* Portrait Of Farmer's Wife What Is it lite to be the wife of a firmer? Mrs. Roger Hueber, a farmer's wife from Malta in DeKalb county, gives her impressions of "A Far­ mer's Wife". Although net a professional writer, Mrs. Hue­ ber draws an entertainingly ac­ curate portrait of the modern farm wife. A FARMER'S WIFE Her day begins with the first peek of dawn and* ends when the moon is high in the sky. She's much more comfortable in jeans. They're easier to get over the feifte in. She can help sort pigs and cattle, pitch silage, unload bales, feed chickens, drive tractors, and bed sheds. But she'll never be an expert at backing up a four-wheeled wag­ on. She can plow, disk drag, or crimp. She can spread manure, shred stalks, fill a Silo, and haul in grain. She can feed three extra men at a moment's notice during harvest and still find time to dash to town for those needed repairs. She's a wife and mother, mid­ wife and errand girl. She's a home maker and farm­ hand, baker, and seamstress. She's a spur-of-the moment vet, bookkeeper, and secretary. She's a Sunday School tea­ cher, PTA officer, extension member and choir member. She waves goodbye as the school bus disappears down the road,vthen mounts the tractor and heads for the filed. No one else can remove all those things from her hus­ band's pockets for the wash and still overlook two nails, a ballpoint pen, and that impor­ tant receipt. She likes the aroma of fresh- baked bread, a bouquet of fresh flowers, and the clean smell after a quiet rain. And when he comes in for dinner and nothing has gone right for him she knows he'll smile when he gets a piece of his favorite pie. She reads the term maga­ zines so she'll know about the newest herbicides, insect­ icides, and farm equipment. She's always there with a lis­ tening ear, but leaves the de- cision-making to him. She trusts his judgment. And when her day is all plan­ ned and he comes in with "How about riding along with me?" she's ready to go and leave her plans behind. And in the busiest season she'll get so tired that you can hear her whisper, "Dear God, if s just got to rain." She's America's greatest career girl. But she's consider­ ed an unemployed housewife. She's a farmer's wife. I Baptists Host Services Come Worship With Us In Spanish Rite >.y. "Come worship with us at our Spanish language service", encourages Rev. Abel Pena, extending a friend­ ly hand of invitation as he visits throughout McHenry county, tt is the work of the Spanish pastor to seek out all who will participate with him in his several worship services in McHenry. The warm smile upon his face simply accentuates his greeting to all whom he meets. "Where will you And people for a Spanish language congregation?" is the question often put to the Rev­ erend Pena. "Oh, our people are here and everywhere", is the confident reply of the minister. "We are finding new people all the time and with summer coming there will be many more. We will not be short of people with which to minister", concluded Mr. Pena. The Spanish speaking congregation is at home shar­ ing the facilities of the First Baptist church of Mc­ Henry, sponsor of the group. Full church services are conducted twice each Sunday and a prayer service and Bible study is conducted on Tuesday evenings at 7:30 p.m. at the Baptist church. Bible study at 9:45 on Sunday is under the direc­ tion of Harold Rubio, % new resident of the area from Guatemala. Children of the families attend the regular English speaking classes while their parents are led by Rubio in the Spanish language. "En la cruz, en la cruz, de primerp vi la luz, Y las manchen de mi alma yo lave", are the strains of the most loved hymn of the Christian congregation as they come together to worship at 10:45 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. each Sunday. Mr. Rubio also leads the con­ gregation in singing and on occasion preaches for them as well. Though strong ties remain in his native Texas, Pena and his family have dedicated themselves to the building of a strong Spanish church in McHenry. \ "It is difficult to leave our hone; and especially after I had just had some remodeling done on the house for my wife", was Rev. Pena's humble comment, "but we're sure this is what God would have us do." The Penes made a trip to Pharr, Texas, to close their home and to inform his widowed mother that she need only telephone and they would come at any emergency. The family moved to McHenry in January of this year from Woodstock, where they had lived for some months. Perhaps- the persons who have been the most in­ strumental 9 the beginning of the congregation are Mrs. Isaac Martipez of Woodstock and Mrs. Petra Rangal of McHenry. Both these ladies were most encouraging to the McHenry Baptist church to begin Spanish services. Mrs. Rangal is the mother-in-law of Mr. Sabas Mer- cado. The Pena family is also talented in an abundance of musical ability. Miss Sylvia Pena, the oldest daughter/ is pianist for the congregation. Rev. Pena sings and plays the guitar and harmonica. Mrs. Pena joins the entire family as they sing together for the enjoyment and worship of the group. Peter and Hilda are the younger Pena children. '< "We are indeed fortunate to have leadership like the Pena family for our Spanish speaking friends", was the comment of the Rev. V. Chappell, pastor of the sponsoring church. "The Penas are not only a very dedicated and talented people but are also a credit to our community in their many activities." "We are well pleased with the response of so many of the people in the area", continued Rev. Chappell. "We want the community of McHenry county to know that these are Spanish worship services conducted reg­ ularly and that all interested persons are encouraged to attend". Rev. Pena accompanies his wife on the guitar as she sang for the Spanish speakiqg congregation in a recent service. The con­ gregation meets at the First Baptist church of McHenry. •v.v :*& 3* Mrs. Rachel Plana, Sylvia Pena and Rev. Abel Pena are pictured in back. In front are Peter and Hilda Pena. Rev.

This is espec­ ially encouraging since half of the money stays with the pack and will help finance summer activities. Starting April 20 there will be three Webelo fathers at each Webelo meeting. These are held every Monday evening at 7:30 at the Methodist church. A list will be available at the pack meeting on which fathers can sign up. After the meeting any father who has not chosen a date will be assigned by the Webelo leader on dates which are not covered. In this way fathers who feel they cannot devote a night a week for the entire year will be able to work with the boys one evening every month or so. Hie April pack meeting will be April 16 at 7:30 p.m. Den 5 will put on a skit and the mothers of this den will serve refreshments. The boys and parents of Den 5 are reminded to come early and help set up. It is again time to plan sum­ mer activities. Some of the more popular activities from last year will be repeated.
