()ther business brought up at the , March 16. a bake sale on Washington, D.C., March 2 â€" When the First Deficiency Approâ€" priation Bill of over $90 million was taken up in the House last Monâ€" day, a storm of protest arose over an item of $5 million for the housâ€" ing census. Almost the entire deâ€" bate centered on this single item. A previous appropriation bill for the Departments of State, Comâ€" merce and Justice, passed by the House on February 8th, carried $2,â€" 166,000 for this same census. An exâ€" penditure of approximately $3 milâ€" lion is no small sum, particularly By Ralph E. Church Representative, 10th Congressional on this item of appropriation was not so much on the "spending feaâ€" ture" as upon the nature of the cenâ€" susâ€"on the questions some bright bureaucrats have devised to ask the people, and the severe penalties fixed by law for failure to answer or for deliberate misrepresentations. The interrogatories call for inforâ€" mation as to the market value of your home, as to whether or not you have a mortgage on it and its amount, as to the payments required by the mortgage indebtedness; whether the payments include any amount for reduction of the princiâ€" pal; whether they include real esâ€" tate taxes; what interest is charged on the mortgage and who holds the first mortgage. What one earns and what one owes is the kind of information no man likes to disclose, whether he be rich or poor. Americans are a proud, selfâ€"respecting people. We look upon our faymily affairs as sacred. It is naturally distasteful to John Citizen, who resides in a small community where every resiâ€" dent knows every other resident, to be compelled under penalty of law, to disclose such personal informaâ€" tion to the census takerâ€"a neighbor. John Citizen will also be asked whether he has an individual bathâ€" tub or whether he shares it with someone else, and whether the bathâ€" tub or shower has running water. It is hard to determine how such data, even when collected and anâ€" alyzed, at a cost of 8 million dollars can have any real economic value to the Federal Government. It is not inconceivable that a poliâ€" tical machine or an envious neighâ€" bor may make improper use of the personal information he thus obâ€" tains from John Citizen. The eemun‘ takers will be political appointees. And the New Deal has shown itself to be a poor keeper of confidences. One need only to recall the unlawâ€" ful seizure and publication of priâ€" vate correspondence by the then Senator Black, for which his Comâ€" mittee was censured by the Courts, but the damage had already been done. We need only to remind ourâ€" selves of the periodic Executive orâ€" ders by the President to open to pubâ€" li@ inspection certain information which the Government had previousâ€" ly gathered on the assurance it was confidential. In my view, the nature and charâ€" acter of this census is such that it constitutes a violation at least in spirit, of the Bill of Rights, a priceâ€" less heritage of the American people to preserve the sanctity of the home. The signers of the Declaration of Independence stated as one of the grievances against George III to be the fact that he had "sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people." And the Bill of Rights was placed in the Constitution to proâ€" tect the individual from such "harâ€" rassing." It bas been true all through history, and is true today, that government officials not directly responsible to the people have little regard for personal rights and libâ€" erties. They tend to disregard even the most fundamental rights and liberties of a people if these rights and liberties interfere with their dream plans and theories. ou;fb’ryht'o&omll affaire What William Pitt, Earl of Chaâ€" them, at one time said is worth reâ€" peating: "The poorest man in his cottage bid defiance to all the force of the crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storms may enter; the rain may enterâ€"but the King of England cannot enter; all his forces dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement." The House approved the $5 milâ€" lion item for this census. But the Senate may be of a different mind. It is one thing to conduct a census to get necessary data, but quite anâ€" A class in preparation for church membership is meeting each Saturâ€" day afterncon at four o‘tlock in the thurch, preceding the commmunion on T.: THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1940 Continue Study of Finance Situation At Deerfield School The Board of Education st its regular meeting held on Tuesday, Feb. 20, continued its study of the financial situation at the Grammar school. At this time, consideration was given to the results of the open meeting held on Monday, Feb. 12. The Board of Education expressed its gratitude to the interested citiâ€" zens who attended this meeting and participated in the discussion of school problems. Regular monthly business of the Board of Education was also handled at this meeting. As part of the financial study now being carried on by the board, furâ€" ther investigation is being made in the delinquent tax situation in West Deerfield township. This study i= being carmed on by a jinint commit tee of the taxing boards in the township. Advancement is being made in this program, and further announcement will be made availâ€" able by the committee shortly. In reviewing school expenses for the balance of the school year, the board found it possible to make available the gymnasium to the Badminton groups on special arâ€" rangements. It has also been found possible for the children to make use of the gymnasium the greater part of the time and thus during only exâ€" tremely cold weather will it be necâ€" essary to completely close the gymâ€" nasium. It has, been announced by the Board of Education, however, that no commitments as to next year‘s program can be made at this time. Plans for the 1940â€"41 school year will not be definite until the income of the school for the followâ€" ing year is determined. It was hoped by the board that due to the measâ€" ures