> N Comment On Sports FOOTBALL * • • By Pete Fritchie WAS*" NGTON ,D .C .-With­ out u doubt football is the most spectacular game for fans in stadiums or be­ fore television sets.Basket­ ball comes closest and tele­ vision can actually cover the smaller basketball court better. But football is more dra­ matic because of its vio­ lence and the impact of the physical contact, a brutal feature in the game which can 'mean serious injury to players. The team concept of foot­ ball, the advancing line, the general in charge (the quarterback), the coordina­ tion required, the split-sec­ ond timing and the danger, are close semblances to military operations. This concept is one of the rea­ sons the game is so excit­ ing. The advancing team is similar to an attacking line of infantry. The manner in which coaches, fully wired, in constant communication with the press box scouts, assistant coaches, etc., direct the campaign is rem­ iniscent of a military head­ quarters. The popularity of football m e a n w h i l e c o n t i n u e s t o grow; all-time record crowds watched college and pro teams in 1972. Crowds un­ questionably enjoy the vio­ lence of the battle. BASEBALL * * * By Pete Fritchie WASHINGTON, D.C.-Ro­ berto Clemente, dead now some weeks, might have b e e n t h e b e s t p l a y e r i n Major League baseball. He was at the last past his peak, but still a highly dan­ gerous hitter. While many are inclined to overpraise famous per­ sons in eulogies, probably the outpouring of tribute to Clemente was justified. He really was about the most feared clutch hitter in base­ ball. ^That was apparent in the 1971 World Series. Clemente hit the long ball off Balti­ more's best pitchers when the Pirates really needed hits. , Clemente was, of course, also an outstanding fielder. He was a team leader. But for years he had been frus­ trated, thinking he hadn't received enough uiognition. His failing may have also been his strength. He said openly he was baseball's best, not a modest attitude, or claim.

McHENRYTEACHERS - BOWLING LEAGUE Jan.24,1973 Total Team Stadings W-L pins Trends in Credit Buying At the end of 1970 consumers owed more than $126 billion in non-mortgage debt - an average of $615 per person. Installment debt accounted for about 80 percent of this totafl or $491 per person. Ten years earlier per person install­ ment debt was $236 - less than half the 1970 level. Debts for auto­ mobiles; other consumer goods, including purchases made with bank credit cards and revolving charge accounts; and personal loans each accounted for about one-third of the increase. Higher incomes and rising costs have contributed to the growth of consumer debt. Families had, on the average, 76 percent more in­ come to spend in 1970 than in 1960. At the same time the num­ ber of items families can spend this income on has increased. Also new materials, new conven­ ience features and required safe­ ty features may add to the cost of some items. The increased availability of credit and the greater acceptance of it as a way of buying consumer" goods has played an even more important part in the growth of consumer credit. * + • * Envy is the conclusive evidence of a little mind- arid you can give yourself a mental test SAFER DENTAL X- RAYS--A recent survey by HEW's Food and Drug Administration in­ dicates many dental pa­ tients get almost twice as much exposure as necessary to X-rays be­ cause dentists over-ex­ pose X-ray film in their patients' mouths so they can get the X-ray pic­ tures more rapidly. HEW recommends that patients and dentists agree to use X-rays as little as possible, and that -- when used -- exposure of X-ray film be no more than the time recommended by its manufacturer. W H O M E E X T I N ­ GUISHER RISK -- HEW's Food and Drug Administration warns homeowners that home fire extinguishers con­ taining carbon tetra­ chloride are unsafe to use on fires and also risky to keep in homes. Inhaling carbon tetra­ chloride vapors can cause permanent harm to the liver, kidneys, heart or lungs, and may cause death. HEW advises house­ holders to take home fire extinguishers to their local fire departments, where experts can in­ spect them and dispose of dangerous ones. MEDIHC PLACES VETERANS -- Since 1970, HEW's Medical Experience Directed Into Health Careers (MEDIHC) program has placed nearly 8,000 veterans in jobs in the health field or in health occupations education. HEW says more than 20,000 veterans with military allied health training and experience return to civilian life each year, and studies show more than two- thirds of them would like to find health-re­ lated civilian occupa­ tions. The MEDIHC program, administered by the states in coopera­ tion with HEW and the Department of Defense, offers job counseling to these veterans, and re­ fers them to job open­ ings in the health field. Interested veterans can get more information about the MEDIHC pro­ gram by writing to MEDIHC, Building 31, NIH, Bethesda, Mary­ land 20014.

Persons who have not completed their reservations for the annual meeting should do so at once by phoning the hospital administrator's office. The persons are welcome to join to accomplish two things: Support the work of the hospital as an association member and attend the annual meeting to learn latest developments in the hospital's regional complex plans. In his annual report to be presented at the annual meeting, Olsen says one of the most challenging aspects of health care studied by Ernst and Ernst concerns the trends in providing modern health care facilities covering a wide spectrum of existing and potentially new services, new services. "Emphasis is being placed on reducing the length of time patients remain in an acute hospital. However, this can introduce difficult problems for patients who do not have arrangements for a long period of convalescence," he explains. One of the goals ~ as suggested in the Freisen report prepared in 1969-70 -- is to adapt the present hospital for long- term care and ambulatory patients. Long-range plans call for construction of a health care complex on the Stilling property south of McHenry-- land donated to the hospital last November. A look at data showing the increased number of patients served emphasizes the public's growing expectations of full health care at McHenry hospital. In i960, the hospital had 3,744 patients. By 1965 the total had reached 7,900. By 1970, the total was 13,900 and for 1972 the total was 15,538. 3 •V TMI OLD TIMCft PAGE 7-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, J ANUARY 31, 1973 A man had been talking for hours ^bout himself and From G. R. Hill, Seagoville, Tex.: I remember when most rural schools had Literary Societies and many of the boys and girls played hooky on April Fool's day. I remember the hogs warning us of an approaching "northern­ er" or "blue whistler" by pushing or carrying leaves to make a bed. It was a great deal of fun to be permitted to ring the large bell at our school. I also remember a teacher who punished me for skipping school - she made me march around the school ground NEW each recess period with a pole on my shoulder. We knew winter was finally over when Easter arrived - we al­ ways got the itch to go barefooted on Easter Sunday. And Christmas was so much fun back then. I can still see the big cedar trees that were put. in the church and in the school building ' for the festive Christmas Eve celebrations. • * * » The explanation of the younger generation is to be found in the older genera­ tion. his achievements.
