Hope you have a wonderful day, Frank. We love you! Another birthday is rolling around in the next week that's worth making a note of. Louise Bergquist, formerly of Lake Shore drive, is still residing at Magnus Farm, which is a retirement center at 801 E. Central road, Arlington Heights, 60002.

Historical Scenario The bathtub was invented in 1850. Twenty-five yean later, the telephone was introduced. Thus, if you lived in 1850, it would have been possible to sit in the bathtub for the next 25 years without having the phone ring once. , •'M MCC T V P r o d u c t i o n McHenry County State's Attorney Ted^Floro, center, answering questions of Journalism instructor, Joseph Longmeyer, left, and Kay Scoiaro during TV interview at MCC. MCC Photo by Ray Dickinson (The following is one in a series of articles written by McHenry County college Journalism students from McHenry. This week's writer is Kay Scoiaro) "Lights, camera, action! McHenry County college Journalism class interviews McHenry County State's at­ torney, Ted Floro! Take one!" The interview began with those verbal shouts and then the director, an MCC student, slowly and with perfect enunciation, introduced Ted Floro; MCC Journalism in­ structor, Joseph Longmeyer and Kay Scoiaro, another student. These three people, then became the principals in a taped television production produced entirely by the Journalism class with the expert help of Joe Cornelia, the coordinator of the educational TV facility of MCC. The class manned the cameras, worked with the control monitor, directed the action and provided questions to the State's Attorney as the audience. Ted Floro, recently ap­ pointed to replace William Cowlin, clarified his position's responsibilities to the Jour­ nalism students by submitting a reading of the Illinois Con­ stitution. He did add that his position is the most powerful law enforcement fuction in the county, as only he can call a grand jury. When asked about changes in the office from the Cowlin administration, Floro an­ swered, "My system will im­ prove on what we have now. I see no substantial change. It is a successful operation and I see no reason to want to tear everything apart, just to do it my way. As change is needed, I will do it." Floro also said he is supporter of plea bargaining. "It keeps the courts functioning. Without it, by the end of the year, we would be so backlogged! And now there is no backlog." Flor added that delay in court cases (before the use, of plea bargaining) worked in favor of the defendant as the principals involved might possibly change addresses, making charges difficult to secure. And he did „ stress that even with plea bargaining, the judge does have the final say. Floro believes strongly in protecting the rights of those whom he defends or even prosecutes. When questioned on the rights of the press, he states that the press has no right to sway jurors just as he, as an attorney, has no right to sway or persuade jurors. He cited the John Gacy murder case publicity as evidence of what a press can do to convict someone before the trial begins. Floro found much opposition to those views with the jour­ nalism students. Each express­ ed his views-Floro first and then some of the students. And as one student, Mary Parks, remarked, "We covered a lot of ground, but no compromise was made." The interview ended, the lights dimmed and the camera crew clustered together to discuss their success and-or failure of handling the new equipment. Then everyone took seats to view the tape of what the class had just produced. They laughed or criticized. They shuffled and then sighed. And when it was all over, they were proud. They had put together a first rate video tape, considering their inexperience. And thanks to Ted Floro, a gentleman with strong convictions and a belief in his responsibilities, they had a tape that was interesting and even entertaining. Implement Mail Size Standards Size standards for envelopes, cards and other pieces of mail will become effective July 15, the Postal service has an­ nounced, following a Salt Lake City, Utah meeting of its board of governors. The Postal service's governor also adopted a recommended 7 cent surcharge for over sized and odd shaped pieces of mail The new size standards were recommended by the Postal rate commission in April, 1976, and adopted shortly after that by the Postal service's governors. It was stipulated that they would not become effective until after the spring of 1978, giving customers at least two years to prepare for the change and exhause their supplies of non-conformating envelopes and cards. The governors directed that both the surcharge and new minimum size standards become effective on the same date. This means that after July 15, pieces will be non-mailable if they are less that 3'> inchgs high, 5 inches long, orseven thousandths (.007) of an inch thick. Subject to the 7 cent sur­ charge will be first class mail weighing one ounce or less and single piece third class mail of two ounces or less that exceed any of these dimensions: (Note, only first class of one ounce or less and third class of 2 ounces or less) 6-»h inches high, 114 inches long, or >4 inch thick. Subject to the surcharge are odd shaped pieces within only the weight units noted above. The acceptable size ratio for such pieces is this: the length must be between 1.3 times and 2.5 times the height There are two basic reasons for the new standards. The surcharge on oversized and odd shaped pieces will reflect the extra costs of handling them. Because of their dimensions, they usually cannot be put through letter sorting machines. The upcoming prohibition on smaller mailing pieces and flimsy cards is based on the fact that they can become trapped in other mail, tear and jam mail processing machinery. And, as a result, other mail can be damaged. There are some exceptions to the minimum size prohibition. If a piece is more than one- fourth of an inch thick it does not have to measure at least 3> 2 inches high or 5 inches long. Thicker pieces, such as film mailers, can be mechanically culled from the "River" of letter mail moving through a Post office's facing and can­ celling equipment. Also exempted from all but the minimum thickness standard are keys, identification cards and tags. Film cartridge en­ velopes, if lightweight, will be subject to the surcharge.
