Everything in nature is emerging from hibernation, and so are you. For the birds, the bees and the bears, it is a season of replenishment after a long famine. Consider the bear. All through the winter, he has slept in a cave. When he wakes in the spring, he is thin and flabby. While you didn't exactly sleep the winter away, you didn't starve either. So if s more than likely - given the combination of heavy winter eating and little exercise - that you're flabby, all right; fat and flabby. r Before you plunge headlong into a strenuous workout to work off the bulges, heed these words of advice from your Heart association. Why not start by getting a complete physical examination? You feel fine, you say? If your doctor confirms that statement, you're off to a good starts If something is wrong - weight, blook pressure, blood cholesterol too high -- early detection and prompt treatment can put you back on the road to good health. A regular checkup is the first step recommended by heart specialists for men who are in the age brackets when coronary disease becomes a major threat -say, age 35 and over. Regular physical examinations are helpful in spotting early changes. They open the way to treatment which can reduce the risk of serious trouble. Even after you've been given a clean bill of health by your doctor, it is wiser to work up gradually to strenuous activity -- be it work or play -- after a long sedentary layoff, your Heart association says. Don't try to cram all the big jobs around the house into the first balmy weekend, and then top them off with a fast game of tennis. Get into action by walking and doing ! some of the easier gardening chores at first. When you're in better condition, the bigger jobs won't overtax your muscles -- and that includes your heart muscle. This way your spring spruce-up can work in two ways: you and your home will both be the better for it. Newspaper Trade Area The trade area of a newspaper is something unique. The newspaper's trade area is the creature of many things, but only the local newspaper touches it totally. The trade are i is not bound by county lines, or even state lines. It may be a limited section within a great city. But whether it encompasses counties or a dozen city blocks, the trade area is established by the circulation of the local newspaper. The expansion and cohesion of the trade area now are controlled by the contents of the area newspaper. Because of news stories, the problems of a distant rancher, become problems of the retailer in the business center. Because of personal items in the newspaper, people from every strata share experiences of joy and sorrow. _Because of editorials and articles dealing^ with common" iptOMeWs, isolated iiMrviduMis - become* involved CitiZeftB*" -'v.!*.. T ».«**.•' Because of the Advertising :<*f retail and service enterprises, the families of the area begin to feel that personal friends will welcome them in the trads center. The trade area is never a static thing. It changes as the lives of the people change. It changes with industry, farming, transportation and migration. It may contract or e^ipand. It may prosper or wither. When communication within a trade area breaks down, the trade area tends to lose its identity and vitality. When comunication is free and full in strong retail advertising in a vigorous hometown newspaper, the trade area is likely to grow in unity and size. f k •» by larry e. lund n wo FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 5, 1928) H.T. East, assistant to the vice president in charge of the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois, gave a very interesting talk on "Stock and Bonds" before the McHenry Community high school. The attendance was 150. One of McHenry's old and well known residents, Mrs. Arminda Frances Falbot Colby, age 82, passed away atthehome of Mr. and Mrs. W.E. Colby at Waukegan March 28 after being stricken with paralysis a few days previous to her death. Mr. and Mrs. Will Whiting and little son narrowly escaped serious injury whentheir car in which they were riding was struck in a head on collision by a car driven by B. Popp. Mr. and Mrs. Larry Huck and James Doherty went to Chicago and were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jabber Young, Friday evening, where they saw the final boxing tournament of the Chicago Athletic association held at the Chicago Athletic club. This was one of the big events of the reason and some high formed at the Methodist church in Wauconda. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Weber and Mr. and Mrs. Louis Nimsgern attended a dinner dance atthe Wauconda Beach hotel Saturday evening. It was given for winners in a recent contest. Jeppe C. Jepsen of Route I, McHenry, has been selected a winner for his entry in the recent contest sponsored by Prairie Farmer magazine on the subject, "Why am I proud of the good old USA." The "Yanks" and eighth grade class club at the public grade school, is undertaking a scrap drive April 14. This is in conjunction with the national scrap drive scheduled for that day with our major in charge. M.L. Schoenholtz is in charge of the "Yanks" who will be aided by the sixth and seventh grades. