ILLINOIS ARCHITECTURE: A PROUD HERITAGE Plato decreed that form fol­ lows function, and wrote in the Republic that "The excellence or beauty or truth of every structure, animate and inani­ mate, and every action of man, is relative to the use for which nature or the artist has in­ tended them." In conscious response to that dictum a series of artist- builders created an architec­ tural expression, imaginative\ , and original, of the urban power and rural peace of Illinois. No history of world architecture could be complete without such names as William LeBaron Jenney, Louis Sullivan, Daniel Burnham, John Root, and Frank Lloyd Wright. These men captured the spirit and the need of Chicago following the great conflagration in 1871, rebuild­ ing it along principles which expressed democratic hope and commercial power. In the words of one ob­ server, "The simple force of need is such a principle of beauty, and these buildings so conspfcuously manifest that need, that in contemplating them you experience a singular emotion." And that need led to the great skyscrapers, many- storied buildings of structural stgel and glass, constructed ac­ cording to engineering princi­ ples which Jenney and his Chicago-based associates dis­ covered and applied in the waning years of the 19th cen­ tury. Burnham and Root designed the graceful Monadnock Build­ ing, 16 stories of masonry con­ struction rising from a founda­ tion six feet thick at street level with each subsequent wall slightly inset to form its stylish silhouette. Under the general supervision 'of Burnham a "great White City" was created along Lake Michigan to house the Columbian Exposition in 1893, and it alerted the senses of the nation to the possibili­ ties of transforming ugliness to beauty. Other colleagues and creators of what became the "Chicago School" of architec­ ture built theaters, libraries, and hotels throughout the burgeoning city. In response to the great commercial patrons of the day, to the necessity to house and to office great numbers of people in a small space, and to their own sense of beauty, these men produced an archi­ tecture uniquely suitable to Chicago. Skeleton frame con­ struction which made buildings of more than 10 stories eco­ nomically feasible was per­ fected by Jenney in the Home Life Insurance building be­ tween 1883 and 1885. Within a few years, full skeleton con­ struction with cast-iron columns replacing all exterior piers of masonry appeared. By 1892, cast iron was replaced by steel. The vertical thrust of the buildings gave a sense of pow­ er, a sense of a new way of life, a modern urban community based on money and tech­ nology. But for some the spirit of form could be horizontal, the prairie line, which deeply moved so many of them. Wright expressed the artist-architect's commitment to the prairie when he said, "1 love the prairie by instinct as, itself, a great simplicity; the trees, the flowers, and the sky were thrilling by contrast...the plain...serene beneath a won­ derful sweep of sky." He be­ came the foremost American innovator, an explorer of an organic architecture based on the integration of form, func­ tion, building site, and materi­ als, and on the subordination of style to human needs. Wright began to apply these ideas at the opening of the 20th century in such early prairie-style buildings as the Isabel Roberts house at River Forest; the Coonly house at Riverdale; the famous Robie house on Chicago's Woodland Avenue; as well as in the first Taliesin house at Spring Green, Wis., where he worked and taught. Indeed, the existence of a Frank Lloyd Wright house within its boundaries is noted with pride by cities and towns throughout the Midwest. Wright's work spanned two generations, pulling together the tum-of-the century world of Louis Sullivan, his teacher, and the modern era of Mies van der Rohe, uniting the best of two generations and giving Illinois its justifiable position in the architectural history of the world. by Gerry Johnson Survey Shows 'Old' is Not an Age ber of lonely, poor, isolated and ill older persons who must have assistance from public and private agencies, but not all older persons are so frail or alone that they covcry pollster Louis--Harris--need our pity. made in a national survey his "Older people themselves While millions of Ameri­ cans over 65 are going strong, that fact has not registered on the majority of the under- 65 population.

