PAGE 14 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNlESDAY. NOVEMBER 5, 1»75 MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued From Page 1) the baby who later was to become King Olaf V. Other memories were shared in a letter from Mrs. Rose (Oertel) Simpson, Chicago. Reading the centennial issue brought back memories of the Barbian Bros, cigar factory, where her father, Louis Oertel, was employed. ^ Favorite recollections were of the times he would bring boxes of tobacco home and the family would join him in stripping the tobacco at night. When the factory was no longer in operation following the death of one of the owners, she remembers how her father and another man made cigars in the Oertel house, with the front room converted into business headquarters. Mrs. Simpson also recalls the days she worked for the Plaindealer, when Frank Schreiner owned the business and Kathryn Burke, who later became his wife, set type by hand. It was during this time that the first linotype was received and regarded as an innovation of its day. The office was on Green street, behind the bank, near the drug store, between 1910 and 1914. Senior citizens often have ample time to devote to others, and many of them do. One of these is Clyde Blackwell, who seldom misses an opportunity to bring pleasure to someone on a special day. Last Easter season he designed and made a portable puppet display to delight children at Head Start. This Halloween, with some ingenuity, he converted the ."show" into something ap­ propriate to surprise small trick-or-treaters who came to his door The generation gap is quickly forgotten by the child and.the senior citizen when fun enters in! Maybe it's the nostalgia associated with Fall. Whatever GOVERNMENT HAS STOOD TEST OF TIME (Continued From Page 1) legacy for the Revolutionary generation, he continued. "Our Declaration of In- the reason, we couldn't close this column of memories without a word about some very special people who were co-workers for many years: Grace Meyer, who delved into our files for "Twice Told Tales"; Marlene Sagers, in charge of circulation; Patti Frett, our right-hand girl in page make-up; and Barbara Wagner, also in the page make­ up department. All of them have left us in recent months. For Grace it was the end of a 20-year association for retirement: for Patti there is a new role raising a young son. A"ll of them made our work just a little more enjoyable, and for that we are indebted to the four. KAF dependence says that God gives man certain rights no other man can take away. "Even today, 200 years later, religious spirit is one of the most important values handed down to us. "Here in Illinois, the town­ ships have had their ups and downs, but they are stronger today than ever before. "There are more townships in our state than municipalities or counties. "Traditionally, the townships have assessed property for tax purposes, built and maintained roads and met the immediate needs of general assistance for citizens who could not support themselves. According to the state of­ ficial, recently their authority has been broadened. Federal revenue sharing, and new state legislation, have given town­ ships new things to do and money to work with. u ' "Here in McHenry county," he continued, "federal money has been used to build animal control centers and make secondary roads safe for driving. "Township governments are close to the people. They can see what is most needed for their specific area and provide the services quickly, as they did in colonial times. "Colonial society didn't have to worry about such issues as energy shortage, nuclear arms limitation and national health care. "There was no Civil Aeronautics board, no In­ terstate Commerce com­ mission, no Food and Drug administration. "Government was simple. Its responsibilities were narrowly defined. "A study of township government, from its begin­ nings in America, would help our people determine where we are overgoverned. "Different agencies of government operate at so many different levels, they can't keep track of what each other is doing. "We shouldn't have different levels of government doing the same thing. As much as possible, we should handle government business at the local level. "As we go to the roots of our nation's growth, we will find that the biggest, most complex government is not necessarily the best. "Whopping budgets, bulging payrolls and clusters of agencies are not what make the best government. "As Thomas Jefferson said: 'A wise and frugal government is one which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement and shall not take from * the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.' " * * * * You are getting old when you forget to exer­ cise your body and are afraid to exercise your mind.

Defenders To Sponsor Nov. 6 Energy Fair We all use energy. But where will it come from? The sun? The wind? From organic wastes converted into methane gas? The McHenry County Defenders are sponsoring an Energy Fair to demonstrate that these alternate sources of energy really do work. The Fair will be held at the McHenry county fairgrounds, Building D, Thursday, Nov. 6. Doors will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Schools throughout the county are showing interest in this effort by arranging to bring students to the fair during school hours. Members of the public are invited to attend all through the day and evening. "We have put together a fair of interest to every member of the family, from the student and the gardener, to the housewife and the family breadwinner. We hope to stimulate not only thought, but action toward conservation of energy and innovative methods of production," stated Energy Fair Chairman Anne Carroll of Woodstock. The fair will feature ap­ proximately two dozen exhibits and working models, many depicting the renewable energy sources which will minimize our nation's dependence upon non-renewable fossil fuels. Solar grain drying, solar cells and heat collectors, a model of a solar home, and other devices will be exhibited by the University of Illinois, Argonne National Laboratory, Solar Control of Illinois, Fermi N a t i o n a l A c c e l e r a t o r Laboratory, and many others. The fair will also highlight d o - i t - y o u r s e l f p r o j e c t s developed by members of the community, designed to produce energy on a small scale, such as a solar hotdog cooker, a wind electricity generator, and a device that p r o d u c e s m e t h a n e f r o m manure. Committee members for the fair include Steven Aavang, Alden-Hebron science teacher; Peter Koenig, Carolyn Droszcz, and Sydna Becker of Crystal Lake; Ron Stroupe of Huntley; and Andrea Kane, Sherry Anderson, and Remick Mc­ Dowell of Woodstock.
