PAGE 6-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1973 EARL WALSH e* I Hear SPORTS EDITORJ July 1-7 Week Designated National Safe Boating Week Sunday night about 9:30 the phone rang and word came to us that the Rauen Rating Bureau (not the Nielsen) was calling to see which TV program we were watching. and saw Milt Pappas shut out the Cards 2-0. Now, Jwhat would we be watching but Wunnerful, Wunnerful Lawrence Welk? Paul Popovich, subbing for Glen Beckert at second base, fielded and hit like the greatest reserve infielder in the game. That he is! Mayor Joseph B. Stanek has designated the week beginning July 1-7 as NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK, in keeping with President Nixon's National Proclamation. Anthony Bianchi, McHenry resident, a member of the United States Coast Guard auxiliary, Flotilla 3-2, has been named Safe Boating Week Committee Chairman for this area. He has arranged for local boaters to have their craft safety checked by a team of examiners from the USCGAUX. Courtesy Motor- boat Examiners will be located at Watts Marina, Pistakee Lake, Route 12, U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety Detach­ ment Headquarters, Fox Lake, Route 12, Bauske's Boat Basin, Fox Lake, Steitzs' Marina, Bluff Lake- and many other marinas around the Chain-O- Lakes. Examinations will begin at 10 a.m. July 1, Sunday. Boats passing the examination will be issued decals which show that they meet the necessary equipment requirements for the Coast Guard and the higher stan­ dards of the USCGAUX. Anthony Bianchi said the purpose of National Safe Boating Week is to point out to pleasure boaters the basic rules and regulations for safety afloat and the need for main­ taining a safe and properly equipped boat. Just as good equipment is essential for good boating, so is adequate safety equipment essential for safe boating, according to the committee chairman. Remember - Safe Boating Is No Accident. *The United States Coast Guard auxiliary works with the regular Coast Guard as civilian volunteers. With National Safe Boating Week from July 1 through July 7. Wonder Lake Flotilla 6-6, goal is boating safety for everyone. There are traffic rules on the water just as there are traffic rules with cars on the streets or on the highways. When the traffic rules are violated on the streets or highways you may wind up with a serious ac­ cident. Boating is no different. It is just a matter of knowing the rules and using your head. The rules are there for everyone's safety. At least half of the recreational drowning victims in the United States last year never intended going into the water in the first place, either they were involved in a boat sinking or they slipped, tripped or fell into the water. If you boaters have followed the many Plaindealer articles released by the Coast Guard and Coast Guard auxiliary, you have been made aware of the importance of following the rules of SAFE BOATING. Watch for future articles that give valuable advice. You may save a life. There were a lot of favorite requests on the air and Arnold must have thought how terrible it would be if we were caught napping. We got around to the Sox in due time! The first game? Phooey! Had to turn the Cub-Cardinal game on to be polite to guests The second game? Holy Cow! Ed Herrmann shaved off his beard and mustache and drove in 7 runs . j Got rid of all that weight. TV [COMMENTARY American Legion Baseball - Softball The hits were even at 6 apiece, but Wonder Lake managed to get theirs at more strategic times and pull off a 6-2 victory over McHenry. On a playing field that was in poor condition, May hit a homerun for Wonder Lake, Oleszczuk followed that with a double and Watkins with a single, as Wonder Lake put 4 runs across in the second in­ ning. They added another run in the third and sixth inning^. Steve Stanek and Dave Wickenkamp drove in the runs for McHenry, as Kevin Worm, Steve Kasprzyk, Tim Tonyan and Ray Williams also collected hits. Vankanegan, May, Oleszczuk and Watkins were the only hitters for Wonder Lake. BOX SCORE McHENRY ab r h Worm p 4 11 S. Stanek cf 4 0 1 Belohlavy If 4 0 0 Wickenkamp c 2 0 1 Kasprzyk 2b 3 0 1 P.

