The 1961 event will be sponsored by Collect-O-Rama, a central Illinois organization, which has headquarters here. The two day event will be open to the public, as well as to collectors and dealers. Donations to the Wonder Lake cancer fund drive were 30 per cent above last year, reaching $658.83 in the 1961 drive held in fourteen subdivisions and adjacent residential areas.

Use The Classifieds Experts in the field of juvenile delinquency agree that there is no substitute for parental discipline and responsibility. The Illinois General Assembly, while recognizing the existance of grave juvenile problems, finds it difficult to. pass laws to require parents to perform their jobs. However, several bills belng considered at the present .session should encourage parents to behave like adults and discourage juveniles from becoming delinquents. An important measure which has just passed the State Senate gives county boards the authority to pass curfew ordin ances. If county authorities exercise and enforce this authorir ty, youngsters under 17 will be forced to go home after 10 p.m.. to be with their parents where they belong. Another measure, Senate Bill No.' 92, will affect the more serious cfcses of juvenile delm quency by permitting our county courts to impose restrictive orders against the parents in such cases. For instances, parents of such children might be ordered not to frequent a tavern at night when they should be home with their childrer. Indeed, where a parent is violent or indulges in qther offeftsive conduct around the home he may be ord^f^d to desist from such practices or to stay away from his OWII child. The judges o| our juvenile courts favor this new authority as they have found much truth in the expression "There are no delinquent children, there are only delinquent parents". The Illinois Public Aid Commission has endorsed Senate Bill No. 92, with the hope that this may be useful in many cases of Aid to Dependent Children -- to reduce the incidence of illegitimacy. It is hoped thaf enactment of these two bills may place the juvenile delinquency problem where it belongs -- in the home and with the parents. Our lawmakers want to be homemakers. In the famous "Lost Speech" delivered by Abraham Lincoln, May 29, 1856, at Bloomington, 111., he is reported to have said: "Let us lay aside our prejudices, and march--shoulder tc shoulder--in the great army of freedom." It was on this date and at this place that the Republican party was bats, and as our contemporary, Carl Sandburg, has said: "If he didn't say those words, lie should have." The struggle to eliminate prejudice in all areas of our society is as old as the history of man. In the present session of the Illinois General Assembly, legislative measures described as "equal job opportunity" and "fai% employment practices" have occasioned emotional speeches and much misunderstanding. When the issue is resolved it is hoped that there will be some tangible results. House Bill No. 406, described as a bill to encourage equality of opportunity and establish a Fair Emp 1 o y m e n t Practices Commission wte passed recently in'the House by a whopping 115 to 42 majority. It is now pending in the State Senate. The bill would apply to employers of more than ten persons, t<» labor unions, and to some other organizations. The Commission created under this proposal would be granted wide authority to investigate and punish violators of the stated pui^ose of the act. Complaints might be filed in cases of employment decisions on the basis of racie, color, religion, or national origin, and employers and others found guilty of violations would be subject to penalties including fine and possible imprisonment. In Addition to the regulatory aspects of the proposed legislation, ! the political implications cannot be overlooked. The bill introduced in the Illinois House was Supported by more Democrats^ than Republicans. On a national basis, the Democratic party, through its control of the Southern states, must assume; responsibility for perpetuating prejudice against Negroes, even to the extent of excluding ihem from publie schools, public transportation facilities, public parks, golf courses, beaches, and libraries, where tax support would appear to establish unquestionable equal rights. Few appear to demand the severe penalty provisions, except for the obvious coercive effects. To this writer, it seems that such regulations are Inconsistent with the development of "brotherly love" and shoulfl be deleted from the pending bill. However, the opportunity for such a change may have been lost following defeat of F.E.P.C. at the last session. For many years Republican platforms have supported laws favoring equal opportunity legislation, and the writer hopes that support for the principle enunciated by these platforms can be garnered amon? Republican as well as Democratic members at the present session J i Voluntary programs {have gone far toward resolving the problem of prejudice in industry. On the other hand, the threat of a punitive statute has undoubtedly hastened the adoption by some of a voluntary program. Enactment of some measure at this session should end the political bigotry practiced; by some of the sponsors of previous legislative proposals for "fair employment". And-- the Republican party should again be (as it was conceived on that fateful day at Bloerangtpn), "the great army of freedom", offering the fairest and greatest opportunity for all without regard to race, religion, color or place of birth. The Drivers Seat Did you ever get steaming mad when some other dffiver swerved from his lane without warning and cut, you off? When something upsets you in the office or shop, do you worry about it while ydu're driving home?. If you have an argument with your wife at breakfast, do you slam out of the house, jump into your car and drive off to work tense and angry? In every one of these cases, you multiply your chances of being killed and become dangerous to other drivers on the road. Although you ordinarily may be a careful and cautious driver, emotional upset can make you a highway menace. Moods and attitudes do kill thousands of drivers each year, injure many thousands of others and cost millions in property damage. You just can't concentrate on driving when you're worried, nervous, tense or impatient. In such a state, you're bound to lose your - normal sense of caution. Furthermore, you won't see things in their proper perspective. Should an accident situation begin to develop -- a pedestrian dart in front of you, the car ahead stop suddenly, an oncoming car swerve into your lane -- it would take an extra split second to pull your mind back to the driving emergency. That extra split second could be deadly. Perhaps you think it can't happen to you. Don't kid yourself! Good driving -- and any other kind is dangerous business -- requires complete concentration on the task at hand/ You can't fully control the situation if you are only _ half aware of what you are doing.
