Fun In The Sun For Worthy Cause ( isracttn § mmmmm Off For A Snowy Ride Mrs. Sandra Christensen, UCP drive chairman in Wonder Lake, in cooperation with snowmobile owners and businessmen in that area, treated residents to snowmobile rides last Sunday between 1:30 and 3:20. The afternoon of fun was offered in return for a donation to the United Cerebral Palsy association. Snowmobiles have been used in exploration trips in the Arctic, and are being used in many parts of the showy north as a means of saving lives, through the delivery of much needed medicine to outlying area. In this part of the country they are looked upon as a fun type winter sport, but are in reality a very worthwhile innovation. Last Sunday they took on a whole new concept -- giving rides to the public so that cerebral palsied youngsters might be helped to walk.

FEB. 5, 1969 r H i l l Hit McCLORY REPORTS From W ashington No one should be too surprised if--in 1972 or even in 1976--former President Lyndon B. Johnson tries for a return to the White Mouse. Having voluntarily retired as our nation's Chief Executive, President Johnson is eligible to be reelected and to serve again for another full term. The Twenty-second Amendment to the Constitution limits a President to two four-year terms, but the year which Lyndon Johnson served as President, following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, poses no obstacle. In addition to possible service as President, there is a remote possibility that LBJ might return as a member of the United States Senate. Other former presidents have been elected to the Congress subsequent to their presidential terms. Included are President John Quincy Adams who served sixteen years in the U. S. House of Representatives after completirjg four years in the White House and President Andrew Johnson who returned to the United States Senate from his native state of Tennessee subsequent to his presidential term. Former President Lyndon B. Johnson might rely upon . these precedents. Primary among the reasons to suspect Lyndon B. Johnson's secret ambition to return to national public life is his unique and spectacular personal appearance before the Joint Session of the Congress to deliver his final State of the Union message. This dramatic performance was hardly consistent with the role of one aiming to fade quietly into the privacy of retirement. His deliberate presentation--with generous accolades tossed to Republicans and Democrats alike, and particularly to the influential members of Congress from across our broad country--illustrated clearly the vote-getting strategy employed so effectively in the successful political career of the "retiring" Chief Executive. The result: even some of his bitterest antagonists are saying nice things -- today--abojit LBJ. In addition to the "record" to which Mr. Johnson referred so proudly before the Joint Session are--(a) the seemingly interminable war in Southeast Asia, (b) an uneasy economic situation, and (c) an unprecedented wave of crime and disorder. These were part of the "record" which Vice President Humphrey--as the Democratic nominee--was unable to overcome, following the strategic announcement of the President that he would not carry the standard (or bear the burden) for the Democrats in 1968. Even though President Richard Nl. Nixon will'lead the nation in promoting those things which need to ,be done, the hard decisions he must make may not enhance Republican popularity across the country. Meanwhile an aura of affection and respect will surround Lyndon B. Johnson as he "waits in the wings." He may emerge occasionally from his vast Texas ranch to deliver scholarly and appealing lectures on university campuses, touching upon the great problems which plague the nation, (some of which--as President-- he helped to create and all of which he failed to solve). It may be he will be waiting--indeed-- to serve the nation or, at least, his beloved State of Texas again. In 1972 (at the age of 64) with the expectation of robust health, LBJ would be ripe for a return to the White House. if he could snatch this "mandate" from an anxious scion of the Kennedy family, he would relish the "call to duty" even more. It could hardly be questioned that~Lady Bird, as well as Luci and Lynda and their families, would enjoy a return to Washington, also. Exceptpossibly-- the late Franklin D. Roosevelt (who was elected for four terms) no one seems to have derived more satisfaction from residing at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue than Lyndon B. Johnson and his family. After "sitting it out" for four years on the banks of the DIG THIS Ice age mastodons once roamed east central Illinois. This was revealed last week when remains of an elephantlike animal were kicked up in Lincolnwood subdivision east of Urbana. Richard Burke and Lloyd Nelson, both of Oakwood, who were operating a ditching machine, cut through fragments of bone and turned up three gigantic teeth. Floyd Lee of Lee, Inc., excavationtengineers and contractors of Oakwood, reported the find to Dr. Charles Collinson, paleontologist with the Illinois State Geological Survey. Dr. Collinson identified the remains as belonging to Mammut americanus, the American mastodon, and an important paleontological discovery. The ten pounds of fragmental bone he collected are now being analyzed by Stephen Kim, radiochemist in charge of the survey's radiocarbon analysis laboratory, to determine their Pedernales, it is entirely conceivable that Lyndon and Lady Bird would welcome a return to the nation's capital on the banks of the Potomac. Who knows? When Lyndon B. Johnson uttered his "farewell" State of the Union message, did he really mean "Adios!" (Goodbye!) or "Hastala vista?" (Till we meet again?) age. An age of approximately 11,000 years is anticipated. MILLIONS IN GRANTS Almost $10 million in federal grants has been awarded hospitals and medical care facilities in 11 Illinois communities. A total of $9,679,895 in Hill- Burton funds to assist in the construction and equipping of community hospitals and other institutions was announced by Franklin D. Yoder, director the Department of Public Health. The Illinois Advisory Hospital council has reviewed each application and recommended approval of the grant. Dr. Yoder said the awards are tentative, subject to final approval of the Public Health Service, acting for the Federal Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
