In his middle years he lent his financial genius to the dire needs of the new government. As a member of the-Continental Congress, a signer of the Declatation of Indepen­ dence, Superintendent of Finance, Morris played a dominant role in establish­ ing the United States Mint. More than one of his ideas was incorporated in the coinage system. . .it was he and his staff that came up with the word "dime" (disme) to designate the coin that was to be one- tenth of a dollar. His ingenuity in rais­ ing arms and supplies and in bolstering the faltering credit of the Continental Congress, often using his personal fortune as secur­ ity, deservedly yarned him the title "Financier of the American Revolution". Morris could have been the first Secretary of Treasury but when offered the post by George Washington, he declined. Ultimately the appointment was accepted by Alexander Hamilton. Ironically, Robert Mor­ ris, pictured and honored on the $10 bill of 1878, the man who guided the new Republic through its' worst financial storms, suffered his own personal financial destruction in the late years of life. . .speculating in Western lands, he went bankrupt and spent three years in debtor's prison. Released in 1802, he died penniless in 1806. Whether you are interested in saving money. . .or bor­ rowing, you'll find FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY most accommodating!

Whatever the merger did for stockholders'/customers or the economuf it left most of the executives of one of the corporatioris\)ut of work. Then and there, an idea was born. What happens to peo­ ple in the midst of success­ ful, promising careers who suddenly find themselves out on the street? The unem­ ployed executives in Boston started their own employ­ ment agency, and called it "40-Plus." Not only did they help each other find jobs, BIRTHS MCHENRY HOSPITAL Mr. and Mrs. William Lavin, Spring Grove, are parents of a daughter, July 21.

The idea has taken root and flourished in some 25 other places around the world. Few 40-Plus organi­ zations are more buoyant and active than the one in Washington, D.C., which currently has 120 active members (unemployed, look­ ing for a job) and 29 asso­ ciate members (employed but willing to try something new). The Washington club has been in business for 22 years. Because of the unique career pattern in Washington (civilian government, mili­ tary, government contractors, private enterprise and for­ eign missions), members of 40-Plus there tend to be an odd assortment. Recently, for instance, an odd request came along the grapevine that alerts members to job opportunities. A company was looking for somebody fluent in French with experi­ ence in the petroleum indus­ try to teach in a technical school in Algeria. With a flip of its file cards, 40-Plus turned up a recently-retired State Department official who was unhappy about be­ ing put out to pasture at what he considered a ripe young age, spoke perfect French and had spent most of his government years working with the petroleum industry. Not the kind of employee- job match you'd expect to come up with, say, in Oma­ ha, Nebraska, but almost a streetcorner possibility in Washington. • The members of 40-Plus are living, eager testimony that most Americans look forward to challenging op­ portunity, not snoozing in the sun, when they pass the midpoint of their lives. Not surprisingly, many of them are eager to break away from their past careers and get into something new. Take Matthew Mautz, for instance, who is 59 years old and looks back on a busy career mostly in the armed forces, where his specialties ; KEITH WEIDEMILLER IRENE KUHLINS ENGAGED - Mr. and Mrs. Erich Kuhlins of 5113 Westwood drive, McHenry, announce the engagement of their daughter, Irene Kuhlins, to Keith Weidemiller, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Weidemiller of Chicago. The young people have set July 24,1976, as their wedding day. Schlesser chose a pink floor length dress with matching floral jacket. A reception for 250 guests was held »in the garden of the Curran home. The first home for the bridal pair will be at 407 W. Vernon avenue, Apt. 205, Normal, 111. 61761. ~ | Both young people graduated from Illinois State University Normal. Kathleen majored in Business Education while James majored in Mathematics. He is now pur­ suing his Master's Degree in Accounting: Kathleen is em­ ployed as a secretary for the Illinois Agriculture association. were communications and training. He's concerned now about the lack of high- quality vocational education in this country, and eager to find an opportunity to use his experience to do something about it. Or Jim Strother, who went straight from Texas A & M to the Army Signal Corps in 1940. "The very next year, radar came along," he re­ members, "and I became an expert in that." Later it was nuclear weapons, and the Army sent hirfNto Ijy Uni- versity of Texas Jovget a mas­ ter's degree in electrical engineering so he could be a midwife to the atomic age. By the 1950's, the Air Force needed good research and development people and he added another specialty. Be­ fore he retired from the armed forces, Jim was busy learning all about satellite communications. Now, he's eager to get back into some­ thing, and looking back at his career so far, it doesn't much matter what. Name it and he's probably been near il- Forty-Plus^isn't a casual organization that hangs out in people's garages. It has a spartan suite of offices in downtown Washington, D.C. Active members pledge one day a week of their time to keep the enterprise running, and serve on committees that help jobhunting members prepare resumes, perform well at job interviews, and sniff out employment oppor­ tunities. At 40-Plus, career changes aren't exceptional, they're the rule. But mem­ bers still shake their heads in wonder at what happened to Francis McGovern, who spent most of his life as a telecommunications expert. Out of a job, he joined 40- Plus and was put on a com­ mittee that worked to help active members market their career experience effectively. He did so weU* ai it that now he has a nevjob -- in em­ ployment c^Unst^ing. CONGRESSIONAL View of a Crime: Congressman J. J. Pickle of Texas, after studying the National Council on the Aging-Louis Harris survey on public atti­ tudes toward older people, said in a speech in his home state; "The national crime in our treatment of our citi­ zens over 65 is not so much that they are lonely and physically neglected. The national crime is that we do not use their potential." F E D E R A L Act Has Teeth --Under the U.S. Age Discrimination in Em­ ployment Act, the Depart­ ment of Labor has filed a $20 million suit against a single railroad system, challenging its mandatory retirement policy. The workers involved disagree with the railroad's policy of retiring^ people at age 62. Why 62 or any other specified age? jft.
