BISTBS PLANS DISCUSSED FOR REVIVING COUNTY FAIR Siblican rule," he continued. inois was on the brink of bankruptcy when the Republicans were voted into the administration in 1941, Governor Green asserted. "We established a new regime of efficiency and economy under which, despite the handicaps of war, every essential state service was maintained and expanded, while the state's finances wen Mm sound," he laid. The Governor pointed out that Illinois citiaens are paying less taxes per person than the people of most other states. "Be total taxes collected by Illinois te the year ending June 80, 1948, wating to the United States Cehaei&jNreau figures, averaged $48.76 jtegdMrson," he said. "Illinois rankM ttn9>Afth among all the states. Hie elate of Washingten collected ISO put person; California, f8S; Michigan, $70, and New York, |68. The national average was S6S.18." The governor contrasted the $4&76 average tax collections from Illinois ckisens with the United States treasury report Which shows that for the year ending June 30, 1948, Illinois citiiens paid an average of |461 in federal taxes. Governor Gtreen predicted ,that Republican victories in November will prove that the people are united in their determination to preserve our peace and liberties.

As much as we like to consider ourselves modern, there is something about recollections of the past that rings a nostalgic note and leaves us with the wish to return occasionally to some of the event* which made life pleasant for grandpa and grandma. Perhaps it is the new styles so much like those of a long past era, or maybe it is only reminiscence, but st any rate, there are people in McHenry county who have come up with the idea of reviving the old county fair. Plans for the undertaking are being' left to the county 4-H clubs and the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce, who have named a committee ta discuss the matter further and oecide definitely as to procedure. After a long and colorful history, the McHenry county fair went opt of existence about twenty-five years ago. It started as the eld McHenry County Agricultural society, organized in 1862, later changing its name to the Agricultural 'Board of McHenry cotinty. For several yearsHhis organisation held its fairs in the the streets of various villages of the county. Rail pens were erected for the purpose of housing the livestock, and rooms rented for exhibits. By 1859 the society had grown to such an extent that it purchased ten acres of land which later became the fairgrounda, east of Woodstock. New buildings were erected and a life membership set up, the fee being $20. About 100 persons became members, which made it possible for the society to purchase more land and make a half mile race track. As a result, one of the finest fairs in the state of Illinois became a reality. More improvements were made to the extent of $10,000 between 1905 and 1910. After the fair went out of existence twenty-five years ago, the buildings,, including the old agricultural hall and the manufacturers' building, were left vacant. However, a few years ago the board of supervisors requested thst the buildings should be torn down and part of the property be used to house county road machinery. Ltst year the 4-H club® asked to lease the fair grounds to hold their agriculture fair. The 4-H organization leased the premises for ninety-nine years and already have one building erected. INTERESTING BUSINESS DISCUSSED AT LAST MEETING OF LEGION The regular Legion meeting was held on Monday evening. Oct 11. 3 o'clock on Thursday afternoon, following a pep meeting. With little time to recover completely from this excitement, a huge bonfire, will attract a large crowd to the vacant lots on Elm street, across from the International Harvester plant, on Thursday evening. Here, cheerleaders will lead the group in victory cheers and several prominent citizens will be on hand with pep speeches. One of the most anticipated parts of the bonfire celebration will be the announcement of the senior boy and girl who were selected as king and queen of homecoming by the student body on Wednesday of this week. Candidates chroen by the Junior and student class officers for these honors were Pstricia "Gilmore, Adeline Golbeck and Marita Williams for queen, and Mark Hopkins, Leslie 01- sen and Willo McCulla for king. The Friday night game will be followed by a dance in the high school gymnasium, to which all alumni, parents and friends sre invited. It will be a memorable occasion which the public will not want to miss. Members of the Kiwanis club will be among those present Friday night to dispose of the few remaining tickets for the Nov. 8 banquet for the football squad.

The Warriors of '48 lack the size to measure up to the teams McHenry followers have been accustomed to watching in the past few yean. Size is lacking in both the line and in the backfield. However, the' team has looked better in each game and has « the determination to swing into the ^ victory column. McHenry traveled to Grant for their first game of the season and ' wound up in a tie. This was a nonconference game and served to stew r the strength and weaknesses to watch i as the season progressed. Delavan came to town with a fast ; charging, hard-running team that i proved too strong. Next came Whitewater with a large, ^ powerful squad that could not be j checked.
