by Tom Roberts

/ think first of all a little clarification is in order for a p iece featured on the Editorial and Comment page last week. “If it t'weren’t so, it should'a been . "

Apparently some o f the readers presum ed the article was penned by yours truly and therefore was in the wise donkey vein. In the words of the original author, t'weren't so.

The short story describing the woes of a sm all town editor and staff was written in je s t by a local reader, who requested that h is or her name not be used. In satisfying that request we forgot to inquire whether the author was a cousin to the famous penman, Anonymous, and so did not list that relationship at the end. As usual our mistake.

20 20This space is where the organized

person would normally make all his New Year's resolutions known to the public. Fortunately. I'm too disorganized and besides, no one ever stick s to their resolutions after the first week.

Aw, what the heck, if I don ’t make them this year, I never will.

20-20Resolution No. 1

I hereby solem nly swear never to be late again (might as well tell the big He first and get it out of the way. right?)Resolution No. 2

I prom ise to get every typographical error corrected before press time. May Archie the cockroach stir In his grave. (Archie the cockroach was a favorite and legendary column figure created by Don Marquis which ran in the New York Sun in the 1920's.) Resolution No. 3

Under no circum stances during the coming year will this reporter fail to walk large, black dog when said dog proclaim s the time to be ripe, (the one and only resolution which will be followed to the letter, for more than obvious reasons.)Resolution No. 4

I will not fail to be kind, prompt, and courteous when answering any complaint tor any mistake; no matter if the volume of four letter words used to describe my ancestry is greater than last year, (which I seriously doubt could com e to pass).Resolution No. 5

I prom ise never to win a football poo! again, at least until next fall. (So you can relax, members of a recent charity contribution foundation.) Resolution No. 6

I prom ise to vote in this year's presidential election, should a candidate somehow materialize, thus breaking my longstanding anti- politica l position (That's a safe

resolution. A materialization of a decent candidate will be somewhere in between slim and none, un less of course Johnny Carson decides to run.)Resolution No 7

And last but certainly not least, I will do my level-headed best to end my seemingly endless procrastination; the very next time I get around to it. (Why put off 'til tomorrow what you can postpone indefinitely?)

Happy New Year!20-20

The Other Side Of The Office

From Marian

As Christm as Day slow ly pa sses by, Clarence and I are alone as the girls each went their way. We cannot complain about being alone as we were invited to Texas and also to Peoria. We fe lt if we could not go to Texas, we should not go to Peoria either.

In order to break the day, we decided to go out tor breakfast to be with other people. We cou ldn ’t be sad after seeing how many other people were eating out and the w aitresses meeting you with a smile, not caring that they had to work. They w ished us a n ice day which made us feel good and not caring that we had to come home to an empty house.

We took our Christmas decorations down so Christm as is com pletely a thing of the past until next year.

They asked on television Christm as Eve. which Christm as really stands out in your mind that you remembered the most. What would your answ er be? Mine was when-a light green doll buggy and a doll with

little ringlets on her head and eyes that c lo sed for her to go to sleep . I thought that was a perfect gift. Clarence said only once as he was growing up can he remember that he got something he asked lor. It was a farm wagon and he said he had deep tracks in the mud ju st pulling It to the barn and back to the house. Quite a difference in gifts now than a few years back.

This week is when we make our New Year's resolutions. Are you saying “ What reso lu tions?" Do yours go flying through the wind as mine do? I told Tom he should make a resolution that I did not have to write this column this year, don't you agree? He can do such a better job than I do. I am going to try to make a resolution to have more local news for the papers this year but you will have to also make a resolution to help me.

Instead of starting the year with a recipe, le t us begin with peace all over the world and may the hostages be freed without bloodshed and war.

A happy and prosperous new year to all o f you.

Thank youThanks to all my customers who remem­

bered me at Christinas with cards and gifts. Happy New Year!

Running for 55 years, Charliea <Dennewitz is still full of steam

by Tom RobertsWalk into the place and the

darkness and clutter is only superseded by the feeling of old age and history of a past now forgotten by many, if not most of the town’s people.

But it’s a neat place, this business owned by Charlie E)ennewitz for the past, oh let’s see, about 55 years. A place young and old alike can spend all day at, just looking at row on row of odd thing-a-ma-bobs, whatcha-ma- jigs, and antique tools of every size and description.

Charlie Dennewitz was bom Nov. 3,1900, and raised on a farm south of the Piper City cemetery. He is the son of William Dennewitz and grew up in the Piper area.

