"Our investigator conducted 10 in- person interviews, had 18 telephone contacts and reviewed written records of the county sheriffs police, health department, coronsr's office, state's attorney's office and various medical sources as well as PSS. "We then made the draft report available to Mr. Smith and his board so that any disputed issues of fact or opinion could be resolved before DCFS took action," Tristano said. "Not one specific allegation has yet been made challenging the accuracy or completeness of the report." Both JoHnson and Tristano said the department would reconsider can­ cellation of the contract with FSS if that agency provides proof that in­ ternal corrective or disclplinsry actions are being taken in response to the DCFS investigation. Efforts were made to reach both Smith and Szilak for comment Tuesday, but both were unavailable. The board has authorized an evaluation by the American Humane Society in regard to the death of the infant, whose parents have been charged with neglect in connection with the death. "The American Humane Society has an unimpeachable reputation and we are asking them to determine if the service given was professional and up to standard," said Schneider. He said the society would conduct an independent investigation and report its findings bsck to the board. "They will have a free and complete hand and we will share their finding with DCFS," Schneider said. The McHenry County Mental Health 70S Board, of which Smith is executive director, reportedly agreed Thursday to spend (5,0GG on a consultation contract with the American Humane Society for an independent In­ vestigation into the Ketchum issue. Lou Anne Msjewski, representing the McHenry county board on the 708 Board, said Friday the board authorized s $5,000 expenditure for an outside consultant to evaluate the DCFS report and respond to it. McHenry County Bosrd Chairman Ronald Morris said he is disturbed the agency was spending the taxpayers' money on the evaluation. Morris said the DCFS investigation appears to be complete and that the 15.000 I* beintr wasted. IDCCA - SELLING THE STATE (Co«rt<fiv«d tram Mf ') ment,,rfox said. "Why dees the stale give money to s corporation like GE? If we didn't, Ohio would have. We are not only competing for the existing plant, but for the future growth as well." Fox added that the department is one of the few in the nation with a computerized site file. "Someone can call and ask, 'Where can I find a building with 10,000 square Chamber member Daniel Curran asked what sort action will be taken by the Illinois legislature regarding Unemployment and Workman's Compensation. "We have made some progress in making the systems more equitable," Fox said. "The legislature has con­ sistently addressed the problem for the last five years, thanks to the ef­ forts of legislators like Sen. Jack Schaffer (R-Cary) and Rep. Klemm." Rep. Richard C. Klemm (R-Crystal Lake) said, "I co-sponsored 11 or 12 pieces of legislation in the last session. The closest we got wss 88 votes -- we needed 88. There Just aren't enough pro-business people in the House. You have to vote for the people who have the voting record to bade it up."

The figure accounts for deductions for medical Insurance, taxes, social security and unemployment in­ surance where applicable. And how much better off are we? The American works 18.3 hours a week for a food basket sufficient for a family of 3.5 persons, which has been judged "statisticslly average". Russians worked 48.8 hours, Ger­ mans, 20.4 hours, Frenchmen 19.4 hours and Britishers 22.5. The sur­ prise of the survey was that in the United States we psy substantially higher rents than workers in sny of the countries surveyed, and Moscow rents were lowest of all. A compact car, on the other hand, requires five months of work time in this country, 53 in Moscow, six in Munich, eight in Psris snd 11 in London.

Any AAP stores that were union are to have informational pickets. We'll be put­ ting two more picket lines in next week." Some concern had been expressed, particularly by senior citizens, that the picket might close down the operation. Sullivan commented that despite the informational picket, the grand opening was going very well. "It's not fun having them here," Sullivan said. "They want to organize the employees. I suggested we talk in 60 or 90 days but that wasn't enough for them. This does but jeopardize future relations with the union."
