Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Miller are back home from Arizona, having spent the winter months there. Last November, Illinois became the first state to inaugurate a statewide mock election program for high school students. This is part of a com­ prehensive education program for future voters. Illinois junior and senior high school students voted in the national elections, along with regular registered voters. The elections in local schools in various parts of the state closely resembled actual contests across the country. Candidates came to the schools, political activity was encouraged, campaigning took place, and students wereK supported in their efforts to understand party platforms, candidates' views, and the issues. In some areas, individual schools worked together on a county-wide basis and used puncn-card voting devices identical to those used at the regular polls. Schools cooperated with each other, campaigning time was coor­ dinated, and in some schools, voting took place precinct-by- precinct according to home address. The high school mock elec­ tion program, sponsored by the Illinois State Board of Elections together with the State Board of Education, was felxibly designed so that individual teachers could adapt it to any time frame. Some schools required prior voter registration and nearly all conducted classes in election law. The actual mock election came about as a result of a carefully planned program. More than 2,000 school prin­ cipals and superintendents received background in­ formation, materials and step- by-step details on how to conduct a mock election. The goal of the program was to help make students aware of voter qualifications and registration and to encourage them to in­ vestigate the issues and "speak out" for the candidates of their choice. Along the way, they learned about voting procedures and participation in the actual voting experience. Thousands of students par­ ticipated. Earlier, in the spring of 1976, elementary school children had their own mock election program, voting in the schools for their favorite animal. An estimated 225,000 school children learned about the election process in this en­ deavor. The response from teachers all over tne state has been so enthusiastic that the mock election programs are expected to be repeated. In another mock election, this time for adults, too, the public was invited to vote at the State fair for Illinois' most famous son or daughter. Staff members of the State Board of Elections were on hand to explain the operation of the voting machines and voting devices used in Illinois. Another aspect of the State board's education program is its resource publications, "Illinois Election Briefs," which come out periodically. "Election Briefs" are education guides for high school teachers, published by the State Board of Elections in cooperation with the State Board of Education and the Illinois Council for Social Studies. Sent to more than 1,000 history and civic teachers throughout the state, "Election Briefs" provide background information, suggest student activities and list reference works. "Election Briefs" on Voter Qualifications and Registration, Why Vote? Voting Procedures, Voting Devices, Judges of Election, Pollwatchers, and Getting on the Ballot have been distributed to schools. A special edition of "Election Briefs,,' just issued, provides basic information on the types of local elections held in Illinois and descriptions of various forms of local government. The "Election Briefs" are * We're having an Auto Loan Sale! during the month of May 7 50 Gallons of Gas FREE* (*with each loan made on a new car) McHENRY SAVINGS AND LOAN is having a AUTO LOAN SALE during the month of May.

Instructed As Armor Crewman Wild Animals Persons finding seemingly abandoned young animals in the woods this spring, the Illinois Department of Con­ servation advises, "Look, but don't touch." Many persons take animals home to raise in captivity. However, the animals usually do not lose their wild instincts and become nuisances. Handling of wild animals is also discouraged because of the possibility of rabies in the animals. The nearest conservation officer should be contacted about known abandoned young animals. JEFFREY A. PERGANDE Army Private Jeffrey A. Pergande, son of Bogee T. Pergande, 5610 N. Woodland, McHenry, recently completed training as an armor crewman at Ft. Knox, Ky. The training was conducted under the One Station Unit Training (OSUT) program, which combines basic combat training and advanced in­ dividual training into one 13- week period. During the course, students received training in the duties of a tank crewman, including firing the tank's armament and small weapons. Instruction was also given in field radio operations, map reading, and tank maintenance and repair. Pvt. Pergande entered the army in January of this year. His mother, Mrs. Shirley I Lusk, lives at 10169 Hooper street, San Diego, Calif. Local Man Serving With U.S. Air Force Michael A. Babarsky, son ol Mr. and Mrs. Donald Babar sky, 5715 Meadowhill lane, McHenry, entered active duty with the Air Force in April, according to Sergeant Ernie Foote, local Air Force recruiter. Babarsky will receive his technical training in the general skill area. He is eligible to earn associate degrees from the Community college of the Air Force. WORKWISE J Coal Consideration Secretary of State Alan Dixon recently called for a study to examine the possibility of converting the Capitol complex steam-generating plant from oil to coal-fired burners. Dixon said this would allow coal to be used to heat most state offices located in Springfield. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 1. Now that summer is almost here, my 14-year-old son wants to get a job as a caddy at our local golf course. Should he get a work permit for this? Although the Child Labor law states that no minor under 16 years of age may be permitted to work unless h* or she has a work certifica:t >ne of the exceptions to 'his act is cad- dying at a golf course. As long as your son is at least 13 years of age, he is not required to have a work certificate for this type of employment. 2.1 am considering moving to another town within Illinois, but I would like to find a job there before 1 actually move.
