REDEDICATION On Saturday, Nov. 17, Mass followed the outdoor program of the rededication of St. John's with Bishop Arthur O'Neill. officiating. He reminded the parish of "how proud" the original founders must have been when the building was completed; but, as time went on, they came to see the church as a tool, em­ phasizing that the purpose of the building was to bring people closer to God by creating an atmosphere and place for worship combined. The bishop compared the building of a church and/me restoration to a family JUiat goes into debt to build a house. He said, "When the structure is completed there is still a key ingredient needed to make that building a home; that ingredient is love. That's the reason for a call to rededication, a deeper love, a call to worship, to strengthen education and family life." He hoped the cooperation in the common task of helping to restore the building, would give closer bonds to the parish, and have a deep significance in the members' lives as Catholics. He continued, "The cost of the project was substantial, but, if you were to attempt to replace this space, a building would cost about $5 million, and I'm glad you decided to restore this churcjv" FASHION SHOW This event sponsored by the Junior class of John­ sburg high school recently represented a veritable Christmas fairyland, with; the decorations, visit from Santa, Rudolph, the red- nosed reindeer, Frosty, the snowman, and many of Santa's elves.

DECEMBERS. l»7» Corn Checkoff Explained Work On Bikes F.asy repair or storage of bicyclc is available with a bike shelf -- a hardboard shelf with plastic-coated steel brackets. The shelf holds the bike by the frame, leaving wheels free to rotate. McHenry county farmers will have an opportunity to learn more about the proposed corn checkoff program when one in a series of informal hearings is held at the Kane county Extension office in St. Charles Dec. 5. Farmers are encouraged to give their views on the proposed checkoff program. After the final marketing program is drawn up following the hearings and a Dec. 7 state public hearing, the state Director of Agriculture, John Block, is authorized to conduct a corn farmer referendum to determine if a majority of corn producers support a corn checkoff program. Illinois Farm Bureau has supported the concept of this referendum, and McHenry County Farm Bureau in the past has supported the referendum approach for commodities as sc way to finance expanded research and market development. If producers vote to im­ plement the corn checkoff program, legislation already approved by the Illinois G e n e r a l A s s e m b l y authorizes collection of a quarter-cent per bushel from producers at the first point of sale of the corn. Money can be used only for research and market development, not for political action. The Illinois Corn Growers association feels this is a good program, John Camp- men, manager, reports. Bill Mullins, Shabbona farmer who is a NCGA vice- president an a man active in county, state and national Corn Growers activities, feels this type program can be quite helpful. "This program provides the structure to help insure a profitable future for com producers, yet it also provides safeguards to require that the funds are spent properly for corn producers under the supervision of corn producers who form the 15- member governing board," he summarized. from HISTORV'S SCRAPBOOK ] December 6, 1933 -- Americans rush to buy first legal al­ coholic beverages in 13 years.
