Oct 30. Joe is a fire fighter at the base He had contacted Channel 7 regarding the hospitalization insurance he carries which has not fulfilled its obligation Joe stated that his Blue Shield-Blue Cross coverage is supposedly 100 percent until it comes time to settle the bills incurred after an accident. The company then refused payment on certain items which he had understood were their responsibility. Joe stated his problem very well: Others with similar ex­ periences with hospitalization insurance should also let their complaints be heard. It was exciting to see and hear a neighbor on TV Any one ask for your autograph yet, Joe7 REMEMBERANCE Veteran's^ day, formerly Armistice day in recognition of the signing of peace in thii 'War to end all wars", is again being held on the eleventh of November, cancelling out the governments juggling of dates to give us "long" weekends.

Bless you all VOTING RECORD Yesterday, a certain per­ centage of our citizens thought enough about government control of their lives, to state their preferences at a voting machine. Sometimes the feeling that one vote cannot make a change, gives us an excuse to stay home and say, "What's the use". But each vote is a part of the whole and without yours, our complex system of government does not function as it should. Those who did vote, can now speak up as to what is Or is not being accomplished by our governing bodies. All the clamoring and griping done by those who wouldn't give time to vote, now means nothing Have you been following a column started recently in the Plaindealer, the "Roll Call Report", how your Congressmen vote? Thus is an informative addition to our local newspaper. It is often difficult to get this type of in­ formation, even if one knows what bills are pending In­ formation kindles ideas, which start actions, which can lead to a better way of life And like it or not, government does in many ways, control how we live.

Thanksgiving, and Other Happenings (Special from Illinois State Historical Society, Old State Capitol. Springfield) Illinois' most notable events of November a century ago were the off-year election and the union church services that marked the Thanksgiving day observances There were more than enough other happenings, however, to fill the pages of the November, 1878, newspapers in the collections of the Illinois State Historical library. Illinois' only state-wide of­ ficial elected on Nov 5, 1878, was the state treasurer. Republican John C Smith of JoDaviess county The real contest was for control of the legislature which, after taking office in January, would elect a U.S. senator Gen John A Logan, who had campaigned all over the state for Republicans, was rewarded by election to his second term in the senate (Incidentally, five political parties entered the Cook county elections: the Republican, Democratic, Greenback, National, Socialist, and Prohibition parties The Greenbackers entered can­ didates in many counties in the hope of electing enough legislators to control the senatorial choice, but they came up short.) The election was described by Springfield's Daily Illinois State Register as "quiet and peaceful " On Thanksgiving day there were a number of union church services in Chicago the Fourth Baptist church was host to other congregations on the city's west side; on the south side the Second Presbyterians, Congregationalists and Methodists The First Congregational church was host to the St Paul's Reformed Episcopal congregation and the Third Presbyterians and the L e a v i f t S t r e e t Congregationalists held ser vices at the Presbyterian church Throughout the state union services were also popular in Springfield the Second Presbyterian church was the host, in Ottawa it was the Methodist church, in Dixon the Presbyterian, in Mendota the United Brethren church Bloomington was an exception, where each church held its own services The weather on Thanksgiving day was described by the Chicago Inter Ocean as clear and "mildly bracing" as it had been for most of the month, with temperatures in the 40's and 50's. In Springfield "Thanksgiving turkey sold for 9 cents per pound and the Thanksgiving beef for 15 cents " Earlier in the month the Register had noted that "fat hogs are worth $3 per 100 lbs , live weight " Among the other events in Illinois during November. 1878. was the death <on the eleventh) of Abraham Lincoln's friend. Norman B Judd Bom in Rome, NY, Jan 10, 1815, Judd had come to Chicago in 1836 He had served as city attorney. Cook county attorney. Chicago alderman, and for sixteen years -as a state senator He was president, director, or attorney for more than half a dozen railroads Judd had a major role in L i n c o l n ' s p r e s i d e n t i a l nomination One of Lincoln's first acts as president was to appoint Judd minister to Prussia Although he was replaced by President Andrew Johnson, Judd then served two terms ** as an Illinois representative in Congress He had invested his "whole per sonal fortune'" in a Colorado silver mining operation, and according to his obituary in the Inter Ocean--"fell a victim" of "the panic of 1873" and "from that time he has been retired in life " Other events of that month included the opening of the new courthouse in Peoria with a banquet, speeches, and a ' g r a n d r e c e p t i o n a n d promenade concert " In Springfield "Prof Woodroffe s Bohemian troupe of Fancy G l a s s B l o w e r s ' ' g a v e a n exhibition The yellow fever epidemic which had plagued the south for three months and threatened Illinois had abated but New Orleans report* twenty-nine fever deaths f the week ending Nov 17 At..: Pat Rooney s New York Stai Combination" which did a good business and afforded aliment to the gods" at Haverly s theater in Chicago early in the month scheduled a one-night stand later at the Opera house in Springfield • * • • No group has the right to force its way of life on other people.
