Like everything else these days, the YOUNG ARTIST Being parents of a kindergarten child is seldom a dull experience. For instance last week Patrick brought home his first painting from school. By now we have read enough books to realize you should carefully say to the child, "Explain it to me", so of course, this parent blurted out, "What is it?". He looked at the bright blue triangle with legs and said, "You know, Mom it's one of those round things that go up". It's been hanging on the kitchen wall for a week and by now we know that it could be a helicopter, space ship, rocket, airplane, flying saucer. .. but somehow I have a feeling that none of us has come up with what our youngest scholar had in mind when he took his brush in hand and began creating. NEW DAUGHTER Little Laura Anne Rodenkirch decided she'd like to be on the scene first hand to help her parents celebrate their first wedding anniversary and so instead of taking his wife out to dinner on Sunday evening, Sept. 8, Gerry Rodenkirch took her to the labor room of Woodstock Hospital and soon young Laura made her arrival. The 5 lb. 14 oz. baby is the daughter of Gerry and Anne Rodenkirch of 3125 Eastwood Drive, Wonder Lake. Maternal grandparents are Glenn and Eloise Elliott, McHenry and paternal grandparents are Hilary and Ann Rodenkirch, also of McHenry. The lucky young miss has three proud great grandmothers, Ann Rodenkirch and Ann Shalton of McHenry and Lillian Carlson of Evergreen Park. Laura Anne's mom is the former Anne Elliott of McHenry.

There isn't enough members in the Coast Guard auxiliary to do an efficient job on our lake. Joining the auxiliary would involve one meeting a month, one patrol a month during boating season, and a few classes. Membership in the Coast Guard auxiliary offers an opportunity to help your fellow boatmen, while improving your own boating skills. Auxiliary membership is open to men and women, at least 17 years old, who are United States citizens. Being an active member of an auxiliary flotilla puts you in direct touch with a group of fellow boaters who are dedicated to common sense and who want to improve boating and to make boating more enjoyable for everyone. You are welcome to attend our meeting as a guest and to meet auxiliary members as well as to find out what they are doing. For further information call June Novak at (815) 653- 6093 or E. Kaiser at (815) 653- 5046. An old, sad story It's a story we all hear too often. Someone gets hurt or sick and misses weeks of work. His income stops, but the bills don't. If he has disability in­ come insurance from Country Life, the story can have a happy end­ ing. Disability income in­ surance keeps a month­ ly check coming in when you can't get out to work. Before illness or in­ jury puts you out of work, talk to your Coun­ try Companies agent about disability income insurance. The Country Com­ panies. We're a little dif­ ferent than most insur­ ance people. Country Companies RICHMOND, ILI PH. 678-6691 service, says George Young, McHenry county Extension adviser. The workshops are designed for beginning tax practitioners who plan to prepare returns for other people. McHenry county students are invited to enroll* for the workshop to be held Oct. 14, 16 and 18 at the Farm Bureau auditorium in Woodstock. saysk Young. Classes start at 9 a m. and finish at 4 p.m. each day. There is an enrollment fee which covers the cost of materials and workbooks used in the workshops. Because attendance will be limited. Young advises interested persons to contact him as soon as possible for enrollment forms and complete information. Each year, more and more taxpayers are seeking the help of competent persons to prepare and file their federal and state income tax returns, observes Young. The Extension service has designed these workshops to help fill the need for trained practitioners. The three-day sessions will deal primarily with the preparation of federal farm income tax returns and state income tax returns, says Young. However, many of the income tax regulations that will be taught also apply to small- business and individual returns. Young emphasizes that the workshops are planned for persons who have had little or no experience in preparing income tax returns for others and who wish to become more competent. Among the subjects to be covered are: Introduction and acquaintance with federal tax forms; basic rules and regulations, and farm income, expenses and depreciation. On the third day of the workshops, students will prepare a typical income ta\ return. The workshops will be presented via the Cooperative Extension Service TeleNet system, says Young. This is a telephone network with two- way communication between several stations over the state. Students at each of the stations will be able to hear and talk with the workshop instructors on the telephone network. ASSIST FAMILY SERVICE-Accepting a check for $7,500 for the Family Service and Mental Health clinic is Mario Perez, Woodstock, president of the clinic board. Presenting the donation are Barbara Johnson and Trisha Sayler, McHenry, board members of the Women's auxiliary for the clinic. The money represents the efforts of the auxiliary in conducting a tag day and in sponsoring Fair Diddley, two annual projects. The money helps to defray counseling costs to McHenry county residents who are unable to pay for the service. Each of the TeleNet stations will also have a leader who will show and explain the visuals and personally help students with their questions and special problems. Each person attending a workshop will receive a specially prepared workbook containing copies of tax forms, problems, examples and helpful information. Teachers for the workshops will be University of Illinois Area Extension Advisers Donald L. Doerr and Emil C. Mosser and C. Allen Bock, Extension specialist in agricultural economics.
