PAGE 4 -PLA1NDKALER- FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 16, 1979 Economics Befits 30 4-Hers The cynic who termed economics "the dismal science" would get an argument from some 30 4-H members chosen to attend the twenty-eighth 4-H Commodity Marketing symposium in Chicago Feb. 25-28. These enthusiastic young people, selected for their economic initiative in various 4-H projects, will attend the four-day educational event as guests of the Chicago Board of Trade, the nation's oldest and largest commodity exchange. In addition to receiving ex­ pense-paid trips to Chicago, the youths, will tour processing plants, attend seminars, question marketing experts and visit the trading floor of the Board of Trade, where they will be introduced firsthand to the intricate world of futures trading. CBT supports the national 4- H commodity marketing program, in which girls and boys 9-19 can earn recognition for/their 4-H production and marketing projects. Awards include medals of honor for four young people in each county and a trip to the annual symposium for the top state winner. The program appeals to both rural and urban 4-H'ers. Farm youths develop a natural in­ terest in learning the law of supply and demand the first time they discover that a prize-winning wheat crop doesn't count for much unless they know how to ask the right price of it. City 4-H'ers can learn commodity or product marketing through tours and studies of local businesses, such as garment centers, jewelry manufacturers, grocery wholesalers, stock and CROSS COUNTRY SKIING RENTALS SERVING LUNCH & DINNER HUNTER COUNTRY CLUB OPEN TO THE PUBLIC --Champagne Sunday Brunch-- - 10:30 AM to 2:00 PM $4.50 per person $3.50 12 yrs. & under (Complete Dinner Menu after 2 PM) --Friday Fish Fry-- Homemade £ 4% c a Potato Pancakes W Cole Slaw & Applesauce Introducing Our All Now TWILIGHT DINNER MENU TUES. thru FRI. 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM Too Late For Lunch - Too Early For Dinner CHEF: JooHalvorson FOR RESV. & INFO - 815-678-2631 RT. 173-ONE BLK.

One of them, an 18-year-old from Virginia, owned stocks in nine different companies. Several of his stocks doubled in value, and before he graduated from high school he found himself a part-time job as an investment counselor. Another 1977 winner, who raised and sold poultry, came up with an ingenious plan for cutting his feed costs. To minimize the time and expense involved in buying feed from the nearest outlet, which was many miles away, he applied for-and received-permission to form a local retail outlet for the f^/ed wholesaler. He now buys his feed from his own store, earning the money from the profits on his sales to others. Also among last year's winners was a college student who squeezed an extra bonus from her student exchange trip to Japan. She wanted to know what happens to American wheat after it arrives in Japan and she hunted down Tokyo marketing experts and in­ terviewed them until all her questions were answered. The 4-H commodity marketing program is con­ ducted by the Cooperative Extension service. Awards are arranged by National 4-H council. More information on the program is available from county extension agents. ARSON SUSPECTED IN BLAZE-The state fire marshal's office and McHenry Township Fire Protection officials are conducting an investigation to determine the cause of this $30,000 blaze. The Are, in a vacant home at 1406 Eastwood lane, damaged 50 percent of the structure, which is owned by James Parenti. Fire Chief Glenn Peterson indicated two locations were found in the house where flammable liquid had been spilled. Firemen from Companies One and Two battled the blaze for about three hours. Assistant Fire Chief Chris Bennett said the cold weather and sightseers hampered firemen, "it was one of the worst cases we have had with people following the fire trucks," he reported. Firemen were forced to shovel snow away from fire hydrants which were buried in the area.

PACK 162 Well, without a doubt, Mr. Art Kreutzer, leader of Webelos Den One, is one proud den leader. When asked about his boys, his answer was that they're the best. One of their outstanding projects were the pine wall clocks for their parents. They were stained and finished, and numbers were put on. The battery operated clocks made very nice gifts. The boys have been working very hard toward their activity badges. Jeff Grant has earned six awards in acitivity; Charlies Kuhns, five badges; Chris Mann, 6 badges; and Ricky Svihlik, five badges. Those boys have really been hitting the books. Two new members for the Webelos are Bradley McNish and I^dward D'Sousa. Some future field trips for the boys include a swim at West Campus and a visit to a Boy Scout Troop. Sounds like fun. All the boys participated in Pinewood Derby and had a great time. Their theme for the Blue and Gold dinner is World War II airplanes. Now that's something any boy would be interested in. Apaneful experience.
