c.v :I-PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. FT BRIMV H. UB "EARL WALSH" So I Hear Just to keep me out of mischief, a questions ire with 71 items has been handed to me. The questions are not like historical items we have worked on before. These relate more to changes in occupancies, names and dates. McHenry has seen many changes through the years Old time residents and newcomers are not always in agreement on the changes, but changes have come in the name Opinions differ on the growth in recent years. Some people move from a big city to get to a small town, then want to see the small town grow into a big town Of course, there is the old story that the last person to Robert A Ju*ten He :>ega- - 5 a* S- V37 s Paroc" a school an<2 3'aa^a'ec 4's~ •, - gr SC-DO- - Jj^e "3*4 s'ec r '"•€ 'a<y r Ja' a^c se've^ as a rr»otor m€c"" s* ~a'e s*avo<-ei v *"e Eas- Coast He graaua:e<3 fror> .Vc sra~ ege s' Mortar/ Sc e~ce r *9^7 He "a*- e: "e ';""f Co'^ene _»"a"3 - Ap'i' * 9^s a"3 adocec *AO c <2'e'--Var« *nc s a 'icecsec 'ore'a 3 rect;x managing :-e 'a" , ess a^c K' sta «*io «o'*s 'c Sur Eiecrr c C'.s'a _a»e t" .'978 C-o;i-efte d'ec a."~<3 Ma/of1979 -Tia'"«c tr«'s~e' E zaDe"- cas4e;,3 s a --er^oe- 0' ST Var, s Ca:ro-< : C-jrcf He s a Tie^se' 0' "e <- g-ts of Co *"238 B s-oc Boy a'- s Aisemcn/ 4 if- ce^ree kr<gr:t Ca^o^c fo'sste' »695 McHer/ Moose LoCgea-o 3 'e •nemoe*'of The A-rrve^can Legior- *491 and /f* He -s a ce^sec p ot and -as se^.ec as treasure' arC secretary of ?-e c / r-g ' .'e'a D•sectors o* Ar-er ca He is a ^emoer of a): 3 rec*c-'e»atec associattons frorri ioca to r at>ona» ievets /»e ta»e c 3e - *"-e 'act tnat r^s 'ar^erai home dates oac* IOC yea's *itr tr'd a^c Sfr gene'ator Juste~s s**vtng the McHenry commo'ity Robertexp-a'jrs 'Ovjr sta" s *eii in'ormed on maners concer-mg Soc<a> Secc ty.pers.on funds, insurance etc to aid sur<;.o'i a*"cif '"e •urerat <Ve +e"?i '*"s *s a" --.pctant coritribjt-c ^/cc *yc • . /te./c. 5-Jc. // yc...c. y ^ 3519 West EL" S'ree- .Vr.Her.!

If you can find a horse barn in McHenry, there won t be a horse in it The same goes for a chicken house and chickens. Another change from other days -- You would have to look a long time to find a blacksmith shop. You are an Old Timer if you can remember the rhythmic tune of the blacksmiths hammer against the anvil One more change and I'll quit rambling. Crowds gathered at the Northwestern depot on Sunday nights to watch the summer vacationers board the train to go back to the big city This is one of those days. It was a struggle to roll out of bed Ate a hearty breakfast No struggle * Bathing and shaving, like heaven, can wait. Path leads to my easy- chair where the head goes back and the feet go up Thought I had enough sleep last night Not enough. How To Subscribe to The McHenry Plaindealer The McHenry Plaindeolvr 3812 W.

Guess I can muster up enough energy to reed the morning paper. Word drifts in from the kitchen that it would be necessary to go to the store for some things for lunch. Met Betty Phalen as I neared the entrance to the store and she questioned. "Does Alvina let you do the shopping7" Huh' Did she say "let"? In our younger days, mothers gave the kids sulphur and molasses for that certain feeling. I'd rather suffer. In Competition Averafe Ser»ie^ Portions One of the hardest things about adapting recipes is know­ ing ho» much of each main di$h to ser^e per person. The following listing will help you to decide how much to allow for each person. CHICKEN: With the bone still in. allow 1 to 1 '/* pounds per person For boneless chick­ en, allow g ounces per person. Plan on 4 to 6 ounces of chicken salad per person. FISH: When serving a whole poached fish with bone, such as striped bass or salmon, plan on V« to 1 pound per person. For filleted fish, serve 8 ounces per person. MEATS: Roasted meats, like lamb, beef, veal or ham, call for 8 ounces per person. Chops 1- inch thick, such as veal. Iamb or pork, call for 2 chops apiece. Grilled steak, with bone in requires 12 ounces per person and 1 pound for hearty eaters And ground meat should be served at 6 ounces per person. • * * • Going to school, boys and girls, may not be a pleasure trip but it will look like one after you buck the world for a living.

Evaluate Farm Finances by Brian Sager Extension Adviser Today's high interest rates, unfavorable prices, and increasing production costs are causing many faimers to evaluate their overall financial situation. Often this evaluation is made only at the insistence of a lender. All producers should make a financial check-up of their business at year's end. however It is important to evaluate both the liquidity and the solvency of the business Liquidity is the ability of the business to meet its financial obligations in a timely manner. Thus, liquidity is closely associated with cash flow In order to have an adequate cash flow, a farmer must have sufficient working capital. Working capital may be defined as the dif­ ference between current assets and current liabilities Many lenders like to see a current asset to current liability ratio of two. In other words, they like to see two dollars of current assets for each one dollar of current liabilities in order to make a new operating loan. Solvency is the ability of a business to pay all legal debts. If a farm business is able to pay all debts, it is considered solvent. During the present price squeeze, some producers may find it necessary to liquidate or sell-off a portion of their assets to provide adequate working capital. In some instances, liquidation of one enterprise might generate enough capital to reduce the debt load and help meet next year's cash flow requirements. , BOY SCOUT NEWS PACK 142 Pack 142 recently held its annual Pinewood Derby one week late due to the in­ clement weather.
