"i -- rnmmmmm ,,.TO Page Eight THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER / OBITUARIES SISTER MARY ROBERTUS An illness of several months ended in the death of Sister Mary Robert^, BVM, 73, the former Lucy Sutton of Mc- Henry. She died in Dubuque, Iowa. The deceased was born Dec. 13, 1886, in Emerald Park, Mc- Heriry, daughter of Bridget Knox and Robert J.' Sutton, early residents of the community. Her early life was spent here until she entered the Sisters of Charity convent in Dubuque when 16 years old. Later, she was at Our Lady of Lourdes convent in Chicago. Four brothers survive, Jo- EDITORIALS ' A Look at the Stratton Record Whenever public' officials seek reelection to high office they are fond of saying "Let's look at the record." In the case of Gov. William G. Stratton, the statement is more than a political cliche. In the past eight years, Gov. Stratton has forged a record of service of which he and all of Illinois can be justly proud., Most people who meet the governor come a&ray with the realization that he is a man with tremendous scope of understanding in the field of our state s affairs. It seems obvious that only a man with such a wide range of knowledge would have been able to accomplish what Gov. Stratton ^as* | soph and William of McHenry, So, as we prepare to vote on Nov, 8, let's look John of Freeport and Robert at the record. Let's list some of the accomplish- jof Chicago. Four sisters and ments which have changed our state for the better. i^°thbr°therS preceded her in The Stratton administration established--» | Last rites were conducted 1. The Illinois Youth Commission- to correct' Tuesday in the convent chapel and prevent juvenile delinquency. .in Dubuque, with burial there. 2. The Illinois Toll Highway Commission which accomplished the dream roads to reduce the bottleneck traffic in northern Illinois. 3. Department of Financial Institutions to control and examine banks, credit unions, lending agencies and allied businesses. 4. The radiological hej^th and air pollution section of the Department ol Public Health, dealing with problems of fallout and peaceful uses of atomic energy. 5. The Division of State Meat Inspection to insure good meat and poultry for the state. 6. The Division of Industrial Development to aid local communities in attracting industry. 7. The Division of Highway Safety to conduct the safety program which has reduced traffic deaths for four consecutive years. 8. The Department of Auditor General to give rigid auditing of all state expenditures. 9. The Department of Personnel to modernize the merit service system. 10« The Division of Alcoholism to combat this expanding problem. 11. The Division of Narcotic Control to crack down on the corrupting traffic in drugs. 12. The Higher Education Commission to help Illinois' youth receive college training by correlating efforts of the state's educational institutions. 13. The School Building Commission which has aided 27 school districts, short of bonding power, to plan and build new classrooms. 14. The State Scholarship Commission which has enabled thousands of high school seniors to continue their education, whereas they might have been deprived of that opportunity due to lack of funds. Plan Repoli Highlights Thursday, October 27, (Continued from Page 1) That is only part of the record, of course, but it shows that our state has been moving ahead, quickly and dramatically, under the leadership of Gov. Stratton. It is why we urge you to vote for Gov. Stratton on Nov. 8. EUGENE C. O'CONNOR Last rites for Eugene C. O'Connor of Wonder Lake were held Monday morning in St. Felicitas Catholic church, Chicago. Mr. O'Connor, 60 years old, died Thursday, Oct. 20, in his Chicago office. He was a supervisor in the exhibition hall at McCormick Place and was former business agent of the Shade and Drapery Workers, Local 17, and Awning Workers, Local 9. Survivors include his widow, Irene, and a son, Eugene. Carpentier -- Outstanding Official In the forthcoming election, the voters of Illinois will again have the opportunity to endorse the candidacy of Secretary of State Charles F. ' Carpentier, and we feel that they will do just that. Here is a public servant who has a record of outstanding administration, unparalleled by any previous holder of this office. His work has been acclaimed by non-partisan and unprejudiced as the best in the history of Illinois. Starting as an alderman