Woodstock Man Heads Drive For Merit Judge Selection McHenry Nunda Library Trustees At Workshop Louise Hipwell, president of the Board of Trustees and Karen Johanson, secretary, took part in the 500+ workshop for library trustees held Sept. 29 and 30, at Rockford. This workshop was designed for and by trustees and implemented by the Illinois Library Trustees Association of the Illinois Library Association. Funding was provided for by a federal LSCA agent from the Illinois State Library. The purpose of the workshop was to provide library trustees with increased leadership skills and gover­ nance information. The time frame was designed so that trustees, who are not com­ pensated for library con­ tributions and who usually have fulltime occupations, would be able to attend. The annual book sale will be held Oct. 28th, 11 to 4, and during regular library hours Oct. 31, Nov.2,3 and 4. Featured will be books from the early years of 1900, plus donated materials and duplicates from the library shelves.

Ladd, of Wood­ stock, was named today to co- chair an intensive drive in a push for merit selection of judges in Illinois. Ladd, a Republican, and Democrat Chester T. Kamin, of Chicago, were appointed to co- chair the bi-partisan effort by the Committee on Courts and Justice. "We have targeted key legislative districts and initiated a huge communication program to educate the public," Ladd said. "We plan to demonstrate to the legislators that there is strong, solid support for merit selection in their home districts." The Committee hopes to obtain approval from both Houses of the Illinois Legislature of a Constitutional Amendment to establish merit selection of judges. They are aiming for a favorable vote by the end of the 1979 Legislative session so that the measure will appear on the general election ballot in 1980 Ladd, of 8219 Cyrstal Springs Road, Woodstock, is an at­ torney with the firm of Ross, Hardies, O'Keefe, Babcok and Parsons. He was a delegate to the 1969 Illinois Constitutional Convention and served as manager of George W. Lind- berg's successful 1972 cam­ paign for Comptroller of Illinois. Last year, the Committee proposed a Constitutional Amendment for merit selection of judges which was supported by Governor Thompson and a coalition of Republican and Democratic legislators. Gubernatorial candidate Michael Bakalis also supported the effort. Surprisingly, the proposal was passed by the House Executive Committee, usually controlled by the C h i c a g o D e m o c r a t i c Organization, which opposes merit selection.

"Last year, the battle took place in the Capitol", Ladd said. "Citizens were not organized to meet with legislators in their home of­ fices. Thus legislators voted with their buddies in the House and did not worry about pressure from their con­ stituents." "There is substantial support for merit selection throughout the state," he added. "The citizens committees will give legislators a reason to vote for merit selection. Bacon's Good Lock Bacon is more than a good food, some people think it brings good luck, says the Na­ tional Live Stock and Meat Board. A very old custom in parts of the British Isles calls for the bride and groom to eat a slice of bacon on their wed­ ding day to prevent any un- happiness for one year.
