Section On* -- Page Eight THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, April I 19SS t&'-.W 1 IMPERIALS OF ST. PATRICK This fine looking drum corps will be among many t o perform next Saturday evening in the McHenry high school gymnasium as. guests at the Viscounts first standstill con test. The Imperials are appearing in public for the fourth consecutive year, during which time members have travel led thousands of miles throughout Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota and Ohio. Average age of the group is 13. Among their selections will be included "I Believe," "I rish Washerwoman," "Peg O' My Heart" and favorites from "Sound of Music." by Rep. Thomas J. Hanaltan, Jr. The abolition of the death penalty and the licensing of hand guns seem to have stirred the most controversy in Springfield in the past few weeks. House Bill No. 277 is a bill which would require all owners and purchasers of hand guns to procure licenses. I will state flatly that I am opposed to such legislation. I have received over 100 letters and telegrams opposing this bill and I am in sympathy with the overwhelming majority. With regard to the abolition of capital punishment, I feel that society must come to grips with itself. We ail must realize, as Victor Hugo did many years ago when he wrote "What can be alleged in favor of punishment by death?" that capital punishment is not even a deterrent of crime. I have stated that I will support the abolition of capital punishment because of the gross unfairness of only the poor and indigent being sentenced to death. If the murderer of a child happens to have enough money, to obtain the services of a good lawyer or has enough "clout", he will never get a death penalty, but let a man of a lower social order commit even a less serious capital offense and he may end up with an inexperienced public defender and a sentence of death. Another bill, House Bill No. 224, pertains to a minimum wage for all people not covered under the federal minimum wage. This bill, as proposed, will allow restaurant owners to pay $.95 an hour if the waiter or waitress establishes that he received $.30 an hour or more in tips. Otherwise, all people will receive $1.25 an hour. I am in favor of this bill because it does not do the factory workers or the manufacturers anygood to produce if a large portion of our society cannot afford to purchase. It is easy to realize that a person earning under $1.25 an hour (which would be $50.00 weekly) certainly is not in a position to help share our economic progress since the Industrial Revolution. I might add that not only the representatives of labor are in favor of this bill, but the representative for the Illinois Manufacturers' Association 1 testified that he was in favor of the bill except for the recordkeeping provisions of the executive and administrative personnel. If you have any comments or questions on any of these issues, please do not hesitate to write me c/o House of Representatives, State Capitol, Springfield, 111. McHenry high school will be the scene of the McHenry Viscount Drum Corps Spring Music Festival next Saturday, April 3, when corps from various parts of the mid-west will participate in this judged standstill contest, the first of its kind held in McHenry. The festival will start at 7:30 p.m. and will be in the high school gym. Funds raised from this event will go toward maintenance of drum corps equipment, as well as additional instruments and uniforms which each year poses a financial hardship on the corps treasury. It is hoped that a large crowd will attend the show, which should last no longer than two hours. The program will provide the McHenry community with a fine evening's entertainment. As mentioned previously, there will be no reserved seats, but tickets are on sale in many local business establishments. The cost of veteran's pensions and other benefits has exceeded the immediate cost of all our wars, except World War 2, to date. YOUNG DRIVER HURT AS AUTO STRIKES HOUSE (Continued from page 1) New antibiotic drugs, we are told, are losing their punch against bugs. Maybe, but they still hit the family pocketbook as hard as ever. south on the blacktop, travelling up the hill, when he came upon another car, driven by Brian J. Smith, of Rt. 2, Crystal Lake, in the middle of the intersection. Schultz said he could not avoid the collision. Smith said he was west-bound on Hillroad Road and had stopped for the sign but pulled out. ~He claimed he could not see the approaching auto due to snow piled high on the right side of the road. Passengers were Cecelia Schultz in the first car and Tom Gulczynski of Cary and Gary Armstrong of Crystal Lake in the Smith vehicle.

Main Street Phone 385-2000 Munn' & Meanderin' (Continued from Page 1) There is a demand by educators for more money for schools, and in many cases this is valid. However, it has proved. not to be the entire answer to the drop-out problem. One good example is the rate in California, 14 per cent, compared with 23 per cent in New York, despite the latter's 33 per cent higher spending J or schools. The best answer to date seems to lie in the need to make school currjculums flexible and currcni to meet the changing and varied needs of yauth. W Since driving is a more or less universal practice, the public will probably take more than customary note of three bills introduced in the Illinois House with a view to making the highways safer for travel. They would raise from 18 to 21 years the age at which unmarried drivers must have parental consent to obtain and retain a driver license;, provide for reflectorized motor vehicle plates; and increase passenger car license fees 50 cents to offset the added cost of reflectorized plates. McHenry folks are again making television news. Mrs. Bob Burns of Hickory Grange was selected from the audience to appear on the Price is Right program at 10:30 Friday noon, April 2. It will be remembered that this is the program on which Ann Varese appeared two weeks ago and won a "small fortune" in prizes. K. A. F.

LYNN KBEBS CHOSEN FOR GIRLS STATE (Continued Fro n Page 1) hands of McHenry Unit 491, under the ^guidance of Girls State Chairman Lillian Bolger. Form Parties Activities get under way immediatly upon the opening of the session through the forming of two political parties. As the mythical state of government is formed, conventions are held, nomination of candidates takes place and campaigns are conducted. Elections take place first on the city and county level and progress to the state election of Illinois. After the newly elected state officers are installed, from the Governor down, all functions of the government are carried out --executive, legislative and judicial. During the session, two representatives are chosen to attend the American Legion Auxiliary Girl's National held in Washington, D. C., where government is taught on the national level. Tour Capitol One day is spent in Springfield, where the girls meet the Governor of Illinois and tour various state buildings. With leadership in government so vital to the welfare of our country, the auxiliary is making an outstanding contribution in preparing leaders of tomorrow to accept the responsibilities which will be theirs. Miss Krebs has been active in the Girls Athletic Association, Latin Club, Science Club, Future Teachers of America, American Field Service and chorus at McHenry high school. Lynn, who is 16 years old, plans to study foreign languages in college. Alternate candidate is Kathy Blake, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Blake, 2401 N. Richmond Road, McHenry. Recognition and awards will be presented to the top campaigners. Speaker of the evening is Charles Stotz, executive secretary of the West Suburban YMCA, who will speak of the growth of that association which he helped to organize in 1947. At the third report meeting, last week, co-chairman Bill Burnett tallied new returns bringing the total to 55 per cent of the goal. Finance Committee Chairman Earl Nehring urged redoubled efforts, in spite of the bad weather, so as to assure total success. The best tranquilizer for parents seems to be enough money to go around.
