Motorist Receives Ticket In Sunday Afternoon Crash A collision at the corner of Elm and Court streets Sunday afternoon resulted in a ticket for Ellen T. McKee of 513 N. River road. McHenry. She was cited for failure to yield right of way. According to city police, the McKee auto pulled from Court street into the path of a car driven by Kevin M. Cadotte of 3202 Skyway. McHenry. Cadotte was traveling east on Elm when the collision took place. A car driven by Helen J. Areint of 1716 N. Rogers, McHenry, went out of control as it turned the corner from Home onto Highview avenue Monday afternoon and damaged the lawn at 1612 High- view. The car hit a small embankment, travled up a driveway and skidded into a mailbox before coming to a stop. Mary J. Logan of 3418 W. Johnsburg road, McHenry, was injured after her car left the road and hit a tree about 1:45 Thursday morning. The one- car accident occurred on Route 120 near Thompson road, west of Wonder Lake. She was taken to McHenry hospital by a passing motorist.

Low Winter Humidity Creates Home Problems Although a great many homeowners are concerned about their heating require ments during winter, perhaps even more are considering the potential problems caused by low indoor relative humidity conditions. Most area residents are well aware of the damage that can result from low humidity. In fact, there is often a need for indoor humidification in most parts of the country, accord ing to meteorologists for Sears, Roebuck and Co. After explaining that his company keeps tabs on the w e a t h e r s o c u s t o m e r s ' weather-related needs can be predicted. Sears meteorologist Arlo W. Gambell described the conditions causing most low humidity problems in the home. When air is heated, he said, it expands, but the amount of moisture remains the same. In other words, the heat ex pansion causes a drop in the relative humidity level, often to extremely low levels. "For example," Gambell ex plained, "if the outside read ings are 20 degrees with 100 per cent relative humidity, a home heated to 72 degrees will have an indoor relative humidity reading of around 13 per cent. "Dry air draws moisture from everything in the house, Including furniture, plants, plaster and people," the Sears weatherman said. "Some of the symptoms are loose- jointed furniture, cracked plaster, squeany noors axiu static electricity in upholstery and rugs." Short of moving to another climate, the only solution to the dry months ahead ap pears to be a furnace-mounted or portable humidifier. Fur nace-mounted humidifiers can add as much as 25 gallons of moisture in a day in forced- air heating systems. These u n i t s o p e r a t e b y p u l l i n g heated, dry air from the fur nace and forcing it through a water-saturated medium be fore it is circulated around the home.

Free fair admission and parking and grandstand show tickets will be awarded to the person submitting the winning name. Previous fairs PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1976 have been named "SuperFair '75" and "Freedom Fair '76". Contestant should write their suggestions at the top of a single sheet of paper followed by an explanation (50 words or less) of the name. Mail entries to "Name the Fair Contest", Discount For Delay "Yes, it was a case of love at first sight." 'Why didn't you marry him?' P.O. Box 576, Springfield 62705. "I sawhim several times afterward." HUMIDIFICATION NEEDS are charted on map prepared by Sears meteorologists. Requirements are highest in the states of Montana, Wyoming and Colorado and lowest in Pacific Coast and Southeastern states. The numbers on the map indicate "average annual humidification hours"--the number of hours in a typical year when the relative indoor humidity is less than the equivalent of 30 per cent at 70 degrees F. a rotating belt system and can supply 17 gallons of mois ture per day. A fan pulls in d r y a i r a n d f o r c e s i t t h r o u g h the belt, which is constantly rotating through the unit's water tank. A humidifier is necessary, Gambell said, when the in door relative humidity level is around 30 per cent or lower. And, in winter, falling below this level is fairly common.

