A1 and Vi Weiss went to what they thought was going to be a quiet luncheon with their daughter, Jean, and her husband, Bill Maddock. When they pulled up in front of the Maddock's home in Ingelside, they realized a lot of secret planning had been going on. Jean and Bill and their children, Linda, Billy and Robert had surprised them by gathering over fifty relatives and friends to help them celebrate their golden wedding anniversary A1 and vi were married fifty years ago, also on June 18 at Vi's parents home in Cicero. Among the guests toasting the happy couple was their daughter, Donna, her husband, Robert Hamm, and their sons, Scott and Brian from Fox Lake.

Pollen in the air can trigger hay fever, certain foods can start hives. Possible allergens are countless - house dust, animal fur, feathers, c o s m e t i c s , b l e a c h e s , medicines, foods, pollen. Some people are even allergic to heat, or to cold, or to sunlight. And there is the classic case of the woman who was allergic to her husband. The American Medical association points out that the most common result of allergy are four illnesses - hay fever, asthma, skin rashes, and digestive disturbances. Hay fever is an inflammation of the eyes and nasal passages. Asth­ ma is a disease of the bronchial tubes of the lungs. Food allergies, a sensitivity to one or more foods, can affect the skin, the digestive tract or the respiratory fey stem. Skin allergies cause itching, sometimes rash. Reaction to an allergen varies with individuals. One person may be only slightly upset by eating an egg. Another could become violently ill from a small trace of egg in salad dressing. There still are many unknown factors about the reason someone suddenly becomes allergic to something. Allergic diseases are not usually fatal, but they can cause untold discomfort and suffering. Although worry and stress might be a contributing factor, allergy is not an imaginary illness. It is very - real to the sufferer. Sometimes the allergen is known and can be avoided. Sometimes many tests by a physician are required to arrive at the true cause. Medical care is necessary for relief of discomfort and for protection against future at­ tacks. Your doctor often can prescribe medications that will relieve the discomfort. And sometimes he can provide treatments that will desensitize you, so that the allergen no longer causes illness. d FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 30, 1927) Owing to the fact that the water pressure in the standpipe is very low all water patrons are requested not to use their hose or water sprinklers for three or four days by order of Mayor Peter Frett. With completion of work at Clinton and the opening of the section on Route No. 2 through what is known as Clinton gap, the longest state highway in Illinois is complete from the Wisconsin line, and connects with the state road system of Wisconsin at this point.

From this point it follows practically parallel to the Illinois Central railroad to Cairo taking the easy grades which played an important part in the construction of that railroad. State Highway 2 crosses a total of twenty-one counties in Illinois, or more than one-fifth of the total in the state. The finals in the A.H.

A SUN. 710 Berlin border last week was met with more than usual consternation and fear by a number of local residents who knew one of them, Fr. Bronislaus Sokolowski. Fr. Sokolowski has been director of Villa Maria camp at Pistakee Bay for five years, this part of his duties with Catholic Charities of Chicago. The young priest had gone to Spain to the Eucharistic Congress in May and from there went on to tour Europe.

County Farmers Asked To File Crop Acreage McHenry county farmers are asked to report the planted acreage of corn, wheat, barley, and grain sorghum to the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation service (ASCS). According to Jim Lucas, county executive director, McHenry county ASCS office, proposed farm legislation could call for the implementation of set-aside for 1978 crops. "The acreage to be set-aside as a condition of eligibility for program benefits may be based on a percentage of the acreage planted for harvest in 1977," Lucas said. Under proposed legislation, the reported acreage will not be used for purposes of establishing allotments. By obtaining the acreages, the secretary of agriculture will have a full range of options if the 1978 set-aside is necessary, Lucas explai.ed. "Crop acreages and the crop use must be reported on a field- by-field basis," Lucas said. McHenry county farmers will have until Aug. 5 to report corn, wheat, barley, and grain sorghum. Crops seeded last fall should be reported before harvest if possible. Farmers who have planted acreage in 1977-crop corn, w h e a t , b a r l e y , o r g r a i n sorghum, and fail to report such acreage may be ineligible for program benefits in 1978, Lucas said. He pointed out that random spot-checks will be m a d e t o a s s u r e a c c u r a t e reporting. The ASCS acreage report requirement is effective im­ mediately.
