and there in BUSINESS NEW CHAMPIONS -- For the last two Saturdays this team of thirteen McHenry county Carpenter apprentices and their instructors have donated their time and skills to repairing these Crystal Lake Little League dug-outs. Last fall some pranksters did considerable damage to these structures and recognizing the need for repairs, Carl Kriegel who is representative for Local 2087 for the Carpenters union, rounded up his local first and second year apprentice carpenters and attacked the damage with real gusto. Naturally, the biggest winners in this whole affair are the Little Leaguers - but then so are the men - for the experience they gained. Pictured, first row are Lloyd Jacobs, Milton Johnson, Robert Leyerj second row, Carl Kreigel, Gregg Carroll, Robert Holman, John Kravenas, Bill Feller and Floyd Freund, an instructor.

COMPLETE COURSE Sun Electric corporation, in coope-ation with McHenry County college, offered for the first time in the firm's Crystal Lake Aero Space division, in-plant courses in "Basic Blueprint Reading" and "Human Relations in Supervision." This is just the beginning of a more comprehensive program to enable employees to advance themselves through education. Among those who gathered for a graduation luncheon were C. Klish and C. Dotson of McHenry and J. Carol of Island Lake. W. Wilson, production manager, is a McHenry area resident. PURSUE STUDY FOR ENGINEER IN MERCHANT MARINE Joseph Arthur Filippo, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Filippo, Route 2, McHenry, is currently enrolled as a student in the Calhoon M.E.B.A. Engineering school to learn to become a licenseQ engineer in the United States Merchant Marine. Located in. Baltimore, Md., the school began its third year of operation on Oct. 1, 1968. Because of the extreme shortage of licensed engineers aboard American-flag merchant vessels, it was established in 1966 by the National Marine Engineers' Beneficial association (AFL-CIO) and is financed by the shipowners in an agreement with the engineers' union. Young Filippo, 20, is now in the classroom study group learning about ships and the basics of engineering before he goes aboard a ship for his year's training as an apprentice engineer. When he completes that year at sea, he will return to the school for six more months of classroom study and then sit before a Coast Guard board in examination for his third engineer's license. Once he receives that, he will be able to go to sea as a full-fledged marine engineer. LOOK AHEAD TO ANNUAL FAMILY REUNION DAY The second annual observance of Family Reunion Day will be held Sunday, Aug. 10, throughout the United States and Canada, according to Dean Cunat president of the Kiwanis club of McHenry. Family Reunion Day, which is being sponsored jointly by Kiwanis International and Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge, is a program for all people, Dean Cunat said. Its purpose is :to dramatize the family as the keystone of the nation's strength and morality, he added. He went on to explain that people in both the United States and Canada are being encouraged to plan old-fashioned family get-togethers, dinners and picnics. There is no formal, nation-wide program. Instead, it is hoped that individual families will use the day to become better acquainted; to "get the family up-to-date" on addresses, birthdays, anniversaries, deaths, and significant events; to arrange patriotic activities; to familiarize young members of the family with sacred historical documents; and to emphasize the role of children as the heirs and potential leaders of the future. Although Kiwanis International and Freedoms Foundation originated Family Reunion Day, dozens of other organizations are participating in it again this year.

Vernon, 111., the association undertook a comprehensive review of the problems and needs of township government, and previewed its outlook for the balance of 1969. More than 300 township officials attended the meeting. The projection for 1969 was prompted by a summary of legislation affecting township government now submitted to the 1969 session of the Illinois state legislature. In his report on this subject, Troy A. Kost, Astoria, executive secretary of the Township Officials of Dlinois, stated that more than 100 bills relating to township government are now in the state . legislative hopper. Key ones rebate to recodification of township statutes, consolidation of smallertownships, making certain towns hijpts co-extensive with cities, legislations to help townships increase police protection in unincorporated areas, and a variety of bills affecting the make-up of county boards by elected township supervisors, as is now the case. The latter subject relates to the one-man, one-vote concept as applied to the election of i county boards. Mr. Kost pointed out that this is basically The total value of cars stolen in 1965 was more than the total value of all other larcenies committed in the United States that year. Suppose it costs $5,000 to get well Or$ 10,000. Or$ 15,000. At today's .^prices, that's what serious illness or injury can mean. Your ordinary hospitalmedical insurance just won't cover it. The answer is a modern Country Life Medical Catastrophe plan. Or one of our brandnew Comprehensive Medical Expense policies that cover both routine and catastrophe expenses. I'll be glad to give you the details whenever you say. a county situation, but relates to townships because of the fact that county supervisors are also township supervisors in downstate Illinois. Within any given township, however, it was noted that the one-man, onevote principle is in effect, since all township officials are elected at large in their oVvn townships. Kost predicted that, among five bills submitted for reapportionment of county boards, that one is still to come from a legislative subcommittee appointed to work on this project.^ Among the bills now in the' subcommittee is one called the "Lake County Bill," which was reported on by Lake county attorney and clerk of Waukegan township, Warren C. Behr. This proposed legislation would retain township supervisors and assistant supervisors as county board members, who would then be given weighted votes in order to equalize population differences between townships within a given county. Attorney Behr observed that although there have been differences of legal opinion on the constitutionality of weighted voting, that the state of Hawaii practices it in its legislature, and that at least two federal court rulings have approved it as prescribing to the one-man, onevote concept. He stated that he has not found any federal or state of Illinois statutes that prohibit weighted voting as a way to proportion representation in governmental bodies. The Township Officials association, however, took no official stand on any pending legislation relating to reapportioning. Another speaker on the Town- Wed. May 14, 1969 - Plaindealer ~ Sec. 2, Pg. 5 ship Officials spring conference program was Maurice Scott, Springfield, executive vice-president, Taxpayers' Federation of Illinois. Scott advised the township officials that "your importance and stature are determined by how well you perform your duties," and reviewed the principle functions of the township supervisor, clerk, assessor and highway commissioner. Scott also discussed taxation problems among local governing bodies and in the state government.' He ftoted that "the State of Illinois currently finds it necessary to collect more revenue in order to meet obligations already on the books," and cautioned'that the way to slow down increasing tax rates is to "stop unnecessary, costly programs from getting on the books." jjJli Longhorn Steak House presents MISTER'S LITTLE MRS.
