Large Stocks Apparent Trend In Wheat Market Economists at USDA ex­ pected that mnrp than 400 million bushels will be added to U.S. wheat carryover this June, bringing stocks at around 1.1 billion bushels, the largest ending carryover since the early 1960s. Although domestic use of the record-high 1976 crop now runs at about»year-earlier levels, U.S. wheat exports lag because of bumper 1976 crops in com­ peting and importing nations. Exports may attain 975 million bushels, 17 percent below last year, the lowest since 1971. The 1976 world wheat crop topped the previous year by 16 percent. Prospects for the 1977 winter wheat crop look good everywhere except in the United States. While large supplies and falling foreign demand pulled U.S. wheat prices to the lowest levels since 1972-73 last fall, heavy placements in loan programs, uncertain weather, a prospective reduction in 1977 plantings, and feed prices helped them back to an average $2.43 per bushel in mid- J«nuary Market prices may continue to rise seasonally, and farm prices for the season may average $2.75-$3.00 per bushel, compared to last year's $3.55. Wheat growers are eyeing alternative crops and weather. Plantings for winter wheat were down 3 percent. Spring wheat growers indicated they would cut plantings 16 percent. However, improved moisture and prices could cause larger plantings than indicated in the northern plains. In the plains, hard wheat producers appear to be shifting to barley, oats, oil crops, cotton and fallow. In the east, soft wheat growers are switching to corn and soybeans. Women Earn Last year, working women earned a median income of $6,957. compared with $12,152 for men. Since 1962, the number of women lawyers has more than tripled in this country, and the number of women physicians has increased two and a half times. Woman make up 40 per cent of the U.S. Labor force but hold only 19 per cent of the jobs in management. Governor James Thompson's plan to limit the state's military scholarship program is getting strong opposition from veterans who are students at McHenry County college. Students at MCC are cir­ culating petitions and writing letters to state officials in ef­ forts to keep the scholarships available to all veterans. Thompson has urged that the state-funded tuition benefits under the scholarship be eliminated for all but finan­ cially needy veterans. The local campaign is part of a larger drive going on across the state at state universities and community colleges. The Illinois Veterans congress, an organization of veterans coordinators from state colleges and universities, met recently at MCC to organize the campaign to keep the state paying tuition and fees for any veteran attending a state-supported college or community college. Howard Miller of Wonder Lake, MCC veterans' coor­ dinator and president of the vetrans congress, has sent letters to MCC students who are veterans, urging them to write to their legislators. Miller's letter warns the veterans that if they are apathetic and let the scholarship die, "it won't be the last of the benefits that will dwindle away." An MCC student who is a veteran, Thomas Beebe, also sent letters urging other students who are veterans to support the con­ tinuation of the scholarship program. "Thompson has gone 180- degrees in his stand on aid to veterans since his campaign position paper, in whieh he urged programs to make more veterans aware of the scholarship benefits," Miller charged. "Thompson wasn't the average run-of-the-mill politician, and his veterans' position paper attracted many veterans to vote for him. Then on Dec. 9, after Thompson had won the election, he said passage of the appropriation for the military scholarship would bankrupt the state' ", Miller said. "Now Thompson has asked the department of the budget to draw up a plan to put the military scholarship on a financial need basis similar to the Illinois State scholarship - with the idea that continuing the scholarship as it is will 'bankrupt the state'. "I have yet to hear him say bills introduced in the Illinois house to pay each legislator spurgeons DAILY 9-9 SAT. 9-6 SUN. 10-5 Save this week!

Apparently Thomp­ son believes only veterans' scholarships will do that,"* Miller said. Miller also said the veterans congress will lobby for passage of the $4.9 million appropriation which is pending in the legislature to fund the scholarship next year and to pay off a deficit from this spring. "While many veterans are eligible for federal help under the GI bill, those just getting out of the service would have a hard time getting started in school without the state scholarship because tuition must be paid long before GI bill funding can be processed," Miller said. "Under the state military scholarship, veterans don't have to pay the tuition because the college sends bills to the state. Loss of the state tuition money could also force veterans who are living on their GI bill funding to drop out of school. Tuition for a full-time student could eat up more than a month's GI bill funding for many veterans." Miller concluded by saying the veterans organization has Birthday Celebrants Surprised Two young folks were given surprise parties on * two separate occasions for their birthdays. Dave Eggert was surprised by his wife, Virgie, and thirty- two guests Feb. 25. Dave thought he was going home to work on their water pump, instead he went home to a fun time with many of their friends from Lakemoor. Then Saturday, Feb. 26, Nancy Eggert was surprised by many of her friends in one of the local places of business for her birthday. OUTREACH The Outreach program for made its postion clear to John Washburn, director of the Illinois Department ' of Veterans' Affairs, and has tried unsuccessfully to get a meeting with the governor. State Representative Lawrence DiPrima, Chicago, has agreed to sponsor legislation for continued funding of the scholarship as it is currently administered. blood pressure screening is now being listed in the community calendar column of the Plaindealer. Please make a note of the next date scheduled and make sure you go each and every month. In case a problem should arise, it can be taken care of immediately before it has a chance to become a serious and costly problem. There are absolutely no charges or expense to anyone coming out for this service, so why not take advantage of it? GOOD NEIGHBOR AWARD On one of the very cold days in February when Ruth Freeman, her daughter, Sue Thomas and her two children, Karen and Patty, went into McHenry to do some shopping they had the misfortune to have a motor fire. Just as Sue opened the hood of the car, a very quick thinking man pulled off his jacket and smothered the fire. During all the excitement a couple of Jewel employees took the children into the store and gave them some candy. Someone ran into Osco and came out with a (ire ex­ tinguisher. The young man who deserves the good neighbor award is Bruce Smith of McHenry. Who says that chivalry is dead. It is folks like Bruce Smith who make us realize that the whole world is not bad. RECUPERATING Virgie Noller is at home in Lakemoor now after un­ dergoing surgery in Grant hospital in Chicago. She was surprised with visits from many of her friends. She is recovering very' wfll and very happy to be home again. Virgie is the mother of Aria Van Cleave of Lilymoor. BIRTHDAYS Belated wishes to Louise Hipwell March 2.
