PAGE 4 - P1A1NDEALER-FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 3. 1W4 general News Confusing news on foreign and home fronts MCC seminar builds confidence The McHenry County College Re-Entry program has scheduled a number of seminars that could benefit people who are prone to problems such as "going blank" at test time and not remembering what they have just read.

How come we lend or give millions and billions to foreign countries, then their banks and other big businesses come over and take over our financial or industrial institutions?

Then we saw a lineup of 5,000 people waiting to apply for 200 jobs. Balancing the budget is another thing I have heard since reaching the voting age. I'm waiting. Why not turn that department over to a group of housewives? Most of them have had to balance the budget in their homes for years. When we spend more than we take in, we are in trouble. Of course, without credit there wouldn't be business. However, many old timers took the stahd that "if you can't pay for it, don't buy it." They weren't so dumb. Joan Houghton tells me I forgot one item when men­ tioning how kids slid down hills. She sailed down the hill in back of the schoolhouse (now Landmark) right to or into Boone Creek in a cardboard box. The days of real sport. It was a happy crowd that joined Ron and Linda Bykowski in opening their new ice cream parlor on Elm St. They have more flavors than Heinz has beans and soups. Put together a friendly, popular pair of people with a tasty product and the answer is bound to be success. An ice cream partbr in winter' months wasn't thought of in my younger days. Old Timers laughed at the idea of eating ice efeam in the winter time. Drug stores had tables set up for the summer months, but stored them when warm weather was over. When Charlie Unti opened an ice cream parlor in the building on Green St. now occupied by McHenry Drapery and Carpet Company, the natives predicted he would go broke. They were fooled. Charlie didn't go broke. Not by a helluva ways. A lady thought I was joking when I mentioned the stock yards in West McHenry. Driving west on Main St., I recalled how Math Thelen had a harness shop where .Roger Freund now operates a tire shop. Turning right between the Schiessle building and the car wash (former location of Wilbur Lumber Co.) I came to the site where Frank Wattles owned the stock yards. It was right on the edge of the railroad tracks where box cars pulled onto the side tracks for loading hogs brought to the yards by farmers. Yep. We had stock yards. Crossing Elm St. into Borden St. made me recall the busy corner where farmers brought their grain to the mill to be ground. They were lined up to take their turn. _ My memory takes me to days when Will Bonslett owned and operated the mill. Later Fred Cooley was the proprietor. When John Bolger took, over management of Farmers' Mill, he built it into a flourishing business. At one time, there was a farm machinery building on the corner. This was in conjunction with the mill and was run by Will Stoffel, a recognized mechanic. North of the mill stood the pickle factory. John Krumpen ran the factory which later was taken over by John May. I sold cucumbers there at a good price during rainy season. But--Oh, my aching back! Picking those cucumbers was a real back breaker. On to Borden's Milk Factory where Tonyan Construction took over. . "Peggy" Feltz was in charge of the little building where they sold sour milk. Buying pails of that sour milk and hauling it home in my little wagon is another memory. Feeding that to the hens always brought up egg production. That's enough. Just the mention of the stock yards got me off and winging ALL CRIME-INCLUDING HOME BURGLARIES- IS INCREASING AT A FRIGHTENING RATE! •ONt FORCIBLE t^APt EVERY ' 6 MINUTES! 1 •ONE ROBBERY EVER1! 5d SECONDS! •ONE BURGLARY EVERY 8 SECONDS!

McHenry Market Place Shopping Center 385-4100 According - to studies being' made by the Waste Advisory Committee to the County Board, it is estimated that a population of 15,000 is served through the city of McHenry's recycling efforts. If the national average of 4.5 lbs of trash generated daily by each individual is used, then this same population of 15,000 is producing about 34 tons of trash daily, or over 12,000 tons per year. Through McHenry's recycling L efforts in 1983. which included the drives held by various organizations, cardboard recycled by the large grocery stores and commercial oil changes, there were over 900 tons of materials recycled. This is approximately seven and one- third percent of the waste stream. This Saturday, Feb. 4, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. the Huntley- Union-Marengo Prairie Com­ mittee of the McHenry County Defenders will be providing the major part of the labor at the recycling vdrive to be held at West Campus Community High School, 4724 W. Crystal Lake Road, McHenry. Recyclable items which the drive will accept are: newspapers with no junk mail or magazines included, used motor oil, cardboard and brown paper bags in easy-to-handle bundles, "tin" cans rinsed and flattened, glass bottles and jars with all plastic and metal removed, aluminum scrap of all kinds, as well as 100 percent aluminum cans. In the case of the all- aluminum cans, the Defenders will pay 33 cents per pound if they are crushed and 31 cents if unfinished. No bi-metal cans are allowed in fife mix. " ' Another recycling activity conducted by the McHenry County Defenders on the second Thursday of each month (Feb.9) is a pay-back for aluminum cans and glass containers: tfie usual price is paid for aluminum cans and 1 cent per pound for glass. This drive is conducted in the rear parking lot of McHenry Quick Oil Changes (4000 W. Elm., McHenry) from 9 a.m. to noon. Entrance is made via Borden Street.
