WEDNESDAY,OCTOBER 24,1V04 's focus is on the plight of modern farmers in America DES MOINES, Iowa - A new motion picture on the plight of family fanners fighting to keep their )and ha* the potential to become the "Grapes of Wrath" of the 1980s, an official of one Iowa farm group says. The movie Is "Country," a $12 million film starring Jessica LangeandSamShepard. Directed by Richard Pearce, It dramatizes one Iowa family's fight to stay on the land and buck federal' bureaucrats seeking to foreclose on its farm. "I think it's going to have a pret­ ty significant impact across the country," said David Qsteodorf, director of the Midwest office of Rural America, which acted as a consultant for the film. "1 think that it's going to bring the grim reality of the situation that many of our people face right now Into the lives of countless peo­ ple across the country and in the cities," Ostendorf said. "They're going to get a real sense of what's going on out here in rural America. I think it's goln to portray it as nothing else that know of to this point." In the p^st three years, countless news accounts have been written and filmed about rural people who are being forced off farms at a more startling pace than even during the Great Depression years. But Ostendorf said a major mo­ tion picture depicting the situation could have a more profound im- "bringing the reality of the home" to the American public. He said the film also could trig­ ger public support for reform of Farmers Home Administration Jj rules and regulations that Rural 9! America and other farm groups are seeking, similar to changes in laws affecting migrant workers that followed the release of "The Grapes of Wrath" In the wake of the Depression. However, Ostendorf said political reform was not the Intent r of the film. | v "I think there's been times in i > the past when motion pictures have had that kind of impact." to write an Ostendorf said. "I think mere's some possibilities. I don't know if 1 want to say at this point that this is definitely what would happen with this film but I think it's got the potential of doing that." "Country," which was filmed near Dunkerton In east central Iowa and enlisted some local Iowans in small parte, will be a "real morale builder" and pro­ vide a "psychological boost" for many farm families teetering at the brink of bankruptcy or who ilready who have been forced out of business, Ostendorf said. "I think it's going to be a real boost for farm families Who are in trou­ ble because the film is a recogni­ tion of their plight as probably has never been done in recent years and! think it*Si going to give them some renewed strength and renewed hope and a feeling that somebody cares." The film Also touches on pro­ blems associated with the economic situation on the \ that have been "hidden,." issues such as depression, suicide and "the kind ofviolence that's afoot it the countryside -- self-inflicted and otherwise," Ostendorf said. "The more that we can open up that issue publicly, the better off farm families are going to be," said Ostendorf, whose group has organized legal, political and Prevention and cure of colds are elusive goals to be brought to the surface and the film does that, too," "Country" also will be a direct benefit to Rural America's farm crisis project, which will receive the proceeds from film's premier In Washington Monday and a private screening and invitational party with the cast in New York City held the last weekend In September, Ostendorf said. McCormack Editor NEW YORK - From garlic buds to chicken noodle soup and Linus Pauling's fabled vitamin C, remedies ana preventives of all kinds do battle with the common cold -- especially during the not- always-good old fall and winter. Prevention and cure, the goals, remain elusive. The evidence: despite the ferocity of efforts of trying to avoid colds, get them anyway. < When one of the estimated 200 or more viruses believed capable of causing the common cold strikes, there follows an ap assortment of mild symptoms mat may include runny noses, stuffy noses, muscle aches and red-rimmed eyes. Influenza, by contrast, is not mild. It's symptoms include fever/* "POLISH-AMERICAN SMORGASBORD" WE HAVI SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE! * *- . 217 N. Rt. 31, McHenry, IL (815)344-0330 5011 E.

Symptoms of the common cold go away in six or seven days at the most -- two or three at the least, says Dr. R. Gordon Davis, who talked about both the common cold and flu during an interview. "You get colds from people," said Douglas, chairman of the Department of Medicine, Cornell Medical Center and physician in chief, New York Hospital. "If you stay away from people who have colds, you probably HMMCOUtoNHI wouldn't get a cold." Douglas, an infectious disease expert, said there is no evidence, by the way, that a person can get a cold from -- well, the cold. Being out In the cold or Just being cold. No one knows why an ancient custom was to wear a garlic bud around one's neck to protect one from colds. But Douglas said that perhaps the odor of garlic kept people away. The garlic wearer maintained a kind of personal Isolation chamber while going about his business. If you have a remedy that works, you ought to use it, says Douglas. That goes for chicken soup, vitamin C or even a little warm bourbon. He said steam and warm fluids seem to loosen up stopped up secretions that cause stuffiness when one has a common cold.

SAM-t JpgSSsf '80s protest song By Bruce Olson United Press International W YORK - Peter, Paul and the folk trio synonymous the anti-war movement In the 1960s, finally has written a protest song. ' ' W* It Is called "El Salvador" and is being released In early November through a unique distribution net­ work of grass-roots political organizations. Paul Stookey penned the tune about 18 months ago and the trio has been singing it at benefits around the nation during the past four months. They decided to make the record because of 'a sense that Americans are changing from the apathy of the 1970s to a mood resembling that of 21 years ago, when the group's recording of Bob Dylan's "Blowln' In the Wind" reached No. 2 on the Billboard chart. Peter, Paul and Mary began «. together in Greenwich dubs in 1961 and recorded a series of other hits In the 1960s, Including "If 1 Had a Hammer," "This Land is Your Land" and "Don't Think Twice It's All Right." ^ : None of these hits, however, was written by the group and none fell Into what Mary Travers terms "political, as opposed to ethical, songs." "Tve never been a cynic," said Travers, whose trademark voice Is as clear as ever. "But in the 70s, I had to wonder: 'Where are the good guys?'" >4 iaH 1 1 1 Manday & Friday M: JQ aad Thursday 9:IH:N Saturday 9:IM:N "47Locations in 8States' • WOOMTOCK 1230 DAVIS ROAD (BY PASS RTES.14S 47) _ WOODSTOCK . 115436-1440 BUY 1 ROLL...
