>. 10, -PLAINDEALER-WED;, JUNE 5, 1968 GUEST EDITORIAL From The Dixon Evening Telegraph Voters Preference Slate The eyes of itiaiiy Illinois Republicans will be focused on the results of the Convention Delegate fight in the 12th District comprised of Lake and McHenry Counties. Irl II. Marshall, Highland Park, and Bernard V. Narusis of Carry are way out in front in the race for Delegates to the Republican National Convention and so are the Alternates, Mary W. Runnells of Lake Forest and Robert P. Will of Zion. These candidates are known as the "Voters' Preference Slate." Everyone of them are splendid persons and we recommend the in highly, support them, and hope they will be elected. McHenry County is especially proud to have a representative of the county irackded on the slate. Irl H. Marshall of Highland Park in Lake County is well known over the Slate of Illinois having formerly owned and operated some well known newspapers, and was highly respected. He has been working hard for the Republican Party for some 30 years. The Marshall-Narusis-Runnells-Will "slate" were the first to come out openly for Nixon for President from the very start. We are told in McHenry County that the slate, hand picked by the "4 Bobs" -- Bob McClory, Bob Coulson, Bob Stuart (National Committeeman), and Bob Mil* ton -- were for Rockefeller, but are toning down their yiews and saying now they are for Richard Nixon. Virginia Kenney has violated Party loyalty and unity by using the position she holds as President of the Illinois Federation of Republican Women to openly endorse Mrs. Wawirka over Mary Runnells. We are dismeiyed to hear that Robert Stuart, National Consmifcteeifflaa would also take sides. This is not good for that Party Unity we all talk about. The "Voters Preference Slate" are for Nixon and then for Governor Ronald Reagan if Nixon cannot make it. They are against Rockefeller, Hatfield, Lindsay and Javits because they kiow none of these men would truly represent the Republican Party. ,W© are pramd to strongly urge the voters of the 12th Congressional District to sopport.the MarshaU-Narusis- Itaiells-Wili slate. We are especially proud to have a McHenry County man, Bernard V. Narusis, included on the ticket as well as the splendid members of the team from Lake County. Lester Cunningham On Tuesday, June 11th, the voters of the 33rd District will have the opportunity to go to the polls and make their choice of the men they want to represent them as Representatives in the General Assembly in Springfield. This newspaper goes into this district so we are vitally interested in helping to get the right man elected. We recommend two fine men and they are "Jack" Hill of Dundee and Les Cunningham of Belvidere. We know these two men to be of the highest repute and integrity. John B. "Jack" Hill is an official of the Hill Nursery of Dundee, one of the largest nurseries in the state and a thoroughly good business man. Les Cunningham has the same fine reputation in Belvidere. Jack Hill believes in principles, not promises. Both these men are for the best interests of the taxpayers of their district and are not afraid to meet the issue "head on." , Jack Hill was a pilot in World War II and completed 81 round trip missions over the "Himalayan Hump" to Nationalist China. He was also a co-pilot for United Air Lines and a test pilot for Lockheed Aircraft. Representative Hill received the "Outstanding Legislator" award from tl|e Illinois Small Business Association. The 33rd District is comprised of DeKalb, Kane, Kendall, McHenry and Boone Counties. We urge the support and election of John B. Hill and Les Cunningham so that we may be assured of solid conservative fiscally tax-minded representation in Springfield. George W. Lin We urge the support to re-elect George W. Lindberg of the 32nd District and send him back to Springfield. Mr. Lindberg made a splendid showing in the State Legislature and his district may very well be very proud of his record. George W. Lindberg has been a lifelong resident of McHenry County and lives in Crystal Lake. He was appointed to Illinois Crime Investigating Committee because of his extensive experience as a criminologist. Mr. Lindberg's integrity is above reproach and he has the best interest of the people of his district. This fine dedicated man should be returned to Springfield and we recommend him highly. "Beating The Drum" Why do we choose to "beat the drum" for The Salvation Army? 1 Because it feeds the hungry? Because it helps unwed mothers and their babies? Because it counsels families with problems...visits lonely shut-ins...helps alcoholics...and the inmates of penal institutions? Because it is invariably kind and compassionate in all its dealings with the troubled? These are all good reasons, and we could probably add a hundred more. But we'd like to wrap our arguments up in one tight package. In a world so filled with greed and hostility, it is reassuring to encounter the dedicated men and women of the Salvation Army...whose only goal is to serve...whose integrity is unquestioned...whose loyalty to principle is universally admired. We bring all this up because Friday, June 7, is Doughnut Day...in our town and in the total greater Chicago area. On Doughnut Day, you and I have an opportunity to honor the Salvation Army...to lend our support to the many Army programs for the distressed of every race and creed. All we have to do is buy a Doughnut Day tag, and wear it. Thattag is a badge of compassion for everyone of us. Public School Support The major support for public school districts in Illinois is still the local property tax. For the school year 1966-67 the property tax accounted for 60.21 percent of the receipts of Illinois public schools. A breakdown of where the money came from for this school year is as follows: Local property taxes State aid Federal aid School lunch Book rental & supplies Investment receipts Miscellaneous(athletics, adult education, etc.) 60.21% 24.55 6.65 >3.91 1.79 1.39 1.50 : 100.00% f On the other page of the ledger, the chief expenditure was for instructors' salaries, this item accounting for 53.29 percent of "how the money was spent." Operational expenditures (except capital outlay) totalled $1,366,118,036, or a per capita expenditure, based upon average daily attendance, of $691.92. When capital outlay and debt service were included, the total became $1,660,847,739, and the per capita expenditure rose to $841.19. A breakdown of how the money was spent for the 1966-67 school year is as follows: Instruction Capital outlay Attendance, health & Operation Bond retirement School lunch Student & community services Administration Fixed charges Interest Maintenance Transportation 53.29% 12.10 8.98 5.65 3.83 3.71 3.11 2.77 2.60 2.05 1.91 100.00% Selective Service Set out below are questions frequently asked of the Selective Service System along with appropriate answers. Your cooperation in printing or announcing these will be in the public interest. Q. When