PAGE 3-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1970 Grandma Sez . This "Two-Party System," wi' which we've lived fer a good many years, is, finally bein* upset by other parties a bein' entered on the ballots. Evidently, some folks ainPt hap­ py about the way things is a goin', an' when that happens, they*reHbasy-marks fer the rad­ icals. The system never wuz intended f divide us, but it seems it's turned out that way. It wuz, originally, healthy f have the parties in competition wi' one another. It put the burr under the saddle, so t? apeak, and until one party gained sich strong control, there wuz a healthy endeavor t* merit the favor o' the people, Now- a-days, seems t' me that the main issue is the party, f the extent that the President don't hev the cooperation he needs t' help us out o' the mire we've gotten ourselves in­ to, over the past forty years, an' more. I wuz a talkin', t'other day, about folks a listenin' wi' their minds an* hearts, an' not only wi' their ears, a hearin' the words, an' a puttin* their own meanin' t' 'em. I wuz a hopin' that folks 'd listen t' the ear­ nestness o* the President, in his effort t* aid the plans for benefitin' folks all over the world, an' a gittin' our noses t' the grindstone, here at home, t' clean 19 our own house. I don't care what party a per­ son caters to, the competition should be put aside after the elections, an* every shoulder put f the wheel, f turn the government in the right direc-on. Seems like those chips stay right on the shoulder o* some, an* defeat the efforts a bein' made tf right the PSMp estate." . " All candidates, a runnin' ona ticket, may not please every voter, an' it takes a little work to* vote fer individuals, an' find out about their abilities f serve the position, but if d pay off in the long run, an* there woul&i't be so many complaints afterwards. The world ain't ever been in sich bad straits, an' if s takta" a long time f git this bad. Folks need t' be patient, work wi' the efforts a bein' made, t' extricate us from the mess, wi'out a gittin' us inter a big­ ger one. There seems t' be a trend f the more old-fashioned i- dees. Guess the same thing is a happenin' in this age as in centuries past, an' good logic, respect fer law, in regard t' the other feller, is beneficial t* us all Grandma Radtke American Legion Auxiliary News UNIT 491 By Pearl Cooper The 11th district of the Amer­ ican Legion auxiliary held its annual fall convention in Plain- field recently.

PLAINDEALER PHOTO Defenders Hold Bottle Collection That glass bottle is wanted! Whether it held catsup, sham­ poo, baby food or a beverage originally, it will be welcomed when the McHenry County De­ fenders hold their first bottle collection drive at the Crys­ tal Lake Plaza Dec. 5. Dr. S.P. Liberati, chairman for the drive, asks everyone to begin saving bottles now. They should be reasonably clean, all metal labels and rings must be removed, and they should be segregated by color - clear, amber and green. Paper labels do not have to, be removed. Many groups, including the Defenders, have been studying, recycling as a means of mak­ ing natural resources last lon­ ger and at the same time de­ creasing the need for more and more land to be set aside for dumps or land-fill operations. The bottles collected will be de­ livered to a glass container manufacturing company for re­ processing into new glass. If the first collection drive is suc­ cessful, the Defenders will sponsor a continuing collection program.
