{HORHSBYS a tract ion t t je cost Podiatrist -- Foot Specialist AUTOMOTIVE CONFERENCE--Dick Hranac, Instructor-coordinator of the automotive programs at McHenry County college, leads a session on "Teacher Built Teaching Aids" at the Spring conference of the Illinois College Automotive Instructors association last week. The two-day conference was held at MCC with automotive instructors from colleges across the state in attendance. Sessions of fuel injection, teaching aids, automotive program financing, industry presentations and tours of area factories were included in the conference. \ ' Law Protects Wild flowers The McHenry County Conservation district is reminding the many fans of springtime that wildflowers and ferns--in fact, everything living or not~in the conservation sites are protected by law and must not be removedt' "Unfortunately, this is the season when our rangers start to see wildflower en­ thusiasts returning to our parking lots carrying plastic bags full of plants with roots, soil and all," says MCCD Land Manager Donald Schellhaass. The foremost reason to leave the wildflowers alone in conservation sites is ihat the sites belong to everyone, and should not be diminished by any individual. But other reasons also apply. Wild­ flowers growing on a wild site often have root systems that are impossible to transplant without damage to the plants. Furthermore, they adapt to the particular conditions of moisture, sunlight, wind exposure, and soil type that surrounds them. A move to a different site would rarely duplicate all these factors, and would often doom the plants in spite of tender loving care from the greenest of thumbs. Finally,* people who just pick the blossoms for a short-lived wildflower bouquet are interrupting the life cycle of a wild plant which is struggling for survival. 30-Day Extension For Corn In Reserve Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland extended the deadline from May 15 to June 13 for corn farmers who did not participate in the 1979 Feed Grain program 4o place corn in the farmer- owned Grain Reserve. On April 15 Bergland authorized the previously ineligible corn producers to enter approximately 295 million bushels (7.5 million metric tons) of corn in the Set Theme For Bible School "Jesus, I Believe in You" is the theme for Vacation Bible school at the Wonder Lake Bible church, which will be held June 5 through June 13. Classes will be offered for all ages from age 5 through Grade 8. Bible-based lessons will be taught with excitement and variety through the use of many advanced teaching methods.

To date, 40.1 million bushels (1 million tons) of this corn had been placed in the Reserve. Bergland said he was 'taking the action to isolate additional corn stocks from the marketplace and strengthen market prices. Bergland has also ex­ tended the May 31 deadline for 1979 program par­ ticipants to obtain loans on <> their 1979 crop corn until June 13. Any loans made after May 31 must be placed immediately in the Reserve, however. Bergland has told farmers who did participate in the 1979 Feed Grain program and who currently have corn under a regular 9-month price support loan they may continue to enter their grain into the Reserve, regardless of how many bushels of previously ineligible corn go into the Reserve. "There is a growing number of nurseries which sell seeds and plants of our native wildflowers, ferns and prairie grasses and forbs," reports John Shiel, M C C D i n t e r p r e t i v e naturalist. "This is good because it encourages home cultivation of plants whose foothold in wild habitats is slipping with every new road, parking lot, and subdivision." Sources of supply can be found in the booklet, "Sources of Native Seeds and Plants," which is available by contacting the Soil conservation Society of America, 7515 N.E.

Interpretive Naturalist Shiel adds, "We want to move attitudes away from the 'trophy syndrome' in outdoor recreation, in which the recreationist has to take something home to prove he has been there. We would ather promote the per­ ception of natural en­ vironments, so that the recreationist doesn't have to diminish the resource in order to feel re-created." Vh This week we are highlighting Rex Hester as someone you should know at McHenry high school. Hester was born andv raised in McHenry and at­ tended Marian high, where he was a member of the basketball and baseball teams, Student Council and was president, of the Honor society.

Upon his discharge he returned to school and graduated from Northern Illinois university in 1971 with a Master's of Secondary Education with an emphasis on psychology. He returned to McHenry to teach social studies at Marian Central and coach basketball.
