CONSUMERS AND NEWSPAPERS Everything about a newspaper is consumer-ori­ ented. That's why both men and women consumers read newspapers more regularly and carefully than anything else. That's because newspapers are the FULL in­ formation medium. More information on consumer matters is being published in newspapers today than at any time in our nation's history. Editorial writers, reporters, columnists and special feature pages and articles comment regu­ larly on consumer issues. Advertisements provide facts and information to help them shop better, save money, use time wisely, and live better year after year. Classified advertising helps consumers many important ways, assisting in such major events in an average person's lifetime as helping find a job, a home, and a car. Our economy and standard of living are depend­ ent in great degree on good productive advertising, as carried by this and thousands of other news­ papers. Perhaps it is time to applaud the many good merchants and advertisers who have been helping consumers in this area live better year after year with their informative newspaper advertising. w Inc reased r e t i r emen t o f w j t h ( u l l l l s l 0 n benefits proposed for em- ^fter 20 ®ears o( creditable ployees in the state s adult servIce Benefiting from the correctional institutions have iegislation would ^ guards been approved by the Illinois e»ployed at j„iiet-stateville.

Mlnl-Prevue Of Leadership Course Oct. 15 A mini-prevue of the Gabriel Richard Coursefor Developing Leadership Potential will begin Sunday, Oct. 15 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Mary's cafeteria, 313 N. Tryon, Woodstock. Staffed by volunteers trained by the Gabriel Richard institute, the course is built on developing self-confidence - the type of confidence that leads to success, and success gives individuals the confidence to reach toward bigger goals. The Gabriel Richard course is an unique, weekly three- h o u r , n i n e - s e s s i o n course that utilizes pro­ ven methods, warm-ups and exercises. The course is fun, with funny drills. It is a learn b^ doing course with full student participation, rather than dull lectures. The class members become a team working together toward a common goal. The course is open to all people from all walks of life - factory workers, housewives, salesmen, teachers, teen-agers 16 years and older, retireees and students. It does not teach formal religion but is based on The public is invited to drop in and visit the new Learning center at Valley View school. The center has been moved from the cafeteria area, and the students are now enjoying a pleasant room where they can participate in a variety of activities. More volunteers are needed to supervise the children and to assist them in different ways. Mr. Sobotkiewicz and the THE BEST MOTORCYCLE IN THE WORLD -- UNMISTAKABLY! It's the BMW from the Bavarian Motor Works of Munich, West Germany. More than 2000 gold medals. 206 world records. 27 of them still hold today. Vou can spot a BMW right away because they look different from any other motorcycle around. For one thing, the unique engine layout gives BMW a characteristic silhou­ ette. A pair of transverse, hor­ izontally opposed cylinders. That's a mouthful alright. So exactly what does it mean. It means that in the BMW engine the cylinders are on the same horizontal plane, at right angles to the engine housing. From far off, that's what you see sticking out on each side. There is good reason for this unusual construction. This way the cylinders are in a perfect position for cooling -- out in the wind as one rides. The center of gravity is low to contribute to BMW's perfect weight distribu­ tion. And since the pistons sim­ ultaneously move against each other, both in, then both out, alternately, the movement that would cause vibration is balanced and BMW runs more smoothly than any other motorcycle ever could. A great plus in comfort for long distance travel, and an important factor in reducing engine wear. What else makes the best motorcycle in the world unmis­ takable? Try to find a drive chain. You can't. Power is transferred from engine to rear wheel by means of a drive-shaft, just like an automobile's. Now that's really one up on ordinary motorcycles. If you don't know, a chain must constantly be adjusted, because it is alternately tightened and slackened during the ride and soon becomes loose. A dirty time-wasting job. BMW's shaft-drive, on the other hand, is permanently sealed inside the right rear THE BMW 750 tooling along the highway shows the cylinder arrangement characteristic of all BMW motorcycles. Fokker D VII's of the famous Red Baron's fighter squadron, and achieved the first of their many world records in 1919 with a high-altitude flight. Five years later, in 1923, the company constructed their first horizont­ ally opposed twin motorcycle engines. Many models have followed this first prototype, including one designed for the Desert Fox, General Rommel, for his African campaign. A monster of a side car version with 8 gears, a reverse, and separate drive for the third wheel.: All of them show the two basic ideas: the flat twin and the shaft. The latest BMW motorcycles touring our country today now appear in several beautiful colors in addition to the traditional BMW black. swing arm. So it stays perfectly clean. And it is so ingeniously constructed that it automatic­ ally compensates for the length variation necessary during motion. So, it never needs ad­ justing. The shaft-drive is no bother as long as the machine lasts. And because BMW's are so well made, that is usually a very, very longtime. You may be asking, if all that is so good, why aren't the other manufacturers doing it, too. Because the best is hard to imitate. The Russians and the Japanese have tried it. Without success. Even America's Harley- Davidson has an imitatit.i BMW in its museum in Milwaukee which they built on government orders in 1942. The Bavarian Motor Works began in 1917, building aircraft engines.
