THE SENATOR SAYS By State Senator Robert McClory Kite-flying pictures are perennial pictures--but such good Snapshot material that the family album can have new ones added every year. Go Fly a Kite--But Take Your Camera MARCH has long been known as a month of strong breezes. They may be warm, or very chilly. March isn't exactly the most dependable of months, weatherwise. But, there is always the wind, and it can offer us some very interesting picture taking opportunities. One sure-fire subject for a good snapshot is a boy and a kite. It's a perennial favorite. In fact, there's one such picture that's almost a classic--one of tried and proven composition. We are referring to the picture which includes one or more young kite flyers, posed on a knoll. The kite is seen in the distance with the sky for a background. The youngsters' backs are to the camera. This is a picture that includes ail of the elements of a first-class snapshot. Obviously, that's the reason why such pictures so often crop up in the prize-winning ranks. It's a picture that tells a story, without stuttering or stumbling. It speaks right up jat your first glance. The fact that thj kite flyer's back is to he watches the flij helps tell the sti have said many tii era, as is kite as we 'e, the sky makes a perfect natural back ground for a picture. This year, however, we've goi an idea that we think will make your enjoyment of such a picture even greater. Why not make it the climax of a series of story-telling pictures? One picture of your favorite youngster is fine, but a series of them is always better. If the weather is on the cool side, it may well be that your picture story will have its beginning indoors, probably in the >asement. Whenever the kite construction takes place. Assembly of materials and tools would make the first picture. From there on, each major step should be recorded. If this is a joint father-son project, mother should take over the camera to snap them as they are both absorbed in their task. Progress on the kite will write the script for your shooting and will lead nicely into the popular ehd-result picture we described earlier. Consider having the kiteflying shot enlarged and have the other pictures build up to the big one to form a fine page for the family album. --John Van Guilder TWENTYI-FIVE YEARS AGO From issue of March 3, 1932 McHenry can now boast of a leap year baby, a 9% lb. girl born to Mr. and Mrs. Ben Smith Moni day, Feb. 29. j On Jan. 1, 1932,.

A safe kitchen is a clean kitchen^ Anything spilled on the floor is a definite hazard, especially to an older person who is more likely to be seriously injured by a fall. The "Hodge case" may have been disposed of in the courts, and former State Auditor Orville E. Hodge may be, secure in his prison call at Menard, but the "ghost" of Orville Hodge still stalks the legislative halls in Springfield. The members of the 70th Illinois General Assernbly are dedicated to enact snch "reform" legislation as will prevent another "Hodge scandal." With such uniformity of purpose, the goal should be easy to achieve. But is it? The answer is "NO!" - In the first place, the auditor of public accounts is a constitutional officer. If his office is to be eliminated, and the auditor's functions are to be assumed by some other officer or department, this will require a constitutional amendment In other words, the Illinois General Assembly can only "recommend" an amendment to the Constitution. The voters will have to decide the issue in the November, 1958, general election. „ _ "And, if the office of the auditor is to be eliminated, who is to do the auditing of the accounts of the other executive officers and their departments, as well as the state banks, savings and loan associations, currency exchanges, and assume all the other functions which the auditor, now performs? Gov. Stratton appears to favor legislation creating the office of auditor general to be appointed by the governor. The members of the legislature seem to prefer the creation of a legislative auditor, who would be responsible solely to the legislature on all fiscal matters. Those favoring appointment by the governor urge that the governor, being charged with the ad- Few husbands have the courage to beat their wives as much as 3260 points iit a bridge game.

Box 383 ministration of our state's affairs, including state funds, should have the auditor as part of the executive department. However, the arguments' favoring the creation of a legislative auditor seem much more convincing to the writer. It is a- basic principle of our state system that the Illinois General Assembly holds the purse strings. With such a responsibility, the members should have an auditor subject to their direct control, who can both audit appropriation requests and furnish accounting of funds which have been spent. If some state legislators .have displayed attitudes of irresponsibility in the past, it is time for the 1 egisiators to reform- The responsibility of raising revenues and of determining for what purposes funds are to be. appropriated and spent should be functions of the legislature. If an auditor to carry i out such obligations is not to be j appointed directly by the legislators, at least his appointment by the governor should be by--and with--the consent and approval of the legislature.
