Record attendance was one hallmark with an estimated 55,000 attending the fair, ex­ ceeding last year's previous all-time high by at least 5,000. New attendance records were established for Thursday, Fri­ day and Sunday, compared with previous years, and this was the first year the fhir has open­ ed on Wednesday. Ideal weather encouraged at­ tendance, and only threats of rain in areas outside the Wood­ stock area kept Saturday's at­ tendance from setting a new record, Weingart observed. "The livestock auction had the largest number of bidders in history and more than $43,-, 000 was realised in the sale as cattle prices set a high aver­ age price. "Harness racing drew large crowds with the quality unsur­ passed. One new track record was set and another missed hya fraction of a second. Growth in the beef show and in the num­ ber of horses taking part in the various horse shows were other highlights." Weingart noted the McHenry County Fair Art revue pre­ sented several quality entries, among them several featured attractions at the Country Art Fair held in June by the Mc­ Henry hospital auxiliary. This exhibit at Massey hall drew ap­ preciative response from the audience. The Environmental Control exhibit in the new East Ex­ hibition hall showed the wide­ spread effort to solve prob­ lems which pollution can cause. One of the fair's most papular exhibits--and one of the hard­ est-hitting-- was the display by the McHenry County Sher­ iffs department. Photos of highway accidents, as well as at other tragedies transfixed the audiences marching through the displays. Weapons taken during department activities wereal- so shown. Press coverage this year al­ so reached a high level, and Weingart expressed his appre­ ciation to the news media for its extensive coverage. Bigger rabbit show, larger dog care show, and a big jump in the number of goats entered that prompts Weingart°to call the 1070 fair outstanding. Selection of Cindy Bird as Miss McHenry County and Judy Rich and Kevin Schultz as 4-H king and queen dominated fair activity. The McHenry County Dairy Promotion council presented regular demonstrations on the use of dairy products featuring a milk punch and yogurt on Af­ ferent occasions. One highlight at this year's fair was the dedication at Don Hansen pavilion, honoring the immediate past president who was killed lafet December in a highway aeddent., Don was president for five years and a ffirector for ten years. VANDALISM Mrs. Roger H. Grauman of 7408 Back Bay road, Wonder Lake, informed deputies that while .she was attending the County Fair Thursday evening* someone took patted geranium plants from her front yard and threW the contents in the road in front of her house. ^ • A fashion revue sponsored by the load chapter of the Amer­ ican Field Service will be held at Floyd's in Dundee Wednes­ day, Aug. 19, starting at 12:30 p.m. For reservations, call Mrs. Edmund J.

Proposed Revenue McHenry would receive an extra $17,216 from the feder­ al government if the President's revenue sharing plan were law this year. That's the information Mc­ Henry County Treasurer Cal Skinner, Jr., was able to ob­ tain from the Treasury depart­ ment through the cooperation of Rep., Robert McClory. Direct, unearmarked aid would also go to townships and counties under President Nix­ on's plan. "Sending money directly to local governments with no strings attached is Nixon's an­ swer to the grant programs for specific purposes that the Democrats have developed ov- «?•' er thepastthirty-sevenyears,' Skinner explained. "It has the advantages of not requiring a lot of paper worfc and allowing local governmental officials to spend the money for what they think is best, rather than what the Washington bur­ eaucracy thinks Is best," he continued. McHenry township would have received $12,012 under the plan-more than any other Mc­ Henry county township. Nunda would be second with $11,514, while Algonquin would have re­ ceived $10,573 and Greenwood $2,768. McHenry county, however, would have benefited most from enactment of the legislation. Its comparative share would be $114,476. Other cities in McHenry county that were large enough to be listed were Crystal Lake at $30,667, Cary at $6,587, Harvard at $10,075, Marengo at $6,255 and Woodstock at $35,815. The formula that is used to determine how much a general purpose local government will receive is not so much per arson, as with the State In­ come Tax. Neither is it based on the amount of money col­ lected within the local govern­ ment's boundaries, as with the State Sales Tax. According to the technical appendix of the Treasury de­ partment's publication "Fed­ eral Revenue Sharing with State and Local Governments." "Each local government will receive a share which corres­ ponds to the ratio of its gen- , , ' i eral revenues from Its own sources to the sum of such general revenues for all eligi­ ble local governments." In other words, a city's share of the total amount would be the same percentage as its pro­ portion of all local general rev­ enues generated throughout Ill­ inois. -- NOWELL'S SPORT t GUN CENTER 927 Main St.' |Antioch,111.312-395-321 .Expert Gunsmith .Dealer in all Major Brands of sporting arms .Complete reloading componet line. w-nftm.
