Yet, in today's fastmoving wotfld, faith in our moral principles, in the future of our country, "in the goodness within our fellow men, and in ourselves rls a most vital character asset. In the ^business world one must have faith in his business - if he expects others to have that same faith. All of us, likewise, must maintain faith in our fellow men, for when that is gone it is not long before one's outlook changes. Usually it changes to that of a totter, frustrated individual. For peace of mind, happiness and an understanding of life and what is' to be accomplished with it, fiaith seems to be a key. If you have hone, or very little, do something about it. The Deadline Is Now " • /V'. * Retailers who did not startChristmas advertising by the middle of November may have startedTtoolate. The development of a Christmas shopping list is a tdsk which requires weeks, and oftentimes months. For a ldirke part of the public, Christmas shopping is more a problem qffinding and choosing than a problem of expense. Good Christmas: advertising, then, is more service than selling. In a society where the basics of food, clothing, and recreation are obtained as a matter of routine, the best gifts are those which are the mdst appreciated in terms of sentiment. In such a situation, effective advertising performs a service which may, serve the consumer timeandmoney„ But more important, it is & service which may result in satisfactions more important than money or time. During the gift - buying seasons, such as Christmas and Easter, service advertising should take most of the legwork and worry out qf&hopping. It displays the wares of dozens of shops in the home of the shopper. It offers fresh suggestions which extend the imagination of the buyer. Comparative information on a. multitude of options is offered-^ to the consumer only in newspaper advertising. And, for the information to beof full use to the consumer, it is offered only at the poinfcof purchase in the local newspaper. ReVenue Fund Hits Low The state's General Revenue fund will soon reach the low point prophesied by Gov. Samuel H. Shapiro and legislative leaders of both political parties last July. With the balance in this fund about to dip below $20 million, the Governor, last week, transferred $30 million to the General Revenue fund from the Motor Fuel Tax reserve of municipalities, counties, townships, and road districts. . Last July a tentative program was worked out by the Govenor and legislative leaders to allay a shortage in the General Revenue-fund caused chiefly by the Service Occupation Tax on four industries being held unconstitutional by the Illinois Sipreme court. The tentative program authorized a transfer of not to exceed $60 million from the Motor Fuel Tax reserve of local governments, froze capital improvements that were not strictly of an iimninent nature, and put into practice ?n-&usterity program on state spending. Will this plan get the state programs 1iiroqgh|iie next biera$|l petfod?^jsuiswer is "no". .7 j ' Why? Because the programs on the book will cost more. The 1967-69 appropriation for the operating funds of institutions of higher learning is $592,601,824; the 1969-71 reiluestfor same is $977^862,575, an increase requested of $385,260,751; (money comes from the General Revenue fund and income fund sources); the capital expenditure requests for such institutions is some $54 million more than the current biennium. Added to this is the fact that the public aid programs will need a deficiency or supplemental appropriation of around $100 million in the early days of the 76th General Assembly, which convenes in January, to complete this biennium; the causes of such a supplemental are the Federal court ruling holding the one-year residence requirement to geton such programs unconstitutional and the rising costs of such material items as medicine. Then too, according to present'statute, provision will have to be made by the Legislature to repay the $60 million back to the Motor Fuel Tax reserve of local governments during the 76 th biennial period. In addition, an increase of the Common School Fund formula from $400 to $500 per pupil in average daily attendance, for example, with adjusted increases in local property tax qualifying rates, will cost an additional $325 million to $400 million in the next two-year period. It will be necessary for a strict, three-way pruning job to be done on appropriation requests in the next few weeks and months. The, Governor's office; the Budgetary commission and the Legislature' will have to critically analyze appropriation requests. , We wish you feuppy 99 • -,:vit- • \: : & jV Attitudes & Platitudes Jerry Marcus Almost 80%»of«1he vehicles involved in fatal accidents in 1967 wererpa$senger cars. - « ILLINOIS SESQUI1CRAPBOQK BY DON RUSSELL AND JERRY WARSHAW ROLLING CARPETS . . .

