fG. 2, SEC. 2 - PLAIN DEALER - AUG. 31, 1967 Library System Growth Rapid growth of regional library systems throughout Illinois and the enthusiasm with which they have been accepted nay convince legislators of the need for providing additional foods for their support. Two years ago the General Assembly appropriated $4.5 MilHon to establish and develop this new program, designed to spread more library services and materials throughoid the state. Since then seventeen networks have been formed. Gits of the first to be organized was the Northern Illinois Library System of which the McHenry Public Library is a member. This network has already-grown to include forty-three cooperating libraries in an eleven-county^rea. A board of directors, chosen from the "participating libraries, determines the operation of the system. „ The system provides its members with new books, disc and tape recordings, films, film strips, slides, framed art reproductions, periodicals and pamphlets. The headquarters library also responds to requests for reference searches and materials. Card holders of any one member library are privileged to use all Other libraries in the system. ^ l % The success of the Northern Illinois Library System should assure legislators that the system concept of more library sei - vice for all represents a sound investment'of state funds. Research Of Government Much of the research sponsored and paid for by the government, is simply a new kind of leaf-raking for a different kind of people. And we have in mind the grant of $5,000 by the National Endowment for the Humanities to complete a study of the varnish BflAH by Stradivari us in making his incomparable violins in the 18th century. Granting that it is worth knowing, it is doubtful it seems to us, that the expense of finding out is properly chargeable to the taxpayer. Maybe he doesn't care whether the violin is varnished. In a letter to the Wall Street Journal, Joseph B. Heitman of Tacoma, Wash., notes that the formula and procedure for preparing the Stradivarian varnish was published by Joseph Michelman in 1950 in volume 112 of Science on pages 337 and 338. Much of the modern research, we conclude, is a kind of leaf-raking for a different class of people. And in at least some cases they don't know and obviously dont care much whether the , leaves are new or seventeen years old - so long as they provide an excuse for raking. GUIDELINES BOYS: 1.

PUBLIC PULSE BOOSTING MCHENRY "Dear Editor, "As a new family to McHenry, I felt I must express our appreciation to the citizens of McHenry for the concert we heard Aug. 17 in the ptty park. We had known of the concerts, but typical of farm families always seemed to have some important farm work that had to be done. After our pleasant experience of hearing this outstanding Stage Band, you may be sure that next year our family will probably plan our work so that the concerts can be enjoyed by the whole family. "The merchants of McHenry, our welcome fay "Royal Welcome," the various civic affairs we have attended, and our wonderful new neighbors have made our move to McHenry a most rewarding exl e proud of, and we'll be some of your proudest boosters. "Most sincerely, "Mrs. Betty M. Plane "1205 S. Rte 31 "McHenry, 111." Z)ke lAJottg I C linic ' (Loren faces the job of having to be "wet nurse" to a lot of workers who are immature, inexperienced and evenemotionally unstable. No wonder bosses get ulcers! For they often deal with overgrown juveniles who lack the viewpoint of management! So hire people who possess more of that executive outlook, using the tests below! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., MJ>. CASE D-543: Loren G., aged 46, is an employment manager for a large factory. "Dr. Crane," he began, "absenteeism and labor turnover are two of our main causes of inefficiency. "Many employees get drunk over Sunday and thus don't show up on Monday. "Then they try to cover if> their misconduct by saying they are sick. "That is perhaps true enough, for they have hangovers and upset digestive tracts. "And other workers who claim to be experienced, are actually but novices at their jobs! They ruin so riiuch material that they add tothe costs. "So how can we reduce these causes of industrial inefficiency?" INDUSTRIAL PSYCHOLOGY We have some excellent psychological tests to help weed out the unfit workers, plus the emotionally unstable. But here are also some shortcut, "horse sense" yardsticks by which to reduce industrial inefficiency; (1) Hire workers who are definitely ACTIVE in a local church! For such men and women are not likely to be alcoholics or two-timing their mates. And certain church denominations are very anti-alcohol, such as the Mormons, the Baptists, the Methodists, Quakers and others. So place a premium on such job applicants! (2) Pick workers who have formerly operated their own small businesses or forms or households. For such people understand the viewpoint of management and thus try harder to cooperate. They have had to plan and oversee and balance their own books, so they don't have the gullible average American's misconception of "gross" profit vs. "net." One reason why industries are now flocking to the South is to obtain their employees from the farms down there. Those farmers are versatile men, having operated not only their own land, but are do-ityourself carpenters, electri- -ofall- trades. Wives, too, have far more of the management attitude than young women who haven't yet had to run a household on a budget and do the planning for their husbands and children. (3) Choose workers who are oldBr, even above the age of 45. For they remember the "depression" years and thus are inclined to be more frugal, careful and economical of materials as well as company time! Alas, too many bosses get enamoured of nitwit stenographers whose work output is less but whose anatomical "measurements" entice the eye of the "old goat" employers! (4) Analyze the participation score at prospective workers in civic organizations like the PTA, Boy Scouts, Camp Flrtf Girls, Little League Baseball and YMCA. (5) Avoid smokers! For they turn out less work, due to time out for smokes. They also produce a lot of "accidental9* fires, and die five years early. For further precise yardsticks, send for toe "Tests for Employers and Employees," enclosing a stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents.
