In the years that followed, cash replacedbarter; more recen­ tly credit replaced cash And now full circle around, barter is coming back -- sometimes direct sometimes disguised as credit. Some of the barter systems ore purely personal- a one-to- one trade between in­ dividuals. Farmer Bob Light of Plainfield Vt., barters milk for new dishes from the local potter fresh eggs for tiles. Actual cash value is not con­ sidered We just take into account the time and energy we spend as well as the money we ve put out. and decide a fair exchange on a personal basis he explained. One drawback: direct trades are limited to the goods and services produced by the trader Group swapping gets around that drawback with a central clearinghouse. One such club is the Useful Services Ex­ change whose members trade time with each other: so many hours of sewing is worth as many hours of housepain- ting for instance No money changes hands at oil. There s a Learning Exchange in the Chicago area, where professors and teachers offer tutoring in return for labor from their students. In Min­ neapolis there s a Business Owners Exchange whose members trade professional services as well as personal goods. Trades go as high as cars and boots--even apar­ tment buildings. The advan­ tage: you re getting a service with a certain retail value: but you're paying wholesale--just what it costs you to produce an item or service of similar retail value. The Internal Revenue Service has this to say about barter - you are suposed to declare in­ come realized in any form - money, goods or services. The IRS expects you to set a current market price on each item you trade. Whether you are interested in saving money...or -borroHing. >ou"ll find FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY most accommodating!

During the period of ripening, flavors are more evenly distributed and the cake becomes more moist After baking, wrap in a heavy alu­ minum foil or moisture-vapor- proof paper and store it in the refrigerator, freezer or a cool area of the house If stored in a freezer, fruit cake will keep fresh and flavorful for about a year. There is a program at McHenry County college which attracts welders, farmers, artists, auto mechanics, fac­ tory workers and do-it- yourselfers. The program is welding technology, a skill that is needed by people in a variety of disciplines as well as by people who want to make welding a career. At MCC persons learn enough welding to become a structural steel welder and build bridges and skyscrapers, or, if the skill is needed mainly as a sideline, a student can learn just enough to weld a tailpipe back on a car and make other repairs around the home. Ralph Fidler, coordinator of the welding program, explains that the college teaches several different kinds of welding to meet the needs of the students, including oxy-acetylene gas welding, arc welding, and mig and tig welding. This summer two beginning courses "Arc Welding I" and Oxy-acetylene gas welding, cutting and brazing fun­ damentals" will be offered from 7 to 10 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Next fall the college will introduce a new course "Basic Arc and Oxy-acetylene Welding" which will provide a general welding knowledge and safety training for hobbyists and others who want a basic course in both types of welding. Fidler explained there is often a waiting list for students who want to take welding courses-because enrollment is limited by the number of machines so that each person in the class has a machine to work with. The college has a variety of makes of machines ---------------------- < $ $ $ $ $ | FILL OUT AND MAIL OR BRING TO: | \0 . • • • J* J * | McHENRY PLAINDEALER | fl W #1 W W 9 SING-A-L0N6 WITH ART (SKAIfS) SKAU VARFSE Friday and Saturday Nites- McHENRY COUNTRY CLUB 820 N.

Fidler said welding requires a student to have good eyesight as well as the ability to work with his hands. "Welding requires manual manipulation. That's why I insist each student have a machine to work on. You don't learn by watching someone else and once you acquire the skill it takes con­ tinual practice to keep it," Fidler said. Fidler came to MCC in 1973 as an instructor of both welding and automotive technology. He said he is hopeful that in the future the college can offer a metal sculpture class com­ bining his skills with those of art instructors. Even now some artists have enrolled in welding courses to learn the techniques they need to sculpt in metal, he said. Students seeking a certificate in welding from the college also take courses in mathematics, blueprint reading and report writing. Registration is now under Way at MCC for summer welding classes. General registration for fall session will begin June 27. County Farmer Retains Butterfat Herd Crown The Robert Gerloff family dairy of Woodstock is the top butterfat herd in Illinois again this year on the official Dairy Herd Improvement testing program for 1976-77 announced Dave Plocher, McHenry County Extension adviser. The Gerloff dairy herd averaged 783 lbs., of butterfat per cow and 20,264 lbs., of milk, which is the second highest average in milk in Illinois this year. Gerloff's herd is one of 110 herds on the official production testing program in McHenry county and one of 1,450 herds in Illinois. These herds on test make up 34 percent of the dairy cows in 4he county and 31 percent in Illinois. Dairymen on official test in McHenry county increased milk production from an average of 13,616 lbs., of milk and 519 lbs., of butterfat in 1975- 76 to 14,795 lbs., of milk and 556 lbs., of butterfat in 76-77. They combined with other Illinois dairymen to show the greatest increase in milk production in bne year since official dairy Herd Im­ provement testing began. The increase equaled nearly 1,000 lbs., per cow per year, ex­ plained Plocher. Showing the benefit evidenced by dairymen on a production-testing program, Plocher stated that while dairymen on test in the county reached a production average of 14,795 lbs., of milk per cow per year, the average of all dairymen in the county is only 9,946 lbs., of milk per cow per year. Top herds in McHenry county will be recognized at the annual M c H e n r y - L a k e D . H . I . A . banquet Sept. 13, Plocher announced.
