Two of the judges frequently gave blanket admonishments at the beginning of court sessions, even though admonishments given individually are required by law for each guilty plea. The committee recommended that upon appointment, judges Should attend the National College of State Judiciary, Reno, Nfev..;_ or as an alternative, sit in with another judge for a spedfiedjaeriod of time (one to two months, perhaps) so to The committee recommended individual admonishments on guilty pleas as the law requires. Judge Cooney agreed that individual admonishments should be piven. Other Concerns We recommend that judges raise the bond more often when the defendant has forfeited his original bond and that the filing State Legislature revise the bond statutes. ^ Judge Cooney commented that the procedure required in a "no-show" case frustrates persons in the criminal justice system just as it has the monitors. Any change must come from the legislature. As the majority of defendants appear to be represented by the public defenders, we question the ease with which they are committee recommends an examination of whether it would be more expensive to investigate affidavits or assign public defenders automatically. Judge Cooney stated that the accused who is asking for the public defender usually fills out an affidavit or is examined in court. ~ -if the latter, a court reporter is not always present. If the charge is a felony and the accused has been given the public (defender, he will be examined again for indigency when he is i arraigned before the felony judge. Frequently at time of arrest he will be without funds or unemployed but by the time of !' arraignment his circumstances will have changed. If so, at that time, the public defender will be permitted to withdraw. Observations 1. One monitor stated, "The judge, public defenders and state's attorneys generally seem to expect that defendant should know procedure. While they appear helpful when asked, they also show signs of impatience with people's 'ignorance'." 2. The average starting time was less than five minutes late. S. It was noted that, "One judge tries to complete a case if it's possible. If defendant needs a public defender, he allows time the same day for entering a plea, etc., instead of automatically setting another court date. On trials, Judge would hold trials instead of automatically setting new date if defendant and attorney were thought to be available later in the day." 4. A total of 47 percent of our monitors felt that the bailiffs didn't always explain to the people when to step forward, where to stand and when to exit, mainly as there was no need as in our courtroom, these procedures were usually obvious. » 5. We would like to see a revision in the statutes that allow a ; defendant to repeatedly forfeit his bond and then appear in court * within thirty days only to have the bond forfeiture vacated. The "court-wise" defendant is well aware of these laws and frequently abuses them, thus causing many delays in his case ana consequently discouraging many witnesses from r. appearing.

"A Guide for Precosting food for School Food Service" (Program Aid No. 118S) provides step by step in­ structions on how to precost recipes, individual food items, and complete menus. A detailed table breaks down the cost of various quantities of purchased food to give the cost of one serving of food. This guide is a basic aid to the operation of child nutrition programs. It is being issued in preliminary form for a trial period of at least one year to allow USDA time to receive comments, reactions, and suggestions on its use before finalization. Copies of this publication have been distributed to State agencies which' administer Child Nutrition Programs. Operators of such programs can obtain copies from their state educational agency or from the regional offices of USDA's Food and Nutrition service. TTr Humor And Hazards Illinois 100 Years Ago ILLINOIS NEWS OF A HUNDRED YEARS AGO Humor. Hazards, and Several Oddities (Special from the Illinois State Historical Society, Old State Capitol, Springfield, 111. 62706) Living in Illinois a hundred years ago presented many hazards and some incidents that were humorous, according to reports in the newspapers of 1877 in the Illinois State Historical library in Springfield. There were also happenings that could be duplicated today. On the lighter side, the Rock Island Argus carried the story of the livery stable keepeq who owned "a fine lot of coach dogs. These dogs are white, with Mack spots all over than, and are noted for their docile, not to say cowardly, dispositions." Every time the livery stable man took his carriage out the dogs followed, only to be at­ tacked by the "town dogs" and "as easily overcome as a lot of sheep." The "livery stable man stood this as long as he could" and then one day he bought a large white bulldog. He kept the bulldog at the stable until it had b e c o m e " t h o r o u g h l y acquainted with the coach dogs. The bulldog was then sent to the barber's shop, and black spots were neatly painted or dyed all over him , so that he looked like a veritable coach dog, with a somewhat short nose and elongated lower jaw." The next time the carriage went out all the dogs followed and the