Cathleen (McMillan) Prosek. formerly of Wonder Lake received a pleasant surprise when she went to the Newington Forest Community association annual meeting recently. She was presented with a plaque and $1,000 in cash "in recognition of outstanding and dedicated service to the Newington Forest Com­ munity association."

Upon receiving her check, Ms. Prosek said, "I want to get some furniture to keep the plant company in the living room!". The Proseks had been in their home one year to the dary when she received her award. Ms. Prosek is the daughter of Dolores McMillan of Wonder Lake and the late Thomas McMillan. FUEL SUPPLY GOOD -THIS YEAR Farmers will probably have enough fuel to meet spring planting and fall harvesting needs, but some agricultural economists say fuel availability next year may not be as good. "We are probably walking on a very thin knife edge in terms of what's coming out of the ground and what the world is using." said Otto Doering, agricultural economist at Purdue University. He said it would not take much to cause a shortage next year. A lot depends, he said, on whether Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries decide to cut back on production. As for gas prices at the pump this fall, Doering predicted $1.50 a gallon. McHenry Highlights FACTS FROM McHENRY COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Scene From "Li'I A brier" Title I - Education of the Disadvantaged In the United States, there are approximately sixteen million disadvantaged children. Almost all of these youngsters need special help in school to raise their skills to those of their peers. In 1965 the federal government passed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) which brought much needed help and at­ tention to these children. In its first year alone, this act provided more than $900 million dolalrs to expand and improve educational programs in local school districts for the educationally deprived students. Since 1966, McHenry high school has been granted 9 Title I funds to meet the needs of these children in our district. The federal monies provide for special in­ struction, special equipment and materials, and for special teachers to help service the most severely disabled readers.

Free Assistance On Taxes Taxpayers in northern Illinois who need help preparing their basic income tax forms this year can find free tax assistance close to home, Donald E. Bergherm, Internal Revenue Service district director for the Chicago district, said this week. Through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program (VITA), IRS- trained volunteers will help fill out tax forms of low- income and elderly tax­ payers who cannot afford a professional tax preparer. Temporary VITA offices are set up in churches, schools, libraries, community cen­ ters and other locations convenient for taxpayers. Some offices also have Spanish-speaking volun­ teers. VITA volunteers are members of local civic and social organizations, college students or other persons who want help. All assistors attend IRS training courses in basic tax preparation before qualifying as VITA volunteers. VITA help is similar to that offered by IRS Tax­ payer Assistance, but some taxpayers prefer the VITA offices which often are closer to home and have more flexible hours. Persons needing VITA assistance should bring, the tax package mailed to them by IRS, and other records and receipts such as W-2 forms and interest statements. They should also call the local VITA site since many operate on an ap­ pointment basis and their hours of operation may change during the filing season. VITA assistance is available at the Woodstock Community center, 338-1757 or 338-4098. Jody Seaborn on Rug Hooking. Jeff Gealow on Coin Collecting. Jim Griggs on Rabbits.

Club Reporter EXXON HEAD: GASOHOL HAS ROLE The president of the world's largest oil company says gasohol can play a role in meeting the nation's energy needs. Exxon President Howard Kauffmann added, however, that the present gasohol production methods are not the best ones to ensure a net energy gain. He suggested that the U.S. has to find some method of producing the alcohol for gasohol. other than with the use of imported oil.
