GIL STRESSES IMPORTANCE OF COMMITTEEMEN^ • At-large elections afjd the Blue Ballot system going into eflect will continue in the1 news for the months to come. The final outcome and workability of each will have an impact upon each citizen and each citizen should' know at least 'a little bit' about these matters of government which are going to affect us all, according- to the Government Improvement League. - Proper questions, members say, include: Can we leave the1 election-at-large matter in the questionable hands of those who helped create the problem? Is the proper functioning of the Judicial branch as effected by the Blue Ballot a sacred subject or too- difficult to understand? Is the voter being locked-out in really having a choice in selecting 'his' government functionaries? Is some cne person or group of persons drawing up 'a list' which the voters are supposed tp rubber stamp? Unfortunately, the answer? ; could be 'yes', but it doesn't 1 have to be. The1 League points out that the precinct committeeman is your voice and the - position should] be given the attention it merits. The League urges fifty interested person to become a candidate for precinct committeeman in the party of his choice. A candidate must file a properly completed nominating -petition. between Jan. 20 and 27: Trap form is obtainable from the County Clerk's office in Woodstock. ^---- ^ The full and complete name of the signer must be on the petition and the signature must be obtained by an adult resident of that precinct. Th£; person obtaining the signatures must certify that the signatures were1 obtained in his presence. When returned to the County Clerk, the nominee's name will be printed on the primary ballot to be voted on April 14.

He is at home now but will have to, be very careful and take it easy for several weeks. If you happen to hear cow bells ringing at the Wines household -- don't imagine you are. hearing things.
