Service News HERE AND THERE J^BUSINES ̂ Present Award In Land Bank Competition William L. Hahn, associate manager of the Federal Land Bank association of DeKalb- Woodstock, last week presented Carl W. Brooke, McHenry, with a $100 check for Brooke's success in having the closest estimate of the date and time when the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis would reach the milestone of becoming a billion dollar lender. Brooke received his award at the FLBA office in Woodstock. Hahn said the billion dollar milestone was reached at 9:56 a.m. Dec. 11 when a loan was made to a Morris, 111., farmer and recorded on the FLBA of St. Louis records. Brooke made his guess in August, 1973, in a contest held for members of the Woodstock association. "While it took fifty years for the St. Louis Land bank to reach $500 million of loans outstanding in Arkansas, Illinois and Missouri, the ad­ ditional one-half billion was added in less than seven years," Hahn said. He predicts that increasing amounts of capital in the form of credit will be used by farmers as they expand and modernize for efficient operations. So far this year, the Federal Land Bank association DeKalb-Woodstock has loane more than $7.7 million to farm and rural families in the seven counties served by the association. Hahn adds that the in­ creasing expansion of farmers' debts is offset by the increasing value of their assets, largely because of the appreciation of land prices and greatly in­ creased production. All men seem to get what they deserve, but only the successful admit it.

Parents of former students To save money 9 to remember. 1. Dial direct By dialing the number -yourself, instead of calling the Long Distance Operator, you can save significantly on station-to-station Long Distance calls. A 3-minute call to Miami during the day, for example, costs just $1.25 when dialed direct. If placed through an Operator, it could cost you $1:55 (station-to-station). Or even $2.65 (person-to- person). 2. Call after 5 weekdays. Long Distance rates drop considerably at 5 p.m. on weekdays. The7 same 3-minute direct-dialed call to Miami that cost you $1.25 during the day costs just 70? when placed after five. After 11 p.m., it costs even less. 3. Call on weekends. If you do your Long Distance dialing on Saturday, or Sunday up until 5 p.m., you get the lowest rate of all for a 3-minute call. Under the weekend rate, a station-to-station call to Miami costs just 65C when dialed direct. And overtime minutes are just 20 cents each so you could talk for even 10 minutes for just $2.05.

Million 74 Licenses Mailed From Springfield More than one million 1974 Illinois passenger auto licenses have been mailed from Springfield, Secretary of State Michael J. Howlett said this week. "This total includes all reassignments which were received by the Sept. 30 deadline," Howlett said. "We are also processing all other license mail orders received in Springfield." With the deadline for displaying 1974 plates extended until Feb. 15, heavy over-the- counter sales are expected at the Secretary of State's three facilities in Chicago and at the Secretary of State's office in Springfield. New license plates are also available at 291 banks throughout Illinois as well as 600 currency exchanges in the Chicago area. Close to two million 1973 licenses were sold at Illinois banks. More sales are expected with eighty-five new banks in the program. Howlett said currency ex­ changes sold approximately one-half million plates in 1973 and he anticipates increased sales this year because of added services the exchanges offer. In addition to license sales, which were started in 1932, the exchanges provide service for auto titles and process truck, trailer and motorcycle ap­ plications. "The Secretary of State's office expects to issue close to 4,750,000 passenger licenses for 1974," Howlett estimated. "All applications mailed to Springfield should be sent before Jan. 15 to guarantee arrival by Feb. 15."

Kendall Bird, Christmas Seal chairman. Bird, a Crystal Lake resident and former president of the TB group, said that nearly $37,000 had been contributed in the county so far, giving assurance that citizens in both counties would enable the DuPage- McHenry organization to reach its goal of last year's final figure of $167,000. Mobile unit x-rays, medical research and a "loan bank" of breathing machines for em­ physema patients are among the services of the TB association, along with For Your Information Dear Friends, Those who have lost a loved one usually do not care to take part in social activities. However a week, or so after the funeral most people try to participate in family social activities, guided by one's own feelings on what "he would have wanted." The bereaved tries to remember that his own state of mind affects those around him and aids or detracts from their ability to meet life's daily problems. Respectfully, PETER iVUUSTEN & SON IINERAL HOME Mchenry. Illinois 385-0063 providing sole support of the state and nationals lung associations Bird commented on the TB association's health education services, and pointed with pride at the forthcoming all day conference on smoking education for teachers to be held Jan. 21 at Woodstock Community high school. Local chapters of the Heart association and Cancer society, and the McHenry county school office, are cooperating in the venture and Dr. Luther Terry, former United States Surgeon General, will be the keynote speaker. Bird said that Robert P. Foresman, Woodstock physician, has recently been awarded a Christmas Seal scholarship for advanced studies in respiratory diseases at Case Western Reserve university in Cleveland, as a Christmas Seal contribution to professional education. "Seventy-six percent of all Christmas Seal doneti remain in the county for ldlfll program effort," Bird said. Stamp Collecting Stamp collecting is really a wonderful interest. Remember those hours you spent over a hot teakettle, steaming the stamps off envelopes? With Mom right be hind you steaming open POD'S letters? Fishing? The boss is mad today. It seems his wife asked him if he remer* bered all those trout he was fisft ing for last summer. He said "yes." And she said: "Well one cdf them called up here la^tr-niiB and left her number." J
