PAGE 2 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER II, 1M4 Opinion/Politics Public puis* - Residents r^ Many help make WX. celebration promise new \ petition drive Editor: In regard- to the Johnsburg Library and our recent petition, one sees that Judge Cowlin ruled in favor of the Johnsburg Library, their showing a higher figure of registered voters than us, but higher doesn't mean that it's right, as our figure comes from the same County Clerk's office. Now more than ever the citizens of Johnsburg, Sunnyside and Pistakee Highlands are more aware of what is going on in and around them. I have talked to Veterans of World War n, Korea and Viet Nam, all agree that the libraries in Illinois are wielding power that the Republicans and Democrats wobld not dare do by splitting any town.in the U.S.A., and in this case, Johnsburg, to meet their wants and gains. Seventy-five percent of your tax dollars go to Johnsburg School District 12, so why not put the library in the high school? After all, it's your school and not that of the school board. They work for you. This is being done in Chicago and nearby suburbs. The library people know this but they want a building of then- own, and for all of us to pay for it. As some people want politics, there are others who want law and order and justice. As I and my cohorts have new petitions, we seek your help, and as for this writer, I don't have to tell you how I am going to vote this November. Earnest E. Schulz Pistakee Highlands Editor: The recently successful 55th anniversary celebration held at Wonder Lake would not have been possible without the assistance of the loeal newspapers, the McHenry Plaindealer and the Woodstock Daily Sentinel. Both were ex­ tremely cooperative in disseminating the information Letters One of the responsibilities of a community newspaper is to provide a forum for public comments. We invite our readers to share their views and opinions. The shorter the letter, the less we will have to edit to fit our space. The McHenry Plaindealer reserves the right to edit objectionable or libelous statements. All letters must be signed with the author's address and phone number (addresses and phone numbers will not be printed). Readers are limited to one letter per month on the same topic. Send letters to The McHenry Plaindealer, 3812 W. Elm St., McHenry, 111., 60050. on both aides of the lake. There is no other way to get the in­ formation to the entire com­ munity. There were a total of nine articles offered, and printed, by these two fine local papers. Thousands of people watched the parade of about 70 units, saw the outstanding rid show, rede the pontoon ' boats, and patronized (he booths set up by the community organizations. Lorraine Murphy, the Wonder Lake postmaster and chairman of the steering committee in charge of the event, gave un- stintingly of her time, spent hours in meetings, and more hours on the phone putting the celebration together. And there were all those volunteers from the fire department and its auxiliary, from the clubs, from the businesses, and from others, including the Rev. Richard Wright who unfortunately had a heart attack just prior to the completion of the planning. And local artist Lynne Raske created the posters, the booklet, and the logos for the T-shirts. All of those mentioned and others assisted in making the 55th a fun time for all. Van Sells, Wonder Lake. GOP signs draw fire from resident Editor: I would like to comment on the tillboards placed throughout the county by the McHenry County Republican Central Committee. They state, "Are you registered to vote? Chicago is." I, personally, find these signs childish and racist.

Maybe you should think again. Because, as important as these and other major firms are, it's the small companies that form the foundation of our economy .The vast majority of Illinois businesses, 90-95 per cent, are small businesses. These small firms are growth firms, accounting for virtually all new jobs and new product innovations Small businesses are the No. 1 employers, producers and in­ novators in the state. They hold the key to the state's future and any long term improvement in the Illinois business climate must consider the needs of the small business. Toward that end we approved, and Governor Thompson signed into law this month, several measures designed to encourage small business development and help reduce costs to small firms. Two of the most important bills create a "one step" aid office to help Illinois firms and establish a special council to encourage the development of minority - and female-owned businesses. Springfield Report The new Business Assistance Office will serve as a clearinghouse for Illinois firms to obtain information on ser­ vices available to businesses and answer questions regarding forms, applications and permits required of business by the state. The assistance offices will also provide information about state and federal contracts which Illinois firms can bid on, study the effect state rules have on small businesses, work with state agencies to develop flexible regulations for small firms and establish a statewide network of small business development centers to provide technical and managerial assistance to small firms. To encourage more minority - and female-owned business participation in state contracts a statutory goal of awarding at least 10 percent of all such contracts to firms owned by minorities or women has been established. A similar goal has been state policy since 1982, but it was never formally written into law. This bill also creates a Minority and Female Business Enterprise Council to monitor compliance with the law Cutting the losses small businesses suffer because of bad check artists is the goal of another new law. Persons who habitually pass bad checks will liable for triple the amount of the check. Each year bad check artists cost Illinois businesses an estimated $700 million. ^^^B«BCOUPON wrnwmwmmm EARLY bird special |M|ILSTRIA««S A VI s5 ON RADIATOR FLUSH! & ANTI FREEZE ! union REG.