now being carried on an inâ€" crease in income will be available for the next fiscal year. The Board of Education is taking steps to make the general informaâ€" tion on the financial situation availâ€" able to all organizations in the comâ€" munity. It is hoped that various orâ€" ganizations will give time for disâ€" cussion of the school financial sitâ€" uation. A detailed bulletin report is to be sent to all parents shortly, explainâ€" ing steps taken to date and giving the details of present developments in the school program. Candidates Meeting To Be Held Tonight In W. Deerfield Twp. The Young Republicans of West Deerfield township have completed their plans for a rousing candidates meeting for Thursday, March 7, at 8 p.m. in the Deerfield Grammar School auditorium, according to anâ€" nouncement made today by Erwin Seago chairman and Arthur Pearâ€" son delegate to the Lake County Federation of Young Republicans. Hugh Cross, speaker of the House of Representatives in Springfield, Harry Hall candidate for States Atâ€" torney, and Drennan J. Slater, canâ€" didate for Congress, will be among the speakers. Representatives from both the Lyons and Green headquarâ€" ters will also be present to speak for their candidates, both of whom are downstate. Women members of the organiâ€" zation are baking cakes to be served at the rally. The indications are that the number of door prizes will be bigger than the committee had planned on. The main prize is an RCA radio now on display in the Royal Blue store. Deerfield C. of C. Plans Erection _ Of a Model Home The Deerfield Chamber of Comâ€" merce at its meeting last Thursday evening planned for a Ladies‘ night on Tuesday, March 26, with a dinâ€" ner meeting at Phil Johnson‘s resâ€" taurant. Clarence Wilson, president, appointed the following dinner comâ€" mittee: Earl Hurt, Lester B. Ball, Gordon Segert and M. A. Frantz. This is to be a public meeting. . Of especial interest to all Deerâ€" field are the plans for the erection of a model home. The committee apâ€" pointed for this project are: Edâ€" ward Segert, carpenter and builder; Edward H. Selig, realtor; Walter plumber, and Dana Corrough, archiâ€" tect. A meeting was held Tuesday evening to discuss plans, specificaâ€" tions and location(probably in Briarâ€" woods subdivision). The model home is being sold next summer and the proceeds will be for the benefit of the village, the grade school, and many local organizations. Edward B. Crush is to be chairman of the advertising committee merce also voted to sponsor a soft ball team this summer. Lange, painter; Milton Frants, The committee in charge of the skating rink in Deerfield this week made a report on the activities of the skating rink to this date. Due to continued cold weather, Deerfield has enjoyed the longest,skating seaâ€" son of recent years. Thus far a total of approximately _ seventy skating days has been available. The increased length of the skating season has somewhat increased the expenses this year. As an additional part of the skating program this season, constant supervision and maintenance of the rink and field house were given through the Receâ€" reation project of the W.P.A. and 'through assistance given by the We«t Deerfield Township board. Reâ€" Rink Season Is Longest in Years ly all of the money spent on the skating rink this season has gone for materials used. All labor apd supervision was donated through the above mentioned agencies. A survey conducted by the committee has shown that the number of acciâ€" dents at the rink this year, in terms of the length of the season, have been very small. Further, the acciâ€" dent rate at the Deerfield rink as compared with other rinks in this area was very favorable. The committee has made superâ€" vision available at the rink on weekâ€" days between the hours of four and tenâ€"thirty in the evening and on Saturdays and Sundays from ten in the morning to tenâ€"thirty in the eveâ€" ning. In order to keep the rink availâ€" able for local patrons, the Deerfield rink committee issued buttons which were sold at a very small cost. It is felt by the committee that this butâ€" ton sale has been very helpful in the operation of the rink. The committee in charge of this rink during this skating season was made up of representatives of difâ€" ferent organizations who have parâ€" ticipated in the sponsorship of the program. The following is a list of the organizations and their repreâ€" sentatives: American Legion, Mr. William Cruickshank; American Leâ€" gion Auxiliary, Mrs. Conrad Uchtâ€" man and Mrs. Charles Kapschull; Parent Teachers association, Mrs. Frederick Ritter; Woman‘s club, Mrs. Ward GauntJett; Civic associaâ€" tion, Mr. Burton B. McRoy and Mr. Lester B. Ball. Mr. McRoy has acted as chairman of the committee and Mr. Cruickâ€" shank as treasurer. The skating rink this season has been financially supported by conâ€" tributions from interested organizaâ€" tions and individuals. It has been the effort of the committee to exâ€" tend its financial support on as wide a basis as possible. The following is a summary of the receipts and exâ€" penditures of the rink to date. Incomeâ€" Sale of buttoms ... Civic association ... Woman‘s B1 ......â€":ss.ssssess American Legion ... American Legion Auxiliary. Expendituresâ€" Grading ..co.uccllll Mercer Lumber Co. ...... Bruce Frost .............. Chandlers ... Miscellaneous expenses Supervision ................... Brand Bros. ... In addition, there has been bought six tons of coal. Three tons were paid for by Mr. McKillip and one ton by the Chamber of Commerce. The funds collected for the skatâ€" ing rink have been depleted. If further skating weather is available, a further appeal will be made to the community for funds. It is the plan of this eonhtteo to institute a beginning recreation program for the spring. This comâ€" mittee plans to operate generally in the same way as in the work of the skating rink. It is planned that furâ€" ther meetings will be held shortly and steps will be taken to lay out the plans and means of finance for a spring and summer recreation program.
