McHenry County Welcome Sight reach of Chicago we breathe country air for perhaps a few years longer. IT IS IN COUNTIES LIKE McHENRY WHERE FARMS GROW FOOD THAT THE WEALTH OF OUR NATION LIES. The world today knows hunger as never before. Any decrease in the amount of agricultural land poses a danger now and later. You cannot grow food on mountains or deserts. The continual use of fine agricultural land for urban development is a real danger of our time. Crops do not do well on blacktop. By this time you must have sensed my bent toward Geology. One great impression made upon me by this trip is the great effect of different geologic forces in different parts of the continent. In the Middle West we think con­ stantly about glaciation, erosion and sedimentation. While these forces, particularly the last two, are at work in the west the primary geologic fact that constantly faces you is the effect of volcanoes and the results of earth movements which we call earthquakes. We were glad to see our home county again. I got out and took a picture. It is used with this article. Drive around our county some time and look it over. I have been in every nook and cranv of it in the last four years. The second highest spot in the state is in our county. There is in McHenry county a wonderful farm that specializes in growing herbs. There is the biggest railroad museum in the country here in Union. Yesterday a buck deer was in our neighbor's back yard. The Fox River runs the length of our county. There are lakes and resorts. We are glad to be home amongst you our neighbors. Thanks for going with us! 4-H NEWS Pastoral scene in McHenry county as viewed by Father William O. Hanner when he and his wife returned from a period of travel tjirough the West. (by Father Wm O. Hanner, rector emeritus, Holy Com­ forter church, Episcopal, Kenilworth). On Sunday, Sept. 29, we left Rapid City, S.D., heading east. For one of the very few times in the last forty years we missed church. We had been kept awake by the tumult around our motel which we had not chosen very wisely. It seemed sensible to get on the road. There is really not much to see as you head east along Route 90 in South Dakota. We stopped for the night at Mitchell. Route 90 unwound before us over hill and valley. The oc­ casional rest stops were rudimentary. We were mainly putting miles on our trip. Yet South Dakota has the Black Hills where the elevation rises to over 7200 feet. It was here that Coolidge issued his "I do not choose to run in 1928" statement. It is in South Dakota that Mount Rushmore rises. At Lead are gold mines. You can see where the town has caved in on old diggings and buildings stand at crazy angles. In the east, pheasant shooting is sport in the fall - if you like hunting. Monday we were in Min­ nesota crossing the southern tier of counties on Route 90. Minnesota has done less with Route 90 than any other state. You sort of chug along over narrow roads while enormous trucks whoosh by. I looked at a Minnesota license plate, 10,000 lakes; there are really over 15,000. Minnesota has a lot of water. As we went west at the start of our trip we were in northern Minnesota. Coming home we were in the south which is farming even as the north. We passed close to Rochester, and by night were bedded down in LaCrosse, Wis., in a comfortable and inex­ pensive motel. It beats all git out how motels work. There seems to be no reason. You get high prices and poor service some places and low prices and top notch service others. I like the little ones that families run. On Tuesday, Oct. 1, we drove south, stopping at Spring Green for lunch in a widely known and famous restaurant. Then on south into Illinois. We had been away from the home base for four weeks. Early in the afternoon we were back in McHenry county. This is the county where lie the rich farms and dairies of our state. Here is the area where the city reaches out to subdivide, not an unmixed blessing. Here are towns like McHenry, Woodstock, Har­ vard, Crystal Lake, Algonquin, Union and Marengo. Within LINCOLN CLOVERLEAVES The Lincoln Cloverleaves held their last meeting Nov. 11, at the James C. Bush elementary school. The meeting was called to order by Joy Vyduna at 7:30. It was achievement night for our 4-H- Her's. Nancy Preston was the M.C. for the night. She planned the whole meeting. Mary Goetschel led the club in the 4-H pledge and Kim Finbiner led the American pledge. Joy Vyduna and Lynn Mc- Whinnie played some songs on their flutes and they also led the club in a few 4-H songs for some entertainment. Judy Vyduna gave a demonstration on Aunt Lillie's custard pie. She went to the state fair and gave that demonstration. Kathy Besserud introduced our leaders for the year and thanked them for all of their services. Billy Lang gave a demonstration on golfing. Judy Vyduna and Nancy Preston played a song on the flute and oboe. Betty Lang gave a report on share-the-fun. Sheely Von Bruenchenhein gave a report on our window display. We got first place this year. Then Pat Frank, the assistant extension advisor, gave a report on the Extension services. She also passed out the state and county awards. Mr. Staveteig passed out pins and seals depending on the number of years members were in 4-H. We also learned Good Snacks Good snacks are essential for keeping children happy, develop­ ing good eating habits, providing daily food needs, maintaining normal weight and helping keep teeth healthy. to HOUDAY HAPPINESS,L. ~J$ A Nemt Kitchen KITCHENS ARE PART OF OUR BUSINESS . . . -AND WE SBi AT DISTRIBUTORS PRICES!

