Former Local Couple Resides In New Zealand An intersting letter arrived this past week from Mr. and Mrs. Alford Johnston, long time McHenry residents who are now making their home in New Zealand. "Here we are in the Bay of Islands, north of Auckland in New Zealand, enjoying 78 to 90 degree sunny weather, banana trees, citrus groves and a profusion of flowers. "We spent five delightful weeks at the resort hotels in the Fiji Islands and then survived that horrible hurricane "Bebe" during the sixth week. The winds were 170 m.p.h. and our native "bure" (thatched-roof bungalow) really took a beating - in fact it disappeared. "We were on Castaway Island only four miles in cir­ cumference and two hours by boat from the main island of Viti Levu. The damage to the Fiji Islands was tremendous. They estimated twenty million dollars and possibly five to ten years to rebuild. Those poor people lost everything - their homes, clothing, rice crop, banana, copra (coconut) and taro crops. The hospital at Lautska was blown down and sixteen people were killed. "All tourists evacuated Fiji because of shortage of food, no water for five days and fear of dysentery and typhoid. We were able to book passage the day the International Airport opened at Nadi to Auckland, New Zealand, to rest after such an ordeal. "As ever, "Harriet and A1 Johnston" (Editor's Note - The John­ stons will be at the following address until Dec. 15: G.P.O.

Rte.120 McHenry Ph. 385-6981 * Made fresh from the finest ingredients * Serving Thursday thru Sunday 5pm to 12am WE DELIVER College Graphic Arts Instructor Recognized IA A On Record To Continue Farm Federal Program The Illinois Agricultural association, state-wide Farm Bureau, last week went on record in favor of supporting legislation to continue a federal farm program similar to the present one which expires with the 1973 crop year. Adoption of policy positions on a wide range of public and agricultural issues was the final order of business of the 58th annual IAA convention in Chicago. The IAA will ask the American Farm Bureau Federation at its annual meeting next month to support market-oriented farm program legislation in 1973 designed to (1) assist in the creation of an economic climate which will permit farmers to increase their net farm income, (2) permit farmers optimum flexibility to plant those crops best suited to their farms, (3) gradually reduce farmers' dependence on government farm program payments for their income, (4) encourage land resources conservation and the enactment of en­ vironment consistent with the needs of both agriculture and the public, and (5) assist in the expansion of domestic and foreign farm markets. To attain these objectives, the voting delegates urged AFBF to support legislation to continue a program similar to the 1972 "set-aside" program under which farmers are paid for idling acres not needed for production of specific crops. ITEM: If the present migration trends continue, nearly half of the United States population will live in suburbs by the year 1985. ITEM: Chunky pretzel sticks make a good snack for young chil­ dren. To make them, just alter­ nate slices of hot dogs and cheese cubes on pretzel sticks. ITEM: The work week is ex­ pected to shorten to four days by 1985 and to three days by the year 2000.
