% PG. 10, - PLAINDEALER-WED., FEB. 14, 1968 FREE GRANDSTAND IS APPROVED FOR '68 COUNTY FAIR- • A change in the arrangement for season tickets and admission to the grandstand has been approved by Mc Henry County Fair association board of directors for the 1968 McHenry County Fair. At its meeting last week the board approved Aug. 1-4 as dates for the 1968 Fair, Hie board raised the price of season tickets from $2 to $3, but voted to have all grandstand attractions free. For 1868 there will ba no charge to any of the grandstand events, President Don Hansen said. The change is one which the board has considered for the past several years and is in keeping with the trend to provftte many attractions for fair visitors at an economical price. The fair attracts people from throughout McHenry county and is built around exhibits by persons of the 21 years and under class. The open class show is one of the features of the fair although the number of people who participate is smaller than it might be. Attention this year will be focused in calling the many open class categories to the attention of all citizens under 21. The 4-H exhibitors comprise only one facet of the fair. In addition, the fair has educational exhibits and other attractions for persons of all ages. In one livestock category change the fair board has approved a classification for Charloais cattle in the beef category. This breed is growing in popularity in the area and McHenry county has Charloais cattle raised here. • , i The board heard discussion cm the possibility of forming a harness racing circuit especially for county fairs and board pnembers expressed approval of following through on this sugjstion. It would take effect in 1969 if the thirty-four county fairs in Northern Illinois which have harness racing tracks decide to cooperate on this venture. » Tom Husmaim, McHenry, member of the board of supervisors, asked help of the fair association in calling attention to the Mstory book on McHenry county which is in production. Huemanh would like to have a booth at the fair to sell this history book and the fair board approved cooperating With this venture.

SHOP IN MCHENRY City Council • Unchanged On Court Location (Continued from page 1) no change of facts to alter members' opinion and consequently |heir stand remained as it was expressed in October. Action at that time eliminated the Austin and fairground sites and favored a downtown location. At a meeting between the Council, the Building commission and Chairman Dean, the latter said he could not justify the expenditure of three-quar-, ter million dollars for four acres downtown when it was possible to obtain 40 acres for $100,000 on the edge of the city or 17 acres at the fairgrounds for $220,000. m McCLORY PORTS.. i'l UMEMBIR", DY THE OLD TIMER J§ From Mrs. L Wdnbauer, St Louis, Missouri: I remember when my mother bought 3 dozen eggs at Easter for 25c -- a pound of coffee beans, roasted, was 15c -- porter-, house steak, 20c a pound -- a pound of ground meat was 15c and the butcher chopped it on the wooden block with two cleavers, as he had no meat grinder. Soup bone with marrow and meat on it sold for 5c. Three heads of lettuce sold for 10c. When I was 15 years old, I worked for an old couple, for $4 a month--cleaned 5 rooms, did the shopping, cooking. In winter I carried coal to the second floor for three coal stoves, logs for a wood-burning stove. Every two weeks I did washing and ironing, for which I earned 50c extra. • * • From Garnet Hill, Seagoville, Texas: One of the things I remember best of life on the farm is good, but eccentric neighbors. One never dug his potatoes until another neighbor had done so. No matter how many bushels the first neighbor made, the other neighbor always made more. I remember a neighbor telling of his experience with a snake. He said: " I retched up in the barn loft, rooked down some hay and out came a girt big snake." Another clinched his argument about the birth date of his son: "I well remember. Hoss was born during the July flood in September 1900. Several recent decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court should arouse citizens to the real threat of Communist influences within our nation. The most disturbing case involved a cardcarrying Communist defense worker named Eugene Robel. In that case the Court held, in essence, that the Congress was constitutionally incapable of barring such a person from defense plants unless it could be shown that he was actively engaged in espionage or sabotage. Subsequent to this decision, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover issued a report on the Communist Party activities in our Nation. Director Hoover stated that the Communist Party, U.S.A. can look back on 1967 with a degree of satisfaction. He points to the active participation of the Communists in the anti-Vietnam war demonstrations in New York City, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. as well as their support of disturbances on our college campuses and involvement in riots in the cities of America. It has been a common practice of demagogues to designate those with whom they disagree as "Communists" or "Fascists" and it is not the intent of this member of congress to indulge in such a practice. On the other hand, it would seem foolhardy for the American people and their Representatives in the Congress to ignore the international Communist conspiracy to disriqjt and destroy our nation -- from within -- and to move closer to its goal of world conquest. FBI Director Hoover states Slioriier From Washington accurately that "Communism thrives on chaos.'9 Communists in America seek to advance their aims and purposes by becoming involved in such popular issues as youth movements, labor problems and the cause of peace. The rigid dictation enforced on Communist party members was made apparent in our nation during the recent Middle East crisis when the Soviet Union "condemned" Israel. Even those Communist party members of Jewish background were forced to accept the anti-Israeli stand which the Soviet party leaders in Moscow had adopted. It is frightening indeed to contemplate that the Supreme court seeks to distinquish between "good" and "bad" Communists - a distinction which is difficult to detect and define. Any law enacted by Congress is rendered virtually incapable of successful enforcement by limiting its effect to "bad" Communists, As Supreme Court Justices White and Harlan declared in their dissenting opinion: "Congress should be entitled to take suitable precautionary measures.. .they (Communist party members) should be excludable from employment in defense plants which Congress and the Secretary of Defense consider of critical importance to the security of the country." The effect of the majority opinion is to render unconstitutional and virtually worthless the Subversive Activities Control Act. It is hoped that this Act may be revised and implemented in a manner which The Drivers Seat It's nearly midnight, you're tired and here you are 20 miles from home, humming along State highway 30. Even the disc jockey is yawning. It is a moonless night, so black that you feel as if you are adrift and motionless in a sea of darkness; Then, all in an instant, you detect a faint suggestion of movement in the semi-darkness ahead of your bright headlights beams, your foot leaps to the brake pedal as your lights illuminate a trainof boxcars hurtling across the road, and you jolt to a halt at the end of 200 feet will satisfy an enlightened Supreme Court and will insure internal defense against Communist attacks aimed at the very institutions which assure our freedom and security. of skid marks, 20 feet from almost certain death. A total of 1,340 people were killed in collisions between motor vehicles and railroad "vehicles" at grade crossings during 1963 -- eight percent more than 1962. As a result of a consistently high death toll, the clamor for protecting motorists against deadly car-train collisions is reaching a crescendo, and authorities are offering various proposals. The South Dakota State Highway department is considering installation of street lights on each side of grade crossings. Joseph H. Wright, vice president of the Illinois Central, has recommended that Illinois replace the traditional cross-buck sign with standard red, octagonal stop signs. Installation of stopj signs at 600 Michigan grade crossings reduced motor vehicle accidents by 85 percent and deaths by 98 percent. Another step was proposed just before the end of the year by the San Bernardino county (Calif.) Traffic Safety committee in these words: "Since nighttime visibility of railroad rolling stock is apparently a problem at isolated crossings, it is the opinion of the committee that the Public Utilities Commission should embark upon a program requiring the reflectorization of the sides of all railroad rolling stock in the state of California." It isn't a new idea. The Western Pacific Railway Co. is only the most recent of at least 14 railroads that use reflective materials ' to mark the railroad's name or numbers and letters on roiling stock. The glowing letters that seem to be branded on the darkness are eye-catching advertising - and they save lives. DAMAGE SUIT « LeRoy Morck has brought a $30,000 suit against Peter Nichols, seeking compensation for injuries Morck claims he received in February of 1966 when his car, the Nichols auto and a third vehicle were involved in an auto crash on Rt. 120.