in East Moline in 1924, he proceeded through the offices of mayor of • Jiis community, state senator from the 33rd district, and since 1953 has served as secretary of .state. There are many reasons why Carpentier .should be returned to office, but we believe that, if for no other reason, the voters should recognize his outstanding service in the driver license division where a safety record has been brought about which is unmatched throughout the United States. In 1953 Carpentier sparked the'coordinated Illinois traffic safety program with his sponsorship of the driver license law. In 1952 there were 3,700,000 licensed drivers in the state, and during that year there were 2,135 automobile accident fatalities. In 1959 there were 4,700,000 licensed drivers, and there were 1,795 fatalities with 1,000,000 more drivers his program encouraged the saving of 340 lives. If this program had not been undertaken, and the death rate had continued at the 1953 pace, Illinois would have recorded 3,418 more fatalities, over the past seven years, than it has had. Newspapers throughout the state have acclaimed this record. They are loud in their praise for this courageous and aggressive stand in enforcing the driver license law. He has revoked licenses for just cause, without any hint of corruption or favoritism in a field offering many temptations. We do not contend that Carpentier's efforts alone have spared every life in the statistics which we quoted. We do say that his efforts made a substantial contribution to the whole program, which of course was coordinated with the wholehearted efforts of Gov. William G. Stratton and the state legislators in an intensive drive for highway safety. We strongly urge the voters to consider the outstanding record of Charles F. Carpentier, and place an "X" in front of his name when they go to the polls on Nov. 8. MERRITT O. THOMAS Merritt O. Thomas, 59, brother of Dale Thomas of McHenry, died Thursday, Oct. 20, in Community General hospital in LaGrange. He had suffered injuries the previous Wednesday in an auto accident in Brookfield. Services were held at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon from the chapel at 40 S. Ashland avenue. LaGrange. Survivors are the wife. Leon a; his father, William; six other brothers and two sisters. The deceased was a partner in the Thomas & Foy moving firm in LaGrange. ANTHONY NEUMAN Anthony Neuman, brother of Mrs. John B. Wirtz of McHenry. died Saturday, Oct. 22, in Chirapo. Last rites,, were held at Queen of Martyrs church, Chicago, at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. Mr. Neuman was a son of Joseph Neuman, who lived on Riverside Drive many years a co. The late Catherine Schneider of- McHenry was Mr. Neunan's sister. LOUIS E. SKOLNIK Ixrais E. Skolnik, 49, of Chicago, brother of Dr. Emanuel M. S k o l n i k of Mc H e n r y , drowned last Thursday while swimming in Lake Meade, near Las Vagas, Nev. Survivors besides Dr. Skolnik are the widow, Dr. Fannie Skolnik; two sons, Melvin and David; his mother, two sisters and a brother. Services were held Monday in Chicago, with burial in Memorial Park cemetery. ago -- depends on a number of things. Chief among them include vitality, resources and timing; money, and a staff with the ability and enthusiasm to do the job; selective recruitment and development of propects; and lastly, patience, since prospects are sometimes slow to develop and not every prospect represents an ultimate benefit to the community. One of the goals of the development committee is felt to be the ability to act promptly upon requests for information. The report points out that industrial concerns, when th£y are locating plants, try to obtain, as rapidly as possible, all informatioh about an area so that basic decisions can be made inexpensively. In regard to recruitment, the report emphasizes the importance of obtaining new industrial concerns on a selected basis, taking into account the kind and extent of labor available. An example states the f o o l i s h n e s s of a p p r o a c h i n g woodworking concerns, which require upholsterers, stitchers and carpenters, etc.s if the only laborers in the area are machinists or unskilled workers. Development of regulations for industrial activity which operate to the benefit of both industry and the community is felt to be an important means for insuring continuation of a successful program. Desirable, forward looking