Here find There W'C! ,B Bu«in»«» Hrmnfa ' ftTTfttrr* *n McHenry Employers McHenry area employers anticipate a slump ih the level of new hiring activity -v during the coming three months (July, August, September) from the pace of one year ago, according to a quarterly survey conducted by Manpower, the world's largest temporary help firm. Chuck Bartels, owner of Manpower's McHenry of­ fice, said, "Manpower's sur vey found that the outlook of employers here parallels (he national and regional patterns of less hiring and more reductions in staff during the coming months. Overall, 13 percent of the employers polled forecast hiring plans, an equal percentage are considering cutbacks, and 78 percent anticipate no change," Bartels said. In a similar survey con­ ducted one year ago, 27 Slump percent of the employers forecast hiring plans, a nominal 3 percent were considering reductions in staff and 70 percent expected no change. Service industry em­ ployers project hiring plans while durable goods manufacturers anticipate cutbacks in staff. All other sectors project stable em­ ployment levels. Expand Loan Programs State Treasurer Jerry Cosentino has announced that both his 10 percent home mortgage and 11 percent crop production loan programs have been ex­ panded in scope. The state fund deposit program designed to spur , financial institutions to make 10 percent mortgages ' on 1979-initiated individual homes now has been broadened to include con­ dominiums and lownhouses started in calendar year 1979, Cosentino said. The deposit program for rural banks to make crop production loans of up to nine months' duration at no v more than 11 percent in­ terest also has been modified so that banks can make more loans to hard-pressed farmers, Cosentino added. Both programs were announced recently by Treasurer Cosentino and Gov. James Thompson as part of an effort to boost a sagging Illinois economy. Cosentino reported both his Chicago and Springfield offices have been flooded with telephone calls since the programs were started. Many callers, however, pointed out quite dramatically that con- dominum and lownhouse buyers usually are young first-time buyers, or senior citizens, and they felt; they were being unjustly ex­ cluded from the scope of the program. Cosentino said that in including the lownhouses and con­ dominiums in the program, he was applying the same guidelines. The dwelling must be a one-family unit on which construction started prior to Dec. 31, 1979, and it can never have been oc­ cupied or sold. "In the first two weeks of the housing program, we have committed more than $34 million^ in deposits to coyer 10 percent mortgages made in 27 counties," Cosentino reported. "The average mortgage of $62,000 undoubtedly will drop as we add condominiums and townhouses to the program. "It now appears that we will be able to expand the initial $50 million allocation of state deposits to the home mortgage program." The farm program had commitments of$8,000,000 in its first two weeks, Cosentino said, covering more than 400 farming operations being assisted with 11 percent loans to cover fuel, fertilizer, seed and grain costs until they can market crops. Farmers reported having paid as much as 18 percent interest for these type loans earlier. "We are making every effort to encourage wider participation on the part of the bankers of the entire state in these programs," Cosentino said. "We are enthusiastic about the program because both the housing and farming in­ dustries are vital to the economy of Illinois. "We expect that as the stalemate in the housing industry is broken through easier access to nominal- rate mortgages, there will be hvany new starts with resultant positive ripple effect in added-state income tax and sales tax collections as people return to the labor market." Cosentino added that the outstanding part of the program of putting out these slate deposits lied to specific commilments by ihe banks or savings and loan in­ stitutions is lhal in all cases the state has suffered no loss of interest on the in­ vestments being made. All deposits go out at the prevailing rate of interest, Cosentino stressed; Benjamin Promoted By Freedom Finance Charles W. Benjamin, senior vice-president and head of operaiions of Freedom Financial Services corporation. Oak Brook, has announced that Thomas P. Burke was promoted to their supervisory staff.

Charles Herdrich & Son, Inc. is a distributor in this area.

Eppers, new account superviser, McHenry State bank, was one of 82 bankers from 25 states who successfully completed the nineteenth Bank Executive Develop­ ment seminar sponsored by the Independent Bankers Association of America on the campus of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Ark.

E p p e r s C o m p l e t e s Seminar For Bankers The leaf-eating gypsy moth, a naajor pest of trees which became established in this country in Massachusetts in 1869, has been eating its way west­ ward each year. It strips leaves from many thousands of acres of forests in the Northeast annually, destroying valuable timber, spoiling outdoor recreation areas and causing a nuisance around homes. This year the moth has become entrenched in McHenry trees and an effort is being made to control i hem. The pest spreads a few miles each year on its own, but also is an accomplished hitch-hiker. If often lays eggs on vehicles or outdoor items and travels to new areas with people. Moth caterpillars - the destructive stage - and pupae also can hitch rides. The United States i Department of Agriculture feels it is important that this pest be recognized and destroyed in all of its stages of life to help control and possibly halt the advance further westward.

Oaks, I as many others, hear so much about the gypsy moth. Reading the Plain- dealer, one is aware of the concern. . x "But I drive the Crystal Lake road blacktop daily ' and am much perturbed at the little concern for the tent caterpillar and the damage it is doing and has done, with nothing being done. In my daily venture I counted 17 trees badly diseased and filled with tent caterpillars,, plus 25 in all, completely bare of leaves from Bull Valley road to Mason Hill road. "There are a few even closer to McHenry ; also, on the way to Crystal Lake Hillside road, also on Rt. 120, going to Woodstock, if a tree is dead it is because of tent caterpillars, as you can be sure the tree next to it is infested. "I finally approached a member of the McHenry County Defenders and asked her why something isn't done to control the tent caterpillar. She thought the approach should be for every home to take care of its own (and I do agree with her on this) but I, as an individual, cannot go knocking on doors to tell them the branches have to be cut off at an early stage, as soon as one tent appears. And they should know the branch should be burned or doused with kerosene, which is a touchy procedure. We licked the problem in this way. "If this gypsy moth is a county .problem, doe n'i anyone else notice the ugly half alive trees all over and see that nothing is being done to control the problem? "There is an easy way to destroy the tent caterpillar without spraying - just get them early, cut them out and burn. Don't wait until the tree is gone. "If everybody helped in this matter, then we wouldn't have to be con­ cerned about spraying and if ihere is a better way. let's get it out iiflhe open. "Clare Olson "1004 Oakwood Drive "McHenry" DECONTROLOF G.ASOHOL SOUGHT Officials" of the U.S. Department of Energy have moved to decontrol gasohol. The move would free the alternate fuel from the government marketing restraints, permitting it to seek an open price. An executive of one petroleum firm viewed the proposed decontrol as a "political move," saying thejifting of price restrictions would be accompanied by a new allocation rule, which in effect "robs Peter to pay Paul." STILL TO BE INSTALLED A farm-size ethanol still will be installed in July at the FS Feed Research center near Lexington to test the feasibility of producing alcohol in a farm-type operation. FS officials said the unit will have the production capacity of about four gallons of 180-proof alcohol per hour. The test is to determine the most economical way for farmers to produce and use the alcohol and distillers grains that result from the process.
