OPEN MON.-SAT. 7:30-6 SUNDAY 9-1 CRYSTAL LAKE 5407 Terra Cotta Ave. (Hwy. 176) 455-3232 The two opposing sides seemed to have only one point of agreement--that the Equal Rights amendment is of vital concern to all Americans, especially to women. A debate over ERA was held at McHenry County college Saturday, April 15, before an audience of about ninety people. Patt McCarthy, director, Woodstock Chambe; of Commerce and Industr; was moderator for pro-ER spokesperson, Sandra Millius member 33rd Legislativ district of.Citizens for ERA, and for anti-ERA spokesper­ son, Darlene Degenhardt, president, STOP ERA, 33rd Legislative district. "I speak today in support of individual rights," began Ms. Millius, a resident of Wood­ stock. She said that, presently, state laws are a "hodgepodge" of double standards. In Utah, for example, the female still does not have equal credit opportunities with the male. Ms. Millius said, "If all working wives' income is taxable, shouldn't she have the same rights as her husband? By obstructing the passage of the ERA in Illinois, we are denying the rights of women in other states." "ERA is a civil rights issue," Ms. Millius continued. She noted four civil rights laws passed since 1963, but pointed to areas in each of these acts where she believes women are not adequately covered against discrimination. Ms. Millius said that only when the amendment is a constitutional one will the state no longer have an edge in court over the individual. The in­ dividual can then assert his right to equal treatment. ' "At present, the state and federal judges can exercise personal and social views to reach decisions," she main­ tained. Ms. Millius said ERA will prevent overturning of present civil rights laws, and will keep job access for women open. The burden will fall on the federal government and states to en­ force women's rights and protect them wherever they live in the U.S. "You must tell your legislators to stop denying full legislation under the law because of gender," Ms. Millius concluded in her opening remarks. "Many people are supporting ERA on what they think it says, not on what it says," began Ms. Degenhardt, resident of McHenry. She said that the controversy over ERA shows that it does not mean the same to all people, that it must be more explicit in its meaning. She sees the ERA as an "absolute amendment" without any provisions for real differences' of the sexes. Other laws, such as income tax laws, welfare laws and Social PAGE 21 - PLAINDEALER -FRIDAY. APRIL 21. 1878 Degenhardt described the ' boycott as illegal, since it is a » "secondary boycott". Boycotts should be aimed at specific targets, not innocent people, - qHP AHHAH Ms. Millius said that ERA ; has nothing to do with • homosexual and abortion' issues, that they are "red; herrings, made to confuse and frighten." Ms. Degenhardt said ERA is an "unisex law", and: cited the International; Women's conference in Houston, where resolutions on • s e x u a l p r e f e r e n c e a n d * reproductive freedom were; passed along with support for - ERA, as an example of what I direction ERA will take the : country in ther future. Ms. Millius'said she believes ' ERA will not violate states' rights, that the states never; h a v e h a d r i g h t s o v e r i n - ; dividuals. ERA cannot take *' away from the state what it I never had. Ms. Degenhardt * says Section 2 of ERA speaks • for itself, that the Congress I may preempt whatever laws I each state may pass. * Ms. Millius believes, "ERA is ; not written to be ambiguous. It ^ is clear on what it means." Ms.; Degenhardt thinks ERA was; written as women in the early • movement wanted it, but that r now a better version could be written. - On April 25, the Crystal Lake - League of Women Voters will hold a public meeting at the: Branded Steak House at 8 p.m.- Kenneth Kipnis and his wife, - Sara Lyn Smith, will speak. I Later this summer, the Right: to Be a Woman organization, in - conjunction with other anti-- ERA groups is planning to hold: a workshop in McHenry county: on the IWY, ERA and related - subjects. ! Security programs recognize and deal with differences. "Our case against ERA is made upon the certainty of failure before the courts of all current and future law that treats men and women dif- ferntly," she declared. Ms. Degenhardt believes ERA will have a large economic impact on the nation. "We must not force 40 million women now dependent upon the support laws into competition for jobs with those who now need ^hem,M she declared, adding that women will have to reassess their priorities bet­ ween family responsibilities and work. Ms. Degenhardt said there are now federal laws man­ dating equal job opportunity, equal credit and equal education, and some in­ dications are that these laws need adjusting. She believes the laws can be made workable, while with ERA passage, adverse aspects must be taken with the amendment. She appealed, "Write an amendment all women can support ~ not one that divides us all!" Referring to the economic boycott against states not having ratified ERA, Ms. Millius called it a traditional union tool for making points. She said, "We find an effective economic tool and people cry, 'Foul, foul, foul'." Ms. Twice Told Tales FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 19, 1928) McHenry Post 491, American Legion, announced plans are well under way for the annual convention of the Eleventh district of the Legion, com­ prising McHenry, Kane, Will and DuPage counties. The convention is to be held on Saturday, June 9, at McHenry. It is expected that every post in the district will be well represented and McHenry post is planning to entertain up­ wards of 600 Legionnaires. Che regular monthly meeting- of the board of directors of the McHenry Building and Loan association was held Tuesday evening of this week and arrangements made for a campaign for increasing the number of shareholders in the organization. Splendid success has been achieved for the short time which the association has been in existence, but the board believes that a very large percentage of the people in McHenry and contiguous territory will join when they understand the workings of building and loan and the benefits to be derived therefrom. "Own Your Own Home" is the slogan which is uppermost in the minds of building and loan enthusiasts, because this association is the one organization which proves a way for almost anyone to sooner or later be the owner of the house in which he resides. On Saturday, April 14, both the school elections were held at the regular polling place with a very light vote being cast for the members of the board of education for the grade school and also for the high school, due, probably to the fact that there was no opposition. