Jl I \ EARL WALSH" So I Hear Hold Brown My readers know bow I like to stick to ihe facts (well, sometimes), so conflicting stories about a couple of Riverside Drive barbers has me confused. Another vacation! One story is that those overworked clippers need a rest. Another report is they have to clean house and catch up on their garden work. One close observer claims the cash register conked out for lack of oil. We know the lure of fishing ponds in the north couldn't be cause for a vacation. It is all so confusing.^ For more than half a century I have heard the same story from sweet talking receptionists in M.D. and dentist offices. "Sorry, the doctor is running a little behind schedule today." If he's a little behind, I'm a little behinder the longer I sit. John Busscher phoned and wanted to concede victory to the American League in the All-Star game. No dice. I want to beat him on the field of-ptay. On second thought, he decided he needs two more dollar bills to finish papering a room with bets he has won from me. " - (I won't know until this issue has gone to press).

When the package arrived, I thought, "Now what?" Then Alvina found a card I had over looked. (Wives are that way.) Haven't seen so many puzzle books since we visited Coach Stringer. In a letter from Coach, he said he is going to live to the age of 100 years. It just came to me that it will take that long for him to work all those puzzles he has stacked up. Another change in our neighborhood -- a big change. Bill Kreutzer fought a good fight, but finally loat his battle to live. There couldn't be a better neighbor than Bill. He was always ready with a helping hand. We lived across the driveway from each other for 34 years and the only difference we ever had was the long standing Cubs vs White Sox feud. So long, Bill. Hope to meet you up there some day--with just a driveway between us. an- Gcaertc Drugs You may be able to pay less for prescription drugs.

Senator Jack Schaffer, R-McHenry county reports that the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority Adviaory committee, at its July 6 meeting, requested, the operations committee of the Toll Highway Authority to look into the Authority's policy as it relates to the maintenance of local bridgee over the tollway system. The action thr fiqusst of Senator reft wno Slniicated, "thit were starting to develop in many downstate counties, including Boone, DeKalb, McHenry and Lake, concerning the maintenance of overpass structures that were built when the Toll highway as originally cone true ted" Schaffer pointed out that many of these smaller two-lane bridges are for local townahip and county roads where many of these counties and townahipe do not have the funds to pay for expensive deck work. Schaffer cited one example from his diatrict of Spring township in Boone county, where the local bridge tax leVy brings in approximately 96,000 per year. Minor bridge deck repair projects can coat anywhere from 15,000 to 9100,000. Major bridge repair can coat from one-half to a million dollars. Needlesss to say, Spring townahip ia in no noeition to pay for theee types of projects even though their roads cross the tollway and are vital. Schaffer indicated during the course of the Advisory committee meeting, "there appears to be three alternative poeaibilities: one, that tyie bridges be allowed to continue COMMUNITY COUEGi DISTRICT NO. 509 COUNTIES OF KANE, COOK, DEKALB, DUPAGE, MCHENRY AND STATE OF ILLINOIS.
