CITIZEN'S RIGHTS "Dear Editor: "In some Illinois communities there is a drive on to force local residents who have a car which is not in use, but parked on their own premises, to either apply for the 1967 Illinbis license plates or face arrest. "I could readily see the reason for such an ordinance being enforced if the car were not intact, or if the car parts were littering the premises, thus rendering it an eye-sore to the community. But I fail to see how a license plate would enhance the beauty of the car or the property involved. "It is my firm belief that a guide-line should be established (by our state laws) to differentiate between a car parked on your own property for a good reason and that of the property being used as a junk yard. "These people may have legitimate reasons for keeping a second car -- such as to license and use in the event the car now in use breaks down, or perhaps the car is being kept to be licensed and used by a man who is returning from the Armed Services who has been away defending our country and our rights. "Is this a crime or a violation? I believe our civil rights THERE are being violated in being subjected to this kind of treatment, threatened with arrest, inconvenienced by having to go to court, to ascertainyour right to keep a car on your property without a license plate on it. "I am aware of a state law requiring a license plate displayed on each vehicle that is being used on public streets and highways, but I know of no state law whereby you are required, under penalty of the law, to display a license plate <m a vehicle that.is not in use. "I would like to know if city ordinances and county laws have more authority than state laws to enforce on car owners and residents of the state of Illinois.- "Perhaps some readerhas a comment on the legality of this situation or an attorney or public official may enlighten us as to our rights. Meanwhile I have written my Senator.; "Elva Dunn" " il09 N. River Road "McHenry.

WAGE-HOUR SUIT PILED AGAINST MCHENRY FIRM Chicago, Illinois - Secretary of Labor W. Wiilard Wirtz has asked the U. S. District court in Chicago for an order permanently enjoining Joseph Frett Son, Inc. >2819 West Route "120, McHenry, from future violations of the overtime pay and record keeping provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act-- the federal wage and hour law. Hie court also was asked to restrain the company from withholding payment of overtime wages which may be found by the court to be due to the defendant's employees under the act. The company is an enterprise within the meaning of the Act, and employs many workers who are engaged in the construction, reconstruction, maintenance, repair, alteration, and rehabilitation of structures and buildings , some of which are used for the production of goods which move in interstate commerce. *The complaint alleges that the construction firm failed to pay many employees for overtime compensation at time and onehalf their regular rates of pay, and failed to maintain adequate and accurate records of hours worked and wages paid. The court action was based on an investigation by the United States Department of Labor's Wage and Hour and Public Contracts divisions under the supervision of Earl F. Halverson, regional director. The COOK'S CORNER By Marie Schaettgen Most men like hash well browned and they also like the idea of using UP the leftovers. It does help the food budget. Try this hash. BROWNED HASH 1 cup chopped cooked beef (not too fine) 1 cup boiled potatoes diced 1 small onion thinly sliced and precooked in butter 1 tsp. salt &tsp. pepper 1 Tbsp. milk 1 Tbsp. shortening Vi tsp. mixed vegetable flakes Mix all ingredients thoroughly, spread mixture evenly in hot frying pan in which fat has been placed. Cook without stirring until crust is formed on tile bottom. Fold over like an ojnelet and place on a hot plater. Or turn over like a panc §He and brown other side. S^rve very hot. Nothing is less appetizing than lukewarm hash! Serves two. Drivers Seat You're driving along a country highway on a beautiful sun-shiny day, and thoroughly enjoying it. Traffic is light, so you're driving right at the speed linrtit. An experienced driver, you're alert to the road and the world around you. Suddenly a car pulls out from a side road into your lane of traffic. The road had been partially hidden by the tall corn along the side of the road, and you saw the other car just long enough to know that it hadn't stopped. You .try to stop, but end up slamming into the rear of the other car. Who's at fault? You, for driving too fast for conditions? Possibly. The other guy, for failing to yield the right-of-way? Possibly, but there was no stop or yield sign at the intersection. It would seem that either driver would have a legitimate gripe against being found "negligent" in this accident, but somebody must be at fault, right? Right! And it might very well be the local government that had the responsibility for maintenance of that intersection. In accident cases involving inadequate traffic controls, the courts are increasingly finding municipalities liable for the victims' damages. If it were proved that a stop or yield sign was needed at this intersection, the courts could hold the local government liable. Municipalities have been found liable in recent accident JUNE 22, 1967 - PLAINDEALER - SEC; f, I cases in Washington state, where the judgment was $16,- 000, in New York state ($67,- 500 and $66,000), in Kentucky ($5,000) and in California ($1,000, settled out of court). In an accident case last year in Wisconsin involving the collision of two cars at an internsection where a stop sign was missing, Rock county was sued for $1,000,000 by one of the victims. Had thecounty been assessed that amount by the court, its residentswould have had to pay the judgment through a bond issue or increased taxes. The danger that inadequate traffic signs pose to you as a driver is obvious. More subtle is the danger they pose to you as a taxpayer. It's far cheaper to pay taxes for good traffic signs than it is to pay taxes to settle a large accident liability claim, and it's partially up to you to convince your city, county or state government of this.