firms want the assurance of future protection for their plants, which can only be afforded by such controls, and local planning consultants say desirable communities will provide them. This is commonly the most regular grounds of meeting, according to the report, and can determine a successful future of development, for both community and industry. WILLIAM K. RAPP William K. Rapp, 85, fortyyear summer resident of Oakwood subdivision, north of McHenry, died Monday, Oct. 24. in Chicago following a long illness. At one time he was one of the owners of the Chapel Hill Country club. Only nieces and nephews s u r v i v e , i n c l u d i n g Mil f o r d Wilke of McHenry. Services will be held this (Thursday) afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Lane chapel in Chicago, with burial in Oak' wood cemetery. NUNDA FIREMEN TO ASSIST WITH ADDRESS CHANGES Postmaster James Hettermann and Donald Doherty, representing the Chamber of Commerce as chairman of the postal re-addressing project, spent Monday evening in Burton's Bridge with members of the Nunda Township fire department. The McHenry men explained the new system and were assured of the cooperation of the firemen in numbering homes in the area. Musin' & Meanderin' (Continued Prom Page 1) call it a day until they had heard the senator speak at Elmhurst in the evening. We expect other reports will come from the Republican ranks next Saturday, Oct. 29, when Vice-President Richard Nixon speaks at Wheaton collece at 12:30 p.m. The grapevine teljs us that quite a nujB* ber from this area will be or hand to hear him. A "Gp With Nixon" caravan sponsored by the Republican party at)d the Citizens for Nixon-Lodge of McHenry county will leave from Crystal Lake at 10 o'clock in the morning. They extend an invitation to all ,interested persons to join the group. The Republican party headquarters or the Citizens for Nixon-Lodge headquarters in Woodstock may be contacted by those who wish to go and do not have a ride. At least two local couples are in line for congratulations because of wedding anniversaries well beyond the fiftyyear mark. Mr. and Mrs. William J. Meyers of Johnsburg observed their fifty-fourth anniversary last week, and Mr. and Mrs. John B. Wirtz of McHenry w i l l mark t h e i r f f t v - r r i n t h married year on Oct. 30. Those robins that huddled under last week's first snow fall were a dejected looking group, but they weren't any less happy, and not as smart, as some of the rest of us, who would have started immediately for the South if we had their wings. INJURIES. DEATH ARE RESULT OF A AREA CRASHES A 13-year-old Hunterville Park girl, Geraldine Fidler, was struck by a-t car as she rode her bicycle in that subdivision about 7:15 on Wednesday night of last week. Her injuries were not serious. Stephanie Vermillion of Emily Lane, Hunterville Park, was travelling north knd made a left turn into the "lane when she noticed the girl. She was unable to stop in time to avoid hitting her. The driver took the girl to the hospital, where she was found to be suffering from contusions. She was later released. Two Hurt Two motorists suffered injuries when the car in which they were rising left Howe road at the north end of Wonder Lake one morning v last week. Driver of the car was Henry Ocic, Jr., of Chicago, who was driving west on Howe road, just west of the Hill Inn when the car, failed to make a sharp curve bn the hill and struck a high bank. Both the driver and a passenger, Bruce Danhoff, also of Chicago, were hospitalized, the former for a back injury and the latter for forehead lacerations. The car was completely demolished. A minor accident which resulted in damage to two cars occurred on Green street, 200 feet north of Allen avenue, about 3:50 last Thursday afternoon. Catherine G. Maher of Lilymoor, driving north, swerved to avoid an oncoming car and struck the left rear fender of an auto driven by Marion G. Harris of Lakeland Shores. Only minor damage was reported by city police when two cars collided Saturday morning near Blake's garage at the Park and Pearl street intersection. Dorothy Gibbs of McHenry was travelling south on Park street and struck a car driven by Jesse W. Beeman of Fox Lake, who was backing out of the garage, ., Twenty-Ninth Fatality The twenty-ninth fatality on the highways of McHenry county oeriafi'ed last Thursday night, taking the life of Walter Baum, 36, of Black Riiver Falls, Wis.