It wasn’t until Dec. 15 that he moved to Chatsworth and began business in his blacksmith shop. He bought the shop from F.R. Beckman on Dec. 8 but still had some threshing to do and waited a week. But that’s all he waited and Dennewitz Bros, has been going strong ever since that date.

I was runnin’ the shelter and had some shelling problems so I told him to stay in the shop until the 15th and I’d take over then.” Charlie said.

In those days, the shop was 32 feet wide and 70 feet long. In the fall of 1940, Charlie decided that more space was in order, so the front part of the building was torn off and a much larger shell was built around the building. The present shop is now 64 feet by 130 feet, with only about

half of the original building still standing inside.

Blacksmithing and machining may be the true loves of Charlie, (he

built his forge 56 years ago) but threshing has to rate right up in the top three. The look is in the face and the eyes twinkle just a bit if you look real close.

He started threshing “when I was about 18,” working on farms in the Piper City area. And not as a go-fer either, working at just about every aspect of the large operation.

“I was runnin’ and operatin’

tractors.“You see lots of farmers had in

those days what you call a threshing ring. You’d thresh for that whole bunch, but shelling you did for individuals who asked for your help.”

cut that and get it shocked (wheat) and that took several guys a couple days to do. Then you had to let the shocks stand for a week or 10 days,” said Charlie.

"Then the 80 acres could be threshed in a day or so. You take those threshing rings, why they have all the way from 20-40 guys; a bunch on bundle wagons, pitchers, grain scoopers, and grain haulers. It was a big gang in those days.”

And if the threshing rings have since gone by the wayside due to modern farming machines, the lore and love of the steam driven machines is far from dead.

Dennewitz and fellow steam machine lovers gather annually at steam reunions, most notably the Pontiac Thresherman’s Reunion. That one has been in existence for 31 years and Charlie has been at every one.

He started setting up displays of steam apparatus in the last 10 years and has been a director representing Illinois at the national steam reunion in Ohio for the last eight years.

The Ohio National reunion is the oldest in the country and to Charlie’s knowledge, the Pontiac one is the second oldest.

Fifty-five years of smithing and machine work and Charlie Dennewitz shows no sign of slowing his pace any. Could be he’ll outlast his many prized hammers.

Tom RobertsThunder struck the Bluebird team

which gave up its 13 point lead in the fourth quarter, falling to the Odell Rams, 64-60, in non-conference game Friday night.

The Bluebirds had led for most of the contest, after Odell scored from the opening tip. They led 20-10 in the first quarter and paced that lead to 34-24 at the half. They were even ahead by 13, 54-41, at the end of the third quarter.

Then with 6:22 remaining in the game, the roof fell in. Top scorer and center Scott Aberle twisted his ankle while shooting and had to leave the game. With him went the Bluebirds’ scoring attack.

The Rams then rattled off nine straight unanswered points while at the same time, shutting off the inside game of Chatsworth, pulling within four with only 4:04 left in the game.

The Bluebirds only scored four points in the entire last quarter, a two pointer by Joe Weber and two free throws by Alan Thomsen and Weber.

With 1:45 left to go, the Bluebirds almost pulled out of their tailspin; Weber blocked a Ram shot, but Odell’s Pat Stadel stole the ball and laid up the two pointer, pulling to within two points.

Then Mike Carrico was called for reaching in and the Rams capitalized with two charity tosses, tying the score, 58 all.

The ’Birds tried to work the ball inside, but to no avail. Weber had two shots blocked and both times a Bluebird r“bounder was fouled but made only one free throw.

Odell took time out with 24 seconds left and had possession of the ball with the score tied. They came out in the stall, forcing Chatsworth to

Methodist carolers make roundsThe weather man provided a beautiful,

warrri evening for our caroling party this year on Wednesday, Dec. 19. There were no snow flakes, with temperatures above 40 degrees but the Christmas spirit was there. There were 23 members of the United Methodist children's choir (perfect attendance) and their director and two assistants and we walked much of the way When riding, we filled two stations wagons and a car. We walked to ten houses and rode to four more, too far to walk. Everyone welcomed us and we wished them all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as we left.

Choir members were David Kramer, Danny, Karen and Martin Weaver, Lara and Mark Elliott, Stephanie and Brian Hoelscher, billy and Brenda Sharp, CTteri Walker, Tanimy and Michael Wilson, Tim and Nick Kubiak. Jason and James Friedman, Steve Moore. Ginger Clark, Cheri Kietzman, Renee Lade, Tom and Bruce Takasaki, their leader. Beryl Irwin and assistants, Lana Friedman and Barbara Schade. Car drivers were Mary Hoelscher and Rev. Hale.

