The girls gave a Mothers Tea two weeks ago and the special guest was a cosmetologist. She taught them all about skin care and how to keep their skin healthy. Their participation helped them earn a badge. When the demonstration was over everyone enjoyed the cupcakes, cookies and punch that was served. The girls' latest handwork was making magnets and colored posters of a girl scout holding a bear's hand with cookies. CLEARVIEW VISITS What a pleasant surprize we had when Herb Dettmer came knocking on our door March 12. He was home on leave from the Air Force all last week and spent his time visiting old friends. While here he stayed with his parents Wayne and Mary Ann who reside on Clearview. How nice of him to be here when I asked for news from that street. PARK LANE Steve and Anne Moore live on Park with their family and they have news to share with us. Their daughter Suzanne turned 10 years old on March 10 and there was a total of 10 girls at her party that day. On Saturday, the 12th, another party was given for the birthday girl. Guests that day Were grandpa John and grandma Blanche Blaney; grandma Anna Moore; uncle Ron and aunt Pat Castiglione, with their children Christie, Michael and Jean; aunt Mary Cairns and her son John Paul; and her godparents Bob and Pam Schneider and their son Scott. The highlight of the day was the delicious lasagna dinner Anne served for everyone. Rich and Carolyn Lachel, also from Park lane, celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary on March 19. They got a sitter for Carol and had a night on the town. REUNIONS PLANNED Bethesda Lutheran school in Chicago is having a 30-year an­ niversary this June and they are looking for any alumni to attend. So many people seem to be moving up here and they thought I could reach some of the missing students through this column. You don't have to be a graduate of the school, all students in the school's 30 year existence are invited. The class of 1963 at Prospect high school in Mount Prospect is also getting a reunion together for Aug. 13. For further information give me a call at 385-7246. RESPONSE IS GREAT I appreciate the response of residents since I began naming three streets each week, asking for news. Is there anything happening on Flower, Prairie and Beach that we can share with our readers? I look forward to your calls. HAPPY BIRTHDAY We wish a very happy birthday to Ron Nystrom, Barb Borchardt, Art Kreutzer Jr., Bobby Hutt, Mike Grothman and Kathryn Wagner on March 23. Elizabeth Ellen Johnson turns 11 years old on the 25th and she shares that date with John Mueller, Ann Dawson and Ken Miller. John Licastro Sr., adds another year on March 27. March 28 is the day Christine Tiffany hears the birthday song. Steven Hutt and Florence Piasecki share March 29 for their birth date. BROWNIE NEWS Brownie Troop 407 said goodby to one of their leaders two weeks ago. Mrs. Nora Seifert has left to pursue an MA degree and her schooling will take up all her time. Sue Danielson has taken her place as a co-leader for the girls. The troop is busy making Easter baskets for the children's ward in McHenry hospital. They will gladly accept donations of items to put in the baskets. Nickel Day in February was a fabulous success and they unanimously agreed to treat them­ selves at a local restaurant this week. Valley View's fun fair is March 26 and the girls will help clean up, which gives them one more point towards the Brownie B badge. McHenry county corn growers are involved in a majpr election process as the state's farmers vote on members for the Corn Marketing board March 29-30. The election will be held at the county Extension office in Woodstock during regular office hours on those two dates-8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Three candidates are seeking the District I berth on the 15-member board. They are Stanley Boehne, Shabbona; Max Kuster, Joliet; and Robert Hamman, Naperville. District I is comprised of nine northeastern Illinois counties. Altogether, 55 farmers are cam­ paigning for the 15 seats. Two of the three seeking the District I post sent resumes to the McHenry County Farm Bureau. One-Stanley Boehne-- asked to appear before the McHenry County Farm Bureau board, and he talked at the March 9 meeting to outline how he perceives the board should function. Those who supported the corn checkoff proposal believe major funding should go toward market development. Efforts to improve production can come later when that phase of the farming cycle needs help. Boehne farms 800 acres near Shabbona in southern DeKalb county. He raises corn and soybeans and has a small livestock operation. He has been a member of the DeKalb County Corn Growers since 1974 and is its current president. Said Boehne: "The expanded cooperation with the U.S. Feed Grains council for foreign market develop­ ment, along with more extensive- ethanol and corn sweetener promotions at the domestic level, and our commitment for long-term research are ways I'd like to see the checkoff funds used." Hamman,. who farms 1,900 acres near Naperville in DuPage county, raises 1,300 acres of corn. Both Hamman and Boehne are active in the Illinois Corn Growers Association. r^uti u - r i^i/\ii > • "New markets and new product development are important to the corn industry," says Hamman. "There is too much duplication in the area of production research. More time and money should be spent developing ways to sell and use corn."

Carolyn Shine, Club Reporter IF If I had a million in the bank I would have a million friends, But if my car had an empty tank, That's where friendship ends. If I had a large estate I'd have plenty of company, But if I lived in a crate No one would visit me. If I had a private lake My fishing friends would call, If each of my meals were steak, My tablp. would be too small. If I had a pickup truck And an acre with trees in droves, It would be my luck They have all wood burning stoves. ing inTe If I had They'd come from miles away, Just to keep themselves cool And pass the time of day. But I have none of these, And enjoy my way of life, I have, no one to please Except my beautiful wife.
