PG. 4 - PLAINDEALER FRI. MAY 23, 1969 League In Its Fiftieth Year (Continued from page 1) wishes to the organization. A presidential proclamation honoring the League's fifty years of service to the nation in working for active informed participation in government was read when leaders of the League of Women Voters and prominent business, industry and government officials were received at the White House by President and Mrs. Nixon recently. A surprise speaker in the East room was John Gard- * ner, Urban Coalition president and chairman of the League's fiftieth anniversary sponsors committee. When called upon by the President, Mr. Gardner commented*' ...they (the League) combine deep motivation and concern for their country with deep concern for the machinery of the democratic process, and unless you link those two, we are not going to make it." " We are proud to be included in such a distinguished history," said Mrs. Daniel Weisz, president of the League of Women Voters of Woodstock - McHenry. She pointed out that although the League was founded to help women become informed voters, it was soon helping men as well, and was supporting specific issues as well as providing non-partisan information to voters. Today the League has over 150,000 members and is probably the country's leading citizen organization for political education and activity. Its members support equality of education, housing and employment, conservation of water resources, aid to underdeveloped countries, the United Nations and increased trade. They are studying Mainland China and Electoral college. Li addition, Leagues work for such things as city charters, constitutional revisions and judicial reform and for facilities such as hospitals, schools and libraries, in their own states and communities. "We support issues; but never candidates," said Mrs. Weisz. "It was gratifying to have President Nixon list so many areas where our nonpartisanship can be of use." Among the items mentioned by the President as needing League involvement were "peace in the world", "making our cities more livable, not only in terms of the enforcement of law and safety in our streets, but also in terms of the total environment*', "holding down the cost of living and taxes", and "how to progress to the kind of life we want". He congratulated the League for approaching problems "..onthe basis of facts, of what the best interests of the nation may be", and for encouraging members to participate in ttje parties of their choice. The League of Women Voters of Woodstock-Mc Henry has been active since 1947, but the idea far the League of Women Voters was suggested by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt in March, 1919, six months before woman suffrage was achieved. Mrs. Catt was president of National Woman Suffrage association, which dissolved when women got the vote in February, 1920. She was honorary president of the League until her death at 88 in 1947. In honor of the anniversary, a history of the local League is being prepared by Mrs. William Fyfe, a founder and first president ; of the Woodstock-McHenry League, Mrs. James Miyashiro, a long time member and past president, and Mrs. Weisz. An updated version of the "Know Your Town" booklet is planned for later in the year. Highlight of the League's fiftieth year is an eleven-million dollar fund-raising campaign to expand its services and activities'on all levels.

Elm St. McHenry, III. 60050 Agents Outline Catastrophe Plan Here (Continued from page 1) ance men's group. Major step forward has developed with agreement by major non-bureau and direct writing companies to cooperate with any program evolved by the Independent Insurance Agents in unison with the sherifPs department, state police and civil defense director. All three of those organizations earlier gave their en- : couragement to the Independent Insurance Agents members to prepare helpful service at a disaster site should a tornado, airline crash, fire of some other major catastrophe strike in McHenry county. "Now the job to move forward with this program falls on the shoulders of members in each community," Low said today. "To implement this orderly program in a community, it is necessary to have approval and cooperation of local officials. This means the mayor or village president, fire department leaders, civil defense director for the town, and any others that would be involved should a catastrophe hit. " Members of the county association and other cooperating insurance men can't come to a community and do a good job if local members haven't paved the way with localized endorsement." A building to serve as a des-, ignated central insurance office should be determined for each community. Idea of the catastrophe plan envisioned by the independent insurance men is to have members from the county at the disaster site -- qualified people who can provide sound information after a disaster on subjects that include insurance and other pertinent data. Said Low: M We will act as a clearing house for information. .We^will be at the catastrophe f headquarters to provide sound, I accurate information. A colored tag system will be developed to control persons going into an area." " Sheriff John Carroll, A1 Querhammer, McHenry county civil defense director, and Capt. Harold Crockett, District 2, Illinois State Police, met with the Independent Insurance Agents in December and encouraged establishment of this plan. The civii defense director is the coordinating person who knows "where to find what" at a time of a catastrophe. The sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer and is charged with public safety. The insurance men's role will be to aid those officials by helping persons who have suffered damage or losses, by providing accurate information so that misinformation isn't disseminated through an organized effort, and to guide people on what to do in event property has been damaged. Claims work is only a part of this responsibility, Low said. City officials and civil defense persons in local communities are invited to contact Low. at McHenry for added details concerning their town.
