What's more, our Plaindealer employees say their contributions are not only novel but true. A brand new one that beats anything we've heard came two weeks ago from a new lady employee from the East. She walked in twenty minutes late one morning with the straight-faced story that she was caught in the car wash, which continued to turn on, and on, and on. She even ventured a fear that if the paint didn't disappear by noon, at the very least she might find her large new station wagon had shrunk, leaving her with something similar to the little "bug" she had just traded in. A few days later another of our ladies made a late entrance, telling us that a stray cat which only recently had adopted her, jumped through a small window^ q^emng into her car during tj(i6 night. In the morningf theffjimily pet poodle was seen peeking into the vehicle, welcoming three small kittens born in the warmth and comfort of the padded seat. Now newspaper folks are, by nature, suspicious, butourpublisher "bought" both of the above tales. We'd be glad to add any other Success stories of this type to our list.

After hearing their congressmen speak on this subject, a question and answer session will give everyone a chance to make their feelings known toward such a tax known to these legislators. Mr. Roberts pointed out that "we hear a lot about the financial crisis the state of Illinois is in; this forum will provide an opportunity to find dut the facts, first hand, of this purported crisis." He added further, "we, as taxpayers, are faced with what is probably the largest tax increase in modern times in Illinois or possibly any other state". He urges everyone who can possible be there to "make this effort to find out all we can about it and tell our legislators how we, their constituents, feel about a decision of this importance."
