Hettermann's showed their dominance in the league when they beat the 2nd place team soundly. Het­ termann's started from the very first inning getting 2 runs and then scoring in every in­ ning after that. The Fox Hole certainly wasn't playing up to par as that was only their 4th loss. All the starters for Het­ termann's got at least 1 or more hits. Jim Meyers had 4 hits for 5 at bats. Hettermann's Fox Hole 2 5 2 2 1 0 0 2 1 1 3 1 1 2 Monday and Tuesday, July 19th and 20th, were rained out and will be played as the third game on the 22nd, 26th and 29th unless one of those nights is rained out. Thursday, July 22nd, Hiller Construction met Tekos and whomped them 14 to 4. Hiller Construction batted around in two innings to collect 12 runs in the 3rd and 5th innings. Tekos had four runs in the first and one in the third. They failed to bring any more runs across. In the last four innings Teko's had only 3 hits. Hiller Construction first three batters, Jim Quinn, Jim Yaworski and Dick Kaslausky all had 3 hits for four at bats. John Sytsma of Teko's also went three for four. Teko's Hiller Const. 4 0 10 0 0 0 5 0 0 7 2 5 0 14 Monday, July 26 Coppermine and Teko's met and again proved to be a close game with the final ending up to be 3 to 2. Both teams were hitting poorly and both teams hits combined was only 13. Coppermine getting 6 hits and Teko's getting 7. With everything pretty even (even the errors) the outcome was the same. Teko's on top. Coppermine has been so close to winning ballgames this year that their 1 and 15 record doesn't really show what kind of team they are.

Their attractively sculptured? shapes and glistening surfaces are refreshing to the eye, and they are cooling and smooth to the taste, whdtting the appetite for more. A molded salad can be a meat by itself. Perfect for lunch on a sunny afternoon is Beet fnd Citrus Salad, created by home economists for Aurtt Nellie's Foods. The salad combines the tang of pickled beets, lemon and orange with zip of horseradish and the mel­ lowing richness of cottage cheese. Crisp celery provides a contrast in textures. Serve Beet and Citrus Salad on fresh salad greens with a topping of mayonnaise. BEET AND CITRUS SALAD (Makes 6 Servings) jar (1 lb.)

This super heat penetrates down into the living areas, making the en­ tire house uncomfortably warm day and night. Most static ventilators can't remove this heat fast enough to keep attic temperatures at a proper level. It takes POWER VENTILATION to do the job properly. A powered roof or wall mounted ventilator with ade­ quate intake vents reduces attic temperatures auto­ matically. It removes hot moist air rapidly ... keeps your house cooler 24 houis a day . . . and alleviates condensation problems. Operation is thermostatically controlled, so the fan runs only when needed. Homeowners with air conditioning find that the opera­ tion of their systems are more efficient and more eco­ nomical when combined with an attic ventilator fan. This means less maintenance, lower electrical operat­ ing costs that takes the load off the air conditioner.

Anderson finp the let reus in THIS PICTURE THAf^PCLL (OY It's Tine for Real Reform in Congress v / The real scandal on Capi­ tol Hill goes beyond the tit­ illating headlines about * ag­ ing politicians and comely secretaries. The most fla­ grant abuse has been the failure of the majority in the House to act on the nec­ essary reforms. Congress should not be run with the clubby atmosphere of an ex­ clusive preserve; it can and must be made more open, ef­ ficient and accountable. The public outcry at the scandals has resulted in considerable pressure -for reform in Con­ gress. But the measures that have passed so far amount to little more than book-juggl­ ing and commission studying. In January 19 75, the Demo­ crat dominated 94th Congress was dubbed "reform minded" by the press, because of the overthrow of several aging committee chairmen. But the winds of change grew stale and stagnant, leaving the erstwhile reformers becalmed on a sea of bold promises and great expectations. Mean­ while, the power and privi­ lege was exercised in secret as the influence of baronial politicians continued to grow. There are now 150 subcommittee flefdons, com­ pared with 132 in the last Congress, a confusing, jerry- built hodgepodge of overlap­ ping jurisdictions. It is only in such an atmosphere that an Elizabeth Ray could be stashed and kept on an un- scrutinized public payroll. Committee Reorganization In the 93rd * Congress we created a special committee on committees to try and make some sense out of our tangled committee system and make re­ commendations for change. It reported back early in 1974 with a set of proposals to reorganize the Committees, functionally and rationally. But the powerful parliamen­ tary pashas drew their swords and cut these proposals back down to size. The Democratic Caucus sat on the resolution for six months, then offered up a watered-down substitute^ that did little more than protect existing turf. The result: in this Congress more committees are taking more time to report more versions of the same bills to a more confused and overburdened House than ever before. Polls have shown that the American people favor the Idea of providing radio and TV broadcast coverage of House Floor sessions. It would increase their aware­ ness of the workings of their government and enable them to keep an eye on their elected Representatives. I served on a subcommittee which recom­ mended that a broadcast plan be adopted before the Bicen­ tennial. But the majority leadership fearc that the cameras might reveal to the public how they really run things around here. This kind of warts-and-all open­ ness does not sit well with their back-room habits, and they were successful in shunting aside this reform provision. The Salary Question And Other Reforms One of the major Watergate reform recommendations was that the full public finan­ cial records be disclosed yearly by Congressmen, Judges, and other high public officials. This bill is still lying dormant In a subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee. Nor have the FORMAL WEAR RENTALS for ALL OCCASIONS I ell § SttooK ....Ote, itw[Mme/t i21^jj^reenS^Jtolferjr^ Congressional powers-that-be seen fit to take action on repealing the automatic cost of living „• raises for Congressmen. Of course public servants, like anyone else, deserve raises from time to time. But the method I favor would specify that any Increases could not take ^lace until after the next election. That would give the w£*rs a chance to pass their Judgement on the Increases, i>fore they were In effect. In February of 1975, I Introduced a series of "Open House Amendments" which In­ cluded several technical, but necessary, reforms. These too have been bottled up In Committee. Nor had any action been taken on other proposals to set up a new Intelligence mechanism, boot the lobbyists off the floor of the House, or Institute a new lobby disclosure law. These are all reform the Am­ erican people are interested in, and they have been side­ tracked, courtesy of the est­ ablished leadership In Con­ gress. As one who is proud to be a Member of Congress I was personally distressed and disturbed by the sex and pay­ roll scandals. But these tawdry revelations should highlight, not distract from, the need for real reform in Congress. Daily Luncheon Special! Cup of Soup BBQ Sandwich 99 Cullom Knoll Tavern 385-9712 909 N.
