But equally happy and proud were two grandparents who will be reading of her victory in the Plaindealer, Mrs. Norman Anderson of McHenry and Harold Woody of Grayslake. Kristine s winning heifer was Kee Emulous Eileen 716. The same animal was grand champion in the Junior show at the North American International Livestock Expo at Louisville in November. Above, Kristine is shown at the halter of her champion.

CONSERVATION CLUB The lake is experiencing a bit of trouble. Some holes have been opened and there is the foul smell of decaying weeds coming up. Bubagain, the area that has been dredged is doing better than the rest of the lake. Hopefully the "winter kill" won't total the whole lake. The second volumes of the cookbooks are available. The recipes are super again this time. They have been selling well and the number left is getting smaller. So don't delay, place your order today by calling Mrs. Ed Hammer or Sharon Gacek.

A one-track mind is not a handicap if you are on the right track. CONSUMER GUIDELINES Laundry Tips If you plan to install a new washing machine in your home, locate the unit close as possible to a hot water source. Be sure to clean lint filter regularly Never overload your washer -- this could lead to problems For ex tra protection, buff the exterior oc casionally with appliance wax. I've noticed something in the past few weeks that scares me silly, and ita has been most dangerous since the snowdrifts and piles of snow at the in­ tersections get larger with every new snow fall. The problem is bad enough when there isn't any snpw and it happens; but noyrfthe chance of a fatal mistake grows larger. The problem is with our smaller citizens, the grade school children, and their forgetfullness when it comes to checking the road for vehicles before they cross enroute to their respective schools. Yesterday, I saw two children running down the street, on the sidewalk where they belong, with their books and lunch pails. Without even breaking stride, they ran across the intersection to the other side, after having ap­ peared from between two snowbanks on the corner. Fortunately, there were no vehicles going down the road near the intersection, and the children were safe, this time. We can all see that the potential is there for a serious accident, and there is no reason that it should ever happen. All that is needed is for parents of grade schoolers, and teachers to remind the little ones of the dangers involved in crossing an intersection, and to instruct them in the proper method of crossing. Some of the major intersections have crossing guards; if possible have the children cross there. Oc­ casionally, the police depart­ ment has to take one of these crossings for one of the guards. I have seen children go out of their way to avoid crossing where we are. A little in-home education in the proper method of crossing is in order. Attention all you CB "Good Buddies"! Some of you regulars are aware of this, but the rest of you who don't monitor the CB all the time probably aren't. There is a nice lady on the radio called the "Gopher", and she monitors channels 9 and 19, and works for the Illinois state police and the people of McHenry. She always seems to be there, at all hours of the day and night, and is there to help you all in your times of need. In the past two bad storms, she was a big help to the citizens and to the police reporting people stranded, accidents, etc. All of the city of McHenry police vehicles have CB's in them. If you ever need us, all you have to do is "Break" to channel 9 or 19 and ask for any "Local" and one of us should answer. The deadline for the purchase and display of the city of McHenry vehicles stickers has now passed, and if you haven't purchased them as of yet, you had better get down to the city clerk's office and get them, because you are now eligible to receive a citation for not having them. The secretary of state of Illinois has advised us that all people who placed the stickers 6n license plates incorrectly can leave them there, and will not have to purchase a new sticker. However, if you have placed the sticker on the wrong plate, and have the sticker on the plate on the front of your car, you will have to change the plates and put the plate with the sticker on it on the rear of the car. This is a must, unless you want to be stopped by every police officer that "sees you. Spring is just around the corner now (but someone's moving the corner). It can't come soon enough for me. Intentions to participate in the 1979 wheat and feed grain program may be filed now at the McHenry County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS). "Although program par­ ticipation is voluntary, producers must file their in­ tentions to participate during the sign-up period to obtain program benefits," Jimmie D. Lucas, Chairperson of the ASC committee said. All farmers planting wheat and-or feed grain for harvest in 1979 are eligible to participate. The program requires that participants set aside acres from production to be eligible for loans on any crop other than sugar, deficiency and disaster payments and participation in the reserve. A 20 percent set- aside requirement is contained in the wheat and barley program. The com and sorghum program contains a 10 percent set-aside and a 10 percent diversion. According to Lucas, participating farmers will, receive voluntary diver­ sion payments on corn and sorghum. "By participating in the set- aside program, producers help prevent an excessive build-up of wheat and feed grain stocks which causes low market prices," the ASCS official said. Details of the 1979 program may be obtained from the local ASCS office. Goodwill Visit Feb. 23 Former County Juvenile Officer Has Promotion Chief Judge John J. Kaufman of the 19th Judicial Circuit court has announced the ap­ pointment of* Michael J. Mortensen as chief probation officer for the Lake County Adult Probation department. Mortensen has been em­ ployed with the Adult Probation - department since January of 1969, and was promoted to supervisor in December of 1973. Prior to his service with Lake county he was a juvenile and adult probation officer for a two and one-half-year-period in McHenry county. Mortensen. 36, is a lifelong resident of the county and presently resides in Antioch. He attended the University of Illinois, Northern Illinois university, and John Marshall Law school Skinner Charges High Mass Transit Salaries The Regional Transportation Authority's 1980 budget reveals that the average salary and fringe benefits for the ap­ proximately 17,500 persons employed by mass tran­ sportation providers in the six northeastern Illinois counties will be $27,143 next year, reports State Rep Cal Skinner. Jr. (R-McHenry county). "I was shocked to discover that the RTA bureaucrats, CTA employees, commuter railroad personnel and suburban bus company employees are that well paid," the McHenry county lawmaker said. "I suspect most taxpayers will agree with me." Skinner pointed to page 5 of the budget document recently submitted to the legislature. The direct quote is. Ap­ proximately 17,500 persons are employed by mass tran­ sportation providers in the six- county region. The salaries, wages, and fringe benefits for these workers will amount to, about $475,000,000 in FY 80. "Divide $475 million by 17,5 employees and the average amount per person comes;out to $27,143." Skinner said. People must learn to get along with less than perfect people. "It's too late to reduce your 1978 income taxes with con­ tributions to Goodwill In­ dustries, but a donation now will help on your 1979 taxes." Mrs Nick (Agnes) Adams Goodwill representative an­ nounced today. This tax comment was made when she announced that the Smiling G truck is scheduled to be in McHenry, Friday, Feb. 23, to collect clothing and housewares for the Goodwill clients to be used in rehabilitation work adjustment programs. For informaiton call Mrs. Adams. "How does it feel to be disabled*' It hurts the heart... not in the obvious ways you might expect, but in day by day frustrations and disap­ pointments. How difficult, how slow the simple set of putting up her hair becomes for a girl with an impaired arm or hand. How difficult to face strangers whose reactions to you vary from too much sympathy to fear," Mrs. Adams said. "Facing the world with a physical or mental disability, and adjusting to it, becomes easier with understanding help That's what disabled people find at yotir Goodwill In­ dustries." * ."Your contributions to Goodwill help you with your tax problems and especially aids the handicapped clients to develop their potential to become useful, self-sustaining citizens," Mrs. Adams con­ tinued.