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Williams of Ringwood will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding April 11. Members and friends of the Lake County Symphony orchestra attended the recent dinner .party atthe Glen Flora Country S$utj in Honor of their president, Their main project now is to prepare to fly-up to Girl Scouting. Mrs. Peter Griesbach is leader and Mrs. Clarence Regner and Mrs. William Keller are co-leaders of the troup. Two local youths are among thirty-six students enrolled in the Navy Reserve Officers Training corps at the University of Wisconsin who took part in a training cruise on Lake Michigan this past weekend. They were R.G. Ullrich of Huemann's subdivision and R.C. Voss of Orchard Beach. Arrangements" have been made for Mrs. Doris Bauer Andreas to join her husband, Pfc. Duane Andreas, who is stationed in Goppingen, Germany. In visiting with Chester Goodman we learned that the Plaindealer has been delivered into the Goodman home for the past sixty-four years. Mrs. Maude Peet, a longtime resident of the McHenry area, died March 21 at the age of 77. This week-end, voters of the McHenry Community high school district 156 and those in the McHenry grade school district 15 will be asked to go to the polls and elect members to the boards of education. In the grade school board election (District 15) three persons are running for two vacantr seats on the board. Hie terms are for three years. Hie three persons seeking these two seats are John 0. Mclntyre, Dorothy M. Vick and John M. Coughlin. The high school board election (District 156) has five persons vying for two seats on that board for terms of three years each. Hopefuls for the board are Elizabeth M. Nolan, Dr. Leslie W. Krieger, Jr., Edward A. Guettler, Lloyd Freund and Clint Claypool. Brief sketches of all persons running for both boards appear in this issue of the paper. The people who serve on the boards of education must be sincere and dedicated persons. They serve without pay, strictly on their own time, and without much thanks except to have the satisfaction that the education they have helped to provide for the young people of this community is the best that they and we, as taxpayers, can provide. We do not believe that any of the persons now serving on the board or those who are hoping to in the future have any hopes of gaining a personal or political gain from these positions. The hours spent on meetings undoubtedly would scare off all but the strongest and the complaints they receive are many. But as we have heard someone say, "It all comes with the job." With the strongest kind of words, we would like to encourage each and every person to vote in these elections. As we have all heard and said so many times, we should all exercise our right to vote.. Vote for those people whom you feel will most likely carry out your wishes while they are in office. It becomes harder and harder for us to understand anyone who complains about the operation of any level of government who does not vote when they have a chance to do so. Those who vote, are in effect saying how they want things to be run in the future. So, please, vote in this and every election in the future. Learn about the people who are running for position. Know what they stand for. Stand up and .be counted. School boards in McHenry are entrusted with spending more money by far' more than any other institution, public or private, in the entire area. They have a great responsibility. . . but so do we!

Tax Burden Formula Illinois taxpayers rank fifth among those of the fifty states and Washington, D.C. in per capita allocation of the federal budget for fiscal 1969. Per capita amounts are more in Delaware, Connecticut, Washington D.C., and New York. On a per person basis, the $187 billion the Federal government estimates it will spend infiscal 1969will come to $940 per American. Illinois taxpayers' per capita amount is $1,169. Recently released by Tax Foundation, Inc., this information is determined from the new federal budget figures which this year will include not only "regular" budget spending, but spending from trust funds for social security, highways, etc. The $186 billion of expenditures represents an increase of $10.5 billion, or $53 per American, over what is expected to be spent in fiscal 1968. This new spending figure is $28 billion higher than for fiscal 1967. On the new budget basis, total 1969 receipts are estimated at $178 billion - if a proposed tax increase is approved. This compares to receipts of $156 billion in fiscal 1968; $150 billion in 1967. The state-by-state figures are determined by a formula for distribution of the tax burden. It takes into account that tobacco taxes, for example, are largely gathered in three states, but that the burden falls on people in all states where the cigarettes are bought. "The Romance of Sleepy Valley", a 7 reel motion picture produced by the American Farm Bureau Federation will be presented at the high school auditorium Monday evening. This is an interesting picture, especially to farmers.

