Tollway
State Senator Robert McClory of Lake Bluff, memb(M- of the Illinois Toll Highway Commission Advis¬ ory Committee, visited Huntley Friday and conmerred with a number of the business and civic leaders who rated Senator McClory a loading candidate for Huntley in the new 12th Congressional Dis¬ trict (comprising of Lake, McHen¬ ry and Boone. Counties'.
He found that principle interests among the business community centered on the proposed tollway interchange on Rt. 47 and the Northwest toll highway. Senator McClory assured the Huntley busi¬ ness and community business lead¬ ers that the Toll Highway Com¬ mission is preparing a study and a priliminary engineering plan for the proposed interchange. It is contemplated that such an inter¬ change would be developed jointly by the state highwax and the Toll way Commi-ssion necessitating an approciation of funds by the state for the puriK)se of preparing and constructing approaches to the toll highwax'.
II is contemplated further that the county might take tho acquisi¬ tion of rightof-way for the ap¬ proach.
Senator McClory, in addition to his service on the Illinois Toll High way Advisory Committee, is chair¬ man of the Senate Committee on highways, traffic regulations, and if elected to Congress, is expected to continue his interest in high¬ ways and traffic safety.

Mr. M. E. Gahan Superintendent Huntley High School Lincoln Street Huntley.  Illinois Dear Mr. Gahan
At a time when high schools suffer frequent attack because of some alleged shortcomings in their work, I am happy to tell you of the success of one of your graduates in his freshman year at Bradley University. Bruce Wober was sel¬ ected for a semester of accelerated study in freshman English and completed that work so successful¬ ly that he has been exempted from further composition on the fresh¬ man level.
1 hope that you will share with his teachers our appreciation of the excellent preparation for college which Mr. Weber received at Hun¬ tley   High  School.
Your sincerely, (signed) Olive B. White Head, Department of English

New Circular on Minimum Tillage If you want to lower costs and reduce soil losses, you will be in¬ terested in a new Illinois publica¬ tion on minimum tillage.
The University of Illinois College of Agriculture publication is Cir¬ cular 846, Planning a Minimum Tillage System for Corn, by H. P. Bateman and Wendell Bowers, pro¬ fessor of agricultural engineering. The circular i savailable from my office.
The circular is available from my age systems: plow at regular time and then plan with a minimum of intermediate tillage; prepare the seedbed and plant in two opera¬ tions; or prepare the seedbed and plant in one operation. A combina¬ tion of these tillage systems—illus¬ trated in this circular—may more readily meet the soil needs on a particular farm. Fewer Trips
Fewer trips across the field will reduce tillage costs. Expert plow¬ ing prepares a uniform seedbed. Tilling the soil at the correct mois¬ ture content results in a well-pul¬ verized seed zone. Suggestions for tillage accessories and other mini¬ mum-tillage machines are included in the circular.
Authorities estimate that only about half as much soil erosion oc¬ curs with minimum tillage. Soils with a serious erosion problem may receive even more benefit from minimum  tillage.
Corn yields on experimental and demonstration fields have averag¬ ed the same for minimum tillage as for conventional tillage. Illinois farmers and experiment stations in other states have confirmed this result. Urea in Dairy Rations
Urea is not a magic additive that will guarantee higher milk produc¬ tion than regular protein supple¬ ments. However, tests show that urea is just as good as the protein it replaces in the dairy ration. A decision whether to buy feed con¬ taining urea should he based on the price per pound of total protein supplied.
The maximum amount of protein that urea can safely replace has been set at approximately one third of the total protein equiva¬ lent of the ration. You can check CONTINUED   ON   PAOE   TWO
Apptitude Test For Seniors
All senior students at Huntley High School will he tested April 18, 1962. The to>st is a general ap¬ titude test battery sponsored and given by thp Illinois Employment Service. The test will include test¬ ing each student in apptitudes for 600 jobs, 23 fields o foccui)ation and 9 basic aptitudes.
The tesl will be given at thp Huntle>- High Sehool and will last all day.
A battery ot counselors will study the results of these tests and return to the Huntley High School for a personal counselling session with each senior student at a later date.
Regardless if you plan to go to college or not this test and follow up will prove very worthwhile? to pou in your search for success in a vocation.
March P.T.A.
On March 30, 1962 a panel of teachers will explain children's IQ tests and the great differences in abilities thai teachers find in everj classroom. Perhaps parents will be helped to undprstand that often, when their children get poor grades, the fault belongs to no one, neither the child nor the teacher; but the child doesn't have th(< ability to do better. Without Ihis understanding, parents and teachers may overwork, punish or criticize children unjustly, which may just aggravate the situation. Some written materials on this subject has been prepared for those attending this meeting to read and keep. Perhaps you will have ques¬ tions these teachers can answer.
If you believe this sort of PTA I)rogram is desirable, please come and support it. Such an indication on your part may promote more of such   programs.