It was growing dark and we were getting hungry and tired so we went back to the Educational building where Barbara Clark and Shirley Kietzman had prepared a de­licious Hot dog feat.” Rev. and Mrs. Hale and Barbara Schade assisted them in serving us. We are most appreciative to them and to the L'.F.O. class for their financial help.

After playing a few games, we went home

about 6 p.m. Our only regret w as that we could not reach many more homes, but w e thought of you and sincerely wish all of you 'A .Merry

( hristnias and a Happy New Year.”

Roosters, it is claimed, lay eggs in Kansas but John Silberzahn found some of his does also. He selected a nice young rooster a few days ago for a fry. When he dressed it he found it filled with unlaid eggs. John is being Kidded' a good deal, but still such roosters are

valuable property just now with fresh eggs selling around 75c a dozen. This “rooster” was a Plymouth Rock.

Everett King of Saunemin has been chosen by the directors of the Illinois Farmers Co-operative association to pfianage the hard­ware and implement department of their store in Chatsworth and will begin his duties about Jan. 1.

CIPS starts 'smibber' to permit Illinois coal use

A new $121 million "scrubber” system at Newton Power Station of Central Illinois

yhiblic Service Co. was declared fully operational by the utility on Sunday (Dec. 16). The facility will enable CIPS to continue using high-sulfur Illinois coal for generating electricity, while meeting state and federal standards for environmental quality.

Technically called a double-alkali, flue-gas )|desulfurlzation system, it was declared

operational following results of tests monitored by the Illinois Environmefita) Protection Agency.

The state KPA reported by letter to Q K ^ t “ results indicate compliance (with sulfur

dioxide emission standards) by a substantial m argin." The agency stipulated that compliance with other state air pollution control standards - generally more rigid than federal standards — had been proven previously.

R. J. Grant. CIPS environmental affairs coordinator, said the state's acceptance of the new system "assures that CIPS will be able to continue its long tradition of using Illinois coal and contribution to the state's economy.

“Illinois has abundant coal reserves, but 9^our coal is high in sulfur and chloride. Our new

system at Newton reduces those problems to a point well within government air quality guidelines. -We've been working toward development of this system for seven years

The Soviet Union is 10 years ahead of the United States in using scientific research to' help top athletes set new records, a University

^ of lUinois sports scientist says.Charles Dillman. professor of physical

education at Illinois and sports and me^cine coordinator for the U.S. Olympic Ski Team, was one of five U.S. scientists selected by the American College of Sports Medicine to participate in an international symposium on biomechanics in Moscow this past September.

Dillman reported results of his research on the body movements of cross-country skiers, talked with leading Soviet coaches and sports scientists, and toured research and training facilities.

“The Soviets make winning in international competition an important national goal and they use scientific knowledge to reach that goal.” Dillman said.

"The Soviet government, therefore, pro­vides money every year to support research and advanced training for coaches. Through­

- o u t the nation, coaches and teachers work to * identify talented young athletes wdw are given

special training at regional sports institutes."This year the equivalent of about $8 million

was allocated for sports research while the U.S. government provides virtually no such support. Dillman said.

^ With funds provided by the U.S. Olympic Committee and the Olympic Ski Team. Dillman uses slow-motion movies to study the movements of the nation's top skiers. He identifies exactly what skiers can do to improve their speed and control, and advises the team's coaches.

i# "The application of scientific knowledge to coaching on a systematic and continuous basis is both new and quite rare in the United

States," he said. "The sports medicine program with our Olympic skiers is a pioneering project. In the Soviet Union, such programs are well established.

"The Soviets have a national communica­tions network between coaches and research-

New scientific information reachescrs.the United remains in

coaches quickly. Too often in States, useful knowledge only academic journals."

The quality of Soviet research is high, he said, but scientists do not have some of the sophisticated equipment available in the United States.

Slow-motion movies, for example, required for sport biomechanics research, cannot be filmed quickly in the Soviet Union because cameras conunon in the United States are not available there, he said.

Among the Soviet training methods Dill­man saw:

-Using machines to control an athlete's movements so that the most effective series of movements is learned.

-Wiring a shot-putter to a computer-control­led device which sends a mild jolt of electricity to sele^ed muscles to make them contract at exactly the right moment for the strongest possible “put."

