PG. 10, - PLAINDEALER- WED., JUNE 26, 1968 .Bicycle Regulations Many parents are unaware of the state regulations concerning bicycle equipment. : The Illinois Uniform Act Regulating Traffic on Highways contains the following ruling, which •'became effective in July, 1£67: "During the period from sunset to sunrise, or at any other time when visibility is so limited as to require the use of lights fbr safety, every bicycle, if it is in use, must be equipped with a temp MI the front which is emitting a white light visible from a distance of at least 500 feet to the front, and with an approved type of red reflector on, the rear. A lamp which emits a red light visible for at least 500 feet to the rear may be used in lieu Qf a red reflector. * Every bicycle must be equipped with a brake which will enable the operator to skid the wheel on dry, level, clean pavement. ; No bicycle may be operated unless it is equipped with a bell or other device capable of giving a signal which is audible for a distance of at least 100 feet. Sirens or whistles are prohibited for use on bicycles. : The parents or guardian of any child are forbidden to Authorize or knowingly permit such child to violate these bicycle equipment provisions." Sales Pattern Trend Appliance manufacturers report a 15 per cent iniccirtaSttssee in the sale of black and white television sets during the current year. During the same period sales of color sets rose about 12 per cent. The sales pattern is not as strange as it seems. The same trend often occurs when a new product is introduced. When black and white television was developed, radio sales-mounted. Standard automobile sales increased after the introduction of compact cars. Retailers, then, should not assume that a new product will replace a similar old product. The old product may become more useful than ever for specialized purposes asthe result of changes. After the advent of television, the radio became an item of individual possession. At the present time the concept of family television set is associated with color television. Black and white sets are selling faster because they have become units i>f individual and specialized usage. \ Automobile dealers now recognize that the small car never Jbecame a substitute for the large family car. The small auto- Jmobile took on specialized functions which is resulting in two ;and three car families. I The alert retailer recognizes that a change may create opportunities, to promote old products for new purposes. It is ithe function of his advertising to help the consumer find better ways to use the old as well as the new. INSPECTION . . .

Psychologists, law enforcement officers and clergymen have testified as to the detrimental effect of the deluge of crime, violence and sadism on our screens. In addition, serious charges can be made against portrayals depicting various nationalities as lacking intelligence/ Nations such as Poland and Germany, among others, by the behaviour of Polish and German characters, have been depicted inaccurately. In dealing with history, including American history, manyprograms are highly inaccurate, even colored. The nation has reason for concern over the moral quality andhistorical accuracy in UJS. television outfit.

The influence one man wrought on the lives of the blind is mirrored in a new film now available for group showings. The film, "Bridge to Somewhere," was premiered June 8 at the Illinois Braille and Sight Saving school, Jacksonville, .at a special recognition program honoring Frank Haven Hall. Hall, former superintendent of the school, devised the braille writer and the stereotyper. These instruments are used by blind persons and resulted in braille becoming the universally written language of the blind.

