MCHENRY, ILLINOIS SOOSO 815-385-5400 PAGE 13-PLA1NDEALER-WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1972 GASSUPPLY Gordon L. Ropp, director, Illinois Department of Agriculture, recently asked major natural gas suppliers in the state to give special con­ sideration to grain elevators and farmers if gas supplies are short this fall. He took the action after some elevator operators reported difficulty in getting adequate supplies of gases to run their grain dryers. "I felt we should point out to the gas companies how important adequate gas supplies are to farmers, particularly at this time of year. They are in the middle of harvest and dryers must continue to operate if the marketing process of moving the grain from fiel,d to processor is not impeded," Ropp said. He noted that corn is coming out of farmers' fields with a higher moisture content this year than usual because of heavy rains in October and November. Farmers are late in getting their crops out of the fields and shortages of gas would be particularly harmful at this time, he said. MARKETING EFFORT Another attempt is being made to establish an apple and peach marketing program for Illinois producers. The program would set up ad­ vertising and sales promotion, market research and educational means fo aiding Illinois growers. Gordon L. • Ropp, director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture, has reappointed the temporary operating committee whose members drew up the first proposal that failed adoptiqp last spring by a slim margih. The committee will modify the first proposal and will then schedule a public hearing before another referendum is held on the new document. SWINE EMBARGOES Hog cholera continued to receive the attention of Illinois Department of Agriculture officials this week. Two changes were announced in the restriction of hog movements from other states into Illinois. Director Gordon Ropp an­ nounced a release on the em­ bargo of slaughter and breeding swine from the states of Indiana and Ohio, allowing all but feeder swine to enter Illinois. Complete embargoes will remain in effect against New Jersey, Texas, and North Carolina. Partial embargoes remain in effect against Tennessee and Georgia. Farmers are still advised to report any ill-acting hogs to their local veterinarians promptly. ACCIDENTS KILL 180 A 12 per cent decrease in traffic deaths was recorded in Illinois during November compared to the same period last year, according to Tran­ sportation Secretary William F. Cellini. This November 180 persons were killed, 24 fewer than the 204 traffic fatalities during November 1971. For January through November this year 166 fewer traffic deaths were recorded, or 2,039 compared to 2,205 in the first 11 months of 1971. Single car accidents took the lives of 30 pedestrians, a pedalcyclist and 47 drivers and passengers. Supportive Staff Working closely with District 15 teaching staff and ad­ ministrators is a supportive staff engaged in pupil services. This supportive staff consisting of counselors, school psychologists, reading specialists, speech therapists, and school nurses, helps the students in many ways by preparing them for achievement in the classroom. The counselor's role is to aid the student in making ad­ justments to the classroom by learning how to live with others (teachers and fellow students), how to realize his own self- worth, and how to form at­ titudes and behaviors which lead to success in school. The counselor does not exercise any administrative or disciplinary authority. He is a person who helps them to be psychologically prepared for learning. In some instances, a student may need help with problems of an emotional or psychological nature which demand diagnostic appraisal. In this case he or she is referred to the school psychologist after parental permission has been obtained. School District 15 contracts for the services of the school psychologist through SEDOM, Special Education District of McHenry County, with administrative offices in Woodstock. The reading specialists help students strengthen their reading skills and teach those students with poor reading habits ways to improve their reading speed and com­ prehension. Some students need the services of speech therapists to help them in verbal com­ munication. Since much classroom work involves verbal communication,it is important that students with speech defects be seen by a Speech Therapist on a regular basis. Another member of the supportive staff is the school nurse, who administers first aid to those who might be in­ jured or become ill at school. This person strives to insure that students come to school in reasonably good health. She oversees the hearing and vision screenings, vaccinations, and the school health and accident programs, as well as keeping an up-to-date health record on each student. The supportive staff mem­ bers of each school play a