PAGE IS - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. JANUARY'15.1982 FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 21, 1932). Representative Thomas A. Bolger is attending the special session of the state legislators which was called to consider the question of reducing the salaries of state and county officials who are paid from the state treasury. The big problem before the session continues to be the untangling of tax affairs in Chicago and Cook county. Although an effort will be made to round up enough votes to pass the Senate bill reorganizing the Cook county assessing system, there seems to be but little hope of its accomplishment. The 10-piece Community orchestra from Ringwood placed second in the state rural music contest held at the University of Illinois in Urbana. The Ringwood orchestra was directed by Roland McCannon and won first place in county and district contests before going to Urbana. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 22, 1942). Dick Hester and Edward Thennes announce the forming of an agreement for the wholesale and retail distribution of fuel oil, range oil, gasoline, kerosene, lubricating oils and greases with headquarters at the Hester Oil station, west of the railroad tracks on route 120, McHenry. These two young men have had years of experience in this line and have a reputation for quality products and good service. Private James McAn- drews has been transferred from Fort Sill, Okla., to Riverside, Calif. Experiencing their first blackout were several hundred people in the eastern half of Lake county, among them Martin Cooney and Edward Kelter of McHenry. On their return trip from Chicago they were stopped by state police near the Bon Air Country club just north of Wheeling, and told to shut off all lights on the car. They were detained about 25 minutes. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 17, 1957). In addition to Mr. and Mrs. Claude McDermott and Joseph Bassett of Lakemoor, who made plans early last week to attend the inauguration of Gov. William G. Stratton in Springfield, Mr. and Mrs. Chuck Miller of McHenry also attended the ceremonies. Among others who received invitations to ^attend the inauguration given for state officials were Mr. and Mrs. William F. Tesnow, who were also in­ vited to attend the inaugural Mil. The McHenry county section of the current issue of the Dun & Bradstreet reference book contains listings of 1,266 local names comprising manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers. Since some of the service a n d ' ' p r o f e s s i o n a l " businesses are not listed, the figure for general businesses probably runs even higher than that mentioned. McHenry ranked second only to Woodstock, the latter having 232 listed and our own city, 214. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 21, 1972). Growing concern over need for a land fill area for disposal of sludge from the sewage disposal plant has been heightened by in­ struction from the State of Illinois. With expectation of the plant being completed during the coming summer, the City Council is faced with a real problem. In view of the imminent need for a land fill, the city is seeking ap­ proval of the petition of William DeVries for land fill operation at a site northwest of Woodstock. The McHenry County fair talent contest participant in the state meet at Springfield placed fifth. The entrant was a sextet from McHenry using the name, "Tide and Tempest". Members of this group, which placed second last summer at the fair, included Scott Curry, Amy Leighty, Cindy Jones, Craig Spengel, Rich DeMarco, all of McHenry, and Cheryl Elbersen, Wonder Lake. districts, USDA-Soil Con­ servation service, Illinois Department of Agriculture, Division of natural Resources, Illinois Department of Tran­ sportation-Division of Water Resources, Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago, Northeastern Illinois Planning com­ mission.

A new book titled "Procedures & Standards for Urban Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control in Illinois" has recently been published by the Nor­ theastern Illinois Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Steering committee. This book is designed to help developers, engineers, and local government officials to effectively control soil erosion during land development. In urbanizing areas (large sections of) land are exposed during the development process. This poses potential soil erosion problems caused by uncontrolled W^ter falling on and running? across the exposed areasl. The results can be increased main­ tenance costs of streets, roads, and storm sewers that fill in with sediment. Another problem addressed by the book is increased runoff associated with ur­ banizing areas. Illinois is not the first state to develop a resource book of 3309 N. C ho pel Hill ltd.

Wisconsin, Virginia, Maryland, and California are a few states that have been using one for quite some time. This book does, however, lead the nation in some in­ novative ideas. It is the only book to have a "Planning Matrix" with control measures designed to ad­ dress specific erosion problems. The matrix will help developers in the selection of proper control measures for specific problems or areas. Local government officials will benefit from the matrix during their review of development plans to determine if the proper measures have been selected. One of the easiest methods to control erosion is by establishing a grass or protective cover on the soil surface. Chapter 6, ' ' P r o c e d u r e s a n d Specifications", helps planners and developers to select the proper seeding mixtures for a specific area and during a certain time of the year when a seeding will produce the best results. The book also provides a step by step process for the design of structural methods of erosion control. Three model erosion and sediment control ordinances are featured in the book. Villages can review and select the best proposal for their municipality. Each section of the ordinance is accompanied by a com­ mentary explaining the rationale behind the or­ dinance. The book was developed through a cooperative effort of five northeastern Illinois Soil and Water Conservation Diner: 1 would like some oysters. Don't make them too large or too cold.