After the loss to Woodstock last week, the girls buckled down to beat their opponents 12-4. McHenry was on the scoreboard first by tallying one run in both the first and second innings, but the Lake-In-The-Hills girls tied the score at two-all in the third. The fourth proved to be the big inning as McHenry sent ten players to bat and scored seven runs, topped by a homerun by Robin Perrino. A homerun by Mary King in the seventh ac­ counted for McHenry's final Wee runs. The VFW team is nCto 1-1, with an upcoming hon%game on Friday, June 22, at th^VFW. BOX SCORE K. ConnA4 M. Kinge R.

Kortemeier Res. 338 0975 Off. 338-2000 The 1976 Race- '> The Candidates- The Maneuvering- The Two Parties- WASHINGTON, D.C.~The maneuvering is on for 1976 nominations in both maj parties. Sounds come fro' more Republican camps than Democratic. Already in the speculation are Governors Ronald Reagan of California and Nelson Rockefeller of New York. Of late Senator Charles Percy of Illinois has indi­ cated he would be willing (almost certainly President Nixon would block that one). Then, of course, there is Vice President Spiro Agnew, who must be considered the favorite. Several members of the Senate's select committee investigating Watergate also are having romantic dreams --and that's probably what t h e y a r e . T h e c h a i r m a n , Sam Erwin of North Carolina, stands little chance in the Democratic derby and the best bet on the Republican s i d e o f t h e c o m m i t t e e i s probably Howard Baker of Tennessee, but as a second- place nominee. The Democratic crystal ball is clouded by the fixa­ tion of so many party peo­ ple on Senator Ted Kennedy. Despite warnings from some pros that Ted can't win a national election, he's fa­ vored to get the nomination because of the great built- in store of sympathy for his family, generated by two brutal assassinations. But there are others who could, because of several factors, wind up with the Democratic nomination. Sen- NETWORK LEADERS are courageously leading the na­ tion in sexacasting. A glance over the shoulder would re­ veal to them a marked lack ol a following. Affiliated stations are sending a vol- iey of complaints up to net­ work, saying they can do without such sex as that contained in "The Lie" and Maude's abortion. However, General Buiimoose Network, chest thrown forward, claims to know what's good for the U.S.A. (It ain't neces­ sarily so!) NBC'S JULY 3 "The Stars and Stripes Snow" will have Tennessee Ernie Ford as host, and that's not all. Bob Hope, Lou Rawls, Doc Sev- erinson, Anita Bryant, Mick­ ey Mantle and Johnny Unitas will be on board for the mom's apple pie, true grit show. A group of former POWs, led by Colonel Robin­ son Risner will be present. It should be a good show. ator Henry Jackson of Wash­ ington is one; he is particu­ larly strong with Jewish voters, who are particularly strong in the Democratic Party. Several Governors, in­ cluding Florida's Rueben Askew, have a chance. The man who may have a most influential voice in the pro­ cess, Alabama Governor George Wallace, could prob­ ably never win the nomina­ tion. Curiously enough, if he did he might win the election--based on a demon­ strated ability to attract voters--the center vote-from both parties. There's also Senator Har­ old Hughes of Iowa, among Democrats, who could be­ come a strong candidate. Senators Muskie of Maine and Humphrey of Minnesota are considered also-rans at this stage, though Muskie might be capable of a new bid. Humphrey probably is not. And on the G.O.P. side there is also Jonn Connaliy, but he is badly handicapped by having been a Democrat until 1973.

