BASEBALL * * • BY PETE FRITCHIE WASHINGTON, D.C.-The best flag chase in the four Major League divisions is once again in the American League East. As of the first part of August, the next to last month of the regular season, four clubs were, within a game of one another and the lead. T h o u g h t h i s w a s t h e broadest chase, there were, however, good races in each of the other three divisions. Three clubs were in both National League races'--St. Louis, Chicago and Pitts­ burgh in the East and Los Angeles,Cincinnati and San Francisco in the West. The most surprising race was the American League West struggle between Oak­ land, Kansas City, Minne­ sota and Chicago. Kansas City, which took over the lead from Oakland early in August, is a power surprise. Minnesota is another. Chi­ cago may be out of it--dis­ sension in the front office didn't help. To speculate on the out­ come in all four races is tricky. But it looks like De­ troit and Oakland again in the American and Los An­ geles and St. Louis in the National. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, especially the Reds, have begun to move and the Reds are probably an even favorite in the Na­ tional West. English Chunnel? After a 90-year lapse, digging on the much-debated English Channel Tunnel, named ehun nel", has resumed. Drugstore History The modern drugstore has its roots in the Middle East. The first privately owned, government supervised shops sprang up in Baghdad in the late 8th century. Here and There In Business General Telephone Files This Week For General Increase A request for increased local service rates will be filed Aug.31 by General Telephone company of Illinois with the Illinois Commerce com­ mission, it was announced by GTI President Robert W. Shaffer. This represents the first time in fourteen years the company has asked for a general rate increase. The requested amount would affect the average customer bill by about seven cents a day, but varies from town to town, depending on types of service, number of main telephones in the customer's local calling area, and mileage between Extended Area Service points. Long distance rates are not affected. "In order to get the $5 million in additional revenues which we need," Shaffer said, "we must ask for $10.2 million. The difference goes toward state and federal taxes." The $10.2 million represents ap­ proximately nine percent of the company's annualized revenues. Fred K. Johnston, Belvidere district commercial manager, said the proposed rates for each area in the Belvidere district may vary from $0.40 to $4.75 per month depending on the type of service presently of­ fered. Additional information is available in the Belvidere business office. General Telephone serves nearly 700,000 telephones in 324 exchanges in Illinois. Two Deuster Bills Amended By Gov. Walker Governor Dan Walker has amended two bills sponsored by State Rep. Donald E Deuster (R. Mundelein) to modernize the Illinois law for giving "public notice." Under the two Deuster bills, Illinois Municipalities and Fire Protection Districts may publish notice of their budget hearings and ordinances in a county newspaper circulating in the area. Previously they had to tack up notices on telephone poles or other places in the public view. Both measures (H.B 203 and H.B. 204) passed the General Assembly and were presented to the Governor. In exercizing his Constitutional power to "amend" bills, Governor Walker said: "I agree that the publication Service News Thought For Food 1 6 insnii 000 LOTS - io % Ff Vc»riCAL ODD SIZE storm sash PAIIMT Jj paneun® Several Pattern's ODD LOTS .. .

A 1972 graduate of Richmond- Burton high school, he is scheduled to report to Aviation Machinist Mate "A" school, Memphis, Tenn O V T H E O L O T I M E R From John McFall, Fowler, IN: I remember the year of the nose fl ies, insects that bothered horses They appeared in Indiana in 1931 and l ived mostly in the corn fields. They were a l i t t le smaller than the common house fly and would fly from the ground str iking the horses in the nose. I do not think they had a st inger or did any damage to the horses, but the continual str iking in the nose would make the horses very rest­ less They would swing their heads up and down and from side to side but there was no way they could protect themselves against them The fl ies not only irr i tated the horses, but made them very hard to control -- especially when cul­ t ivating corn Finally, someone invented the nose basket The frame was made from heavy, st ifT wire on which window screen wire was fastened. These baskets were designed and shaped to fi t over the horses nose. There was a small r ing on each side in which a twine str ing was t ied. This alternative would be a better method providing public notice than posting." However, Walker suggested an amend­ ment al lowing posting whenever no newspaper is published in a county.

Sweaters will maintain their populari ty and any length- goes for girls ' coats.

FACIE 7 - PLA1NDEALER - WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 29, 1973 was angered over the high interest rates set by New York banks. Although it is supposed to deal with the future credit needs of our country, this report fai led even to mention agriculture and rural America in any of i ts long l is ts of areas requiring change. Those of us in McHenry know of the growing credit problems of farmers and of the vast needs for funds in areas such as ours Yet this planned overhaul of the credit mechanism <v t i l ' ! ignore us cot .plot*• iv t i •• are pr^pov-.K > . . . . ̂ . .^then and exp' < m corporate lending- ' . .dking sure that the big companies in the major ci t ies have enough credit -and proposals to al low a variety of new financing devices to divert funds into the stock market and other areas. If the interests of our rural areas are to be met, then new techniques for f inancing far­ mers must be found. One simple method proposed by the I n d e p e n d e n t B a n k e r s Associat ion of America, a group which represents the small town banks of our nation and to which McHenry State Bank belongs, would solve many of the problems now faced by rural areas The IBAA suggestion would simply add a section to last year 's Community Develop­ ment Act-which set up a program of Federal loan guarantees in rural areas. The section would al low the banks to market their insured loans, thus creating permanent, constant pools of funds to meet the credit needs of the nation's farmers, rural ci t izens and small businessmen In addit ion this proposal would al low banks in communities l ike McHenry to deal with local community programs rather than forcing local government to seek high- cost f inancing in New York or other major ci t ies Those of us at McHenry State Bank think the Congress would be better off making sure the legislat ion i t passed last year will be effective rather than going off into some overhaul of the f inancial system that does not include any provision for the future of small town America. Adv. By Qsme! J. Prus! Vice-President & Cashier McHenry State Bank The banking business is covered by more Federal laws and regulat ions than any other aspect of American business l ife. This is probably just if ied because no other type of business is so important to the well-being of i ts customers in that i t is t rusted with the funds of i ts community and is responsible for providing the credit necessary to assure the future of individual businesses and the town as a whole. Each year in the Congress numerous proposals for changing the banking laws are put forward. Usually these bil ls are offered to give some group increased power to part icipate in the f inancial l i fe of our nation This year bankers and others centered in the major ci t ies - with the help of in­ ternationalists in the Treasury - - plan to offer a measure that would in their words "reform'" the f inancial system. What i t real ly would do would assure that al l important credit decisions would be made in New York, Chicago or San Franeisco-or other big ci t ies- rather than at the local level . This so-called reform bil l results from a study that originally was put forward to protect the biggest bank holding companies from possible restr ict ive legislat ion at a t ime when the Congress G fVEAR it T SERVICE STORES LOW PRICES! 4-PLY NYLON WHITE WALLS ALL-WEATHER Iff TIRES Size 6 50*13 wh i tewa l l tube less p lus *1 .73 Fed .
