The attractive, alert Miss Frisby, who resides at 3804B W„ Main street, celebrated her eighty-fifth birthday Sept. 4 of this year. It was in 1916 that she started writing for the Elgin Courier News as McHenry correspondent, taking over the duties of her sister, Irene Frisby Warner, at the time of the tetter's marriage. It was about the same time that she started contributing news to the McHenry Plaindealer. In 1960 she retired from ttie Courier News but is still active with the Plaindealer, contributing the Personal items for each issue. Through the years she has enjoyed one favorite hobby, writing poems, some of which have been printed in various periodicals. A year ago, on the occasion of her eighty-fourth birthday, her nieces and nephews presented her with a bound edition of the poems, several of which are printed here. From The Farm Adviser's Desk Who was the 4-H leader, or leaders, of the first 4-H club in McHenry county? What was the name of the first 4-H club? Where was it located and when was it organized? We assume the first 4-H club in McHenry county was started in either 1918 or 1919. Records of the first 4-H cliSbs in the county are lost and we need help in getting information on this first club, the leaders and membership for the "History of McHenry County". Anyone having the above 4-H information, please call 815- 338-3737. Please help us. Of each $1.00 spent for food produced in the U.S. last year, marketing expenses took 67 cents, leaving only 33 cents that could be paid to the farmer who produced it. This is 7 cents less than the 40 cents of each $1.00 the farmer received in 1963. In 1966, consumers spent $83.4 billion for food produced by U.S. farmers. Of this amount, marketing costs took $55.3 billion, or $2.6 billion more than in 1965. Labor by far is the biggest cost in the marketing of farm products. Wages and compensation to employees was 49 percent greater last year than in 1960. Income from wages and salaries last year was also 20 times the income from dividends to investors in corporations. CALF COLDS AND SCOURS You're inviting calf colds and scours if you let water drops collect on the ceiling and sidewalls of your calf barn. Moisture condensation in your barn means it isn't ventilated adequately. You can solve the problem in one of these ways: Open the south side of the calf barn and allow the inside temperature to fluctuate with the outside temperature. Cold temperatures will not harm a calf as long as it is dry and has no drafts. You can also close the barn up tight, insulate it well and install a good forced-air ventilation system, weather, insulated may need In cold buildings supplemental heat. SWINE INFLUENZA Warm days and cool nights can be hazardous for swine. University of Illinois Extension veterinarians warn that wide fluctuations in temperature often bring outbreaks of swine influenza. Clean, well-ventilated quarters free from drafts are good protection against the disease. HORSE BOTS Now is a good time to make an appointment with you veterinarian to treat horses for stomach bots soon after the first hard frost. University of Illinois Extension Veterinarians pbint out that bots probably are the least recognized parasite in Illinois horses, which should be treated each year. Bots often bring about attacks of colic and heavy infestations may rupture the stomach, causing death. OVERFED DOG University of Illinois Veterinarians say an overfed dog has less resistance to distemper infection than do normally fed or underfed dogs. The American autograph regarded as being of the highest value is that of Button Gwinnett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence- Harrison Highlights On Thursday, Oct. 16, twentynine fourth grade papils and their teacher, Mrs. Keyes, moved out-of-doors, for a day of learning. From their midst, they chose "Follow the Fall" as their theme. The trails through Veteran's Acres in Crystal Lake offered many wonders of the season to be appreciated and talked about. Oak trees predominate the region and Mr. Reimer, the outdoor education director of southern McHenry county, spoke about this-telling us that reason, implicating that the Indians of this territory planted them. Our "Follow the Fall" theme was intensified when each child mounted their 'finds' and shared them with the fourth grade friends in Mrs. Cunning*s roopi. A mural graces our wall with trees and woodsy background and twenty-nine children and teacher enjoying, while learning, about the beauty of the fall season for expression in Art. Mr. Koch, our bus-driver took us over and back through Bull Valley, especially noticing the deep, brilliant colors of autumn foliage. Several very old homes with unusual architecture were in view and talked about. The event was culminated by lunch in the Acres and fun on the playground equipment. We observed, we listened, we learned and hope to learn more--about fungi, seeds, migrating birds as we recall our "Follow the FaU"experiences. The twenty-six students of Mr. Wightman's sixth grade class have been making rather extensive use of the program presented by the Wisconsin School of the Air. They currently utilize the programs, "Let's Write", which deals with the development of creative writing skills of students; "Old Stories and New Ideas", a program devoted to a series of sixteen programs featuring literature from man's earliest beginnings; aid the program, " Wonderful World of Nature", which will, hopefully, present learnings which can then be transferred to extensive nature and conservation study in terms of related field trips and projects developed within the confines of our classroom. Mrs. Samielson's third grade have enjoyed studying about their hobbies in Language work and have given oral reports as they showed them to the class. Mrs. Samuel son commented that they have had many very interesting reports. "Science has become such an important part of our lives that I chose to study autumn time", reported Mrs. Oestriecher, first grade tea:her. "This is a time when children are coming back to school and would be able to see the various changes taking place. I felt that this would make an informal working condition and provide an opportunity for children to express their own ideas and at the same time open up many avenues of interest. Science is striving for truth.

Each child made a book of his own which stimulated a great deal of thinking." I feel that his project has been very worthwhile. Through observations, discussions and activities, they have learned how people, animals and plants are affected by seasonal changes; also how important it is for all cono jr icvl to make many adjustments to meet these changing conditions. City Arrests Quentin R. Steinke of Marengo was arrested by city police for driving 50 miles an hour in a 35-mile zone. Charlie L. Sims of 611 Amanda avenue, McHenry, was apprehended for not having a valid driver's license. True mahogany comes from the West Indies aid pans of Central America. It's license plate time again; in most states. If you're in the ^ process of registeringyour c&r, you may be aware of only one fact concerning your plates-- that you're paying anywhere from S3 to $100 for them depending npon the taxing system in yoii '- slate and whether you're buying a personalized '-vanity plate", which is available in nineteen states. The money may be all you care abou', but there are a number of other interesting facts worth knowing about license plates. There are more than 165 million license plates mounted on approximately % million motor vehicles in the I nited States. Thirty states issue license plates each year. The others issue plates for periods ranging from two to ten years. Multi-year licensc p'atcs have an average expected life of about five years. If a plate deterlora'es before its issue period expires, the state will replace it with a plate of the same number. Sometimes states charge for replacement. Vehicle registration fees are collected yearly in all fifty states. M ilti-year plates are "validated" each year with a tag or sticker. Thirty-two states and the District of Columbia have adopted "safety" license plates which are covered with a reflective material. In som? states, only the lege.id and border of the plate is reflective. In others, the background is. 1 With your high beams on, you can see a license plate with a fully refleetorized background from 2,000 feet dD-v.i the road--m:re tha i o le-third of a mile. Seventeen states issue only one license plate per vehicle, to be mounted on the rear. The size of a licenio plate, standard in all 50 states, is 6 by 12 inches. The faces of five men appear on license plates: "Stub" Farlow, an old-time rodeo star, rides on Wyoming plates, while South Dakota's plate is crowded with the faces of Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and George Washington.
