PigeElgM THE McHENHY x -i DEMOCRATIC SLATE RULED OUT AMID LOUD PROTESTS (Continued from Page 1) testimony included the statement of a witness that John McCafferty of Wonder Lake had entered the place of business of Town Clerk Anderson to file the petition before midnight on the deadline date for filing. In view of the evidence, the board ruled in favor of tne candidates and continued the hearing on the other two counts until the first of the week. Monday afternoon found the court room filled again with spectators, many of whom hao gained considerable interest in ,the case in view of the excitement of the previous hearing. This time, Mr. Hanahan spoke for the candidates, and two lawyers were present to :plead the case of the objectors. On the third count concerning the date of official publication announcing the caucus, Mrs. Willard Schultz of Mc- Cullom Lake, speaking for the defending group, said the tenth *lay prior to the caucus was a Sunday, and for this reason it ^vas impossible to have the notice in a county paper that day. Her testimony was later found ,to be unnecessary, however, £or the electoral board never ruled on this third count. « Fail to Comply ? Objectors charged that the jgroup representing the Democratic party failed to comply \vith the Illinois Statute i n failing to notify all Democratic precinct committeemen in the township prior to the caucus. The two who were not notified Were the objectors, Lawrence Huck and Lynn Stuart. Backers of the candidates said they liad not done so because the two had expressed themselves •as opposed to a party caucus. I State Senatorial Committeeman John Petit of Meadowdale asked for the floor to say a lew words after the testimony and before the ruling by the board, but Hanahan was on his feet at once to make an objection, which was sustained. I Verbal arguments followed the board's decision, and in one case the argument was so heated that a fight ensued in which the clothing of at least two people was torn and it was necessary for a deputy to separate the squabblers. t The hearing gave rise to action taken at the regular monthly meeting of the Democratic county committee, held Tuesday evening of this week in the court house. Chairman Giblin announced that he was withdrawing the appointments of William Bolger and Lestei Bacon as precinct captains in the second precinct. They had been appointed after the resignation of the committeeman, Henry Jackson. On a motion by McCafferty, seconded by Mrs. Schultz, the committeemen voted (according to the number of votes in (heir various precincts in the last primary) in favor of asking for the resignation of Committeemen Huck and Stuart No action was taken by the letter during the meeting. . One thing is certain, there is interest and enthusiasm amon^ Democratic party members 1: McHenry township. Jaycees Aid Postal Program The McHenry Junior Chamber of Commerce is now organizing a project to coincide with the new postal re-addressing program. The project entails the sale and installation of attractive house numbers to home owners throughout the McHenry mailing area. Proceeds from the sale of the numbers will be put to use in the financing of variout. youth activities and civic projects in the future. On or near Mayel. the proposed target date of the readdressing program, teams of Jaycees will be dispatched into all local areas, not only to sell house numbers, but to install them on the spot as well, thus saving the home owners all bother brought about by the necessary numbering change. Complete price for the service will be nominal. Jaycee members working on the project will be identified by an easily recognizable emblem, in order to assure local residents that the person calling on them is a member of this fine civic group. THREE-WAY MAYOR RACE DEVELOPS IN CITY THIS SPRING (Continued from Page 1) Pistakee Bay, whose term expires and who seeks reelection, and from Roy Kissling of Allen avenue, who makes a bid for a seat on the board for the first time. Henry Nell, Jr., filed toward mid-week. There will be four polling places at the grade school election. The high school board, District 156, is also due for at least one change in membership with the decision of George Hiller of Johnsburg not to seek re-election. He has been a member of the board for many years. Petitions have been filed by Donald Howard of John street, the present secretary, and H. Ralph Bennett, president, and by Carl Neiss of Johnsburg, who hopes to replace Mr. Hiller. There will be seven polling places for the high school elections. All terms run for three years. The filing deadline in both districts opened Feb. 22 and will close March 18. The election is scheduled for Saturday, April 8. Township Filings Because a large area south and east of McHenry is part of Nunda township, there is interest in the recent caucus of the Republican party ticket there. The following were nameo as candidates at the • caucus: Robert E. Foster, Jr., of Crystal Lake for supervisor; Charles Humphrey of Crystal Lake for assistant supervisor; Herbert