Speed Reading Course Starts Jan. 29 In City A course in Speed Reading will be offered this semester by McHenry County college. The aim of the course will be to help individuals learn to read at top speed and to improve com­ prehension. The student will work on developing variation in both speed and techniques that will allow him to read a greater variety of materials. He will also gain practice in learning to recognize his own reading strengths and weaknesses. Also, he will work on improving the reading skills in which he is weak. Instructor for this course is Kathy Dick, who holds a Master's degree in reading education. She specialized in to the teaching of reading secondary students and adults and has had teaching ex­ perience in the fields of English and reading. She has also been an instructor at Northern Illinois university, teaching reading to college freshmen. The course will be offered by MCC at the East campus of McHenry high school Wed­ nesdays from 7 to 9 p.m. The ten-week course begins Jan. 29. Registration is now going on at McHenry County college in Crystal Lake. Registration will also be held the first night of classes. For further information, please call McHenry county college, Office of Community Services. Farm For A Day" Will Visit Shopping Center Cows, calves, beef animals and hogs are going to the city once "again, this time to the Yorktown Shopping center at Lombard as farmers in metropolitan Chicagoland team up to bring "Farm For A Day" to that major shopping area Feb. 1-2. Mike Ashby, executive secretary of the host DuPage County Farm Bureau, says the exhibit has a serious, as well as an entertainment, purpose. "We think people will enjoy seeing the dairy calves, the 200- pound hogs and the steers which are nearly ready for market because farm animals do generate interest. But we also want to inform our city friends about some of the factors involved in producing food-from costs that continue to climb as far as farmers are concerned, to the impact of last year's drouth and early freeze on food costs," he said. Ashby said it is a good sign toward improving com­ munication that city people are food conscious. Many have told farmers at earlier presen­ tations before large consumer groups - at Lakehurst* Shop­ ping Center in Waukegan and on the Civic Plaza in Chicago -- that they realize the farmer gets only 39 per cent of their food dollar, but they are puz­ zled over what causes the remaining 61 per cent cost. "Farm For A Day" in the city "is presented by the Con­ sumer Information committee composed of farmers and their wives from Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Kane, Lake and McHenry counties. Farmers from those counties will be present to talk with people, to answer questions and to distribute a specially prepared brochure, "Food for Today . . Challenge for All." Animals for the Yorktown Shopping center, a modern enclosed four-year-old shop­ ping hub located southeast of Wheaton on Highland Avenue, north of Butterfield road, will be provided by the Naperville Future Farmers of America chapter. Among farmers who will be present for the two-day presentation are Bernard Modaff, president of the Du Page County Farm Bureau, Congressman Reminds Of End To Amnesty Program Congressman John B. An­ derson <R-Ill.) has issued a reminder that under President Ford's clemency program, the deadline for applications to the Presidential Clemency board is Friday, Jan. 31. Anderson, chairman of the House Republican conference, said that "because most of the program's publicity has cen­ tered on deserters and draft evaders, it may not be well known that it also applies to servicemen who have less than honorable discharges." "A serviceman with a punitive discharge for an ab­ sence-related offense or a civilian who has already been punished for violation of the draft can have his case reviewed by the Clemency board." Anderson, third- ranking House Republican, added. Anderson said that anyone in such a position who wishes a review should contact the Clemency board, which is located in the White House, Washington, D C. 20050. A period of alternative service up to twenty-four months may be required from those par­ ticipating in the program. Anderson urged anyone who desires further information about any aspect of this program to contact his office at 401 W. State street in Rockford before Jan. 31. The telephone number is (815 ) 962-8807. The scope of a man's irfind is accurately indicated by the type of honor that he cherishes. and George Glasshagel, vice- president. Roger Webb, hog breeder, Itasca, who is providing the hogs, has told Ashby he will be on hand for much of the time, too. 17-year-olds Now Eligible To Donate Blood Under a new state regulation, signed into law by Gov. Dan Walker Dec. 30, approximately 225,000 Illinois 17-yeaivolds are now eligible to donate blood. The previous minimum age for blood donors was 18 years of age. Dr. Joyce Lashof, director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, explained that, according to census estimates, there are 6,324,000 persons in Illinois between the ages of 18 and 66. "By adding 225,000 17- year-olds. to this pool of potential blood donors," she said, "the Governor has created a cushion of potential donors to replace those who, within the next few years, will exceed the eligible age or fail to -meet the medical requirements." To meet the medical requirements, blood donors must be in general good health and must never have had hepatitis. Dr. Lashof said that any 17- year-^)ld who wishes to donate blood should contact his or her local blood donor facility to register as an available donor.
