Challenge And Promise Offered Fertilizer Leaders Fertilizer industry leaders were recently asked by a federal farm official to put forth a concerted effort to supply farmers with the plant nutrients required to meet crop production needs and maintain land fertility. Glenn A. Weir, associate administrator of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation service (ASCS), told fertilizer industry con ferees in Atlanta, Georgia, that "given opportunity and necessary inputs, the farmer has never failed to provide the needed food, feed and fiber supplies. And ample fertilizer supplies are a basic requirement for the farmer to get the job done." "I offer your industry a challenge and a promise today," Weir said. "Put your expertise and capability to work. Wipe out the estimated 1.7 million-ton fertilizer deficit for the coming year. Don't just supply the minimal increase of 1 million tons of nitrogen and 700,000 tons of phosphate needed, but add another 5 to 10 percent for the estimated requirements for the U.S. agricultural plant to maintain land fertility, meet production needs and keep American commodities and products available and competitive on world markets. "If domestic fertilizer needs can be met only by shaving back a little on exports, then I think the choice and obligation are plain. On our part, we promise to do everything within our power and responsibility to continue to see that your priorities receive full justification and con sideration." The longer one lives, the less importance he attaches to things-also less importance to importance. College To Offer Rapid Reading Course A three-session course designed for people who want to learn to read more rapidly and more effectively will be offered by the Office of Community Services and Continuing Education of McHenry County college. Each session will last two hours and will be offered on three consecutive Tuesday afternoons from 2 to 4 p.m. The course begins Nov. 3. In structor for the course will be Walter G. Gerth, of the college's individualized study laboratory. "The course is not remedial in nature - it is simply a course for those who can read at an average or above average rate and who want to increase that speed and also increase comprehension," said Gerth. According to Gerth, the latest learning techniques and a concentration on basic rapid reading principles enable participants to develop op- Initiate Law Suit Against John Fuhler At the regular board of trustees meeting, Oct. 25, there were two major issues discussed. The first was a law suit initiated by the village attorney on behalf of the village against John Fuhler for four different counts, namely 1) an incomplete foundation left open on Terrace Drive, 2) a large area excavated in unit number 5 and being used as a dump area within a residential area, 3) an excavated lot at the in tersection of Bonnie Brae and Suhrise View and 4) the deplorable condition allowed to exist on a vacant lot located at the corner of Stillhill and Hilltop Blvd. Toinitiate the suit, notice was*Sent by the village attorney of proceedings. Said notice was sent to a trust number at a local bank. The bank in turn notified the owner of that trust number and as it turned out Mr. Miller, a partner of the original sub- dividers, is the holder of the deeds for the properties in question. Mr. Miller appeared before the board of trustees to express his concern over the existing situation and ex plained that he, Mr. Miller, had sold to John Fuhler the property in McHenry Shores and had done so by selling it on contract. Mr. Miller explained that he was not aware of the complete situation and that he was very concerned about it and promised that Mr. Fuhler would take care of the existing problems within the next week. IDYL DELL BRIDGE The second major issue was the proposed Idyl Dell bridge over the Fox River. The McHenry County Highway Department has notified and delivered to the village board drawings and specifications for timum personal reading skills. The program also prepares the individual to further pursue efficiency and speed on an independent basis. The average increase in reading speed is 3.46 times the beginning rate, according to Gerth. Further information about the rapid reading course can be obtained by calling the college's Office of Community Services and Continuing Education. WI^TRANCiNFS OUTLET BOUTIQUE 140 W.

There are two different types of bridges each calling for a different type of program. Basically both bridges will be erected for four lanes with only two lanes being used at present. It will hook up to River Road on the east side of the river. Idyl Dell road will be reconstructed to 44 feet wide allowing for future four lane traffic. At present, Idyl Dell road would have two lanes of traffic and two lanes for shoulders. Curbs and storm sewers would also be installed. With the extention of Bull Valley Road to Route 31 there would be a direct road from the McHenry-Crystal Lake black top to the new Idyl Dell Bridge over the Fox river to River Road and on out to Route 120. One of these two programs would require the removing of four houses, two possibly three on the west side of the river and one on the east side of the river. The best possible picture (Hie could derive as to the starting date, taking all things into consideration, would be at least two years.Land would have to be secured, funds available and the cooperation of municipalities. Also proposed were two additional bridges being repairs or reconstruction to the old Rawson bridge and the McHenry Old bridge. These two bridges would come after the Idyl Dell bridge was completed. DOGS DISPOSED By virture of ordinance No. 11.1 the village has disposed of two great danes. The ordinance in essence requires that any dog captured and impounded for running at large must be redeemed by the owner within seven days by paying all licenses and other fees with the cost of keeping such animal or animals. Should no redemption be made of any animal or animals thus impounded, the village may cause all animals so unredeemed to be killed. The village has executed this authority and will not hesitate to do so again in the future. Every time an animal is not redeemed by its owner, the village then must pay the cost of keep and then the village has no choice but to dispose of the animal or animals. It is suggested that if you are a dog owner, secure the property dog tags from the village clerk and be sure that the dog is wearing its collar at all times. You may be missing a dog and later find out that the village had to dispose of it for lack of iden tification.
