*AGE 4, SECTION 2 - McHENRY PLAIN DEALER - MARCH 2} 1967 Hk Lake Region YMCA presents a unique opportunity for the betterment of the father-sons,relationships with its Indian Guide program. "Indian Guides is a club program organized to foster the companionship of fathers and sons. Sons who are in the first through third grades and their dads are eligible to participate in the activity. The success of the program is the ingredient of joint participation by both fathers and sons. Unlike many of today's planned club programs, there is no attempt in this club to gear children's activities to the adult ' world. This isn't the type of program attempting to make little men of boys in the eyes of dads. Instead, activities are arranged to set goals that boys can attain and that dads can share. The program aims to have sons and dads understand each other and enjoy activities that they can together experience. The father is always kept in his role as a man, not just his son's buddy. When the time comes for the close of father-son participation in Indian Guides, it is hoped a boy can say with his heart,A Dad like mine," and mean it. Achievement is recognized with the awards of feathers, which are won in the headbands of the big and little braves. Fathers and sons merit the colorful feathers by learning and earning together. Each father color denotes a different accomplishment for the pair, and the feathers are received at the time of ' completion of the project. Sons experience a sense of achivement, increasing mental and,, moral development, and the elimination of self-consciousness while they work as a team, each benefitting from their companionship and their combined knowledge. Four of the six towns the Lake Region YMCA serves have Indian Guide programs in operation. McHenry, with its Apache, Fox, and Sioux, has three tribes. In this era of meeting after meeting, many for worthy causes, it is necessary to make choices or "spread one's self too thin". Certainly in making a decision, father's would do well to consider the really important benefits of the Indian Guide program. 'A IIATBONM PROillMg?iS McCLORY REPORTS •. 'v. v. A PROGRAM OF VALUE ADVERTISING-AN ECONOMIC GEM Immediate results do not alfrays show how inexpensively the local newspaper carries an advertiser's message to a community. Readership research conducted by universities and privateagencies may give a better picture of the total value of newspaper advertising. Controlled studies show that more than 60 percent of all readers usually see a one-quarter page retail advertisement in a weekly or small daily newspaper. The studies show that each copy $£ a community paper is read by approximately four people. For each thousand papers circulated, 4,000people read something In each issue of the paper. Sixty percent, or 2,400 for each 1,000 circulation, could be expected to see a one-fourth page retail advertisement. It means that hometown newspapers deliver the large quarterpage newspaper message at a cost of less than one-half percent per actual reader. Tttis is less than the cost of addressing an envelope; it is less than one-fourth the cost of a blank postcard; it is less than the cost of operating a duplicating machine. It is two hundred times less expensive than a personal call; it is fless than the wages sometimes paid to kids for stuffing drcuM-s in sewers. iffis a cold economic fact which causes major retailers toot the country to settle an the local newspaper as "the basic retail advertising medium."

No matter where you want to go in NEW ORLEANS you are always close by Hi: SOTO 422 Baronne St. New Orleans, Louisiana Write today for r e s e r v a t i o n s , information or calendar of events 1 Views From Stqte Capitol Senator Karl Berning(R. 32nd district) has announced from Springfield that legislative activity is gaining momentum and it appears certain thatthis session of the Legislature will consider the greatest number of bills ever introduced in a single session. It becomes an increasingly difficult job for any legislator to familiarize himself with the bills he is caljed upon to support or reject. Senator Berning stated that one of the perennial problems is taxes which, of course, is the end result of the request for additional revenue from the various political sub-divisions and the state departments. Senator Berning said, "I would be interested to hear from my fellow citizens their feelings regarding the requested increase in state»sales tax from % to 2 cents over the existing 4 cents. The sales tax is something which everyone bears, share and share alike, if we think of it in terms of only dollars spent, but because of this very condition the persons with restricted low incomes bear an increasingly high proportion of sales tax versus expendable income. Another area of taxation for which there is an increasing pressure for considerable increase is the motor fuel tax. It is a generally accepted premise that highway users should provide the money for the building and maintenance of roads. This, of course, makes good sense. On the other hand, how much gasoline tax is the average motorist willing to contribute and how much of a hardship would an extensive increase in gasoline tax work on those persons who must drive their car thousands of miles per month while making a living?" Senator Berning has disclosed that a record bills are being intr< indicative of some of the requests for additional expenditures at the state level are two bills which, this day, werepassed by the Senate. One appropriates 850 thousand dollars for improvements in the Arlington Heights branch of Salt Creek. Another one is an emergency appropriation of 100 thousand d number of. roducecTand A spirited debate in the UJS. House of Representatives developed recently on the subject of the national debt. This vital issue upon which our entire economy depends is frequently regarded by the public as too mysterious and too complex to contemplate. Indeed, most members of Congress receive very little mail concerning the national debt. Of course, if the national debt ceiling is not raised by $5 or billion, the