. 2, SE^.* 2 -PLAIN DEALER - MAR. 1967 - *'< «"'L 1 IYE$ OF IUINIS FOCUS •tN •UTSTM*IH6 HP WOMAN : l>CGuest editorial reprinted from Dixon Evening Telegraph). %' ' Hie eyes of Illinois and the nation will be focused iqjort the election this coming May of the new president of the National " Federation of Republican Women. With a membership of over - 500,000 this is the largest women's political organization in the - world. Hie leading contender for the presidency is Illinois* Mrs. " Phyllis Schlafly of Alton. Mrs. Schlafly is the wife of Fred Schlai fly, a prominent Alton attorney and mother of six fine children, . two sons and four daughters, age 16 down to 2. For five years she has ably served as president of the Dliv tails Federation of Republican Women. During her tenure in office *fhe Illinois Federation has had a tremendous increase in mem- •r tier ship; Phyllis Schlafly gives great credit to all the dedicated,, hard working Federation women throughout the state, and rightly so. No jealous woman, Phyllis Schlafly, but a down-to-earth, Godi fearing mother and wife, and good citizen who is proud to commend her fellow women. She is at present the first vice-president of the National Fed- ©ration and has been a devoted longtime worker in the Republican Party. T - The eyes of over 27,000,000 persons who voted for Barry J Goldwater will be upon this fine lady because of the rumors that it the Rockefeller eastern establishment is out to "get her." Yes, the Eastern Kingmakers are at it again. These left ? wing liberal, or moderate groups (take your choice) who cry ; lor party unity - if it is on their terms - are out to eliminate "< Phyllis Schlafly one way or another. In the previous elections she covered the state with equal i vim and vigor for Eisenhower, Nixon, Goldwater, Dirksen and v. Percy, and worked her heart out at the grass root levels. Phyllis Schlafly is one of the finest public speakers in the country and has j* never charged for her talks. \\ This grand and dedicated woman told the writer that she has 4; ionly two purposes for her interest in politics; (1) The satisfac- .< tion of knowing she was doing all in her power to give her childis ren the opportunity to grow 19 in a free and decent America, and (2) the satisfaction of trying her best to explain the hopes and ideals and faith in her party to the grass root Republicans ^ who believe in her. Phyllis Schlafly is blessed with an understanding husband £ and children who are proud of a dedicated mother who is not only £ interested in her own family, but in all the families of our great America. * ft would be an ominous day for the Republican Party in America if tins dedicated Republican worker were not allowed to have ^.the chair she so richly deserves after all her years of unselfish work. Under Phyllis Schlafly the Illinois Federation grew to the ' greatest all time membership. It could very well be that the * National Federation could have the same results under her '£ leadership. TIE SCHOOL Tffl I1EFEIEKDA School officials in Illinois are not satisfied with the twoto- one victory margin established in 303 elections last year. Defeats, they say, were more frequent and there was too much at stake to be satisfied with such results. Bond elections for new construction won the greatest support at the polls, with a total of 75 per cent carrying. This was a 5 per cent decrease from 1965. The educational rate referenda recorded a 57 per cent figure, winning sixty-nine of 122 elections; while the building rate referenda registered a 54 per cert total, capturing thirteen of twenty-four elections. This was interesting as one reflects on a similar trend in last week's election in Harrison district, Wonder Lake, where voters approved the educational rate and defeated the building rate. LOCAL LEVEL AHEITISINC The largest business in the world in terms of sales volume and profits also is the largest user of newspaper advertising among manufacturers. The largest retail business in the world also is the largest user of retail newspaper advertising in the world. The relationship of bigness and successful i merchandising to the use of newspaper advertising is no coincidence. These businesses have grown big over the decades as the result of consistent appeal to the consumer on the local level. Such great national companies have enormous faring for testing the worth of their advertising efforts. They give every method of advertising a fair trial before investing tniliinna of dollars. They continue to increase their newspaper advertising year after year. Their sales have increased accordingly. The result is a constant reminder that all sales are local. No business grows so large that it can forget the individual consumer and the factors which cause him to make a final buying decision. Conversely, no company is so small it can overloook the processes which lead to growth. Indeed the small local firm has more chance than giant national enterprises to profit from local newspaper advertising. Newspaper advertising is more economical for the small local store than for the national firm. Because of his specialized knowledge of the community, the local retailer should be able to do a better selling job with less space. And because people are truly interested in the success of a local firm, they will patronize it when advertising proves that the local store is competitive.

