« ussier Trip In Review PAG E 7-PLAINDEALER-WEDNE SDAY, JANUARY 24, 1973 :.-V v.. Of: $ (The following is the second in a series of articles containing impressions of Mrs. William Vaughan, the former Barbara Eggert of McHenry, on her recent trip to Russia. Mrs. Vaughan and her husband, Dr. William Vaughan, made the trip so that he might attend a conference on bio-chemistry. They reside in Berkeley, Califs BUDAPEST "After leaving Holland, our flight on Tuesday, July 27, had a stopover in Frankfurt so we snooped through the duty free shops there. I bought two little German wooden toys to be used as Christmas tree ornaments. "We arrived in Budapest about 8 p.m. It was dark and our first impression was anything but favorable. The airport was stark and rather horrid. Our hotel, the Royal, was in the center of things but old, clean and trying very hard to be modern. The dining room was an oasis, however. We fell in love with the Hungarian gypsy music. Our first night we had about a three-hour dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the music. Our guide was named Lisa, an older woman and very charming. ^Budapest at one time was cities divided by the Tanube river - Buda the hillv side and Pest, the flat THREE DIE IN TWO WEEKEND ACCIDENTS (Continued from psge 1) ; Ms. Frett of 1507 N. Court) street, McHenry, was cited fop failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. Dottie Nelsen of 717 East Boulevard, McHenry, was cited for failure to yield right of way following a car-truck accident Thursday morning about 11:30. The mishap took place at the intersection of Route 120 and Hollywood avenue, Lakemoor. Driver of the truck, Harry L. Granthan of ^ Route 1. Wauconda, was east-bound on the highway when the Nelsen auto pulled onto the roadway into his lane of traffic. He applied his brakes but was unable to avoid the collision. Ms. Nelsen told officers she had stopped at the intersection and noticed no approaching traffic prior to impact. VIEW OF THE DANUBE side. We stayed on the Pest side which is really the main hub of the city. "We found the architecture of the city depressing. Apparently the raw materials available are of low quality and do not stand up to time. Almost every building is being repaired or should be. Money is probably scarce. The oldest building is about 130 years old and looks horrid. "Budapest was severely damaged by bombs during WW II, about 80 percent was totally destroyed. It is hard for us to comprehend and the Hungarians must be given "A" for effort. The country is about 80 per cent Catholic and 20 per cent other religions. "After lunch we walked down to the Danube and discovered a Hungarian phenomenon. We noticed that people seemed to be attracted to a store window so we looked too. People were gathered aroung a shoe store just looking. They were drawn like flies. This happened at every shoe store window we passed even though the shoes left much to be desired. They were poorly made and quite expensive. Consumer goods are scarce, expensive and many times poorly made but still better than what I saw in shops in the USSR. "The Hungarians have the choice of Russian, German (VW) French or Italian little cars. Even though the Russian cars are cheaper, the other cars are in greater demand. They joke about the Russian cars as being plastic Jaguars. "Hungary has greater access to the Western World. For example, coca cola is big there where nothing even close is in the USSR. "I felt the Hungarians were as a whole, quite nice and willing to try to find a common language erf communication. German is frequently the second language spoken. But I found one annoying habit and that was their great knack of crowding one out of line. They do it with such finesse I didn't even realize what was hap­ pening until I was crowded out. And if I did realize it, I couldn't do a thing to stop it. It is a well learned art. "We really enjoyed the music and dance of the Hungarian people. One evening we, at­ tended a "Young Communist League" program of gypsy WOMAN PAINTING dance and music where the average age of the performers was 17. They were super professional. The costumes were fantastic, the dancing extraordinary, the solo violinist was fantastic as was the solo cymbal player. The cymbal is an instrument played much like a xylophone but sounding like a harpsichord in a box like a small, low piano. Violins and cymbals are very popular in Hungary. "Thursday we took an all day outing to Egar by bus. Egar is the wine producing area two hours from Budapest. We toured the city, had a huge lunch at a quaint hotel and then went to a wine tasting in a limestone aging cellar. We tasted four wines - a riesling, a white called lovely girl of Egar, a red called bull's blood and a sweet muscatel. To us the wines were not as good as California wines. "While shopping, I found a whimsical bell in pottery for McHENRY HOSPITAL Patients admitted to McHenry hospital included James Matriscinano, Paul Raasch, Robert King, Homer Douglass, Jacob Winters, Kenneth Hullberg, Donald Donner, Jr., Mary Ellen Johnson, Catherine Doherty, Jacqueline Loss, Diane Bar- nings, Kent Borowski, John Hester, Robert McCauley, Betty Lou Beno, Lorene Farr, Joseph Sutton, Mayda Shigley, Grace Hedeman, John Erzig, McHenry; Helen Leaveck, Gladys Shackleford, Adolph Syngator, Lorraine Murphy, Wonder Lake.

