FALL DINNER OF GOP WOMEN PLANNEDOCT. 9 Phyllis Schlafly Guest Speaker At Important Meeting \ ---- Phyllis Stewart Schlafly, president of the Illinois Federation of Republican Women, will be the speaker at the fall dinner of tri-county Republican club of Boone, Lake and McHenry counties. The dinner will be Oct. 9 at the new Lake Forest club, with the social hour beginning at 6:30 p.m. and dinner served at 7:30 p.m. Tickets may be purchased from Thomas Davis, McHenry. Mrs. Schlafly, mother of five young children, has carried on an unceasing one-woman campaign for the preservation "(Crf, constitutional government ^fn the United States. She was graduated from Washington university as a political science major in 1944, and earned her master's degree in government at Radcliffe college. §ince that time she has devoted evepr possible moment to research, speaking on Communism, American government, foreign policy, legislation and education. Mrs. Schlafly has been an elected delegate to the 1956, 1960 and 1964 Republican national conventions. As a state central committeewoman from the 24th district, she keynoted the Illinois Republican state convention in 1952. At present she is serving her third term as president of the Illinois Federation of Republican Women, the largest women's organization in Illinois devoted specifically to patriotism, constitutional government, honest elections and political education. Currently she is on the National Federation of Republican Women slate for the office of first vice president. In May of this year Mrs. Schlafly's paperback book, "A Choice Not An Echo" (the inside story of how American Presidents are chosen) was published. Now in its third edition, the book has sold over two and a half million copies. She is also the author of the most widely-circulated book list on Communism, "Inside the Communist Conspiracy". Five editions have been published since the original edition in 1954, and it is still in great demand throughout the United States.

PRICE SUPPORT LOANS SPEEDED BY LESS WORK With this years harvest, approximately 700 grain farmers in McHenry county taking part in USDA's price support loan programs are getting faster service with less paper work, according to Bert Bridges, chairman of the McHenry County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation committee. The difference, Mr. Bridges said, is a new simplified streamlined method which is speeding up the loan process, and at the same time saving the government at least one million dollars, a year, nationwide. Up to now, the exact quantity and quality of the grain has been determined before the loan was made. With the new procedure the quantity of grains in farm storage is estimated. The loan is made on the basis of percentage of the estimated quantity and apparent condition of the commodity. In a further simplification, a farmer now signs a single document instead of a separate note and chattel mortgage. He can keep tab on his loan interest by using a simple flat rate figure rather than figuring it on a day^by-day basis as in the past. The change usually enables the county office to reduce the service charge to farmers. For a farm storage loan involving 3,000 bushels of corn, the cost to a farmer will be $18 under the new procedure compared to a cost of $30 under the old rules. With the new method, farmer elected community committeemen and the program participant have more responsibility for maintaining and checking on quality of grains under farm stored price support loan. The number of inspections of farm stored collateral have been reduced. Some people think they're dynamic, just because they explode easily.
