STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Surprise New Mother-To-Be. } * "' Madelone Jumper is expecting her first baby in a few weeks and now she has all the items necessary to bring her little bundle home from the hospital. She thought she was at­ tending a craft show in our com­ munity house Sunday, Nov. 14, until she entered the front door and saw sixteen very familiar faces. They belonged to friends and family members who were shouting 'sur­ prise'. Madelone's mother-in-law Mrs. Jumper and sisters-in-law Charlotte and Florence were the people who planned the surprise baby shower for her. After opening all the beautiful gifts the guests enjoyed the cake Florence baked for the occasion along with coffee and punch. TWO YEARS OLD Sue and Jeff Jordan's son Ben had his second birthday Sunday, Nov. 14. Joel and I invited our family, the Jordans, the Koschers, John, Cathy, Annette, Scott and Joey, plus grand­ ma and grandpa Cserep to our home that afternoon for a party. Lisa and Jami decorated the house with all of Ben's favorite Sesame Street characters to surprise him. The birth­ day boy received lots of neat presents and showed everyone how he plays Superman wearing the cape he got for a present. Grandpa and grandma Jordan came from Arizona to celebrate Gen's birthday on Nov. 18 (also their wed­ ding anniversary) so this little guy did quite a bit of celebrating this year. ALLALONE Mary Ann Dettmer had two weeks all to herself while Wayne took the last of his vacation time and spent it in Montana with Herb and Tctai. She wasn't quite alone, she had the three cats and one dog to greet her each evening when she came home from work. For a person who doesn't really care to have all these animals she had to admit it was a welcome sight to see her four-legged friends at the end of each day. , „ IT'S A GIRL Don and Linda Zaloudec are the proud parents of a girl born Nov. 11, in Evanston hospital.

STOP There is now a stop sign at the south end of Wonder Woods drive as you are altering White Oaks Bay. This has always been a tricky intersection with traffic coming up the hill from White Oaks Bay, and others turning right onto White Oaks road from Wonder Woods drive. Ed Beard, President of White Oaks Bay and Don Krapps, President of Wonder Woods attended a McHenry Township meeting and requested the stop sign as a safety measure. Beard said that he personally, and also on behalf of White Oaks Bay, was grateful to John Regner, the new road commissioner, for his willingness to help and his quick attention to the stop sign matter. For those of us who drive down the street frequently, it will take a little time to become accustomed to the new stop sign, but give it some thought before you get there to avoid a problem. It will be a help in the long run. SPECIAL DAYS Happy birthday on Nov. 28 to Jarret Graff, son of Ken and Mary Jo, who will be blowing out candles on that day.

Program Aids Awareness Of Agriculture In Economy A program to help elementary and high school teachers improve their ability to help students develop a better understanding of agriculture was held in early November. The McHenry County Farm Bureau was one of the main participants in the program sponsored by the Illinois Council on Economic Education, Northern Illinois and DeKalb Ag Research. Reviewing the importance of agriculture to this country, Harris said four out of 10 jobs are directly related to agriculture. Nationally, 3.7 million jobs closely related to actual farming equals the total number of workers in transportation, steel and auto industry. From 15 to 16 million 4>eople are involved to store, tran­ sport, process and wholesale and retail food. Another 3 million provide seed, fer tilizer and supplies. "Farm commodities represent a fifth of ai'l U.S. foreign trade, so in­ come from sales overseas goes a long way toward paying for the oil we import," he observed. "One major change consumers should be aware of is the fact that U.S. access to foreign markets is under attack because many other countries now have the capability of producing grain for world trade. That reduction in exports hurts the agricultural community and also makes worse our balance of trade." Harris discussed a variety of educational aids available to McHenry county teachers from the Farm Bureau. They include a com­ prehensive "Farm in the School" teaching guide, film strips, educational displays, pamphlets, audio visual materials, and specially prepared brochures. "We'd like to help you help students understand their food comes from someplace other than a grocery store," said Harris. "We will also help arrange field trips for your students," he offered. Regner At Educational Conferences For Officials SPEAKS ON DRUGS Students in grades 6 through 12 are given an invitation to meet Dave Story, nationally known drug speaker, ex-motorcycle gangster and cham­ pion arm wrestler. He will speak at the Johnsburg Community club Thursday night, Dec. 2, at 7 p.m. John C. Regner, highway Com­ missioner of McHenry Township, was among the approximate 2,000 delegates and guests who attended the Diamond Jubilee Educational con­ ference sponsored by the Township Officials of Illinois (T.O.I.), held in Springfield. Among the featured speakers were Illinois Secretary of State Jim Edgar, Senate President Philip J. Rock, and Edward Krueger, president of the National Association of Towns and Townships. The speaker for the conference's annual' banquet was former Secretary of A griculture Earl Butz. The association (T.O.I.) is com­ prised of nearly 12,000 officials from the 1,432 townships in 85 counties across the state. Member townships receive information concerning legislative activities, proper functions of their offices and development of new programs for that unit of government. T.O.I, also acts as a clearing house for information for both state and federal legislators. McHenry township is an active member of T.O.I. General and divisional sessions of the 75-year-old state organization were designed to give the delegates a new insight on laws affecting town­ ship officials, the need for efficient, accurate property assesssment, budget and levy procedures, new developments in the administration of township General Assistance, and a report on national legislation af­ fecting Illinois townships. "This was one of the best con­ ferences I have ever attended. I am sure that the people of my township and I will benefit from my at­ tendance," Regner said.
