On Monday, Feb. 19, committee members and two county officials visited the Winnebago county computer center in Rockford. The committee was primarily interested in learning just what the computer can do in the tax collection process. They learned that it can do almost everything except take the money over the counter. The computer can print tax books and bills, it can determine tax rates, it can produce lists of delinquent taxpayers and it can make tax distributions. Tax books and bills are now prepared with the use of address-ograph and NCR equipment in McHenry county. Tax rates and distributions are figured out by hand with the help of calculators. With the late projected completion of the re-assessment, McHenry county tax bills may not go out on time. The primary reason is that it takes too long to prepare the books and bills using the present equipment. Winnebago c< the other hand, expects i lems even though their sors are at the same stage as in McHenry county. The committee also attended a presentation by the manufacturers of Winnebago county's computer concerning use of better planning for county programs and heard that circuit court schedules and traffic tickets could be automated with the help of a computer. Besides Purchasing Committee Chairman Robert Stoxen of Chemung Township, William Ward (Chemung), L. Russell Beard (Greenwood), August Dahike (Coral) and Thore Emricson (Dorr) investigated the Rockford installation. County Clerk Vernon W. Kays and ' Treasurer Cal Skinner, Jr., also participated. wear to elegant cocktail dresses. Marjie Bridals of Golf Mill will present this attire and Gussie Diedrich of McHenry's Yarn Barn will show hand knit designer clothes, including evening gowns, bermuda shorts, panchos and suits.

"To the Editor: "God Bless America, John Leighty and thank God for all those wonderful teenagers who sang their hearts out in 'Up With People'. "Last Saturday night, as dutiful parents, we braved the bitter cold to see our son perform in what we thought would be -just another program. What a thrilling and delightful evening it turned out to be. From the first number to the last, the beat went on, and everyone in the audience couldn't help feeling the spirit of the music and the joy those kids were getting from singing out. "Let's have more of this type of thing. Give our teenagers a chance, our future is in their hands. "Sincerely, "Mrs. LeRoy H. Marshall" "Dear Editor: "Last Saturday night we had the privilege of attending the Sing-Out given by students of McHenry high school.

When they started with "Show boat - Go-Boat" you just knew you were in for a treat. As the Sing-Out continued you soon forgot the dark events of today and felt lifted into the clean, beautiful sunlight of the tomorrow that this type of youth is bound to create - if we as their elders do something to keep this country for them. We must realize 'Freedom Isn't Free' and 'Hear America Calling' the same as they do and ask questions, 'Which Way America?' "To John Leighty and all the students who took part, the high school and the community should be very proud of all of you. Our sincere thanks for a wonderful evening with the hope that you don't stop now but have all the Sing-Outs possible. "We need them!

Anything Worth Doing, ETC. If you plan to paint yourself a more beautiful room -- over a layer of wallpaper -- dofi*-t! it can be done with no resulting difficulties, but it is a risk. Old coverings are rarely in perfect condition and might not hold up under one or two coatings of color. Ugly rippling and tearing could ruin your paint job.
