This is a subject periodically in the nevys, and generally being discussed behind the scenes, pro and con. It is a subject which the citizenry should know more about, because township government affects their daily lives, and its future is of considerable importance in , maintaining the democratic governmental process in the state and in the nation.) This great nation of ours is called a democracy. Our founding fathers set it up that way. Through trials and tribulationsi, the United States of America has been preserved as a democracy. We have fought wars for it, and shed much blood for it. We have always considered democracy to be very much worthwhile fighting for. During World War II -- and perhaps it has been revived again -- we saw a famous poster of an individual speaking at a town meeting. The poster said, iri effect, "This is what we are fighting for." Tet, a pure vestige of democracy existing in our governmental process is being threatened by the ever-creeping power of centralized government. The vestige of democracy at stake is township government. This form of government remains as a purely democ r a t i c p r o c e s s b e c a u s e t h e people not only elect but pay their administrative local officials, but also the people themselves may be active participants in the government, and can constitute a citizens' "legislature" to regulate their local affairs. Township government exists in eighty-five Illinois counties, including McHenry county. It also exists, in twenty- one other states, from New England, to East Central and throughout the Midwest. Long Heritage Township government has a heritage that truly was the creation of the early Americans who sought to right the wrongs of autocratic, centralized governments in Europe from which they fled. It is a native institution of American government, having been originated in the early 16Q0's. In its early years it was often called town government, because a town consisted of scattered homes in a fairly large area. In fact, the usual size of a town or township governmental unit is six miles square. During its 300-odd years of existence, township government has served its people well. But in recent years, the growing concept of centralized government has brought the need for township government into brighter focus. There are those who say township government should be abolished simply because it was an early American institution, ando that it no longer fits present day patterns of government. TTiey find fault because the growing centralization and autocracy of larger governmental units have tended to diminish the powers of township government. But these critics miss the allimportant fact that township government is a government of the people and for the ^people. Is this now to be sacrificed? Possibly the basic problem is that the citizenry does not know enough about township government, and , does not employ it sufficiently to make it serve those purposes which may otherwise be assumed by larger governmental bodies. What is township government supposed to do, what more can it do, how does it function, who are its officials and why are they there? What does township government really mean in terms of America's future? These are questions to be answered and understood. Only then can a full evaluation and appreciation of township government Talks were given on the different offices for president and vice-president by Tom Frey from the Federal Land Bank in Woodstock, secretary by Mrs. Davidson of Harvard and P a t M c C U l l o u g h f r o m Chemung, treasurer by Mitchell Kane from the' Production Credit corporation >pf Woodstock, reporter by Mrs. Iris Byron of the Sentinel in Woodstock, recreation by L*>uis Engelbrecht McHenry County Farm Advisor, and the federation delegates by George Kane of Richmond and Connie Pedersen of Crystal Lake.
