Mrs. Harvey Frank and daughter, Mary Beth, of DeWitt, Iowa, spent the weekend in the hojne of the former's brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Norbert Yegge. While here they "League convention is always exciting and stimulating. We may be weary, but we are full of enthusiasm for the activities of the year ahead," said Mrs. Daniel Wei^z, president of the League of Women Voters of Woodstock-McHenry, on returning from the recent session at the Pere Marquette hotel in Peoria. Mrs. Weisz, along with Mrs. James Miyashiro, a director, and Mrs. Lyle Johnson, first vice-president, joined over 400 delegates in representing eighty-two local leagues at the state convention of the League of Women Voters of Illinois. Mrs. Raymond E. Robertson of Hinsdale, president of the league, set the tone of the convention at the opening session wnen she urged the delegates to "keep us in league with the times." She said, "Unless we can attract to our program some of the youiijg people and let them find ways to involve were guests at Hickory Hill horsemanship camp for girls at St. Charles where Mary Beth expects to take a course in training horses. Other guests over the weekend were Mr. and Mrs. Jack Yegge and children, Jeffrey and Jennifer, of Waukesha, Wis. ^iiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiimiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiu| FRANKLIN I % Say ARE TO BE FOUND AT FRANKLIN , McHenry, Illinois = ^llllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllUIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllF themselves in a system of participatory democracy, we may be missing the boat as far as the future is concerned." I believe our study program is particularly relevant to the upcoming Constitutional convention," commented Mrs. Miyashiro. The delegate body approved (1) Revision of the structure of Illinois government to include constituional revision, a new revenue article and measures to obtain an adequate and flexible tax structure, and protection of the 1962 judicial article and .support of measures to further judicial reform. (2) Study of local government in Illinois. (3) Protection of the individual in his civil rights and liberties, including support of legislation to provide equal opportunities in housing, employment and education, and, preservation of constitutional liberties. (4) Support of improved local, regional and statewide welfare services by Illinois state agencies serving children and their families. (5) Study of election laws and procedures in Illinois. The study of public welfare got a "shot in the arm" when Ben Heine man, chairman of the President's Commission on Income Maintenance Programs, addressed a dinner meeting on the night before the vote. He said, "The challenge we face is to design an approach to in-. come maintenance that serves \ the poor, fairly, realistically and with dignity. We must have a universal national program which equitably and simply transfers cash income to all the poor, and which explicitly preserves built-in incentives for those who can use them. With such a basis that reaffirms our society's respect for the worth and dignity of all its citizens, we shall have recognized the responsibilities of affluence and perceptibly raised the quality of all our lives." Byron DeHaan, public affairs manager of Caterpillar Tractor Co., addressed the delegates at their fiftieth anniversary breakfast ori the same day. In • a discussion of voluntary or- . ganizations which have played a unique problem-solving role in our country, Mr. DeHaan included the League of Women Voters as part of "the concerned and committed who have accepted the challenge tp use human resources more fully and effectively to utilize America's locked up desire to serve." He urged active member participation in the $11,000,000 drive to rai^e funds to finance these goals. v... One of the ceremonial highlights of the convention was recognization of Mrs. Richard B. Qgilvie as the 10,000th member of the League of Women Voters of Illinois. "One of the most exciting things about league is the wide range of people it includes - from the ghetto dweller of Chicago to the First Lady of the state," was the opinion of Mrs. Johnson. Before returning home, the convention delegates approved a $101,000 budget to accomplish its work^-for the coming year. Drivers Seat More and more truckers may soon be using a red triangle to warn other motorists of a stalled or disabled truck at the side of the road. Recent tests conducted by the Department of Transportation indicate a triangular shape, covered with red, reflective material, is recognizable as an emergency warning device at far greater distances than commonly used "dot" reflector. The all-steel advance-warning triangle is maintenancefree and virtually unbreakable. It requires no batteries, bulbs, flags or fuel, and thus offers an extra safety advantage for carriers hauling hazardous materials (explosives, flammable liquids, etc.). Both sides of each triangle arm are covered with red reflective sheeting which "bounces" headlight beams back to their source. The wide-angle characteristic of the reflective sheeting makes the traingular shape fully recognizable on curves and uneven grades, or when hastily put down along a roadway. A steel cross-brace insures stability in winds up to 40 mph. The triangle folds to a compact size for storing when not in use. When needed, the driver of a stalled vehicle places one or more triangles by the side of the road, much as he would with flares. The triangles are visible to oncoming motorists at a distance of more than a quarter of a mile, day or night Use of these triangles is not limited to truckers alone. Their simplicity and dependability as a warning device should make them popular with individual motorists as jgell. In additiolfi to high visibility, the advance-warning triangle has the advantage of always having the same meaning. Triangular signs, as you know, warn you that a moving or moveable hazard may be (or is) in your immediate area. A triangular sign always demands special and immediate alertness on your part. KNEE INJURED Dennis W. Taylor of 1611 Meadow lane, working for Mc- Henry Transportation, sustained a possible knee fracture when a portion of a bus fell on his leg as he was working on the vehicle. He was admitted to McHenry hospital Tuesday. HEARING AIDS .Batteries and Service M . I I I w i \ I 1 1 I f , u • • Idi" all in Call 385 0125 15 '. .
