MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' back those thirty-seven pounds of lost blubber And so goes the Battle of the Bulge as it has always gone on, ad infinitum, almost everywhere fat accumulates in this big world KAF MOTHER, TWO CHILDREN HURT IN CRASH (Continued from page 1) when an unknown vehicle came out of the driveway at the J & L Gas station, driving into his path He added that he swerved to the left to avoid a crash, but slid on the wet pavement, going off the road shoulder and hitting a tree head-on. A similar occurrence sent Scott D.. Cedergren at 3705 ,W. St Paul street, McHenry, to the hospital Saturday afternoon. Like Marshall, Cedergren was injured while trying to avoid a vehicle in his lane of traffic. Besides the damage to his van, the accident also damaged fifty feet of wire fencing and a mailbox belonging to Larry Nelson of Crystal Lake. The accident occurred at 3:30 p.m. on Wright road. i Cedergren stated that he was westbound on Wright road and saw an oncoming vehicle in his lane of traffic. He added that he left the roadway in an effort to avoid a collision, rolling the van over and striking the fence. Still another area driver was injured in a weekend crash, with Patrick M. Curran of 4518 E. Lake Shore drive in Wonder Lake, and a passenger in his car, William R Seeber, 3115 Shady drive, Wonder Lake, both requiring medical at­ tention following a one-vehicle accident on E. Wonder Lake road. Curran told police he was southbound on E. Wonder Lake road, and pased a slower moving auto. He added that as he pulled back into his lane of traffic, his car went out of control, going off the road shoulder and rolling over several times. As in the case with all the accidents involving injuries, no tickets were issued. More fortunate than the others was Brenda J. Miller of 3305 S. Wright road, McHenry. She escaped injury Thursday afternoon when an unknown vehicle ran into the front of her auto while she was waiting to turn left onto Rt. 176 from Valley View road. .Unfortunately, the driver of , {Uie? offending vehicle i§ not' known at this tim** Ms. Miller told police she was stopped, northbound, on Valley View road, waiting for a break in traffic when the offending driver made a left turn from Rt. 176onto Valley View and hit her auto with the driver's door. The other driver fled the scene. Ms. Miller's car sustained more than $100 damage. The apparent inability to keep his car on his side of the center line resulted in a two- vehicle collision early Sunday morning, and a ticket for im­ proper lane usage for David L. Peterson of Mukwonago, Wis. Peterson was cited after his car collided with a van driven by Jeffery S. Bierman on Rt. 31, just south of Rt. 12. Peterson was slightly injured in the crash, which caused an estimated $1,000 damage to each vehicle. Bierman told police he was southbound on Rt. 31 at bet­ ween 45-50 mph when the Peterson car came across the center line. He added that he attempted to maneuver out of the way, but contact was made. Also ticketed over the weekend was Edward J. Bleeker of 321 Croydon road. Spring Grove. He was cited after his car struck a mailbox belonging to John G. Meehan of 1004 W. Ringwood road. The accident occurred Friday night at 9:10 p.m. Bleeker told police he was eastbound on Ringwood road and as he came over a hill, he observed another vehicle stopped in his lane. He further stated that he tried to stop, but began skidding out of control, hitting the mailbox. Finally, there were two accidents, one late Saturday night and* the othei4 early Sunday morning, in which no tickets were issued and no one was injured, but property was damaged. The first occurred at 11:45 p.m. Saturday, at which time a car driven by Norbert C. Lee of 3705 W. James street in McHenry, swerved to avoid a small animal on Black Par­ tridge road, but, in so doing, hit a telephone pole. The second involved Michael W. Dermant of 8515 Burton in Wonder Lake. His car sustained more than $200 damage when his brakes failed at a T' intersection, and he drove through the cross road, FARM BUREAU: PRESERVE GOOD LAND (Continued from page 1) Also, said the resolution, "we believe this is the best way to assure adequate financing for the education and training of our young people." ^ On an organizational matter, McHenry County Farm Bureau members enthusiastically endorsed continuation of the Illinois Farm Sports festival as a worthwhile recreational event with county, district and state competition. "We believe the Sports festival program does develop an opportunity for relaxation, for recreation and a chance to become better acquainted with farm people both within McHenry county and from neighboring counties," states the resolution. "It is a way to reach many people with some of the achievements and aspirations of Farm Burea." McHenry county farmers expressed concern about federal government in­ tervention in agricultural policy and re-stated long standing Farm Burea policy about the free market system-- the market place as the determinant of prices rather than the federal government through administered agricultural programs. "We are fearful that price supports become price ceilings, that acreage planting restrictions cause intensified farming on remaining far­ mland-and that the depression- like atmosphere that is in evidence in rural America will grow worse." Participants also voted for maintaining any grain reserve in farmer hands under farmer control, not the federal government control as was the case when this nation had a surplus of feed grains over most of the past thirty years. Don Luerssen, Alden farmer who is McHenry County Farm Burea president, reviewed the past year's activities as one that involved progress on issues that were local, state and national in nature. Main state issue that occupied farmer attention was the effort to generate major tax reforms legislation. "Farm Burea had a major role in the successful passage of the farmland valuation bill, and members in McHenry county participated through letters, personal Qopt^cts with legislators and close observations oh the' progress of the bill," he said. "Among major local steps was the decision in February by the County Farm Bureau striking a parked car and causing yard damage. The parked car was owned by Wayne Tomasek of Stream- wood, and it sustained more than $200 damage as a result of being struck. Dermant told police he was westbound on Coral street at about 20 mph, when his brakes failed. His car slid across Thompson road and hit the car which was parked in the driveway.

