Dear Bill: • » This weekend fulds me In Bu^alo and, while I would rather be in McHenry, I have had a- little time to think and mostly, Bill, I have been thinking, "What have you and 1 to offer as representatives of the People's Party, should we be elected as aldermen of the First and Second Wards on AprUZihf" r ^jThere are some things I alffflVbd in my own Tnimi and I am equally sure ^ou agfree with me. The first of these is that neither you nor I are candidates for office because of any personal animosity to those men we are running against. Why, then, do we seek these responsible positions as representatives of the First and Second Wards in McHenryt I have talked with you enough to believe thafc you and I see eye to eye on thie matter. We do not seek personal gain because we realize full well that it means only hard work and service and laying ourselves wide open to responsibilities and condemnation (and maybe -some praise) to which, in our present pursuits we are not exposed and from which we are entirely free. I also know that you concede with me in that, together, we represent certain principles and objectives that we feel are not adequately represented in th*e city administration as it exists today. We feel the need, and the very urgent need, of a youth movement to provide recreation and pleasure for the young folks of McHenry --that we need a very definite program for their healthy social development.: ;; We recognize the tremendous problem our community will face very soon, when our boys afld girls return from service. They will look forward to returning to the ideals they have been fighting for; they have grown in inental and moral and spiritual stature, and will expect more of us here in McHenry, and I believe ybu and I, as ex-service men, have a sympathetic understanding, of what they want and what we, as a community, must offer them. /And, Bill, there are* countless thingp yon andf I *4mve discussed which we stand lor--a decent library, adequate lighting--a real street maintenance program, winter and summer--the development of a spirit of civic pride, through civic aocomplisliments^and the encouragement of industry in* our community. TIJese are but a few, but they represent a sample of out combined thinking. » ' . And, together, we feel that as representatives in the City Council, we eould initiate and support those measures that would lead McHenry forward, and which we do not feel have been given adequate consideration by the Council as it now "exists. I~~write you in this way, Bill, because I want to confirm a few of the things we have discussed wherein I am sure we are in complete agreement--and feeling that those principles for which we stand honestly entitles us to go into this campaign together as the People 's candidates. JlABOiD P. (PAT) OWEN; March 27, 1945. Dear Pat<| ^ •• tf- Tiiis Is to wkiJowledge ^swr tetter of the 24th. I heartily agree with the contents of that letter, ... f-- I believe that-there.i& a definite need for improvement in oiir Youth Program and the recognition the city owes,the returning boys and girls who are now serving with our armed forces., I also feel as you do that we, as ex-servicemen, are in a better position to analyze their needs and have a better understanding of their problems. , I am very much In accord with you on the idea o# keeping our streets cleaned up both winter and summer, and the encouragement of industry to locate in our city to provide year round employment, providing anpfc industry will pay a good living wage and be an asset to completely arid mv thought is this: We«are expressing the community. In fact, your letter expresses my Meas what we stand for and if the public wants this type of representatives they have a chance to express themselves at the polls by exercising their rights and duties as citizens and voting for candidates of their choice. ' . Very truly yours, ; V : c 3 - * ; JPK. H. ALTHGFF.