"Perhaps we've been victimized by an April Jokester". \ l$S33SBSfc IWmTm m Although there have been a number of cases where persons have been denied their seats in the Congress, the Adam Clayton Powell case is unique in congressional history. Adam Clayton Powell has been charged with certain serious offenses of misconduct including the loading of his congressional and committee payrolls, the conversion to his own use of monies purporting to have been earned by his estranged wife, the use of committee credit cards under fictitious names, and failure to report fully the amount of foreign currencies, expended by him and members of his staff. In addition, criminal contempt charges were brought against Powell, arising out of a McCLORY REPORTS From Washington libel judgment in the New York courts. At least one of these charges was later reversed on appeal. Indeed, at the time of the investigation of his conduct by a select committee of the House of Representatives, as well as when the full House membership considered his case, no final judgments ofLcriminal misconduct had been rendered against Powell. The prerequisites for a United States Representative are set forth specifically in Article I, Section 2, of the United States Constitution. It is provided there that a Representative in Congress must be (a) 25 years of age, (b) a citizen of the United States, and (c) an inhabitant of the state from which .he is chosen. All I AM THE WAN! AD My mission is to serve humanity without regard to creed or position or time or place. I am the servant of the poor, the commissioner of the rich. With each sunrise and each sunset I go forth with new missions to perform. Each new day new thousands rely upon me to fill their needs and satisfy their wants. I search out all manner of things for all manner of persons. I find the castle for the newlyweds, a home for those grown weary and aged. I find a business for a future giant of industry and a little shop for a widow's livelihood. I alter the course of millions, and many times the future of maid and man is of my determination. I recover the lost pets of weeping children, and restore lost persons to anxious friends. I sing the praise of artisans, proclaim the skill of craftsmen. I find labor for the man of brawn as well as opportunity far trained and active minds. I am the Fabled Dwarfs, Aladdin's Lamp and the Magic Wand of modern times. Millions in trade are consummated through me, yet the value of my service is not to be measured in silver or gold. Even rogues avail themselves of my power and filch from those who trust me. I am an index of trends, a barometer of commerce, a harbinger of coming events. I am a by-word in countless thousands of homes, the first thought in many times of need. My speed of action, the sureness of my success, matches the completeness of my public acceptance. Within my lines are the sad stories and the glad stories of everyday living that goes to make up life. I perform In my own individual way and for me there is no substitute. No other medium, no other method, plan, or scheme can duplicate my service. In multiple, I become the world's greatest market of services and things. I am born of the people and have lived and grown by their insistence and over the protests of those who held my destiny. I have become an institution of service big enough and broad enough to do anything for anybody at anytime. I AM A WANT AD! Copyrighted - Harry Gwaltney - Milwaukee, Wisconsin. seem to agree that Adam Clayton Powell satisfied these constitutional requirements at the time of his election. However, the Constitution also provides that: "Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns, and Qualifications of its own Members." Still. another part of the Constitution authorizes the House to punish its members for disorderly behavior, and to expel a member with the concurrence of a twothirds majority. Having due regard for these constitutional provisions, it was the unanimous judgment of the select committee appointed to investigate Mr. Powell that in ordeFto punish him, it was first necessary to seat him as a member. In addition, it should be pointed out that the punishment recommended by the select committee was the most severe ever meted out to a member short of complete expulsion. However, these recommendations of the committee were rejected by a vote of 202 to 222 and the membership thereafter voted to "exclude" Mr. Powell from the, House. Hie basis for many members voting as they did was that Mr. Powell's conduct was of such a seribus nature and his '^violations of law so obvious, and flagrant, that he shpuld not be permitted to take his seat. While a serious constitutional question may now arise, there is the prospect that Powell could be re-elected to the House of Representatives in a special election on April 11, in New York's Harlem district. If Powell is re-elected by the Harlem voters or if the Supreme Court overrides the House of Representatives; actions on March 1 (which the Court may have the t power to do), the Adam Clayton Powell case will be back in the lap of the House of Representatives. The Adam Clayton Powell case has blighted the image of the Congress and harmed the reputation of all its members. Notwithstanding this unfortunate consequence, the overwhelming majority of the remaining 433 members of the House are men and women of integrity and character who observe the highest standards of ethics and conduct. It is to be hoped that the United States House of Representatives will promptly establish a permanent Committee on Ethics and Conduct to help assure that no future Adam Clayton Powell case arises and that the Congress PUBLIC PULSE (The Plaindealfer invites the public to use this column as an expression of their views on subjects Of general interest in our community.

