SECTION 2-PAGE 22-WEDNE SDAY, AUGUST 30, 1972 4 J . JSUU^ " i>ir McCLORY REPORTS From i i V Washington The subject of V aid to parochial and private schools is receiving some delayed at­ tention during the^inal weeks of this Congress. It should not ^concluded that the Congress jtfulf take any positive steps in this direction before ad­ journment, but still the groundwork may be laid for legislative action when the next "Congress convenes in January, 1973. Under the terms of a bill secondary education - or about $50 per public school pupil nationwide. Spokesmen for the President have endorsed the $200 tax credit principle - estimating that this would result in a loss of federal revenue of almost $600 million per year. Strong opposition to any such parochial and private school aid bill is certain - with the further expectation that a great deal of emotional fervor will be affiliated schools in the form of grants, student loans and scholarships, school lunch programs, and others. Church- affiliated colleges and universities have realized substantial benefits - com­ parable, indeed, to those of other private as well as public institutions of highter learning. .Elementary and secondary school funds also benefit the students who attend parochial schools where special , education programs and shared time systems are developed in public school buildings with grants of federal funds. Still, the direct financial benefit which would flow to sponsored by Congressman^oenerated if and when such a U.irr^i Pormr nf Mour Vnrlf I Hugh Carey of New York, parents of students who attend parochial or private schools would be entitled to a tax credit of $200. In other words, the parents' total tax liability would be reduced by the amount of tuition paid up to $200. In an apparent attempt to satisfy the constitutional prohibition against separation of church and state -- or perhaps merely to provide equitable treatment for families whose children attend public schools, Congressman Carey's measure would allocate more than $2 Sbillion to the states for elemenWv and measure reaches the floor of the House of Representatives. Efforts of some state legislatures, including the Illinois General Assembly, to provide financial aid to church affiliated schools have en­ countered constitutional ob­ stacles including the First Amendment prohibition that "Congress shall make no law respecting establishment of religion" which was described by Thomas Jefferson as the building of "a wall of separation between Church and State." Notwithstandin^lhis barrier, there already ar\ many programs benefiting church- POLITICAL CORNER Volunteers For Nixon Canvass In Community The Republican election campaign got under way in earnest in McHenry Aug. 15 as scores of Volunteers for Nixon rang doorbells as part of a door- to-door canvass aimed at contacting at least 75 percent of all households in the city and ^throughout the state. Larry Larson of McHenry, who led what he described as a "blitz" canvassing effort by the volunteers, said its purpose was to identify supporters of the President and to be sure they are registered to vote. He said the voters will be con­ tacted again, to be sure they are able to get to the polls on election day, Nov. 7, or receive absentee ballots. Larson said the program, which calls for door-to-door canvassing of 2,600,000 households in Illinois, has been developed by the Illinois Committee for the Re-election of the President, headed by state campaign chairman Thomas J. Houser, and has the endorsement Nh) Clark MacGregor, chairman of the National Committee for the Re­ election of the President.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sept. 11, 1947) Jimmy Wright, 8 years old, of Rt. 2, McHenry, was severely injured on Tuesday morning, when he was struck by an automobile while enroute to school. The accident occurred on state route 120 near Lily Lake. The boy was crossing the highway to get into a car in which he and another boy in ^he neigh­ borhood were to ride to school. Old friends of the Walter Vogt family were sorry to learn of Mr. Vogt's death which oc­ curred Sfept. 6 in a Geneva hospital.

A total of 109 of the 145 members of the Stephen H. Freund family from Madison, Wis., Elgin, Waukegan, Wauconda, Crystal Lake and McHenry enjoyed a reunion at the V.F.W. grounds on Labor Day with Mrs. Mary Buch, the oldest, and Joseph Anthony Peroni, the youngest among those present. A daughter was born Sept. 7, at the McHenry hospital to Mr. and Mrs. Edward Bonk of McHenry. parents whose children attend parochial schools appears to be quite distinguishable from the existing programs from which public, private and parochial school students benefit equally. Despite strong support from Congressman Wilbur Mills of Arkansas, chairman of the House Ways and Means committee, as well as the favorable testimony of several Administration spokesmen who have already appeared before his committee, it is quite doubtful that any measure which might benefit the parents of parochial and private school students will emerge from this Congress.
