We already under way fir "the biggest and best Antique Auto Meet and show in the his- . Cory of the event" at the Illinois State Fair this '"year. Secretary Of State Charles F. ' Carpentier has announced. Mr. Carpentier Will be general manager of the tteet. one of the most popular features of the f^r. Four hundred old cars aie expected to be entered in the competition this year, the third year the show will be held in conjunction with the State Fair, .Secretary Carpentier said. Col- • "'lectors from seven states ejifered '227 cars at last year's Centennial Fair, bates for the Fair v > " this year . ^Aug. 14 through • * 3- : * : ; ' '«•' " The secretary's announcement • \Was prompted by the presentstion to him of ah "ancient" Uli- •* nois' auto license plate, believed | " ,.to be the oldest in existence, for j - -display at the show. Two Cham- I vpiaign men, B. J3. Wiese and Wil- ,A liam B. Hayes, Jr;, found the old v plate and brought it to the Secretary's office. Mr. Carpentier safd the plate was homemade, a procedure which was permitted in the, first three years Illinois licensed motor vehicles, 1907, 1908 and 1909. At that time, the state issued only a small metal tag, --- - and the registrant then made his owsrplates or had them made, he explained. In 1910, the state began issuing plates. iin/ This particular plate, No. 1094, was an upholstered job. A piece of white oilcloth Was folded and stuffed, then stitched to a heavy leather, backing. The number and "ILL" were lettered on the oilcloth. At the Antique Auto Meet and Show, as many cars as space will permit will be on permanent display dining the. ten days of the Fair. The remainder will arrive on the final Friday of the Fair, and all cars will be judged on Saturday and participated in a parade around the grandstand racetrack just before the start of the 100-mile A.A.A. APRIL 15 NAMED AS DEADLINE FOR 1953 LICENSES Secretary of State Charles F. Carpentier has announced that April 15 has been set as the -deadline for 1953 motor vehicle licensing, and that all police authorities have been notified to take appropriate action. Mr. Carpentier pointed oat that this allows a little rnore than a month for the owners of an estimated 850,000 vehicles still carrying 1952 license plates to comply with fhe law. All other states in the nation will be notified of the deadline, he said, and added that there will be- no extension. . In fairness to those 'who h4ve already obtained th£ir 1953 licenses, it is time to place a limit on the time allowed to submit applicationsy Mr., Carpentier said. '• ' The automobile department can handle applications on a" day to day basis now that the, heavy licensing period of the year is past. Secretary Carpentier said, and all plates applied for in the next thirty days will be in the hands of the applicants before the deadline. Mr. Carpentier pointed out that the May 1 deadline previously announced for payment of delinquent 1952 truck license fees still applies, but that truckers may obtain their 1953 license befbre payment of the delinquency. Twice Told Tales STATE APPOINTMENT Governor William G. Stratton has appointed Murrell S. Reak, of West Frankfort, as assistant director of the state Department of Mines and Minerals. He succeeds William J. Johnson of Springfield. The governor also reappointed Joseph K. McLaughlin as state Director of Aeronautics. . . face. Gars must be twenty-one years old to qualify for the Antique competition, ' fifteen to twenty years old in the classic class, while sports cars may be any age. . Secretary Carpentier announced that he has secured the services of Robert J. Ley of Chi- . cago and George C. Campbell of Highland Park, both well known -- in the antique auto field, to st- --f",™leCt a board of advisors fo*- the meet. Ley and Campbell will set • up a group representing all nnj t tique and sports car clubs to outline rules for the meet. Shaving was originally a protective measure since long beards were easy for opponents in combat to seize. Forty Years Ago • Easter vtogs in McHenry last Sunday were about as scarce as Hen's teeth. That horrid old weather man had to "butt" in with a heavy rain. As a result, the new spring lids were laid aside to be worn next Sunday,' weather .permitting. It is being rumored about town Aat the west side is to have, a restaurant. This is something that the village, especially the west side, has been in need of for some time and we/ believe the venture would be a paying one. Postmaster Mead has made a few improvements ac, the west side post office dunnij the past Week. The front end ha:? been enclosed to do. away with the nuisance of the public ^helping themselves to their mail. Most of the water has been let out of the pond. The Borden company does not believe i:V taking chances. It is a dead certainty there will be no flood from that source this spring. ffe" r is being rumored about town that application will be made for another saloon for McHenry this spring. Well, McHenry needs another saloon or two. „ • Peter Heimer has moved his family from the Rosen berger cottage on the east side to his father's place on the west side. Farmers shduld be very careful of their seed wheat this spring. Much of the wheat, we are told, <has Been soaked and bleached *%nd thereby ffltde worthless. i DO the people of McHenry want gas ? This is a question that will be put to them fairly and squarely and it remains entirely with us whether or not the mains will be extended to this village. The people of this village knfl surrounding country wefe given a slight idea of what a real hurricane, is like on Sunday night last, when one of the most solvere wind storms that has ever 'visited this section visited us. Family Autos Travel Abroad StOWed in the hold of giant passenger liners, the family auto set an all-time record in 1952 with 4,500 families shipping their car to nations abroad for vacation travel. Chas. M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club, stated that in addition to the 4,500 families heading Europe-ward with their own cars, additional thousands," for whom Motor clubs throughout the nation issued a total of nearly 15,000 international driving permits, toured Europe in cars rented, borrowed or purchased foe delivery in foreign lands. With Queen Elizabeth's coronation a big attraction this year, Hayes said that the club's International Travel department's January figures showed an 18 per cent gain over January, 1952> for car shipments abroad; a 386 per cent gain in car rentals, and a 3*1 per cent gain in applications for international driving permits. "If you are planning to tour abroad for six weeks or longer, it has generally been found to be most practical to take your own cat abroad," Hayes said. During the coronation especially, motorists will have an advantage in being able to stay outside the Greater London area iri a small, comfortable and uncrowded inn, and use their own car into and out of London. , International customs docu- DEEMS V DOES IT/ WATCH YOU'LL SEE THIS FUNNY LITTLE CHARACTER IN.THIS Newspaper SOON ! ments required for international motoring eliminate1 the need for depositing duty on an automobile at each* frontier. The cost for these documents ranges from $45 to $70, According to the countries visited. Motorists may shi. their cars abroad as accompanied baggage or as unaccompanied freight. The round-trip trans-Atlantic auto shipment rate for 'the average-. sized car, shipped as accompanied baggage, is about $400. Other costs-- international documents, automobile insurance on the continent, gasoline, oil and garaging (based on 100 miles a day), bring the tota' to about $740 for six to eight weeks. For example, a motor tour abroad covering 4,200 miles, for a party of four, comes to about 4% cents a mile, total car expense per person.

He further pointed out that road conditions are excellent throughout most of western Europe. Gasoline is unrationed, and the motorists can plan as comprehensive kn itinerary as he may d e s i r e t h r o u g h o u t W e s t e r n Europe. HIGHWAY PROGRAM Three major objectives of Governor William G. Stratton's highway program, as outlined in a Springfield address by Thomas H. Humphris, assistant director of the state Department of Public Works and Buildings, are: 1. The accelerated development of XJ.S, 66 into a modern fourlane highway from • Chicago to SJk Louis. 2. The spending of less road money on highway maintenance and more on rebuilding and modernizing the state's primary roads. 3. The possible building * of Some toll roaids to be paid for by revenue bonds which would be retired from toll revenues Hamburger is so called because it originated in Hamburg, G e r m a n y . . . ^ , .
