PAGE 4 "EARL WALSH" So I Hear Our co-worker, Carole Humann, ran across an ancient cook book and thought it would be nice for me to get up some meals to surprise Alvina Me! A cook!!

My mother left me in charge one time while she left the house for a short time and I burned a pot roast on both sides. That isn't easy. From one section of Carole's book called "In­ valid Cookery", I gleaned this recipe: IRISH MOSS JELLY Half cup Irish moss, 1 pint boiling water, 1 lemon, 1-3 cup sugar. Soak and wash the moss thoroughly, then put into the boiling water and simmer until dissovled. Add lemon juice and sugar; strain into mold. It is very nourishing made as a drink. As a drink, for real nourishment, I would suggest adding a drop of Irish Mist. Here's one I never heard of: CRUST COFFEE Toast crusts of bread until very brown; break in small pieces To one pint hot water add one cup of bread crusts. Let stand 15-20 minutes, strain and serve hot with cream and sugar or salt. That will never replace my morning coffee, real coffee with an egg cracked in the pot EGGNOG Beat one egg, white and yolk separately. Add 1 tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon wine or brandy and '-2 cup milk. Mix well. One "tablespoon" of wine or brandy! That can be revised. Drink slowly and refill the cup as often as yodr doctor prescribes. Carole, you have been a big help. Talk about an excited grandma. I think your sports section will carry a story about Marie Yegge's grandson's play in basketball tournaments. At grandma's request, some very late long distance .calls came to her to report results. March Madness! It's the same old story. Rookies are played up as superstars in spring training. Some will make the team. Many will be sent back to the minors while old, familiar names appear in the select list. Anyhow, I like to read about those phenoms and hope the deserving ones will get more than a look. Putting my boots away for a few days seemed like a good idea. Then came more spurgeon's Hurry. . .

When summer comes, those boots are going to travel as far as I can throw them Seeing Mrs. Tony Blake and Mrs. Joe Bauer hike off to church early each mor­ ning is enough to put younger people to thinking. Others in our neigh­ borhood, Nellie Doherty and the Hanfords, did the same when health permitted. Those pictures of vegetables in seed catalogues are beautiful. For some, it is enough to make them order seeds and get the spading fork ready. I'll resist the terrible urge. It may take will power. That illness called "something that's going around" has hit a lot of people lately. Colds and sore throats- Part of the old time remedy was to tie a wool sock around your neck. Some said it should be a dirty sock. (Have no idea why the dirty one unless it was to clear your sinus.) Promote Agricultural Areas For Protection Of Farming Mexico City Mexico City is the oldest city in the Western Hemisphere, and it's been a capital since 1325. It's full of magnificent modern architecture, and surrounded by awe-inspiring ancient mysteries. In 1957, an earthquake caused great damage to the city and, since it rests on a lake bed filled with light volcanic ash, some ot the streets sink 12 to 14 inches a year. AT PNOTO FORUM WE OFFER 1 Farmers may be overlooking a key reason why the formation of an Agricultural Area is in their best interest, Ann Hughes, District 3 member of the McHenry County board, told the McHenry County Farm Bureau board last week. • "Protection of their present farming operation over the long term can be a most significant benefit of forming an Agricultural Area" she explained. "As growth continues to expand throughout McHenry county - as developers and in­ dustrial planners try to seize land that is easy to build on - farmland will be threatened. Mrs. Hughes, who is a member of a family involved in the first Agricultural Area formed in McHenry county, spoke at the February meeting of the McHenry County Farm Bureau board of directors, where several County board matters relating to agriculture were discussed. She said she sees the Agricultural Area program as an opportunity for people in farming to emphasize their desire and intention to stay in farming. "Formation of an Agricultural Area is a commitment to keep the land in farming and give County board members who want to keep good farmland in agriculture support for their contention that im­ proper land use is in conflict FOR FREE A SECOND SET OF PRINTS WITH EACH ROLL OF FILM WE DEVELOP I PRINT. with the county's long-range planning," she explained. She said the Zoning Board of Appeals members and members of the County board's zoning committee needs to know that farmers support the concept of "farmland preservation. "Agricultural Area par­ ticipation is a signal to planners that farmers know we need agricultural land," she asserted. Melvin Von Bergen, Farm Bureau president, agreed Farm Bureau should become more active in telling farmers about the program and how to sign up. He asked the legislative committee to move ahead w i t h i n f o r m a t i o n a l programs on the Ag Area act. Larry Harris, Farm Bureau manager, will contact farmers who have inquired about the program and solicit their con­ sideration. Harris said no attorney is required to draw up the Ag Area agreement, and Mrs. Hughes said the only cost experienced in forming the first Ag Area was less than $100 to publish the legal notice.