-Monitoring the effect of a workout by analyzing blood samples and muscle activity so that overtraining, which destroys muscle tissue, can be detected and prevented.

Dillman said the Soviet system of identify­ing talented athletes and using scientific knowledge to improve performance will be an important factor in the 1980 Olympics. The Soviet athletes should win gold medals in weightlifting, cross-country skiing and gym­nastics as well as in several other sports, he said.

The livingston County Soil and Water Conservation District selected Feb. 20,1900 for the second “Conservation Tillage Day” at their regular board meeting on Dec. 4. The Day will be held at the Moose Home in Pontiac and will feature speakers on energy conserva­tion, zero-till planting, and the management involved in chisel plowing.

A.G. Taylor, assistant director, EPA, discussed with board members the document and plans of the new project that will be underway in another month or so at the livingston county SWCD. A meeting has been scheduled in Springfield to co-ordinate the project with the other three districts involved. Those attending are Roger Austin, Paul Seggerman, and Carol Johnson.

Up for re-election this year are board members Norman Young, Rogtr Austin, and Lee Bunting. Election of board members for the District will be held at our Annual meeting on Jan. 17, 1960, at the Elks Country cluh at Pontiac.

District Board members agreed to pur­chase the book "How to Build a Better Outdoors". It will be placed in the Cornell High school in honor of Edward Lyons toe promoting conservation during his Ufe4ime.

A coiiimittee was formed to review the Districts priorities. The committee, including Bob Carroll, Jim Shane, and Les Temke, will report on this at the next board meeting.

Jim Saathoff, Bureau of Soil and Water Conservation, invited the board members to attend the "Modem Farm Expo 79. This exposition M the lastest in farm machinery, farm implements, agricultural products andsystems will be held on Dec. 12 and 13 at the Convention Center in St. Louis.

and are quite pleased with its performance during the testing and start-up phases ''

A major element of the new system is the scrubber itself, which cleanses sulfur dioxide gas from emissions that result from burning Illinois coal. The scrubber, built at a cost of 8108 million, will control sulfur emissions from the station’s initial 57S,000-kilowatt generating unit, which began operation in November 1977.

Waste produced by the scrubber will be processed by a $13 million stabilization unit This feature of the new'system eliminates the need for "sludge ponds” by producing a dry, cake-like substance that will be deposited in a landfill. The non-leaching filter cake " eventaully will be covered with topsoil so the land can be returned to agricultural use.

The Newton pollution control system and a wastewater treatment facility at CIPS' Coffeen Power Station are the elements in a rate case currently before the Illinois Commerce Commission.

The company is seeking a 12 percent increase in electric rates to provide a return on investment in the new facilities and to provide for the cost of operation. If granted, the new rates would produce about $35 million in additional annual revenues to the utility.

CIPS is an investor-owned utility providing electric service to approximately 300,000 customers in 551 central and southern Illioola communities. The company also distribiitaf natural gas to approximately ] i ^ d | | customers in the same area.

A new Series EE savings bonds which go on sale effective Jan. 1,1900, will be called United States Energy Savings Bonds, Series EE, and will receive a ^ percent bonus if held to maturity.

The interest rate on U.S. Energy Savings bonds. Series EE, will be increased from 6.5 percent to seven percent for bonds held for the full 11 years to maturity. Series E bonds that have not finally matured and U.S. Savings Notes (“Freedom Shares” ) will also receive the percent bonus if they are held for 11 years from the date of the first semiannual interest period that begins on or after Jan. 1, 1980. Bonds and notes redeemed earlier will not receive the bonus.

The redesignation of the bonds as Energy Savings bonds is intended to help focus attention on the national goals of reducing energy consumption and increasing domestic supplies. The tends were knowTi as defense tends before and after World War II and as War Bonds from 1941 to 1945 reflecting the national concerns of those times. The Energy Savings Bonds will assist in financing the

large Federal energy expenditure required ui the coming years.

After June 30, 1900, all U.S. Savings Bonds bought through payroll savings plans will be Energy Savings Bonds, Series EE. Series H and HH Savings Bonds will not be affected by these changes.

One out of every ten persons in Illinois suffers from a speech, language, or hearing disorder, making communication impair­ments the state's number one handicapping disability.

Senator Charles Percy is lending his public support to a campaign sponsored by the American Speech-Language-Hearing associa­tion (ASHA) to increase public awareness of communicative disorders and of the profes­sional help available in Illinois.

