STAFF PHOTOS-WAYNE GAYLORD Policy Development Time For Farm Bureau Members Spring means something else besides time to plant! It's policy development time! This year's response to the TVTcHenry County Farm Bureau legislative com mittee's requests for views on a number of topics appear to be of considerably greater importance than in recent years Mel VonBergen, Hebron farmer who is chairman of the Policy Development and Resolutions committee, points out this is the year Congress and the Reagan administration must develop new national farm legislation because the present law expires this year Also, he says, with a Republican oriented ad­ ministration, the views of Farm Bureau will be listened to more attentively since President Reagan and Secretary of Agriculture John Block espouse greater market orientation and simpler, less costly federal food programs VonBergen and other members of the McHenry County Farm Bureau committee have developed a list of 14 topics suggested by farmers or which to them seem might be of concern to county farmers. The list has been sent farmers with the request they list them in the order of greatest concern, plus offering suggestions and comments. "These answers will provide the basis for our committee to develop our county farmers' report to the full meeting of the McHenry County Farm Bureau mem bership in September " he said "Those adopted at the annual meeting become policy, and that relate to state or national issues are forwarded to the Illinois Farm Bureau for con­ sideration by its resolutions committee " Reflecting on this pro­ cedure, VonBergen points out this is an effort being carried out by county Farm Bureaus throughout the state to learn the views of farmers "We are a grass roots organization in that we earnestly seek opinions of farmers to formulate policy. In responding to his questionnaire and in taking part in discussion at the annual meeting, every farmer has a chance to in­ ject his views on the total p o l i c y d e v e l o p m e n t process " Among topics suggested for discussion by the com­ mittee are establishment of dairy price supports in the new farm bill, state income tax earmarked to support local schools if adopted by a local referendum, and reapportionment of both the McHenry County Board and the Illinois General Assembly Increased emphasis has been placed on the need to conserve soil in recent McHenry county meetings and discussions, and the c o n t i n u i n g d r o u t h throughout much of the Senior Council Will Sponsor April Auction The McHenry • County Senior Citizens council will sponsor its second auction April 25 and 26 to help raise funds. This auction will be held in the Crystal Lake area at 17 Crystal Lake Plaza, and will begin at 10 a.m. a.m. on both days. Donations of saleable articles valued at $10 or more are needed. No clothing will be accepted. Large articles too bulky to be dropped off at the walk-in centers will be picked up. Arrangements for pick-up or additional information can be obtained by calling the council's Woodstock office, 338-6075, and ask for Geri Davis, council services administrator. Volunteers are needed for both days to assist in setting up for the auction. The McHenry County Senior Citizens council plans to use the funds realized from the auction to pay off back debts arising from the financial difficulties in­ curred during 1900. Interested persons are asked to call the council office and Ms. Davis will supply additional in­ formation or arrange for pick-up of donations. Cash donations designated to this fund may be sent to the of­ fice at 113 Nev ell street, Woodstock. 60098, marked Auction Donation. nation increases awareness of how devastating strong winds are in whisking away precious top soil from land too well t i l led •OOOOOOOOOOOO* Safety Hints >000000000000 Motorcyclists present unique problems for the drivers of cars, trucks and other motor vehicles. But please remember that the motorcyclist has the >ame rignt-o/ way privileges- you do Keep these safety rules in-mind when you share the road with a motorcycle. 1 Don't crowd a motor­ cycle Allow more following distance than you do for a car A motorcycle often can stop faster than your car because it is much lighter in weight Also, getting too close may make the cyclist nervous and cause him to lose balance and fall in front of your car 2 Regardless of size, motorcycles are entitled to use the fulla width of a traffic lane, the same as a car. Do not try to stop next to a motorcycle in the same lane. Either change lanes or stay behind Do not try to pass a motorcycle in the same lane that it is using. 3. If you are following a motorcycle, allow plenty of distance when approaching a railroad track If the crossing is rough or the tracks cross the road at an angle, the rider will need room to maneuver, and he will have to slow down. The motorcyclist often is faced with certain hazardous situations. Awareness of these potential dangers could help you to avoid a serious accident. (A copy of the Rules of the Road will be sent to you upon request Write to Jim Edgar. Secretary of State, Springfield, III 62756 ) * * • • Why is it that tomor­ row is so full of good working hours? OUT-OF-BODY REPORT Out-of-body experiences have become increasingly common. Eoch year there ore more reports and studies verifying the ex­ periences reported. But something startling has been reported that goes far beyond any ordinary out-of-body experience. The out-of-body experience occurs immediately after the subject has "cl inical ly died" and is of short durat ion, general ly Vi-2 hours, until the "dead" person is resuscitated. The subject leaves his physicol body, yet his senses remain intact: he can hear and see. However, it is reported that one of these after deoth' ex­ periences involved not only the subject's senses but his body as well. This is considered impossible under scientific standards, but ther* were approximately 500 eye-witnesses to the event, five of whom recorded their observations Eoch author worked independently of the others, subjecting his publication to public scrutiny, in the best scientific tradition of assuring accuracy. Each account maintains that on Israeli citizen named Jesus ben Joseph died. After three days, not only his senses but his entire body was raited from the grave by some paranormal force. Furthermore, the eye-witnesses claim that the man never again died but rose into the sky. disappearing from sight. These observations ore recorded in the following books: the Ac­ ts, Luke. Mark. Matthew, and John.

Presented By STATE BANK of RICHMOND Member F.D.I.C. Q. I'll be the first to admit the weak link in my budget is my credit buying. Can the link be reinforced ... or should I throw out the whole chain? A. Without credit, most of us would not be able to live where we live, drive what we drive, dress the way we dress or enjoy a myriad things we do now. The way to stay on the good side of a very valuable asset - credit - is to use it wisely. Make a concerted effort to keep finance charges at a minimum by paying bills promptly and, most im­ portantly, for the sake of your budget, include the amount you allow or estimate for monthly in­ stallment purchases in your budget Don't fudge unless there is a real emergency, then adjust subsequent monthly budgets to take up the slack If you have to sacrifice your budgeted savings allowance each month to take care of credit purchases: It isn't worth it.
