FARM VISIT A visit to a farm can include a wealth of learning experiences, especially through the eyes and ears and noses of five and six year old youngsters. On a bright and sunny Thursday, May 23, the kindergarten classes of Harrison School traveled to Richmond where they saw the "mini - farm" of their teacher, Mrs. Mavis Bagby, and the farm of her neighbor, George Zarnstorff. At the Zarnstorffs, they saw the barn and silo, calves, cows, tractors, the hay mow, corn bins and the milk bulk tank. The function of each was explained to the children by their teacher. After a short walk back to the Bagby place, which included the gathering of a big bouquet of golden dandelions for Mrs. Bagby, the children planted pumpkin seeds in the garden, which the kindergarten class of 1974-75 will come and pick for Halloween. Real live animals at the Bagby farm include a Guernsey cow, a mama pig and her ten little piglets, chickens, a mama sheep and her baby lamb, a dog, cats, rabbits and a calf. After a picnic lunch on the spacious lawn, Mrs. Bagby showed the children how she makes cottage cheese. For dessert, the kindergartners were given home made ice cream (chocolate and vanilla) in cones. Lincoln Koch drove the bus and mothers who accompanied the children were: Mrs. Joan Freund, Mrs. Jean Nicholson, Mrs. Dee Gallagher, Mrs. Sandy Bluemel, Mrs. Doris Scheppa, Mrs. Elaine Howard, Mrs. Rose Katzenberger, Mrs. Charlene Mroz, Mrs. Pam Matchen. Also helping to keep the kids in tow and out of the pigpen was one father, Clarence Hummel.

GIRL SCOUT TRIP Girl Scout Cadette Troop 420 of Wonder Lake planned and earned the money to go on a very worthwhile trip. We arned the money by collecting newspapers, having bake sales, selling Girl Scout cookies and selling calendars. We picked May 18, 1974 for our trip. It finally came and at 5 a.m. we loaded the bus and headed for Chicago. At O'Hare Airport we took a 707 to Detroit. From there we took a chartered bus to Henry Ford Museum. The Museum had things from the "olden days". It had about everything you could think of, from old fashioned cars to funny looking old fashioned washtubs. * One of the most fascinating things was that they had the biggest and smallest light bulbs ever made. After our tour of the Museum we went out into Greenfield Village. We picked a special day to go, they were having a "Yesteryear" carnival. We had fun riding on horse drawn carts, steam boats and an old steam train. The Village had old famous buildings from all over the country. Some of them you could go inside and learn about old times. Before we ate lunch at the Clinton Inn we watched a Yesteryear Parade. We had about four hours to walk through the village after lunch, taking lots of pictures and enjoying everything. Most of the girls couldn't part from the souvenier shop, but we finally headed back to the airport and took a 727 back to O'Hare Airport. On the plane we saw the sun set which was a beautiful sight. The bus back to Wonder Lake was quiet. It had been an enjoyable day and worth the work put into it. Submitted by Cadette Scouts Lori Harney and Julie Huff.

Wade, Democratic candidate for County Clerk, acknowledged this week that through an oversight, she failed to file her statement of Economic Interests ahead of the April 30 deadline. The filing was thirty-one days late. Ms Wade said a check of county records revealed that a number of other county candidates and incumbents of both political parties also did not comply with the April 30 deadline. She added that "the entire issue of an April 30 deadline is a technical one and does not seem worth a serious disruption of our nominating, electoral and governmental processes. I therefore plan to continue my candidacy for County Clerk. I will, however, abiche by any lawful decision rendered by public authority in this matter. I only maintain that neither I nor any other candidate or incumbent should be treated in a discriminatory manner". Ms. Wade had previously, filed the necessary statement last December when filing nominating petitions.

We have learned to count everything, except our blessings. the current State Rep. Cal Skinner 33rd district) progress is being made in virtually all of his areas of interest "except reforming RTA." Skinner reports that major initiatives of his Revenue subcommittee to liberalize the state's property tax relief program for senior citizens stand "an excellent chance of passage in the House. "My bill to lower the official level of real estate assessments in Illinois from 50 percent to 40 percent is also out of committee and awaiting passage." Skinner explained that progress is being made in educating the legislative and executive branches in the need for property tax reform. "The court case in Lake county over HERE AND THERE IN BUSINESS Bike Safety Is Promoted The McHenry State bank is promoting bicycle safety this equalization is helping in this regard," he pointed out. "RTA is the big disappointment," Skinner said. "The representatives from Chicago have a 'Go to Hell' attitude toward the suburbs. Now that they have our money, they are no longer even pretending that compromises that would guarantee us improved services should be considered. The one bill that may pass (the Katz bill) provides only the illusion of change and we deserve so much more than that that I probably won't even vote for it." summer for children in this area.