Farm Bureau manager, pointed out steady growth in membership to an all-time high of 5.310. an in­ crease of 858 for the mem­ bership year. Adding the new high includes an increase in farmer members, Harris asserted: "Farm Bureau's concern in such matters as zoning, land use. and climbing taxes on real estate makes more aware that Farm Bures leadership, stand-up-; counted organization respected . because decisions are reached deliberately after much thought and discussion." McHenry County Farm Bureau ranked fourth in the state among ninety-seven county Farm Bureaus in percentage of membership growth during the membership year-119.3 percent.

Such voters may make application on federal government post car form !IIWORKWTSE"~] QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 1. I work for a company that is cheating me out of my salary. Each day we clock in and out by writing down the times we enter and leave work on a time card. Once a week we write the total hours we worked. Last week, I worked 54 hours and only got paid for 40. Not only didn't I get paid my regular hourly rate for those extra 14 hours, but my earned overtime was completely forgotten too. When I told the boss, he produced my signed time card, which somebody had altered - erasing the 54 hour total I had written and putting a 40 hour total in its palce. That card was the only proof I had of the time I worked. What can I do? The Illinois Department of Labor, Labor Law enforcement division, handles cases such as "yours.

National Study Calls For More Youth Leaders Nearly six million youth participate in 4-H nationally. But there are about forty-five million youth in the United States between the ages of 8 and 19. Enrollment figures show that only one out of three of these young people now belong or have belonged to any voluntary youth organizaiton, says M.E. Rapking, University of Illinois assistant Extension director. "Today's youth are in­ terested in a dynamic, ever- moving program," says Rapking. "And I see the 4-H program as one youth organization that meets that description. In addition, 4-H compliments our formal educational system. Four-H helps youth develop skills of finding information to deal with today's problems, and in making tomorrow's decisions." In a recently completed study titled "4-H in Century III," conducted by the national Extension committee on Organization and Policy, the number one recommendation for helping more youth become involved in youth organizations-4-H in par­ ticular-was the doubling of the number of volunteer leaders during the next decade. What does it take to be a 4-H volunteer? "A willingness to helf> youth, and time," says Rapking. Volunteers in the 4-H program teach skills, share experiences and ideas and organize programs and ac­ tivities for youth in their local community or neighborhood. A recent study in Michigan showed that the average adult volunteer leader spends 324 hours per year on 4-H efforts. "That figure is not meant to scare off volunteers," says Rapking, "but to point out the extreme dedication of 4-H volunteers to helping youth grow and mature." Considering the potential membership and the need for more volunteers, the study also recommends expanding the leadership roles of present volunteers and recruiting more high school and college students to work with younger youth. One of the keys to the success of the volunteer leader in the 4- H program, Rapking says, is the extension of subject matter resources of the state land- grant university~in Illinois, the University of Illinois. The U of I provides up-to-date information and teaching methods in several other areas. Volunteers are recognized as staff members of the land- grant college or university, while county staff serve as a link between university resources and local volunteers. Make Farmers Aware Of Grain Purchase Option The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has issued a reminder to feed grain producers concerning the use of purchase agreements as marketing options. For far­ mers who failed to obtain a loan on their feed grains during the loan availability period, pur­ chase agreements also provide another way for farmers to enter the new grain reserve program. Under provisions of USDA loan and purchase programs, producers who currently own 1976-crop feed grain not under Government loan are eligible to SOFT • WATER RENTAL No installation charge NEW fully automatic softeners TWO year option to buy with FULL rental fee deducted ONE phone call can answer any questions per month PHONE 312-259-3393 Rent-a-Soft, a division of the Arlington Soft Water Company, Arlington Heights, Illinois 60004 Serving McHenry Area sign a purchase agreement with the Commodity Credit corporation (CCC). A purchase agreement signed now com­ mits CCC to buy the grain at the established county support level on the final maturity date for each grain. After signing, the farmer may sell the grain before the delivery date, in which case the agreement would be voided. Final loan maturity dates for each grain are as follows: barley and oats, Feb. 28, 1978; and corn and sorghum, April 30, 1978. Purchase agreements may play a role in the formation of the feed grain reserve program was recently announced by Acting Secretary of Agriculture John C. White. If a producer signs a purchase agreement prior to the final loan maturity date for the commodity, he may convert the agreement to a loan at any time during the loan maturity month. If the agreement is converted, the feed grain can then move directly into the reserve program and the farmer would receive an additional payment to cover the first year's storage costs. Details of the reserve program will be available in the near future. Farmers who wish more information on purchase agreements or the feed grain reserve program should con­ tact their county Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation service (ASCS) office. SPECIAL MCC MEETINGS Special meetings of the McHenry County college board, will be held in executive session in the board room of the college, Route 14 and Lucas road.
