Eber Bassett is shown with his horse and buggy used to deliver wall on a rural route from June 1, 1905, to October, 1914, when he was appointed West McHenry postmaster. The home is that of his father, Wilbur Bassett (standing to the right in picture). This was later known as the Benwell farm on Rt. 120, west of McHenry. In a July, 1935, issue the Plaindeaier carried a story of Eber Bassett's retirement. Following is a portion of the report on a banquet held in Mr. Bassett's honor: An outstanding demonstration of the respect and friendship of a community for a fellow citiien was manifest Monday evening when over 100 local business and professional men gathered at the Riverside hotel at a dinner in honor of Eber E. Bassett, who retired July 1 as postmaster of the West McHenry postofflce, after 30 years in government services. McHenry BPW Members Attend Conference Cathy Nolan and Lynne Donarski of McHenry were two of 400 women from across the nation who at­ tended the national legislative conference of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs (BPW) held in Washington, D.C. early this month. The two-day conference was designed to give BPW members the grassroots lobbying skills necessary to address what they call the problems women face as the Regan Administration d i s m a n t l e s f e d e r a l programs designed to open opportunities to women, minorities and the poor." BPW, founded in 1919, is the nation's oldest and largest organization of working women, with 165,000 members representing every, Congressional 4i^cJi in ,tne countFy. " . > v The conference opened with a keynot speech by Rep. Millicent Fenwick (R.-N.J.), who vowed not to vote for any additional cuts in social programs until other budget items, including defense, were subjected to similar scrutiny. Fenwick's address was followed by a pre­ sentation by Rep. Mary Rose Oakar (D.-Ohio), who reviewed the current economic status of women and concluded that America's women would become primary victims of proposed cuts in federal social programs. Closing the conference was syndicated columnist Erma Bombeck, who ad­ dressed the group on "A Woman's View on the Way to Equal Rights." Passage of the ERA has been the top legislative priority of BPW ,since 1937. / -nA Qonferjpnce. were urged to return to their local communities with a renewed commitment to promote economic and social justice through the legislative process.

I'Agaspump OVERDRIVE If you are buying a new car, by all means buy one with overdrive. This excellent invest­ ment will pay for itself in a short time. Over­ drive can improve high­ way fuel economy up to 25tt. Some new cars have a 5-speed trans­ mission instead of over­ drive, the fifth or highest gear acts much j the. .same as an over­ drive. ' What factor releases the mositure of the air, acquired by evaporation over the vari­ ous areas of the earth, pro­ ducing life and vegetation? We know that rftillions of tons of water are absorbed by the air through evaporation every second. This gives the layer of gases above the sur­ face of the earth (our weather) its moisture. As this air rises, usually because of heating from the earth, which is heated by the sun, it ascends into colder temperatures. In colder weather air condenses and its water capacity decreases. When the dewpoint is reached, or when the mois­ ture content becomes the absolute maximum, precipi­ tation is finally triggered by a combination of almtide and low temperature. w a n n u u i \ 3 s a y s . 1 LOST 40 LBS. . . .
