BARRICADE REMOVED Once again we must remind parents to talk to their children about removing and destroying village property Friday. June 17. there was a bad electrical storm Rain was quite heavy and washed away a part of the shoulder of the road at May- street and Riverview The township was advised and a barricade was put up around the dangerous area until it could be repaired. The barricade was put up to avoid a car or bike sliding off into the creek at this spot Upon checking the area someone had removed the barricade and thrown it in the creek. It had to be reconstructed The area has now been repaired, but due to the thoughtlessness of some prankster someone could have been injured Culprits found damaging or removing village property will be severely reprimanded PISTAKEE TERRACE Mrs. Jo Ann Britt. association president for Pistakee Terrace, reports the new pier at their beach is getting plenty of use. Sun- bathers and fishermen alike are enjoying it. Next project is to get a basketball net for the teenagers This is what the teens want most in their park.

(Written under the auspices of Lieutenant Governor Dave O'Neal) Q The comapnv where I have worked for over thirty years has installed new equipment that is forcing me to retire at 53 years. Can I educate myself for another job at this age? A Yes. Community colleges now have a greater enrollment in the age group of 45 to 65 years. A recent study shows that more than three-fourths of adults in the United States are interested in further education. Technology is retiring workers at a higher rate than ever before. Thus. Americans have more leisure time, more years of retirement and as technology displaces millions of workers, American education must prepare our people, not for one but several jobs in their lifetime. Consider that many of us will live far longer than our forebearers. In 1900, the ex­ pected life span for a man was 48 years For a woman it was 57 years Today, those life spans have increased to 69 and 76 years respectively, and there are now 23 million people in America over the age of 65. By the year 2000. there will be nearly 31 million. Consider the decrease in the amount of time we spend working In 1900, the average United States work week was 62 hours. Now it is only 371 u. and. the 4 and 3 day workweek appears to be here to stay. A new philosophy of education should be one in which learning takes place not at one time, but over a lifetime on a full-time or part-time basis. Of course, such a policy must encompass full and equal educational opportunities for adults. To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw, "educatipnal opportunity is too good to waste only on children."

Issue Loan, Purchase Rates For 1977 Crops special lebrate County loan and purchase rates for 1977-crop wheat were issued June 13 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture <USDA>. The rates are based on the national loan rate for No. 1 grade wheat of $2.25 per bushel, unchanged from 1976, announced April 4. Loan rates vary from county to county primarily to reflect differences in transportation costs. The major changes from 1976 are these: -adjustments to reflect changes in production f^tjiems and prices received py far­ mers; -increases in /w^ffein / happy returns of the dtoy go to Mr. and Mrs. Ed Lehnfihn, 1401 Riverview. whose davits June 30.

The net effect of these rate adjustments is a reduction from 1976 levels of one cent per bushel in all major wheat producing states and three cents per bushel in all states east of the Mississippi, and in rkansas and Louisiana. Minor adjustments were made to individual county rates to retain past county-to-county loan relationships. ^ Copies of the 1977-cr6f£*rheat county loan rates will be sent to stafe offices of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation service (ASCS) and will also be available by writing to the Grains, Oilseeds, and Cotton division, USDA-ASCS.
