Miss Sarah Brown is in charge of th Save-A-Soul mission near Times Square and she holds street-comer meetings in the same vicinity where Nathan Detroit and his cronies (Nicely-Nicely John­ son, Benny Southstreet, Rusty Charlie, Harry the Horse, Angie the Ox, etc.) hang out. Nathan is the operator of a gambling game that at the moment is temporarily homeless because Officer Brannigan is waging a cam­ paign on gambling in this neighborhood. Miss Adelaide, a night club singer, is tired of her fourteen-year engagement to Nathan and wants him to go legit and marry her. If Nathan can raise $1,000, he can get a place to hold his game and the town is full of anxious gamblers looking for action. He hits upon an idea. Sky Masterson is passing through town on his way to Havana and Nathan says that he can name a "doll" who will not go to Havana with Sky. Sky is sure of himself not only in gambling but particularly with women and takes the bet. Nathan names Miss Sarah! REP. SKINNER ASKS FOR CHANGE IN CONSTITUTION (Continued from page 1) assessments on vacant land. In 1969, vacant land in McHenry county was assessed at 27 percent of what it was worth, while home owners were assessed at 43 percent, ac­ cording to statistics developed by the State Department of Local Government Affairs. "It is possible that the quadrennial re-assessment since 1969 changed the assessment relationship bet­ ween vacant land and homes, but I doubt it. The 1969 statistics show that land owners are given more favorable treatment than home owners in about 90 percent of Illinois counties," he said. ACCIDENTS KILL INJURE (Continued from page 1) pole about midnight Sunday. The accident occurred near the intersection of Buhl and Behan roads, near Burton's Bridge. Ms. Ink was west-bound on Behan road and as her car entered a curve, it slid on loose gravel and went out of control. Officers noted that the auto left approximately 120 feet of skid marks before striking a steel pole, traveled another 15 feet and hit a telephone pole. Both drivers were ticketed as the result of an accident Thursday morning about 8 o'clock at 3103 Waterview, Riverdale subdivision, McHenry. Reina H. Guzman of that address was cited for improper backing. Driver of the other auto, Jeffrey A. Heiining of 264 Vista, Lake Zurich, was ticketed for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. Ms. Guzman was backing from her driveway when the collision occurred. Henning said he tried to stop but was unable to do so in time to avoid impact. Lois A. Puize of 1201 Gregory avenue, Wilmette, was ticketed Sunday for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident after she hit the rear of an auto driven by Maynard Johnson of 410 N. Santa Barbara road, McHenry. Johnson's auto was east- bound on Route 120 and was slowing to allow the car in front of him to make a turn onto Eastview avenue, Lakemoor, when his car was struck in the rear by the Puize auto.

ROAD DEATHS SET RECORDS (Continued from page 1) "We endorse the concept of the habitual offender. If a driver continually flaunts our safety laws, then he should lose his license. If he continues to drive when the court orders him not to, then he belongs in jail. "We insurance agents don't want to see the record reach 70,000 or 80,000 deaths before steps are taken. We believe the means to stop this are at hand, if we have the guts to use them. From The Farm IT'S A FACT Live cattle prices finally, after 21 years, climbed above the previous high established in 1951. Costs of ranchers and cattle feeders to produce beef have risen 125 percent during that same 21 years. Retail beef prices have risen 25 percent, and the beef is much better quality. The average con­ sumer's take-home pay check is 71 percent bigger than it was 21 years ago. Average per capita consumption of beef has nearly doubled - from 64 pounds per person in 1950 to 113 pounds in 1971. At least one-fifth of the average supermarket check­ out bill is for non-food items such as panty hose, detergent, mouth wash, hair spray, and hardware. PLANNING AHEAD Families should first determine what they want out of life. Is it money, 4and, position, travel, a beautiful home, or do they want a combination of part or all of these things? Unless you know what you want - unless you know your goals,- it is prac­ tically impossible to determine the price you are willing to pay to obtain the things you want or think you want.

