McHENRY LEGION POST SPONSORS AREA THEATRE McHenry is soon to boast its • own dinner theatre. The American Legion in McHenry, ever on the alert for interesting ways to entertain its crowds, is sponsoring the event. Theatre-goers will be treated to a complete dinner with all the trimmings, plus a full length three-act comedy "In-The Round" in true dinner theatre style. In addition, cocktails will be served through out the evening Sunday, May 26. As in every project sponsored by McHenry's legion post, proceeds will be used for its numerous programs to benefit the community, including sponsorship of the baseball team which the post sponsors. The play is the hilarious comedy, "Under the Yum-Yum Tree". It was a smash Broadway triumph, which has since been made into a popular movie success. A touring group known as The Troupe and composed of professional level players with many years of experience behind them have been booked by the Legion for the performance. Producing and directing The Troupe is J.J. BUTLER (Hogan in Yum- Yum Tree), a veteran theatrical personality in McHenry county for many years. His work as a director and performer are well known to thousands in the area. He has performed in all the Chicago area theatres, acting with some of the biggest names in theatre and the movies. He is currently running on several TV commercials in Chicago and throughout the US. McHenry playgoers will remember him as the mute king in "Once Upon a Mattress". In Crystal Lake he produced several musicals at the Lake theatre and in Woodstock he recently directed "Come Blow Your Horn". "Under the Yum-Yum Tree" was carefully chosen for the grand opening of the dinner theatre because of its ability to be received by the entire family. The delightful chalet on North Ringwood road, which is the American Legion home, is converting its second floor ballroom into an intimate dinner theatre for the occasion. Its already lovely decor and beautiful colored lighting system will be further enhanced by a decorative table arrangement serving parties of two, four, six and up.

Closed Mondays Township government took action with week to follow through on the recent- United States Supreme Court ruling on the one-man, one-vote principle of electing local governmental officials. At the spring meeting of the board of directors of the Township Officials of Illinois, held at Olney on April 27, the township officials association voted to appoint a committee to make an intensive study of the court ruling as it affects township representation on county boards throughout downstate Illinois. The committee will make its recommendations for further action when the association board meets again this summer. "There are two basic considerations regarding the Supreme Court ruling, so far as township government is concerned," said Troy A. Kost, executive secretary of the township association. "One is that the ruling really affects the structure of county government rather than township government, since it applies only to the representation of township supervisors and assistant supervisors on county boards. and then only in downstate counties where this type of representation now exists." "This leads to the second consideration that in no way, shape or manner does the ruling change the structure of township government, nor affect its powers as a strong unit of local government," Kost stated. "We are not totally pleased with the decision," Kost added, "since we believe that a good inter-relationship among local governments is desirable and often necessary. This ruling could reduce that4 beneficial inter-relationship, and, moreover, might replace'citizen representation' on county boards with that of 'professional politician' representation." The ruling is not likely to affect Cook county, it was pointed out, since townships in the suburban areas of Cook county are not now directly represented on the county board. This board is elected on a countywide basis, with two-thirds of the members coming from the city of Chicago, and one-third from suburban areas. John J. Nimrod, president of the Cook County Township officials association, reported that township officials in Cook county are presently seeking and finding ways to strengthen inter-governmental relationships at local levels, and also finding that township government functions very well as specialists in helping coordinate tne actions of local governments. He stated that the United States Surpeme Court ruling will have no bearing. on the functions and progress of township government in Cook county, since township officials in the county are already elected on a one-man, one-vote basis. NImrod added that the only affect of the Supreme Court ruling might be eventually to change the representation on the Cook county board, as suburbs continue to increase in population compared to Chicago population increases. It was pointed out by Illinois township officials spokesmen that no change can be made in the structure of downstate county boards until the Illinois legislature acts upon the proposition, or unless a constitutional convention is approved and subsequently a new constitution establishes groi^nd rules for the election of county boards. It was predicted that, in all likelihood, this would be a matter handled by the next session of the state legislature. "There are three or more possibilities to be considered," said Association Secretary Troy Kost. "One is to retain the township supervisors and assistant supervisors as county board members, but with weighted voting power determined by the population that each represents. Another is to elect county b6ard members at large. A third is to elect those board members from municipal suburban and rural districts set up in each county." "There is room for creative thinking on this matter," said Kost, "because it is not exactly a simple one to resolve." Members of thetownship officials committee to study the problem are now being appointed, and will shortly meet with a committee appointed by the Illinois county officials association to coordinate thinking and recommendations. The township committee will be prepared to make its recommendations well in advance of the next regular sessionof the state legislature. WOULD YOU BELIEVE?
