IT PAYS TO ill . fHE CLASSIFIEDS WOMEN VOTERS SHOW FILM ON WATER POLLUTION The League of Women Voters of Woodstock-McHenry invites the public to a showing of the film "Water Bill, USA" at the American Legion Hall, Ringwood Road, McHenry, on Wednesday, July 17 at 7:30 p.m. " This film has excellent coverage of the many water management problems now facing our state and nation, and should be interesting as well as informative," said Mrs. Jack Loggins, Water Resources chairman. The color film was produced by Caterpillar Tractor Co. and is narrated by Walter Cronkite. It covers'the Watershed Act of 1954 as well as the problems of water pollution, water ground depletion, flooding and farm irrigation. The League has recently intensified its water resources study in anticipation of legislative action this month. The local committee includes Mrs. Loggins, chairman, and Mrs. Floyd Cooley, Mrs. Frank Gregory, Mrs. James McMahon, Mrs. Walter Wanger and Mrs. Gerson Widoff. All League members and other interested women are invited to attend the monthly study sessions. Information may be had from Mrs. Loggins, 385-5045, or any committee member. Letters announcing another information service to local voters have been sent to local clubs and organizations. "We hope everyone will take advantage of this opportunity to become well informed on one of the major issues of this year," said Mrs. Daniel Weisz,president of the Woodstock-McHenry League, in announcing formation of a Con-Con speakers bureau. The Speakers Bureau, headed by Mrs. Donald Meyer, will provide League members to speak to organizations and groups about the Constitutional Convention which will be voted upon at the general election in November. After thorough study the state committee of the League of Women Voters strongly feels that there is an urgent Grandma Sez - - - Ya know, I been a gittin' out a bit, lately , a callin on my n e i g h b o r s and f o l k s in . I v U l lage and round abouts, ana I think this is one o' the friendliest communities I ever run across. I used to visit folks in the city, long time ago, but never did I meet a nicer bunch o* folks, as populate this part or the country. Sure is nice to meet up wi' such a wonderPly cooperatin* group, so hospitable and friendly-like, some first time a meetin', too. It makes a body's heart sing and rejoice. Seems to me thet it would be purty sad to change the atmosphere o* the town o' McHenry, and the peaceful quietude 0* this beautiful countryside, for the sake o* so-called "Progress". Folks have lived in the community fer many years, and some fer nigh on to a lifetime. Seems like a criminal shame to upset the tenure of life of so many, fer the sake o* money. Money isn't everythin*, and though it is needed, in amounts to pervide a place to sleep and a place to eat and a place to need for this convention, which would review Illinois' 1870 Constitution. The Woodstock * McHenry League presentations include a short flannel board skit and short talks. These are avilable during September and October, or earlier if more convenient. The letters inviting local groups to contact League for arrangement of speaking dates were recently sent out by Mrs. Meyer, chairman of the Con-Con study. She asks that organizations which may have been missed contact her at 385-0612 or Mrs. Weisz, 338-2579) live and love with one's family, it cain't buy happiness. Matty's the time, Pve heard an elder o' mine, say thet time is the most valuable thing a body possesses in this life. Them words is as true as kin be. And it behooves the individual, to spend it more carefully than he spends his gold. Soon, there won't be a place where a body kin find peace and quiet, fer the simple reason thet men kin only see money, and don't count the cost, in human comfort. Deprivin' a man o' his home, to promote monied interest, is akin to sin, in my way o* thinkin'. A man takes a little piece o* land to make him a home fer his mate and their younguns. He plants trees thet grow, in size and beauty, 'til they top the house thet he builds with love and devotion. He lives on thet precious piece o* land fer many years, and lo* 'n behold, someone comes along who kin see dollars in thet land. The man is forced to give his home and cot, when the ripe years hev caught up wi' him. His youth is gone, and all the fond memories are wrapped up in the walls o* his castle. It's about enough to do a man in, to hev to turn his whole life over to someone who wants to make a dollar. Gold, the root o* all evil isworkin' all over the world and the lust fer the "Filthy lucre" is behind all the terror, greed and death'.
