At approximately 7:30 this morning Huntley residents were sliaken by an explosion at Power Park which rocked houses as far as a milej away. Huntey firemen responded to the blast immediately with two pumpers, a tank truck, and the resque truck. Upon ariving at the far; south east coner of the park Huntley firemen came unto the above pict¬ ured hole which was about 5 foot wide and 3 or 4 foot deep and smoking. Firemen drew back when popping noises came from the hole. The ex¬ plosion was said to have been caused by discarded chemicals which had buried by the fireworks company.

group of dOamm txom, naloaB parts of the township were alao present. *' «
All three budgets (K > and Bridge, General Assistance and Town fund) were approved by the board.

On Saturday the local chapter of the N.F.O. commenced to picket the parking lot enterence of the Dean's Milk Plant in Huntley. However as of Tuesday the Team¬ sters Union was not honoring their picket ine.
Soime processors have signed contracts in Wisconsin, Minnes¬ ota, Missouri, and Nebraska. More are ctil'mg to discuss it. Some Union trucks refiise to operate in sympathy with the farmers. Labor Unions have come out in favor of the farmer in  Wisconsin.
Many farmers have sacrificed their milk money now for two weeks, not for their own benefit, but for all other dairy farmer.s. Many made as much as 3,000 lbs per day at $4.80 cwt. This amounts to $14,004 per day or about $2,016.
These cows still had to be fed and milked and taken care of. Much of this $2,016 is expense, which still has to be paid.
Many of these will keep on hold¬ ing until this is won. It seems many other's could join and helpf' in this. There have been some members who have run out of hay, and other's who have enough have helped out. We're all in this together. If we all stick together we can win. We are entitled to a fair share as well as the rest of the economy.
