PG. 2, SEC. 2 - PLAINDEALER - AUG, 24, 1967 M Half-Heard" Stimulant «We no lnngwr fear TV, but welcome it. We have learned that the story only half-told or half-heard will have the greatest readers h i p i n o u r n e w s p a p e r . . " S k This statement from an executive of a major newSJjaper chain Tefleets the general view of newspaper publishers toward other Communication media. It has been the experience of even the smallest newspapers toeing competition from radio or television to find both circulation and advertising increasing after the establishment of a broadcast medium. The "half-heard" or half-remembered information from passing sound or scene stimulates a larger public to go to the printed word for verification and more detail. The average person can read four times a# fast as a broadcaster presents news or advertising. Sut more important, the reader may select or reject printed matter. The printed advertisement, in which the story is told completely, may be reviewed, carefully compared to other advertisements, and carried to a store for confirmation. Of course, there is the unlikely possibility that the shopper may use a recorder, but even then she would have to make notes from the recording before she could be certain of her information. And she could carry a record player on her shopping tour to remind a merchant of his broadcast claims. Since no such ridiculous behavior is likely to become widespread, the local newspaper will remain the basic retail advertising medium. And other media will remain pro-stimulants which lead to further use of the newspaper. - m What One Man Started Forty years is but the wink of an eye, as time is measured. Vet, in the space of that cosmic wink, there have been some remarkable happenings. Perhaps nothing can delineate the then and now more poignantly than the recent fortieth anniversary of Lindbergh's New York-to-Paris flight. The flight itself was -a masterly achievement by an individual, but in the perspective of history, it has become far more than that. In the space ,pf thirty-three hours, he led the way through the portals of 'JUme to a new era of air transportation. V To Lindbergh, and other pioneers who helped usher in the new era, there has undoubtedly been both disappointment and encouraginent. They have seen the airplane used as a weapon of destruction as well as a tool of peace. -, The annual report of one of the pioneers in the air transport Jndustry, a major U.S. international air carrier, deals with the usual financial affairs. But beyond this, it dramatically reveals the progress of international air transport as a means of making the world a better place in which to live. The development of this QJi2 airline that was founded forty years ago, when -Overseas air travel could be measured in Lindbergh9 s one flight, has proven that the visions of the pioneers were well founded. Low-cost air travel is becoming a potent tool for the developjbent of international understanding and goodwill. The international air transport industry, at home and abroad that was 'horn forty years ago, now employs 750,000 persons, and its gross revenues exceed $10 billion a year, (tee company's jets alone span the world every day and carried more than 7 million passengers in 1966. If one airline can do this, is it too much to hope that the era opened by Lindbergh's flight may yet end in international amity?

Voa must slow down and turn off the expressway STATE SECRETARY CLARIFIES LICENSE PROBLEM HERE The following letter from Secretary of State Paul Powell helps to clarify a letter which appeared recently in the Plaindealer* s Public Pulpe column. Mr. Powell answered questions asked by Mrs. Elva Dunn: "Dear Madam: "Recently a letter has been brought to my attention which you had directed to the editor of the McHenry Plaindealer concerning efforts being made to require residents in your community to license motor vehicles, which, according to your letter, were not in use, and were apparently being stored on the premises of the owner. "In your letter you made a distinction between a vehicle in good repair, parked on a person's own property for good reason, and junked vehicles littering the premises. Your letter is correct that many communities have had a problem with the l&ter which undoubtedly constitutes an eyesore, and effects the general appearance of the community. I would agree further that there is a distinc - tion between that situation and a person having a vehicle in good repair stored on Ms premises for good reason. "The Motor Vehicle Law while requiring a motor vehicle which is operated on a highway, when termed contains within its definition, "Any way publicly maintained and open to vehicular traffic is required to be registered and display a valid license plate." I am not aware of any situation, however, in the Motor Vehicle Law which requires a vehicle which is stored, that is to say, which is not being used for operation on a highway to be licensed wice Told Tales or display valid registration wotni plates. "I am certain that no member of this office is attempting to enforce along the lines indicated in your letter.

Our rural friends are not so lucky. Rabies, a disease of the central nervous system, is on the increase in rural areas. Caused by a virus, the disease is transmitted to humans through the bite of a rabid animal. Since all warm blooded animals are susceptible, the former has the double worry of being bitten himself or of having his domestic farm animals bitten by a rabid animal. Wildlife animals -- particularly bats, skunks, foxes and raccoons -- are prime targets of rabies and should be avoided by man. Squirrels and domestic cats and dogs also can contract the disease. In man, the symptoms of rabies develop within 14 to 90 days after the bite except when the bite is on the face or head. Then, the symptoms may develop much sooner. Once the symptoms develop, death follows. Few men die of rabies but each year some 30,000 Americans receive expensive and sometimes painful anti-rabies treatments after being bitten by a suspected animal. Last year more than 3,600 cases of animal rabies1 Were reported in the United States. If you are bitten by an animal, even a domestic pet, immediately suspect rabies for at different stages of the disease the animal may act overly affectionate, aggressive, drowsy or strange. Prevention and control of rabies is possible with a few simple steps: 1. Teach your children to avoid wild animals, including squirrels, and to report any animal bite immediately -- even if the animal is the family dog. 2. Dont allow children toexplore unknown caves where bats may congregate. 3. Have all domestic pets vaccinated against rabies. Don't treat ill farm animals yourself call a veterinarian. ted at McHenry dam.