RIVERSIDE DRIVE - McHENRY, ILLINOIS (Quarter Beer Nite--Tues-Wed & Thurs. "1980" Campaign On! for what it's worth Hanahan fires, misses Marx By L. S. Clemens, Executive Editor State Rep. Thomas J. Hanahan has turned to scholarship in his bid for reelection in the 33rd District. He needs help. Oh my, does he need help. In an Aug. 19 letter to Democratic precinct committemen in the 33rd District, for instance, he writes: "The whole gospel of Karl Marx can be summed up in a single sentence: Hate the man who is better off than you are. "Never under any circumstances admit that his success may be due to his own efforts, to the productive contribution he has made to the whole community. "Always attribute his success to the exploitation, the cheating, the more or less open robbery of others. "Never under any circumstances admit that your failure may be owing to your own weaknesses, or that the failure of anyone else may be due to his own defects - his laziness, incompetence, improvidence, or stupidity. "The preceding statment by Karl Marx has been inserted in this letter because I am sick and tired of the idiotic actions of some less than intelligent people who whisper and sneak around making false statements." Isn't that wonderful? It has, though, one pronounced weakness: Karl Marx never made such a statement, or anything close to it. What Marx, Engels and a few score other communist theoreticians have said, though, is that they fully expected the capitalist system to fall by the weight of its corrupt of ficials - and lack of attention by its beneficiaries. Ideologists of all persuasions, including capitalism, agree on these possible weaknesses yet we survive because this nation fortunately does not have a lot of 33rd Districts where a Hanahan can be combined with a parasitic Democratic organization, an apathetic Republican majority, and a unique cumulative voting system. For those who don't keep up with these things, Hanahan is a man who clears $100,000 a year in salaries and campaign gifts, one third of which he receives as a McHenry County legislator, two thirds of which comes from Chicago labor unions. His name appears on almost all legislation that has anything to do with labor "benefits," and on riders involving construction contracts. This is apprently what Hanahan means by "his success." Then, too, the almost two year delay in bringing him to trial of federal charges of committing fraud in carrying out his legislative chores may be adding to his feeling of well being. This delay has been engineered by his lawyers who challenged the right of the prosecutor to use Hanahan's own words and public record as a legislator as evidence against him. Hanahan has found two benefits in this delay . He tells reporters - and voters - that he can't answer questions about the charges "because the case is in the courts," and cries that an injustice has been done to him because "they won't give me a trial." He compounds all this in his latest letter, to wit: "For 21 months, I have requested an immediate trial concerning the allegations about my integrity. "I have done nothing to hinder, or slow down the judicial process that I may receive a fair trial; the Republican prosecutors have deliberately slowed down the process so that my trial may become a campaign issue." Along with tutoring on the works of Karl Marx, someone ought to tell Hanahan that his lawyers work for him, and that it is they, not the federal prosecutors, who have tortured legalities to keep him out of the courtroom. The prosecutors have had no choice but to haul this challenge - successfully-through the court system as long as they thought they had a case. If Hanahan has indeed "requested an immediate trial," then his lawyers have not listened to him and ought to have been fired, certainly should not be paid. Had Hanahan taken such a course, the "fair minded American" to whom he now appeals might now have a better means to judge the measure of "respect" he has "earned" in 12 years as a legislator. As it is, his record is suspect. Daily Courier-News, Elgin, III. Wednesday, September 1, 1976 Hanahan's next sentence in the letter referred to by Mr. Clemens reads: "Some of the recent rhetoric I have read in paid newspaper articles submitted by a so-called Democratic candidate for the General Assembly, advocates division and hatred among Democrats, and seems to be a take-off from the philosophy of Karl Marx." In this personal attack, reminiscent of the late Sen. Joe McCarthy, I am the "so-called" candidate.The only thing I have done to divide our party is to oppose Tom Hanahan, to run against him as Democratic State Representative, and I do this strenously. Hanahan resorts to such attacks because I have detailed for the first time ever his salary and expenses ($61,000 last year) from three Chicago labor unions and the fact that his campaign is financed by a $30,000 dinner sponsored by Chicago labor bosses. While working for these big union fat cats in Springfield, he is also being paid $32,000 in salary and expenses by the taxpayers to represent us. I say this obvious conflict of interest is wrong, that the taxpayers, you, are being cheated. I have also called for Hanahan to step aside until his name has been cleared on federal charges of extortion and mail fraud. I don't believe voters want laws made for them by someone accused by a federal jury of breaking the law. I also oppose his proposal for a 20 per cent income tax increase; I say we must cut spending. I oppose his position that public employees be given the right to strike. I support the Political Honesty Initiative; Hanahan vehemently op- opposes a conflict - of - interest law. So I am asking for votes and contributions from Republicans, Independents and Democrats alike. As Mr. Clemens says, our unique cumulative voting system (where each voter has three votes), and the fact that Republicans have not taken an interest in who their third representative is, has led to Hanahan's "success." Because our district is heavily Republican (64 per cent to 36 per cent), incumbent Republicans Cal Skinner and Bruce Waddell are assured re-election. Vote for one or both of them if you feel strongly that they are doing a good job. But remember that you have three votes for state representative. I urge you to cast at least one, preferably 14 or all three votes for me, to help me defeat Tom Hanahan for the third seat. / .