Todays Health Neivs Published by the American Mud leal Association More Medicare benefits. . . T h i s year the federal government will spend an estimated $24.2 billion to keep Americans healthy. Medi­ care alone will account for nearly $12 billion -- 26 percent more than last year. Much of the money will be used to pay hospital and doctor bills of the nearly 1.5 mil­ lion disabled workers who are newly eligible for coverage. Pre­ viously, only those who had reach­ ed age 65 were covered, Begin­ ning this month, however, all dis­ abled workers, regardless of age, who have been receiving Social Security or Railroad Disability benefits for 24 consecutive months or more, now qualify for Medicare. The new coverage includes the following: 1. Disabled workers. 2. Disabled widows and widow­ ers between 50 and 65. 3. Mothers, 50 and older, who became disabled in the last two years and have not sought dis­ ability payments because they collect benefits as the mothers of young or disabled children in their care. Persons under 65 who need kidney transplants, or dialysis, are also covered, provided they worked at least one-and-a-half years or long enough to be in­ sured (depending on birth date). Similar treatment will also be provided for insured workers' wives or husbands and dependent children. A booklet, "A Brief Explana­ tion of Medicare," describing the expanded coverage is available at any Social Security office. Acne and Vitamin E . . . Will rubbing vitamin E on the skin help my acne, asks a reader, or should I take vitamin E capsules to help clear up the condition? Neither, says Linda Schoen, Today's Health beauty adviser. Acne is not caused by any vita­ min deficiency, and there is no scientific evidence to support claims that vitamin E is helpful for acne or acne scarring. Bart Johnson got a start and looked like he can pitch and win some games for the Sox. Somebody has to. Hate to give some people too much comfort, but it looks like the Yanks are comin'. They knocked off Detroit twice on Sunday and seem in the mood for love-love of victory. Those Crystal Lake - Terra Cotta folks continue to invade McHenry. As we feasted at McHenry Country Club Friday night, in came Harold and Laurette Knox, and Harold's little sister, Mabel Wyman, and her husband, Willis. Seemed like old times and it seemed real good to meet those old friends from the southern suburbs of McHenry. Inflation is when the thing you bought a few years ago now costs more to repair than you paid for it. If you have acne that does not respond to routine skin care, such as frequent cleansing and use of non-prescription products, consult a dermatologist for treat­ ment, "There is no cure for acne," says Ms. Schoen, "but proper treatment can help minimize the severity of the condition and sub­ sequent scarring." Looking for new furniture? ... Then buy something healthy, say the experts. Doctors and even some furniture designers, al­ though sometimes disagreeing on the best means to the end, agree that the furniture in the home should contribute to better health -- both physical and emotional. In the mattress department, for example, the firmer the better, according to Irwin M. Siegel, M.D., head of the muscular dystrophy clinic at the University of Illinois. "If you have any doubt about the one you already have," says the doctor, "put a bed board be­ tween the mattress and the spring, or put the mattress on the floor." But watch out for waterbeds. They're OK for the young, vigor­ ous individual with a healthy back, explains Dr. Siegel, but generally they don't provide suf­ ficient support. What about chairs? The older you are, the more likely you are to need support. And, says the doctor, the longer you are going to be sitting in a particular chair, the more necessary is support. Bean bag chairs, blown up furni­ ture, or extremely soft and deep chairs and sofas are all right for a brief period of time -- but the favorite chair should be a firm chair that's not only comfortable to sit in, but easy to get out of. It's up to the buyer to balance the i>sychological benefits of deep soft luxury against the physical benefits of a more orthopedically sound piece of furniture, but there is one chair recommended for people of all tastes, ages, and physical conditions: the rocking chair. The rocker provides good back support, allows a frequent change of position, and provides psychological comfort. Its gentle motion aids circulation and also prevents arthritic joints from get­ ting stiff. There's good news on other fronts, too, as researchers work to make the chairs and sofas in your home less hazardous. Syn­ thetic stuffing and fabrics are be­ ing used more, a boon to those suffering from asthma and various allergies. Flammability regula­ tions on carpeting, mattresses, and soon upholstered furniture are being put into effect, making these furnishings safer. And if you're tired of snapping your back out of whack every time your mother-in-law comes to visit and you have to open up the bed in the living room, take heart: Even pull out beds have been im­ proved to take some of the tug­ ging out of them.
