Governor Paul Simon told a large group of precinct workers assembled at the Labor Temple in Crystal Lake that the Illinois Education association is doing a great disservice to voters in this district if they attempt to portray Rep. Thomas Hanahan as a foe of education. Said Lt. Gov. Simon, "Tom Hanahan has been a great friend of education during the eight years I have worked with him in Springfield". On Saturday, Dr. Michael Bakalis, superintendent of public instruction, spoke before a large turnout at a rally in Dundee. Bakalis commented that his department had come to depend on Rep. Hanahan to handle all of its bills in the General Assembly, adding that he does the job extremely well and also understands in detail what the bills are all about.

Weisz expressed his concern about politics in McHenry county. He compared the Republican control in the county to the strength of the Chicago Democratic machine. Weisz encourged the students present to get involved with and work for the political party of their choice. Politics, he said, shouldn't be left to the politicians.

The Crystal Lake reception was one of two major stops in McHenry county arranged by the Democratic Women's club. Howlett is campaigning for election as Secretary of State. His second stop was at a new Democratic headquarters in Marengo at 110 E. Grant (Rte. 120).

McHenry County Republican Chairman Al Jourdan stated that it was the opinion of the Republican Committeemen that these men had ably per­ formed their duties as judges and merited election for another term. Governor Calls For Freeze On Property Tax Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie Monday called a special session of th^iegislature to freeze real estate taxes immediately and to work for property tax reductions in 1973. V He called the special session for Nov. 26 to run concurrently with the regular session of the General Assembly. Ogilvie's action was based on the early receipt by the state government of $100 million annually from federal revenue sharing and an extra $45 million bonus this year. Cities and counties in Illinois will receive $200 million an­ nually in direct revenue sharing funds, plus a one-time bonus this year of $90 million additional. The U.S. Senate Friday approved the revenue sharing bill 59-19. The House gave its approval Thursday to the conference committee report which reconciled House and Senate differences. Ogilvie outlined his plans in a statement which was sent to each member of the General Assembly. He charged the legislature to: - Freeze all property taxes at present levels. -- Permit real estate tax rebates of 10 per cent or more by city, township and county governments. ~ Begin state participation in paying as much as 60 per cent of the cost of building new local schools. McClory Reports On Provision For Parochial Tuition Hie House Ways and Means committee ha& taken action to introduce a measure granting tax credits to the parents of students attending parochial and other non-public schools. The landmark legislative measure, sponsored by Democratic Congressmen Hugh Carey of New York and James Burke of Massachusetts and Republican Congressman John Byrnes of Wisconsin, would grant a tax credit of 50 percent of the tuition, or a maximum of $200 per student to parents of non-public school children. Congressman McClory declared: "This measure comes very late in the Congress, and I would not expect favorable action this year. However, the Committee vote indicates a growing awareness of the financial plight of many parochial and private schools. Some remedial legislation will probably be taken in the next Congress which convenes on January 3, 1973." Congressman McClory emphasized that there are constitutional objections which must be resolved. Also, a proliferation of small private schools - including segregated school programs - must be avoided.

Bank For Savings Fastest Growing Of Kind In U.S. The Bank for Savings and Loan Association, the fastest growing commercial bank in the United States, has reported that assets on Sept. 30, 1972, were up 201 per cent over year earlier assets while earnings for the finst nine months of the year rose 54 per cent. Arnold J. Rauen of McHenry, bank president, said that earnings for the nine months ended Sept. 30 totaled $269,548, equal to $1.73 per share, up from the $83,856, or $1.13 per share reported a year ago. This year's earnings were fully taxed while the year-ago earnings benefited from tax credits and a non-recurring gain. Pre-tax earnings in the first nine months this year totaled $505,548. "Our growth is a reflection of the strong condition of the savings and loan industry,"- Rauen said. "We continue as the fastest growing com­ mercial bank in the nation and we see no letup in our growth in the coming months." Good Definition If someone would ask you why a ship is always referred to as "she or her" you might give this explanation. "It costs a lot to keep her in paint and powder, she'll drift off if you don't keep her tied down, she makes her best showing i;> a high wind and it takes a man to handle her." ON COMPLEX...
