Th' only farms that make a fine livin' these days are th' dairy farms, an' e'en they don't see th' profits they used ter. But I'm here, t' tell ye, that th farmer is lowest on th' totem- pole, far as profit's concerned. Few folks realize, wi'out th' farmer, be he th' little one, 'r th' large corporate farmer, we're lost. They're th' hub o' th' whole world, more important 'n anythin' else, th' very source o' substance t' maintain th' whole human race, an' now-a-days, a goodly portion o' th' animals, pets, 'n such. An' no one, 'ceptin' folks having' contact wi' a farmer, knows what a hard lot it is. City folk go to their \*brk, puttin' in many long hours, but they don't git outside, in middle o' January t' clean out th' barns, an' hog-pens, a loadin' truckful after truckful, an' comin' in at night, after a ten 'r twelve hour day, a smellin' t' high heaven. They don't git up every mornin' o' th' year t' feed th' stock, a carryin' heavy bags o' feed in weather twenty degrees an' more below zero, at times. They don't git paid vacations, o' two t' four weeks. If they kin git a neighbor, 'r mebbe a relative, t' work hours o'er time, t' take care o' th' chores, 'n such, they may git a week t' take a little trip. Th' farmers supply th' world wi' all th' food in th' world, an' we're a eatin' "High on th' hog," as the sayin' goes, these days. Most folks o' middle years, an' us elders c'n remember that we didn't have all th' fine fresh produce, an' we depended on canned vegetables an' th' ol'-fashioned winter carrots, cabbage, turnips, an' th' like, fer our winter vegetables. When I wuz twenty years old, we didn't have lettuce, an' good greens 130 Senior Citizens Enjoy Bowling Banquet the guest speaker for the evening.

There were about 130 in at­ tendance at the annual bowling banquet of the McHenry Senior Citizens club on Thursday evening, May 3, at the Timbers in Woodstock. After enjoying a most delicious dinner, Frank Giel, chairman of the bowling ac­ tivities for the McHenry Senior Citizens club, spoke briefly regarding the popularity and growth of the bowling teams, mentioning the fact that he now has three sessions weekly - Tuesday mornings, Tuesday afternoons, and Friday af­ ternoons. He complimented the members on their enthusiasm and the improvement of their bowling. Frank then introduced some of the club officers and guests, including the club's first president, Bert Welker, and his wife. Welker spoke highly regarding the progress of the club and its various activities. It was then time for the program and festivities for the evening to begin. Giel in­ troduced Mrs. Dolly Maz- zarella, director of the club's kitchen band. The band has been in recess since last Fall. With one practice session members played their first program of the new season. It was quite a lively group of selections and the audience entered into the spirit with hand-clapping, singing, and humming. At the conclusion of the band program, were given a rousing standing ovation. Following the Kitchen band was the club's square dancers, under the leadership of Mary and Alf Heggeland. It is always a treat to have the square dancers perform for the club members. The band and the dancers presented a most entertaining period of per­ formances, with one of the band pianists playing a waltz number with the audience dancing, and also playing "God Bless America with everyone singing. Giel urged the bowlers to continue on in the summer sessions, stating he would have room for more bowlers in each of the three sessions. He was given a "big hand" for his management and work in handling the bowling activities for the club. ****** ii MR. AND MRS.

Folks have so much these days, they don't ap­ preciate it. We had oranges in our Christmas stockin', an' it was only a few short years ago that we nad grapefruit t' enjoy as a daily item. We better take a good look, afore we put th' blame where it don't belong. Jist let a few farmers strike, an' see where ye're a gittin' off at. It's time fer people t' git down t' th' nitty-gritty, an' find out what's a makin' th' cost o' things so high. But, I'll also advise ye t' take a lode at all th' luxuries ye have, these days, that 're ac­ cepted as th' new standard o' ,livin', an' taken fer granted. Folks don't mind spendin' plenty fer th' extras, so's they c'n enjoy 'em durin' th' early years, 'stead o' waitin' an' savin' fer th' few things that make fer better livin', like their parents did. They want ever'thin' right now, an' ha' succeeded in gittin' wages, th' likes o' which we ne'er thought t' see. In proportion t' what we used t' consider a proper ratio b'tween profit an' production, ever'thin's far out o' line. I'm a wonderin' if folks realize that ever' time they git a raise in wages, they're a hurtin' th' economy. There's got t' be an end t' it, somewhere, an' we elders 're a hopin' that th' back o' th' country don't git broke afore it comes. Th' dollars ain't worth much any more.
