COURT BRIEFS HERE AND THERE ' IN BUSINESS CHANGE NAME Commonwealth Edison Company will be the name of the electric company serving 368 northern Illinois communities, as well as Chicago, effective July 1- Lawrence A. Cullen, Northern division vice-president, has announced that the Public Service Company name will be discontinued as Edison service is uniformly established over the company's 11,000 square mile scrvice area. "Electric service to our 321,- 000 Northern division customers* will in no way be affected by tljer consolidation of our identity," Mr. Cullen said. "It should help us, in fact, to improve our relations and communications with all customers." Mr. Cullen said Edison service in this locality will continue to be administered from the company's division headquarters in Northbrook, and from district and area installations in Crystal Lake, Mount Prospect and Waukegan. Public Service Company (of Northern Illinois) was incorporated in 1911. It became a subsidiary of Commonwealth Edison in 1937 and was merged into Edison in 1953. Commonwealth Edison Company, founded ad The Chicago Edison Company, was incorporated in 1887. HONORED BY COMPANY Herb Reihansperger, owner of the Stoffel & Reihansperger Insurance Agency, 3908 West Main Street, was recently honored by the Aetna Casualty and Surety Company at a luncheon at the Aurora Country Club. The occasion was the fiftieth anniversary of the agency's association with the insurance company. In attendance were representatives of the home office of the company, and the Chicago and Aurora branch Offices. The firm of Stoffel & Reihansperger was founded in 1884 by Simon Stoffel, Mr. Reihansperger's grandfather, who signed the original contract with The Aetna Casualty & Surety Company in 1915.

Two youths appeared before Magistrate John Kaufman last Thursday in McHenry branch court on charges of purchasing alcohol by a person of nonage. Michael James Sanders of Spring Grove and Joseph Williams, Jr., of Richmond pleaded guilty and each paid a fine of $35 and $26 costs, j William E. Watts of Solon Mills appeared on the same charges but his case was continued until May 6. MORE QUESTIONS ARE ASKED ON BOND ISSUE Howard E. Wagner of 1237 N. Green Street was charged with driving while under the influence of liquor, amended to reckless driving. He pleaded guilty and was fined $100 and $35 costs. Louis Pogany of 414 Riverside Drive paid a fine of $10 and $5 costs for making a right turn from the left lane. Glenn E. Peterson of 1238 N. Green disobeyed a stop sign and was fined $5 and $5 costs. Robert W. Froehlig of 1213 N. Circle Drive paid a 4$5 fine and $5 costs for driving without a state license plate. Appearing before Magistrate Smith in Branch I court April The following are some of the most frequently a£ked questions regarding the proposed new high school which will be presented to voters in a referendum next Saturday, May 1. Need -- The present high school facilities are already overcrowded, and with even larger enrollments in the next few years, the problem will be critical by the time any additional facilities can be provided. Solution -- The proposed solution is to build a complete two^year high school on property adjoining the city of McHenry on the south, and lying west of the Crystal Lake blacktop. The new school would be built to house 1,200 students initially, with core facilities that will permit expansion to 2,200 capacity in the future. Core facilities include a library, gymnasium to seat 3,000, cafeteria, auditorium to seat 700, 40 classrooms plus extracurricular and specialized teaching areas such as counseling rooms, industrial arts, science and language lab., etc. Construction -- The design will incorporate sound, conservative features. Architects for the McHenry school recently completed a school for the Palatine high school district at a cost of slightly under $14 per square foot, which is considered an economical figure for school construction. A similar type construction is planned here. The new building would be multi-level (two and a half stories). Acreage -- The 38 acres is considered sufficient. Besides the school, there will be athletic activity areas, consisting of practice football field, track and field activities, two baseball fields and adequate parking area for the entire building. Swimming Pool -- It is felt that the swimming pool will be an addition to the civic recreation area and hopefully, under 19, Theodore F. Bierchen of McHenry pleaded not guilty to battery and aggravated assault. His case was continued for trial. Mary Ellen Tomasello of McHenry pleaded not guilty to possession of alcoholic liquor and reckless driving and her case was continued for trial. Eugene D. Smola of Wonder Lake pleaded not guilty to deceptive practice and. his case was continued for trial. In the lengthy Congressional debates culminating in last year's comprehensive Civil Rights Act, voting rights were subordinated to the more dramatic issue of "public accommodations." This explains, in part, the present dilenWa requiring additional fedferal "voting rights" legislation. Control of elections" and establishment of voting qualifications are essentially state functions. However, the 14th Amendment to the Federal Constitution requires all of the fifty states to guarantee to all citizens the equal protection of the laws. In addition, the 15th Amendment provides that when voting rights are denied in any state, the Congressional representation of that state shall be reduced in the proportion that the number of citizens who are denied voting rights shall bear to the total number of citizens in the state. Furthermore, the 15th Amendment prohibits discrimination against voters on the basis of race or color. Legislative measures based upon the 14th and 15th Amendments to the federal Constitution are now before the Congress. There is, for instance, the bill (H.R. 6264) sponsored by Congressman Sidney Yates of the auspices of private organizations, will be available to the general public in a planned program. Cost -- Obtain the assessed valuation of your particular piece of property from the last tax receipt or from the court ftouse. To obtain the average annual share of the cost of the building program, multiply that ligure by .0011. The first year :he tax rate will rise about .22 per $100 of equalized assessed valuation. It will decline in later years to an average of about .11 cents based on the present and projected equalized assessed valuation. ani 'OU n We would like to thank our thousands of customers and express our appreciation of having had the opportunity of being your Buick and Oldsmobile dealer for nearly half a century. Due to the death of the late Richard J. Overton, we, reluctantly have had to make a choice between the Buick-Oldsmobile franchise and the Cadillac-Pontiac franchise. Our -decision was to continue the Cadillac-Pontiac dealership. PONTIAC has placed 3rd in National Sales for four consecutive years. This year, 1965, Motor Trend has picked Pontiac and Tempest as the "Car of the Year." CADILLAC has been accepted as the "standard of the world." In the near future, our showroom facilities at 1112 N. Front Street will be expanded to display over 30 cars. Many fine used cars will be on display both in our lot and in the building. Also in the near future, our New Service Center will be located at 1109 N. Front Street. It will enable us to give faster and even more efficient Service. Used cars will also be on display at this address. We will continue with the standards that have enabled us to serve you faithfully for over a half century. 