Thursday. Octobar 4,1962 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER "COMMUNICATION AND SOCIAL ORDER," by Hugh Dalziel Duncan. The theory of symbolic interaction was initiated by sociologists at the University of Chicago in the 1390's. To date it remains one of the few significant sociological theories r developed in America \#ith an essentially American inspiration. It is also one of the few sociological theories that deal effectively with art. Dr. Duncan's book is the result of many years of work and thought in the tradition of symbolic interaction. It opens up many new vistas. The book develops a dramatic model. of society, a hierarchy in Mjfeich superiors, inferiors, and equals communicate by symbols which they believe will create and sustain social order. True - to its American inspiration. Dr. Duncan places special emphasis on the analysis ot equalitarian relations between men, showing how they minimize the power of mystification found in relations between superiors and inferiors. ^Communication and Social Order blends the best of humanistic and scientific views of society. Its rewarding insights into the worlds of art, religion, and money are presented with compassion; the book has the rare quality in the sociological literature of being both scholarly and readable. About the author. £Hugh Dalziel Duncan is the son of Ellen Murray Duncan and Alexander Kerr Duncan, who reside in McHenry Shores. Dr. Duncan belongs to the rare breed of independent scholars. His interests range from theoretical sociology, to the architecture of Chicago. His first book, "Language and Literature in Society," established him as a leading Ameriran sociologist of art. One of '•Jffs best essays deals with the social psychology of pride, and appears as the introduction lo his own rendering of La Roshefoucauld's Maxims in a new English version. "JOHNNY S H I L O H," by James A. Rhodes and Dean Jauchius. In the spring of 1861 a ninef ar-old boy in Newark, Ohio, n away from home to join the Union forces. At camp he won permission to stay with the troops, though he was too young and too small to be formally enrolled, even with f r i e n d l y p r e v a r i c a t i o n . T w o years later, by adding two years to his age, he was enrolled in a Michigan regiment. This boy was real, an actual person who became, much la- ®fcr, a major general in the U. S. Army. His name was John Lincoln Clem. Leading historians say he was the youngest soldier ever to serve through a major war. Johnny Shiloh is a novel closely based on history, telling the dramatic story of the boy, John Lincoln Clem's experiences through almost four years with the Union army in (jne Civil War. Somehow the boy's presence seemed to put starch into the men around him. He won his nickname during the first day's fighting at Shiloh when General Grant, trying to rally his disordered troops, put his hand on Johnny's shoulder and shouted, McHenry Library Coriier Main and Green Streets HOURS Dally, including: Saturday: 2 to 5 p.m. Friday Evenings: 7 to 9 p-m. "Johnny Shiloh wont run. Are you going to let a boy and his general stand here and fight alone?" The name caught and held the hearts of the soldiers and became their symbol and battle cry. Before long Johnny was serving as a messenger on the staff of^one general after another --Grant, Granger, Thomas --who made him an orderly sergeant attached to the staff of General Thomas' Army of the Cumberland, and kept a protective eye on him. He wasn't easy to protect, for he had a way of smelling out a fight and going along. He was three times wounded.and twice his pony was shot out from under him. Along with the actual generals, the authors have created and developed a group of fictional volunteers from Newark to give full meaning to the war. Seven of them stay "together in the conflict as long as each one lives. The result is a mature, living story of men at war, in the greatest struggle this country has faced. James A. Rhodes and Dean Jauchius, following up their success with the Trial of Mary Todd Lincoln, have produced a compelling and dramatic novel that grips the interest and refuses to let go. NEW CHILDREN'S BOOKS "RAPHAEL'S CAT," by Katherine Evans. Raphael was very excited. A great event was to take place in the little Mexican village where he^lived with his mother, Dona Rosa. There was to be a fiesta for the animals! Every year, on St. Anthony's Day, the people of Raphael's village took their pets to be blessed by the priest. This year, Raphael could take his pet cat, Oreana. Raphael thought she was the most beautiful cat in the whole world with her soft black fur and yellow eyes. Raphael saved all the centavos he earned shinning shoes in the village square to buy a yellow ribbon to match Oreana's eyes and a piece of bright pink silk from which Dona Rosa could make a pretty dress for Oreana to wear on the special day. He knew that' Oreana would look far more beautiful than any of the other animais --more beautiful than Pedro's pig or Juan's calf or Carnialita's dog with the mangy tail. But, a week before the fiesta, Oreana. disappeared! Raph ael searched everywhere for her--in the house, on the patio and in the hacaranda tree. His friends, Pedro and Rau'l helped too.

SUGGEST CORN PICKER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Help your farmer husband prevent accidents during cornpicking season by encouraging him to be a safe operator. This is the advice of O. L. Hogset*. University of Illinois extension safety specialist. * »Hogsett recommends that corn-picker operators follow these practices: Stop the picker before oiling. adjusting or unclogging. Make "shutting off the power" a habit every time you leave the tractor seat. Keep shields in place. Never operate without them. Dress for the job. Always wear close-fitting clothes that are warm and comfortable. "Extra-thumb" gloves are especially dangerous. Prohibit extra riders and see that you keep a firm footiner when climbing on and off equipment. When driving pickers on the highway, use a red flag to warn motorists of a slow-mo\- ing vehicle. For night driving, use lights--white in front and red on the rear. Obey all traffic rules. Ideas are harder to catch than mosquitoes.

COUNTY SCHOOL STATE AID CLAIM HIGHER IN 1961-62 Despite earlier predictions that school state aid claims in Illinois might exceed the $393,- 396,000 appropriated by the 72nd General Assembly, State Superintendent of Public Instruction George T. Wilkins says that estimates now strongly indicate the common school fund will show a surplus of nearly $1-million when the current biennium ends June 30, 1963. "Projections, based on previous figures, reveal the total state aid expenditure during the seventy-second biennium will be about $392,461,581 which would leave a fund of $934,418.33," Wilkins stated. Wilkins' report, made to the School Problems commission, came in the wake of news stories published throughoutj961-' 62 which quoted various persons who estimated a general state aid deficiency of as much as $15-million. Districts are entitled to state reimbursement on the basis of average daily attendance of pupils. Each district operating a recognized elementary school, grades kindergarten through eisht, received a flat grant of $47 per punil in average daily attendance; and each district operating a high school, grades nine through 12, receives a flat grant of $32 per pupil in average daily attendance. According to a formula established by the General Assembly, if financial resources of the local district received by levying the qualifying tax rate (54 cents in dual districts and 67 cents in unit districts) plus the flat grant does not produce the minimum state guarantee of $252 per pupil in average daily attendance, the district receives special aid to bring the minimum support for each pupil in average daily attendance to $252. State reimbursement to local districts is made possible by an appropriation of each General Assembly to the common school fund in Illinois. The McHenry county net claim in 1961-'62 was $1,143,- 824.14 compared to $1,063,816.- 40 the previous year.
