Throughout Illinois they reached a high of nearly $15 million last year as some 8,100 full-time and part-time employees drew pay checks for helping do the paper work, mt'.T.i;: r <•<>ni|>1 i;im•<• or maid tain the government's extensive grain bins. HEBRON BOY KILLED SUNDAY NEAR CROSSING - - - Gene Lange, 11, of Hebron was killed and his mother and two sisters were seriously injured in an auto-train crash east of Hebron last Sunday. Mrs. Mariellen Lange applied brakes when she saw the Milwaukee road passenger train approaching, but the car went out of control and was skidding when struck broadside by the train. Mr T,tinge, dene and two gir l s in the f a m i l y , Gayle, 14, and Lore, 7, were thrown out of the car, which was demolished. The family was enroute to Hebron to attend church services when the accident occurred. Americans are re&ehiug for the moon. This is no idle catch phrase, but a reality facing • he Administration and the Congress. Major Gordon Cooper's recent twenty-two orbital flight focuses particular attention on the space race which our nation is waging with the Russian astronauts. However, the peaceful space exploration conducted l.y the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is distinct, in many respects, from ihe spectacular race for themoon. Many Americans are wondering whether America vill fret to the moon before the tussians7 And many suggest that the whole future course ot history will result from the prestige flowing to the nation which first lands a man on the moon, who can return to teiJ the story. In this dramatic program, many characteristics of private research are being junked in favor of a so-called "crash program." This appears to result in waste and extravagance at a time when our course should dictate a more deliberate program which could be less expensive and more likely to result in success. Foremost among the critics of the speedup moon shot program is Admiral Lewis Strauss, former Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission and a highly respected and knowledgeable person in the field of space. He points to the deficiences of a program which attempts to "leapfrog" basic steps in the research and development program. Also, he charges that our nation is jeopardizing its entire economy in- pursuit of a gigantic "stunt." There are many in the Congress, from both political parties, who support this general view and who would extend the moon shot program for several years, with the inevitable savinrs an greater; assurance* of success which would follow. In pressuring for an appropriation of 5.7 billion dollars and an over-all cost of 30 billion dollars to land a man on the moon in 1969, President Kennedy is basing his argument on the issue of prestige. He appears to be quite obdurate in this position. The popularenthusiasm which the mo;m shot engenders, coupled with the strong Democratic control of the Hrucse and Senate, would indicate that the President's multi-billion dollar "crash program" is on the way to passage. In the meantime, the debates will be long and eloquent on the floor of the House of Representatives, and the publicreaction on both sides of the j issue is bound to be great. But, | if we are the first on the moon ! and our "lunanaut" lands and : is lq>;t submerged in 200 feel of dust (which some claim the surface of the moon to be)--we may be asking: "Was it really worthwhile?" Indeed, this question has been posed to me several times: "WHY do we want to be first on the moon, anyway?" Regardless of the reasons, the decision to push ahead seems to have been made. One unanswered question still remains: "Will \vc get therefirst?" TRIP PREPARATIONS Adequate preparation for an extended auto trip inciudes three staqes--mental, physical, and mechanical. According to the Institute for Safer Living, proner mental and physical conditioning of the driver is as important as the condition of the car if both are to withstand the rigors of a cross country auto trip. mnmu mtmti sram in m REPUBLICAN CLUB WOMEN WILL MEET IN 12TH DISTRICT The 12th Congressional District Women's Republican club will hold its annual meeting Friday, June 28, at Lakefield farm, three miles north of Cary.
