FAIR CONTRIBUTION - Pomona Grange officials present a check for $4,152.50 to Jack Hayes, treasurer of the McHenry County Fair. Grange members from around McHenry county staff the gates at the fair and the work of the more than seventy people then is returned to the fair when the check for the services is received. The Grange members have been doing this vital service for the fair without cost for more than twenty years. From left are Jack Hayes, fair treasurer; Ray Fasse, Cary, Pomona Grange treasurer; and Herb Kemp, Woodstock, Pomona Grange master. The Pomona Grange is the county-wide organiiation of the six subordinate Granges in McHenry county. (DON PEASLEY PHOTOGRAPHY) For the twentieth year, members of the Pomona Grange in McHenry county have donated the money paid them for working at the McHenry County Fair back to the Fair association. Accepting the contribution of $4,152.50, Fair Association Treasurer Jack Hayes ex­ pressed appreciation to the Grange members for this dedicated support of the fair and for their work at the gates for more than two decades. Members of the Grange have provided ticket takers and ticket sellers at the gates for the fair. Herb Kemp, Master of the Pomona Grange, said it requires almost 100 people to provide that service during the five-day fair. In addition, Grange members staff a food tent featuring home cooked meals at the fair. Presenting ^the check to Hayes were Kemp and Ray Fasse, treasurer of the Pomona Grange. The Pomona Grange is composed of subordinate Granges in the county-Alden, Hebron, Harvard, Marengo, Ridgefield, Riley and Seneca. The Granges also provide trophies for exhibitors in recognition of individual achievement. Hayes was effusive in his praise of the Grange members' work at the fair, pointing out it is a vital service and one which would be most difficult to fill by hired personnel.

Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Mental Health Clinic staff. This article is "Coping with Death-The Grief of Mourning.") Grief is perhaps the most universal and easily un­ derstood reaction to the loss of a loved one. Grief in most ways is indistinguishable symp tomatically from a clinical depression. There are, however, two important dif­ ferences. First, it is a reaction to a specific incident, the death of someone we love. Depression is usually a reaction to a series of life experiences which the person is often unable to pin­ point. Second, mourning grief is basically a healthy reaction, a normal human reaction to the loss of a love object, rather than the debilitating, long lasting grief of the chronic depression. Symptomatically, mourning grief may include one or more of the following: Crying frequently, loss of appetite, sleep disturbance, loss of energy, a feeling that life is not worth living, headache, gastro intestinal disturbances, and a myriad of other physical complaints. Disturbing as the symptoms are to the mourner, it is important to remember they are time-limited symp­ toms, diminishing gradually, until they disappear com­ pletely. Usually if the deceased was particularly close, the symptoms of grief reappear at intervals, such as the an­ niversary of the death, or the emergence of an event or place that reminds one of the deceased person. Not only is grief a completely normal reaction to loss of a loved person, it is a necessary reaction. The absence of grief as a reaction to death may have, disasterous consequences to the survivor. Failure to grieve usually means that the person is internalizing painful emotion to the point where it appears that the death was not up­ setting. The painful emotion not expressed will always prove harmful physically and psychologically, sometimes for a very long period of time. Chronic depression is the usual and most debilitating con­ sequence of the failure to adequately deal with the grief of death. Thus, the person wtfc does not grieve is not ""hard" or "strong," or "taking the loss Processed meats and poul­ try are the most completely labeled foods. In fact, they are the only foods whose labels must be government approved before the manufac­ turer can use them. The ingredient statement on the label lists recipe ingre­ dients in the order of their amount in the product -- the largest first, the smallest last. In processed meats, meat is the main ingredient, so it is listed first. If just one kind of meat is listed, such as beef, that is the only mteat in the product. If there is a combin­ ation of meats, such as beef and pork, both will be named. These meats are just as whole­ some and nutritious as the fresh cuts you buy in the store. Variety meats like liver, tongue, heart or tripe must be individually named in the well." He is troubled, s o m e t i m e s d e e p l y . Professional help is usually indicated, and quickly; before the absence of grieving becomes firmly established in the psychological makeup of the survivor. Grief, openly expressed, and bitterly painful, is the healthy human reaction to the death of one we loved and admired. Next: Anger in mourning.

It is the only substance known to prevent botulism, the deadliest of all food poisonings. Without it, refrigerated canned hams arvd vacuum packaged bacon and cooked sausages could not be safely produced. Nitrite also helps give cured meats their special flavor and appearance and prevents a warmed-over taste. Some products also contain ascorbic acid, a form of vita* min C. This reduces the a mount of nitrite needed and stabilizes product color and flavor. Most product safety and wholesome ness are insured through continual monitoring of ingredients and processing methods by the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture ingredient statement. In addi­ tion, labels on products like hot dogs must state in large letters right next to the prod­ uct name that the recipe con­ tains variety meats. The same is true for those^ meats containing non-fat dried milk and cereal. These are added to some products to help hold the meat mixture togeth­ er and increase protein values. A small amount of water is needed to mix some processed meat ingredients. It must be listed as an ingredient on the label. Government regulation determines the amount of water that may be used. Salt in small quantities is added to meat products for flavor. Modern meat curing methods do not require a lot of salt to protect product freshness and safety. Other government ap­ proved flavorings include^ sugar -- in the form of dex­ trose, sucrose or corn syrup -- citric acid, hydrolized plant protein, monosodium gluta- mate and smoke flavoring. These also must be listed individually on the label. Government approved spices include allspice, nut­ meg, cinnamon, cloves, mus­ tard, pepper, sage and ginger. Each manufacturer uses a combination of these spices to achieve a distinctive taste.
