PUBLIC PULSE (The Plaindealer invites the public to use this col­ umn as an expression of their views on subjects of general interest in ouV community.

CIVIL RIGHTS "Dear Editor, "What recourse does an individual have when he sees or experiences a flagrant and unlawful disregard of a per­ son's civil rights by means of discrimination in our town? Perhaps he can write a letter to the editor and have it published. "The case in point occurred this morning when I sent my 10- year-old son up to Bolger's Drug store to purchase a package of cigarettes and some throat lozenges. I sent a note along with him requesting he be permitted to purchase the cigarettes. It included the date, the quantity, the brand and my name and phone number. I know this is not necessary at most of the stores in McHenry, including Bolger's, but I do it everytime to show my children that I respect the law and that I expect them to do so also. However, my son returned 20 minutes later saying he was not allowed to enter the store. I asked if he didn't show them the note and he said he held it up and was waved off. "I immediately called the store and was told they were very sorry but it had to be done this way because they were experiencing so much shoplifting from the high school kids. I was informed that if I sent him back he would be allowed to make the purchases. "My concern is not in these purchases but in the abuse our children take because of their age. It is true that many people today have a very low regard for the law -- not just adolescents but adults as well. I am sure that I am not the only person in McHenry to have seen children 12, 13 or 14 years old purchase cigarettes. I am sure that I am not the only person in McHenry to have purchased medicines over the counter that were clearly marked not to be sold without a prescription. I am also sur£ that anyone who wants to can go over to Bolger's drug store and see discrimination being practiced to the extent that anyone under a certain age is not allowed to enter the store in the morning. "I was told by the person who answered the phone at Bolger's that there was nothing else they could do and that other Green street merchants have to do the same thing. There are other things that can be done. First of all, if they want to uphold the sanctions of our civil rights laws and still keep children out of their stores, they can remain closed until after school is in session. They also can report and prosecute all shoplifters. I am sure that even children can understand that having a police record keeps them from many of the things they hope to enjoy in later life -- like admittance to the college of their choice, bank loans for a new car or house and many jobs that require a clean record or bonding.

Any tovn that is so unappealing tfoat evpn bums won't go there, is not for me, sir." Well come on, Mike, w:'h upstanding citizens iike we have who needs bums?" "Lorelte Rogers" A SAFETY PROBLEM "Dear Sir, "I am a concerned mother and homeowner of Lakeland Park subdivision, McHenry, 111. My particular concern is with the current problem of hunters, guns, boats, decoys and all of the ritual surrounding duck hunting on McCullom Lake. I do ^not pretend to be an authority on hunting nor on hunting regulations in Illinois but I do know that our lake is less than one mile wide at any point and the land surrounding the lake is residentially zoned. We have many children and pets who play . in the area surrounding the lake especially in the homes closest to the lake. Both of the parks in Lakeland Park border on the lakefront. "Presently there are six duck blinds on the lake. There are numerous hunters using these blinds. There are also 'hunters' who have been shooting ducks from their boats and these ducks are not always in flight. Therefore, shots are low and aimed at the shoreline. Many hunters are shooting very close to shore. These hunters seem too close for safety of persons and property on shore. "It seems to me and others in the subdivision that the size of the lake, the residential zoning around the lake and the dangers involved with guns generally when used im­ properly, are all enough to warrant action by someone locally or at the county or state level. Hunting should be made illegal or at least limited in someway to make McCullom Lake safe again for persons living, playing and working around the lake. Someone must insure safety in our com­ munity. "I personally live on the lake and feel that my son and our dog are in danger in our own yard. -- to say nothing of the property that is also en­ dangered. My family feels harassed by hunters who we can do nothing about ourselves. I hope this letter will encourage others to vocalize their feeling about hunting on McCullom Lake. "I don't feel that all hunting or guns should be banned everywhere. I only feel this situation warrants special concern because of the unusual circumstances surrounding it. Public safety should be our first concern. "Sincerely, "Mary Beth Blum" County Man Returned To NIPC Office Fred M.

A DATE WITH MARS WASHINGTON -- If all Koes well, on Nov. 13, Mari­ ner 9 will begin at least three months of close scrutiny of the planet Mars, its terrain, its climate, its atmosphere, and even its two tiny moons. Spacecraft engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab­ oratory say that this plane­ tary mission c'ould send back 15 times as much data for scientific study as the two Martian flybys, Mariners 6 and 7, yielded in 1969. This year's mission is ex­ pected to produce more than 5,000 television pictures -- with hundreds of telescopic shots having football-field resolution of 91.44 meters (100 yards) or less of Mar­ tian surface. The 1969 mis­ sion produced 205 pictures. The Mariner 4 flight in 1965 produced 22 pictures.

In its twice-a- day elliptical orbit, Mariner 9 will swing out to about 17,000 kilometers (10,500 miles) from the planet. In addition to two TV cameras, with wide and nar­ row angle lenses, Mariner 9 will carry an infrared radiom­ eter, infrared spectrometer, and ultraviolet spectrometer. With these instruments, sci­ entists hope tp map more than 70 per cent of Mars and determine temperature, ter­ rain, and atmospheric con­ ditions in each area pictured. "The instrument complex will study certain phenomena that have aroused curiosity through observations from Earth and previous Mariner missions. These include clouds, hazes, bright spots and dust storms. A specific objective of the study is the apparent "wave of darkening" which season­ ally sweeps across Mars. The spacecraft will'arrive at the peak of this seasonal dark­ ening period in the southern hemisphere.

Grandfather kept bees, and al­ ways had the best honey on the table, both strained and in the comb. It was so exciting to see him take the honey without get t ing a sting Every summer, Grandfather 32 v3 LAFF OF THtWEEK would kill rattlesnakes. He'd skin them and save the rattlers We were always fascinated to see' them, and to hear the story of where and how he killed them During the summer, he would make up a batch of dough bait . He would then travel the six miles to the ; Missouri River in a buggy with "old Pat". There, he would set out his fishing lines In a few days he„ would go back and bring in his catch The biggest fish I remember seeing weighed 24 pounds. Last, but not least, I remember Grandfather cutting his own hair He would sit on an old stump in the front yard, and with a house­ hold scissors, cut his white, stub by hair very short and even. This is the way I remember my "Grandpa Smith". • t» 'Send contributions to thi* column, to The Old Timer, Box 639, Frankfort Ken tucky 40601.) 'You'd never guess what Fred got me for our anniversary!
