* - SPECIAL FORD -- Area Ford dealerships will introduce a special version of the Mav­ erick (above) to celebrate the car's first an­ niversary on April 17. Tlie "birthday" spec­ ial features a deluxe interior trim package at no extra cost and optional side-and-hood striping. The car will be offered exclusively by Ford division dealers in Cook and nine surrounding Illinois and Indiana counties for a limited time only. Introduced as the first of American's new small cars, MaVerick has taken its place along­ side Mustang and Falcon as (me of the industry's most successful new models. Nicknamed the "simple machine" because of economy of op­ eration and do-it-yourself service features, the car is expected to exceed one-third of a mil­ lion sales in its first year. Preview Of Stock Car Racing At Rockford Sunday A preview of the 1970 stock car racing season will be pre­ sented this Sunday, April 19 as the Rockford Speedway swings open its gates for the twenty-third season. All are cordially invited to attend free1 Farm Bureau Membership At 3,000 For Record Farm Bureau membership in McHenry county for the first time exceeds 3,000! Surprising success in the month-long drive ending last week produced ninety-six new members and nudged the total to 3,004 members, Henry Edger- ton, executive secretary, told a shouting, applauding victory dinner audience at the Timbers. In 1966, Edgerton recalled a long shot chance to reach 3,000 but the year's total fell thirty-five members short. This year, he forecast a chance to sign forty members and set that total as the 1970 goal. Edgerton says the surge in new members that more than doubled his original goal re­ sulted, from several ' "Some farmers who have been in the county for years but never joined have decided 'now is the time' and joined. We also had many energetic work­ ers, including some new direc­ tors who displayed enthusiasm, leadership and an understanding of the value of a membership for farmers. "We have some young men becoming old enough to farm- perhaps with Dad or by them­ selves--and they have joined. We continue to have many peo­ ple move into our county from farmland claser to Chicago. They transfer their member­ s' ship here," he continued. I Another important segment of the new membership comes from people moving into the [ county who are interested in improved rural life because of «their long-time interest in ag- * riculture. They want someone to show an interest inproblems of rural life, rural income, local government problems and • rural pollution-so they turn to the organization known for its , dedication to the best interests > of all the people, Edgerton sum­ marized. | New members signed by the winning North team totaled fif- ' ty-two. The South signed forty- ffour. Lyle Mecklenburg, Alden township, was county chairman and also head of the North team. ;Fred Pedersen, county vice- chairman from Algonquin town­ ship, headed the South team which signed forty-four mem­ bers. Mecklenburg led all for­ mer workers with eleven new (members. Trailing were John Pfingsten, Woodstock, 6; Dale Noe, Mar­ engo, and Jim Book, Harvard, 5 each; and Dick Arseneau, 4. Arseneau accepted the township trophy, captured by Richmond- Burton townships with thirteen new members. , Among employees, five Country companies agents paced the field. Doug Rudsinski / signed fifteen and Gene Frost signed ten. All new members and their spouses will be honored guests at a dinner April 23 in the Woodstock V.F. W. This is a new event sponsored by the Farm Bureau to enable new members to get acquainted with Farm Bureau and affiliated company employees, Farm Bureau di­ rectors and other members. They will also learn about ser- tices available and latest in- - formation on such Farm Bureau-concerned projects as Con-Con in Springfield and new {arm legislation in Washington, D.C. of charge, as Joe Shear, 1969 Rockford Speedway champion unveils his new 1970 racer.

Practice laps will be made Sunday by many types of speedway vehicles; including sports cars, midgets, sprint cars, super modifieds, and ev­ en go-karts. Also on hand will be the Rockford Speedway Speed-Hearts; specially selec­ ted young ladies will not only greet guests to the speedway on opening day, but they will also perform a unique Indian "No Rain Please" dance. The dance hopefully will drive the rain spirits from the Rock­ ford Speedway area for the entire 1970 racing season.

These census workers will visit missions, all-night thea­ ters, city parks, and other places "floaters" might be found in this special effort to make sure that all residents of the area are counted. Persons who do not have a fixed address are included in the population of the place where they are e- numerated. The district manager pointed out that under census law, ev­ eryone is required to answer official census questions. The same law specifies that all in­ formation collected by census takers must be kept confiden­ tial. MONDAY NITE COMMERCIAL LEAGUE McHENRY RECREATION V. Pakulla 200; Joe Etten 200, 223, 620; F.

USDA REMOVES MERCURY SEED TREATMENTS Mercury seed treatments have been removed from the University of Illinois' list of recommended fungicides fol­ lowing their suspension by the USDA's Agricultural Research service. Mercury seed treatments were removed because caution statements and directions for proper use failed to prevent misuse of the treated seed as livestock feed. Use a combination of Vita- vax plus either captan or thir- am for small grain seed treat­ ments this year. Seed already treated with mercury may be planted this spring. Destroy all unused mercury treated seed-grain immediately to pre­ vent its use as feed or food. TORNADOES ' March, April and May are tornado months in Illinois. Of the average 5.6 tornadoes that strike in Illinois each year, more than 70 percent occur during these three spring months. While the actual chances of a tornado striking any particular spot are slim, it is best to know what to do in advance--just in case--rather than after a tor­ nado hits. First know what the terms "tornado watch" and "tornado warning" mean. A tornado watch means that conditions are right for a tor­ nado to develop in a speci­ fied area--usually along a line 200 to 300 miles long. A tor­ nado watch does not mean that a tornado is coming. A tornado warning, on the otfyer hand, means that a tor­ nado has actually been sighted in the area or detected on ra­ dar. When a tornado warning is issued for your area, take im­ mediate safety precautions. WHERE DO 4-ITERS LIVE Only about a third of the 3.5 million 4-H members live cm farms. Another third reside in cities and small towns, and the remaining third live in rural and farm communities,accord­ ing to the Federal Extension service. Altogether, there are some 50 categories of 4-H programs. Each attempts to educate, teach skills, develop character and leadership, and motivate the youngster to "achieve" by doing the job as well as he can. TAKE TIME FOR SAFETY Don't give safety a fast shuf­ fle. That's the advice of 4-H boys and girls earnestly pur­ suing safety. Their projects cover a wide range of accident prevention in the home, on the farm, the high­ way, in sports, hunting, camp­ ing, and in doing plain every­ day tasks. The national 4-H safety pro­ gram, conducted by the Cooper­ ative Extension service and supported for a quarter-century by General Motors, enrolls about a half-million youths annually between the ages of 9 and 19 years. The remaining 2.5 million 4-Ifers throughout the nation also apply #afety practices to many projects,ac­ cording to the National 4-H Ser­ vice committee. Community safety programs are undertaken by 4-H clubs. Surveys cover water, fire, high­ ways, schools and parks. Haz­ ard hunts are popular. Safety exhibits, window displays, pos­ ters, contests and publicity are among the methods employed to create safety awareness among residents, the 4-H'ers report. Safety specialists maintain that habits formed early in childhood are apt to stay.
