Page Fourteen THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday# December 21, 1961 PUBLIC PULSE (The Plalndealer invites the public to use this column as an expression of their views on subjects of general interest in our community. Our only request is that writers limit themselves to 300 words or less and that all letters have signature, full address and phone number. We ask, too, that one individual not write on the same subject more than once each month. We reserve the right to delete any material which we consider libelous or in objectionable taste.) THOSE ICY ROADS "Gentlemen: "1 am a resident of McHenr? county, and I have a grievance. "I work in Elgin, and must travel on Route 31 every day. It is apparent where McHenry county ends and Kane county begins, because it is the same place where the ice ends, and the diy paVement begins! "Pleap inform this citizen, just why they can clear the roads in Kane county and not in McHenry? With taxes the way they are today, you would V think a few pounds of salt \qu1<1 be afforded by the couniy, "John Keippel "708 W. Oeffling Drive "McHenry, 111." AN INFORMED PUBLIC) "Dear Sir; "J. Edgar Hoover has repeatedly told the American public that they must become informed on the communist conspiracy within the United States, and within our institutions. The bi-partisan House Un-American Activities committee, and the bi-partisan Senate subcommittee on Internal Security have also repeated this warning. To the last man, they agree that we must become knowledgeable anti-communists. "Acting on this warning, a large segment of the American public is now alerted, and have studied communist infiltration, and now for the first time, understand local, national and international affairs. The international Communist conspiracy is aware of this movement. It is damaging to the conspiracy, and is costing them money and time, and worse, is damaging their alliance with pro-communist nonmember dupes. Here is the evidence of this statement: The Communist Manifesto of 1960 has declared that the American anti - comm u n i s t movement must be neutralized, discredited, and forever silenced. There is evidence that this order of the manifesto is now being carried out. "For the most part, the anticommunist movement is a 'living room, family affair' operation. In this form, it is completely frustrating to the international conspiracy, and the internal conspiracy. There are a number of national anticommunist organizations. The heads of these organizations, like Caesar's wife, must walk a sharp and narrow line, and 1heir reputations are unimpeachable. Yet. this is the only target 1hat communists have to shoot at. The conspiracy avoids direct slander and libel, and can only use innuendo, and ! "guilt by association" tech- I niques. Trotsky's technique of ' "divide and conquer" implements the operation. Very honest, loyal American citizens I have inadvertently fallen for the smear, and without realizing it, have quoted it. For example. I should like to cite a typical case:' "The 'People's World,' an organ- of the Communist party in San Francisco, originated an attack on an anti-communist organization, the John Birch society. This attack was picked up, word for word, line for line, but without quotation i marks, or without mentioning the source, by newspapers: throughout the country. In | many cases, the article ap- j peared under the by-line ot well known newspajier writers, j thereby giving the impression I that this was their own private i scoop. Honest, loyal Americans picked up this" attack and discussed it with iheir friends,; not knowing that they were in- j directly implementing the line i of the 'People's World.' This I example illustrates well that the rank and file, 'living room' anti-communists walk a narrow line, also like Caesar's wife. For the anti-communist it is an easier task than it is for the uninformed. Therefore, anti - cofrimunisis with the knowledge of the source and propagation of the attack on the Birch society can only ex1- pose the source, but cannot accuse a loyal citizen of disloyalty for propagating it. The average, loyal American is subjected to an intensive, broad barrage of misinformation, propaganda and 'hush-hush.' It is difficult to filter truth from fiction and fancy, and the deliberate lie. Herein, then, is the motivation of the anticommunist: to evaluate by the rules of evidence, and arrive at his (the anti-communist) Death Mourned MOOSE LODGE ROBERT W.

"This evaluation requires a certain amount of reading. One book a month is a gocxl average. Don't be afraid of being contaminated by reading the wrong thing.

S. cities^ Women of the Moose One of the days that' any senior regent looks forward to is the convocation of the Women of the Moose and this day occurs on the last Sunday of October. After completing her year as senior regent, Marporie Fernstrom, # now junior graduate regent, was honoren by receiving her green cap. An added honor for Marge, and one very few members have, was to be capped by a College of Regents member, who is her mother. Last month our chapter' was invited to Antioch to help honor their gi-een cap girl, Gertrude Good. Marge was invited to sit in as guest of their chaplain, Jan Rode. Going along on this evening were the following members, Ethel Hagberg, Mabel Thomas, Ethel Bruce and Lillian Cox. Another day that will long be remembered by Marge was the evening that the chapter honored her by inviting the following chapters to attend: Fox Lake, Antioch, Woodstock and Crystal Lake. Imogene Ruckslhul, former deputy grand regent, gave a very interesting talk to the green cap girls. On Dec. 5, missing a regular meeting here in McHenry. Marge travelled from here to Woodstock and with seven girls from there went on to Rockford for the Green Cap night in honor of Kay Stronger. Marge was honored to fill the chair of the junior regent, for the exrfnkig. She was the guest of iNioma Rubi of Rockford. Marie Stinger, former member of the Grand Council, and InWgene Rucksthul, former deputy grand regent, were guest speakers for the evening. Present were members from Crystal Lake, Woodstock, Sterling, Antioch, Mt. Morris, Harvard, Dixon, McHenry, Rockford, and Loyal Order of the Moose. Attending the Harvard Green Cap night in honor of Evelyn ' Young were seven members of the McHenry chapter. They were Ila Hogan, Alyce Kowal, Ethel Hagerg. Mabel Thomas, Lona Brever, Ethel Bruce and Marge Fernstrom. Marge filled the chair of treasurer and ijuest of Bernita Horter for the evening. The date of this fun filled evening was Dec. 7. If you could only read between the lines you would see the good times and lots of fun enjoyed at these affairs. Dec. 12 was enrollment for the Loyal Order of the Moose, honoring their fellowship decree. The Women of the Moose and wives of the Loyal OrjtJer of the Moose were asked to attend the party following this enrollment.

GIVE TIPS OW ROAD TRACTION To help drivers learn from experience without themselves causing a traffic blockade or having an accident, William H. Morris, superintendent of the Illinois State Police, outlined the following information about traction abilities on slippery streets and roads. 1-- Snow tires provide up to 51 per cent better traction than regular tiroes on loosely packed snow, and up to 28 per cent improvement on ice. With careful driving, and under conditions which are not generally severe, or where gradies are not steep, this added traction is of some aid. Snow tires do not, however, replace wheel chains during deep snow conditions. 2-- Reinforced wheel chains provide 313 per cent better traction than regular tires on snow, and 409 per cent more Henkel, pastor of St. Therese church, gave the sermon, Mrs. Nilges died last Thursday, Dec. 14. Fr. Nilges is now assistant pastor of Holy Angels parish in Aurora. traction on ice. For deep snot', hard packed snow or glare ,Jqe, „ particularly where there ore-- hills, this greater pulling power of tire chains is quite sig-, nificant. 3-- Stopping ability is an ,e*-, tremely important factor in ac- • cident prevention. On dry pavement, a car equipped with regular tires and travelling 20 miles an hour, can be stoppjjfi" in 21 feet. On loosely packetl snow it takes 60 feet, on glare i c e 2 0 0 f e e t . S n o w t i r e s w i l l reduce stopping distance to 52 feet on snow and 174 feet on glare ice. Reinforced chains cut the distance to 38 feet on snow and 77 feet on ice.