town dogs launched their) customary attack "thinking they would have their usual sport and victory; but in this they were mistaken, the bull-dog waded in, and the way the hair and sausage-meat flew was a caution. Since that time the coach dogs have been left alone." Uncle Sam Artus was known in Quincy as the "monarch of fishermen" but the Daily Herald published a story of how he was "deliberately swindled out of a ten-dollar Mil." Uncle Sam Was challenged by a man named Pearsoll to a contest to see who could catch the larger black bass in a day's fishing. They set out in the morning, each with a partner in his boat and a shotgun "to shoot any duck that we come acroet." When they returned in the evening Uncle Sam had what he called a "reg'lar whale." But Pearsoll insisted that his fish was larger and they agreed to weigh the caftches. Pearsoll's was heavier by half a pound a n d U n c l e S a m p a i d o f f . A part of the agreement, however, was that the loeer would get the fish. When Uncle Sam cut open the winning bass he found "mor'n two poun* o' shot in him. That ar Pearson had poured all his infernal duck shot down the throat of that ar bass to make him weigh." Pearsoll left Quincy for Chicago the next day and was never seen again. The fisherman was not the only villain in 1877 Illinois, however. The Springfield State Rigister reported the story of an Olney railroad worker whose job kept him away from home six days a week. White be was gone his wife was being entertained by a local doctor. At the same time the railroad man was visiting a widow in Bridgeport. All went well until the widow "sued the husband for bastardy." The railroad man's "wife assured him of her lasting affection in spite of all, lovingly forgave and induced him to sign over his property in her name, to checkmate the Bridgeport widow. He did so and his spouse then eloped with Dr. Finch." , Railroading had other hazards than matrimonial and rarely was there an issue of a paper that did not report a worker's accidental death. And many women died in home accidents. The Rode Island Argus told of one who was killed "by the explosion of a can of kerosene she was using to kindle a fire." The Cairo Bulletin reported a woman died when "the lamp blew up;' as she was blowing down the State lavttatioeal Four McHenry county 4-H members recently received "A" ratings at the state 4-H judging contest, thereby qualifying them for the State Invitational judging to take place at the state fair in Springfield. In the dairy area, Barry Nichols of the Hebron Helping Hands 4-H dub and Cindy Ut- ech from Crystal Lake and the Busy Beavers 4-H dufi, will participate in the State In­ vitational Dairy Judging contest Aug. 18. In the horse-judging area, Debbie Dinley of the Rush Creek Rockets 4-H club will be attending the Aug. 87 State Invitational Horse Judging contest. Mandy Aird of the McLakeWood 4-H club in McHenry was eligible to attend this contest except for the age requirement which she does not meet this year. From these invitational contests, teams of four, 4-H members from Illinois phis several alternates will be selected to represent the Illinois 4-H members at the national judging contest. - Poster-Art Contest "4-H-Where the Action Is/' "4-H Gets You Involved" or "4- H-The Sound of Youth" are the themes around which 4-H members can submit entries for the 1877 National 4-H Poster Art program. Posters wUl be accepted at chimney to put it out. The Springfield State Journal carried a long story of the wife of "the well known soda water manufacturer" who perished when her clothing caught fire as she was "engaged in boiling soap in the yard of her residence." A non-fatal incident, repented by the Galena Weekly Gazette, involved a woman who refused to pay her dentist the final 88 for a dental rplate. The dentist "placed his hand in the lady's mouth and forcibly pnsssssed himself of the teeth." He was "fined 810 and costs. the Extension office until Sept. 19. The McHenry c ounty 4-H federation will judge the posters and the three top en­ tries wttl be sent on to the state 4-H office. This selection will take place at the Sept. 19 federation meeting. All state entries will be exhibited at the 1977 National 4-H congress, Conrad Hilton hotel, Chicago1; 4-H members should talk with their 4-H leader or contact the Extension office for in­ formation on design, size, and other details. Japan Visit Two 4-H members and an adult volunteer will be in Japan for four weeks participating in the Japanese Labo program. The youths are Daniel Rosenmayer from Crystal Lake and Kurt Dietz of Barrington, and the adult is Mary Dietz of Barrington. The Labo International Exchange foundation, sponsor of the program in Japan, is a n o n - p r o f i t o r g a n i z a t i o n a c ­ credited by the Foreign Minister of Japan.

And Lyndon Jqhnson, 36th, was born near Stonewall, Texas, on the 27th, in 1908. Peter Zenger was acquitted in a momentous libel trial in New York on August 4th, 1735, an event which has done much to enable American editors since to print the truth. Fulton satted the "Clermont" up the Hudson on the 11th in 1807. Davie Crockett, son of a Revolutionary soldier of Irish descent, was bora on the 17th in 1786 in Hawkins County, Tennessee.
