Citizen, Wond*' ltfh» McM#ni Top To Bottom Cleaning Service Full Spring Housecleamng and Weekly Light Housekeeping CALL 385-5700 The brutal winter of 1979 continues to have an effect on the McHenry area, as these photos taken around the city depict areas in city parks where snow was piled by snow removal crews. Above, are two photos of A.P. Freund field, where piles of snow remain, covered by inches of salt, sand and gravel, in addition to large amounts of trash. Deep ruts from equipment hauling the sand onto the field mar its appearance and will prohibit any ballplaying on the field. Much time and money will need to be spent before the field is ready for any spring or summer activity. At lower left, is the Pearl street city park, where the same situation is present. Chunks of cement curbing blend in with the sand and gravel to make a picturesque setting. Below, is a parking lot at Petersen park which was not used during the winter to pile snow, where the sand and gravel left by the melting piles would have possibly gone unnoticed. Mayor Stanek indicated this week the city crews would begin cleaning the parks as soon as weather permitted and the remaining ice and snow melted. "It will take a little extra effort," he explained, "but the work will be done by the regular crew." He added the parks were used to stockpile the snow to save time to keep city streets open during the heavy snowstorms. "If it takes longer to haul the snow, it would have cost the city more to rent the heavy equipment," he said. Until the crews finish cleaning up the parks, it will take more than nice weather before residents can enjoy the facilities. Li. -- Deficiency Payments Due Farmers who complied with the 1978 corn and grain sorghum set-aside programs will receive $265 million in deficiency payments, Ray Fitzgerald, administrator of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS), said this week. The payments will be made by county ASCS offices this month. Corn payments will amount to about $90 million while about $175 million will be paid to eligible grain sorghum producers. Deficiency payments are made to program participants when the national average market price for the first five months (October - February) of the marketing year falls below the Government-established target price for the commodity. The payment rate is the lower of the difference between the target price and the five month average price or the national average loan rate. For eligible 1978 corn acreage, the deficiency payrtient rate is 3 cents per bushel--the difference between the $2.10 target price and the $2.07 average market price. For grain sorghum, the deficiency payment rate is 33 cents a bushel-the difference between the $2.28 per bushel target price and the $1.95 average market price. Fitzgerald also announced the final National Program Acreages (NPA) and program allocation factors for the two crops. The National Program Acreage for corn is 76.2 million acres and the grain sorghum NPA is 13.7 million acres. Allocation factors, which are determined by dividing the crop's NPA by the number of harvested acres, are 97.1 percent of corn and 95.8 percent for sorghum. The allocation fatfctor will be applied to program planted acreage on farms where producers did not reduce their 1978 corn and sorghum plantings by 5 percent from their 1977 planted acreage. Eligible corn and sorghum growers who have not filed payment application forms should do so as soon as possible through their local county ASCS offices, Fitzgerald said. Payments cannot be made until applications are submitted and approved. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be changed from one form to another.

Such expressions as "purple with rage," "red with anger," or "white with fear" are as familiar as the names of the primary colors and, because they depict feel­ ings common to everyone, are as old as man's first attempts to provide a verbal image of the human condition. By varying the amount of light or darkness, white or black added to a basic pig­ ment, the artist can alter the value of a color. By varying the brightness or density, he can alter the intensity. So it is that most people find the days of their lives varying in value and intensity, some bright, some dreary and dull. When the density of anxiety, fear, and depression dominate a life, with no light to vary their dull hue. the result mav TOWN & COUNTRY MCOMI CLUB •Informative Evening Meetings •Children's Holiday Activities •Couples Social Events •Special Interest Mini-Groups •Morning Coffees (babysitting available) •Babysitting Co-operative MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION Jodie 305-4650/Sheila 344-2771 ] MEETINGS: 2nd Tuesday Monthly 7:30 PM Mctenrv's St. Paul's Eo. Church] be emotional disturbance such as neurosis. Is there anyone who has not felt anxiety about some future event? Isn't there dread of the unknown mixed with a child's anticipation of the first day of school, and doesn't near-panic seize some grandparents at the approach of yet another birthday? Who has never been de­ pressed, blue on days when everything goes wrong, with a feeling of being useless and unloved? And who has not known depression and grief following the loss of someone dear? To the anxieties familiar to all of us and to the moods of depression, whether caused by grief or just the ups and downs of living, fear may be added as a recognizable reac­ tion. Eight-month-old babies fear strangers, and little chil­ dren may be afraid of dogs for a time. Old, half-remem­ bered tales and the daily news may fill us with alarm. But just as most babies learn to respond to friendly smiles with shy smiles of their own, and most children, after a few timorous advances, lose the sense of panic they felt at the approach of a small, tail- wagging dog, so most people as they mature learn to ac­ cept anxious moments and blue periods as a part of living. However, there are many whose lives are less than full Instead of coping with prob­ lems, they have learned to avoid them.

First, gather all the cleaning supplies you'll need6 to save extra steps be­ tween cleaning closet and "dirt central." Clear the room of messy clutter, pull furniture away from the wall and turn back carpet edges. Choose a starting point, but don't forget that dust settles downward, so door frames come first and floors last.

So join youngsters and adults who are enjoying artichokes, the ancient vegetable that's still new to many. They're now fresh and abun­ dant. Eat as finger food. Pick off artichoke leaves one by one, dip into butter or an herb sauce and scrape each leaf between your teeth. Artichokes contain many Vitamins and minerals, are low in sodium. , they become burdened with guilt. For many, the anxiety caused by a hurtful experience may impede mature responses in the future.
