Route 120 McHenry, III. 385-2231 "New classes, new rules, new prices -new everything! That's the best way to describe the Home Economics department categories at -this year's McHenry County Fair, set for July 30 through Aug. 3," said Kathy Ainger, superintendent from Harvard. "This year we have new entry forms for all junior and senior open class Home Economics categories. Pink is the color and they will be available at the fair office on the fairgrounds later. Entries will be accepted between July 1 and 17. Exhibitors from the age of 8 years and up can compete in the senior open class com­ petition with no breakdown in age categories. The junior open show has been divided into two categories-8 years through 13 (not to be 14 by Jan. 1,1975) and 14 through 18 (not to be 19 by Jan. 1, 1975). > Home economics exhibitors on display of their pass will be allowed to use the highway department driveway to ap­ proach the building and unload exhibits during Wednesday's submission hours and Friday's flower submission hours. This year more emphasis is being placed on flower arranging with more categories available for creativity. Sewing and clothing classes have been updated to include such categories as double knits. Young Singers Perform For Senior Citizens "We have a whole new craft show lined up with everything from rug making to ecology boxes, from hand-made dolls to quilling and paper crafts." added Ainger. Display facilities will be different this year with more things being hung or separately displayed on shelves. In the food categories, smaller amounts will be displayed, allowing the exhibitor's family to enjoy more of the products with less waste. In addition, this year there will be demonstrations by professional and semi- professional artists showing such things as weaving, spinning, flower arranging, painting and other creative crafts. Class listings will be posted in various craft shops, art supply stores, camera shops, grocery stores and fabric shops around the county. If an exhibitor needs in­ formation on a specific category, he can send a self- addressed stamped envelope to Mrs. Kathy Ainger, 16801 State Line Road, Harvard, 111., 60033. She will send a copy of the gneral rules and a category listing for that particular department. "We hope to involve more people this year, encourage more entries and make this year's fair a more exciting event," exclaimed Ainger. will leave the McHenry State bank parking lot at 7:30 a.m. On May 15, a bus tour is slated for Holland, Mich., for the annual Holland Tulip festival.

Such councils would advise on the availability of transportation, health programs, legal advice, housing, meals, etc. Before applying for funds (already provided for), she said it is necessary to know the extent of interest. She was asked to report on the program by State Rep. Cal Skinner, Crystal Lake.

Young Singles Meet Sunday There is a group of young single adults between the age of 21 and 35 who meet each month to plan various activities for the month. These activities vary from social, cultural, in­ tellectual and spiritual. The Young Single Adults club of Crystal Lake was formed last year to promote friendship through these various ac­ tivities. In the past, the Young Singles have gone miniature golfing, bowling, roller skating, tobogganing, seen plays, held picnics, barbecues, parties, and visited places of interest.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Nutrition- Weaning" La Leche League Topics "Nutrition and Weaning" are the topics to be discussed at the La Leche League meetings held this month. The McHenry-East group, including Johnsburg and Fox Lake, will meet Wed­ nesday, April 9, at 8 p.m. The McHenry-West group, in­ cluding Wonder Lake and Ringwood, will meet April 17 at 8 p.m. The League's belief that human milk is the superior infant food leads quite easily to an interest in good nutrition for the pregnant or nursing mother and for her enire family. Some of the subjects to be discussed at this month's meetings will be reasons for delaying the in­ troduction of solid food to baby's diet, making your own baby food, some good ways to fortify foods at home, and the concept of baby-led weaning. The philosophy of La Leche League is "good mothering through breastfeeding." The nursing mothers of the League are always available to give moral support and practical help, through meetings, correspondence and telephone calls to other nursing mothers.

"Women Of All Ages" Is Dinner Theme The annual banquet of the American Association of University Women will be held Tuesday, April 8at 6p.m. at the John Evans Inn, Crystal Lake. The study group "Woman: Searching for Self", will give the dramatic presentation, "Women of All Ages". The presentation looks at women in literature from antiquity through the present to see if woman's role in literature has changed along with her role in society. Woman looks at herself critically over the ages and wonders why her image as a thinking constructive in­ dividual in society has been so long emerging. She also wonders what direction she will take with her changed status. She is no longer characterized as a passive being, but as a searching being. To reach this state the production moves through the following stages: The traditional image of woman: women 'challenging the image; women crying out surrounding communities to their April meeting this Sun­ day.
