Good friends that they are, Len and Lee agreed to split the reward. In addition to hunting, the four of them caught the limit in fish.

About thirty women turned out for the evening, with most of them in costume because' of a fine which was imposed on those who didn't "dress." Marie Howe was stunning as a Chinese coolie in a beautiful imported outfit and Gillian McCarthy kept her identity a secret for sometime. She was a ghost. Cupcakes, doughnuts, cake, coffee and cider provided sustenance for the girls. Everyone agreed it was a "super" party.

This Ad Is Placed And Paid For As A Public Service By Your McHenry Chamber 01 Commerce BBTTIR COMMUNITIES (ADVERTISEMENT) MOBILE HOME LIVING A new way Of life* in America to which over 3,000,000 people have already turned to'is the Mobile Home. Who are these folks and what do they do? This question i§ a big mystery to. the average American citizen. Actually these people are no different than yofl) who live in a house or apartment. In fact, nearly all of them at one time owndd a home or rented a, house or an apartment. Percentage- wise the facts are these: 23% of the group are comprised of our own sons and daughters serving 4n the armed services; 59% are occupational workers who have to move to any area where largp building projects are to be con^u pleted. Such jobs are the atomiP energy projects where 10,000 Mobile Homes have moved in to do the job for our government. This past summer the gas pipeline job in McHenry County called for experienced engineers and workmen. Our stationary housing was inadequate and no place was available for these people to park their Mobile Homes. It was our neighboring State of Wisconsin whte took care of the greater majority of them. Some of our county officials know the facts as to the $1,200,000.00 payroll our business men in McHenry County were unable to capitalize* upon. At the present time the Toll Road project is opening up through our frdnt yard and again we are unable to capitalize on this much larger project which will last from two to five years. Surely the various locs^ Chambers of Commerce through-' out McHenry County, comprised of our business men, should be interested in this extra revenue. Another 18% of the mobile home group are the retired people who have found in mobile homes a solution to the problem of living happily, simply, and with flexibility, on reduced income. The new modern Mobile Home is up to 59 feet in length and up to 10 feet ilS width, offering conveniences as modern as any home built today. To those who refer to and think of the Mobile Home occupant as an undesirable element in a community should first acquaint theniselves with the fact that business men, schpol teachers, doctors, bank employees, government workere, ministers, service people, store clerks, carpenters, retired folk, and youtw., married couples are the group trJ which reference is made. Take the case of the newly married couples. Instead of piling up high rent receipts, they take pride in the ownership of a home of their own, a mobile home. Who are we to say that "a man has more right to go up and down a river than he has to go across a river?" Many times a local legislative court issue is obscured with irrevelent statfl ments. Every court issue is to termine the right of man. When local government or public officials try to lirrjit or suppress Mobile Home parking or movement, they are trying to deprive man of his rightful heritage of living in or moving the house of his choosing. The actual question is "has man equal right to live in a house on wheels as house on a foundation?" The question is that simpler , and there is only one answer. "Yes? he has." In regard to our schools and taxation problem, we should realize the following. There are only about 130 mdbile homes parked in the four parks in McHenry county, and about 50 children attending school. This is slightly above the State of Illinois average of 27/100 child pep mobile unit. Can 50 children overload the McHenry County school^ As for taxation, all McHenry County Mobile Homes arp assessed as personal property as well as the autos their owners drive. We all realize that our tax laws are obsolete and need to be amended; not just for Mobile Home residents, but for every individual in the state. There is no individual small home owner or small section of dwellings in any community that pays its own way in full by tax. I There is a college graduate in one out of seven mobile homes. There are 30,000 registered voters in Illinois who live in mobile homes. The mobile home owner is an asset to the community in which he resides. The average annual income per mobile home family exceeds the national average by more than $1,000. The typical mobile home family spends approximately per week on purchases from me>-' chants in the community in which he resides. Fifty-nine percent of these families attend church regularly. It is time we all attempt to think clearly and objectively about Mobile Home people who are the same as you and I, instead of being aroused like a herd of sheep by those who know very little aboivt "who's who" in the mobile homi" Our United States Government has recognized the Mobile Home by providing FHA loans for the construction of new and modern mobile home communities. Mobile Home Living is a new way of life and the mobile home is here to stay. Signed Ernest C. Andreas Mobile Home Sales Crystal Lake, 111. A