vital role in the educational program by conveying in­ formation to the parents and teachers. If parents have any questions about their child, they are encouraged to contact these staff members through the office of the school in which their child is in attendance. Pastor Tells Of Social Event In Gulf States (This is the fourth in a series of articles written by the Rev. William O. Hanner, retired Episcopal vicar, who is touring the South with his wife. The Hanners reside at 810 Oakwood drive, McHenry.) One of the strange things you note as you move about the country is how alike some areas are to other places you know. You will find the same kind of people or categories of them. And at the same time what differences there are. Last night I went to a dinner that I have seen duplicated so many times in Chicago. The people were from those same six Gulf Co'ast cities I have mentioned - all lie in Mississippi - Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian, Gulfport, Biloxi, Ocean Springs and Pascagoula. The population of these six runs somewhere just under 200,000. There are military bases as Keesler field, many retired military and an "area" population that helps make this figure. The dinner was given by the Metropolitan Dinner club of the area described above. It was friendly and so much fun that this report ought really be a Gulf Coast society report. The dinner was served by a famous and outstanding Beach hotel and motel. Everyone was in formal clothes. There were 615 at the dinner. The members- may bring only out of town guests so we were fortunate in being the guests of one of the past presidents, Glen Swetman, and his good wife of Biloxi. For home consumption, Mrs. Hanner wore a black and white print skirt, floor length, with a brilliantly colored border with a white lace bodice. The clergy get by easier, black suit, silk moire vest. There were bank presidents, retired generals, colonels and captains, the Republican committeeman from Mississippi, Victor ISlavar, and many other local leaders in business and arts and medicine with their ladies. It was like a famous Chicago benefit. The program for the evening was an address by William F. Buckley, Jr., author, editor, lecturer and veteran of many TV programs. His brother is one of the New York Senators in Washington. Mr. Buckley pleaded for the spiritual quality which was once so noted in our country and its founding fathers. Certain quotes: "Mr. McGovern's rhetoric is an expression of uneasement in America." "Man has become the tool of his tools". "The search for freedom for individuals is up against real odds." "It is wrong to tell a man how to think or how to use his life." In closing he quoted from Paul, "The more the outward man perisheth, the more the inward man is renewed day by day." In the question period after his address Mr. Buckley said, "The U.S. should not be enticed into the Irish question." " On the legalization of marajuana, "Don't worry about individual users but about the provider and the seller." About the last five presidents, "Since the days of Roosevelt there has been movement to the left. We need to redirect our freedom." About politics in general, "Society is fickle and forgets." I once heard a seminary dean put it another way, "Cor­ porations have short memories." And now just a Christmas note. The old Biloxi light house that was built in 1848 and cared for for years by a mother and daughter, withstood hurricane Camille. It stands erect and white with its light shining out to sea from the middle of Route 90, a busy, busy, road. For Christmas they have entwined it with wreaths and electric lights like a peppermint stick. Tonight iLhadJjeen raining and the lights wer<N reflected in pools of water all along the road. (It is said locally that after President X^incoln's assassination the lighthouse was painted black.) PRIZE DECORATIONS - First place in decorating contest at Parkland school last week, prior to the Christmas vacation, was the setting at top, designed by the Beta team. Second place, which was the imaginative effort of the Gamma team, is shown below. STAFF PHOTOS-WAYNE GAYLORD Here And There In Business WARN CHILDREN Caution your children about the dangers of skating on thin ice. A frigid dunking is the least a skater can expect if he breaks through the ice. The greatest danger when a skater falls into deep water is the possibility of sliding under the ice. This makes rescue close to impossible. Even if the skater manages to stay afloat in the hole, rescue efforts must be slow and careful to prevent the rescuers from breaking through the ice themselves. Teach your children to ob­ serve safe skating rules and to heed "unsafe for skating" signs. If children skate on home-farm ponds or streams, check the ice yourself before giving them permission. The best place to check is several feet from the shore. Mm RECOGNIZE LONG SERVICE -- Edward J.
