The Dispatch from Moline, Illinois • 14

14 THE DAILY DISPATCH, Moline, Illinois Friday, Aug. 15, 1975 Walker aides urge late primary Kay did not identify the aides who are urging Walker to alter the bill. VFW district meets The Veterans of Foreigh Wars 8th District quarterly meeting will be at 2 p.m. Sunday at Macomb. Charles Pearson of Silvis, district commander, will meet with staff officers at 11 a.m.

The host post and auxiliary will. return to Illinois later for a reelection bid. The major objection to using an amendatory veto to change the primary date, Kay said, is that some provision would have to be made to select Illinois delegates to the national nominating conventions through state conventions or some other mechanism besides the primary. The legislature also would have to approve the bill in its amended version and it is iuieiy any such change would provoke a serious floor fight in both the House and Senate. If either house rejected the proposed change, the bill would die and the primary date would remain the third Tuesday in March, argue Walker probably could not have defeated incumbent Gov.

Richard B. Ogilvie in the general election if he had not made such a big splash as a come-from-behind primary winner. In 1976, however, the "unknown" shoe likely will be on the other party's foot.

(Dispatch Photo) By ROBERT KIECKHEFER SPRINGFIELD, 111. (UPI) -Some of Gov. Daniel Walker's advisors are urging him to use his amendatory veto to set a September date for the Illinois primary, according to aides.

No final decision has yet been made, however, Walker press aide Norton Kay said Friday. The legislature voted this spr-ing to change the primary from the third Tuesday in March to the first Tuesday in May. The chief argument in favor of the change was that it would shorten political campaigns and, thus, cut their cost. While a change to September would compact the process still further, it also could have substantial political advantages for Walker, should the state's election-year scenario play itself out as expected. Many Walker aides, including his top strategist, deputy governor Victor de Grazia, feel the governor is at his political best during a primary fight.

They cite his uphill battle against Paul Simon in 1971 and 1972 and judges eye. They hope, according to organizers, to reestablish recognition of their name throughout the Midwest. The nearby Knights Drum and Bugle Corps in Geneseo has attracted attention statewide, but Alonzo said he knows of no other corps in the immediate Quad-City area. He said some attempts have been made to get one started in Rock Island. Both Alonzo, at 755-6978, and Sapho, at 764-9854, can provide further information for anyone unable to attend Sunday's meeting.

"When these kids came to me and said they wanted to start the corps up again, I asked them if they knew what they were getting into," Alonzo said. "It's a lot of work. "But I'm looking forward to it. If they're willing, I'm willing." Los Amigos corps to march again By DEBBIE MAZZOCCO Dispatch Writer Los Amigos Junior Drum and Bugle Corps is trying to get back on its feet its marching feet, that is. The group disbanded more than two years ago because of lack of personnel and other difficulties.

Now interest has been renewed, and a meeting has been set for 2 p.m. Sunday in the area south of the swimming pool at Moline's Riverside Park. "We're going to work hard all winter long, and we hope to be ready to get back in competi-, tion by spring," Raymond Alonzo of Silvis, an organizer of the corps, said today. New look for Oak Grove Housing Modernization work is beginning on 97 apartment units at Oak Grove Housing's apartments on Morton Drive near 19th East Moline. Metropolitan Housing Authority Director Robert Lee said mansard roofs are being applied to several of the buildings to "make them look less like a housing project." The buildings getting the new roofs were constructed in 1941, Lee said.

Other modernization work, including new bathrooms and furnaces, is going on at 140 other housing authority apartment units. Total cost of all current modernization projects, Lee added, Is $537,000.

A September primary fought under those conditions would mean Democrats could dominate public attention until less than two months before the general election.

For Thompson, that situation would be a serious handicap. A recent poll done for the Chicago Sun-Times and WBBM-TV showed Walker's name is known to 98 per cent of Illinois voters. Thompson, however, is known to only 55 per cent. A September primary also would allow Walker to test any lingering presidential ambitions in other states and still OPEN 9 to 9 sweater, Flare knit of Both green, Alonzo said all Quad-City in a- aiea yuum iBcS 10 iu ic eligible to participate, and that he's hoping for a troop of about 70 young people. "If they're good, if they have musical talent, we'll take them as young as 12," he also said.

The group was founded in 1966 by Alonzo, Bob Weinert and Jim "Red" Blake, and participated in six to 10 contests a year in its peak years. Small town festivals, county fairs and parades also were on the group's agenda every weekend. Memorial Day in 1973 was its last outing, and a July 4th fire that year at the Ybarra-Gomez post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars "really put the clincher SATURDAY mm the 24 be C.V. road work nets a bonus By BEVERLEY UNDBURG Dispatch Correspondent COAL VALLEY In a day when nothing is a bargain, the Village of Coal Valley and Coal Valley Township reaped an unexpected windfall this summer with the resurfacing of Cemetery Road. Original estimates for the project, prepared by Missman, Stanley and Associates, Rock Island, Feb.

14, 1974, were $59,200. The township was told its portion of the cost would be approximately $8, 100 for blacktopping the road which runs past village limits to township territory. That figure was revised to $7,600 later in February. The contract was let Aug. 12, 1974 to Central Engineering, 1 Davenport, for $52,196 and work was begun in July of this year.

But when the total bill recently was mailed to the village, it came to only $49,207. Central officials told the village the $2,989 reduction arose because the original estimate called for more material than was needed. The township's portion was reduced, again, to $5,114 and township clerk Sue Laden said the "bonus" probably would go into the road and bridge fund, which has been short because the maximum tax levy cannot raise enough to meet rising costs. The township had appropriated federal revenue sharing funds for the work. The village's final tab was $44,093, and officials have not said where the "extra" funds will go.

on us because we lost a place to practice," said Alonzo, the VFW Dnst 'A whole new batch of kids seem to be interested now," he said, adding that reformation of the corps has been spurred by Leon Sapho, who recently moved to this area from Chicago. Alonzo said Sapho had been active in drum and bugle corps work in the Chicago area and married Joanne Armstrong of Moline, a former Los Amigos corps member. Former corps members who now are beyond the 21-year-old age limit will instruct younger and new members, Alonzo said, and some will do staff work. Equipment has been stored in two inactive years of the corps, and some 15 drums and one-valve bugles are available. Alonzo said marchers can use their own equipment, but that it's rare these days for anyone to own a marching drum or a bugle.

The color guard girls who carry flags and rifles have been practicing for about three weeks, and some young people gathered last week to form drum lines. Sunday's meeting may include a practice session, too.
