jlfG. 10, - PLAINDEALER-WED., MAY 8, 1968 Sftate's Tax Premium Taxpayers of Illinois paid a 63 cent "premium", the second highest in the nation, in taxes for each $1 they received in federal grants-in-aid last year. [ The $1.63 Illinois paid in taxes for each $1 received in aid vws 5 cents more than was paid in 1966, when the ratio was $1.58 paid in taxes for each aid dollar obtained from Uncle Sam. • Application of a formula to the $15 billion in total federal grants-in-aid for 1967 shows Illinois paying $948 million in taxes for aid programs and getting back $581 million. In fiscal 19660 the state paid $793 million and received $502 million in grants. These estimates cover only federal grants to state and lqical government and not direct federal spending for goods and services in the state. New Jersey, paying $1.70 in taxes for each$1 received in aid last year, led the eighteen states which paid more than they received. Alaska, paying 21 cents for each $1 of federal grants, was lowest among the thirty-one states that paid less than $1 for $1 in aid. Missouri broke even, paying $1 taxes for $1 in aid. The formula reflects the actual tax burden on taxpayers rather than federal taxes collected in the state. For example, federal cigarette taxes, collected mainly in a few tobacco-producing states are, by the formula, allocated among all the states on the basis of cigarette consumption by state. These estimates do not include the cost of administering the grant programs, such as salaries, expenses, travel, etc. Federal administrative costs, according to a federal budget analysis, ranged recently from 0.2 percent for public assistance programs to 4 percent for public housing programs. The cost is also raised by "matching" funds the states must provide. In fiscal 1969, state "matching" funds will rise to about $99 billion, some $4 billion more than in fiscal 1966. Spending for federal grants-in-aids is expected to increase by nearly $2 billion over 1968 and reach $20 billion in fiscal 1969. This is more than three times the cost ten years ago. Qrder Out Of Chaos { A modern supermarket, even in a small city, may stock as many as 10,000 different items. A generation ago, a comparable large grocery store provided a selection of approximately 1000 items. . ' * 1 The modern housewife, with ten times as many products to choose from, needs for more information on which to base her shopping than her mother required. Not only is the modern shopper faced with a much greater variety of goods, she is also confronted with a continuous stream of new products. Without the guidance of competitive advertising, modern shopping would be a costly process of trial and error and guesswork. The value of products constantly flooding the market could not be weighted until after purchase. Manufacturers and distributors long ago learned that the consumer is likely to make a wise and rational decision when she pre-shops through advertising. The shopper seems to have an Instinct for spotting phony claims. Regardless of the advertising etffbrt, only one out of twenty new products are accepted by the public. Because of the consumer's ability to pre-shop through advertising, both the seller and the public saves. The seller is saved from great loss of over-stocking goods which are not acceptable to the public. By Intelligent reading and comparison, the consumer is spared the cost of trying the completely unfamiliar. ]'/' ' In fact, it could be said that a major contribution of advertising is'to bring order-to what could be confusion and chaos in today's market. h' WHEN THE COVERED WAGONS WENT WEST THE HOG WENT WITH THEM.

At the present pace about 5,000 different course information requests and more than 100 schools, universities and colleges a year are involved in rendering this service to Plaindealer readers. Readers, are advised on the do's and don't's on the furthering of education and training for all members of the family by the National Education Coordinating committee. "Let us start with high school. We believe all young men and women under 19 are better off attending and graduating from their local, neighborhood high school," a spokesman said. In the old days a high school diploma was a must. Today, a diploma from an accredited college or a university is a must. "The high school drop-out is and has always been a serious problem," he said. Most accredited high school correspondence institutions are the fastest way. to4get a high school diploma. None of them will touch a boy or girl under 17, and two semesters out of their high school. These schools recommend they go back. Then there is the individual who dropped out many, many years before. . .in an age bracket now ranging 25 to 60 years of age. The realization that their opportunity to be in the high income bracket depends upon learning more through intensive studies in college and universities, resident or home study. They have to have a high school diploma, he pointed out. "The most rapid means of getting a high school diploma is through home study so that students may study at the firm's expense after working hours. Employees who are high school drop-out's can have their education paid for by a GI bill if honorably discharged," theNECC spokesman said. "The do's are to get high school completed now. The don't's are not to delay another day for missing high-paying jobs that continuing education can bring after the high school diploma,"he said. Do fill out the coupon completely in the course listings published each week in the Plaindealer. Any coupon not completely filled out will not be serviced by NECC. Don't check more than three courses per person. Don't let your high school dean or guidance counselor talk you into sending for all kinds of brochures until you are about to start your last semester of your senior year.

Another consideration or don't is seek information on a resident college or university when you know you or your parents do not have $7,000 or more to pay your room and board, fees and tuition. Education bank loans are available. Do, if you can't afford the aforementioned, plan to work regularly and attend vocational schools at night or tome correspondence universities with study in the comfort of your home at tuition fees your paychecks will cover even on extended payment plans. One of the biggest jobs in the country is head of General Motors. When James M. Roche was promoted from president of General Motors at a salary of $700,000 per year to chairman of the board the newspaper announcement mentioned his en- - tire university education was business management and law courses at a home study or correspondence university. "The same determination,ambition, skills, eagerness for learning must be manifest " whether you study at a resident university or a correspondence university. Either you are qualified and prepared for success by knowing how and what to study . or you can be a college graduate dud no matter where yott;l pursue your studies," the NECC|ls . spokesman said. . _ "Don't consider, thejrep; sentative of an accre school a salesman. He qualifies you or rejects you because he can't help you unless you want to help yourself. Are you willing to sacrifice time, money and hard study to achieve your business goals? "Don't send in for just the sake of sending in. Have a purpose in mind for study. "Do show aptitudes, ambitions, willingness to study and a good high school background. "Fill out the coupon completely so that the Education Bureau can help if you are sincere about helping your self by qualifying for the most important step in your life all the way from 17 years of age to 60 years," he concluded.