Our friends and neigh­ bors whom we have seen regularly during the warm weather and visited on their porches or lawns, will soon be back "in the house." The children and high schoolers will be off each morning to their school classes - leaving early by the school bus or walking with their friends. This will also mean that many of our older friends, especially those who are bedridden, or living alone and do not get out without help, will be missing the company which they enjoyed during the summer, watching the children play, having visitors from the city, relatives stopping to and from their vacations! For these people, especially, Fish has begun the "Fish Line" and volunteers will be calling our senior citizens and visiting with them by phone, to let them know of interesting doings in our town and seeing how they are doing. Just call the "Fish" number - 385-8020 and request someone to call you! If there is some other way you think possibly Fish could be of help to you, do call the "Fish" number. If we can, we will, or no doubt could direct you to the proper source to secure the answer• you need. Emergency babysitting, transportation, housework for the sick, are some of the things we can do. As you read this article about "Fish" in the Plaindealer today, may we suggest that you clip it out and keep it for future reference...put it in your purse...for there are many of our shut-ins who do not receive this publication and would not know about "Fish" and the work it does. You could then pass the information on to some of your friends and neighbors who may be in need of some help. Enjoy your Labor Day holiday ...remember the Fish number. M.G.

(UN TMCM COMER LOUSE* 4400 W. Rte. 120, McHenry organization conducted for the National Council on the Aging. The study showed that of the 18-64-year-old public: -- only 29 percent of this group viewed older people as "very bright and alert." -- only 19 percent thought older people were "very open minded and adapta­ ble." -- only 35 percent con­ sidered older persons as "very good at getting things done." This negative image of older people has excluded millions of older Americans from the work place despite their ability and desire to participate. The survey showed that: -- 37 percent of all over 65 who were retired said they were forced to retire. -- 31 percent of those over 65 who classified themselves as retired or unemployed said they would like to work. In contrast to the popular opinion of those under 65, the survey shows, Mr. Harris said, that older Americans "are pretty alert and feel full of life." However, Mr. Harris not­ ed, that while elderly indi­ viduals think of themselves personally as alert and ac­ tive, they believe that they are exceptions and the rest of the people over 65 are different. While, as the survey found, the older Americans may be better off, particularly men­ tally and physically, than most people thought, they do have serious problems. Fifteen percent of the people 65 and over said that "not having enough money ,to live on" was a very serious problem for them. This 15 percent figure translates into three million people who do not have enough money to get by. This is a bare mini­ mum figure because 23 per­ cent of the people 65 and over live on less than $3,000 a year. After all the results were tabulated, the report was labeled, "The Myth and Reality of Aging in Ameri­ ca." After studying the results of the survey, Jack Ossofsky, Executive Director of the National Council on the Aging, commented: "Admit­ tedly there are a great num- have come to accept the ster­ eotype of aging as accurate. Society has led them to be­ lieve that older people cannot function productively." Another conclusion of those who have reviewed the survey* is that most older people have both the desire and the potential to be pro­ ductive, c contributing mem­ bers of our society; they do not want to be put on the shelf. i For this survey, the Louis Harris pollsters interviewed 4,254 people-- 1,457 between 18 and 64 years old and 2,797 over 65. This is nearly three times as many as are interviewed for the national Harris political polls. IN MINOT, North Dako­ ta, "Seniors United" has developed a program to pro­ tect the elderly who are fre­ quently paid too little for their valuable possessions. Antique market values on many items owned by the elderly have increased and other items, though not tru­ ly antiques; fall into the cate­ gory of collectables (bottles, plates, buttons) and have be­ come prized by many people. Antique buffs in North Dakota, Minnesota and Wy­ oming cooperate, identifying objects as to origin and set­ ting a fair market price. The elderly person sends a photo­ graph or a complete descrip­ tion of the object to Seniors United. Any information that can be discovered about the object, including its cur­ rent market value if there is a ready market, is returned to the owner. Additional in­ formation can be obtained by writing Seniors United, Box 23 MSC, Minot, N.D. 58701. SIXTY-THREE-year-old Fred Haller is president of the 45 Senior Citizen Clubs with 45,000 members in Bro­ ward County, Florida. He told reporter Chris Tasher of the Broward Times (Tam- arac, Fla.) that the Senior Citizens "weren't originated to see what we can get out of the system, but originated instead to see what we can give."

(Pub. Aug. 13,15,20,1975) at, During August, 1775, the Patriots pursued the plan to send an expedi­ tionary force to Que­ bec. Rueben Col- burn, a boatmaker at Gardinerstown, was commissioned to construct 200 bateaux, each, to carry six or seven men. Supplies were accumulated. The expeditionary forc­ es, consisting of 1,100 men, were under command of Benedict Arnold. Other leaders in­ cluded Capt. Dan Morgan of Virginia, and his aide, Aaron Burr.
