Something very special thru July 18! AT CRYSTAL POINT MALL CRYSTAL LAKE / Federal Payments To Wh0at yiFarmers Nearly Certain coin Unless there is an increase in wheat prices over the next four months, area wheat farm&s will receive federal payments this fall, according to Jim Lucas, county executive director of the McHenry County Agricultural Stabilization and Conaervation service. "Under the current wheat program, deficiency payments are to be made to producers if the National average market price for the first five months of the marketing year is less than the target price of $2.47 pa* bushel," Lucas explained. "The preliminary national average wheat prices for all farmers was $2 per bushel in June, compared with $2.19 in May. June is the first month of the 5-month period used to determine deficiency payments. So, the June price average offers an early in­ dicator that payments will be made to farmers this fall," Lucas said. "3$j&ause many wheat farmers are faced with serious economic problems due to low market prices, it is important that the provisions for this additional income source be reviewed for area wheat far­ mers. Also, Lucas said, "this is the first time such payments would be made to wheat far­ mers under the 1973 Farm act. , The deficiency payment rate is determined by subtracting from the $2.47 target price the higher of the June-October National average price or the National average loan rate. T'sing the national average wheat loan rate of $2.29 par bushel as an example, the deficiency payment would be 22 cents per bushel. "Deficiency payments to farmers are calculated by multiplying the ; farm'a established yield times the farm's allotment .acreage, and multiplying the result times the deficiency payment rate,'/ Lucas explained. For example, if a farmer has an established yield of 2S bushels pa- acre, a 200 acre allotment, and the deficiency payment rate is 22 cents per bushel, the farmer's deficiency payment would total $1,100 (25 x 200 x $0.22 equals $1,100). "All farmers having wheat allotments are automatically' eligible for deficiency payments, regardless of the disposition of their wheat. Whether the wheat has been sold, placed under loan with the Commodity Credit Corporation or is stored on or off the farm, does not have any bearing on a farmer's eligibility for the payment," Lucas said. Lucas added that, under farm program legislation currently being considered in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, deficiency payment is being continued. Wheat farmers who would like to have further information on the wheal deficiency payment provisions of the current program relative to their farm should contact the county ASCS office or an ASCS county committee member. by Gerry Johnson A Doctor Who Makes House Calls--At 90 TK GOOD WORD from the /Bible & It ia apparent that many today have forgotten or chooae to ignore the teachings of Christ asthty pertain to marriage. Many young adults consider marriage an unnecessvy in­ convenience. Why bother, they reaaon. Others marry, but con­ sider divorce the first step to be taken at the first sign of dif­ ficulty--or inconvenience. ; 'C Jesus spoke dearly: What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. Let us grant that there are times when mistakes are made, by the young and the foolish, and ,we cannot argue that these mistakes should not be corrected. But this is an entirely different situation from the individual who marries, quickly and casually, with knowledge that getting a dtyoroe is almost aa easy as buyingacar. - Marriage should be considered a contract for life; and no one enters into such a contract without careful and sound judgement.

Simpson of Ams­ terdam, New York, is much like other physicians: he makes hospital rounds in the morning and has office hours in the afternoon. But Dr. Simpson differs . from his fellow doctors in 'two ways: he makes house calls and he is 90 years old. After graduation from Albany Medical College in 1915, Dr. Simpson enlisted in the military and served as a doctor In France during World War I. When his tour of duty was over, he prac­ ticed medicine in New York City for five years before re­ turning to Amsterdam, where he was employed for the next 35 years as an in­ dustrial surgeon by a large corporation. "I've always liked to be busy, so after I retired I re­ turned to private practice," Dr. Simpson told a writer from The National Council on the Aging. Because he believes in paying -personal attention to his patients, Dr. Simp­ son's caseload is not as great as-that of many con­ temporary physicians. "I don't believe in seeing 40 patients a day," he said. "If a doctor sees that many ' patients in one day I don't see how he can do them much good. A doctor needs to spend time with an in­ dividual in order to help him." Making house calls is in keeping with Dr. Simpson's philosophy of medicine. "Nowadays, when people get sick they go to the emergency room of their local hospital and wait two or three hours before they see a doctor," he said. "The last thing a person with a temperature of 103 or 104 needs is to sit around in a drafty hospital where he can get pneumonia. A per­ son that is sick should be home in bed and the doctor should attend to him there. Overthe span of his more than 60 years of practicing medicine, Dr. Simpson has seen the development and implementation of many medical innovations which in their day were con­ sidered miracles and today are taken for granted. "I'd hate to be put on the spot and asked to name the one that's most important," Dr. Simpson said. "I do f$el that the present trend . In medicine is towards im­ munology. The recent swine flu program, even though it was controversial, i&a good case in point."

Corner of Crystal Lake Blacktop & Rt. 120, McHenry, III. He feels that the biggest change in medical care is over-specialization and con­ siders it one of the main causes of rising medical costs. "It's gotten to the point where a person has to go to a different doctor for each nostril," Dr. Simpson said wryly. "I remember the •days when I used to per­ form ai\ appendectomy for $10 and deliver a baby for $20. J "And my main concern was the health of my patients," he continued. "If a person couldn't pay for my services immediately, I still cared for them." Because of his commit­ ment to practicing medicine and the care of his patients, Dr. Simpson has no plans for retiring. "People need doctors and I like to keep busy," he said. "I told a colleague of mine that when he sees me slowing down he should tell me and 111 quit. That hasn't happened yet and the way I feel I think I'll be making house calls for quite a while." IKIUTItl-WIITIIID? There may be any number of house styles, but there are just two basic types of in­ sulation--blanket and loose- fill. "BLANKET" INSULATION: Pre-fabricated by manufac- v turer. Easier to install. Offers greater assurance of in-use performance. Blanket insulation is the type that has already been v prefsbricated and prepack­ aged by the manufacturer into the most popular R-values and thicknesses (R values stand for a material's ability to resist the passage of heat. The higher the Rvalue, the greater fits ability 40 tosist the flow of heat through walls and ceilings.) All you have to do is purchase the R-value you need. "LOOSE-FILL" INSULA­ TION: Mutt be carefully machine or hand-poured to achieve a given density or R-value. Can settle over period of years. Loose-fill insulation, how­ ever, is not conveniently prepackaged into specific R-values. Rather, it comes in the form of finely chopped particles, which must be care­ fully blown to a certain thick­ ness to achieve given R-value. Understanding ^Yourselfl^ By C. H. Tracy, M.D. Saving your skin may be a bigger job than you realize-- for your epidermis probably measures about 19 square feet and weighs more than seven pounds. You. have millions of nerve endings throughout your sldn, a portion no bigger than a postage stamp contains four yards of nerves and 25 nerve endings. That's why even small itches, bites, scrapes and burns can be so painful. To soothe such discomforts, many people apply a general antiseptic such as Campho- Phenique. Vital oil glands deep in the dermis insulate and lubricate your sldn. Surprisingly, parts of your body--the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet--have no oil glands. However oily your skin is, it's never too late to learn how to care for it properly-- and possibly save your skin. eeee It's positively surpris­ ing what some people will do in the expectation of monetary gain. eeee .
