RECEIVES PROMOTION friends will be interested to learn that* Carl L. Antonson, industrial engineering chief in the building products division of John s-Manville Products Corp. in Waukegan, has been promoted to °the position of industiral engineering supervisor. effective Feb. 1. Antonson began his career with the company in 1943 as a jwyor chemist. He attended Grendale college, where he studied mechanical. engineering, and has completed courses in statistical quality control at Lake Forest "college and Northwestern university. He is a 1958 graduate of Lake Forest i College Industrial Manage- j ment Institute. I THE TAX PROBLEM I would like to ask Mr. Cornue a few questions regarding the list of personal property taxes published in the Plaindealer last Week. Does he think it is'constitutional'to "tax on tax? When we purchase anything -^-car, clothes, furniture, etc., there is a sales tax. This is either consumed or aged with use. Why then another tax? \ • Take, a car for instance.4 I venture to say 90 per cent of these cars have a mortage. We pay for a license vehicle every year for the privilege of driving and also insurance. Why a tax - for^ penalty of owning something? Without it we are Jost as there is no other trarisportation. A budget cannot be balanced as long as new ways are created to collect taxes and taxes, as this involves printing, rjiailing, employees for collection and so on and on and we the thrifty might as well be shifty. Let our taxes go and join the "don't cares". For the tax situation gets heavier1 and heavier. I could name a few names that are not on that list. Why are they immune? I have quite a few relatives in/Indiana and the older a home/gets the less taxes are paid.jAre we going to keep going like the bull frog in „ the fable who boasted ho could blow himself up larger than any one else? He did and broke up into fragments. It's time we concentrate on cutting expenses instead of creating taxes for these things we need to live from day to day and have already been taxed for when purchased. I am writing to Public Pulse as a free citizen who has no other way of reaching the public. God Bless America for that privilege. Mrs. Netti Sarley MINOR ACCIDENT ^mbrose Schaefer of Pista- j kee Bay road, McHenry, and j George Kolgore of Rt. 1, McHenry, escaped injury when their cars collided head-on at 4:45 Tuesday afternoon on a sharp curve on Fox street. State police said the Kolgore car was in the wrong lane when the accident took place. THANKS FOR MvHENRY Mr. Donald Doherty President McHenry Chamber of Commerce McHenry, 111.

Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield that a modern post office has been authorized for Spring Grove The Post Office department is asking for competitive bids to lease a modern facility. The facility will be leased under the department's commercial leasing program. Specifications call for a facility containing approximately 1,000 square feet of floor space with an adequate area.for parking and truck maneuvering. According to Postmaster Eva Freund, •" bids should be submitted to Haryey P: NelsOn, assistant regional real estate manager. Main Post Office. Chicago 100. 111.

