Page Eight THEMcHENRY ^ r f ' V + % • ' T v / ^ v £ > s ^ ™ f \ : 0 *S$i Thursday, March 21. 1957 Mnsm' and Meanderin' (Continued from Page 1) more nearly a disorganized gettogether in which members came and left at their ovvri discretion, visited when they desired and in general paid little attention to what the.speaker of the monent might have, to say. Granted that this was probably one of the less important sessions, nevertheless, there was a certain disillusionment for a young person who knew the high regard felt for the legislative body. Attending another session on a conducted^ tour recently was Sue Stinespring 17, of McHenry, who had the procedure explained quite satisfactorily. At the meeting of the Senate, a discussion of sending money abroad was under way. This, she was told, as is generally the case, had come up in important committee sessions prior to the Senate meeting and every word was on record for reference by individual senators. For this reason, Senate sessions are often not well attended and the interest of the members present is not always great. A very new piece of business, however, was brought up when she and the others visited a House session, where discusion was brisk. Her visit to the United Nations assembly meeting held interest, but unfortunately did not attract too many members since Communist representatives had the floor mostly for the purpose of having their views recorded in the minutes. Certainly for anyone who has the opportunity to witness a session of any of these vitally important groups, there will be memories which will linger long.
