It recalls that the local Smith -Hoover club announced a smoker to be held at the Legion club rooms, where "a radio will be hooked up to listen to the address of A1 Smith, to be delivered in Chicago^'. We've come a long, long way to 1968, when the fun is all taken away by an announcement to be made shortly after the polls are closed that a mechanical tabulator has already confidently predicted, down to a small percentage point, the final vote. However, there may still be some excitement CNI Nov. 5 since the three-way race makes chances of the presidential election being thrown into the House of Representatives a very real possibility. Only twice has such an election been thrown into the House because no candidate received a majority of electoral votes. That was in 1800, when Jefferson won, and in 1824, when John Quincy Adams was elected. Almost fifty years ago the U.S. was groaning under the same thundering oratory and rolling bandwagons that comprise a presidential election campaign, with one hair-raising difference - women were about to cast-their votes for the first time in a nationwide scale. Opponents of a woman suffrage had charged that giving women the right to vote might desex them, or might turn politics into a morality play. History has proved them wrong on both counts. But 1920 wasn't the first time women had voted. Congress had left the decision to the states, and New Jersey at first permitted its women to vote. But men had second thoughts and the state took back the privilege in 1807. As women joined the labor force in the new factories, and began to help men fight for temperance and the abolition of slavery, they gained a forum to air their pet peeves. A meeting at Seneca Falls, N.Y. which has been called the first woman suffrage convention in the U.S., stirred public discussion in 1948. Two years later reformers jvale and female, from the entire country assembled at Worcester, Mass., as the Woman's Rights convention. (Continued on page 5) The Development of Human Resources study group of the League of Women Voters of Woodstock - McHenry is conducting a housing survey of McHenry County in preparation for November consensus meetings. The grot®), chaired by Mrs. Erwin Zipse, includes Mrs. James Miyashiro, Mrs. Orient Malone, Mrs. Joseph Lewis* Mrs. James Jarvis and Mrs. Lyle Johnson. "Poverty is often hidden. Many people in our county live in conditions most of us would find shocking and intolerable." said Mrs. Zipse in commenting on the need for her group's activities. CONDUCT INTERVIEWS Besides digging out statistics and sampling public opinion, the members of the committee have interviewed John Cottingham, Woodstock city manager, James Hecht, director of the McHenry County Housing Authority, and George Jedlicka, County Build- WAYNE BARES NAMED COUNTY COLLEGE OFFICE# Nineteen enthusiastic and interested Junior college students along with their two advisors^. Dean Mealey and George Cowf. gill, make up the Pro-Tein Student Government of Mi- Henry County college. Recently, two agencies reached agreement and merged to form the Family Service and Mental Health Clinic for McHenry county. Agreement was reached between the board of directors of the Family Service Agency for McHenry county and the board of directors of the Mental Health center for McHenry county to accomplish a joint use of facilities and services. The clinic location will be in McHenry at the present site of the Mental Health Center. The first board meeting of the new coalition took place on Wednesday, Oct. 9. Prior to the merger, discussions were held between Robert Englert, president, Joseph Gitlin, secretary, Mrs. David Goldsmith, all from the Family Service Agency for McHenry <£> O O -v -i C lllJpii , . *A- •V 1% ..

These men agreed on the need for INVOLVES FORMER LOCAL RESIDENTS One of the miracles of modern medicine -- the transplant of human organs - came cfoser to McHenry in recent days because of the involvement of former residents. The eventful day of surgery was Oct. 21 in Loma Linda hospital, Loma Linda, Calif., renowned for its work in kidney transplants, an operation still in its infancy (15 years). The second phase was Friday, Oct. 25, when removal was made of the useless organ, with an announcement that both patients were doing "very well". Hie donor was Mrs. Ernestine Christian, a former resident of McHenry who now makes her home in Chicago. The recipient was her sister, Mrs. Norma Burns of Sunnymead, Calif., youngest of three daughters of the late Dr. and Mrs. Henry Freund of McHenry. The doctors are optomistic over the initial progress of Mrs. Burns. Mrs. Christian was scheduled to be released Tuesday of this week. The third sister, Mrs. A.J. Wirtz, left for California, last Monday, where she will care for Mrs. Christian and accompany her home in about a week. ' The surgery involving the sisters was of interest since there is an important element of "matching" of many physical factors. Closely related people are said to be most often successful donors, with less chance of the kidney being rejected. VOTER SERVICE The County Clerk's office will be open Saturday, Nov. 2, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. This will be for the convenience of anyone wishing to vote an absentee ballot. This will be the last day for anyone to vote an absentee ballot, in person, for the Nev. 5 general election. Nov. 2, will also be the last day to vote, for anyone receiving a notification to come into this office to vote for president and vice - president. low-income housing in this area. It was pointed out that housing is a factor in the difficulty local industries have hiring unskilled and semi-skilled labor. Efforts to obtain funds for low-income housing are hampered by the absence of housing