The Constitution of the United States provides that if a majority of the electoral votes is not received by either Party's presidential and vice-presidential candidates, "the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representatives from each state having one vote: '***" This language requires that if the electoral votes of the Republican and Democratic nominees are approximately equally , divided, with a third candidate controlling the balr ance of the electoral votes, then the 435 members of the U.S. tjouse, voting by State delegations, may select the next President. Voting by state delegations means that each state shall cast a single vote in accordance with the decision of a majority of the members ofthe respective state delegations. In the event Illinois continues to be divided equallytwelve Democrats and twelve Republicans -the Illinois delegation's vote would be tied, with no vote being cast. On the other hand both Alaska and Nevada, having one Representative-at- Large, would be entitled to cast one vote each. Several authorities have indicated the further remotepossibility that no candidate would receive a majority (26 votes) in the U.S. House of Representatives. In such a situation, the Constitution provides: "if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March nejct following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of death or other constitutional disability of the President." In naming a Vice President in such case, the Constitution authorizes the Senate to determine this choice from those two who received the highest number of electoral votes. It should be recalled that the House of Representatives has twice selected the President when neither of the two leading candidates received a majority of the electoral votes. In 1800, Thomas Jefferson was selected over Aaron Burr. Again in 1824 the U.S. House of Repre- For Your Information Drar friends. On this glorious Easter - these eternal words of St. Francis: Lord, make us instruments of Thy peace; Where (there is hatred, let me so love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is donbt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is sadness, joy; Grant that we may not seek so much to be consoled, as to console; To be understood, as to understand. To be loved, as to love. Sincerely, McHenry, Illinois PETER M.JUSFEN & SON FtJNEim M0ME . 385-0063 McCLORY REPORTS From Washington sentatives named John Adams over Andrew Jackson. The distinct possibility that the next President may be named by the U.S. House of Representatives suggests the need to give particular attention to the makeup of the United States House <^fL Representatives. House members will be able to vote for their party's candidate for President only if a majority ofthe state's delegation belongs to the same political party. In the event neither major political party's candidate receives a majority of twenty-six votes, then there will be real danger that a "deal" might be worked out between third party nominee and the candidate of one of the major parties. The consequences of such a "deal" could be quite disastrous. ft sedms appropriate alfco W question1 the "wisdonV of voting' for the candidate of a third party. Hie chance of electing such a candidate is extremely large. The danger inherent in providing such a candidate with electoral vote leverage is very real and could result in the selection of a President contrary to the will of a majority of the American people. Fear of the election being thrown into the House of Representatives has prompted this member, among others, to introduce a constitutional amendment ( H.J. Res. 1153) to provide that each Representative shall have one vote; andthatthe House shall choose between the two persons receiving the highest numbers of electoral votes on the lists of those voted for as President. The same procedure would apply in the selection of the vice-president by the Senate. This of course, would provide a greatly improved method for electing the President and Vice-President, but it is Quite clear that the amendment - even if approved by the UJS. House and Senate - has small likelihood of taking effect prior to the 1968 presidential election. The amendment would still have to be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures, a constitutional requirement whichprobably would be impossible of fulfillment prior to November, 1968.

COHO MADNESS A malady new to Illinois but common in the state of Michigan has stricken many anglers living in the state, the Illinois Department of Conservation points out. The ailment is known as Coho madness. It is caused by the thought of tangling with coho sa)mon in the waters of southern Lake Michigan where the fish gather in spring to feed on the alewife. The malady leads sane people to do irrational acts such as venturing out on Lake Michigan in craft that would not be safe on a farm pond. "No one should try to reach the offshore shoal areas, where the salmon congregate, in less than a 16-foot boat," William T. Lodge, department director said. "This would be the minimum length. An 18- or 20-foot boat would be much better. Have plenty of freeboard and a transom at least 20 inches high." j<nra« d»irmTriTrmirri'i n» s i mnrrr. Are You New In Town?