"Dear Editor, I am slightly amazed and almost incredulous at the seemingly unlimited possibilities for complete control by the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture over what is now private property if the 'Wild Rivers Acf, a bill introduced mi Jan. 11, 1967, into the United States Senate as S. 119 and referred to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, goes into effect. "According to Ms proposed Act, the National Wild Rivers system would include specific areas reaching across the nation, and providiftgxfor possible inclusion of any other river or segment thereof. "Under Sec. 4 (0, "Wherever the power of condemnation has been conferred by this Act, the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture may acquire in fee title fay condemnation an area which may not extend more than 300 feet (Mi either side of the stream, tributary, or river; and either Secretary may acquire by condemnation for scenic easements, or other interests in land, other than fee title, an area which extends no more than one thousand three hundred and twenty feet from either side of the stream, tributary, or river." V "But with incredulity and amazemerit, I must accept the fact that this Bill, S. ,110, was actually read twice in the first session of the 90th Congress of the United States and referred to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, According to Sec. 1 of S. 119t This Act may be cited as the 'Wild Rivers Act'. "Ah! How appropriate is this title, so beautifully euphonious and indeed fitting for this Act which proposes to 'make accessible for the benfit of all the American people selected parts of the nation's diminishing resources of free-flowing rivers.' Sec. 2(a). "And just think of the possibilities-- as under Sac. !,(b), 'A wild river area eligible to .be included in the System is a stream or section of a stream, tributary, or river--and the related adjacent land area-- that should be left in its freeflowing condition, or that should be restored to such condition, in order to promote sound water conservation, and promote the public use and enjoyment of the scenic, fish, wiidlife, and witdoor recreation values.' "I wonder how soon this 'Wild Rivers Act' can be implemented so that it could be possible through this Act for all the American people to enjoy the recreational advantages of the free-flowing waters of the Fox and DesPlaines rivers and the bodies of water which drain therein and which are now primarily limited to owners of properties along these waters.

Niesen's Cafe operated for many years by Mrs. Florence Dunham, Mrs. Eva Guinto and Mrs. Theresa Forrest and fort the last two years by the two 'former parties has recently been purchased by Mrs. Guinto. It will be known as Eva's Restaurant. A family gathering was held at the Math Glosson home Sunday honoring Private John Glosson who was home from Fort Custer, Mich., for a weekend visit. A speed limit of forty miles per hour became effective early this week when T.P. Sullivan, state director of public safety, directed that state highway police prevent faster speeds in Illinois. Mrs. Mae Budil was a gracious hostefts at a stork shower given in honor of Mrs. Bernie Peschke March 19. Cards and bunco were played and a delicious luncheon was served. (Taken from the files of March 21, 1957) Rudy Becker of McHenry was seen on Channel IPs 4:30 pjn. Totem club program. The program featurs a segment on the care and training of dogs with Mr. Becker demonstrating with all breeds. The purchase of two new combination tankers and pumpers now brings the total pieces of equipment owned by the Mc- Henry Township Fire Protection district to seven. These will be used in the three stations within the district, Station I being McHenry; Station n, Johnsburg; and Station III, Lakemoor. Glen E&pel, representing Eppel Brothers of McHenry, was recently proclaimed county corn growing champion at a banquet held at DeKalb in honor of Northern Illinois corn grow-, ing champions. His yield of 136.86 bushels per acre was the top yield in McHenry county in a 1956 national selected five acre corn growing contest. Mr. and Mrs. James Patzke and daughter, Sandy, have moved recently from McHenry their new home at McCullom Lake. Mark Zimmerman of the McHenry Cherry Valley 4-H club was awarded second place honors at the annual agricultural demonstration contest held in Woodstock. He was recognized for his safety demonstration in which he stressed tractor safety. ^ FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 31, 1927) McHenry is enjoying a building boom this spring. Work has started on a new building which T. J. Walsh will build between the William Pries building an^ the Store now occupied by Smith Bros, on Green street. The basement has been dug for a new residence which will be built for Mr. and Mrs. Louis Smith on Green street. Martin Stoffel is excavating for a new basement on his lot on Pearl street and will move his present residence onto the new foundation. The house on Center street which is being built for J.C. Thies is nearly completed and Mr. and Mrs. J. C. TWes, Sr., will occupy it. A fire which threatened all of the buildings onthepremises totally destroyed the garage and its contents on the D.A„ Whiting farm between McHenry and Ringwood early Sunday morning. A practically new Paige sedan and an Elgin car which were in the garage were completely burned. R. C. Raven and Clifford Raven, brothers living nearer Gristwold Lake, shot and killed a wolf Monday afternoon. Farmers had complained the* wolf had killed chiekeflsfpigs, and sheep around this locality. The wolf was chased with a car and was shot while the car was going at top speed. Ralph D. Ensign, formerly a resident of McHenry, and who went to the Lily Lake school when a child, is with the U.S. Marine Corps in Shanghai, China.