The second edition of the handbook was prepared under the direction of midwest agricultural engineers and animal scientists. It contains ideas and plans for the small flock owner as well as the large 3,000-to 6,000-head operator. Housing and equipment plans developed from the most recent PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER M. 1«V4 $145,000 Refunds Made To Price Fixing Victims research and technology and proven pieces of equipment are included. Young says a number of new sections have been added to the handbook. Planning, barn and lot layout (including slotted floor confinement units), waste management, feed handling and sheep handling equipment are some of the topics included to help make the sheepman's job a little easier. The handbook would be worth several times its cost to any sheep producer seriously considering a change / in liis sheep program, management system or housing and equipment, suggests ^Young. The 84-page, t\yo-color handbook is illustrated in enough detail to allow con­ tractors or sheepmen to work directly from the book. The Sheep Housing and Equipment Handbook it available at the McHenry County Cooperative Extension office, P.O. Box 431, Wood­ stock. Designate publication MWPS-3. Some 4,200 trains enter and leave Chicago, each day. that our club is an achievement club and why. We all handed in our project sheets and received our project money. Refreshments were served. Andrea Akins, Reporter Ban Smoking Some two hundred people recently petitioned the Illi­ nois Pollution Control Board to ban smoking in public rooms and on public trans­ portation. They demanded adoption of a nonsmokers' bill of rights. The right to clean air is a logical one; since smoke inhalation is now known to cause cancer and other dis­ eases, one can understand the concern of nonsmokers over air needlessly polluted by tobacco addicts. Appeals similar to the Illinois petition have failed in the past. This ambitious effort may also fail. But the day will come when non- smokers are no longer forced to breathe polluted, and un­ healthy air--so that others can risk health and life for their addiction. Illinois Attorney General William J. Scott announced this past week that refund checks totalling approximately $145,000 are in the mail to the State of Illinois, school districts, and other political subdivisions that filed claims as victims of price-fixing in a suit against six manufacturers of gypsum wallboard and related products. Attorney General Scott said the $145,000 involved in this initial installment represents about 40 percent of the total $325,000 to $350,000 which Illinois and its political sub­ divisions will receive in the settlement. First installment of the refunds for the State of Illinois will be $47,633.17, Scott said. The six companies that agreed to the settlement are United States Gypsum com­ pany (Chicago-based), National Gypsum company, Kaiser Gypsum Company. Inc., Flintkote, Celetex, Inc., and Georgia Pacific company. Illinois was the first state to file an anti-trust action against the six companies. Scott's suit, filed in l%8 in federal district court in California, charged the companies with price-fixing on gypsum wall boardXplaster, and lath during VM and 1967. Illinois Speciar Assistant Attorney General Lee A Freeman was named by the court to represent 35 other states and tmeir political subdivisions who had not filed their own suits against the gypsum companies. Total repayment to the fifty states and their political subdivisions will be about 10 percent of the $67,500,000 total settlement which will go to contractors, dealers, and private builders, as well as the public entities. cSfisciah ctcH tBij ^Pofiulxiz . . 2 COMPLETE DIMMERS Monday-Chicken Dinner Wednesday-Spaghetti With Glass of Wine Tuesday-Countiy Fried Steak J Thursday-Chop Sirloin With Mushroom Gravy DAILY LUNCHEON SPECIAL (Lunch Only) (Dinners & Lunch) Monday-Pasties (Family Recipe From The North Woods), FRIDAY. . .WE FEATURE A IAR6E SEAFOOD MENU CRAB LEGS-FROG LEGS-HADDOCK-FRESH LAKE PERCH- SNAPPER-DOVER SOLE-SHRfMP- LOBSTER TAILS "DON'T FORGET OUR POTATO PANCAKES" (SEAFOOD PLATTERS AVAILABLE IN JUNIOR & SENIOR SERVINGS) 6wy Frtfr S.