codes. Mr. Cottingham stated that the Woodstock City Council has such a code under consideration, while Mr. Jedlicka felt that lack of public interest was probably the reason the County Board of Supervisors has not yet acted on his recommendation to institute a housing code. INTEGRATED EDUCATION Recent State League workshops have also concentrated on the theme of human resources development. A meeting in Northbrook, attended by Mrs. Daniel Weisz, Mrs. Frank Sek, Mrs. Jack Loggins, Mrs. James Miyashiro and Mrs. Lyle Johnson, presented a discussion of integrated education. Ak this session Mrs. James Sha^ifSt^/ explained the background, scope and present operation of the Redmond Plan. Ben Williams, (Continued on page 5) Minors Warned On Driver Law Sheriff John C. Carroll, in reviewing arrests of juveniles in recent weeks, has noted that there is an increasing number of violations for driving by unlicensed minors. He points to the driving license law which states clearly that no person may drive any motor vehicle or motorcycle upon the highways of the state unless a valid driver's license or permit has been issued by the Secretary of State's office. He points out that motorcycles and mini-bikes are classified as a motor vehicle. Sheriff Carroll feels the warning is necessary since any arrests as a minor may certainly have a bearing at a later date when he decides, or is eligible, for a permit and later a driver's license. results were as follows: Presl dent, Ron Taylor, Fox Lake; Vice-president, Wayne Bares, McHenry; secretary, Joan Leahy, Crystal Lake; and treasurer, Connie Jaeckels;, Woodstock. The immediate responsibility is to draft a constitution. Other Student Government responsibilities are approving all student organizations on campus. The Drama club and the Ski club have petitioned to have their constitutions approved. HALLOWEEN BABY In future years, the newborn son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Kelly of 5313 W. Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake, won' t need to trick-or-treat unless he really wants to. He will be treated anyway, just because Halloween is his birthday. The infant, as yet unnamed, was born at 6:55 Thursday morning, Oct. 31, at McHenry hospital Mental Health center and William Tammeus, president of the center board of directors. Approval of the merger was made by the Mental Health board. Members of the McHenry County Mental Health board include Dr. Wilt of McHenry. George Mally, administrator for the Mental Health center, will also serve as administrator for the Family Service and Mental Health Clinic for McHenry County. "It will now mean that patients can be assured of better care for their needs," said Mally. "It will mean to the staff and to the patient that needs will be met more rapidly for more people. Additional services hitherto unsupplied in the past, will be available now, and because of the common auspice of the two services, the formality of referring to another agency will be eliminated. (Continued on page 5) (An Editorial) Familiar words in political circles -- "It's time for a change" -- are being heard again as another nation-wide election draws near. Only this time they have a stronger and more persistent ring, indicating that the ^time is now, A desire for change has been evident before, but the temptation to relinquish a false economy maintained by inflation, and voting out government doles, required more individual independence than many could muster. But there comes a time when the conscience of the majority must be served. That time is now It means a general trend to the Republican ticket headed by Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew Our special interest lies in sending Everett M. Dirksen back to the U.S. Senate and Robert McClory to the House. Within our own state government it means putting Richard Ogilvie into the Governor's seat, Donald Carpentier into the office of Secretary of State and William J. Scott into that of Attorney General. e We also endorse the candidacies of Lester Cunningham and "Jack" Hill for re-election to the General Assembly. On the national level, and for many state offices, we have waited too long. The time is now Clyde, the cooperative Bassethouse owned by Mr. and Mrs. Donald Howard, displays this important message not to indicate that politics have "gone to the dogs" but rather to stimulate interest in the forthcoming election. Pretty Jeanine Sek, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Frank Sek, who some day hopes to emulate her mother's efforts to win voter interest, dons an appro- ' priate hat and carries the flag as she displays what the well dressed League of WomeinPs Voters member should wear. The League stresses a large and informed vote at the polls nepct Tuesday. PLAINDEALER PHOTO Several thousands of registered voters in the eighteen McHenry township precincts are expected to join others throughout the county and nation in going to the polls next Tuesday, Nov. 5, to express themselves on candidates and issues. The polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Voting for the first time by votomatic machines locally in a general election, the following names will be presented: President and Vice-President: George C.

Without knowledge that he was under consideration, the school Administration and High School Teachers association met to name a local teacher of the year. This was followed closely by an effort to obtain a file containing various background material concerning M.\ Anglese's long and successful teaching career and also included testimonial letters. His file, along with those of representatives of each high school and grade school district in the county, was submitted to County Supt. Richard Taze- (Continued on page 5) i'i