Whatever you do, it is usually necessary to have a partner in the bank. If your banker is to do a good job in helping you ac­ complish your goals and ob­ jectives, he must know what you want to do, where you want to go and when and how you want to get there. With this type of forward planning, your banker should be in a position to help you get where you want to go and help you arrive on schedule. If you have a financial connection that only accepts or loans money when you don't need it and is unable to advise and counsel you on your long range plans, then it is time you looked for a new tour guide. Planning ahead means preparing cash flow sheets, budgets and projections - and even includes dreaming a little. MOLDY CORN Recent periods of warm weather have caused some stored corn to begin molding. And the prospects of warmer days ahead make additional* problems more likely. Corn stored at moisture contents above 15.5 percent may become a mold threat. And the wetter the corn, the more likely it is to cause trouble. Here are some suggestions to consider if your stored corn begins to mold or if conditions make molding probable: - If fuel is available, you may want to dry wet corn and return it to storage. For best fuel economy, wait until the outside air temperature is above freezing. - If your grain dealer is buying wet grain, you can sell him your problems. Consider moisture discounts and drying costs. It may or may not be to your advantage to dry the corn before you sell it. - If you feed livestock you may be able to grind the corn, place it in a silo and feed it. Aim for 25 percent moisture for best results. - If all else fails, you can blend the wet grain with dry corn to get an average moisture level of 15.5 or less. But this is a high-risk option. Use aeration of at least 1-10 cubic foot per minute per bushel to help the blend reach the target moisture content. You can reduce deterioration by using nighttime aeration. An airflow of 1-10 cfm per bushel will cool the grain to the outside temperature in 100 to 120 hours. Deterioration of corn at 20 percent or less moisture will be slow at temperatures of 40 degrees or cooler. The length of time you'll be able to hold the grain depends on the current amount of deterioration, corn moisture, foreign material present, and insect infestation. Rake or stir the top of corn bins to prevent the moisture migration from crusting and heating or rotting. SAVING CALVES You have too much invested in your cows to afford calf losses caused by carelessness. A few precautionary measures during calving can prevent unnecessary birth losses and spell profit later in the year. You can use these suggestions to lower calf death rates at birth and in the first few weeks after birth: - Put pregnant cows in an area where they can be checked easily. First-calf heifers usually have more difficulty than older cows and need close attention during calving. - Provide cows a clean, comfortable area during calving. -Contact your veterinarian^ promptly if the cow is having a calving probl^a. In a normal birth position, the calf s head is between and slightly above its front feet. -- Disinfect the newbprn calf's navel with a two-percent, iodine-tincture solution. - Be sure the cow permits the calf to nurse soon after birth. It's important that the calf receives the first milk, colostrum. . - Contact your veterinarian if your cows fail to properly clean within 12 to 18 hours after calving. - Watch for signs of mastitis or udder injury. You may have to milk out some of the cows for the first few days following calving. - Provide plenty of clean, fresh water for the cow herd. - Ear tag or tattoo calves and record the information on your calving record. And, record calving ease, abnormalities, colostrum availability, calf strength, calf birth weight, and cow temperament for future reference. --•* i food news & cues 6 from the Quaker Test Kitchens Cross-Stitch Cookies Win Raves ccj ab uaa c!3 •V THI OLD TIMER From John W. Hobbs, Dayton, KY: I remember trapping rabbits and fur bearing animals. When I was about ten years old I began trapping rabbits by snare and box trap for food. Money was very scarce so I decided to trap fur bearing animals, including skunks (commonly known as "pole cats") and to sell the fur for Christmas money. I was able to obtain a few traps. It rained the first night I had them set and my mother re­ marked it was a good night for skunks. Sure enough, one of the first traps I visited held a "pole cat." Never having caught one before I decided to get a little closer. Using his only defense, his scent, he let me have it right in the face. I got home, my moth­ er scrubbed me with strong lye soap and put me in clean clothes. I then walked the mile to school, which contained only one room. When I went in all the pupils held their noses. To top it off, the skunk pelt brought only 50c be­ cause it contained broad white stripes down its back. While this was an experience of more than sixty years ago, one never forgets an encounter with a "pole cat."