Our gifts for the kids were a lovely red em- broidred vest and dress for Laura and a goat skin flask miniature and shirt for Brian. I found a wood carving that reminded me of the man who showed us Egar and an em­ broidered square that I framed. Embroidery, especially multi­ colored flowers, and wood carving are the distinguishing arts of the people. "One of the redeeming points of the flats and apartments in Budapest is that they have rather nice court yards in back. Another redeeming factor of the country is Margaret's Island which is an island in the middle of the Danube con­ nected to the city by a bridge. It is a beautiful park with great swimming pool and other recreation facilities. "One evening we attended a "Goulash Party", a tourist attraction. We had always considered goulash a thick stew. Instead, we were served a soup with large chunks of meat and a thin broth. We also had much wine, sausage, cheese, bread and paprikas which are like hot peppers and eaten whole. "Later there was folk dan­ cing music and audience participation games. I was chosen to be in one. Horrors! Six people from various con- tries were chosen to sit on the stage and given a Pepsi bottle to drink from with a nipple on top. However, the bottle was full of red wine! The German next to me won but I was assured that I was no more than two seconds behind him. I won second prize, the nicer of the two prizes. I got a large heart shaped cookie beautifully frosted and decorated with flowers and trims and a little mirror on the bottom all nicely wrapped in celophane. "Life cannot hold many promises for the people of Hungary but I may be wrong. Many do go to college and they prize that. Rent and utilities are cheap and there is very little to spend money on so many buy television sets and pianos we were told. "Mothers work until two months before their children are born and then get three years off before they are ex­ pected to return to work. Families usually consist of two or three children. "But the Hungarians im­ pressed me as cheerful, af­ fectionate and full of life. In the back of my mind was the revolt in 1956. Perhaps this uprising has made life a little easier for these people and it fulfilled some sort of purpose -- I'm only speculating. I wish them happiness. "Before leaving Budapest we had to visit the open air market. Nothing gets wrapped and everyone brings their own bags. We also sampled a good helping of Hungarian pastry. The majority of food we had in Hungary was bountiful and filling. Dinner always started with an appetizer and soup and plenty of bread. The main From TJni Farm Portable heat lamps are used often around the farm in the winter to warm crankcases, water and young animals. The bulbs come in various sizes and in white or hard glass (red). The red bulbs are, more ex­ pensive but are also safer because they will withstand water splashes when hot. Don't hang heat laps by their electric cord. Support the bulbs with a chain or clamp device. RABBITS AND TREES Rabbits can severely damage young fruit trees and plants during the winter months by chewing the bark from the tree trunk or by nipping off buds and branches. Wire guards or fencing can be used to keep rabbits away, or you can wrap the tree trunks with burlap or heavy water­ proof paper. The burlap and paper should be removed in the spring. Another alternative is to use a form of rabbit spray repellent containing thiram. PROLONG PLANT LIFE You can prolong the blooming period of your potted plants by paying careful at­ tention to water, light and temperature conditions. When the soil in the pot feels dry, apply enough water to create a little extra water in the pan under the pot. After about one- half hour, pour off the extra water to prevent waterlogging the soil. Plants should be located near windows, but not in direct sunlight, to help them grow. Proper temperature control can stretch the life of potted plants by 25 percent. Move your plants to a cooler room in the course was always served by the waiter carrying a large tray with fried potatoes, vegetable, meat with sauce on top and often rice. There was usually a salad then dessert and coffee or tea. Coffee was very strong and served in tiny cups. "Now on to Kiev, USSR." evening then back to the living or dining room each day. TOLL ON PROFITS Pork production costs have been caught by the current gains in the corn and soybean markets. And the result is a 33 percent rise in feed cost per 100 pounds of pork produced. Illinois Farm Business Farm Management (FBFM) records show that well-managed farms used 343 pounds of farm grains and 81 pounds,of commercial feeds, mostly protein sup­ plements, to produce 100 pounds of pork in 1971. Feed costs used in the study "were SI 28 per bushel for corn and $6.49 per hundredweight for commercial feeds. The resulting feed cost was $13.08 per 100 pounds of pork at a ration cost of three cents per pound of feed. But now the feed costs must be calculated with $1.50 per bushel corn and $10.00 per hundredweight protein sup­ plement. This raises the current cost per 100 pounds of pork to $17.29, or four cents per pound of feed. A recent cost study of high- volume swine farms with modern confinement buildings and equipment shows a total non-feed cost of $7.33 per 100 pounds of pork produced. The study, made by specialists in the U. of I. Department of Agricultural Economics, in­ cludes buildings, machinery and equipment, labor, in­ surance, taxes, interest and other miscellaneous expenses. Adding the estimated feed and non-feed costs gives a total cost, or necessary break-even price, of $24.62 per 100 pounds of pork produced. Feed and labor, the two biggest cost items, may be even higher on farms with less efficiency. People who work hard seem to find it very difficult to keep ahead of those who do little, or no work. * * • * An educated man can ar­ gue without losing his tem­ per and without resorting to abusive language.
