By BOB JUSTEN Did you ever wonderwhere, whenandby whom Father's Day was initiated? In 1910, Mrs. John Dodd started the custom in Spokane, Washington. A quarter of a cen­ tury later in 1936, a national Father's Day Committee was formed with headquarters in New York. Prominent men have through the years been chosen as "Father Of The Year" Our selection this year, and every year, is and has been plural. These men are typical "Dear Old Dad" seen everywhere, known everywhere, in every commun­ ity. There ane many millions of them. In their circle of family and friends, these typical fathers deserve the distinction of being father of the year just as much, and perpaps more so than the nationally publicized distinguished men. These "Dear Old Dads" have de­ voted a life time to the needs of their families. As a loyal employee or as a considerate, thoughtful employer, these "Dear Old Dads" have shown, by example, how to face realities; how to have humble trust in God. We salute every one of them. They deserve 'their day' more often than once a year!.. .GEORGE R. JUSTEN FUNERAL HOME, 3519 W. Elm Street, McHenry, 111. Phone 385-2400. Attending were I la Hogan.

Legislation Asks To Chaige Mineral Tax Collection The Illinois Senate has passed and sent to Gov. Daniel Walker legislation (H.B. 128) that would alter the collection of sales tax on minerals to the benefit of downstate counties where they are mined. Senator Jack Schaffer, R- Cary, who supported the measure, has urged citizens to write Gov. Walker urging he sign the legislation. The bill, which has passed the House of Representatives, was approved in the Senate by a vote of 32-14 on June 7. Senator Schaffer com­ mented: "Under present law the sales tax collected on minerals ex­ tracted in Illinois is collected at the place of sale, which is primarily in the city of Chicago where most large mineral companies have corporate headquarters. Those of us who live in gravel mining areas end up with broken windshields and torn up roads. Areas of abandoned gravel pits lower the property tax base and receive no sales tax where the minerals have been extracted. "This bill changes the law, providing that the sales tax be collected in the county where the substances are mined. "Enactment of the legislation would shift som^ $4 million in sales tax collections from Chicago to downstate counties FATHER'S DAY CARDS where the money rightfully should be collected. "This money is the local share of the sales tax ( 1 cent). "I urge constituents of the 33rd district to write the governor indicating their desire he sign this legislation so that the tax collected on minerals benefit our district." North Carolina Choir To Visit City June 16-23 First Baptist church, McHenry, will be host to an out- of-state choir group June 16 through June 23.

The public is invited to hear these young people at the band shell in the city park at 8 p.m. For the children of McHenry and surrounding areas, sixteen backyard Bible clubs, which are the equivalent of a miniature vacation Bible school, have been planned. This choir comes from First Baptist church, Albemarle, North Carolina, and is com­ posed of high school and college students.