"Dear Editor: " There is a chaotic condition that we read and hear about. It is budget, bucket and taxes, taxes, taxes. It is a problem that is like the expression, Chinese Puzzle. "Therefore I want to offer an example which I am familiar with, the state of Florida. Very good fire and police protection. Good roads, sand beaches all along the ocean and the tax situation isthis. Personalproperty tax, exemption $1,000; Homestead tax* exemption, $5,000. No ^personal tax on your automobile for in the majority it is a necessity. No sales tax on food. | "Now for the state of Illinois , where our roots are too deep to dig 19. This state was once an agricultural state and is now in the majority industrial. This - means the income from taxable property should be, and is, excessive. How can the state of Florida do it and Illinois cannot without excessive taxation and continual shortages? Somewhere there is a leak inthe dike. It is time Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Citizen, who pay for it all, look into the situation and get the leak mended. "Also we now have Con-con with its salaried delegates and election expenses which will add to the tax situation. Therefore I would like to add an important change that may not need con - con. When an elected official takes oath of office this should be inserted. I swear to help bring about whatever is needed and is good for the majority regardless of party label. And I can assure everyone that when the time comes for re-- election, the result will be, they will be brought back over and over again. For the proof is in the pudding. Can anyone solve this puzzle? "Mrs. Nettie Sarley "Lake moor" "Christmas Arountf- v^he World", long recognized as one of the nation's most popu?. lar Yuletide festivals, will open at the Museum of Science ^and Industry on Saturday, Nov* 30, and continue through New' Year's Day, it is announced by Daniel M. MacMaster, the Museum's president. Now in its twenty - seventh year, the festival will have all the spectator appeal that hag brought it collective audiences ranging well over the quarter million mark in each of the past five years. Its glamor will be assured by sparkling decorations andvarihued lights by the thousands, adorning a forest of giant Christmas trees; native pageantry traditional atthe Yuletide tothe different countriesofEurope and Latin America; and a nightly series of exotic festive dinners, like those served abroad during the holidays. Members of twenty - one Chicago - area ethnic groups are working to insure that this year's Christmas season spectacle will be among the most successful ever in capturing the spirit of the season for people of all ages and nationality backgrounds. Beginning Thanksgiving Day morning, 18 towering Christmas trees will rise in the Museum's central rotunda, with three creches set among them. Decoration of each will reflect the cherished age-old traditions of a different nationality group. Workers from these groups will have completed their decorating tasks in time for the festival's opening two days later. Stage presentations in the Museum's 1,000-seat main auditorium will begin Saturday, Nov. 30 and continue through Sunday, Dec. 15. During that period, CERTAIN WAR SOUVENIRS TO REREGISTERED Servicemen, ex - servicemen and others who have certain types of unregistered war trophies as souvenirs may be in violation of the Gun Control Act of 1968, unlessth<^e weapons or aevic&s 3re registered with the Internal Revenue Service by Ddc. 1. Mr. Coyle, district director of Internal Revenue for Northern Illinois, said that machine guns, sawed - off shotguns, sawed- off rifles, bazookas, rockets, mortars, bombs, mines, grenades , and similar destructive devices that have been retained as souvenirs or war trophies must be registered or turned in by the deadline. Representatives of the IRS Alcohol and Tobacco Tax division will offer assistance in registering or disposing of any such weapons or devices. Owners should not bring the weapon or device to the IRS but should call, write or visit the nearest Alcohol and Tobacco Tax or other IRS office for information and assistance. The law provides that those who fail to register or dispose of the specified firearms or destructive devices which they possess, may be subject to imprisonment up to 10years, fines up to $10,000 or both. A few people hurry to get ahead, while many hurry to catch up. RESPIRATORY DISEASES There is no vaccine that makes people immune to all Respiratory Diseases. And none that is suitable for everyone.
