Their booth was called Fun with Birds. Bird posters were used on a white background with smaller pictures of birds used as borders or frames. Live birds that were on display were an American Singer Canary, Norwhich Canary, Orange Weaver Finch and a Blue Cordian Finch. Bird records were played in the background. On display were, seed samples, Robin's nest and eggs. Finch nest and eggs, Canary nest and eggs. • The booth had Cubbers making bird nests by breaking cups away from egg cartons and trimming sides, then cutting small pieces of burlap and pulling apart to glue to the inside of the cups and trimming to make small birds nests. The nests were filled with home made eggs and were given as prizes for the game played at the booth. Prizes were awarded to those who drew a golden egg. Easter baskets were used to display the nests, prizes and book marks which were given to each person visiting, the booth. The book markers were cut out by the Cubs and they pasted bird pictures on them. The Cubs and parents working were kept very busy the entire day and evening making the displays and prizes and anxiously awaiting the awarding of the ribbons. Accepting the coveted blue ribbon for the Pack were two of the Pack's Denmothers, Ruth Roach and Vicki Bottari. The winning of an award always takes many people many hours of work and this was no exception, setting up the booth was done by Bob Belzer, Mrs. Schaan and Mrs. Ruth Roach, who owns the birds that were on display. The people who took down the booth were Mr. and Mrs. Sabatka and Mrs. Vickie Boitari. Workers at the booth throughout the day were Mrs. Roach and son Ray, Jeff and Mrs. Nylander, Tom and Mrs. Creutz, Keith Belzer, Terry and Mrs. Waller, David Schaan, Mark and Mrs. Lawrence, Doug Schmitt, Mr. Brda, Bruce Munson, Peter Wirtz, Mike Miller, Mrs. Munson and John, Alphonse and Mrs. Bazak, Joe Doherty, Mark Betancourt, Danny McAuliffe and Paul Sch- weder, Mr. Brefeld and Tom, Jeff and Mrs. Huff, Joey, Er­ nest and Mrs. Pieroni.

Ruth Roach hadn't come down from "Cloud Nine" on Sunday morning when she called in the news. They all worked very hard for the award and all deserve a big pat on the back for a job so very well done. SCOUTING NEWS Cathy Schooley, Scribe for Girl Scout Troop 320, gave the following report. On Thursday of last week the Troop hiked out to Shamrock Farms. The girls took nosebag lunches and the leaders provided lemonade. We saw newly shipped cattle vaccinated, visited the con­ finement area where 600 cattle were waiting for rotation and shipment to the slaughter house. We were shown how steers are fed and all the equipment. Also saw a two day old calf. The girls were picked up by their parents at three o'clock. It was a very full eventful, educational af­ ternoon. At our meeting Laura Marino earned her collectors badge by showing her collec­ tion of foreign coins. Badges will be obtained this week to be given out at awards night. All parents are requested to attend the awards night and ceremony on May 26 at 7:30 at our community house. Refresh­ ments will be served by the Scouts." Troop 459's Scribe, Bob Scholley stated that their booth at the Scout-O-Rama was on Knot Tying. They showed how to make the various knots and what they are used for.

ON HUMANS "An Open Letter to Human Beings: "I hope each and every one of you is proud to be a human being. You have gained un­ controllable knowledge, mobility, security, and a fatal dose of dominance; and you've paid a price. If you are a human being, the price was well worth the gain. All you gave up was your identity. "Does anybody ever remember what their identity is? You are an animal. You consist basically of the very same things your pet dog is. But you have a brain. You are man. Homo sapien. But what are you without that brain. Probably the weakest animal in the world. "And you would die.

Southern Illinois university is the first four-year Illinois state university to have granted this a small duck did last Friday evening. He was murdered by every 'human being' in the world. Or perhaps it was a small rabbit on a country road. It doesn't matter, for you are many and man is dominant, let nothing stand in your way. "So be proud human being, and when the ducks and the rabbits and all the rest of the natural wildlife have been murdered by your plague of intelligence. Then, perhaps, you truly will be number one. "Spokesman for the animals that are left. "Robert L. Minor "3714 West Ellen road "McHenry" recognition to the associate degree. According to Mrs. Darlene Hoffman, MCC director of counseling, "This is a very important breakthrough for community college students because it takes away the need to exactly match freshman- sophomore general education requirements with those of the four-year college. It will be much easier for the student to plan his program, knowing that by meeting MCC ^degree requirements, he will be a junior at SIU." Mrs. Hoffman went on to explain that several other state universities have also indicated that they will be moving in a similar direction. Numerous private colleges, both in and out-of-state, have already given full acceptance of the associate degree as meeting general education requirements. "What this means, from a broad viewpoint," Mrs. Hoff­ man explained, "is that the four-year colleges are putting increased faith in the com­ munity college education. The associate degree from a community college is becoming a good ticket for four-year college admission."
