Stewart was McHenry county's representative at the Young Farmers discussion meet held earlier this month at the Ogle County Farm Bureau in Oregon, site where the various candidates for "Outstanding Young Farmer" were in­ terviewed. Walters and the five other district winners from around the state will have their record ited by the state-wide 5, and winners will be innounced at the Illinois Agricultural association convention in November. Walters has been an ar­ ticulate leader and a per­ sonable participant in agricultural projects since his high school days. He had an outstanding vocational agricultural and Future Farmers of America achievement record at Hebron high school and attributes his farming experience in vocational agriculture as the foundation on which he built his farming operation today. From a $2,000 net worth when he left high school, he's ac­ cumulated a 360-acre farm, the machinery to operate it and to be able to feed 2,000 hogs and 220 feeder cattle yearly. "The bank and I own quite a lot," he says good-naturedly, paraphrasing a statement attributed to his father, Ervin Walters, when Walters and his sons, Dick and Dan, were the subject of a Time magazine story in March, 1971. At Hebron high school, Dick was elected the section 6 FFA president in 1960-61, the state vice-president in 1961-62; the winner of the State Farmer degree in 1960, and the American Farmer degree in 1962.

Judge Brody Graduate Of > Law Program Judge Leonard Brody of McHenry "was recently graduated from an intensive program at the National College of the State Judiciary. The four-week program is designed to bring to judges the most recent developments in the law along with other sub­ jects of particular interest to the judiciary. Included in the curriculum were courses in court administration, com­ munity relations, family law, civil proceedings, criminal and civil law, special problems in the judicial function, evidence, sentencing and probation. Judge Brody, in seeking to perfect his role as both lawgiver and effective public servant, attended daily lec­ tures and participated in numerous discussion group6 during the session. He was among 250 judges from fifty states, most of whom were using their vacation time, to complete the course of study. The National College of the State Judiciary was founded in 1964 for the purpose of providing continuing legal education for the nation's judges of general jurisdiction. Since then the college, an ac­ tivity of the American Bar association's National Con­ ference of State Trial Judges, has expanded to meet the educational demands of the appellate and limited jurisdiction judges as well. The college's programs are funded by the Max C. Fleischmann foundation and the W.K. Kellogg foundation.

While the earliest recollection of the structure were hazy in the minds of many, all recall the Parker family who owned both the Parker House, where the Howard Wattles apartment building now stands, and the Park hotel.
