fy Jjlnuaryli, THE SENATOR SAYS l£r State McClory The principal legislative issue affecting our 52nd senatorial district of Lake, McHenry and Boone counties is'the issue of judicial redistricting.. This problem also involves Winnebago county, inasmuch as our 17th circuit court judicial district comprises Lake, McHenry, Boone and Winnebago counties. The combine^ populations of these Tour counties (the fastest growing area in the State) is estimated to exceed 500,000 persons. This increased population, as well as the extensive industrial growth in this area has meant more business for the courts, and has resulted in a backlog of pending cases, despite procedures adopted to speed up their disposition. MAGAZINE TOLD Publication of a new monthly magazine for 'teenagers t6 fee known as "Illinois History" has been announced by State Historian Clyde C. Walton. The new publication will contain articles, drawings, photographs, fnaps, quizzes and other features based on the history of the .state and aimed at an audience of more than a million young Illinoisans. ®Fo launch the magazine, 10,000 copies of the first issue are being sent to members of the Illinois State Historical society, newspaper editors, educators and librarians throughout the state with a request for their criticism and suggestions. The state historian said: "We hope to stimulate the interest of the young people of Illinois in the .story of their greatgreat- grandparents by giving them by the and other adult toriaiis as well as by the " ?8Each of the eight is&Ues pub-' lishid during the school year will have a central subject. The Jail* uary issue is the Black Hawk number and the articles are by Miss Underwood and Mrs. Ellen Whitney, of the Historical Library staff, a nationally recognized authority on the Black Hawk war. There are also contemporary eyewitness accounts of the war, excerpts from the autobiographies of Black Hawk and Illinois books about Black Hawk, plus articles by four young Illinoisans: Pat Danner, student at Abbott Junior High school, Elgin; Charles Flora, of Larsen Junior High school, also in Elgin; Judy Wilson, of Sterling Junior High school, and Paula Rowe, of Washington school, Dixon.

Accordingly, there is no way of securing relief except by redistricting. If, for instance the district should be divided into two separate districts, with three judges in each of the new districts, the total number of judges would be increased from four to six. The most natural division of the district is that which would establish Lake and McHenry counties as one judicial district, (with three judges) and Winnebago and Boone counties (also with three judges) as the other district. The Bar associations of the four affected counties should weigh the question at once, and the press and civic organizations - of this area should wield their influence for prompt and effective legislative action, if this is desired. Senator Robert Canfield of Rockford (Winnebago county) and the writer will handle any necessary legislation in the State, while Representatives A. B. Mc- Connell of Woodstock, W. J. Murphy of Antioch and Robert E. Coulson and Jack E. Bairstow of Waukegan will be relied upon to carry the ball in the House. The ancient adage "Justice delayed is justice denied," may be appropriately paraphrased "Legis- % lation delayed will mean justice denied." The question of whether to press for judicial redistricting is your state senator's main concern in Springfield today. •. lished for the Illinois State His- during the year torioal society by the Southern Illinois University Press of Carbondale. * "Illinois History" is the successor to the "Illinois Junior Historian" magazine which, under spon- j sorship of the State Historical so- j ciety, for the past ten years has! published material supplied entire- < ly by students of junior high I school age.