F. Clausen of McHenry Shores for assessor; Alfred Roth of Crystal Lake for clerk; Norman Wilbrandt and Harold Freese of Crystal Lake ana Gordon Swanson of Porten's subdivision for members of the board of auditors. Plan Report Highlights (Continued from Page 1) provements will endure. After all of these requirements are met, the final plat for the subdivision would be submitted to the city, subsequently reviewed by the Plan Commission, engineer and the mayor and City Council, ana approved if it is in strict conformity with the approved preliminary plat. Although not specifically provided in the ordinance, the city still has the right to request an assessor's plat of any area which has not been created under this ordinance or is not a recorded subdivision piat. Planners feel an ordinance cannot be prepared which can foresee all of the various conditions existing in the preparation of a subdivision. Therefore, the normal provision for allowing variations has been included, where the variation would not be detrimental to the public good or would not impair the intent or purpose of the subdivision regulations. In the portion of the report dealing with requirements and general design principles for the layout, the ordinance makes provision that where there is a conflict between the subdivision and other ordinance or county regulations, the more restrictive shall apply. MAYOR LOOKS TO COMPLETION OF HOSPITAL MAY 1 Musin' & Meajiderin' (Continued from Page 1) (Continued from Page 1) to make this civic investment of a lifetime. Of the many worthwhile causes and institutions deserving of support, a hospital stands out as having proven its worth many times over. In years to come, our children and even our grandchildren will point with pride to names of parents and grandparents who helped make McHenry hospital possible." The chairman continued, "However, we can't relax and decide that the hospital is all taken care of. McHenry hospital needs the public's help as much as ever. The building will be completed with borrowed money, but the public is being asked for additional funds to furnish and equip the hospital." "Each resident, businessman and industry should feel a responsibility in helping to finish the job of equipping and furnishing the hospital, thereby making it one of the best hospitals of its size in the state", concluded Mayor Freund. DR. SANDEL TO ADDRESS AREA DENTAL SOCIETY jpeaker on Sullivan Night As might be expected, it was a night of memories for all who attended, but most of all for George himself. It must have occurred to him that time has great value in erasing the unhappy struggles so often necessary to accomplish a cause. Many years later, as he sat amidst the large gathering of friends, even the unhappy times must have seemed worthwhile in view of the end results. In addition to a life membership, George was presented with $175, a contribution from yarious organizations in the community to start a fund he had hoped would materialize throughout the country to make a memorial of the battleship Arizona, which still lies under water at Pearl Harbor. A Woodstock lad, Thomas Lounsbury, was aboard the ship at the time of the attack. George is the brother of Colleague Marie Yegge, who was understandably proud as 'she attended the program.

' JURY RETURNS VERDICT A coroner's jury returned a verdict of accidental death due to internal injuries sustairted in an auto accident on Feb. 44, taking the life of Henry De- Young of McHenry. --. • ,c CLEAN STREAMS MEETING The regular monthly meeting of the McHenry County Clean Streams group will be held at the city hall March' 7 at 8 p.m. The Senator Says By State Senator Robert. McClory It is particularly appropriate this month to call attention to the most famous member of the Illinois General Assembly of all-times -- Abraham Lincoln. The late Rep. Abraham Lincoln of New Salem served in the 9th through the 12th General Assemblies, (we are now holding the 72nd) from 1834 to March I, 1841. In these days of Lincoln Day speeches, news articles and special events commemorating Abraham Lincoln's birth, we read and hear of Lincoln -- the President, Lincoln -- the soldier, and Lincoln -- the lawyer. But rarely do we hear or read of Lincoln, the state representative from New Salem. Yet, this was Abraham Lincoln's first important political office. His successful election in 1834 came only after he had suffered defeat in seeking the same office in 1832. But Lincoln's style of campaigning was bound to bring success to this young Whig. For, it is repbrted that Lincoln met many of the voters face to face, including the farmers Sangamdn county with whom he pitched hay and cradled wneat in the fields as he campaigned. He closed his 1832 catiiptfgjh (which he lost) with a spe&jh at the Sangamon county co^H! House in Springfield. The state capitol in those days was Vandalia. After Lincoln's successful campaign in 1834, he travelled by stage coach from New Salem to Vandalia to attend the session of the General Assembly. State Rep. Lincoln was just 25 years old when