Like Thompson, who campaigned in Southern Illinois on Thursday, Howlett assurred downstate supporters that he will not forget this part of the state and its needs if he is elected governor next week. Howlett claimed Democratic governors served Illinois best.

"If you look over the list of men who led this state, you have to come to the conclusion that it has been better served by Democrats than it has by Republicans." Howlett, outgoing secretary of state, attacked Thompson on his stand on the State Fair. "He said he alone would be responsible for picking the people to run the State Fair," said Howlett.

"This irresponsible statement clearly demonstrates why we need a State Fair board rather than one-man domination of the fair. A State Fair board would never threaten to close the fair and send the fair-goers to a neighboring state." The Democratic candidate told the audience in this largely-rural area that Thompson "wants the fair to be run by a city-boy from Chicago himself if he is elected governor."

hopping For those of you who complain that you don't get the opportunity to hear or see bands that were popular back in the 1940s "when we were growing up" I can only say that it's a pity that more of you didn't attend the Herman concert Saturday night. It certainly would have brought back memories of the old days. Herman did announce that on Nov. 8 he and his band will have a musical documentary on Public Broadcasting television so you still have a chance to hear some of the exciting music that has made Herman so popular since 1936. board and then, a year later, another 10 per cent cut." He said excessive government spending leads to serious trouble.

"Great Britain is a horrible example," he said. "Sixty per cent of the national income is spent by the government and now Great Britain is on the verge of collapse." A schist, incidentally, is defined by Webster as "a crystalline rock that can be easily split into layers." And a marcasite in a vein of schist isn't all that rare in Central Illinois. "It's just a rock that somebody thought looked like something it wasn't," said the geologist. Mrs. Henry plans to.

keep it for awhile. Wine theft charged Barbara P. Warner, 18, of 307 E. Jefferson was charged with the theft of a bottle of wine from National Wine and Liquor store, 307 S. Main, Normal, Friday night, Normal police said.

A store employe told police he saw her try to leave the store with the bottle in her purse. She posted $100 to appear in court Oct. 29. "I've been showing it to people. Everybody thinks it's petrified wood." Kirchner took a look at the piece and said, "That's a weirdo." Then the scientist in him took over.

He scraped at it and he poked at it with a little pocketknife. "When you look at a rock around here," he said, "you really can't say much except it came from up north." Mrs. Henry's rock is about 1.7 billion years old or older, said the scientist. It was brought to her backyard between 12.000 and 18.000 years ago by the Wisconsin Glacier. The wood-like grain in Mrs.

Henry's rock is there because of the way the rock was formed. The geologist explained there are three major groups of rocks: Igneous, which is formed when molten lava cools; sedimentary, which is formed from solid matter compressed by various internal pressures of the earth, and metamorphic, which is really igneous or sedimentary rock that has been changed in composition by changes in temperature and pressure. Mrs. Henry's piece of marcasite in a vein of schist is metamorphic in nature and, said Kirchner, when it was formed by changes in temperature and pressure, it became layered. That gives it the wood-grain-like appearance.

It also means it is rather crumbly. Dr. Robert Jewett, an author and professor of religious studies at Morn-ingside College in Sioux City, Iowa, will present a series of public talks Tuesday and Wednesday at Illinois Wesleyan University. Part of the IWU fall lecture series, Jewett's lectures are sponsored by the Religious Life Committee. At 4 p.m.

Tuesday he will speak on "Snatched from Jaws and Inferno: An Introduction to the American Monomyth Via Catastrophic Films." At 7 p.m. Tuesday he will speak on "From Hi-Ho Silver to the Hulk: Beleaguered Redeemers in Paradise." Both talks will be in the main lounge of Memorial Student Center. Jewett also will present the weekly chapel service at 11 a.m. Wednesday in Presser Hall, speaking on "No Lasting City: Pilgrim Realism in a Monomythic World." At 4 p.m. Wednesday in the Davidson I'll admit that some of the tunes I didn't recognize, especially the more contemporary ones iut Herman believes that a musical appeal should be directed not only toward those of us who remember him 30 years ago but those of the present generation who may not be exposed often enough to a big band sound.

That is why Herman holds music clinics in high schools and colleges. He wants to instruct and encourage young musicians. He wants to "please the kids of the kids he pleased 25 years ago." 'Herd now 63, had 'em By Pantagraph wire services HERRIN Democratic gubernatorial candidate Michael Howlett, following a strenuous schedule Sunday through rainy, gloomy weather, said he would like to see Illinois' primary election moved from March to September. Speaking at a breakfast rally hosted by Rep. Clyde Choate, D-Anna, Howlett said he thinks a change in the primary date would benefit everyone.