"Early detection of speech, language, or hearing disorders may often prevent serious proMema later on,” said Percy. "Unfortunate­ly, many people don't know where to turn for help."

According to ASHA, the 35,000 member non-profit society of speech-language path­ologists and audiologista, most people with communicative disorders can be helped-if their problem is recognised, evaluated, and treated promptly. Nationally, over $1.75 billion in earnings are lost each year due to communicative distnders.

Professional help is available. For infor­mation write the Illinois Speech and Hearing aaaodatkm. 730 Vine street, SpringReld, ID.

SeniorHotLine

What ia the Illinois Income Tax rate?The income tax rate for individuals and

estates is 2.5 percent.What exemptions do senior citixens get in

Illinois?Lach Illinois resident is entitled to claim

the same number of exemptions on the Illinois return as he/ she claims on the federal return. This means that for an Illinois citixen over 65, the exemptions are 12,000 per person.

Do senior citixens have to file state income tax returns?

If you are required to file a federal income tax return, you also must file a state one. However, if you are not required to file a federal return and if you are over 65 and have a gross income under $2,000 or are married and both are over 65-and you have a gross income under $4,000, you n e^ not file (unless you had capital gains deductions or municipal bond interest).

My spouse died in 1979. Do I file a single or a joint return?

You would file a joint return if you took advantage of the opportunity to file a joint federal return.

Are life insurance proceeds subject to Illinois income tax?

No, they not taxable under the Illinois income tax law.

How about my pension benefits and social security payments? How much tax do I have to pay on them?

lljere is no tax on social security benefits. In addition, qualified employee pensions, distributions from Individual Retirement Accounts, Keogh plans, and government retirement or disability plans are also exempt from Illinois income taxes. However, verifica­tion of these exemptions is necessary. Check your IL-1040 booklet (state income tax booklet) for instructions for line 4C. You will find details of documents needed to verify your retirement benefits deductions.

I have some Series E bonds I want to cash ui now that I'm retired. Will the interest accrued over the years now be taxable in Illinois?

No, interest on any direct obligation of the U.S. Treasury is non-taxable, including trea­sury bonds, savings bonds and treasury notes and bills, as well as the Series E bonds.

Where can I get help if I have questions or problems?

The Illinois Department of Revenue has taxpayer assistance persons in all its district offices-Springfield, Chicago, Rockford, Wauconda, Peoria, Rock Island, Champaign, Fairview Heights, Marion, Evergreen Park, West Chicago, Morton Grove and Broadview. In addition, you may call the department toll-free weekdays brtween 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at l-aOO-252-8972. (Try to avoid calling between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. This is the busiest time of the day for the operators and the lines are often busy.)

Unfortunately, many taxpayers have come to believe as fact some misconceptions about the Internal Revenue Service, and because of this, have caused themselves needless worry and apprehension. To clarify some of thse issues, and hopefuUy to allay the doubts these misconceptions may have caused, the IRS has prepared the following (JuesUons and An­swers:

Q. Is it true that if 1 use the peelniff address Ubel, I will more likely be audited?

A. No. the coded symbols on the address label have nothing to do with the audit process. They simply speed up processing by helping to identify taxpayers and the kind of forma contained in the Ux package they receive.

Q. I was audited last year because of my large medical bUls. Does that mean I can expect to be audited every year?

A. Not necessarily. IRS has a program caUed the RepetiUve Audit Procedure, the purpose of which is to see to it that no taxpayer is audited two years in a row on the same issue when there was no change the previous year.

Q. I’ve heard that 1 can claim more deductions if someone outside IRS preparesmy return. Is that so?

A. IRS Taxpayer Service personnel will give taxpayers the benefit of every allowable deduction made known to them by thetaxpayer. .

Q. Does the IRS really have a way of knowing that what I report is ®***®*^

A. The computer system umd by I ^ do« match nooat wage, dhridend,. and Interert reports. For example, U T«* "P®"Interest you received on your savings accomLyou win probably receive a letter from IRS

about your unreported income.Q . Do IRS e m p l o y e e s r e c e iv e a commission

on the money they collect?A. IRS employees, like other g o v e m n ^

employees, work on a sataried b a ^ T ^ amount of money they collect has no effect on the amount of their paychecks.

Q. If I owe IRS and can’t pay right away, wUl they seise aO my property?

A. If you receive a notice from IRS that youowe money, don’t Ignore It even If y<m cm t pay right away. Make arrangements with someone in Collection to pay as m ^ u y w can afford-lt’a called an Instaltoenl A ^roent. On the other hand, if you simply Ignoreall notices and don’t arrange for your wages and property may be subject to levy md seixure.

