At least that is the conclusion one would reach after talking with Rob Papini, a Rhodesian exchange student who just finished working for a week with the Illinois Senate. " Everything is so open\" he said. "Anyone can come and see what is going on, and everyone has the chance to talk " The 16-year-old scholar, being sponsored in the U.S. by the Rotary International and the Woodstock. Illinois Rotary club, spent the week of April 4 working as a page on the floor of the Senate. His Springfield trip was arranged by State Senator Jack Schaffer, R-Cary He said he was most impressed with the General Assembly for its participatory democracy, where the system is open to public involvement Rob, who comes from I'm­ tali, a city of about 20,000 near Rhodesia's eastern border with Mozambique, said he was also impressed by getting to meet Illinois Governor Jim Thomp­ son "I think it's safe to say that Rob impressed us as much or more than we may have im­ pressed him," Senator Schaffer stated. "He is exceptionally bright and displayed a very- quick grasp of what was going on in the Senate chamber. Schaffer also said ,the young visitor did equally well im­ pressing people at unofficial gatherings. His grasp of both world history and world politics in general and his knowledge of American government in particular is something I hope that all American teenagers strive to achieve. FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 21. 1927) McHenry's city election was held Tuesday, April 19, after rather a heated campaign between Peter W. Frett and John R. Knox for the office of mayor. Both candidates made an active canvass of the voters and it was expected that the race would be a close one at the finish. Mr. Frett was the victor with a majority of exactly fifty votes, he receiving 366 to Mr. Knox's 316. 699 votes were cast in all the three wards, being probably the largest number ever cast at any city election in McHenry. Gerald J. Carey won out easily in the race for city treasurer over Jack Worth. The vote was 474 to 98. The proposition for a two mill tax for band purposes was lost, because it did not receive the necessary majority of the votes cast Easter Sunday, April 17, was While in the U.S., Rob is living in Woodstock and at­ tending Woodstock high school, where he is a junior. When his school schedule permits, he is also getting a chance to make some trips to other parts of the United States. But what he looks forward to most is an extended trip planned for next summer through the American east and south when he will get an op­ portunity to examine in greater detail the differences in lifestyles between Americans in different parts of the country.

