1 s'"9 competition £PW Club Members At Federation Conference About twenty-four members of the McHenry chapter of Sweet Adelines will be competing with eighteen other choruses from the lAke Michigan Region 3 area in the 1978 competition to be held at thePantlind hotel, Grand Rapids, Mich., April 7,8 and 9. Region 3 has selected their theme this year as "Make Your Own Kind of Music". From left, in front row, are Darlene Navarolli, Jane Umbarger and Ruth Grabbe. More than 400 women from throughout the 168 clubs in the state heard Governor James R. Thompson discuss the "State of the State" accomplishments and goals remaining at the Illinois Federation of Business and Professional Women's club thirteenth annual conference in Springfield. Lynne Donarski, Legislative chairman of the McHenry Business and Professional Women's club, and Janis Wegener, Legislative com­ mittee member, attended. The conference highlighted the nearly 10,000 members' concern for ratification of the Equal Rights amendment in Illinois. Buttons, banners, hats, even aprons were evidence of member enthusiasm and support of equality of rights under the law. Governor Thompson reaffirmed his support and urged BPW to work to elect pro ERA can­ didates to the House and Senate. The Illinois ERA coalition president, Ms. Jean Maack, provided up to the minute in­ formation on all the House and Senate candidates' positions on ERA, and discussed election strategy for BPW and other supportive organizations to follow. Ms. Jean McCarrey, the luncheon speaker, gave a rousing pep talk to inspire BPW to put forth the energy to win the race for ratification before the March 22, 1979, deadline on ERA. Dr. Frank Osanka, of Lewis university and a national authority on child abuse, provided the women with in­ formation on the new national child abuse law. The BPW clubs have supported issues of interest to women's education, child care, credit and in­ surance, employment, aging, family services, health, welfare, and taxes. Many BPW members hold elective or appointive offices and are politically active in their communities. During the afternoon session, Dr. Elizabeth Kaspar of Western Illinois university reviewed some of the history of the women's movement with a slide presentation "Herstory - Ourstory; the story of Susan B. Anthony and Women's suf­ frage." Ms. Jo Ann Horowitz, delegate to Women's Year conference in Houston, Texas, reported on Business and Professional Women's clubs contribution. Ms. Emma Goldsmith gave the perspective of an interested observer who has attended many women's conferences. The Legislative conference is held each year in Springfield, though President M. Fidelia Doolin indicated the Illinois BPW clubs seriously con­ sidered moving the conference from Illinois, and unratified (ERA) state, to a ratified state - such as Iowa, Indiana, or Wisconsin. The national B&PW initiated in 1975 the economic boycott of Illinois and Missouri convention centers, and since then BPW national conventions were held in Colorado and Kentucky which have excellent convention centers. Lynne Donarski, Legislative chairman of the McHenry Business and Professional Women's club, was appointed to the National Business Women's week committee.

"Sunday Serendipity" is the name for a delightful Sunday combination of architectural preservation and fun to be held April 16 at the Old Courthouse and Jail in Woodstock. The event will begin at 1 p.m. with a preservation conference en­ titled "Resources for Keeping Your Architectural Legacy". Presented by the Landmarks Preservation service, the conference will be followed by dinner and a professional play staged in the historic cour­ troom. Professionals in several aspects of the preservation field will speak on the economics, laws and techniques that can be used by the growing numbers of communities and individuals who want to preserve their architectural heritage. The featured speakers will be Micahel Young, real estate consultant with Shlaes and company; Chris Duerksen, attorney with Ross, Hardies, O'Keefe and Babcock; Walker Johnson, architect with Holabird and Root, all from Chicago; and Cliff Ganschow of Woodstock, developer of the Old Courthouse and Jail. Some of the techniques to be discussed are ordinances, tax incentives, adaptive use, surveys, publications, and sensitive rehabilitation. In­ cluded in the conference will be a tour of the beautifully restored Woodstock Opera House. The conference is funded in part by the National En­ dowment for the Arts. The second half of the April 16 event is a live courtroom drama entitled "The Night of January 16". It will be presented in the courtroom of the Old Courthouse and Jail at 8 p.m. by the