Paul Fannin (R.-Ariz.) introduced in the Senate a bill relating to the commis­ sion of a crime of violence in the District of Columbia by means of a firearm or other dangerous or deadly wea­ pon. The bill, S. 327, would empower the D.C. courts in sentencing those convicted of a crime involving the use of a gun to: ' in addition to the punishment provided for the crime be punished by imprisonment for a term of not less than five years or more than life as determined by the court." The bill also states: ' the court shall not suspend his sentence or give him a probationary sen­ tence." In introducing his bill, Sen. Fannin said, "the effect on the criminal, and would-be criminal, would be to make him think and consider the consequence before attempting crime while using a firearm." On February 4, 1969, Sen. Mike Mansfield (D.-Mont.) introduced in the Senate the following bill, S. 849, that provides stiff mandatory sentences for persons using or carrying firearms during the commission of a felony. The bill provides that: ' in addition to the punishment pro­ vided for the commission of such felony, be sentenced to a term of imprisonment for not less than one year nor more than ten years. In the case of his second or subse­ quent conviction under this sub-section, such person shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment for not less than twenty-five years." The Mansfield bill also stipulates that: ' the court shall not suspend the sentence of such person or give him a probationary sentence nor shall the term of imprisonment imposed under this sub-section run concurrently with any term of imprisonment impos­ ed for the commission of such felony.' Sen. Mansfield says that his approach is one, "that says to the criminal in terms that are clear and simply that the use of a gun will be met with punishment that fits such an act of violence." FLA urges its members and supporters to support the Fannin and Mansfield Bills. This legislation makes sense. Make your elected repre­ sentatives aware of your views. We at McHenry Gun Center wholeheartedly support both S. 327 and S. 849 as introduced. We fell that it is a step in the right direction when our legislators move to punish the unlawful use of firearms. Instead of trying to legislate away the freedoms of lawabiding sportsmen.

Juniors Will Give "Harvey" Next weekend, Nov. 7, 8and 9 the juniors.of McHenry high school will present Mary Chase's "Harvey" in the West Cam­ pus auditorium. The cast has been in rehearsal for about four weeks, and the show is cu­ rrently being polished in pre­ paration for the opening night, a week away. The story of "Harvey" deals with one Elwood P. Dowd, a man who sees a large white rabbit. That, in itself, seems plausi­ ble, but the rabbit is really large - king size! And it talks back to him. And* much worse, nobody else can see him. El- wood's sister, Veta Louise, de­ cides that she's had enough of the furry creature so she carts Elwood off to Chumley's Rest, a home for wayward minds on the outskirts of town. But El­ wood, with the help of his invis­ ible friend, isn't ready to be stowed away quite yet, and ma­ ny hijinks ensue till the happy conclusion. Allen W. Lyndrup, director of the play, says of his show, "We have two unusual things going for us in this play that ought to make it a very delight­ ful evening. First of all, we have a spirited and talented cast that shows much confidence in their abilities, and second we have the most elaborate set that we've ever attempted here at McHenry high. Couple these with the comfortable and plea- sent new McHenry West campus auditorium, throw in a few good audiences, and Harvey should be a grand success." In the cast of Harvey are Scott Fuhler playing Elwood, Sandy Betts as Veta Louise, Valerie Rode as Mrs. Ethel Chauvenet, and Mary Francis UNIT 491 By Kay Luing The American Legion post and Auxiliary Unit No. 491, en­ tertained a busload of twenty- five veterans from Downey at the post home recently.