federal government simply cannot pay its bills, and the credit of the United States government will be impaired with all of the farreaching consequences thatthis would entrail. On the other hand, some opponents declare that until the Administration is turned down on such a request, federal spending will continue to mount. Questions of credibility as well as of economy have entered into the clebt ceiling debates, and these subjects should be understood fully by the American public--since it is the public's money which is involved. While the debt ceiling approved by the U. S. House of Representatives is $336 billion, this figure does not, in fact, represent the total obligations of the federal government, either direct or contingent. Recently, the federal government has engaged in the practice of selling so-called participation certificates. These evidences of indebtedness are at the same time an asset and a liability of the federal treasury. They consist of home mortgages, student loans and other types of obligations (held by the federal treasury) which the borrowers have agreed to repay, dollars to the Board of Higher Education. A third bill which has not been passed, but temporarily held has an appropriation of 800 thousand dollars for the Department of Public Safety. This is for the purpose of establishing half-way houses. These are but three of many bills being presented, all with plausable . explanations as to why they should be passed, which call for expenditures of sizeable sums of money. "My fellow citizens of the 32nd district, it is a high privilege serving you and I am not only deeply appreciative but still duly awed by the immensity of the good honor that has come to me. I wish it was possible to visit with more of you, the voters, in order to get your thoughts and feelings; in fact, I wish I could see that everyone was informed about all of the bills which we are considering in the Legislature. Of course, this is impossible. On the other hand, I would be most appreciative of comments, suggestions or criticisms from any who have time and inclination to write me," Senator Berning said.

Some of these participation certificates have been transferred to the; Social Security trust fund and to the funds of otfier agencies in exchange for cash- in order to improve the appearance of the federal economy. The participation certificates are regarded as "outside of the national debt" and do not come under the $336 billion debt limit. Republicans hold that direct obligations of this type, equally with government bonds and other obligations, should be included in the national debt-- and failure to adopt this practice deprives the American people of information about their government and its economy to which they are entitled. The federal debt is financed through so-called longterm and short-term obligations. Long-term federal bonds (5 years or more) are subject to a maximum interest rate of 4-54 per cent. Since the federal government itself cannot borrow at the present time at such a low interest rate, the necessary funds to finance the federal system are procured through short-term obligations-- which are not subject to the 454 per cent interest rate limitation. On this short-term borrowing, the federal treasury has paid in excess of 6 per cent during the past year. Indeed, the interest rates paid by the federal government during 1966 are reported to be the highest in forty years. Republican leaders have pointed out that if the long-term interest rate level were to be increased to, say, 4-3/4 percent, a great deal of the short-term borrowing could be financed on a long-term basis at tremendous savings to the American taxpayer. It is estimated that the existing interest rate ceiling cost the federal treasury more than $1.5 billion in 1966 alone. Democratic leaders have declined to adopt the practical step of increasing the long-term interest rate ceiling for the purely political reason that the rank and file Democratic members in the House do not favor such a change. They declare this would denominate them as the party of high interest. However, since interest rates actually paid by the treasury in 1966 were higher than at any time since 1927, it is difficult to appreciate the validity of this argument. Since the measure upon which the House, has acted will expire on June 30, the debates in the Congress are bound to continue for many mouths. Prior to June 30, the subject must come before the Congress again. Itisto be hoped that by that time there will be greater public and congressional understanding of the problems of the nation's economy and that there will be a willingness to recognize our total federal obligations. Provisions should be made also for the adequate funding of these obligations. It is the opinion of this member of Congress that by adopting such aposition, the Administration could secure near-unanimous support from the members of the House and Senate. by Paul Powell Secretary of State With the coming ot the winter weather it's a good time to start giving your car the cold weather attention it's going to need. It's better to do it now than to wait until cold weather dictates the move and your favorite repair shop or gasoline station is loaded with those who waited too long. At this time your service station man has considerable time to give you a thorough, proper job of installing antifreeze if your car uses it. When freezing weather descends, and his station is overflowing with customers, he probably will be able to do only a quick job of draining your engine's water and adding some anti-freeze. He will drain the radiator completely. A complete flushing with a detergent will remove the summer accumulation of rust and dirt. A thorough check of your engine's rubber hose will be made and any that have deteriorated will be removed and all clamps and joints will be tightened. He can check the pumps for leaks. After he flushes the detergent from the engine and radiator and if he doesn't find any leaks, then he will add the anti-freeze. , A copy of the "Rules of the Road" will be sent to yon free upon request.