The list includes 342 students from Michigan, 206 from other states and three foreign students. Among them is Howard A. Brody, 6809 Bully Valley road, McHenry, junior History major. MUSICALLY - ITS SPRING As the fury of final rehearsals sets in the finishing touches are put to the stage decor, the Hough Vocalaires once again invite everyone to "Spring '68" - Friday, Saturday and; Sunday evenings, May 10, 11 and 12 at Mundelein high school. Curtain time each evening Is 8 p.m*. Caroline is to be commended for her typically feminine gentleness. But the cloistered idealism of theological seminaries doesn't always work when cultured people face barbarians and 2-legged tigers or rats. Remember Jesus was half hawk when he saw the Temple being violated! His "dove" advice pertained to personal insults; not to destruction of basic freedoms! By - George W. Crane, Ph» D., M.D. CASE F-569: Caroline B., aged 27, is a clergyman's wife. "Dr. Crane," she challenged, "don't you think all wars are wrong?" "And isn't modern warfare far more cruel and inhumane than ever before in all history?" WAR DE-HUMANIZES There is an old adage which says that war always leaves three armies in its wake - an army of cripples, an army of mourners and an army of thieves! It is obvious that war is wrong! But so are the 50,000 deaths on our American highways every year! Plus over 1,000,000 injuries in those auto collisions. Alas, they are going to continue with but slight abatement! If the Golden Rule were practiced by both sides, then we could avoid war. But the Golden Rule doesn't influence tigers and bears and lions, and snakes or rats of both the four-legged and twolegged variety. What will happen to a peaceful sheep which tries to sit down at a conference table with a jungle lion, plus a tiger and a boa constrictor? That's similar to our United Nations where a big majority of the members are so barbaric they don't even offer habeas corpus and other basic rights to their own citizens back home! Uncle Sam is the gentle sheep (being fleeced annually), but the other "jungle members" don't dare use him for mutton stew. Why? Because he has the bomb and they don't! Oddly enough, more people will be alive and healthy in the generation following a world war, than would have been so if the war had not intervened! That's a freakish paradox, isn't it? But true! For under the pressure of war, new drugs and new machines and new surgical techniques develop which, despite the loss of millions on the battlefronts, still save ten times that many lives later on. For example, DDT was evolved in World War IL It reduced the mosquito and fly populations so drastically that already far more people have been saved from death via DDT than died in the war! This is not a sales point to encourage war, mind you, but a strange scientific twist to war's usual aftermath. One thing has been made clear by our recent wars, namely, that the brilliant military generals and admirals sjwuld be allowed to handle the conduct of the conflict, once our bungling citizens get us embroiled in world carnage. When the president made his civilian decision to go into the hospital for gall bladder surgery, he then let trained surgeons do the operating. He didn't try to steer the scalpels! Likewise, when he or his civilian Cabinet members blunder us into war, they should then let the military 'surgeons" as it were, do the operating! But if you think modern wars are horrible, imagine the chained galley slaves in ancient Roman and Greek ships, when the enemy tossed buckets of poison snakes into the hold! How would you readers have felt, while chained to^our bench with your galley on fire and hissing vipers crawling over your bare feet?

COURT BRIEFS Appearing before Magistrate William J. Gleason in Branch IQ court, Allen C. Jones was found quilty of speeding and fined $21 and $5 costs.

For illegal possession of alcoholic beverage, David Alan Donohue's case was continued until June 12. People of Ireland average eating 403 pounds of potatoes each year, U.S. average, 104 pounds.

Gait Airport Flying Service 5112 Greenwood Road Ringwood, Illinois The recent experience of this member of Congress, while attending the spring meeting of the Interparliamentary Union in Senegal, revealed the tragedy facing most of the continent of Africa. Senegal is proclaimed as one of the more promising of the so-called "developing" nations (the stigma of the description "underdeveloped" was politely dropped a few years ago). Yet, Senegal, which was self-sufficient formerly - insofar as concerned its agricultural production - must now import food in order to survive. Other African nations are obliged to do likewise. Modern hygiene which has helped to extend life expectancy - and the continuing practice of polygamy (that is, multiple wives per man) - have combined to increase the population of African nations. But there has been little increase in economic productivity. Educational progress has been disappointing and utilization of modern tools and techniques has for the most part been rejected by the native agrarian worker. Still, a trend toward urbanization has developed - with most of the migrant population moving from their rural houses of grass and straw - to miserable hovels fabricated from cardboard and sheet metal - in overcrowded cities. A pertinent observation - and one that has been made before by more knowledgeable authorities is this: "Perhaps the developing nations are not going to BTeBuinr Pklndeel* Bdf Hon BIPMQ, Dept. 011 ttU W.

MILK PRICES Central Milk Producers Cooperative, recently incorporated to strengthen the collective marketing and bargaining position of dairy farmers who supply milk for the Chicago area, has announced two separate increases of 15 cents per hundredweight in the Class I (bottling) milk price to be paid Chicago market producers. The first increase will become effective May 1 and second on July 1. The May 1 15-cent increase will bring the Chicago producers' Class I price up to $5.55 per hundredweight. The July 1 increase of 15 cents will result in a producer Class I price of $5.70 per hundredweight. Both prices are for milk of 3.5 percent butterfat content. The two increases total 30 cents over the present producer C lass I price of $5.40 per hundredweight which has been in effect on the Chicago market since September 1967.
