At least that's what the winning suggestion was in a contest to get Winneconne back on the Wisconsin highway map. Miss Janice Badtke, formerly of Neenah, and Miss Kay H. Klipstein, formerly of Fond du. Lac, now both living in Washington, D.C, suggested that "Winneconne secede from and declare war on the United States" to get state officials to put the village back on the map. For their suggestion, the two girls will receive an expense paid weekend in Winneconne as guests of the chamber of commerce.

1.000 Ideas About 1,000 ideas were submitted in a nation-wide contest sponsored by the chamber of commerce after Winneconne was left off the 1967 Wisconsin State Highway maps. After entries were narrowed down to about 10, Gov. Warren Knowles, whose picture appears on the official state map, selected the winning suggestion Sunday in Oshkosh.

If new contracts with the three agencies are not agreed upon before May 30 all three will have to vacate the airport terminal on that date. Engeldinger indicated, how ever, that the door hasn't been closed to further lease negotiations.

There also were further indications of possible lease settlements with one or more of the agencies in the near future. An mDasse aDoarenUv had been reached two weeks ago when the car rental agencies refused to accept the county aviation committee's terms for new leases. The committee is requesting a minimum annual renta of J2.000 or seven ner cent of gross receipts, which- ever is greater. The old lease called for a flat rental of $1,800 annually.

"The health of our citizens is a problem which the entire state has faced as a single community," he told more than 300 persons at the dedication of Sherman Hall, the new $2.5 million treatment building at Winnebago State Hospital. "Wisconsin is a pioneer today in retaining patients in their home communities, through broadening our range of response to mental illness," he said.

Administrative costs in an estate include fees paid to the attorney, fees to the executor who is named in the will to handle the estate, fees to the appraisers of the property and costs of publication of legal notices in the newspapers. I An attorney receives five per cent of the first $10,000 of an estate, 34 per cent of the next $30,000, and 2V4 per cent of anythingover $40,000.

The exe-j cutor receives $10 per day for expenses, $5 on the first $1,000 of real estate, one per cent on the next $19,000 and two per cent on anything over $20,000 in real estate. He does not share in the personal property. Appraisers, of which there are two, are each paid $5 for the first $1,000 of value, 1-15 of one per cent on the next $499,000 and 1-30 of one per cent on anything over that amount. If a person dies without a will, the court appoints an administrator who acts in the same capacity as the executor. The administrator receives the same fees as the executor.

These fees are established as minimums by the state bar association. On a $1,500 estate probated through the Winnebago County probate court, the total cost of administration came to $195, or 13 per cent of the total value. Real Estate Costlier At the other end, it cost $107,560 to probate a $2.1 million estate, or slighty more than five per cent.

The village president, James Coughlin, was reported less than enthusiastic about the idea. Public burning of the state highway maps for 1967 was also offered.

If the estate had been mostly real estate, the cost would have been slightly higher. The cost of administering an $80,000 estate was $4,500, about the same percentages as the $23,000 estate.

It is expensive, but apparently not as expensive as Norman Dacey indicates in his controversial book, "How to Avoid Probate." Dacey, who caused an uproar, particularly among attorneys, claimed the cost of administering an estate through probate averaged 20 per cent for an estate of $20,000, 10 per cent on estates in the $100,000 class and a lesser percentage on larger estates.
