HERE AND THERE IN BUSINESS TERRENCE E. WARD PROMOTED-Terrence E. Ward, formerly vice-president, Operations-Power group, has been elected group vice- president-domestic, which consolidates under one management the Burndy Corp. Local Birchers Call October 24 "Day Of Shame" Again this October, as for the past three years, local mem­ bers and supporters of the John Birch society will take ad­ vantage of increased con­ troversy about the United Nations to gather support for their educational campaign directed against the world organization. "People who have never questioned the United Nations before are now beginning to do so," said Mrs. Dorothy Him- pelmann, the local Birch leader, "and we intend to provide some of the answers." The local members here as well as thousands of Birch society members and non-member supporters will be conducting simultaneous educational programs and activities across domestic electrical and elec­ tronics divisions and sub­ sidiaries previously separated into the Components and Power groups. The company is located in Norwalk, Conn. Mr. Ward is the son of Mr. and Mrs. M.L. Ward of Allen avenue, McHenry. the United States and Canada this month. Mrs. Himpelmann said she is more optimistic than ever about this year's activities "because of the growing wave of anti-UN sentiment that has been noticed in much of the P^ess for the past year." "Last Dec. 6, when John Scali, chief American delegate to the United Nations, warned the General Assembly that support for the United Nations in Congress and among the American people was eroding, the United States mission received thousands of letters voicing criticism of the UN. Letters came from all over the country,. from all kinds of people, and ran 55 to 1 in favor of the Scali speech," she stajled. "We feel," Mrs. Himpelmann continued, "that this growing w a v e o f d i s c o n t e n t m e n t developing over the UN is due to the way U.S. support of the United Nations has beeirex- ploited and used against our best interests. And so we're going to be bringing up a lot of reasons why the United States should revoke its membership in the United Nations." The first reason cited by the chapter leader for much of the criticism against the UN was "the expulsion of the Republic of China from membership, and the seating, instead, of the murderous regime of Mao Tse- tung and Chou En-lai". Other reasons mentioned were "the General Assembly's vote of 89 to 8 to approve of the terrorist P a l e s t i n e L i b e r a t i o n Organization's claim to statehood, and a further UN vote of 95-17 granting the group Permanent Observer Status." The Birch leader said that volunteers will be "active petitioning and distributing literature containing more information on the United Nations for the rest of the month, but that special em ­ phasis would be given to the project during the week of Oct. 24, UN day. The Birchers believe that because of the UN's record, and especially because of the admission of Red China on Oct. 24, 1971, that the day should be proclaimed a "Day of Shame." Mrs. Himpelmann said members of the John Birch society hope that "all citizens will take advantage of our educational efforts and learn the true record of the United Nations."

Bicentennial Flavor In New England Trip Paue. 4 - rLAINDUALER-WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1W$ A lot of worry can be wasted on other people. The Misses Alice and Leta Clark have recently returned from a fifteen-day trip which took them to all six New England States and a bit of New York. Newly retired from teaching in District 15, they had long looked forward to the time when they would be free to visit this area during the autumn foliage season. In this Bicen­ tennial year, it seemed fitting to journey into an area rich with the early history on this country. Primary objective of the trip was the Bicentennial dinner at the First Baptist church of P r o v i d e n c e t o w h i c h a l l descendants of Roger Williams were invited. The Clark Sisters' ancestor, Samuel Winsor,. married Roger Williams' daughter, Mercy. Featured speaker at this special occasion was Dr. Allen Russell, noted author and professor of philosophy at the University of Massachusetts, who spoke on the part religion played in the early history of New England, stressing that the clergy played a much more important role than that of simply "Hatching, matching, and dispatching".

Patterns & Solids McHenry Market Place 385-4100 The city of Providence is proud of its history. Visitors are shown the huge statue of Roger Williams which overlooks the city from a high bluff, the spring from which he drew his water, and the 450-acre park which bears his name. Continuing their trek through history, the Clarks visited Plymouth where they explored Plimoth Plantation, the replica of the original settlement, went aboard the Mayflower II, and discovered the graves of Myles Standish, John Alden, and Priscilla at nearby Duxbury. Other highlights were visits to Old Mystic, Conn., the Pioneer village at Sturbridge, Mass., and Old Deerfield, site of the famous Indian massacre and now famous for its restoration of lovely old homes. In Boston, they walked the Freedom Trail following the red line that leads the traveler to the Old North church, Paul Revere's home, and other sites related to the history of that city. Alice and Leta were especially happy to locate the home of their Abbott ancestors at Andover, Mass. This house was built in 1685 and is still being lived in at the present and furnished in much the same way with trestle tables, benches, etc. In this Bicentennial year, it was a real thrill to see the original painting of "The Spirit of '76" at Marblehead, Mass., and the original Bennington flag that flew over the Battle of Bennington in 1777. This flag is preserved in the museum at Bennington, Vt. Attached to the main museum is a small, white, country school called the "Grandma Moses museum" where the originals of many of her paintings are on display. Not all of the trip was devoted to history. A more personal note was the opportunity of greeting old friends along the way: at Bridgton, Maine, the Charles Juracks who sent greetings to all their McHenry friends; at Sturbridge, Mass., Miss Kevinetta O'Brien who taught fourth grade at Hilltop school with Leta Clark; and at Putnam, Conn., the former Beverly Dimon of rural McHenry whose husband, the Reverend Williams, is pastor of a church at nearby Woodstock, Conn. A flight home from Albany, N.Y., brought an end to a most pleasurable and educational vacation. Legislation Asks Guarantee For School Funds Gov. Dan Walker last Thursday called for a special session of the General Assembly to consider legislation guaranteeing that each public and elementary secondary school district receive at least as much money in distributive state aid thi^ fiscal year as last year. Gov. Walker said on July 9 that an Administration bill to supplement state aid ("hold h a r m l e s s " ) w o u l d b e i n ­ troduced at a special session to coincide with the return of the legislature this fall. The special session begins Oct. 22 at 2 p.m. The Governor's March b u d g e t i n c l u d e d a n a p ­ propriation of $20 million to s u p p l e m e n t t h e s c h o o l a i d formula to help downstate school districts. Under the "hold harmless" proposal no school district will lose money from last year. ;i „ YOUNG FARMER LEADERS -- Retiring officers of McHenry County Farm Bureau's Young Farmers committee extend congratulations to incoming leaders.