The sign-up period for agricultural conservation program practices is currently under way at the local office of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation service. Applications are being ac­ cepted according to ASC official Susan A. Maraccini. "We ask farmers to sign up as soon as possible because their practices must be approved by the county committee before the work can begin," she said. Far­ mers who start conservation practices before approval are ineligible for cost- shares. Program funds are available for establishing vegetative covers, strip- cropping or terrace systems, conservation tillage systems, sod waterways, forest tree plantations, wildlife habitats and many others. Ms. Maraccini said these practices will provide enduring solutions to the problems of farmland being a source of agricultural illution or land affected wind or water erosion. The program also authorises two or more farmers to pool their resources, efforts and finances to perform prac­ tices which will solve a { mutual conservation problem on their farms. ACP practices this year have corrected conservation problems on more than 2,700 acres of farmland in McHenry county, according to Ms. Maraccini. "With winter practices almost completed, farmers may want to begin plans for spring practices," the ASCS official said. The agency encourages farmers to correct soil and water conservation problems, and where needed, assists them with the cost of applying con­ servation practices . Program participants will receive federal financial assistance for up to 75 percent of the cost to help meet their most critical conservation needs. The ACP is a joint effort by farmers and the Govern­ ment to conserve soil and water, and to reduce agricultural pollution. S? Interest Rates On CCC Loans Applied Monthly Susan A. Maraccini, ac­ ting county executive director of the McHenry C o u n t y A g r i c u l t u r a l Stabilization and Con­ servation service, said that a recent change in the Com­ modity Credit corporation's interest rate policy could result in lower interest rates on crop and storage facility loans. j Since Jan. 1, 1962 the CCC interest rate is based on the monthly rate established by the U.S. Treasury as the cost of borrowing money. The initial interest rate on 1981 and subsequent crop commodity loans disbursed on or after Jan. 1, 1982, will be the interest rate charged CCC by the U. S. Treasury during the month the loan is disbursed. Previously, CCC interest rates were set semi­ annually on April 1 and Oct. 1. The interest rate on crop and storage facility loans disbursed since April 1,1961, will be adjusted Jan. 1. Maraccini said these loans, which have held a 14.5 percent interest rate, will be based on the CCC cost of borrowing money from the Treasury during January. According to Maraccini, the interest rate paid by the CCC declined from a peak of 16.75 percent in October to 13.625 in December. "Farmers should benefit from this downward trend in interest rates," she said. Monthly CCC interest rates will be announced to state ASCS offices as soon as the Treasury notifies the CCC. Naturalist To Open Audubon Film Series Cinematographer and Naturalist John Wilson will present his film "Wild Canada: Coast and Coast", a sweeping look at Canada's Atlantic and Pacific coasts, at the Woodstock Opera House Jan. 31 at 2 p.m. The screening is the first of the Audubon Wildlife films for this season, sponsored by the McHenry County Audubon society, the McHenry County Defenders, and the Environmental Education committee for the McHenry County Con­ servation district. The other films in the series are "The Marsh: A Quiet Mystery" on Feb. 28, and "A Wilderness Trek Through New Zealand on April 4. John Wilson explores the jagged cliffs, gentle far­ mland, and rugged shorelines that constitute if Canada's Atlantic and Pacific coasts. In the north, the world's highest tides surge through the Bay of Fundy, turning up nutrients that attract an abundance of bird and marine life. Rare birds and wild ponies are sighted on Sable Island, 100 miles out at sea. In the west, there is a thorough exploration of the Queen C h a r l o t t e i s l a n d s , highlighted by the antics of the Steller sea lion. A professional wildlife cinematographer working extensively with the Canadian Broadcasting, c o m p a n y , W i l s o n ' s photographs have appeared in Audubon magazine, and Ontario Naturalist.
