Uii Musin' & Meanderin {. (Continued from page 1) The crusade was in full swing when the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment divided the forxfes of reform. 31te radicals, led by Susan B.-Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stftaton, opposed the amendment because it gave the vote to-Negro men but not to women. They organized the National Woman Suffrage association. A more moderate group founded the American Woman Storage association and concentrated on persuading the states rather .than the federal government, to grant voting rights to women. In 1872 ,the determined Miss Anthony was arrested for voting and her trial focused wide attention on the feminist fight. Several states granted woman suffrage in the 1890's and others began , to take the idea more seriously. At the time, the suffragists reunited in the National American Wbman Suffrage association and prepared for the big push. Their chance came with , World War I and the expanding role of women. , Militant womanhood descended on Washington, D.C. They paraded through the capital, picketed the White House and carried on hunger strikes in Jail. In 1917 a woman suffrage amendment to the Constitution was submitted to the House of Representatives. The pressure was stepped up and in 1918 Woodrow Wilson personally went before a joint session of Congress to urge passage. Congress took action and the last of the necessary threefourths of the state approved the Nineteenth Amendment in August, 1920, just in time for the presidential election. < This election year is drawing toward a climax, and traffic signs all over the country -- especially stop signs -- are blooming with multi - colored political stickers. That's fine for the politicians, but it's dangerous for the motorist whqse attentioir might he distracted from a sign's message by a candidate's name in bright red, white and blue letters. The danger is particularly acpte at night, Reflective traffic signs, made to bounce headlight beams -- and the sign's message- directly tack to .oncoming drivers, can lose their effectiveness if they're covered by a political sticker. • That's why state and municipal laws often prohibit political stickers on traffic signs, or even near them. Considering that a car moving 30 mph travels 44 feet in just one second, a onesecond distraction could be fatal -- especially at an intersection. It's unlikely that any political candidate calls his workers together at the start of a campaign and says, "Now, I want you to take these stickers and put them on all the traffic signs you can find." It's more logical to suppose that a campaign worker, looking for places to put the posters he is carrying under his arm, will spy a traffic sign and get an "inspiration". With hundreds of enthusiastic campaign workers at large during any given election year, it's easy to see how such inspiration can spread. And public employees are sometimes reluctant to remove such illegal stickers on traffic signs, particularly those of their bosses - elected officials who are running for reelection; What can you do about these illegal and dangerous posters? First of all, if you're a campaign worker, don't paste them on traffic signs, and encourage your co-workers to do the same. If you're not a campaigner and you notice a stickered sign, either remove the sticker yourself or notify the police of the situation. At least one of the major candidates this year recognized the value of reflective signs -- he's had his bumper stickers coated with the same type of material. This way, he gets maximum exposure both day and night. And he might even help some motorist avoid a rear-end collision some night. We noticed many attractive Halloween settings in our travels through Mc Henry and the outlying subdivisions. Some we were able to get on film; others we just enjoyed. The many folks who took the time and trouble to bring them into being deserve a big hand from those of us who appreciate their labors. If you have the time and like music, it should be worthwhile to get in the car and travel to Marengo high school next Monday evening where 600 county high schoolers will be giving their all, vocally, in the annual McHenry county music festival. This is an event that has brought pleasure to hundreds annually for at least seventeen years.

Again, Mr. Anglese emerged top teacher and his file was sent to the office of Supt. of Public instruction Ray Page in the Capitol as McHenry County's choice for state competition. Last Monday, the local teacher travelled to Springfield and met with a state committee,} where he was interviewed for about forty-five minutes con1? cerning particular events in his teachering career; details of the new modular system in the McHenry school; his transfer from teaching to the counseling field; and his plans for the future. After further study and inter-, views with representatives of the state's 102 counties, the state teacher of the year will be named. • , q A teacher in McHenry since 1930, Mr. Anglese is presently a department chairman at the West campus.

Both speakers felt that integration, per se, is not the main problem, but challenged Leaguers to work for prbgrams which will promote ind^idual dignity and development. Another autumn event, the League's annual program conference, was attended by Mrs. Daniel Weisz, Mrs. James Miyashiro and Mrs. Orient Malone. Besides hearing from gubernatorial candidates, Samuel Shapiro and Richard Ogilvie, the ladies observed a panel, "Dialogue with the City". Participants in talking about job and business opportunities for the disadvantaged were Rev. Arthur Brazier, head of the Woodlawn organization, Don Graham vice-chairman of the board of directors of Cbntinental Illinois National Bank and Trust Co., of Chicago, Mrs. Brenetta Howell, Lawndale branch manager of the Chicago Economic Development Corporation, Ted Williams, youth worker for the Illinois Youth commission, and former officer of the West Side Vicelords, and Mrs. William Gobble, president of Citizens Information Service who moderated. Hearing first hand about the needs of the ghetto and understanding the solutions available will aid League members in putting the solutions into practice. Citizens Information Service used this meeting for a "pilot project" discussion group which it hopes will be imitated through the state. Much of the information gleaned from these meetings and individual study will be presented at local League meetings on Thursday, Nov. 14, at 8 p.m. in the McHenry public library, and on Tuesday, Nov. 19, at 1 p.m. in the home of Mrs. James Miyashiro, 426 Lawndale, Woodstock. The public is cordially incited to attend either of these meetings. Mental Health iCIink, Family -fervke Merge (Continued from page 1) The flow of the person from mental health to family service without restraint is a part of an overall concept, which has been termed, 'The Circle of Services' and 'Continuity of Care*. A similar restraint on the staff has been lifted by the merger. While mental health needed family service to deal with non - psychiatric problems, family service was certain to need psychiatric and psychological services to carry on the work with clients seen in the agency. With the merger, both psychiatric and psychological services become immediately available". There are side benefits to the merger. One , is the economic factor, which is of interest to the taxpayers. Shared staff, shared facilities, and shared expenses comprise the financial savings resulting from the coalition". Dr. Salvador Martinez, medical director, will direct the clinical services of the mental health staff. A sig>ervising social worker, experienced in family service work, will be in direct managerment of day-to day family service functions, and will be responsible for all incoming calls for service. He will channel requests for services to either mental health or family service, as the nature of the problems dictates. A Family Service Caseworker will also be added to the staff. Financial support for family services will be obtained from the McHenry County Mental Health fund, service fees, and voluntary contributions from interested citizens. Final ratification will occur in January of 1969. While the formal operation of this Family Service will not begin until Jan. 1, 1969 persons interested in these services can call the agency at this time. Limited volunteer services are available at the agency now. FRI., NOV., 1, 1968- PLAJNDEALER - PG. INCOMING UCP ; PRESIDENT AT >68 CONFERENCE ^ Mrs. John L. Boehm of McHenry, attended the annual campaign conference of United Cer- . ebral Palsy associations which was held in Milwaukee this week.
