Marty Geisheimer of the Mea­ dow Larks still leads the pack with a 173.5 average. All of which is of no great sig­ nificance except that this is a senior league of 40 members most of whom are over 60 years old, many are wellintheir 70's, in fact the oldest as far as we know is Otto Giese who boasts 83 years of age and carries an average of 142.12.

COUNTY AID CASELOAD FOR JULY RELEASED A total of 543,955 persons were on Illinois public aid rolls in July. This was an increase of 3,430 over the previous month and 54,000 more than a year ago. Public Aid Director Harold O. Swank said that increases in old age assistance, disabil­ ity assistance and general as­ sistance more than offset de­ creases in blind assistance and aid to dependent children.

Current expenditures in­ clude $858,010 in payments for foster care, aid to the med­ ically indigent in Chicago and Cicero, and burials. The July caseload included 410,607 persons on assistance to the aged, blind or disabled and aid to dependent children receiving money grants and eligible for medical care; 62,- 152 eligible for medical as­ sistance only, and 71,196 on general assistance. Respective figures for June were 410,147, 62,713 and 67,665; for July 1968, 368,007, 53,916 and 68,- 032. The McHenry county case­ load was as follows: Total, all programs, 887, $81,223; old age assistance, 185, $30,569; aid to dependent children, 491, $29,- 649; blind assistance, 3, $423; disability assistance, 95, $18,- 048; and general assistance, 113, $2,534.

Olson, director of the Bur­ eau's regional office in Chi­ cago. The survey is part of a na­ tion-wide effort to gather in­ formation used to guide fed­ eral agencies and other groups in developing programs based on consumer spending patterns. A sample of residents in this area will be asked if they ex­ pect to buy a house, car, or major appliance during the next year and if they have made re­ cent purchases of these items. Homeowners will be asked about home improvements and re­ pairs during the last three months and any planned for the future. In the most recent survey of the series, taken in July, families in the U.S. indicated that their plans to buy new cars were about the same as they had been a year earlier; but. that expectations to buy houses were off sharply from a year earlier. The survey also showed a continued high level of expenditures for household durables. Households in the sample to be surveyed are not identified. All answers are kept con­ fidential by law, and informa­ tion obtained will be published only as statistical totals. WED. OCT. 15, 1969 PLAINDEALER - PG. 7 94 YEARS LATER The first legislation signed in the former governor's of­ fice in the Old State Capitol Building in over 94 years was signed by Gov. Richard B. Ogil- vie. In ceremonies honoring the donors to the Old State Cap­ itol Restoration Fund, Gov. Ogilvie signed SB 848 which created the Illinois Special E- vents commission. The com­ mission is responsible for the commemoration and celebra­ tion of anniversaries and spec­ ial events of significance to the state. The last bills signed into law in the Old State Capitol were enacted by republican governor John L. Beveridge on April 19, 1875. One provided fines for the sale of fradulent railroad tickets. The other ap­ propriated funds for the State Hospital for the Insane at Jack­ sonville, Counting compensation, medical expenses and lost pro­ duction, eye injuries cost in­ dustry over $200,000,000 a year. In terms of suffering, these tragedies can never be measured according to the Ill­ inois Society for the Prevention of Blindness.
