MUSIN " N' MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) proposals in regard to mass transportation for this part of the state. The explanation, of necessity, may need to contain some specifics, but the story comes out dull and confusing to the average person. No wonder the public, loses interest in something which probably should be important to many people. And the number of agencies involved, and the part each plays, would discourage any reader. Journalists are taught to express themselves in simple terms for all to understand. If agencies of all kinds -- and we must include educators remembered this rule, all of us might grasp a new meaning and interest in the fast moving events of the world about us. A brief note comes from the Robert Hanfords in the North woods of Wisconsin. It hardly seems that almost seven years have passed since they left McHenry. Their message: "We love it up here; it has been good to us. Keep the Plaindealer coming, it is our link with our McHenry friends".

By using rocks, Romano was able to drive the dogs away. One of the dogs was later found in a hog house on the property and destroyed. A second dog was trapped in a live trap which had been placed on the property the previous day. The animal was removed by the McHenry county rabies officer. The dogs involved in the attack were of mixed breeds and none appeared to have collars for identification. Sheriff Tyrrell urges the Letter from Washington by Senator Charles H. Percy » It has been nearly four months now since that mem­ orable day in February when the first American prisoners of war made the long journey from Hanoi to Clark Air Base in the Philippines. It was a thrilling mo­ ment for all Americans as we watched those men complete the first leg of their trip back to the United States. Our hearts and our prayers went out to them and their fam­ ilies, wishing them all the best as they returned to new lives in the United States. I recall vividly that I made a personal pledge that day to help fulfill the deep obligation that all Americans share to the servicemen and civilians who were held captive during the war in Southeast Asia. That sense of obligation was renewed as I had the op­ portunity to talk personally with many of the returned prisoners of war. In a real sense we have reached the time when the cheering has stopped over the return of our prisoners of war. Citizens in cities and towns all across America have paid tribute to these men with warm welcomes and stirring celebrations. Now we must assure them through c o n c r e t e a c t i o n t h a t o u r pledges to provide support will be fulfilled as they make new adjustments at home. Our returned prisoners of war have a number of needs that must be met. First, we must strive to give them the time and privacy to renew their ties with loved ones. Al­ though it is a time of joy for both the servicemen and their families, many have been residents of the county to be extremely cautious. If anyone sees a pack of dogs, he should notify the Sheriff's department or a local police agency. "Remember, a pack of dogs, whether in groups of three, four or a dozen, must be considered a danger to the community", Tyrrell stressed. He further warned those who own dogs in McHenry county that the law states dogs are not allowed to roam at large and must have the proper inoculation against rabies. A copy of the ordinance per­ taining to dogs is available at the Sheriff's department. ADVERTISE YOUR PRODUCT OR SERVICE IN THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER . . . WHERE READERSHIP & RESPONSE TURNS ON. PHONE 385-0170 3812 W. ELM 385-0170 away so long that they need a period of adjustment. I think we can all be proud that our nation is paying them that personal respect. We also must provide the best medical care available. Years of imprisonment have taken a severe toll on many of these men. For some, the physical scars of prison life, or injuries suffered at the time of capture, will be with them for life. We owe them the assurance that they al­ ways will receive proper care. Many of our prisoners of war are returning to civilian life and face the resumption of old careers or the pursuit of higher education. We must see that they are guaranteed the opportunity to either pick up where they left off or chart new courses. Making their way in a society that has changed dramatically dur­ ing their imprisonment will not be easy, and we must stand ready to help. I have joined a number of my colleagues in co-sponsor­ ing a plan that would meet many of the obligations we owe our returned prisoners of war. Specifically, it would provide two benefits that would make their transition to life in the United States easier. First, the plan calls for a "two-for-one" retirement pro­ gram. Each day spent in a captured or missing status could be counted as two days toward retirement. The pro­ gram would remain open for two years following repatria­ tion. Therefore, a former prisoner could retire early and still obtain benefits due him if he remained in service much longer. The program would speed a former prison­ er's new career or education and help make up for the, months op years spent in cap­ tivity. Second, the plan would pro­ vide full health cpfre for all former prisoners and their dependents for as long as it is needed. We have learned from past conflicts that many med­ ical and psychological prob­ lems were not apparent until long after prisoners returned to civilian life. And, of course, many former prisoners suffer chronic disabilities. Long-term health care would give these men and their families peace of mind for the future. I am pleased that this plan is under consideration in the S e n a t e . I a m e s p e c i a l l y pleased that I have had the opportunity to participate in its progress. I can assure you that I will work diligently to see that it becomes law. Americans who spent time in enemy prisons during our involvement in the war in Southeast Asia made enor­ mous sacrifices for their country. We must assure them that we are doing every­ thing possible to smooth their return to civilian life and guarantee them a future free from worry. TURN ONS PIC? YOU WAKE UP GRUMPY THie MORM/NG? rslo.

An­ derson (R-Ill.) has introduced legislation to bar the use of American military forces m hostilities beyond ninety days - without a declaration of war or s p e c i f i c c o n g r e s s i o n a l authorization. The bill would also create a congressional Joint Committee on National Security to consult with the President before and after the introduction of American .» foreces into combat situations, \ t o r e c e i v e a n d t r a n s m i t Presidential reports required by the bill, and to inform and advise Congress on legislation to either terminate or extend the President's authority for the use of troops. In introducing his^Defense Emergency Procedures Act of 1973, the third-ranking House Republican said: I have long felt that the Congress^ must act to restore its war power r e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s a n d prerogatives under the Con­ stitution if we are to avoid future involvement in un­ declared wars without the full knowledge and approval of the Congress. Our Constitution has wisely provided for shared powers between the legislative and executive branches in the area of foreign policy and matters of war and peace. I think the passage of a strong war powers bill which carefully delineates these powers and responsibilities will help to insure the revitalization of Congress and safeguard against backing into protracted military commitments." Noting that a war powers bill has already cleared the Senate Foreign Relations committee and another is ^pending in the House Foreign Affairs com­ mittee, Anderson said he was offering his bill to help - PLAIND EA LER-W ED NE SDAY, MAY 30, 1973 stimulate full debate on various alternatives. The Senate bill provides a 30-day limitation on the President's authority to use troops in emergency situations; the House Foreign Affairs Committee bill contains a 120-day deadline. But both provide for earlier termination of the authority by passage of resolutions in both Houses.. Neither bill provided for a Joint Committee on National Five From Area Graduate From State Wesleyan Illinois Wesleyan university awarded degrees to 389 students at the 114th com-, mencement held Sunday, May 20.
