©w-w; PG. 16, - PLAINOEALER - FRI., FEB. 9, 1968 TWO IDEAS SET CONSERVATION MEETING THEME ' , (Continued from page 1) interpretations and subsequent land use, many urban problems how related to poor land use, 4 can be eliminated. Ten percent of the county land is now being used for all urban uses - residential, commercial and industrial - the other 90 percent for agriculture and open space. "It is apparent we will continue to be doing farming in the county for a long timo", added Quay, '* With wise management of land, there will be room for the population growth and the added ur- - ban requirements." "Youth in Conservation" has demonstrated an increased emphasis within the county inFFA and 4-H upon conservation. Dick Crone, Harvard; Larry Hoyt and Jim Nusbaum, Woodstock; Larry Frohling, Marengo; Gordon Deidrick, Huntley, and Russell Rudolph, McHenry, each representing their high school FFA chapter, stressed that each of their clubs in cooperating with the SWC district in stressing soil conservation work. David Smith, assistant extension adviser for agriculture explained that the 4-H Rangers is now. being organized on a county-wide basis to deal and participate strictly with conservation action projects like soil and water, forestry and wildlife. Vernon Anderson, Agriculture Stabalization and Conservation service office manager, and Sam Haning, Soil Conservation Service technician for the SWC district, explained the cost-share programs (federal government pays as much as 50 percent for agriculture producers involving meadow development, contour stripping, construction of farm ponds, erosion control dams, tile outlets, winter cover seeding, stripp cropping, wildlife cover, and country side beautification to ' name just a few. Haning added that next year conservation tillage 'practices will be greatly stressed. In a slide tour of the county Louis Engelbrecht, extension adviser, and Clayton Bruce, SCS assistant conservationist, showed "before" and "after" pictures demonstrating how colour farming and strip cropping, had virtually eliminated 6erious erosion problems. Flooring problems around the county dams showed grave top soil erosion. Engelbrecht said that last year over 100,000tons of McHenry county top soil were lost to the waterway system which drains into the Mississippi and down to the Louisiana delta. The melting of last year's big snow flooded and ruined countless acres of corn and other crops. Conservation farm practices can lessen or eliminate these problems. In the business meeting conducted by District Chairman y Kenneth Fiske, Henry Markison, Marengo, Myron Pihl, Harvard and Arthur Hoppe, McHenry were re-elected to the board for two year terms. Harold Rowe, Woodstock, and Donald McKee will remain as associate directors, with Donald Barrett, Harvard, William Harris, Richmond and James Mc- Culloh, Woodstock and will be joined by David cash, Harvard. British Columbia claims gome 400 billion board of feet of standing timber. UCP PROGRAM, SERVICES WILL BE SURVEYED "A comprehensive survey of programs, facilities and services for the cerebral palsied in Illirois will be conducted during the months of January through April, with a view to providing substantial medical and therapeutic assistance to those stricken by this affliction" , Mrs. John L. Boehm, chairman, United Cerebral Palsy of McHenry County, McHenry, stated this week. This survey in thirty-one counties will be conducted by a team of six consultants from the National United Cerebral Palsy association in New York City, together with seven staff members of U.C.P. of Illinois. Also included are three volunteer members of the Illinois board of directors. The survey will be made over a period of nine weeks, including 45 days of intensive interviews and discussions with agencies and individuals providing services to the multiply handicapped persons in the state. "An effort will be made to assess the unmet needs of more than 20,000 cerebral palsied children and adults in Illinois and to establish minimum programs standards for each of the seven area affiliate chapters organized in November of 1966" Mrs. Boehm affirmed. Illinois will be the fourth such state covered by this evaluation team during the past year on behalf of the national chapter. The purpose is the further promulgation of codes of activity for the state and area chapters and also to delineate the most important needs of the multiply handicapped child and adult. This will make possible a concentrated effort on behalf of the volunteer organization throughout the state to provide services or initiate programs of further interest and expansion through the taxsupported agencies. Musin' & Meanderin (Continued from page 1) much is happening in their former home town. It was nice, too, to enjoy a postcard "chat" with Mrs. H. Schwarz, now visiting for the winter season in California. Last Week Mrs. Herman H. Mass of McCullom Lake placed an ad in the Plaindealer concerning two missing pet dogs. A tan Manchester terrier turned up in the bushes near their door five days later, dead from a .22 rifle shot. The white poodle is still missing. Their disappearance came during school hours, which indicates that an older person must have been responsible for losses which took these pets, 10 and 7 years old, from their family. K.A.F. PLAN FOOD INSPECTION (Continued from page 1) pointed out proposed changes on the zoning map for instructions from the council in preparing a petition for hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals. He called attention to the fact that the council had adopted an ordinance providing that all newly annexed property comes into the city under the highest classification of "R-l". This was done to protect all property owners in the interim between annexation and a zoning hearing to establish classifications. It is expected that the Planning commission and zoning board will come up with definite ideas for consideration by the council. Council members expressed opinions indicating an unfair situation on charges paid by laundromats for sewer services. Laundromats now using private water supply instead of city water will be contacted to work out a more equitable ' charge for city services. The request of the Girl Scouts to hold their annual Cookie Day in McHenry on March 30 was approved. The Salvation Army Do-Nut Day was approved for June 7. .. Ravens are about twice the size of crows. COURT HOUSE INADEQUATE, SAYS LAWYERS (Continued from page 1) Woodstock", said Herrmann. The association urges that discussions, based upon rational factors and in an atmosphere of good will, begin again in order to overcome the impasse now existing between the Board of Supervisors, the Building commission and the city of Woodstock. "Everyone concerned must bend every effort to alleviate the intolerable conditions that presently exist in McHenry county's outmoded courthouse. To that end," concluded Herrmann, "the McHenry County Bar association stands ready at any time to help negotiate a solution to the Court House problem, a problem which the Bar association urges must be solved as soon as possible."

Eskimos seldom learn to swim, because of the coldness of water. Easy Space Frame Holds Bulky Gear Every home needs storage space for bulky things like boxes of holiday decorations, camping gear, collections of seldom-used odds and ends. If there's a basement, the best thing to do is to buiid a shelf system against one wall. Don't ?i?ake it fancy; just frame the space with Douglas fir 2x4s to make a big box. Then run additional 2x4s front-to-back between the uprights and lay fir 1x12 boards lengthwise over these cross pieces to make the shelves. Be sure the unit is deep enough: two feet or more. Instead of building doors for the unit, attach bright-colored roller shades at the top. They can be pulled down quickly to conceal the shelves of boxes, rolled up for full, easy access to the shelving. 'I think what I miss most i9 my telephone.' Mobile Maid DISHWASHER 4 CYCLES!