SOYBEAN RESEARCHScientists believe they have developed a

way to increase the yields of basic food-pro­ducing plants-such as soybeans, according to USDA scientist WUliam Ogren.

Ogren said researchers believe their procedure will result in more beanfilled pods on soybean plants, plus it will increase yields for a variety of other crops, but it will take at least another year before it is determined whether the procedure will work as well in the field as it does in the lab.PRODUCERS LOSING MONEY

Any change in the price of bacon, ham or pork chops at the supermarket will probably come from the processing, transportation and marketing sectors. Prices paid to fanners are expected to decline in the months ahead.

In fact, some livestock producers are already reporting losses of $8 to $10 on each hog sold. This comes at a time when pork demand is running high. Consumers have been buying a lot of pork, partly because beef prices are running higher.STRONG CATTLE PRICES SEEN

Prospects.for higher cattle prices during the first quarter of 1980 siwuld create opportunities for profits during that period, according to Illinois Farm Bureau market analysts.

Sharply reduced placements this fall will translate into lower fed beef supplies early next year, analysts say. Consumer demand is also holding up well.CORN CHECKOFF VOTE SET

Illinois com producers will hold a public referendum on the com checkoff program on March 6.

liCgislation approved by the Illinois Gener­al assembly this past summer authorixes collection of a quarter cent per bushel from producers if a majority of Illinois com producers, who vote in the referendum, favor the plan. The checkoff funds would be used for com research and market expansion activi­ties.STRESS ON THE FARM

U.S. farmers have been termed “Gener­als” in the third world war-the economic war-by Dr. Robert Elliott of the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

Elliott urges fanners to develop ways to cope with the stress they face daily. He said the stress is a factor in causing heart disease and other illnesses.AGRI SCENEJan. 4-5: Sheepman's Holiday and Symposium

Expo Hall, Rosemont.FIRE PREVENTION IN HOME HEATING

Home fires increase in the winter months especially during the holiday season. Seventy- five percent of all fire fatalities occur in residential structures. By eliminating haxar- dous conditions, most fires can be averted. Since a large percentage of home fires are associated with heating devices, the following precautions could avoid disasters:ROOM HEAITNG

Never use fuel-burning appliances without proper vents to the outside. Burning fuel can produce deadly fumes. If you are using such a portable heater in the bedroom, open the window . Ventilation prevents suffocation that can be caused by a heater consuming oxygen.

Be sure your heater is in good condition. A dirty heater is a fire haxard. Keep the heater clear of combustibles that could catch fire. There should be enough space between the heater, wall, and furniture, so that these items do not get too hot. Never use a space heater to dry clothing.

When buying a portable electric heater, select a brand approved by one of the major testing laboratories. Look for a model with a broad, solid base and an automatic cut-off switch, so that it will turn the heater off if it tips over accidentally.

Place the heater out of the way of stairways, doors, and other traffic paths. Avoid using space heaters in the bathroom, and don’t touch one when wet.

When refueling an oil unit, avoid overfill­ing. Cbld oil expands as it warms up and may cause burner flooding and flare-ups. Never add fuel to a heater while it is burning.

Do not use a gas range or oven to heat your kitchen. Not only is there a danger of fire, but potentially deadly levels of carbon monoxide could result. Your range/ or oven should be used for food preparation only-not continuous use.WOOD STOVES

When buying a wood-burning stove, look for sturdy construction of cast iron or heavy steel. Check for danger signs of punctures or cracks. Every stove should have a damper to control the draft.

Leave plenty of room between the stove and walls. The minimum recommended clearance generally is three feet, but the distance can vary according to the construction of the stove and protective wall coverings. Follow man­ufacturers' instructions.

Check to make sure the damper is open before lighting a fire. Use kindling to start it-never gasoline, kerosene, or other flammable liquid to start or freshen a fire.

Winter driving needs; skill plus awareness

Experienced drivers familiar with the cold, snowy winters in the Midwest have their cars prepared well in advance and realise that winter driving requires a change in motoring habits.

Driving on snow, sleet or icy roads is far more difficult than driving on dry pavement. The AAA-Chicago Motor club points out that observance of the following niles can help prevent accidents during the winter months:

-Drivers are advised to leave for their destinations earlier on cold and snowy days. Traffic moves much more slowly under adverse weather conditions. Leaving earlier also will give the driver adequate time to get the car started and clean the windows before leaving. Ice scrapers and snow brushes should be standard equipment in the car.