1112 N. Front St. Overton Cadillac-Pontiac Co. Chicago which would reduce the number of U. S. Representatives in any state which deprives, a substantial number of its citizens of the right to vote. One may as|&3»initially whether a threat fo reduce a state's representation in the Congress would encourage such a state to grant equal voting rights. No hearings on this proposal have beeh scheduled. It should be observed that this bill is limited to federal elections and, if enacted, would result ^in punishment of the citizens of an entire state for the misdeeds of those who control the voting machinery. In addition, such legislation, if enacted, could not guarantee a right to vote for local or state officials. Indeed, it would assure no voting rights in Federal elections. Instead, it would merely have the effect of reducing a state's representation in the Congress if the penalties under Congressman Yates's bill should be invoked. On the other hand, Jegisla-. tion introduced some weeks ago by this member of Congress and others--and now recommended by the President -- would establish federal registrars or examiners in those areas where discrimination agai- nst Negro voting rights is practiced. However, the measure recommended by the President has inherent in it the danger that it might subject all state election and voting laws to federal control. In our desire to end public protests and demonstrations, and in response to an overwhelming public demand to implement Constitutional voting rights, we must avoid an excess of federal power. In the measure proposed by the President, assumption of authority by the federal government would depend largely upon the decision of one man-- the United States Attorney General. The bill introduced by me and a number of other members of Congress would require a decision of a Federal Court before federal registrars could move in. I prefer the approach and protection afforded by my version. However, the objectives appear to be the same. will funnel more than $l-billion of federal funds directly to our local schools on the basis of a nationwide formula -- and without any control by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction or the county school authorities. While the bill aims to afford equitable treatment to students attending private and parochial schools, there are problems of scheduling, providing transportation and other difficulties (which are necessarily omitted from the legislation). It appears that the bill provides very little to the students whose parents are now paying tuition in addition to school taxes. The federal aid bill purports to expand the long-standing program of aid to so-called federally-*impacted areas. Heretofore, the basis for federal aid to impacted areas has been the presence of federal installations within a school district, casting a heavy financial burden on the local community without contributing to gfeneral tax revenues. Indeed, many schools in our 12th Congressional District have benefited from these provisions, particularly by reason of the impact of Great Lakes Naval Training Center and Fort Sheridan with the thousands of parents who reside on or are employed at one or the other of these federal establishments and whose children attend the public schools. However, the basis for the new federal aid program is the income of the residents of a school district and bears little or no relation to the wealth of the district. The presence of industrial and other tax contributing properties in the district or other items which might affect the real need for assistance from the federal government receive no consideration. Those familiar with the formula by which state aid is provided to pur primary and secondary schools will recognize at once that the state formula is far more equitable. Indeed, under H.R. 2362, the federal aid system appears to aggravate existing inequities. government," represent a distinct departure from the cooperative programs which have existed heretofore between local, state and federal educational agencies. As with other legislation being considered at this session, various Republican leaders have offered alternative proposals. In the case of aid to primary and secondary schools, the principal Republican emphasis is on local control. This would be achieved through a Republican proposal for granting tax credits to the extent of local school taxes up to $100. In addition, the measure would authorize a federal income tax credit for individuals who assume the cost of tuition and other expenses of a college education. This legislative proposal has had strong bipartisan support for many years and represents an equitable fnethod of meeting expenses of a college education --particularly among the low and middle income groups. This method is far preferable to new or additional federal grants or scholarships with the. attendant federal bureaucracy, red tape and overhead. In demonstrating that the Republican alternative proposal is not without a heart for the underprivileged and educationally deprived children, it also includes a federally supported program for youngsters from 3 through 7 years of age, together with a $300-million grant to the states for this purpose. The policy of local and state support and control of our public schools which was substantially followed for 200 years appears at last to have been abandoned in the new Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. It is probably wise to conclude that the die has been cast. Certainly a reduction of*the federal role as provided in this new legislation would be most difficult to accomplish-in the future.