She added, "the postal facility will remain under private ownership while leased to the federal government." Congressman Hoffman also pointed out that Postmaster General Summerfield has indicated the need for modernization or replacement of a total of 12,000 of the nation's post offices because of lack of space and obsolescence. Girl Scouts After the Christmas vacation our troop held election of officers to serve for the rest of the "School year. Our new president 4s Kathy Beck; our vicepresident is Nancy Zahn; secretary and scribe is Linda Blake, and the treasurer is Danita Tomasello. At our regular meeting, we were divided into three patrols ' and the girls in each patrol elected a patrol leader and assistant leader as follows:"Patrol 1, leader, Elaine Wagner; assistant leader. Toni Amico; Patrol 2. leader, Linda Regner, assistant leader, Pamela Park-' hurst; Patrol 3, leader, Kathy Boone, assistant leader, Nancy Burg. We are all very busy working on various badges we have selected in our patrols, and also on some that we. are working on at home. We also are thinking and talking about what kind of an exhibit we should have for the Girl Scout Fair, which will be held in April at the American Legion home. Linda Blake, Scribe SCIENCE MUSEUM AGAIN EfeADS IN i960 ATTENDANCE ADVERTISING PAYS Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, which for the past five years has led all other museums throughout the world in annual attendance, had 2,547,231 visitors in 1959. A year previous the figure was 2,504,391. Indicative of its steadily growing popularity with students, tourists, vacationists and visitors from other sections of the country and abroad, its guests during the past twelve m o n t h s i n c l u d e d m o r e t h a n 7,500 organized tour parties, of which many came from foreign countries. Among its most notable foreign visitors were Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip of the British Commonwealth; Prime Minister Diefenbaker of Canada; King .Baudoin of Belgium; President Adoifo Lopez Mateos of Mexico; fio r m e r King Peter Qf Yugoslawa; and Ethiopia. Also prominent on its 1959 guest list were six Russian inspection par-ties, each * of which • visited the Museum under definite instructions frqm the Soviet government and for the definite purpose of studying specific phases of America's scientific and industrial progress. The student and other educational groups which kept arriving at the Museum throughout the school year by special j buses, trains, and in one instance by chartered plane, hailed from communities stretching from Ohio and Pennsylvani a t o t h e R o c k i e s a n d a s f a r south as Georgia. Directly reflecting this increasing trend of school authorities to use the Museum as a classroom supplement, it found it necessary late in 1959 to expand its school student dining facilities by more than 50 per cent and to enlarge its public parking areas so that they now can accommodate 1.250 automobiles or motor buses simultaneously. . In a review, of a report of the year's activities compiled by Daniel M. MacMaster, its irtirector. Major Lenox R. Lohr, •the Museum's president, a former McHenry resident, said: "With the great expansion of j our school population in the face of a serious teacher shortage. the Museum's educational facilities are becoming morel ^ind more important. This has .been accentuated by the increased public interest in science and technological progress. Almost every time some new scientific headline is featu »-pd by the newspapers or over our radio and TV media, visitor attendance at the Museum spurts. In line with this public awakening to the importance of science and its practical applications to o u r qveryday lives, the Museum in 1959 opened a number of new major exhibits. All were especially designed to show the layman in terms and ways he can readily understand just what is being achieved in the research laboratories and by our key industries. ^ v "Typical of this is the extensive collection of displays presented to the Museum in 1959 by the National - Science Foundation. They include practically all of the science exhibits shown by the United States Government at the Brus sels World Fair. "Equally attractive has been the new 'Human , Cell' exhibit which shows mankind's smallest living organism magnified more than a millidn times. The 'Magic of Motion' exhibit, built for the Nluseum by the University of Chicago, demonstrates that scientific education ^fo, r the average man and woman can not only" be made highly instructive but, at the same time entertaining. Designed to explain basic la,ws of physics, like those of Newton and Galileo, the units in the exhibit use such . non-technical -things as ordinary bowling balls and toy trains to drive home their deeply technical lessons. "At the same time, to increase the visitor's interest and make him a part of the presentations, practically all these new exhibits have cranks for him to turn, buttons to push, problems to solve, t and earphones that carry coftcise explanatory messages."

CREATE NEW PHONE ADMINISTRATIVE AREA IN COUNTY The booming population gains made in McHenry county and the increased demand for telephone service has caused Illinois Bell Telephone company to create a new administrative area in the county. Bob Zahn. Illinois Bell manager for Woodstock, will become manager for Crystal Lake and McHenfy. John Hoehn has been * named the company's manager for Woodstock, 4 Harvard, Marengo and Union. "The county has grown so much in the past several years that we have found it necessary to split'the area into two, so we can continue to give our customers the best possible service," said Zahn. He hat been manager here for the past four years. The split is effective immediately. Telephone customers, however, Zahn cautioned^ will not be affected directly. They will continue to use the same business offices and telephone numbers as previously. The Crystal Lake exchange will convert to dial service in August. At the same time, the company announced last vtfeek, a new numbering plan which features all numerals instead of a combination of letters and numbers will be introduced in Crystal Lake and Union.
