During the recent McHenry County Fair, the John Birch society booth conducted an opinion poll among interested visitors. Ninety-three questionnaires were returned. Members felt this was a good response. In answer to the question, "Do you think the power and size of the federal government should be: a) decreased; b) increased, or c) maintained at present levels," an overwhelming 56 thought it should be decreased. The local J.B.S. members found this significant, in the face of present, trends toward increased size and scope of government. Of eight questions on issues of vital current interest, the two questions which generated the largest number of identical replies were: "Do you believe the TV, radio and newspapers are giving you a) objective news; b) controlled news?" A whopping 67 out of the 93 replied that they were being given controlled news. The second most concerted reply was to the query, "In your estimation, will our heritage of freedom and abundance be preserved by: a) the 'silent' majority; b) citizens becoming Legal Notice IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE 19TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, McHENRY COUNTY, ILLINOIS PROBATE DIVISION ESTATE OF LAWRENCE A.

The next highest response was to the question of shortages. Forty eight persons agreed that shortages are caused primarily, by government interference in the free- enterprise system. In answer to the vitally important question of what country is responsible for 80 percent of the heroin used by an ever-increasing number of our youth, only 38 people understood that it is Red China, not Turkey, which is the culprit here. Heroin, according to the society, is the major export crop of the Communist Chinese government, and vast areas of collectives are presently under cultivation. The local members of the John Birch society have undertaken to distribute information documenting this fact, some of it, they say, from goverrynent hearings which have never been made public. Ask Clergy To Cooperate In Safety Drive Secretary of State Michael J. Howlett has issued a plea to all Illinois clergymen to join in a campaign he hopes will reduce traffic fatalities over the Labor Day weekend In a letter mailed Aug. 19, Howlett asked ministers, priests and rabbis to use whatever means available to emphasize to their congregations that safe driving is a moral responsibility. He asked that they concentrate their efforts on the weekend of Aug. 25. "Respect for human life is basic to all religions," said Howlett. "There is no better way to show that respect than through safe driving." Last year, there were fifty fatalities over the Labor Day weekend in Illinois. Howlett said the National Safety council projects that 450 to 550 motorists will lose their lives on our nation's highways over the Labor day weekend this year, from 6 p.m. Friday to midnight Monday. "This is the lowest national projection since 1963," Howlett said, "but by stressing moral responsibility we hope to lower the toll even more in Illinois." A total of 559 motorists were killed over the Labor day weekend last year. During past generations, the salt shaker was very often the most valuable and ornate thing on the family table. Salt was scarce and valuable. Karen Kottke 385-6675 Pet Population Provides Problems For Residents It seems as if the pet population has increased considerably in this area since we've become more populated. We are beginning to have a problem with the number of animals running at large. Many of our new residents may not be aware of the leash laws in McHenry county. These laws apply to all domestic pets, not just dogs. All pets are to be confined to a pen or yard, if you do not have a fenced yard, then the pet is to be on a leash! Anyone may call the County Rabies Control if an animal is at large. If for no other reason than your pet's safety, please see that your animal is on a leash or penned. No one has to put up with an unwanted animal. Have enough respect for your neighbor to contain your pet within your property boundaries. We may live in an unincorporated area, but the laws are applicable here as well as in incorporated areas. Don't be angry with your neighbor for calling the Rabies Control about your pet if you haven't enough love for the animal to keep it out of trouble. If everyone was considerate enough and cared enough to see that their pets were properly restrained, the Rabies Control Department would be out of business. As I've warned before -- the county uses a tranquilizer gun on animals at large; the tranquilizer is powerful enough to fell a large animal, that means that when used on a small animal it will be fatal. The choice of responsibility is up to the pet owner. SOFTBALL LEAGUE The McHenry Women's Softball League was awarded two trophies over the Aug. 17-18 weekend. In the Saturday game, Debbie Mahon hit a grand slam homer which helped the team to win the first place trophy in the McHenry County Girls Softball League tournament. In Sunday's game against Hebron, Eileen Connell pitched five of the six innings played in the game. Eileen left the game with a 13-0 shutout in the progress. The game was called at the end of the sixth inning with McHenry winning 17-2. This win enabled the McHenry team to capture first place in the Women's Softball tournament. LEADERSHIP NEEDED The Holiday Hills Girl Scout troop 478 is in desperate need of leadership. The past year's troop leaders are both deeply involved in other activities and are unable to provide the necessary leadership for the troop in the coming year Anyone interested may contact Marge Connell at 385-3756, Tillie Williams at 385-8654, or Linda Thietje at 385-6483 for details. The troop begins its year in September and a registration drive should be the first week of September, so time is of the essence. If new leadership for this troop is not found the troop will lose its charter, so it's hopeful that the mothers of girls to be enrolled as Girl Scouts this year will give this problem serious consideration. VISITORS We'd like to wish a warm welcome to Scott and Pegi Brill from San Bernardino, Calif. The Brills' ten month old daughter, Candi, accompanied them for the cross country trip. Pegi is Debi Bowen's sister. The Bowen family are recent additions to our community. Hope the visit is pleasant for all. BOWLING FINALS The Ladies Thursday Nite Handicap League held an awards banquet at a local McHenry restaurant on Thursday, Aug. 22. Prizes were awarded in the following categories - First place trophies to team 6; Maddy Radunz, Anna Harris, Velma Garrelts and Dee Moerdick; Individual high series scratch award to Martha Williams with a 503; Individual high game scratch to Velma Garrelts with a 205 game; Individual high series with handicap to Maddy Radunz - 638; Individual high game with handicap to Sharon Mazza with a 252; and Most Improved Average to Anna Harris with a 21 point increase from an 80 to a 101 over the season. All the gals enjoyed bowling in the summer league and we're looking forward to next year's league.
