William Burns, clinic chairman, re ported today. The doctors 'of Macon County contributed almost one-third of this amount, by a "conservative" esti mate, Mrs. Burns said. The physi cians gave services totaling 231.50 with this figure based on minimum rates such as are charged in some medical plans. In addition to these free services by the medical staff of the Community Chest contributed 000 to the operation of the clinics.

These two figures, plus the $1,700 deficit of the clinic during the year, add up to $33,931.50 worth of services. The Community Clinics have re quested a $21,000 allocation from the Community Chest to operate during the present fiscal year. The Chest is now conducting a $254,500 campaign to raise the money for the clinics and 15 other Red Feather agencies. The total number of visits to the clinics in the year ended Aug. 31, was 3,250, a drop of 1,049 from the previous year.

Officials say they know of no reason for the drop in visits but point out that there were 974 few er visits to the immunization clinic than in the previous year. No reason is given for the drop in immunization visits. In addition to the immunization clinic, there are nine other sections of the Community Clinics. These clinics, the number of patients and the total number of visits for each, include: General practice (medical, pedi atric, urology) 27 patients, 522 visits; Venereal, 46 patients, 507 visits; Skin, 12 patients, 79 Eye, ear, nose and throat, 22 patients, 86 visits; Obstetrics and gynecology, 13 patients, 94 visits; Orthopedic, 10 patients, 31 visits; Surgical, 5 patients, II visits; Tumor, 60 patients, 98 visits; Neurology, -1 patient, 6 visits. The immunization clinic had 449 patients who made 1,770 visits.

An eleventh clinic, child guidance, was not included in this annual report by Bums as a separate report on i it was made in August at the completion of its first year of operation. This clinic handled 100 patients, reporting satisfactory adjustments reached in 87 cases. The other 10 MC clinics furnished 762 days of hospitaliza tion for patients. Patients who must be hospitalized pay a token fee of 3 per day, compared with the aver age of about $17 daily for private patients. Voting is no new experience for Benson H.

Henkle, 64, of 371 S. Webster who has cast his ballot in, every presidential election since 1912. A picture of Henkle voting was used on the cover of Burksquib, employe publication of the Decatur Pump as the climax of a five-months program by the company to impress upon employes the need for voting in the national election. Henkle, an employe of the pump company 30 years, has seen many presidents in the last 50 years and as a soldier in World War I was a member of aspecial military guard for President Wood row Wilson when he boarded his ship to return to the United States. Henkle recalls the first presidential candidate he ever saw was William Jennings Bryan, who spoke to a large crowd in Central Park during a.

campaign tour. It was during this visit, Henkle says, that Bryan had his first automobile ride. He also remembers seeing Theodore Roosevelt at the dedication of sT'll'l paion speech of William Howard lviuiiKin university ana trie cam Taft at the Transfer House. Henkle, recognizing the import ance of the individual's vote, says, "The secret ballot is the symbol of freedom. I wonder how many of our citizens realize that a dictatorship cannot exist under our system.

they did, I feel sure that they would not fail to vote. Every true American ought to swear and live up to the following obligation: 'In -the presence of Al mighty God, I do of mv own free will and accord solemnly promise that 1 will bear true allegiance to my country and I will always be loyal thereto and will never bear arms against nor in any way use use my influence to jeopardize its laws or institutions APPOINTED J.

Hannegan to thei' United States Senate. When the admittance of Texas into the Union came up, Hannegan was presiding.

The vote on the floor was a tie and Hannegan was therefore allowed to vote. His "yea" vote admitted Texas to the union. Even ia recent times the importance of one single vote is shown. In 1943 in Ohio and California, the outcome for voting for president would have been changed by a -switch of just one vote per voting precinct. 'The vote of every "single per 'son is important, Henkle savs.

The new firm asked the Federal Communications Commission for channel 17, one of the two ultra high frequency channels assigned to Decatur. The Decatur station would have a visual power of 18 kilowatts, enabling the station to cover a radius of about 40 miles, SbellaWger said. Initial construction cost is estimated at $181,230. Shellabarger, former president of Shellabarger Mills now Checkerboard Soybean Company, said he wants to get the station into operation as soon as possible after a permit is granted. He said l- I 1 rr I iic uau no iniumiaiiun on mm awu tion depending on surroun ding nrnrvrtv nunrrt ani 7nnino rev quiicmcnis, nc saiu.

bhellabarger said bis company plans to obtain a network affiliation when possible. Decatur's two radio stations, WSOY and WDZ, last April announced plans for building TV stations in Decatur. Since then, WSOY has dropped its plans, according Merrill Lindsay, vice president of the Illinois Broadcasting Company, operators of WSOY. He said the decision was based on the advice of network of ficials. WSOY had originally planned to apply for ultra high frequency chan nel 23.

