If some car dealers want to be open on Sunday, because it's an important shopping day. they should have that option. "By supporting this measure. I m not saying that all car dealers and their workers should have to work on Sunday." Klemm added. "I realize that many people want to take that day off for religious reasons. But I think the decision on whether to remain open should be made by the management of the business, with consideration for employees' religious freedom.

HARRISON LANE' Publisher Bill Burfeindt left the McHenry newspaper in 1*1 with a suggestion that when we were free for lunch we should call him at his Woodstock office. The weeks passed, then the months, and finally the years until 1984 when several of us no longer answered the summons of deadlines. Was there much to remem­ ber? And could we recall some of the highlights of 23 years ago and more? Indeed we could- and we did. There was a time when the heavily-traveled Elm Street was a narrow road. When the need was seen to widen it, someone recalled that only the firm, guiding hand of the city's police chief. John McCarthy, was needed to help a citizen safely across the thoroughfare. Not so today. We recalled how the business commumty underwent changes in the post World War n period as it continues to do today. was a "Saturday night town.' When it was suggested by that the time had come to keep stores open Friday Digits and dose evening* on the weekend, there was dhriskn in the ranks. The action may seem today as an inevitable part of a changing but when it M usin' &, anderin BY KAF happnud, A was a momentous conversion that bocdeted on fickleness in the minds of some. Was there fun intermingled in the memories exchanged? Of The company picnic at Veterans Acres in Crystal was a much anticipated. all-day event that brought the entire family of newspaper folks to this recreational spot The Plain- dealer publisher of the fifties recalled with a chuckle the summer day when a par­ ticularly mischievious young linotype operator placed a harmless bomb-type mechanism under the hood of our car of forties vintage. When we stepped on the starter the noise was deafening and we broke all speed records in making our way to the surface of the parking lot Names crowded each recollection of former staff members, but only our own went back to the days of a southern drifter who worked briefly as our linotype operator. Hie piuaiiuity of a tavern to the newspaper office proved too great a temptation One warm, summer afternoon the gen­ tleman. who carried a most prestigious name, left via the back door, had his 60 of the brew at the neartqr taphouse and left without even collecting his pay. There were more - many of them - whose names flooded our memories: Paul Aliert, whose Urge heart and big smile compensated for his stature; Loonie Rooksby, the father-son duo of Andy and WQlard Grant, George Bradley and '"Mac" McKibbin And there were others. The old flat bed press took several hours to turn out a few hundred newspapers. The folder was a band-operated contraption subject to the whims of static, crunching together papers surprisingly often and requiring a detailed recovery process. Certainly we must have thought there would be something better in the years ahead. There was. The im­ provements made in the past 25 years in almost every line of work could be considered momentous and are hailed by all forms of the media. Then what is missing today if we have all of these ad­ vancements that should make work easier? Take it from one of us who have worked in both times, the missing ingredients are fun and memories. Thememories will come when today's workers everwhere grow old enough to remember. Unfortunately, fun is a spon­ taneous ingredient of life that is too often removed from everyday living by an inordinate push for success and money.
