ADMITTED TO COLEGE Miss Lynn M. Gu§tavson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Victor R. Gustavson, 7506 Center drive, Wonder Lake, has been admitted to Shimer college for' enrollment next fall, according to D.

In 1953 we had a good Property Owners association and at that time we had only a few who would not pay their $10 for snow removal. We were thankful we did not have much snow then. On Sunday, Feb. 18, we started out for Mass and, to pick^nap^a neighbor and half way t here we were stuck. Although under a doctor's care, my husband had to shovel for ov£? an hour. Without help JT think we would have been there still. It was necessary for my husband to be confined to bed afterward and if we had to call the fire department or doctor for him they would never have been able to get through. "All I can say is if every owner out here had paid his $10 a year things would be different, but some are in arrears four years. They think the poor few who pay can do it so they can run trucks and cars all over our roads. "If everyone doesn't pay, no wonder there is o no money in the association fund. "We have a nice place Jo live if owners would only 'try and pay their money and keep up their places. It's a disgrace to know and see that some owners don't care and let others pay their way. "Mrs. R. Esser "5415 W. Cleveland Drive "McHenry, 111." Peanuts seem to have been native to every tropical and sub-tropical country of the world. They have been found in tombs in South America, dating back to 950 B.C. EARL R. WALSH INSURANCE Fire, Auto, Farm & Life Iw.

These contributions of CROP (Christian Rural Overseas Program). the community food appeal of Church World Service, reached a 10-year high of nearly five million pounds valued at $1,210,000, the Rev.

FACTS SMALL THEFTS Two thefts were recorded in this afea during the past week. A coat and set . of keys was taken from the car of Jack Schaefer when it was parked near McHenry Recreation. At Wonder Lake, Mrs. Chester Oaklfey reported to the sheriffs office the theft of two rear view mirrors from her Anybody want to propose a new local tax? Well, don't. According to Maurice W. Scott, executive secretary of the Taxpayers' Federation of Illinois, the citizens of the state now pay local property taxes for expenses of counties, townships and road districts, cities, villages and incorporated towns, sanitary districts, park districts, fire protections districts, airport authority districts, hospital districts, forest preserve districts, mosquito abatement districts. T.B. sanitarium districts, public health districts, library districts, river conservancy districts, cemetery districts, water authority districts, surface water protection districts and school districts. "Not only have the types of districts increased," said Scott, "but the total-amount of-4axes extended increased 119.3 per cent from 1950 to 1960.7 Much of this increase can be attributed to taxes which the people have voted on themselves. Some can lie attributed to increases in population and these are reflected particularly in urban areas. In schools, increased enrollments and enrichment of curricula account for part of the increase Taxes for county purposes increased 51.5 per cent from l:i50 to 1960; townships and road districts increased 69.5 per cent in that same period. I n c r e a s e s in p o p u l a t i o n in cities, villages and incorporated towns apparently account for part of the increase of 106.9 per cent in tax extensions for these purposes. While total population in Illinois increased 15.7 per cent from 1950 to 1960, uiljan areas showed an increase of 20.4 per cent in population during that same period. School districts had an increase of 155.3 per cent in iaxes extended for all local school purposes from 1950 to 1960. During that same [k?iuk1, their increase in enrollment was 51.7 per ceni. School district tax increases are due in part to increases in taxes voted at referenda, bond issues and enrichment of curricula. Other special districts, such as hospital, mosquito abatement, river conservancy districts, etc. increased tax ex- U.S. SENATOR CONFERS WITH LOCAL DEMOCRATS William J. Bolger and Jerome Rogers met with Senator Douglas in Chicago last Thursday to discuss labor-utility legislation. Mr. Rogers is COPE director for this area and Mr. Bolger, who was elected delegate to the last two Democratic conventions, is a member of the electrical workers union. After their meeting with Senator Douglas, the two men had lunch with Senator Douglas' administrative assistant, Douglas Anderson. He told the local men an interesting story concerning the movie, Advise and Consent. "The movie people were looking for a setting of a senator's office which would represent a period of time around 1900. When they came upon Senator Douglas' office they are reported to have commented, "This is perfect. don't change a thing". Many will remember that Senator Douglas has steadfastlv insisted that the furnishings in his office are serviceable and comfortaole. and has refused to have them changed for more plush surrounding^.

This increase might also be attributed largely to increased/'number of districts providing services which taxpayers have authorized by referenda. " "All too many times," -the Taxpayers' Federation points out, "taxpayers blame the-off i c i a l s f o r i n c r e a s e d t a x e s which they have authorised by their own votes."
