Two Illinois Bell foremen from Woodstock have just completed professional speaker training, and are ready to present in­ formative and entertaining free programs at club or church group meetings. Marvin Monteyne, 119 Peachtree, Woodstock, presents "Safety Pays" a fun- for-everyone "quiz show" which takes three contestants from the audience, and is complete with questions, a bonus question and prizes. The topic is safe driving, Rules of the Road is the final authority, and Monteyne acts as master of ceremonies. Colorful cartoon slides brighten the questions and the answers, and the contestants and audience alike have a good time learning about safety. Harry Jackson, 1543 Clay street, Woodstock, presents "Highroads of Illinois," an unusual slide show about places that earn Illinois a high ranking among America's biggest tourist attractions. The tour takes the audience to unique towns and cities, great monuments, famous homes, forts and battlefields, pirate dens, historic trails and un­ touched wilderness. Jackson and Monteyne, like other Illinois Bell volunteer speakers, give their programs on their own time. A question and answer session follows each program, in which audience members are free to ask questions unrelated to the talk itself, about their telephone service or Illinois Bell. Illinois Bell now has a new 1972 program catalogue available, listing the variety of talks and films the company offers free to clubs and organizations. For a copy of the new catalogue or to schedule "Safety Pays," "Highroads of Illinois," or one of the other free programs call Norma Hovey collect at (815 ) 962-9998. Con, will speak about the future of county government in Illinois. Since Johnson is now running for the county board in DeKalb, his comments on the topic should be highly in­ teresting. Johnson will speak about the impact of the 1970 constitution from the vantage point of one year after its passage. He will comment on how a county can become a home rule county, the advantages and disadvantages of becoming a home rule county, the future of real estate assessments for needed ser­ vices in unincorporated areas (such as roads) and other related topics. People attending the meeting will also have the opportunity to meet many of the candidates being endorsed by the Responsible Republicans for the county board in district 1. These include John Bick, Tony Aldersbaes, Robert Enander, Sunnie Janikowski, Edward Novak, Cal Skinner, Sr., Robert Wilford and Brad Burns. SEEKS RECORDER POST Seneca Township Supervisor Willert (Bill) Russel, of rural Woodstock, has announced that he is seeking the office of McHenry County Recorder of Deeds and is circulating petitions for his candidacy in the Republican primary which will be held on March 21.

During the past seventeen years, Supervisor Russel has served on practically all of the committees of the county board, having served as chairman of many of the committees. wil POLITICAL CORNER Responsible GOP Group To Meet In Crystal Lake Former constitutional convention delegate, Stanley Johnson, of DeKalb will speak to a meeting of the Responsible Republicans and interested citizens Thursday, Dec. 2, at the American Legion home in Crystal Lake at 7:45.
