m "MEANWHILE BACK AT THE COURTHOUSE" 4-H Treasure Box Yields 'Wealth' of Resources Consumer PAGE 9 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29. 1976 Judge Floeter Michael A. Lorch, 5001 Barnard Mill Rd., Ringwood, entered a negotiated plea of guilty to driving while his license was suspended or revoked, and he was sentenced to eighty days in the county jail with credit for time already served. He also pleaded guilty to disobeying a traffic light for a fine of $25 and costs, and guilty to a charge of having open liquor in a motor vehicle for which he was fined $25 and costs. GeorgeS. Link, 3930 Main St., McHenry, entered a negotiated plea of guilty to driving while his license was suspended or revoked. He was sentenced to eight days periodic im­ prisonment in the county jail. Brent T. Smith, sunset Dr., Wonder Lake, entered a negotiated plea of guilty to an amended charge of disorderly conduct. He was fined $20 and costs. Judge Herrmann Ben DeAngelo, 617 Columbus, McHenry, pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and fined $100 and costs. was Judge Block In another preliminary hearing before Judge Block, probable cause was found on a charge of aggravated battery against Joseph T. Broderick, 4315 Sioux, McHenry. In the same hearing, Broderick was discharged when the court found no probable cause on a second charge of aggravated battery, he was bound over to Judge Charles S. Parker for a hearing on Nov. 3, at which time the court will consider eight other lesser charges pending against Broderick. JudgeJPafEer On Oct^Vi, Judge Parker sentenced Timothy J. Bryan, 7610 Beach drive, Wonder Lake, to two year's probation for theft over $150, and he was ordered to make restitution. He had been charjgetf in connection with a break"In of a building in the Wonder Lake area on May 13. 1976. by Gerry Johnson Still in the Driver's Seat What do Will Rogers, W. C. Fields and Flo Zieg- fcld have in common with 88-year-old George Pennell, of Palm Beach, Florida? A ride in Pennell's limousine, that's what. Since 1919, when Pennell moved to Palm Beach from New York City, he's had a taxi concession--or limou­ sine service as he prefers to call it--at various Palm Beach hotels. Over the years, he's had the conces­ sion at the Everglades Ho­ tel, the Biltmore Hotel and the Palm Beach Hotel. He now operates out of the Breakers Hotel, driving a seven-passenger limousine and employing eight other drivers. Pennell came to the United States from England with his parents as a young­ ster. At 15 he left school and worked his way around the world on a tramp steam­ er. When he returned, he took a job in a New York City factory which made the now-defunct Packard automobile. Factory work was not for him, so he moved to Palm Beach in 1919, and started a limousine service which grew so large that at one time Pennell owned 47 Packards. In his time, Pennell has driven the great and the near-great from all fields of endeavor. To this day, his favorite remains Mary Pick- ford. "One day I drove her around for about two hours," he told a writer from The National Council on the Aging. "When she came out of her hotel the next day, she fought her way through a mob of peo­ ple just to shake my hand. "That's real class," Pen­ nell went on. "Some of those old-timers walked around with their noses in the air and treated us like servants." And Pennell could more than hold his own when it came to business transac­ tions. One deal he's par­ ticularly proud of, involved millionaire John Jacob As- tor VI. "Back in the old days, if I wasn't driving a car, I was fixing one up," he said. "When Astor learned how to drive, he asked me to find a car for him. I knew where there was a Rolls Royce for sale, so I bought it for $2,000, fiddled around with it for a bit and sold it to Astor for $6,000." Another one of Pennell's favorite stories involves Clarence Geist, founder of the Boca Raton Club, where Pennell operated his limou- 500,000 shares of a utility stock and earned a million dollars every time it went up a point. "Yeah, but you lose two million every time it goes down," Pennell responded. Even though he enjoys a reputation as a hard bar­ gainer and a firm business man, Pennell's drivers have a great deal of respect for him, perhaps because he's very good to them. He gives the drivers their permits to drive in Palm Beach free of charge, unlike some of his competitors, who charge the drivers up to $800 per year. The only time the gruff- mannered Pennell's voice softens is when he ponders the fate of his company. "I'm not getting any young­ er," he said, "and none of my four sons want to take over the company." Then, his attention switches to a man who is trying to buy his concession at the Breakers Hotel, and he becomes his normally feisty, competitive self. RON STROUPE V^i> vs TOM HANAHAN Readers who really want me to defeat Tom Hanahan can best help by giving me a "bullet" vote and urging their friends to do the same. Since three state representatives are to be elected, each of you has three votes. You can cast all 3 for me by pun­ ching my name only (No. 120 on pa^e 12) Tliis is called a bullet. Even if you are a dyed-in-the-wool Republican, you must understand that the only way I can unseat Hanahan is by getting enough 3-vote "bullets" to offset those he controls through patronage jobs and other "favors." Cal Skinner and Bruce Waddell are certain to be re­ elected in this overwhelmingly Republican district. My only hope is that those who know Tom Hanahan and what he stands for act positively to defeat him. If you don't, you'll have him for two more years. So even if you vote straight Republican, turn also to page 12 and punch 120. I'll get 3 votes and all the other Republicans will get theirs. If you believe you must vote for either Skinner or Waddell. punch my name also. That way, I'll get at least one vote. Not as good as three, but it will help. Illinois is the only state having this cumulative voting system. It's what has kept Tom Hanahan in office. I hope you will help me explain this system. Telephone your friends. talk with your neighbors. If you can get me enough 3-vote "bullets." I'll give you honest and fair representation for a change. RON STROUPE (PAID FOB BY CITIZENS FOB BON STROUPE) CHICAGO--A resource treasure box can spark the interest and enthusiasm of young people in the national 4-H home management pro­ gram. The box