-Become accustomed to driving at the slower speeds adverse weather conditions demand. Safe, steady speeds, especially on snow packed or icy roads, should be maintain­ed. Avoid sudden starts and stops.

-Allow a greater distance when following. Be alert to traffic ahead. A vehicle in front of you may stop just beyond an icy patch; the extra distance you maintain will enable you to come to a safe stop.

-If your car starts to skid, turn your front wheels in the direction of the slide. This is instinctive with most motorists, but new drivers and motorists encountering a new season sometimes confuse the proper pro­cedures.

Gas supplyMichael V. Hasten, Chairman of the Illinois

Conunerce Commission, recently announced that the coming winter will be met with a sufficient supply of natural gas for Illinois consumers, even if temperatures fall ten percent bdow normal. A survey of Illinois gas utility companies conducted by the Commerce Commission staff found conservation by consumers, more effective exploration and new gas drillings contributed to the increased supply.

10 Reasons why you should increase your advertising...

-Don’t oversteer. Sudden sharp twists of the steering wheel can result in a skid on slippery roads.

-Don’t overbrake. Apply brakes sooner on snow or ice, but more gently and with a pumping rhythm. If the car wheels lock during braking, release the brake pedal for an instant, then apply gradual, light pressure.

-When the temperature hovers around 32 degrees, exercise special caution. Braking distances on ice are twice as great at this temperature than at zero. Treacherous, invisible sleet-ice coatings form under these conditions.

-When going over the crest of a hill and starting down, reduce speed. If necessary, put the car in second gear or low and pump the brakes to keep the speed down under severe icy conditions.

-When parking, think in advance about a way to get out of the space. Leave ample room both in front and behinijl your car if possible, and beware of snow around the curb that may prevent you from getting traction when pulling out.

-If you do get stuck, a bucket of sand and rock salt or cinders kept in the trunk will be helpful. These abrasives along with a shovel to throw them under the rear tires might save waiting for a service vehicle.

^ -Drivers should be constantly on the lookout for chuckholes. Snow, sleet, salt and sand take a heavy toll on streets and highways during the winter months.

by Dr. Lee GarberWith the coming of the automobile and hard

roads, villages and their character as centers of economic, social, cultural, and religious affairs began to decline. Activities of such a nature that were formerly centered in the villages moved into the towns and cities.

Villages reached their peak about 1910. Following this, they began their downward trend. Weston was no exception. While, unlike some, it did not pass out of existence, its importance began, gradually, to dwindle.

About 1910, Weston had four general stores, three grain elevators, two churches, one (part of the time two) physicians, a barber shop, a blacksmith shop, a post office, a railroad depot, a boarding house (sometimes referred to as a hotel since it fed and lodged itinerant drummers or runners, as travelling salesmen were sometimes called in those days), a telephone exchange, an opera house, and a fraternal lodge. (See plat of Weston that follows).

These supplied most of the needs of the residents and those farmers that resided in the area. Today, all of these are gone, with the

exception of one grain elevator, which probably does a bigger volume of business than did all the business enterprises taken together in 1910.

It is doubtful if more than one or two persons now residing in Weston were alive and living there in 1910. Only a few people have any recollection of Weston as it existed at that time. When these older people are gone, all information regarding Weston in its heydey will have been lost.

Any picture of Weston as it was must be obtained from these senior citizens. Without a doubt, the one ‘‘old-timer’’ who knows more about Weston and its early history is C.E. “Bud” Wink, Fairbury. He was bom and reared near Weston and has spent his entire life in this general area. His recollections go back to the late 1890’s. It was Bud who supplied most of the information reported here. ’Three others, who have some recollections of the early days, reviewed the information supplied by “Bud” or checked on items on which he was not quite positive—Mrs. CTiristine Roeseler Jacobs, Pontiac, who was bom and lived near Weston until moving to Pontiac some 10 years ago, and two sisters who were bom and reared

at the outskirts of Weston, went to school there, and spent most of their lives in the area, Mrs. Hazel Farley Leffingwell, Fairbury, and Mrs. Lillian Farley Hanes, Weston.

The plant of Weston, together with the Legend that accompanies enables one to locate aU the families as well as all the various business, social, and cultural enterprises that constituted the village of Weston in 1910.

