y ii »i rnmriii nnaattmnmrB ye irmtr IN THE CAPITOL 3 by John B. (Jack) Hill Kepmwntativi*. 33rd District1 Greetings from the Capitol city of Springfield! This is your State Rpcpresentative, "Jack" Hill. In response to many queries, "Whats' going on down therfe"?", and "Don't you have somfe inside information?", I have decided to communicate to th£ peoples of the 33rd, comprised of five counties, McHenry,. Boone, Kendall, DeKalb SESQUICENTENNIAL MEETING REVIEWS WORK THIS YEAR The second meetings-regarding the Illinois Sesquicentennial was held on April 12 at 8 p.m. in the supervisor's room, Court House Annex, Woodstock. Supervisor Edwin J, Buckley opened the meeting with a welcome to those present and then introduced J. P. "Jack" Leland from the Illinois Sesquicentennial commission. Mr. Buckley reviewed the last meeting, particularly regarding forming the organization on April 18, 1966, at the University of Illinois. At this time Gov. Kerner reviewed the history of Illinois and appointed a full Sesquicentennial commission hfeaded by Ralph G. Newman.. The commi ssion decided to have 150 different groups participate, these being 102 counties and forty-eight major cities in Illinois. In counties as McHenry county, the board of supervisors wfcs delegated to handle the project. -From the board of supervisors, Ectyvin J. Buckley, George Wfatson Lowe, Thomas H. Huemann, Howard E. Vogel and Hbrold Freese, members of the Education and Public Relations committee, were named to the Illinois Sesquicentennial Committee. ;^he Sesquicentennial willbegfiion Dec. 4, 1967, and end ofjbec. 3, 1968. :>The meeting was then turned ovtir to Mr. Leland of the state qj^ce, who explained what this bjithday party is about. Mr. Leland said "the state of Illir& s is 150 years old and we and Kane via this column. We passed, in the House, a series of bills and have sent them to the upper house, the Senate, for their consideration.. An important one, aimed at open housing, is in for a lot of trouble, I'm convinced, and it was designed to bring about the designation of good and fair restrictions, and end the discrimination in the sale and rentals of dwellings in Illinois. -In some degrees, it was patterned after laws already in effect in some eastern states. Coordinating the monetary assistance from the federal government has always needed some assistance, and one such, to establish an office of coordinator to assist in programs and expenses and facilities is now in the mill. Some legislators feel there should be some "teethy" laws to protect womanhood. One such offering sends the violator to the operating table -no longer will he be physically able to repeat his crime. The victims would be rewarded with $10,000 - $20,000 if pregnancy occurred. One member, who is sponsoring legalized bingo in the State of Illinois, had cards printed, stating, "keep grandma and her friends off the streets at night...legalize bingo". There are states that propagate bingo for worthy causes, say millions of dollars now find their way into the treasury...might work! Capitol punishment is getting a working over again. ft failed last session, and looks like it will suffer the same fate in the 75th G. A. Proponents say it deters killings, and the exponents say otherwise. Registering firearms is coming up for lengthy discussion, too. The "stop and frisk" law looks like it'll go through. This gives police officers the right to search anyone who acts suspiciously. One thing that brings me upright is mention of "air and water pollution". In a series of hearings, the Air Pollution Control board has made some recommendations on the control •- of Public Instruction, the State Treasurer and the Auditor of Public Accounts will be abolished to the status of appointment offices, instead of elective, but it's hardly likely. The House moved a bill to the Senate in an effort to bring the Illinois Youth commission to departmental status. The commission now oversees some 5,000 young people by commitment of the courts as delinquents, aiujl hires some 1,600 people to do it. ' The Senate sent us a bill last week in which attorneys would be commissioned notary publics for the fee of $5... lifetime. Somefi* of our wits broadened it with the purpose in mind that '.'it would be so ridiculous that it wouldn't pass"..so they added categories of bartenders, truck drivers, precinct committeemen, reporters., and... "Go Go" Girls. A legislative inquiry is being activated to look into the matter of "slush funds", and IHSA, ticket and conduct matters, It's old news now, but some coaches over at the University of Illinois got fired over it. Questions were asked, "are we any guiltier than others?", and "who started it, - and how far has it gone, including to other institutions of learning in other members of the conference"? Putting'more people in the exhibition hall in Urbana is like crowding a quart of water into a pint jar. CANCER REPORT APR. 27, 1967 - PLAINDEALER - SEC. 2, PG.

Air mail letters to Central America and the Caribbean area will be increased from 13 cents per half ounce to 15 cents. Airmail to the rest of the Western Hemisphere will remain at 15 cents per half ounce, except for Canada and Mexico, which is 8 cents per ounce. Airmail to Europe and Mediterranean Africa will be increased from 15 cents per half ounce to 20 cents. Airmail letters to the rest of the world will remain unchanged at 25 cents per half ounce. Aerogrammes and air post cards will be 13 cents. Letters at surface transportation will be increased from 11 cents to 13 cents, post cards to 9 cents. Surface parcel post rates to all nations will have a 7 percent increase. Postage rates for first class and air letters to Canada and Mexico are not being changed. The increase will not apply to mailings for members of the armed forces overseas. Domestic postage rates are applicable to mail addressed through APO's araf FPO's. The United States Post Office department is in for a major overhaul. After many years of, congressional and bureaucratic study and analysis, the government is finally admitting its inability to render efficient postal service. While the Republicans were still preparing legislation to remove the Post Office department from partisan poN ~ itics, the astute Postmaster General-- Larry O'Brien -- surprised the nation with apian to turn over the postal service to a federally chartered nonprofit corporation. This could mean an increase in rates to defray the cost of providing an efficient postal service. It would certainly mean adoption of modern techniques and merit employment practices, upon which any efficient business operation depends. "Patronage" appointments of postmasters and many other postal employees have plagued the Congress for many years. A Republican measure to require merit selection of postmasters has progressed through the United States Senate and is now at the passage stage in the House of Representatives. This action preceded the surprise announcement by the Postmaster General proposing the liquidation of his entire department. In*- connection with his program for overhauling the mail service, Mr. O'Brien has recommended the replacement of the entire postal department by the government sponsored non-profit corporation. This would include his own demise as a cabinet officer. Apparently the Administration is unwilling to go quite as far as retired Admiral Ben Moreell had proposed seven years ago. Admiral Moreell, chairman of the Board of Americans for Constitutional Action, contended that private enterprise could handle our nation's mail service more efficiently and more economically than a public corporation. But the probability Qf giving such a chance to private enterprise appears quite remote. From Washington President Johnson has named a ten-member commission to study and report on the best way to handle the dilemma in which our postal service finds itself. Headed by Frederick R. Kappel, former chairman of America Telephone and Telegraph company, the commission is expected to make farreaching recommendations. These findings will surely include the removal of the postal service from politics for all 4ime--as well as the removal of the Postmaster General-- the Democrats'top "politician" --Larry O'Brien. i i ITEM: When buying a dress, consider your size, figure and personality.