contains pictures and objects that help 4-H'ers identify resources they can use to reach their manage­ ment goals. Suggestions for starting a resource treasure box, plus ideas for other program activ­ ities, are detailed in the new Unit I home management leader's guide published by the National 4-H Service Committee"1 with the assist­ ance of Tupperware Home Parties, Division of Dart In­ dustries Inc. The guide is for use with "Spotlight on Man­ agement," Unit I members' manual. A Unit II leader's guide and members' manual are under development, as is a color-slide set designed to assist leaders in conducting a 4-H home management program. Management means using resources at hand to get things that are needed or desired. In practical projects and activities supervised by the Cooperative Extension Service, 4-H'ers 9-19 learn resources may be either within them-like energy, talents" and brain power-or around them-like money and time. Last year, Bonye Baker, 18, of Hennessey, Okla., so efficiently managed her time to include a busy schedule of "That guy's not going to pull anything over on me," he said. "I'll keep driving as long as I have to, just to keep him out of here." Competition or not, one gets the feeling that George Pennell will still be driving for a long time. It's hard to imagine him giving up the driver's seat for a rocking chair. » * * LAST APRIL, the U.S. Labor Department filed a multimillion dollar suit against the Phillips Petro­ leum Company for practic­ ing age discrimination. The government's suit, filed in Federal court in Joplin, Missouri, Contends that Phillips forced early re­ tirement and "discrimina­ tory job reclassifications" on 460 older sales and market­ ing division employees, starting in 1971. The suit is one of the largest filed un­ der the Federal Age Dis­ crimination in Employment Act. The age discrimination act protects workers aged 40 to 65 from discrimina­ tory firings, demotions or other employer actions based on their age. When violations are "wilful," as the government alleges in the Phillips case, damages can be sought in an amount equal to the back pay owed the workers. The suit also asks the court to enjoin the oil com­ pany from further age dis­ crimination. mm BQ&ULB units Oven interior lights.

Again this year, young people can earn home management awards ranging from scholarships to county medals. Eight 4-H members will be named national winners of $1,000 college scholarships. One 4-H'er in each state will attend the 55th National 4-H Congress, Nov. 28-Dec. 2 in Chicago, on an expense-paid trip. And up to four 4-H'ers in each county are eligible for medals of honor. Winners are selected by the Extension Service. Awards are arranged and announced by the National 4-H Service Committee. More information on the program is available from county extension agents. Purchasing a new electric range can be a major under­ taking these days. The model and feature selection available often make the final choice as difficult as buying a new auto­ mobile. Since the average American family replaces its range infre­ quently, you can anticipate seeing many improvements in convenience and safety fea­ tures as you shop. And you may notice one other thing: the price of the new appliance may not b€> drastically different from the price you paid last time. Al­ though inflation has hit most areas hard, appliance prices have lagged behind the Con­ sumer Price Index. To help you select the right range for your present life­ style, here is a checklist of suggestions and guidelines pre­ pared by the Consumer Insti­ tute of General Electric and Hotpoint to simplify the shop­ ping process: & If you have built-ins now, you probably want to re­ place them with built-ins. Most wall ovens offered today fit cabinet widths of 24 and 27 inches - the same as, or slightly larger than, older models. Both single-oven and double-oven models are avail­ able. & The newest idea in sur­ face sections is thenglass cer­ amic cook top. It his a com­ pletely flat surface with a de­ sign printed ov«>r the location of the heating units.^t's not only sleek and modern, but easy to clean. If replacing a free-stand­ ing range, you have a choice of a compact 21-inch wide model, 30-inch wide models with one (lower) or two (up­ per and lower) ovens, or 10- inch wide models with one or two ovens. k* Be sure to fully consider all of the following con­ venience features: • Pic tu re - w i n do w oven door. • Start, stop timers. • Meat thermometers. • Rotisseries. ^ What about a self-clean­ ing oven? It's today's most wanted feature, according to many reports. Less expensive is "continuous cleaning," which requires some effort on the part of the homemaker. Or there is always the hand- cleaned conventional system you probably have now. Cost of operation nor­ mally shouldn't be a factor. A, typical 30-inch model with self-cleaning oven uses an av­ erage of about 89 kwh per month for cooking and clean­ ing, or about 10 cents worth of electricity a day at the cur­ rent national average rate (3.4C /kwh). Consider microwave cooking -- it may be the swer to some of your needs. It's quicker than cpnventional cooking, can thaw frozen foods in minutes, and you can even cook right in serving dishes or on paper plates. In selecting a brand, take into account the manu­ facturer's reputation for qual­ ity and service, and consider the dealer's reputation. THE GOOD WOBD from the jBible .<& On many occasions, the zealous efforts of the disciples to "protect" Jesus from what they considered a discomforting situation brought from the Master a gentle scolding and a re­ minder that the Son of man had come to minister to all mankind. When the disciples rebuked parents for bringing small children to visit with Jesus, they expected to receive a word of appreciation. Instead, Jesus was displeased. He scolded the disciples, took the children in his arms and blessed them. Compare this to the attitude and actions of many of today's adults and parents who require children to be "seen and not heard". Sometimes, not to be seen. Some adults are "too busy" or "too tired" to answer a child's question, to help with a problem. Some parents send children to their room, or to a movie to get them "out of the way" when adult visitors come to call. Jesus knew that the young child, like the tender new vine in the vineyard, requires love, attention and guidance.
