w ^ Harvey Powmi, Btfhth DUtrfct iS that the Illinois L*fishas Governor Stratton's ii1! * J"'!®'--presented earlier than /£Sf many years--we can get to $V:; work on the state's major spend- 'ng needs. Here are some of the amcunis called for in the Governor's baJ- -uiced budget: For Administrative agencies: $362,451,363, a drop of $20,209,- 206 from the current two-yea: « period. For education: $164,038,000 to common schools, raising the per , capita allotment, and $89,211,- s 858 for colleges and universities. ' That is an increase of $3,751,- 300. For new buildings: $47,769.- WO, including a new state office building and improvements at velf.are and education centers, j For highways: $329,000,000, an increase of $79,718,395 over prei cet»t highway allotments. This is the biggest hike in the budget. - rtiich totals 51,552,400,290. ( One item which the state will I not have to pay is the $100,000 deficiency appropriation sought by the Coal Products Commission. I think that the work of a sub-committee, of which I was a member, has saved Illinois tax-* payers that much money and i possibly more which the Commission might have gone on spending without authorization. We gave our report to the Governor recently at a meeting attended by majority leaders of "he Legislature. It showed that ;tate funds had been spent for improvements on private property, that debts had been run ur without authorization, y^ri that the Commission Kept few records, even financial ones. ; Along with other northefti Illinois Legislators, I had dinner last week with 1>r. Leslie A. Holmes, president of Northern Illinois State College, at Dekalb. He discussed some r[ the problems we must face in the educational field. Progress cn this front has already been made with passage in the House of a number • of '-ecommendations of the Schoo' .Problems Commission. The sup- ;C**rt these bills got demonstrates .again haw anxious we are tc • ouild a beneficial school pro- ?ram. Recent visitors to the State Oaipital have been Judge Albert . • )'SuUivan, of Belvidere, in !? Springfield on business, and Mancel Talcott, former maycr of % Waukegaii, who attended House '•ommittee sessions. ll'i eaoy to take lovely and impressive pictures outdoors at night. Picture Talcing in the Night yOU know when the sun goes * down many picture taker* cither put away their cameras or get out their flash equipment to shoot indoors. Somehow the snapshooting possibilities outdoors at night never occur to them. Actually, it's a fine time to experiment with taking interesting* unusual and beautiful shots. One of the things necessary for taking such pictures is to have some means of rock-steady support for your camera, since they will be time exposures. While there's usually no fear of subject movement, there's always the possibility of camera movement A tripod is the best way of insuring yourself against such a happening. There's hardly a camera, no matter how simple, that isn't equipped for taking time exposures. So, actually, taking these pictures presents no problem. If you've ever seen the silhouette of a brightly lighted city against the night sky, you must have been struck by the thought of what a fine picture it would make. The bright reflection of light on water, a snow-covered street, a house gleaming a welcome through its windows, are all wonderful night time subjects for your camera. Also, in spring as the weather becomes Warmer and is often frequented by thunderstorms, you can take very interesting shots of the lightning. There's not much worry about composition with such pictures for the lightning itself provides the pattern. The length of exposure will depend on whether you wish a shot of one flash of lightning or whether you wish to record several, one after the other to make one picture. If you try the latter you'll end up with - fascinating .shot of an intricate maze of lines. If it is raining, these shdts can be made through a windo v. All you need to do is place the camera on a solid support, with the lens pointed in the direction of the lightning, and set it for a ti: - exposure. You needn't worry about the lens opening, because the vividness of the lightning will insure a picture at any setting. You cannot, of course, take such pi :tures of s^eet lightning, although it will serve as b good background against which buildings and trees will stand out as in a silhouette. Night shots such as these will impress your friends greatly. Although simple to make, they're very effective and dramatic. And you will see for yourself how much fun and satisfaction you can get out of using your camera outdoors after dark. ~John Van Guilder , J , J.',.1!" " . " * %: Boys and girls riding bicycles are frequently the victims of traffic accidents which could have been avoided by the use of a little more care on both their part and the part of aatomoblte drivers. Bicyclists most observe the same traffic laws as automobile drivers. (Section 24, Uniform Act Regulating Traffic.) One of the safety rules for bicycle riders which can do much to reduce each accidents is to ride single lie. Bicycle riders cannot maintain the speed at which most automobile traffic travels, and they will be overtaken and passed by moat calse going their direction. Riding single file will enable ears to pats them without swerving into the opposite traffic lane. Be sure your bike is equipped with a light on the front and a red reflector on. the rear, eo automobile drivers can see you readily. A copy of the booklet.

Discuss Street ^ Light Situatibn - , ifBuc rvus .. > ; A drive through the streets of McHenry at ni^ht will remind My of us "Young Old Timers" of McHenry as it existed more than a quarter of a century-ago. The street lighting situation is deplorable, with many lights inoperative. How could this happen suddenly? Who is to blame? I believe the city government is amiss of their duty. It is the responsibility of our duly elected officials to see that the water we drink is pure, it is also their responsibility to see that the streets of McHenry are properly lighted. I think the present lights should be repaired for temporary use and I believe we should have a new lighting sys- «r tern. *»t I do thm <£(• be dons tar all tpe people of the city of McHenry thropgh tMr city government. Our city Officials are elected for just such problems. There are various ways to attack such problems and finance them. We certainly would not ask the Kiwattis to underwrite our water I make these statements no animosity toward any IsdMdual or group but only in tfce sense of fairness. Any voluntary subscription plan for a. lighting system, even fit its beat, will be most inequitable. I believe there is another way, a more proper way, but if it WiH not be done and it has to be, t will be a generous but reluctant contributor. • ::: Richard J.
