^ V CREDIT MANY <M COP GAINS tO MRS. SCHLAFLY : V:-' ." '^Illinois in 1966 witnessed me ipfr its finest Republican victories in recent years. Republicans ^ined one Senate seat, one Con- tessional seat, some 40 seats. the niinois Legislature, and jjhe presidency of the Cook bounty Board. There were many fetors working for Republicans, but one hitherto unrepprted factor was the quiet Uifluence and personality of 'U young wife and mother from ..Alton - Phyllis Schlafly, first vice-president of the Nation- 'al Federation of Republican vWomen. Mrs. .Schlafly has beentrav- •eling our state for the Republi- Party since 1952 when she fyowed 5,000 delegates to the Illinois Republican Party Convention with her memorable jteynote Address. Since then, v£he has been in constant demand as a speaker for Republican rallies and clubs. Every- ,'tfhere she has left behind her $ trail of harmony, good will, . 'fend constructive " together- Qess" of the various ideologies, ; factions, and branches of the .Republican Party. > Mrs. Schlafly served in numerous capacities at the ibcal, district, and state levels •Before she was in 1960 elected •President of the Illinois Federation of Republican Women, an ;0ffice she held for nearly live jears. The women who worked with her in directing the affairs of this organization of some 25,- 000 women note that she displayed unusual executive ability aliased on fairness and aboveboard treatment of all. She solved problems and promoted growth on the principle of her 'eft-repeated slogan, "unity ^without unanimity." She has a ;I00 per cent record of loyalty to ;(he straight Republican ticket. She traveled the state and "worked with equal fervor for Eisenhower, Nixon, Goldwater, Dirksen, and Percy. , • .Ambassador James C. Kemper, former Illinois Republican -national committeeman, sent 'Hie Telegraph a telegram Cwhich reads as follows: "Phyllis Schlafly is a great American. 1 am proud to salute her as a .fellow citizen of Illinois. If we 'had enough Phyllis Schlaflys ;equally interested in the preservation of this republic, its -future would be assured." I'- Mrs. Kate Hoffman of Rock- 'ford, president of the largest I club in the Illinois Federation and winner of the national award in 1963 for the largest growth of any club in the United States, analyzed the 1966 election results this way: "Rockford is considered the core of conservatism in Illinois. In 1966 there was still much bitterness left from the primary in 1964. Phyllis Schlafly's leadership in behalf of Party unity was the principal reason why we were able to pull Republicans together in a united effort with Chuck Percy at the top of the ticket." Mrs. Dorothy England, president of the large club in Champaign, said: "After the 1964 election, when our county was discouraged, we turned to Mrs. Schlafly. With hejr inspiration and leadership, We built from scratch a club of nearly 400 members and made a significant contribution to the 1966 Republican victor^." Victor Smith, Republican state chairman for Illinois has this to say: "Phyllis has been one of the most dedicated and talented leaders of our Republican party. On occasions when we have asked for her help she has cooperated with our state central committee and I have formed a high regard for her political integrity. "Phyllis has always been a loyal Republican. She has my support in her candidacy for president of the Federation." One of Mrs. Schlafly* s talents which is particularly appreciated by her fellow Republicans is her expertise as a presiding officer. Because of her facility in handling lengthy agendas and had tables, she has chaired some of the most successful banquets and fund-raising rallies in Illinois. Mrs. Schlafly is the mother of six children, ages 2 to 16. Asked if these responsibilities have teen a handicap in her political work, "On the contrary," Mrs. Schlafly replied, "my six children are the six reasons why I am in politics. They are my stake in the future of our country. Furthermore, the job of managing a large family, and coping with the constant crises and human problems which arise, is the best training in the world for politics and for administration." The few who have been publicly concerned about Mrs. Schlafly's children being neglected because of her Republican activities can now be at ease. Her oldest son, John, aged 16, has just been named a finalist in the National Merit Scholarship competition, which puts him in the upper one half of one per cent of all high school seniors in the United States. Mrs. Schlafly's supporters say that her handsome young children are a tremendous asset to Republicanism. "She brings the image of youth, vitality, and dedication to the Republican party," said one admirer. Another insisted, "She attracts young women to the Federation as honey attracts flies. Young women want to belong to an organization which has young women in leadership positions. And besides, who can plead she doesn't have time for politics when we have before us the example of Phyllis?" Mrs. Schlafly has women her national interests into her everyday home life so that her children are growing up with political responsibility as part of their daily lives. When she goes door-to-door working her precinct (she is an elected precinct committeeman), she takes along all her children to distribute literature. She concluded: "I think the favorable impression this made on the voters caused my precinct in 1966 to have the largest Republican vote in its history, so far as I have been able to determine." How does Mrs.