' / people in November, contact: GOP ACTIVITIES Republican campaign activities are building up throughout McHenry county with visits from leading candidates prominent on the agenda. On Sept. 19, Republican candidate for Lt. Governor, Robert A. Dwyer, will address the McHenry Township Republican Women's Club at noon. On Sept. 28, Senator Dirksen will deliver the keynote address at 2 p.m. at the dedication of the new McHenry high school. This, of course, will be anon-political speech but Republicans are, none-the-less, proud that 'their man from Pekins was chosen for such an important assignment. At 7 p.m. that evening, Sen. Dirksen will make a political speech to county Republicans at Martinetti's in Crystal Lake. Then, at Harvard's Farm Day on Oct, 5, Republican candidate for Attorney General, William J. Scott, will make an appearance. Naturally, the public is invited to all of these events and reservations should be made in advance for those involving food service., In the meantime, plans are progressing toward establishing a county -wide political headquarters for the Republican party, according to an announcement by County Republican Campaign Chairman Anthony Varese of McHenry. Tentatively it is expected that the headquarters will be located in Crystal Lake, the most populous area of the county. However, consideration is also being given to the posslblity of something new and different, a mobile headquarters which could be moved from one community to another on occasion. County Central Committee Chairman A1 Jourdan, also of McHenry, announced that campaign activity would be stepped «p in McHenry county to surpass that of previous years. ... Mr. Jourdan reflected that a change of only 1 vote in each 1,- 000 cast would have resulted in a Nixon-Lodge majority rather •than the Kennedy-Johnson victory which did result. The difference was less than one vote in each voting precinct throughout the entire nation, so a change on about' one-half vote per precihct would have made all the difference, he said. In Illinois, a very slight increase in the Republican areas of the s|ate would have given the Illinois electoral votes to Nixon. Ogllvie, Scott and Harris HcM tended the Harvard Township GOP Women's club coffee at the Masonic Temple and presented some brief remarks to the women. - V. The three candidates held an 11:30 a.m. press conference at| the Czecho Lodge near Crystal Lake and attended the . noon meeting of the Crystal LakeKiwanis club at the lodge. At 2:15 p.m. a Caravan steak fry was held at the home of William Knourch, R.R. 4, Antioch. Final stop on the Sept. 10 Caravan was at 6:15 pun* at the Algonquin GOP Women's club dinner. ; STATE CARAVAN The Republican State campaign caravan visited the 12th Congressional district on Tuesday, Sept. 10, said Robert Coulson, Republican State Central committeeman from Waukegan. The caravan was headed by Richard B. Ogilvie, Republican candidate for Governor: William J. Scott, Republican candidate for Attorney General; and William Harris, Republican candidate for Auditor. First stop on the Caravan was the Court House of McHenry county in Woodstock at 8:30' ajn. The three GOP state candidates then attended part of the McHenry County Board of Supervisors' meeting before leaving for Harvard. INDIAN FESTIVAL .

ORUMAND BOGLE CORPS SETS GOAL FOR YEAR AHEAD The McHenry Viscount Drum and bugle corps has come totftex end of the summer season. After almost disbanding last spring, the corps has risen from the ten buglers and three drummers it had at the beginning of the season to its present size of twenty - five buglers, and twelve drummers, and has swelled its two competing color guards to full capacity. During this past summer, the corps has traveled through the state, and has visited neighboring states to participate in numerous parades and exhibitions. Tim Koleno, newly elected corps director, is gathering some of the finest drum corps instructors in their respective fields to instruct the cOrps this winter. With the growing membership and the quality of these instructors, the Viscounts hope to emerge next spring as the championship contenders they have been in the past. During the vvinter, the drum corps also hopes to be in "standstill" competitions. These contests are held indoors, usually in high school gymnasiums. The drum corps has set for its goal a thirty-four man horn line and a fifteen man drum line. Anyone between the age of 12 and 20 is eligible for membership.
