Monico Reyna, 55, of 3304 S. Bay road. Crystal Lake, died at McHenry hospital several hours after a two-car collision Friday night about 10 o'clock. The accident took place at the intersection of Walkup (Crystal Lake road) and Edgewood road, south of McHenry. Reyna was a passenger in a car driven by Manual D. Salazar of 6000 W.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Cancer Symposium To Highlight Clinic Day In the months ahead, a force called Television Networks will have more influence over the outcome of the November presidential election than any other single factor. Very probably it is responsible for the fnodern usage of the word "charisma". The disproportionate power of the three commercial net­ works was demonstrated strikingly recently when Senator Frank Church (D- Idaho) appealed to them for time to announce his can­ didacy. He wanted thirty minutes on the networks. Two refused and one gave him five minutes. This is not a question of whether or not he should have been given thirty minutes. Certainly every candidate can't be given half an hour of network time in similar cir­ cumstances. But it is ridiculous in this free democracy that the executives of three private corporations in New York have the power to decide what the American people will see and hear from presidential candidates an­ nouncing. These same people in high places will have tremendous influence over the campaign from now to November. They are not elected public officials, yet they constitute an opinion-making establishment more powerful than any elected official, government branch or agency. It would certainly seem to be in the best interest of the country if this power could be transferred to the people and the government. Two defeated candidates of past presidential elections were (Continued on page 16) Clinton Martin, Lifetime Farm Leader, Dies Sixteen-year-old Karen Cook is a happy young lady these days since receiving a letter from Mary Morrison, lady-in- waiting to Queen Elizabeth of England. Karen, who was a resident of McHenry until very recently, shares with her mother, Judith Cook, a love of a country neither has seen. Their interest stems from avid reading about the long, proud history of England. Karen admits that some day she hopes to live there. Because she felt there was much more to be known than was available to her in, newspapers and the books she had read, Karen decided to write to the Queen. In response, the lady-in-waiting said in her opening statement, "I am commanded by the Queen to write and thank you for your letter." She included a long list of booklets for Karen to u^fe for future reference in her quest for more information. Ms. Morrison also obliged with the names of the Queen's seven dogs, which were not so very different from the dog next door: Heather, Brush, Sherry, Pickles, Tinker, Smokey and Shadow. Karen is the daughter of "Vernon" Cook of Waukegan. She resides with her mother, a McHenry city police dispat­ cher.

A court order gives McHenry county the right to use last year's county tax rates on property in those counties to figure an estimated bill. The reason is that other counties have not completed their work, and without the resolution that situation could delay bills in McHenry county. The Board of Review and supervisor of assessments in McHenry county have finished their work. County Clerk Vernon Kays will now send an abstract of the tax assessment and rate to the state of Illinois, which will apply a state rate expected to be negative, or more favorable than the present rate. Bills in McHenry county will probably be put into the mail within the first two weeks in August.
