Representative Makes Report , If State" Representatfra I Robert McClory HIUItllHIIIIIIIIIIIIiniHIIIIIIIII 1 * /Ko house is like Iiorrje without j ~""<r woman, the Illinois House of Representatives is no exception. "8ix women in the House" make that body seem much more like home. Furthermore, these six women are among the House's most highly respected and capable jsemben. IB The veteran female legislator in. years of service is Bernice T. Van der Vries of Winnetka, who has represented the seventh senatorial district for the past seventeen yearn Mrs. Van der Vries began her legislative career at a time when her son was still in college, and ' while her busy husband was a regional manager of the United States Chamber of ^Commerce. Today, she is a widow Jd(her husband having died in 1936) and a grandmother. In her nine terms, Mrs. Van der Vries has sponsored some of the most important and most contro- • versial legislation presented to the Illinois General Assembly. In the present session, for instance, ahe succeeded in passing legislation authorizing the city manager plan of local government, a useful law which has been blocked for ||the past sixteen years. Cool, courageous and capable in debate. Rep. Van der Vries is chairman of the powerful House committee on municipalities and is one of the most important memtot's of the House. Maud Peffers of Aurora succeeded to the position^ left vacant House and the state Senate, Miss by her husband, Rep. John M. Peffers, who died in 1936. Mrs. Peffers. is also a grand- ^aiother, a full time legislator, outspoken in her opinions and steadfast in her devotion to duty. Maud Peffers is probably the most maternal House member, both in her appearance and manner. Even in her most contentious moMinta aha has -a mother's sweetness that see its to disarm those who might oppose her. Rep. Peffers is chairman of the I committee on enrolling and en- . grossing, to which all legislation I must be referred before passed by the House. Rep. Hazel McCaskrin of Rock Island served as secretary to her late husband, Harry M. McCaskrin, who was a member of the Illinois House of Representatives for twenty years prior to his death in 1942. Trim, soft-spoken, and extremely youthful for her sixty years. Rep. McCaskrin is sound, deliberate and thorough in her legislative work. The most glamorous of the feminine members is Mabel E. Green of Rockford. Mrs. Green is also the widow of .** fornftr House member, Leroy M. Green, who served in the State Assembly for seventeen years until his death in 1941. Mabel Green is an attractive brunette. She la . slim, youthful and gay. Although one of the least talkative of the Hotjse members, she demonstrated at a recent meeting of legislators that she can speak eloquently hi public. Mrs. Green is always on the job in the House, and performs her legislative duties with Intelligence and conviction. The only Democrat among the six women in the House is Lillian Piotrowski of Chicago. Miss Piotrowski is a first termer and is rapidly establishing herself as an active member of the legislature. She was formerly a deputy sheriff in the criminal and juvenile courts of Chicago, and an adult probation officer.

Mrs. Suthers is the wife of an accountant, a mother and grandmother, a registered Parliamentarian, and one of the leading members of the Illinois and National Federation of Women's Republican clubs. She also has been a teacher and author aa well as a wife and mother. Mrs. Suthers is one of the most conscientious members of the Illinois House of Representatives. She rarely misses a committee meeting, she studies and considers the pending legislative matters objectively and thoroughly. Mrs. Suthers has charm, personality and great ability. She is eloquent, logical and convincing in debate. She will make an impressive record in her first term in this legislature, and should become one of its leaders in the next session.

This was unusual for such early times--about 3800 B.C.^ In some cases, house walls were painted with red and yellow bands. Others, a solid red or yellow. Apparently, the color was kept fresh by frequent coats of paint. By w. H. TammMI Complete line of Beebe livestock remedies at Wattles Drug Store, McHenry. ' 8tf Harvard Milk Day comes this week. Staging an event like this certainly takes precision planning. Collars have to be fitted early to be sure no sore spots da» velop. taames have to be tight and tugs hooked up straight, no huffing back in the britchen in Harvard from pow on till the fourteenth of June and after. Just , like the county fair, Very few people realize how much time, thinking, planning and real work such an event takes of a few people. Everybody is ready to talk aboqt the mistakes but few ever think of really saying a few words of encouragement and J j^hanks to those who do the work.' There are those who wouldn't f do anything unless they got paid for it and are the same people who say "Joe must be getting plenty out of that job." Most of the graft is in the minds of thoaa who would like to be graftars. Some places they really treat the kibitzing public nice. In Rochester, Minn., they are building a huge new clinic building at Mayo Clinic. They have a grandstand built with a roof and all for the kibitzers that would put our county fair grandstand ia the shade. It la fall it people everyday ara, patieata or relativea of paOeUta there. - 4 girl recently went to visit her uncle in Idaho. She liked to tide horses and wanted to ride in the hills. He warned her that there were "Bars in them thar Hills." She retorted "Oh at home I ride a bicycle, I can handle bars." A new well has been dug at the Stockyards in Chicago. Stockmen have complained that their cattle didn't like the chlorinated city water and wouldn't drink their fill. I was told that the Stockyard facilities are owned by one man. It was a matter of building a few |>ens at the right place at the right time and encouraging trading. It started in 1S65 and at that time they bad trouble with counterfeit money and no pay. ^ A code of ethics,, the Packer and Stockyard act, the U.S.D.A. market news service, scale testing, the livestock exchange--all help make it a virtually foolproof establishment today. A buyer must post a bond or cash before he can buy today. Farmers are ready to reap probably the largest hay harvest ever in McHenry county. Many complain they have a lot of hay over from 1950 and what will the? do with it all? There is only one. logical answer. They don't have enough cattle.v With beef at its present price and with every, possibility proven by test that they can pat on 1^ pounds per head per day on grass, why wouldn't that be the answer? The labor involved in beef production is way below the labor needed in dairy. Dairy heifers will use a lot of this extra forage so why not raise more of them? We still have a long way to go on raising our own replacement stock in McHfcnry county, tte dairyiand of the midwest. The dairy show at Harvard to a day early, June 13.