first be took his seat with the other fifty-three House members on Dec. 1, 1834. Lincoln was not then a lawyer. Rather, he was the postmaster of New Salem and deputy county surveyor. More than half of his colleagues in the House were farmers, about one-fourth lawyers. Of the fifty-four House members, thirty-five -- including Lincoln -- were first-termfers. j One of Lincoln's principal A d v a n t a g e s w a s t h a t h e roomed, in Vandalia, with Representative John T. Stuart, a distinguished lawyer who was the leader of the Whig minority. Most of the Whig caucuses were held in the room occupied by Stuart and Lincoln, and RELEASED ON BOND Winfred Rogers, 33, of Qrystal Lake, charged with the murder of David Gilliland of Lake-in-the Hills on Jan. 10, has been released on bond. Judge William M. Carroll will hear arguments March 3 on a motion to quash indictments Against him. PROBATION REFUSED Probation was refused last Thursday in county court by Judge James Cooney to Richard A. Nelson, 32, of Richmond. Nelson has been convicted on five separate charges of issuing checks with intent to defraud. He was sentenced to six months in Vandalia on each of the five counts, sentences to run concurrently. The Fox River Valley Dental society, a component of the American Dental association, will hold its monthly meeting .t the Baker hotel in St. Charles on Wednesday, March 15, at 6:30 p.m. Speaker for the evening will be Dr. Perry Sandel of the American Dental association, who will speak on "Public Relationship -- the Dentist, the Component Society and the Profession." Dr. Sandel will lecture after the monthly business meeting and dinner. Approximately 200 dentists belong to the Fox River Valley Dental Society.

If Lincoln's career 'in the Illinois General Assembly seems drab in comparison with his more spectacular experiences in other capacities, one event should make Lincoln's name stand out in our' state's legislative history. For, Lincoln handled the bill - in the House which resulted in moving the state capitol from Vandalia to Springfield. At one point, the bill appeared to be lost, when a motion to table prevailed. But Rep. Lincoln induced several members who had voted on the prevailing side to make a motion "to reconsider". The motion carried by one vote, with the eventual result of moving the seat of our Illinois government to Springfield. pxra KB \w7ttX' W Wh Old as you feel Amerieom today flay younger, feel better, live longer.. ,and that bright promiie grows greater ai fnedicql science advances.

MILEAGE DEATH RATE SETS NEW | RECORD LOW IN 'SO The National Safety Council said today that traffic accidents in 1960 took the live^af - 38,200 persons and catned 1,400,000 injuries disabling be' yond the day of the accident. It was the highest traffic death toll since 1957, wheni 38,702 persons met death, the Council said^ The 1959 traffic toll was 37,910 deaths and aboiii the same unmber of disabling injuries as in 1960. While the toll was rising 1 per cent from 1959, Ameriafis in 1960 were setting a recordlow rate of 5.3 deaths for every 100 million miles of motor vehicle travel. The mileage death rate in 1959 was 5.4. A 2 per cent increase in travel in 1960 more than offset the 1 per cent rise in deaths, the Chicago-based safety organization pointed out. It said highway travel was a record 715 billion miles in 1960, lbs compared with 700 billion miles in 1959. The cost of traffic accidents in 1960 was estimated by the National Safety Council at $6.4 billion. Property damage from traffic accidents was $2.15 billion. For December alone, the Council said, 3,520 persons died in traffic accidents^-- down 5 per cent from the December 1959 figure of 3,707. by Jim Wallace f More and more cities are passing ordinances that keep automobile horns silent.

The future of the American economy is squarely in the hands of the American people. There is no longer any doubt of the effect the foreign import products have on the everyday American way of life. The results are only too apparent as we look about us! The layoffs, short hours and the general slowing of American industry. This wound in our economy effects only a segment of our labor force now, but if this situation goes on unchecked, soon all Americans will be caught in this economic squeeze of being unable to compete with the cheap, mass labor of the foreign markets. Foreign imports on cars, steel, appliances, clothing, furniture and many more products will continue as long as the public; keeps buying these foreign made products. We are confident that the American people, after they become aware of the facts, will not let this situation go on affecting our American working force and their families. These facts have become only too realistic in the past few months! Now, with the help of the American public, your T.V. & Applliance dealers in this area will sell only imported Merchandise that we now have in inventory. So, with your next purchase, when you insist on American made goods, you are not just buying another product but a piece of America's future!
