That is what one election night analyst said, recognizing that, statistically. Republican gains seemed smaller than are "normal" in a non presidential election year The 1978 election campaign }>egan in an atmosphere of tax r e v o l t s p a w n e d b y Republicans and con servatives -and it ended Nov 7 with the voters proving they still mean business Twelve of I he sixteen states which had tax >>r spending limitation measures on the ballot passed them and two which rejected them. Colorado and Arkansas, already had some restrictions on the law books The Republicans made tax cutting a high priority issue with most GOP candidates also calling for spending restraints1 Agile Democrats. >uch as California's Gov. Brown, were quick to leap atxjard what they sensed might be a steamroller In fact, liuring most of October, the professional political analysts were concluding that the Democrats had just about co- opted the issue from the Republicans and that American voters were more interested in inflation anyway (as if high taxes and govern­ ment spending were somehow not connected with inflation). Election night victory speeches by many of the Democratic winners made it clear they aren't yet com fortable in the role of born again tax cutters Brown, for example, harped on the belt- tightening to come, but also stressed that he will run things with "compassion." whatever that means For Democratic politicians long used to harvesting votes by dispensing nearly unlimited amounts of middle-class tax dollars, the new reality is going to be hard to get used to No one has yet explained satisfactorily how a politician can be a "fiscal conservative" and a liberal about paternalistic social programs at the same time No wonder there were some sweaty Democratic brows the other night Lee Dreyfus, the colorful Republican who upset Wisconsin s governor, mav have reflected the mood of'the nation's voters most succinctly when he said. All 1 want from government is to deliver the mail on time, protect our shores and otherwise stay out of my life." Election night was a Republican story in another way, too The outcome knocked the pins out from under the Midwest for Mr. Carter. He now faces the contradictory task of trying to fuse the in­ terests of his native South with the Northeast if he is to prevail in 1980 And Vice-President Mondale, the spiritual leader of the ultra-liberal element in the administration, was a big loser His Democratic Farmer Labor party was crushed in Min­ nesota Carter's personal campaigning was less than a success, too Of the twenty- eight states in which he cam­ paigned the Democrats had major losses in fifteen Carter's foreign policy initiatives, such as ratification of his SALT II treaty and "normalization'o* of relations with the Communist Chinese, may run into trouble now The loss of two sure votes in the Senate. Dick Clark of Iowa and Thomas Mclntyre of New Hampshire, will hurt The coloration of the Senate will be more conservative overall and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, alone, will have seven new members In Clark, Carter also loses the most vocal Senate ally of the White House's ruinous Southern Africa policy. Republican House gains were slight, partly because the GOP had trouble recruiting strong candidates Much of this Wonder Lake Anne Sowers 653-9549 New EM It Goal* Now In Effect At Harrison School At the beginning of this 1978- 79 school year, the Exit Goal plan was put into effect culminating l'z years of hard work. Dr. Jones, with the cooperation of the teaching staff of Harrison school, drew up standards of competency that, it was felt, should be followed These were presented to the Harrison school board, who also put in much time trying to see the needs of the education program at the school The state of Illinois has, as have many other states, asked problem can be traced to the weakened position of the party in state legislatures, the seed bed of candidate development. Post-census gerrymandering by Democrat majorities has aggravated the GOP's plight over the years But .the Republicans won at least seven more state legislatures than they controlled before election day, signalling a likely upturn in GOP fortunes on Capitol Hill in 1980 the school systems throughout the state, ic draw up certain criteria to be followed at each grade level. These are goals to be reached by all students on completion of the school year. Wonder Lake residents should feel very proud that their school is one of the first in the state to begin this policy. Other districts in the area have begun work on the program; but many have not completed the plan as yet. PLANNING DANCE Dec. 2, at 8:30 p.m., the Men's club will be having its third annual Christmas dance at Christ the King church hall The Men's club has given financial support to many young people in our com­ munity. such as the Little League, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and the Harrison school Athletic program. Their whole purpose can be summed up by their motto "To Serve the Youth of Our Community". By supporting their dance on Dec 2, we can show them our thanks for their interest in our Wonder Lake children, and have a good time dancing and visiting with old and new friends alike.

The delicious cakes, enjoyed 'with coffee, were supplied by Marie Barthuly, Ann Shapolsky and Elenore Willig. Dec 6 will be their next meeting, held at Christ the King church hall, beginning at 11 am GIVING THANKS It's that time of year again when a special day is set aside for all of us to take time out of our busy schedules and think about what we have to be thankful for Families will be gathering to enjoy dinner together Not just the good food is important, but just being with loved ones. Parents who think you are someone special and always make you feel that way; spouses that become even more dear as the years go by; and, children falling asleep after a hard day of play, responding to a gentle kiss with an angelic smile and a mumbled little "I love you too. Mom" Oh, and friends what would we do without them7 The old friends we see now in­ frequently, but who will always be special because it's the qulaity of our visits, not quantity The new friends, who have become so tuned in on our present likes and dislikes So many things we can be thankful for: watching a bird make its nest; the beautiful colors of fall; the smile on a little boys face the first time he hits the ball in a Little League game; the first hamburgers of the season done on the outside grill , the first accumulation of snow to a snowmobiler, and seeing the snowplows arrive, for us non-snowmobilers Not to be forgotten is Wonder Lake, and all the wonderful people who live in our com­ munity. We have a lot in our little world Happy Thanksgiving to all of you COMMUNITY CALENDAR Nov 23 and 24 - No school, Thanksgiving vacation Dec 2 - Men's club dance; 8:30 p.m. Christ the King church hall Dec 2 Men's club Christmas party for children of members; Nativity Lutheran church hall Dec 4 - Senior Citizens meeting, Nativity Lutheran church hall. 1 p m Dec 6 - Young At Hearts; Christ the King church hall, 11 am Dec 13 - Wonder Woods auxiliary meeting; 1 p m It's easier to utter words than to live a brave life.

The program is designed to assist in the development of either special transportation service or new methods (or technologies) of providing service. Projects funded under this program are generally "paratransit" services such as "dial-a-ride" type service subscription bus or shared-ride taxi service. The primary intent of this RTA program is to test a broad spectrum of service methods, types of contracts, operators, and vehicle types for special, non-conventional transit ser­ vices for the general population and those with special tran- sportationneeds such as elderly and handicapped persons. A basic objective of the program is to determine the appropriate role of these special services in the regional transit system Eligible applicants, which must be general purpose governments-municipalities, townships and counties - will be required to provide the local share for their individual paratransit programs. A limited number of additional projects will be approved, based on the project's potential for increasing regional knowledge of practical and cost-effective designs for non- conventional transit service. Applications and information about the program are available at the Regional Transportation Authority, Operational Planning Department, 300 North State Street, Chicago. Illinois. 60610 The deadline for submittal of preliminary applications is Dec. 15.
