Doris Low Koty Christopher RINGWOOD NEWS 653-9262 385-8037 Interest Trend Boost To Farmers PAGE 9 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10,1982 Father-Chila Clubs At 'V . Pick $ite For Local Picnic You were informed in last week's column that there would be a picnic for the Ringwood community on Sunday, Sept. 26. We can now tell you it will be held at the Ringwood Elementary school at.l p.m. that day. This will be an old fashion potluck dinner with everyone bringing their own table service, sandwiches for their own family if they wish, and a ^ dish to share. Remember, this is for everyone in the community as well as former residents and friends. Bring any pictures or memorabilia of the town to share with others. It should be a fun time for everyone. VISIT NAUVOO Art and Katy Christopher spent Labor Day weekend with their son, Dave, and on Sunday they traveled to Nauvoo to see this historical com­ munity of the Mormon faith. The folks did not realize this was also the weekend of the annual grape festival so were not prepared for the crowds in attendance for the big parade. - However, they did their sightseeing •r while the parade was on, so it made it very pleasant getting around. An interesting feature of this town is- that all the secondary streets were built for the horde and buggy days so that when two cars met, both would have to pull partially on the grass to pass. WEEKEND HAPPENINGS Sally and Chris Delby spent the weekend working at home but also found time to visit with friends who stopped in from Canada. v Frank and L.U Visconti, with little Frankie, spent the weekend camping at Lakeland Campground near Milton, Wis. RETURNS HOME Linda Billikas and children, Nicky, Charlie and Becky left for home, N. Quincy, Mass., on Thursday of last week. They arrived in Boston Friday by AmTrax. Twas a long ride but they didn't seem to mind it, especially after getting to spend three weeks visiting Linda's parents, Doris and Walt Low and getting to visit other friends and relatives in the area. CAMPERS Walt and Doris Low and the Bob Laursen's of McHenry spent the last long weekend camping. It was a beautiful weekend, except for Monday which was cloudy and dreary, but well worth the effort of going out. There were others in the area I'm sure that enjoyed this last fling also. Fishing wasn't too good though. Carol and Gary Haskell and daughter Cory and son Steve went camping up in the Friendship area of Wisconsin this past weekend. They didn't go fishing this time but went scouting for a good place to go deer hunting with 'Bow and Arrow*. This time is coming up soon, Sept. 18 til about Nov. 18. A good time was had looking and of course i their an­ ticipation is even greater.

GOD BLESS Circulation Day Is Free To All "By putting things which are no longer useful to us back into cir­ culation we create a vacuum in our lives and in our homes and thus draw to us everything we need", states the Rev. Dee Farr. To anyone who would like to see a practical demonstration of this principle, the Rev. Farr ex­ tends a -warm invitation to Unity Center of the Living Christ's Cir­ culation day which wi Saturday, Sept. 11, from p.m. The people of Unity have been searching their homes from the ce'lars to the rafters for all manner of treasures no longer suited to their particular needs. On Saturday these items will be offered-free of charge-to the public. No money changes hands. Unity Center of the Living Christ is located at 3 Chalet drive at the in­ tersection of 14 and 31 in Crysta' Lake. One glimmer of encouragement for farmers came during the Federal Land Batik association of DeKalb- Woodstock annual meeting when 680 farmers'and their wives gathered,at the Blue Moon restaurant in Elgin. John Webb, president of the farmer- owned cooperative established to provide financing for long-term agricultural needs, said the "current downtrend in interest rates is en­ couraging and if this trend is real and continues after the fall elections the farm sector could see substantial interest savings in 1983". The extremely high level of interest costs during the past 18 months has been a major burden on a segment of the U.S. economy saddled with low commodity prices and inadequate agricultural exports. . Webb pinpointed one measure of the crunch on farm income. "Prospects for farm income are a major deter­ minant of land value changes from year to year," he explained. "Since the first of the year we have had few farm sales. What sales we have had indicate a decrease in land values of from 10 to 25 percent." One veteran director, Bennett Shoop, Elburn, retired from the board, and William Dumoulin, Hampshire, was elected- to a three-year- term to succeed Shoop on the six-member board. Edgar Kirchhoff, Harvard, was reelected to a three-year term. Kirchhoff farms 480 acres in a grain and livestock operation. Dumoulin has a hog and grain livestock operation on 525 acres. He plans to expand his hog operation to market 2,000 hogs a year. He also raises mink. Dumoulin is a member of the St. Charles Borromeo church at Hamp­ shire, president of the Hampshire Library board, leader of the Hamp­ shire Junior Farmers 4-H club and a past member and chairman of the Hampshire high school Ag council. Reporting on the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis, Joseph Vogel, regional credit officer, attributed the financially strong system's present status to the quality of loans and the type of borrowers. Pete Petges, vice-president at Woodstock, said new loans for the 1981 calendar year total 218, amounting to $43*6° million. 'For 1980, 209 loans totaled $35 million. For the first seven months of 1982, however, dollar volume was 55 percent lower than for the same period in 1981, reflecting the stagnant economic condition in the country. Webb said the FLBA and Nor­ theastern Illinois production Credit association expect to move into the new building under construction at Woodstock in October. Another year of father-child clubs is getting under way at the Lake Region YMCA. The clubs are designed for the busy and concerned dad to spend time with his son or daughter in fun-filled activities on a one to one basis. Y-Indian Princesses is for girls in grades first through third and their fathers. Tribes, made up of six to eight families, meet twice a month in homes on a rotating basis for meetings. Once a month all the tribes come together for an outing such as camping, roller skating or square dancing. , „ 0 „> . __ Y-Indian Guides is basically the same program for boys in grades first through third. They also go camping, hold gym rallys. swim or roller skate. Both groups learn about the American Indian heritage while having fun with their dads or sons and daughters. On Friday, Sept. 10, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. there will be an information meeting at the Lake Region YMCA in Crystal Lake. The YMCA is located at 7315 South Route 31. one quarter mile south of Route 14.
