Natal Days June 12, it's happy birthday wishes to Chancey Harrison, Frank Harrison and Mary Hiller (now of Johnsburg). On June 13, Freddy Wegener will celebrate his fourth birthday. Birthday wishes to the above lot The more than 17,000 answers in the questionnaires returned by 12th Congressional District residents icveal some interesting results. There was overwhelming support <67 per cent) for ad option of a study of the metric system as the official system of weights and' measures of the United States. This indicates a surprising, recognition on the part of the average citizen that convetsion of cur sys'em - of inches arxl feet and ounces and pounds to a universal sy^em of centimeters and meters and grams and kilograms wou'd promote scientific development and enhance international understanding. This subject, embodied in a bill s|«>nsorcd by this Member iII.R. ;*Xi, is now pending before the House Sciand to all who have a birthday or anniversary coming up. Happy anniversary wishes are in order to the Rpy Dodds who celebrate on Friday, the 11th. That's about all for another week, see you next? Bye ence and Astronautics Com-- mittee, with a hearing expected in the near future. If enacted, this trill will authorize a five-year study with the hope rf establishing a schedule of conversion to the metric" system during the ensuing ten or fifteen years. Almost one-half of those who answered the question regarding medicare legislation favored an individual program of nivate health insurance. Th3 next largest group supported expansion of the Kerr-Mills or Eldereare program to furnish hospital and medical care for the needy aged. The leaM popular p.rogram was thait involving hospitalization financed by an increase in Social Security taxes. The measure which the House has passed embodies all three types of piMgrams, plus increases in Social Security benefits to oldage beneficiaries, widows and dependents, as well as medical and hospital cure for the blind the physically handicapped and assistance for the mentally retarded. Although the comprehensive "Social Security Amendments of 1905" cover 100 per cent oi the answers on this issue, il could scarcely be suggested that 100 per cent of our 12th District residents aie pleased with the outcome of this legislation. Most, including this member of Congress, would have preferred a program which omitted thait part embodying compulsory hospitalization insurance under Social Security. However, that, alternative was defeated (against solid Republican votes) before the comprehensive measure was ]Kissed by an almost threeto- one margin. A surprising result in the questionnaire was the high percentage of persons favoring increased trade with th£ Soviet Union find communist bloc countries. Almost 58 per cent of those answering thil question supported increased East-West trade, providing it did not involve strategic mar teriaJs. Only about one-third favorfed no trade whatsoever. This opinion appears to coincide with an attitude developing in the business commua^y as evidenced by a recent con ference of the United States Chamber of Commerce and recommendations emanating from the President's ^om^il of Economic Advisors. t1||P The most indecisive result produced by the ^questionnaire was that relative to the issue of "Tnath in Packaging." The variety of answers received indicates that the public is confused on this issue. This "confusion" appears to be the excuse given for this proposal. The sponsors contend that the variety of sizes, shapes, colors, labels and illustrations on packages requires a new Federal law and extensive Federal regulation in order that the American housewife may avoid any such confusion. The numerous comments which accompanied the questionnaires have resulted in interesting and valuable reading fpr this member of Congress. General reactions have been most fa|6rable with literally thousands of persons expressing appreciation for this opportunity to state individual opinions. The decisions of the writer here in the Congress must be formed individually. However, the questionnaire results, including the numerous comments and suggest ions, have been of immeasurable value in helping to form knowledgeable decisions on these various critical issues facing >ur nation. PHICA. IMC. You're missing a lot when you own a Volkswagen. A VW has fewer parfs than other cars because needs fewer parts. There's no bulky drive shaft to transfer engine power to the rear wheels. Our car's engine is in back to start with (and to maintain traction with). That's why it doesn't need a drive shaft. And it doesn't need a radiator, or a water pump, or hoses. Because the engine's cooled with cir, not water. (When you drive your first VW, you may miss putting in antifreeze, rust inhibitors, and whatnot. But you'll soon get used to it.) The stuff a Volkswagen doesn't use, it doesn't have to haul (and waste gas on). Which is one reason it averages 32 miles per gallon of regular. And the parts you don't buy, you'll never repair. So you can't waste money on that. Now you know why you can drive a VW for years and years with a lot of parts missing. And never miss them. McHENRY COUNTY IMPORTJriOTORS AUTHORIZU . 0IAIC1 114 w.
