Each candidate was allowed three minutes to speak, then there was a question and answer period. I wonder if people of this county realize what a valuable op­ portunity this was. It is perhaps the most non-partisan political program available -- a chance for an average citizen to really see the candidates, hear their opinions, and learn about county government. "I was prompted to write this because there was such a poor turnout - perhaps ten people who weren't either candidates or members of the League. I'm not a League of Women Voters member, advertising future programs. I'm a person who was nervous about going to this meeting because I wasn't sure what to expect -- hey folks, it was easy! People were happy to explain things to me that I didn't know. I was nervous about feeling a little ignorant, but it's amazing how much one can learn by listening. "If you aren't involved in straight party ticket politics, this could have been one way to become a more knowledgeable voter on Nov. 5. The people on the ballot might have been more real to you -- maybe you'd feel more like voting. "The League of Women Voters will continue to sponsor these programs. Watch for them. They are over for this election, but there will be more candidates, more elections. "Sincerely, "Bonnie Gaza "4904 W. Bonner Drive "McHenry" Vineyard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Rubin Vineyard of 1921 Main street, is an automatic flight control specialist with the 58th Avionics Maintenance squadron. THE VOTING PRIVILEGE "Dear Editor: "Experts are predicting a light turnout for this year's general election on Nov. 5th due to such things as voter con­ fusion, disgust, and Widespread protest against recent hap­ penings in Washington. "May I point out that if we do not take an interest in what our elected officials are doing now, we might as well give up the struggle for the preservation of our liberties. I am sure £orruptable officials and can­ didates will accept such an abdication of our right and desire to fight for our freedom as a green light to any kind of chicanery that they might devise for their own benefit. "Here are a few well worn cliches that have greatly benefited these same self- serving politicians: '"We have no real choice when we vote.' "'You can't fight city hall.' '"Talk is cheap. They'll say one thing and do another.' '"What difference does one vote make?' "We really do have a choice whom we vote for, if we seek out honest, capable people for office and then get behind them with our contributions of time and money. There is now an open primary so that anyone who fulfills the requirements can run. If the political parties and public offices are filled with hacks and incompetents, it is only because no one cares enough to do anything about it. "Secondly, there are many cases in McHenry county where individuals and small organizations have suc­ cessfully moulded public policy. For example, the McHenry County Defenders and other groups successfully required the implementation of the Crystal Lake watershed study; the McHenry County Improvement association is active in influencing site selection for a county sanitary landfill; the Concerned Citizens caused alteration of the Four Colonies and other annexation agreements; as well as many individuals who have had the conviction to stand up and be heard on a great variety of issues. Other long standing organizations such as the League of Women Voters and the Involved Citizens association have been consistent in their efforts toward responsible public policy one can, and many have, 'fought city' "Talk is cheap, except if we remember when our elected officals have not lived up to their promises, and we make sure that they do not get a second chance to violate our trust. In this vein it is ex- sbouldnotbedisclosed. I do ng| how he can be tremely important that we he can attend and-or sponsor coffees rived 0f any of them simply and discussion sessions with 0f the fact that the candidates. There we have °y vtrw» L opportunities to ask them hard questions about their in tentions. We should not fail, however, to ask them to put such promises in writing so that they will not be conveniently forgotten when the accounting period comes. "One vote does make a great deal of difference, in just the last three years, we in Algonquin township have seen a school referendum pass by a margin of about 6 votes, and the township assessor primary with a 3 vote spread. In both cases the margins were only a fraction of 1 percent of the votes cast. "For some time we have considered certain practices by our elected officials as being unethical. Recently we have seen such far reaching abuses that we can no longer stand by and allow them a mere hand slap as punishment. We can, and must, demand strong ethics laws with criminal penalties including removal from office, fines, and prison terms. In addition, we should demand that upon conviction all pay for the office must be forfeited from the date of in­ dictment. A crime committed in violation of the public trust should carry a heavier penalty than the same crime com­ mitted by an ordinary citizen. "Strong campaign practices laws must be established to include limits not only on gifts, and almost of expenditures, but also on the purpose of those expenditures. I cannot agree for example that a gift of land, or an addition to the candidates home can be deemed a legitimate expenditure. "Financial disclosure by candidates is a must. This must include all assets when they come into office, all income while in office, and all assets upon leaving office. If a person has come by all of his possessions legitimately, there should be no reason why they everyone knows about them. "There have been recent moves by a U.S. Senate com­ mittee to emasculate ethics and campaign practices laws by making abuse simply a civil offense rather than a criminal one. A law of this type is nothing more than tokenism. If we allow them to do so, un­ scrupulous politicians will do anything to weaken these reforms. "It is everyone s patriotic duty to contribute in some small way to the improvement of our governmental process. There no longer is any place for the 'silent majority', and it is not enough to fly the flag and shoot sky rockets on the 4th of July. "Here are some organizations that people can join in order to strengthen their knowledge and voice in public affairs: "McHenry County Defenders (An ecology group), p.B.

Box 225, Crystal Lake, 111. 60014, Tel. 815-459-6441. "When we fail to vote it is a sacrilege against the freedoms that were left to us by our forefathers, but when we fail to vote intelligently we also offend the principles upon which democratic government is based. Good citizenship requires that we pay attention to the issues and participate in government on a regular basis. Finally, we must speak up when we see a wrong, lest we lost that right in the near future.

Memorial gifts to the DuPage-McHenry Lung association have made possible the purchase of a new filmstrip- with-sound projector, ac­ cording to M. Kendall Bird, Crystal Lake, association president. Bird said that the projector, which will be used in patient education programs, can also be used in the Lung association's year round health education programs in schools and before service organizations. The association has employed Paul Miksan, a graduate of Western Illinois university in Macomb, as its full time health educator in order to expand its activities in preventive education. Memorial gifts to the Lung association, along with Christmas Seal contributions, also provide funds for medical research for such breathing difficulties as emphysema, asthma and chronic bronchitis. Other gifts received by the Lung association include four breathing machines which doctors often prescribe for emphysema patients. The association maintains a loan bank of such machines, with their use being controlled by the family physicians, so that their effectiveness can be determined before the patient goes to the expense of buying his own. Further information may be obtained from Mrs. Williams at 338-6675. Bird added that the memorial projector bears a plaque with the words, "In memory of McHenry county residents who have suffered from tuber­ culosis". Maintaining soil fertility is an idea that man picked up with settled civilization. Backward peoples have always followed the policy of clearing an area, growing a few crops on it, then moving on, and starting all over again, at tremendous labor cost for removing timber.

At various times in various places the joke has in fact held true. It is also a truism at times that the guy who works his gums the most before election is the same guy who gums up the works after he is elected. He is usually the person who is an expert in looking for trouble, finds it everywhere, diagnoses it wrong and applies wrong remedies. You can say or think what you want - jokingly or seriously. The ballot box is STILL the essence of democracy .. Itis STILL the bestplace to solve problems caused by conflicting minds and interests . . . The ballot box is a place of decision .. . YOUR decision about men or issue counts as much as anybody else's . There is a powerful reason - perhaps above ail others for you to vote. You have the responsibility and the right to decide who will spend YOUR money, and how it will be done . . . Isn't that a rather good reason to vote? . . . GEORGE R. JUNSTEN FUNERAL HOMf? 3519 W.