The National Education Coordinating committee (NECC) has culled four, out of ths many monitored, commencement addresses for release to this newspaper's Education bureau a member of NECC. \ Dr. Milton Eisenhower^ chairman of the newly appointed Presidsntial commission to investigate violence in the United States, spoke at Kent State university's spring commencement and warned the audience against "licentiousness and persistent violence that could lead to anarchy, and ultimately to dictatorship. "Apathy is being replaced by mass protest which senselessly defies laws and rules and contemptuously destroys values essential to a civilized, orderly society," Dr. Eisenhower said. "It is but a short step from, licentiousness and persistent violence to anarchy and the probable, almost inevitable cure for anarchy is dictatorship -- of the right or left." Beloit college president, Dr. Miller Upton, told Loyola's 1,492 graduates, their parents, and friends that "Rebellion on the nation's campuses has its roots in the bigotry it is supposedly attempting to erase. Student 'activists will never be able to combat the hypocrisy of the day, for their own hypocrisy interferes." LINE OF DEFENSE "The activists argue by their deeds, if not their words, that their moral end justifies their means, "Dr. Upton went on. "And, of course, this is the last line of defense of every dictator or bigot...and any such individual who is prepared to resort to any means to achieve what he believes in is a bigot in the ultimate and classical sense of the word..regardless of what it is that he believes in." "Student rebels are hypocrites because they are not willing to pay the price of their activism,' "Dr. Upton said. "If the police move in to break up an illegal demonstration they shout 'foul' or'policebrutality*. If draft card burners get drafted or sent to jail, they resent it. Black power advocates become hostile if anti-segregation attitudes and laws are used against them. Dissenting priests and ministers act pained wh@n their congregations turn against them." "True intellectuals must be judged not by what they believe but the way they believe it, "he said. "A liberal with a closed mind is just as biased and as much to be feared as a conservative with a closed mind. And a conservative with an open mind is every bit the intellectual as a liberal with an open mind." John Kenneth Gaioraith, noted political-economic commentator, was cited as an example of a liberal with a closed mind. "The arrogance of a John Kenneth Galbraith, for example, is no less based on prejudice and no less anti-intellectual and no less a product of his own mental ghetto simply because it is displayed by a person who operates under the banner of an intellectual liberal," Dr. Upton said.

GENERATION CHANGES "I worried about your generation a few years ago when many students seemed to be loners," Cowles remarked. "They seemed withdrawn and apathetic about our nation's and the world's problems. They would not, oi* could not, enjoy the exhilaration of creation and participation." "Happily the apathetic generation is no longer with us. Perhaps the only dividend we have received from Viet Nam is the inspiring fact that vast numbers of students have now become indignantly involved in trying to bring the war to an end and to modifying America's foreign policy. The 330 students who received degrees were told by Cowles "He hoped they have learned from Viet Nam that America's greatness lies not in war, but in peace. We can be useful to the world without trying to be its policeman or to make its rules." "The vital question facing the generation graduating from college is whether the individual and science can co-exist," he said. " The solution to this and other perplexing problems would be theirs, and that many of the decisions are those which I don't want to be around to make." Illinois college at Jacksonville, 111., had John E. Swearingen, chairman of Standard Oil company (Indiana) as their commencement speaker and he assailed what he called the "gigantic federal lunch counter at which there is something for everybody." "The range of federal largesse has become so grand that there is hardly a person in the land who does not benefit from it in some way," he said. "And this increasingly conceals the fact that somebody has to pay for the lunch." FREE RIDE "A truly free ride through life is a fiction; somebody pays for the ride, even in an affluent society. We need to remember that no society can dispose of more than it creates -- and this is as true in a modern industrial nation is it is with a band of Maori tribesmen."

The riddle is further compounded when it turra out that some of the demands ore quite unrelated to either ths purposes or capacities of our colleges and universities. In any event, the very legitimacy of the demands is badly tainted by their advocacy through admittedly illegal means in a democratic society." "While most laws are admittedly imperfect, the imperfections displayed by individuals happen to be juvenile anarchists or adult assassins." "I think this point has been adequately demonstrated in a series of tragic events over the last few years." CONFIDENCE IN YOUTH "I have confidence in the new generation," Swearingen said. "The evidence indicatesthatthe younger people are in the main idealistic, oriented to change, and determined to do things better than they have been done up to now." "No intelligent generation as concerned about individual freedom and self expression as yours is apt to permit itself to be used as a revolutionary instrument to destroy the rights and freedoms of others," he told his audience. "I am confident that you will accept the responsibility that inevitably goes along with freedom, and will work constructively to rebuild what is shabby in our society without considering it first necessary to tear down the whole edifice and start over again." "There is no room in the concept of passing the torch for its use as a tool of arson, and there is surely more promise in the philosophy of Jefferson and Lincoln than in that of Bonnie and Clyde."
