Member of The Associated Kress, 5c Per Copy. At Jersey title nr rr ri School Hot Ltmch Program Explained To Rotary Club JERSEYVILLE the Jerseyville Rotary Club at its weekly meeting in the Jerseyville Elementary School Cafeteria Monday noon heard an explanation of the manner in which the school hot lunch program is operated and financed. Principal Glenn Summers was host to the group. The meals are being served at noon now to a group ot from 375 to 400 pupils at a price cents per meal. In cases where indigent children are unable to purchase (he food, the same Is furnished to them without cost.

Before such an arrangement can be made, the parents of the child are interviewed and the situation studied carefully to determine if the condition is such that pay for the meals cannot be made by the child's parents or guardian. Summers explained that some of the foods being used are surplus commodities such as butter, canned beef and other items. The butter by Uncle Sam costs lour cents per pound for expense of transportation etc. Summers staged that Jerseyville Grade School chidren have an unusual appetite for "hot that they would probably eat hot dogs ever day with customary gusto, but the menu is changed and beef utilized. "One need not fear regarding the beef furnished by the government," Summers stated.

"The quality is and our cooks Use It In a va'riely of ways." Monday the school cafeteria served approximately 375 pupils in advance of the Rotarian group. Summers stated that this semester they have been serving fewer free meals than last year. The Rotarians went on a tour of rooms in the old building. Classes were in session, and club members were afforded a first hand look at the overcrowded condition of the local school. Some teachers were found with as many as 47 pupils in rooms qualified to house 30.

MOADWAY AND THIRD STIirr YOUR ACCOUNT IS INSURED UP TO $10,000.00 By I.KE HAXKS Himlin election of Carl Wittmond to the stale legislature last week caused (he writer "to do a little research with George Carpenter's history of Calhoun County as the most prolific source of information. In Wittmond's ea'mpaign literature he made the statement that Calhoun had not sent a slate representative to Springfield for 52 years. This was true, as George L. Aderton of Hnrdin was the last Calhoun man to represent his district, in the lower House. He served the term of 1900-1902.

However, the county fiHd a slate senator in the person of Thomas D. Bare, 1-ter- din newspaper man, who served the term of 1904-1908. Bare, during his campaign, gained the nickname of "The Barefool Boy," for, like most newspaper men of his day, his capital limited and he was said to walked many miles during his tour of the-36th district. Bitter Fight Probably the most controversial and most famous representative the county ever had was the pioneer John Shaw. He ran against Nicholas Hansen in 1822, when all this part of the state was known as Pike County.

There were two sets of election returns sent to the county clerk who certified the set which favored Hartsen. Shaw immediately contested the election and in one of the bitterest fights Illinois history took place. The legislature was closely balanced at that time and there were two important' questions facing it. They were the eleo' tion of Jesse B. Thomas to the United States Senate and the holding of a convention for the revision of the state constitution.

At that time Gov. Thomas Ford made this statement: "Hansen would vote for Thomas, but Shaw would not; Shaw would vote for the convention, but Hansen would not. The slavery party had use for both of them and determined to use them, one after another. For this purpose they decided in favor of Hansen, admitted him to a seat, and with his vole, elected their United States' senator. "And then toward the close of the session, by mere brute force and in the most barefaced manner, they reconsidered their former vote, turned Hansen out of his seat, and decided in favor of Shaw.

With his vote (hey carried their resolution calling for a convention. Ran Again In 1834 The same two men ran for the assembly in 1824. According to the official vole Shaw received Ifi5 votes and Hansen only 83, yet Hansen was given the certificate of election. Shaw contested, hut the House of Representatives seated Hansen. In the election Shaw defeated Levi Roberts 118 to 112, but was again denied a seat in the'Leg- islature.

Shaw was what might aptly be termed a hard luok politician and these records show, that certainly politics were pretty rotten in his day, giving us food for thought when we condemn present day politics. From 1826 to 1840, Calhoun had no representation as it had been attached to Greene'County to make up a district. At that time Greene had about. 2,000 voters and Calhoun had about 2,000. However, after Jersey County was carved from Greene the picture changed and Calhoun, now in a three-county district, sent a representative to most of the assemblies from then till 1900.

Part of 30th District But since that time Calhoun has been a part of the 36th district which includes Adams, Scott, Pike, and Calhoun. Heavily populated Adams has dominated the district nearly all the time, and this next assembly will be the first to the writer's knowledge when Adams did not have two of the three members of the lower House. Now she has the state senator and one representative. Pike and CaJ- houn have the otheo- two. For many "years no Calhoun man had the temerity to try for a legislative post.

Lee Hanks entered the 1944 Republican primary, but met almost solid organization opposition. Lacking Chesterfield CHESTERFIELD. Boh Wiggins is attending Brown's Business College, Springfield. Mr. and Mrs.

Lost In IttftO No one else from Cnlhoun made the race, until Wittmond entered the 1950 Democratic primary, He mode spirited campaign and lost by less than 100 votes. This yeiir he entered the primary again and won handily, In the election of Nov. 2, he defeated the other Democrat, Don Irving, by around 4,000 votes and became the third ranking candidate, only a few hundred votes behind Republican George W.

Wilson ot Pike County. The next assembly will find two Republicans and one Democrat representing the 36th district. They are H. B. Ihncn of Adams, George W.

Wilson of Pike, and Carl Wittmond of Calhoun. The stale senator from the district is Republican Lillian Schlagenhauf of Adams County.