WDZ announced in April it would apply for UHF channel 17, the same one Shcllabarger's company seeks now. Charles Calcy of Peoria, president of WDZ Broadcasting Company, said today his company would probably now apply for channel 23 since the new company asked for 17. He said they did not want to tie up channel 17. Caley explained that his company has its application in process, but that it had been awaiting a statement of FCC policy before actually applying. The FCC policy that WDZ would like decided, Calcy said, concerns persons interested in more than one station.

Caley is also president of Peoria Broadcasting Company which operates Station WMBD tliere. Very high frequency telecasting is in general operation in the United. States now. There are two UHF stations in operation, Caley said. The FCC, in assigning TV channels last spring, did not allocate a VHF channel in Decatur but did allot one each to Springfield and Champaign.

Illinois Broadcasting Company is one of die. applicants for the VHF channel in Champaign. WSOY and station WIAa in Springfield are aiiey ieievision corporation, one channel. The application by Prairie Television lists W. L.

Shellabarger as owning 88 per cent of the stock; brother David S. Shellabarger, secretary, 2 per cent, and Harold G. Cowgill, a Washington, D. C. attorney, vice president, 10 per cent.

Raupp's Shoe Store, Williams fashion Shop, Polrath's Shoe Store, Residents Ask Zoning Change For Kenwood Residents of Kenwood Addition are taking steps to squelch the threat of encroaching industrializa tion.

About a dozen asked the City Council today to change proposed zoning for the area immediately north of the residential development from II light industry to a lesser classification. Robert Jennings, 440 E. Melrose who presented the argument for the residents, said the property is believed to be owned by Poyntelle Downing, neighboring attorney, who developed the Kenwood Addition. Backed by several other residents, Jennings said it is believed present plans are for a lumber yard or truck terminal on the strip 90 feet wide and two blocks long. Several of the delegation said they had been told when the Kenwood development was opened two years ago that the strip would be made into a park and children's playground.

Jennings said residents of the north side of Melrose Court have offered to buy the entire property but Downing told them it is" "not for sale," explaining that he has given it to a son and daughter. The narrow strip divides the resi dential development from the Grohne Concrete Products Company and Illinois Terminal Railroad tracks to the north. The group was advised tb return at 3:30 pim. next Thursday to present their' argument tq the City Plan Commission. The commission will consider proposed zoning for the annexation at the north end of Water Street and several other areas at the meeting.

Members of the group also objected to the present commercial zoning at the northeast comer of the Kenmore Addition on Broadway and "1" heavy industrial zoning east of Broadway. "Our neighborhood has' been blessed with a one-man planning commission out there and that is what our objection is," Jennings said. Byron M. Merris, corporation counsel, pointed out that all the present zoning was in effect when building started in the addition. The vacant property to the north was in dustrial under county zoning before it was annexed to the city.

Members of the group took the opportunity to bring up two' odier neighborhood matters. A woman complained that the IT crossing at Broadway is blocked by trains every Sunday. Jennings said Downing is believed to be contemplating "a factory to recondition bowling balls or some such" in a barn at the west end of Melrcse Court. This is in the area north of the Downing residence which is proposed for residential zoning. Vagrancy Charge Godsey, 48, of 418 S.

Atkinson, Railroad Gang Does Complete Job on Removal of Track Several days ago the Wabash rail-laying gang got instructions to start on removal of the old repair track opposite the Staley Elevator buildings. Complying with the order as nearly as' physically possible, the workers took up the track, all, th3t is, except a portion on which stood three cars loaded with materials to be moved to the shops yard. It was then necessary to restore a connection to another yard track so that the cars could be moved. Annexation Bid Is Filed The Lighthouse, along with the Macon County Bridge, the five-way ccmer to the north and a quarter- mile section of highway south of the lake, is still coming into the city.

A new petition was filed with the City Council today to take the place of one last month which didn't work. John M. Weir, city engineer, said he found several er rors in the legal description ot the area in the former petition. The annexation is now ready for preparation of a city ordinance, Byron M. Merris, corporation counsel, said.

Two previous petitions had been filed in County Court for the Lighthouse annexation; The first had to be thrown out when it was discovered that the area described was not adjacent to the city. It was at that point that it was decided to take in the bridge and highway. The series of petitions has been filed by Walter A. Boughter; owner of the Lighthouse Lete Service Station and Motel at the junction of Route with South Side Drive. The cafe and service station were extended city water this summer on the strength of the first County (Jourt petition.