"I'm going to ask Clyde to put in a bill to move the primary up to September," he said. "It would cut down coEts, ease the wear and tear on candidates and do a favor to the people of the state who have to listen to political oratory all year." Choate, who usually runs ahead of all other candidates in his district, smiled but did not comment. Howlett 's schedule for the day began with 7 a.m. Mass at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church at Herrin, where he dropped a $20 bill in the collection plate. He later returned to Marion and flew to Springfield for a meeting with student government leaders, a television taping and a rally at the rainsoaked State Fairgrounds.

He planned to fly to Chester for a ham and bean dinner at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall, then to East St. Louis for a reception and finally return after midnight to Chicago. Howlett also learned Sunday that the Lindsay-Schaub newspapers, including Carbondale's Southern Illinoisan, en-dosed his Republican opponent, James Thompson. Howlett in the past has enjoyed widespread newspaper endorsement. He said he feels this year he is losing endorsements because editors fear his election could influence the presidential race in Illinois.

"I never met anybody that wouldn't rather have the endorsements than not ha. them," Howlett said. "But some publishers have told me very frankly that they would endorse me for anything but they're afraid when you run for governor, you might interfere with the President of the United States carrying Illinois. "It becomes strictly a matter of being are lots of small bands with big (and noisy) sounds. Herman's band is big and although it might be labeled noisy in a complimentary sense the loudness comes from the instruments of extremely skilled musicians and the effect is one that makes you want to get up and clap your hands, do a bit of swaying and dance to the slower tunes.

In a word Herman and his bandsmen are "great." The band is comprised mainly of brass and woodwinds and each musician throughout the concert Saturday night was allowed several solos. Friedman WASHINGTON (AP) Dr. Milton Friedman, winner of the 1976 Nobel Prize in Economics, said Sunday that the United States needs an amendment to the constitution setting a limit to government spending. He blamed excessive government spending, which he said amounts to 40 cents of every dollar, as the root cause of inflation and the unemployment he believes results. Without endorsing either man, Friedman said "as between their programs, President Ford is directed much more towards keeping down the expansion of government Jimmy Carter favors an expansion of government spending.

When Mao became seriously ill, the editorial said, the four radicals made their move to seize power, becoming more "frenzied" in their activities after he died. It said they forged Mao's directives and established "their own system inside the party" and "committed heinous crimes" against the party and the people, including maintaining "illicit foreign relationships." It said there would be no change in China's foreign policy.

By James Keeran Mrs. Wilbur Henry was digging some volunteer trees out of her backyard about a week ago when she dug up a rather interesting piece of marcasite in a vein of schist. She thought it was petrified wood. But Dr. James Kirchner, an assistant professor of geology at Illinois State University, who knows about such matters, said it couldn't be petrified wood.

It would have to have been buried too long, too deep. No, he said, the two-pound mineral formation Mrs. Henry pulled from her backyard at 1207 S. Mason is definitely marcasite. "It sure looks to me like it's petrified," Mrs.

Henry said. "It's got the grain of the wood. "Whatever it is, it's interesting. It's tonight Robert W. Apple chief national political correspondent for the New York Times, will speak at 8 tonight at Illinois Wesleyan University's Buck Memorial Library.

Before an audience that was comprised (surprisingly) of many more high school and college students than "we older folks," Herman and his musicians (about 15 of them) had the place hopping with such old favorites as "Caldonia" and "Woodchoppers' Ball" and the nostalgic "Laura," in which the 63-year-old Herman proved that he still has a pleasing singing voice. Herman, as you may remember, was one of the first bandleaders to use elements of bebop, a jazz movement of the 1940s. His arrangement of "Caldonia" is an example.

His first band, formed in 1936, was called "The Band That Plays the Blues." A few years later it became known as "Woody Herman and the Thundering Herd." It's an apt name for the band.

But the editorial in the People's Daily indicated that no widespread purge or bloodbath should be expected.

It said it was necessary to "narrow the target of attack" and concentrate on re-education rather than violent suppression of radical followers of Madame Mao and her three cohorts. The editorial, jointly published by the People's Daily, the armed forces newspaper and the party's theoretical journal, also charted a pragmatic course for national development along the lines laid down by the late Premier Chou En-lai. The editorial was published in connection with a million-strong mass rally in Peking Sunday during which Hua Kuo- Two persons were injured in a three-car, chain-reaction collision on fog-shrouded U.S. 51 Saturday night about a mile south of Hudson.
