Harrey Pearson One of the hottest sessions the Illinois house of representatives has seen this season came when the controversial "dog bill" reached amendment stage. , / Sponsors of the proposal to^rovide stray dogs to medical labor atories tried to take some of the sting out of their bill by writing in rules for "humane" treatment of* the animals. They got in ten of those, and the house accepted another that puts the law into operation only with the consent of local governments and if the medical schools pay part of pound costs. With, all thpse changes In the bill, a move to sent it back to committee for furthei- study seemed the wisest move, and I voted for that procedure. Backers of the< measure, though, wanted to push it through. They also succeeded in heating down a move by Rock Island's Rep. Clinton Searle to cut out the bill's enacting clause --the-part of a law that makes it law. But they didn't have many votes to spare on that proposal, and It's still a question whether the bill will pass the house. One measure approved grants a piece of lakeshore property to the village of Fox Lake, the first, I believe, it has ever owned on its own lake. It will be used for-recreation purpose^. Members, though, refused to approve a speed limit law for Illinois highways. It would have given highway police a better weapon against reckless drivers. A good bill, it deserved more support than the sixty-three votes it got. They were not enough for passage. ; The house did okay a serine of recommendations by the school problems commission , aimed at improving, education fbr Illinois children. With the new electric voting ABEA OFFICE 'STELL BEST SOTTRCfi FOR RENT INFORMATION machine, th•-Ce house can now put through bills within forty seconds of the time Speaker Wood says, "The question Is, shall this bill pass? Members will proceed to vote." • The " machine tallies the" roll call in three copies and the bill is wrapped up and sent to the" senate, or to the. governor for signature. It's a big improvement over the old method of calling 153 names--that used to take at least ten m|nutes, even on hon-controvereial bills. The best advice for landlorda and tenants with, rent control questions is still "ask the rent office," according to acting associate area rent director, Harold B. Jacobson. Although the questions prove to be much the same, each one requires Individual attention, the director explained. ; Tenants generally want to know what rent they should be paying and what services they're entitled to. This m£kes necessary a check of the landlord's registration. "Very often there is a folloWup." Mr. Jacobson said. "The ten> ant may nlake a written complaint that he's paying over-celling rent or that he's not getting all the required' services. Sometimes we discover that a . property is not registered. The next step is to talk with the landlord and get a registration from him." - . When landlords visit the rent office, they generally want to know how they can get a rent increase or what they must do to evict a tenant. "Every question has an answer; but we have to know all the facts i n o r d e r t o g i v e t h a t a n s w e r M r . Jacobson said. "We are continually publicizing the main points about rent control and we have fact sheets at the rent office that landlords and tenants may have without cost. Nevertheless, many questions a*e answered b e s t through personal Interview. W# find "that people often feel petter about having their problems settled in this way. . "That makes it our job," he emphasized, "to give answers clearly and courteously 'and without wasting the time of either the caller or our interviewer. We want people to ask the rent office and we promise to give service." mm The farm price of raw cotton has risen from 29.91 cents per pound at the time of the Korean outbreak, to 41.31 on Jan. 1, 1951, a rise of almost 40 percent.

ILLINOIS DRAFT QUOTA FOR JtJNEV TAKES REDUCTION Illinois has been ordered to supply 1,924 men for induction into the Armed Forces in June, it was announced by Col. Paul G. Armstrong, state selective service director. The quota for the present month, May, is 2,102. "Although the June quota la the smallest call made upon Illinois so far, it represents the largest percentage of the national quota which we have been asked to furnish," Col. Armstrong said. "It means that Illinois will supply 9.62 per cent of the national quota of 20.000." The relatively large call made on this state for June is the result of a new method used by national headquarters of selective set-vice in computing state quotas, according to Col. Armstrong. The national computation credits each state for voluntary enlistments as well as for reserves and National Guardsmen called into service. Similarly, each state Is debited for personnel separated from the Arriied Forces. Thus a state with proportionately few credits is required to make up the different* by inducting men. "The percentage of the national quota which the various states will be asked to furnish each month will fluctuate according to their credits and debits Under the new computation method," *• CQt. Armstrong declared. v OIL PRODUCTION The daily average productlttft of the Illinois fields during March was 164,000 barrels, with a total estimated flow for the month of 5,092,000 barrels, according to the monthly report of the state Geological Survey, Only nlnty-six Illinois oil \wlls were completed during the five-week period from Feb. 28 to April 3. Bad weather and heavy roads held drilling operations to less than normal proportions. March is usually the low month of the year in well completions.

The discovery of the most ancient dated man-made artifacts so far reported in the western hemisphere has been disclosed by anthropologists on the Berkeley campus of the University of California. Implements fashioned by primitive man in about 5,000 B.C. were uncovered near Lovelock, Nevada, recently by university anthropology students working under the direction of Robert F. Heizer, associate professor of anthropology. Dated by the new "carbon 14" method--a technique devised by nuclear physicists and the only method for really exact dating of prehistoric materials--wood spear shafts taken from the excavation site, were determined to be about 7,300 years old. In the upper layers of the excavation site the archaeologists found quantities of artifacts such as basket and arrow fragments of relatively recent origin, dating back about 2,300 years. Deposits of bat guana at a lower level, in which the ancient spear shafts, spear points, pieces of string, and evidence of campfires were embedded, were found to he 9,000 years old by the carbon 14 technique. A floor of lake gravels at the bottom of the site was estimated to be about 25,- 000 years old. From these findings and a survey of other sites in the area, the scientists were able to reconstruct the first reliable picture of prehistoric man's occupancy of the Humboldt Every 1 percent increase in the general price index adds 2 billion dollars a year to the price the farmer, businessman and worker pays for ^oods and servicea.

It FOB IAA UltfcES NEW DRIVER LICENSE LAW Traffic accidents in Illinois might be reduced 30 percent by bringing the state's driver license law up to date, John Lake, safety director of the Illinois Agricultural association, charges. "The/ law needs to be changed so tha| 'problem drivers' can be controlled," he said. "Problem drivers" were described by Lake as persons who have one accident after another, or are repeatedly breaking traffic laws. A small percentage of such drivers is causing a large percentage of the traffic mishaps, he said. "More than 70,000 persons were killed or injured on Illinois highways last year. Reducing this toll 30 per cent would mean saving lots of lives," the IAA safety director said. The IAA is the statewide Farm Bureau organization with more than 182,000 farm families as members. Under the plan to change the license law, responsible careful drivera would not have any trouble getting driver's licenses. Lake said. Here are the five major changes in the law he recomr mended: , (1) All state administration of driver licensing should be established in the department of public safety. To administer the new program, a new division should be established with a ataff choeeja on a merit basis, rather than under the present system. (2) Initial exams for driver's license should be more rigid. (3) The new division propoa«Q tp/handle driver licensing should collect and keep records of all violations and accidents for^every resident driver of Illinois. (4) The new division should have the authority anil responsibility to take corrective action or to withhold the driving ifrivlleges of any driver. (5) The ne# la# would set up a definite point plan for violiyfc tions, such as speeding, recklesr driving, passing a school bus, etc. When a driver has too many violations, he would lose his license and driving privileges. This has proven aa effective control measure.. ' "The present driver license law hasn't been changed since 1938," Lake said. "The << thousands maimed in highway accidenta each year show that we mus^ take some steps to reduce these accidents. Modernizing the driver liccnse law should be the first ' major -step."