victory Gardens theater of Chicago. The play was especially staged by Dennis Zacek for historic Illinois courthouses under a grant from the Illinois Arts council, a state agency. The trial of a woman for the murdeF of her employer is the theme of the play, with a jury selected from the audience. Actors are prepared with alternate con­ clusions to the play, depending on the jury's finding of "guilty" or "not guilty". Dinner at the Courthouse Inn has been arranged especially for this event. For reser­ vations, call 338-2053. The 120-year-old courthouse and jail is a Woodstock land­ mark structure, formerly housing the offices of McHenry county. Its restoration began in 1973. The original courtroom, the site for "Sunday Seren­ dipity",. was retained for historical displays and special events. The Landmarks Preser­ vation Council & Service is the state-wide, private, not-for- profit organization in Illinois dedicated to keeping landmark buildings and districts in active use. LPC-S is supported by memberships and gifts as well as grants for specific projects. The Russians have a habit of testing the. will of U.S. presidents - (the 1962 Cuban missile crisis was the most dramatic) and, having gotten the best of President Carter in the Horn of Africa, they are now moving on to the big test, Rhodesia. While the Carter Traveling TV special was making its way across South America the other day, Andrew Young's favorite "stabilizing influence," the Cuban foreign legion was beginning to move into Mozambique, next door to Rhodesia. Backed by Russian MIGs and tanks, the Cubans will be positioned for a major assault on Rhodesia, if needed by the Soviets. Because the Carter administration's signals over the Rhodesian internal set­ tlement have been confusing and contradictory, the Russians, not surprisingly, have decided the time has come to see just how far they can push Carter. The ultimate objective of the Russians in Africa is to control the mineral riches of Rhodesia and South Africa and the sea lanes (our oil route) from the Persian Gulf to the Cape of Good Hope. Meanwhile, their newest move looks like a classic Soviet power play. Trojan Horse The Russians have ap­ parently picked terrorist leader Joshua Nkomo as their Trojan Horse for Rhodesia. Robert Mugabe, the other terrorist leader, comes out second best in most scenarios. The Soviets have every reason to want the moderate internal solution in Rhodesia to fail. If they can't kill it by pressuring the British and us to force Nkomo . and Mugabe on the moderates (with Nkomo coming out on top afterward) they can always turn up the ' voltage by sending in the Cubans as military persuaders. They are betting that we would do precisely nothing about that. It's not a bad bet, considering the administration's recent track record on the Rhodesian issue. When he named Andrew Young as UN ambassador, Mr. Carter must have given him carte blanche, for Young has been going off like a verbal Roman candle ever since. His gift for outrageous statements and insults seems to be mat­ ched only by his lack of un­ derstanding of global realities. The ink hadn't dried on the moderate pact in Salisbury when he began denouncing it. Cooler heads at the State department realized, as the British have, that the internal settlement just might be the right answer and managed to get Young silenced, but not for long. Last week he was in Dar es Salaam, lobbying against the internal settlement with various members of the Organization for African unity. A Need To Be Liked Young seems to feel a great personal need to be liked by the heads of state of those Rhodesian neighbors which call themselves the "frontline" states. They have their own fish to fry, of course, but Young seems unable to make the distinction between their self- interests and ours. Before the current guerrilla war, Rhodesia was the area's most prosperous economy, far overshadowing its neighbors. They would much prefer a weak neighbor, no better off than they, and certainly not one which, by democratic example, makes their own people restless When the Soviets push, will Carter, behind-the-scenes, tell them to get lost? Watch the Cubans in Mozambique Sand watch the SALT negotiations for the answers. The Russians want the SALT treaty badly. It works to their advantage. If the talks stall, Carter is stiffening. If the Cubans don't move, he's stiffening. If SALT moves ahead without change, following a Cuban attack on Rhodesia, you can figure Carter's lost the test. Though the S.S. HOPE was retired in 1974, Project HOPE continues its medical education programs in land-based facilities in twelve developing areas on four continents. ON YOUR FAVORITE LARGE PIZZA!