I reported for physical examination at the Armed Forces Examining Station, I was rejected for being ten pounds overweight. I am not now overweight. Am I expected to -report that change to my local board? A. Yes, within ten days of the date it is discovered that you are no longer overweight. Q. I am in jail for 90 days and my 18th birthday is coming up next week. How do I get registered so 1 don't get in some more trouble? A. The superintendent of the institution is probably a Selective Service registrar and will .register you on the way out. not, register immediately =>r your,release and explain delay to your loibal bbarfa in writing. Q. I am classified I-Y. Does this mean I will be reexamined? A. You may or may not be reexamined depending upon the reasons you are not currently qualified for military service. When other registrants in your age group with similar classification and circumstances are examined, your local board will review your case. Q. What facts are considered by the local board in determining a registrant's classification? A. Classification is determined solely on the basis of the official forms of the Selective Service System and such other written information as may be contained in a registrant's file. Oral information should be summarized in writing and placed in the registrant's file. Q. I want my attorney to go with me when I have my personal appearance before the local board. Must I file his name with the local board clerk in advance? A. It is not permissible for him to go with you in that Selective Service Regulations provide that no registrant may be represented before the local board by anyone acting as attorney or legal counsel. , ' Q. How many men have been inducted each year from IlSnois for the past four years? A. Total inductions for each of the last four calendar years are as follows: 1964 -- 7,825; 1965 ~ 16,353; 1966 ~ 24, 694; 1967 -- 12,891. SQUARES ON SHIP .. . Square dancing on a submarine?

An interesting seminar held • recently in Washington under the sponsorship of the House Republican Committee on Planning and Research was devoted to the subject of "Foreign Aid and Economic Development." The participants included eminent scholars and governmental officials from the United States and other nations -- including Professor Gunnar Myrdal of Sweden - internationally renowned authority on the subject of the less developed countries of the world. It would be difficult to reach specific conclusions on the basis of the illuminating and challenging presentations. On the other hand, all who participated offered expert opinions for improving "foreign aid". While the plight of most of the less developed nations appears to be more critical today than when foreign aid was undertaken initially more than twenty years ago, there are many encouraging examples of progress. The improvements which have taken place in Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand and Pakistan seem to demonstrate that foreign aid can contribute substantially to a country's development. On the other hand, the principal reason for success in these countries appears to lie within the countries themselves. Taiwan experienced a miraculous development of industry when the old rural landlords became the new industrial leaders. Freedom from restraints and encouragement of private enterprise also brought salutary results in South Korea and in Thailand. One of the seminar participants, Professor Gustav Ranis of Yale university emphasized that the key element in the internal development of a nation is the existance of "entrepreneurs". Such entrepreneurs or business leaders, who understand private enterprise, can apply its principles in a nation's development. There is an obvious need of" capital for improved machinery and equipment and the adoption of new methods and systems for increasing production. •, and reducing overhead* marketing of goods and other such practices associated with private enterprise appear also to be essential elements in the emergence of the less developed countries of the world. India and Pakistan are prime examples of what can occur when modern agricultural techniques are applied and the value of fertilizer is recognized. It will be recalled that a little over a year ago India was on the verge of mass starvation. But food production increased by almost 15 percent in a single year and the danger of starvation in India was removed. Today many nations, includ- McCLORY REPORTS From W ashington ing the Soviet Union, Germany and Japan, are participating in foreign aid programs through direct grants and loans. Various international organizations such as the Asian Development Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, and other such agencies administer large amounts of capital which are invested in the less developed countries. The old policy of providing foreign aid in the form of welfare for the most part has been abandoned. Instead, foreign aid is considered today mainly as an investment and as a stimulus to individual effort. However, most of the nations of Africa and South America appear to have benefitted very little, if at all, from foreign aid programs. Some of those governments are so notoriously corrupt and so replete with bureaucratic controls and regulations that private investors are reluctant to risk their capital. Many government officials have become. rich while the plight of their impoverished citizens has became even more precarious. The "experts" seem to agree that whenever possible foreign aid funds should be administered through private enterprise leaders within the less developed nations. This, in turn, stimulates the initiative and activity within the nation itself and the drive for progress is on. Professor Ranis pointed out significantly that when one part of the econdmy begins to develop, the entire economy is stimulated Progress and prosperity reap widespread benefits and set off a chain reaction which appears to permeate the entire national fabric. The problem persists that too few nations have been affected by the private enterprise drive. It is hoped that efforts in the years ahead will produce more encouraging results.

State Fair Manager Franklin Rust said both rides are being . installed at the concessionaire's expense. One is a huge sliding board with several parallel lanes. The slide is 175 feet long and 35 feet high and is made of structural steel set in concrete. The sliding surface is thick fiberglass and weatherproof. This attraction Will be in the playground area, across the street from Happy Hollow. The other new permanent ride will carry fair visitors over Happy Hollow in Swiss gondolas. The loading station will be across the street and slightly south of the Exposition building, from where patrons will'ride high above the Olson Shows in Happy Hollow. Riders may debark at the opposite side of Happy Kollow or they may purchase a round trip ticket and return, via the cable, to the original loading station.
