Take the sandwich, for exam* pie. Back i n t h e r e i g n o f o f K i n g George III o f E n g • land (just before the American r e v o l t tion) there w a s • B r i t i s h nobleman by t h e n a m e o f John Montagu. Ha loved to play cards so much that he didn't want to stop playing long enough even for his regular meals. So he had bis servants put a slice of meat between two slices of bread to eat while he was playing cards. g!Lf. And since Montagu's title was the fourth Earl of Sandwich, people soon began calling his new snack a "sandwich." Skipping a few centuries, we find playing cards are still an important part of the recreation picture in the present age of rockets and satellites. The Explorer, for example. Is what most people call the space satellite launched by the United States recently and now busily or* biting about in the stratosphere overhead. • But to the men who built it ,*nd sent it successfully off its launching pad, its name is "Deal" According to Dr. J. E. Froehlich, one of the top scientists at Cape Canaveral, the name stems from the designer's favorite pastime, card playing. Dr. Froehlich explains that some of the scientists in his department have become habitual players of three-handed Gin I^ummy--so much so that after interruptions for such epochal events as countdowns they could hardly wait to get back to the pasteboards. "Right after Our first jest shot-- a gratifying and successful one,** Dr. Froehlich said. "I came into the main room of the blockhouse and there sat the others with a deck of cards in readiness." "All they said to me was: 'Deal.'" Froehlich said "Deal" promptly became a byword around the department and has since been adopted as the pet name for the satellite. From the first sandwich to the first satellite, card playing has remained one of the most inexpensive and wholesome means of entertainment ever devised by man Friday with friends at Crystal 'Lake.

LEGAL ASPECTS This is the third article in a series of six weekly releases for publication by the McHenry county supervisor of assessments' office, to acquaint property owners with assessment procedures* and practices. 1 ' > WHY PROPERW ASSESSMENTS MUST BE DETERMINED U n d e r I l l i n o i s S t a t u t e s t h e cost of local government is almost wholly borne by the owners of property (personal and real) in proportion to its "fair cash value". (What a prudent man would give for the "property as a permanent investment and what a voluntary seller would take.) , The local: assessment officer, whether township assessor, Supervisor of Assessments, or a member of the Board of Review, has justly been called the back bone df the local tax administration in Illinois, since he has the important duty of determining the SHARE of the total'local tax bill that shall be paid by each taxpayer. THE ASSESSOR HAS NO PART IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF TAX DOLLARS REQUIRED, but he always does determine what J o n e s ' s h a r e s h a l l b e , w h a t Smiths' share shall be and what Browns' share shall be. If he fails to assess or assesses inadequately the property of Smith, the share, of t&jjg bUrden shifted upon Jones and Brown must be larger. This-l)} true because the amount .*>( money to be raised is not <tei pendent upon the determifc$| tion of , Smith's, Jones' and Brown's assessment. > 'jtf* The exercise of honest impartial judgment is impera* tive in establishing an equitable assessment. Also, in addi-e tion tp this, if the township assessor is to achieve uniforms ity he must have cooperation and honest reporting on the part of each individual NprQp| erty owner.