A word about the accuracy of this material is in order. While recognizing that no one’s memory is infallible, it is believed that this report based on the only evidence available, the memory of early citizens, is accurate as far as names are concerned.

Any inaccuracies that it may contain spring from the fact that it does, in a general way, attempt to locate the residences of the persons or families identified. While it is believed that the locations are accurate as far as city block.s and streets are concerned, it must be admitted it may err, at times, in locating residences with respect to ottier residences in the same block. In any case, the locations are approximately correct and any errors are of minor significance in providing a picture of Weston as it was some 70 years ago.

To e le c t ‘corn board ' in M arch ,I

vote on check-o ff programIllinois Director of Agriculture John Block

has approved a committee recommendation to conduct a com checkoff referendum-and that referendum has been slated for March 6.

That action came following 15 public hearings that were conducted throughout the state in recent days.

Block’s approval sets the stage for Illinois com farmers to hold a public referendum to detemiine if a majority of the state’s com producers favor a com checkoff program. Elections will be held in county extension offices.

Farmers will also elect a 15-member com marketing board in conjunction with the referendum.

Any com producer is eligible' to., seek election to the state board if he opts to participate in program. Petitions may be obtain^ from county extension offices, and from the Illinois Department of Agriculture after Dec. 19.

A fanner seeking election to the board must obtain signatures of 200 com producers in his district, or signatures from at least five percent of the com producers in that district-whichever is less. Petitions must then

CmSSIFIED'1001

be returned to the Illinois Department of Agriculture by Jan. 18.

If producers vote to implement the pro­gram, legislation approved by the Illinois General Assembly this past summer author­izes collection of a quarter-cent per bushel from producers at the First point of sale of the grain.

That money would be used for com research, and market expansion activities.

Tri-Point to host e n erg y m eet

The Ag Department at Tri-Point is sponsoring an energy meeting at the high school over the holidays. The meeting is open to the public as both home and farm applications will be discussed.

The areas of solar and alcohol fuels will be highlighted as well as programs for soil conservation and cost sharing through the Agricultural Conservation program.

Stewart Wamock, a pioneer of over 15 years in solar research, and Merold Yates, director of Research for lAA, noted authority on alcohol fuels, are the main speakers for the program. ’There will be displays as well as representatives from the Livingston Co. SCS office to speak about conservation programs.

’These programs from the SCS include windbreaks, minimum tillage, and related soil conservation work. There will be an opportun-~ Ity (or private discussions with the speakers after the meetings when refreshments will be served.

Two yoara after Whistler was recalled to Detroit, the famous Fort Dearborn massacre claimed the lives of most of the soldiers protecting it.

John Whistler’s grandron was James Whistler, who painted "Portrait of the Artist’s Mother,” better known as “Whistler’s Moth­er.”

Melvin-Sibley students who have had articles published in ‘Illinois History’ since April, 1968, are: Betty Schneider, Merri Rork, Brett Keiper, Greg Brucker, Sue Weber*, Tom Ames (2)*, Teri Harms, LuAnn Richardson (2), Karen Fulton, Mary Deffley (2), Tom Kearney (2)*, SheUy Long, Carol Ames (3)*, Tom Reynolds*.

Low income aid available

'The Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs has begun accepting applications to provide financial assistance to low-income families in an effort to help them meet the high costs of energy, according to Sen. John E. Grotberg, R-ST. Charles.

Families whose annual income is at or below the federal poverty level will be eligible for the energy subsidies, Grotberg said. A non-farm family of four with an income not exceeding $8,375 is eligible for assistance. A farm family desirous of receiving financial help must not have income exceeding $7,125.

Sen. Grotberg said the state agency estimates that approximately $21 million will be available for the home heating program in Illinois. Families who apply for the assistace can receive subsidies up to $300 for this winter season.

” I have been told by the state DeparUnent of C^oiTunerce and Community Affairs that the money will be made available on a first come-Orst served basis,” Grotberg stated. "Therefore persons wishing to participate in the program should apply for the home heating reimbursements immediately.

“Renters will qualify for the money the same as homeowners,” Grotberg continued.

Traffic fatalitiesAccording to the Illinois Department of

Transportation and the Illinois State Police, there were 168 November traffic faUlities iii Illinois, a decrease of 4.5 percent from the 176 deaths in November, 1978. Nineteen people were killed during the Thanksgiving holiday period, down from the 36 fatalities of a year ago. Traffic deaths have dropped 7.2 percent for the first 11 months of 1979 to 1,825, compared to 1,967 for the same period last year.
