Murphy of "Riverside drive and a passenger, David Tobey of 910 W. West blvd., McHenry, escaped unhurt in a two-car collision Monday evening on Rt. 120, east of the city at River road. Murphy and another auto driven by Vikki Viverito of Woodlawn Park were driving east. Murphy told deputies he applied the brakes when he saw the left turn signal on the other auto but was unable to stop in time. Murphy was ticketed for failure to reduce speed or too fast for conditions.

Green St. McHenry 38S-0019 Gi^EN STREET MALL TTT titled "Your Bill of Rights". In the 100-page booklet, attorney- authors present historic origins and judicial decisions relating to the 23 basic rights contained in the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution. According to the writer of the chapter "AmendmentI -- Freedom of the Press" obscenity is "the most prominent area*' in which the rights of free speech and a free press have been regulated by state and federal str atute. As a consequence, the author adds, "Considerable litigation has occurred in this field during the past decade." One of the biggest hurdles facing the courts has been to provide a definition of obscenity which could be used by judges and attorneys in the prosecution --and defense -- of obscenity cases. A landmark decision was made in 1933 when the court ruled that a work must be judged as a whole and on the basis of its impact on the average person. The traditionally accepted "English schoolgirl test" was that a work must be judged by its influence upon the most susceptible member of society. According to the ISBA booklet, three more standards were added by the Supreme Court in deciding a 1957 case, Roth vs. United States. The court said mate'rial to be considered obscene must: 1. "Have for its dominant theme and appeal a morbid and shameful preoccupation with sex as opposed to a healthy sexu^ interest; 2. **Be. expressed in a manner that goes substantially beyond national standards ofpermissable candor; and 3. "Be without redeeming social importance.1" In making recent decisions, the Supreme court has considered advertising and promotional activities as well as the work itself. Thus, in 1966, the Supreme court upheld the conviction of Ralph Ginsburg. He had been convicted of violating a federal statute by using the United States mail to commercial exploit "erotica solely for the sake of their prurient appeal." In Illinois the penalty for a first obscenity conviction carries a fine of up to $1,000, imprisonment of up to one year, or both. Subsequent offenses may lead to imprisonment from one to three years, and fines from $1,000 to $5,000. Shop In McHenry When selecting a gift for him.... let us help! 5TORE for ME 1245 N.