The accident victim was reported to have been walking from one side of the highway to the other in an east-west direction, when she was struck by an auto driven by Edward F. Kelley of Arlington Heights, who was driving south. The state police investigated. PUBLIC LEARNS PROS AND CONS OF BOND ISSUES Continued from Page 1 One little girl in the McHenry area evidently believes in the wisdom of the old saying, "the early bird catches the worm," except that in her case it isn't the worm but Santa Claus himself. The Plaindealer's first letter to the fat man in the red suit arrived this past week, written by Eileen Kusch, 6 years old. We are filing it away and will publish it along with the many others in late November and early December. K. A. F. retaining good personnel, Impede progress in treatment programs and may increase the length of stay of many patients, thus adding to the state's financial burdens. G. W. Blanchard, district secretary of the Illinois Agricultural association, Was present to speak against both issues. Mr. Blanchard stated that the difference of opinion is not whether the buildings are needed, but what is the most practical, economical and businesslike way to raise the money. He expressed the opinion ot those who are against, the bond issues that the passage of them "may defeat, or at least postpone, much heeded tax reform. Gives Opposing View In regard to the educational bond issue, opponents say that even the university authorities admit the amount requested will not be sufficient to fill the present needs, and they feel long range plans are better them what they describe as "more costly stop-gap measures." As for the other bond vote, Mr. Blanchard told of the state's continuing obligation, year after year, to provide additional buildings for universities and welfare institutions. He and other opponents feel that a source of revenue should be found which will be continuing and would not involve the payment of large sums in interest. * An expressed fear of opponents referred to the property tax being used as security for the bond issues. Mr. Blanchard pointing to increasing state needs, cited the possibility of a state property tax to retire part or all of the principal and interest. On the other hand, both Dr. Howell and Mr. Morrissey reminded that the use of a state levied property tax as security for a bond issue is not new, adding that only twice has such a tax been levied and used to pay off bonds. They feel there is little danger now of a state levied property tax. $248 Is Realized In UNICEF Drive Sixty-five young people with hearty appetites were treated to supper at' the Community Methodist church last Sunday after they had canvassed the town and subdivisions, collecting $248.11 for United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund. The supper was furnished by the Woman's Society of the church, with mothers of the group doing the serving. This project is intended to replace the trick or treat custom by which the collectors would benefit themselves. The young people were thrilled with the results of their drive and are grateful to all who contributed to it. Boys and [girls throughout the United States enter into this project every year. So that those who gave might know the strength of their donation, the following facts are of interest: 1 cent provides the vaccine to protect a child from tuberculosis; 5 cents provides the pencillin to cure a child of the crippling tropical disease called "yaws'* and 10 cents provides fifty glasses of nourishing milk. HUNDREDS HEAR VARIOUS VIEWS ON EDUCATION Hundreds of McHenry county teachers attended the annual institute of the northeast division of the Illinois Education association, held in Crystal Lake on Monday of this week and heard well known speakers talk on various phases of professional problems and responsibilities. One of the most popular speakers was Bennett Cerf, publisher, author and TV panelist, who spoke on the importance of laughter as a universal language that can carry us through all kinds of crises. F o r e s t R o z z e l l , e x e c u t i v e secretary of the Arkansas Education association, speaking at the afternoon session, said in his opinion federal support to education is no longer debatable. The only question is the form in which it will be made. He also discussed methods of coping with scientific changes, adding that it is imperative to making teaching a preeminent profession. A third problem he cited was establishment of a salary scale designed to attract the best people into the profession. Dismiss Case Of Oakhurst Woman The case involving an Oakhurst wife charged with an attempt on her husband's life was dismissed on request of the attorney who represented both of them when they appeared before Judge Charles Adams last Saturday morning. The attorney announced that the plaintiff had decided to withdraw his charge, and this was granted, along with a leave to reinstate. The man charged that his wife tried to hit him with her car at the intersection of Rt. 120 and East River Road a few weeks ago.

We happened to see a display of Halloween costumes the other day, and spacemen and cowboys had^jf all over goblins and ghoets. And you know, styles in cameraq change, too. If you're faithfully holding on to a family heirloom of a camera, you're missing a lot of picturetaking fyn. A Sure your old model still takes big, clear pictures. But only in sunlight that's bright enough to blind. And you £a have a little trouWe s^ugntilif through thqt dusty viewfihder, don't you? And indoor pictures? You just can't take them because your oldrtimer isn't geared for flash. Unless you're sentimental, putting up with all these short, comings really is unnecessary. Especially when it costs as Hie pr $1V50 to own a spanking new Brownie snapshot mera outfit. For instance, we can give you a choice of four different Brownie 20 Cameras that open up a whole new world of picture- taking to you. They can v-o adi-iqtei to take pictures in dim, dull or bright light. You can shoot flash shots. You can even focus for exciting closeups, or for groups and scerra. And that's not all. Th«e new Brownie 20 Cameras take all three kin4s of pictures: snapshots in color or black-and -white. Or exciting color slides. Why not come in this week and tajte your choice?
