TV may soon be recognized as responsible for a democratic nation demanding its full rights in the selection of outstanding statesmen to fill its two highest positions." All this was included in our musings twelve years ago. Will history repeat itself? NEW ACTIVITIES MARK McHENRY'S FIESTA EVENT (Continued from Page 1) There are some things we never expect to change, and we are disappointed if they do. One of these is the carnival. Over a period of years we have seen •the introduction of a few new rides, but the same old merrygo- round, ferris wheel and cotton candy remain, for which we are grateful. Fireworks, too, remain -the same booming, beautiful bits of entertainment they have been for many years. But did you notice the innovation of a few very special displays in the sky this year? Another Legion carnival has come and gone, and with its departure there is a feeling that the best part of the summer has also left us. Something always makes the weeks after the Fourth seem to fly.

The council approved transfer of tavern license from Samuel Davis (formerly Art & Lee tavern) to Edmund Turkowski and Martin Lenart. McHenry's old fire truck, which was turned over to the McHenry Township Fire Protection District when it was organized, is coming home to roost in the city park where boys and girls can have a grand time inspecting it. Word has come to the council that some residents still persist in burning garbage. The odor is offensive and the practice is strictly against the city ordinance. Those in violation are asked to discontinue burning any refuse causing offensive odors. The city asks cooperation rather than having to take police action. Mayor Doherty, acting as police commissioner, accepted the leave of absence requested by Police Officer Bart Yegge for reasons of health. CONCLUDE DAY CAMP ACTIVITY WITH PROGRAM A program based on a Spanish theme concluded Day Camp activities for more than 175 young Girl Scouts in Cooney Woods Friday afternoon. The girls had been learning a few Spanish phrases during the week, which they incorporated into their varied program. The theme was selected this year because of the interest of some of the cadettes to raise money so that they may take a trip to Mexico in 1965 or 1966 to spend some time at one of the international headquarters of the Girl Scouts. One of the most popular features of the week was the weaving class, in which all participated. Leaders report beautiful trays, baskets and other handicraft as the result of Day Camp class instruction.

This SAAB was deliberately rolled down.a Norwegian ski slope, with a man in it. It turned over 25 times, and the driver walked away. It proved that the SAAB body can take an awful beating, if it has to. A comforting fact to know, if you're inside. The 1964 SAAB has: • an almost uncrushable unitized body (thicker steel than most American cars). • reinforced steel columns and pop-out windshield • padded dash and sun visors • collapsible steering wheel • new extra-safe diagonal braking system SAAB engineers don't take safety lightly. That's why they build one of the world's safest cars. When you come in for a test drive, we'll be glad to show you why the 1964 SAAB is one of the world's safest buys.