^Schlafly's husband, Fred, a busy and successful lawyer, react to her many absences from home? Mrs. Schlafly says:" Without his constant support and encouragement, I could not do what I have done. And besides, Fred has to make the living in order that my activities are financially possible." Mrs. Schlafly is reputed to be one of the finest women speakers in the United States and could command a handsome honorarium for her appearances. Yet, she has never taken a fee for any Republican speech, and all her many political position^ have been in a nonpaid volunteer capacity. Why, then, does she discipline herself to the time-consuming and tiresome tasks exacted by the many positions she has- held? "There are only two rewards I want from politics," she replied. "First, the satisfaction of knowing I did all in my power to give my children the opportunity to grow up in a free and independent America. And seconly, the satisfaction of knowing j -Tony clearly shows the folly of the "allowance" plan. So stop such unAmerican methods and launch your child on the "pay-for-work" system. Otherwise, you promote the dangerous "dole" psychology that generates hostility to parents. By all means urge toys to carry a newspaper route! If s the best "Free Enterprise" training any youngsters receive in America nowadays I B|y - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M. D. CASE C-509: Tony L., aged 11, is grumbling about lack of enough spending money. "Dr. Crane," his doting mother began, "Tony is rebellious and hostile to his daddy and me. "For he says we don't give him enough spending money. "He says all the other children in his school get much more than we give him. 'But his daddy thinks $2 per week is enough for a sixth grader to spend on sodas and POP. "So what should we do?" that I tried my best to articulate the hopes and the ideals of the grassroots Republicans who have put their faith in me. Ibelieve that Party loyalty must flow down as well as up. I intend with all my strength toremain loyal to the grassroots Republican women who have elected me to high office and chosen me to be their spokesman." It is no wonder the women rally to her standard by the hundreds and the thousands. This trend is sure to accelerate in future years. t m c BEWARE THE "DOLE" Tony's j) arents should cutoff his allowance entirely! For the "allowance" plan is psychologically unwise! It produces the "dole" psychology which now afflicts millions of adult Americans, too. And the recipients of doles, whether in childhood or as political pawns, may soon turn on the hand that feeds them! Notice the hostility of Tony! Children need to have moneyn so they will learn how to spend it wisely and also handle a budget. But "gift" money is not the answer. It encourages the "Easy come; easy go "philosophy. In America, our children MUST learn that money stands for minted human life. It represents hours of toil and sweat and blisters and deprivation from play time. But make jobs available to your youngsters. Then adopt the piecework plan. Scotchtape a dime on each windowsill, which your child can then possess if he neatly washes that window. Allot other fair rates of pay for similar chores around the house, such as ironing the flat work, making beds, carrying out garbage, washing dishes, polishing daddy's shoes or giving you parents a 10-minute head massage at night. By this "earnedmoney" plan, yo& eliminate such quarrels as Tony has started. For then a child has "ceiling unlimited" as to his spending money. If he is broke, then he can't blatne his dad or mother! For he can earn $3 or even $5 per weekaif he does enough chores. Some smart mothers combine marketing with this plan to reward their youngsters for proficient work. They employ the prices -of groceries at nearby stores as the basis. If the child wishes to walk a few blocks to a supermarket to buy butter at 5 cents a pound less than she pays at the nearby store, then the youngster is entitled to the 5 cent profit per pound. Same goes for sugar and coffee, bananas, etc.' Thus, the child startsVatching newspaper ads for bargains. He soon finds that merchants often reduce prices greatly on certain "leaders" to attract trade, which your children soon learn to capitalize on. And carrying a newspaper route is supberb training for all boys in our "free enterprise" system!

BEWE1 lEmESENTAIIM and ELIMINATION of OVER-TAXATION That on Tuesday, April 4, 1967, the important Township election will be held? The issues in this election are clear and simple, namely ^BETTER REPRESENTATION and elimination of OVER-TAXATION. Bfittfif The "independent" incumbents deliberately and willfully failed to call a caucus for the Democratic Parly, as required by law (Chapter 139 Section 59a, Illinois Revised Sta- • tutes). They denied the Democrat a voice in choosing candidates for the Township elec- Kepresentation tions; / Over Taxation Township Roads During the fiscal year 1965-66 (published report of May 26, 1966) the balance carried over plus additional tax revenues brought the General Assistance Fund to $93,728.18. However, the total expenditure for general assistance for that period was only $3,104.01! Thijs accumulation of tax money has created a surplus, and the taxpayer should be aware thai he has been over-taxed for the last three years! (The General Assistance Fund was so large that $20,000 was permanently transferred to the Town Fund!) In the 17 townships in McHenry County, oitr township budgeted cost per mile of road is $2,529.41, or slightly more than twice the average of the other townships in the county! For this rather costly charge per mile of road we get only 10 months of road maintenance annually. Is it unreasonable to ask for 12 months of service and a fulltime Road Commissioner? GM Administration Costs Township administration costs have incrased about $2,700 each year for the last two years and yet, in spite of increasing costs, thp incumbents maintain offices away from the township building where offices are available. Announcing BuicEcps new GS-340. (The minipriced GS-400.) Hiese irregularities in our Township government cost you money! You can save your tax money and get more for your taxes by VOTING on Tuesday, April 4, 1967, for: If you road the papers, you know how great our nowfamous GS-400 is. yt's the one in the background.) And you also know you don't get a GS-100 for peanuts. It's a great car. But it's just a little rich for some people. So we set to work and designed the GS-310. It has a smaller engine (but the whole machine weighs less'. Its interior is clean and simple and tasteful. And it has its own ornamentation, paint job (see the rally"" stripe and hood scoops?;, and, of course, all the GM safety features. So now you have a car that costs less than the GS-100, but one with its own special brand of excitement. How can you beat that kind of a cdtnbination?