The McHenry Plaindealer is requested to make an appeal to parents in McHenry to see that their children are not allowed to disturb residents during the evenings, in the way of ringing doorbells and throwing rubbish on front porches.- FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 22, 1937) A new civic organization has been launched with twenty-two charter members--The McHenry Lions Club. At an organization meeting held in Legion hall this movement was started by applying for a charter from Lions In­ ternational and the election of officers to serve until June 30 of this year, on which date the regular election occurs for new offices to serve for one year. C.H. Duker was elected the first president: Roy Miller, proprietor of the Empire theatre, is making some notable improvements at the theatre this week which will greatly improve its at­ tractiveness and appearance. A new front is being made and the canopy is being built in addition to other improvements. There will also be* an addition made to the cooling system inside, which will afford greater comfort to patrons during the summer months. The Senior class play, "It's Dad Who Pays" will open Friday night. Members of the cast and their director, Miss Stevens, have been working hard at rehearsals and hope to present a finished production for the entertainment of their many friends. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 24, 1952) The body of Corp. Melvin Jones, 18, of Wonder Lake, is scheduled to arrive in McHenry early this evening from Korea and will be at rest at the Peter M. Justen and Son funeral home Military rites will be conducted from the chapel. Corp. Jones enlisted Dec. 2, 1950 and was sent overseas in the spring of 1951. He was killed in Korea as the result of shrapnel wounds on Feb. 10 of this year. Two McHenry youths were among five who were placed on probation for two years by Judge Henry Cowlin and given suspended sentence of sixty days each. The local boys were charged with taking cigarettes and money from the Guettler service station. A new grand jury was selected last week by the board of superviors. On the regular panel are included Peter F. Freund and William Hiller of McHenry, while the . sup­ plemental panel includes Mike Freund, Jr., and Ben Justen. Owners of the new local business, McHenry Oil Burner Sales & Service, are Ralph Bennett and Donald M. Freund. The business is located at 427 Riverside drive. Besides burner sales and regular service, the men do sheet metal work and gas conversions. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 27, 1967.) McHenry Supervisor Walter Safe Kite Flying Whether you prefer a traditional kite, a fancy owl model or a more streamlined style, take a moment to review safe kite-flying techniques just as Paul Collins and Jennifer and David Trch are doing with Commonwealth Edison company linemen Tom Cragg and Alton Thomas and crew leader Ken Mulcrone. First, start with a kite made of "old-fashioned" basics-wood, paper, string and cloth. Metal or wire should not be used because they can conduct electricity, causing injury if an accidental contact is made. Look for an open space to fly your kite. Avoid dangerous places such as areas near power lines, TV and radio antennas, trees and streets or highways. Fly your kite only in good weather, never in the rain. A wet kite string can conduct electricity or lightning down to the flier. Finally, if your kite should be snagged in a tree or tangled in a power line, leave it there. Climbing trees or utility poles-or entering "off limits" areas-to retrieve a kite just isn't worth the risk of injury. With these safety tips in mind, your kite is bound to be a high flyer! Better Eating• M ST1RT TO FIIISI The Kitchen Almanac Dr. Evelyn Johnson of the USDA Extension Service points out that food shop­ pers should do more than read labels. They should learn from them. A label that begins with "water, sugar, orange juice . . ." includes just what the label claims - more water t h a n a n y ­ thing else (because "water" is listed first). "Gravy, beef, and car­ rots" means there is more gravy than meat, she says. * * * Most dark-green and deep- yellow vegetables excel as dependable and inexpensive sources of vitamin A . . . Dried vegetables should be stored in tightly closed con­ tainers in a cool, dry place. * * * Cooking in today's hectic world - Both married and single folks who cook are coming to rely on the hot-wa­ ter dispenser, according to re­ searchers for Kitchen Aid ap­ pliances. Dispensing instant steaming hot water (up to 190°F. hot) at the turn of a knob, the unit provides a quick start on meal prepar­ ation. It's an ideal cook-aid in preparing "instants" -- tea, coffee, cereals, soups, gelatins and gravy. And, the hot water dispenser helps speed up preparation of dishes such as potatoes, stroganoff, rice, Dean was unanimously elected chairman of the board of supervisors at Tuesday's reorganizational meeting. His name was placed in nomination by Assistant Supervisor Ed­ ward Buss, also of McHenry. Janet Lawson, an eighth grade student at St. Patrick's parochial school, was a member of the top rated team in a math contest held at Marian high school. Janet, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Lawson, was one of a four-member team, among six teams from the area par­ ticipating. Others from St. Patrick's taking part were Leo Thompson, John Nuber, Debbie Miller, Carol Wilt and Bill Herkes. Newly elected Aldermen Frank Hromec and Jerome Rogers were sworn into office by Mayor Doherty. He also extended best wishes to retiring alderman Harry Conway. County Treasurer Cal Skinner, Jr., issued a report of tax rates for cities and village for 1966 and 65, based on $100 assessed valuation. McHenry was listed at 4,516 compared to 4.204 the previous year for an increase of 7.4 per cent.

(2) Season with salt and pep­ per, if desired. (3) Add small amount of liquid, if necessary. (4) Cover tightly. (5) Cook at a low temperature until done. * • * .

Truck Radials Radial tires have become so popular on new automobiles that some White House plan­ ners are suggesting the gov­ ernment should make them mandatory, as a way of im­ proving gasoline mileage. But they are still the exception rather than the rule on heavy duty trucks. Nonetheless, the growth in use of truck radials is im­ pressive in percentage terms, with the market likely to grow 25 per cent this year, according to projections made by Uniroyal. The rub­ ber company figures that one out of ten replacement tires bought for trucks this year will be radial, and that they will capture 26 per cent of the replacement market by 1980. Those forecasts are lead­ ing Uniroyal to boost its own production of heavy duty radials by 40 per cent. ••• The Tire Industry Safety Council says the severe win­ ter of 1976-77 is expected to produce a record number of potholes on America's streets and highways. This in turn will create an additional haz­ ard to tires. The Council says properly inflated tires and re­ duced speeds on bad roads are the best way to deal with potholes. Michigan is considering banning from its freeways all tank trucks carrying flam­ mable liquids. The state Sen­ ate is looking into the safety hazards of such vehicles in current hearings and may end up with compromise legis­ lation that holds the tank trucks to a lower speed than other trucks, toughens in­ spections, and requires spe­ cial certification for drivers of dangerous cargoes. Truman Talks Harry Truman often told this gag on himself: "There was a Californian who remarked to a man from Houston that he heard Truman was going to raise taxes The Texas man stood up and knocked the msitor cold with an upper cut to the jaw "What did you do that for?" "/ thought he said Truman uxis raised in Tex­ as!"
