CANDIDATE FOR SUPERVISOR m v " j* I am taking this means of presenting my beliefs, convictions and qualifications for the office of Supervisor of McHenry Township. The Office of Supervisor is one of the most important offices in the County, for the simple reason that it deals with the welfare of all the people, particularly with the poor, the old, and the unfortunate needing county aid. Most specifically it deals with the spending of the money of the tax paying citizens. It is my belief that politics should not enter into a job of this type. That is the reason I have refrained from attending meetings endorsed by any political parties. I feel that if I cannot win on my own merits then I am not the man to fill this most important job. Having plenty of help at the store, I will have ample time to do justice to the office. I have had eight years experience as Alderman of the City of McHenry. During that time I have served on or have been Chairman of Committees most concerned with operation of & governing body, i.e., Finance, Local Improvements, Streets and Alleys, Purchasing, Parks and Public Property. Experience on these committees means experience in budgeting, appropriation, and planning for the good of our commuity. Being free of political entaglements I can pledge unbiased consideration in all dealings and scrupulous accounting in the administration of this office. Please take my qualifications into account and place an X before my name and that of the Township Improvement Party April 2nd. ' CHARLIE BROWN (Pol Adv.)

Now we are being asked to vote for an additional $685,000 bond issue to again raise our taxes for another eight years. "The private nursing homes of McHenry county have alweys welcomed Illinois Public Aid and township patients, and will continue to do so. There exist vacant beds in these nursing homes. Therefore, if private enterprise is accepting these patients, why should the citizens of McHenry county be burdened with more taxes for new facilities when there are vacant beds for these patients. "Additional beds for nursing home patients in McHenry county can be provided by private enterprise and private funds without additional taxes. "Would you criticize or condemn the writers for speaking out against this issue? Would they be justified in asking if it is worth your time to stop at the polls on April 2, 1963 and Vote Against this bond Issue? Birchwood Rest Home, Hazel Beckwith, Adm.

Blessed are they who get their copy in early, for they shall occupy a warm spot in the editor's heart. Blessed are the merchants who advertise, for they shall have faith in thejr business, and their prosperity shall increase many fold. Blessed is the woman who sends a written account of a party or wedding, for she shall see the details and names of her guests recorded correctly. Blessed are they who do not think they could run a newspaper better than the editor runs it -- yes, thrice blessed are they, for there are so few of them!