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 21, 1938) The first boy of St. Mary's parish, Reverend Clarence Thennes, will be ordained to the priesthood by Cardinal Mun- delein at St. Mary's of the Lake seminary Saturday, April 23, at 8 a.m., together with about thirty-five of his classmates. The newly ordained will celebrate his first solemn High Mass at St. Mary's church, McHenry, Sunday, April 24. He will be assisted by his Very Reverend Pastor, Msgr. Nix, as assistant and priest, Father Miller as deacon, and Father Eye as master of ceremonies. Father Paul Tuchlinsky will preach the sermon. It costs 34.7 cents per vote for each of the 13,516 votes cast in the primary election of April 12, according to the claims presented and ordered paid the County board Tuesday in connection with the expense of the primary. The cost this year is seven cents higher than in 1936 when the cost per vote was 27 cents. The cost this year is also one cent higher than in 1935 when it cost the county 22 cents per vote. It cost $4,697.44 to hold the election in the county. This included $2,584.50 for judges, clerks and renting of polling places; $1,692.60 for ballots; $380.34 ^or eleetien «uppH«6> $30 for delivering of ballots and $10 for the canvass of the votes. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 23, 1953) One of the community's most respected residents and one of McHenry's most prominent native sons, Thomas A. Bolger, died April 14. Mr. Bolger was 66 years old. For twenty-five years he helped shape the future of his home state, having been elected to the Illinois House of Representatives in 1930 as a Democrat. He was reelected ten times and served the Eight district (Lake, McHenry and Boone counties). Following a stroke suffered in 1947, he served his last two terms with the aid of a wheelchair. Tax statements representing a total bill of $4,439,847.26 is being placed in the mails today. According to J.G. Stevens, county treasurer and tax collector, this is the largest bill ever charged to county tax­ payers locally. A total of 28,470 pieces of mail were prepared for mailing. Anderson's Service station in West McHenry was robbed of a substantial sum of money last week Friday. The robbery was reported to the sheriff's office. McHenry high school baseball team had quite a battle, but came through with a 6 to 5 victory over Crystal Lake on the winner's diamond last Friday. They also registered a shutout over Woodstock, by defeating them 5 to 0. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 26, 1968) In regular meeting this week, the board of School District 15 voted to change the regular meeting night from the second Monday to the second Tuesday of the month. The special meeting will remain on the fourth Tuesday. August Uttich has been unanimously elected president of the board and Tom Lawson as secretary. Dr. Peter Griesbach will serve as president pro-tem and Dorothy Vick as secretary pro-tem. Principal Marvin Martin of the McHenry high school presented a newly won runner- up sweepstake plaque to the presidents of the band and chorus, Tony Wagner and Candy Fossum. The two organizations and their in­ dividual members, in com­ petition last Saturday and on March 16, accumulated 110 points in the state music con­ test for Class AA schools to be named runner-up to Harlem in Rockford with 123 points. The band and chorus each totaled 55 points toward the McHenry medal, On Modnay, April 29, an organizational meeting to begin a Senior Citizens program in McHenry will meet , in the Junior high school library.

(815) 459-2300 McHENRY, ILL. (312) 526-4286 FINANCING AVAILABLE A Certified USSSL State Rep. Cal Skinner, Jr. (R-McHenry county) has an­ nounced the discontinuance of the newsletter published jointly by the 33rd Legislative district's three Republican lawmakers. .o^ It is customary for legislators to send reports of their Springfield activities to their constituents. As an experiment in cooperative com­ munications, Representatives Skinner, R. Bruce Waddell (R- Dundee) and Senator Jack Schaffer (R-Cary) published two issues of a tabloid format legislative report during the 1977 session of the General Assembly. Skinner explained that he was ending his participation in the venture at the advice of a number of his constituents. "I'm glad to say that our efforts were an unique show of party solidarity. None of us had ever seen a joint newsletter before. Our colleagues in Springfield were impressed. --"Unfortunately," Skinner went on to say, "when you have three politicians compromising on a project like this, the ef­ fectiveness of each tends to get diluted. "We are three very different persons, with different ap-: proaches to government amir different roles within the; legislative process. Though we work together, we are not in-: terchangeable and to present ourselves as such to the people of this district would be grossly misleading. "We are all responsible to our constituents," Skinner con­ tinued, "and I feel that my: further involvement in this; three-way experiment lessens my own ability to effectively! represent the 33rd district. I; consider the varying views of; my constituents individually' and I think it unfair to ask them: to view the three of us collec-; tively." Each of the newsletters in-* eluded a questionnaire on? issues before the General; Assembly. Skinner said he will; continue to poll the district. ' VA personnel answered; nearly 23 million telephone; inquiries from veterans* requesting assistance in 1977,! the VA said today.
