PAGE 18 - PI,\I\1>E\LEE-FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1975 EDITORIflLS Cancer Hope Cancer will claim the lives of thousands of Americans this year. Despite progress made, the American Cancer society and cancer specialists stress the necessity of educating the public to the fact that early cancer is curable. What scientists would like to discover is a single key test which would simply and surely detect the disease, such as the blood test used to detect syphilis. But no such test is yet available. And some forms of the disease are almost incurable. Because the cause is not yet thoroughly understood, cancer checkups are one of the sensible precautions one can take. These checkups usually result in early discovery of the disease--when it can be cured. The Right-Nowhere To Go The plight of the right, of conservatives, is emphasized by present bickering within the Republican party. Former Governor Ronald Reagan and many other conservatives-are unhappy with some of the recent appointments and compromise policies of the White House. v x This is by now an old story, not only within Republican ranks but within the Democratic party as well, where Southerners once wielded considerable power as a strong conservative wing of the party. (Some Southerners switched to the Republican party in the fifties and sixties as it became clear the left would dominate the Democratic party as far as the eye could see into the future.) Dissident conservatives in the G.O.P. today really have nowhere to go. The most recent Harris poll on party preference showed the Democrats with 47 per cent, the Republicans 21 per cent and independents 32 per cent. Clearly, if President Ford doesn't cater to the independents, he and his party have little chance to win an election next year. Conservatives such as Reagan, who boasts a fine record as Governor of California, protest that White House appointments should be made on the basis of political appeal, but should be given to those who will loyally implement the policy and philosophy of the President. A good argument can be made for such a proposition, but only morally. It seems very likely that if the conservatives should capture control of the 1976 G.O.P. convention, as they may do, and nominate more conservative candidates than Ford and Rockefeller, they could be dooming the Republican party to a shattering defeat in 1976. This is not good news for Conservatives, but facts of political life. HOUGHTON HEATING • Air Conditioning • Gutters PHONE 385-5476 McHENRY DR.

HELPFUL CITIZENS "Editor: "As I write this, people are still digging out from the big snowstorm of April 2, a storm that saw motorists stalled in the roads for miles and miles. I was one of the unlucky ones trying to get home from Waukegan. The trip took three and one-half hours; ordinarily a bit less than an hour from my house at Wonder Lake to radio station in Waukegan. "I want, in this way, to give a big thank you to the wonderful women of Lakemoor who opened their Community House, offered their facilities, and served coffee to the stranded ones. "I was one of those in the stalled line that didn't move for at least a half hour. What a pleasant surprise to have a smiling woman with a tray of steaming coffee appear at the car door. Never has coffee tasted any better; never have I been any more grateful for the warming drink. "This is the second time that I have been offered a special kindness by some of our wonderful neighbors. Early in March, I skidded from the road at McCullom Lake and ended up in a deep ditch. In this day when people say no one cares, of the twelve cars that passed me in my predicament, seven offered aid. "The first offer, from a young Wonder Lake man, had been accepted. That is, I gave him my home phone number so that Businessman's Corner LET'S TALK ABOUT NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING Presented to you by Tom Miller Adv. Mgr. IS NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING A GOOD "SHOT-IN THE ARM?" Surprisingly there are many businessmen who advertise only once in a while, usually only when business begins to slow down to the point where they are forced to become alarmed. To alleviate their distress these fellows hastily write a big advertisement, rush down to their local newspaper office and place it for the next edition. Then, they return to their place of business, sweep the floors, wash the windows, dust the stock, and generally get ready to greet the droves of people they expect will respond immediately, when the paper hits the street. What usually happens? If this type of businessman has taken the time and put forth the necessary effort to write a very attractive ad, and if that ad appears in the news­ paper at a time when the local readers are ready for his offer, and if the weather is good and the publication comes out near a large local payday, he'll probably get some appreciable results from his ad, though it will be short lived in most cases. Then what happens? Mr. Once-In-A-While Advertiser, when asked what results he got from his ad will probably say, "Oh I got some people in, and even sold quite a bit of merchandise, but the extra customer flow didn't last long -- advertising just doesn't seem to work for me." Then, before anyone can tell him what he is doing wrong, he quickly reverts to his old ni-be-damned-if I'll-advertise- regularly attitude. What is he really doing? He's cutting off his nose to get even with his face! When you're sick in bed with a condition serious enough to call the doctor, when the doctor prescribes four pills a day until you are well, would you take ONE pill, throw the rest away, and sit back and wait for results? If your sewer was clogged and the plumber said that it needs to have a complete root-reaming job, would you say, "That's o.k., Mr. Plumber, I'll just use a bottle of this liquid drain opener and see if that doesn't suffice?" And when your auto mechanic tells you your car needs a complete overhaul, do you tell him to just fix the dang­ ling tailpipe? Most business people wouldn't do any of these foolish things, but some would turn right around and cut out all newspaper advertising because a few ads didn't bring people in for 90 days after they ran in the paper, while being fully aware of the fact that "sick business" demands much more than once-in-a-while advertising. Seemingly some businessmen are out to prove to them­ selves, their newspaper representative, perhaps even their wives, that they do not need regular, consistent newspaper advertising, because their businesses are so well known in the community. This kind of thinking is plain and simple balderdash! While newspaper advertising may very well give your business a "shot'-in-the-arm" on a one time ad, you can , bet your bottom dollar you are depriving yourself of a constant flow of customers, in sufficient numbers to make .vdLr business quite healthy, by approaching advertising Th your newspaper on that basis. By J. Austin NEXT WEEK: ADVANTAGES OF ADVERTISING IN YOUR LOCAL PAPER my husband in his trusty four- wheel-drive vehicle could come and get me. The young man did make the call; my husband winched my car out of the ditch. Isn't it touching that so many offered aid as I sat in the ditch waiting? We live in a pretty nice area, I think. "Van Sells" LOCKS OPERATION "Dear Sirs: "At a time when it is popular to throw rocks (verbal) at politicians and other public servants, I would like to give credit where credit is due. "I do not know who is in charge or is responsible for the operation of the locks at the McHenry dam, but I do know that their actions in opening the locks early last winter helped to reduce the water level of the Fox river and the Chain O' Lakes, which has greatly reduced the chances of flooding in our area. At a time when our neighbors on all sides are lighting floods, the Fox seems to be within its banks. "For the first time in several years, I have a dry basement and can look forward to putting in a garden before June. "In view of the good results attained this year, I hope the good work will be continued in the future. "Sincerely, "C.F. Schroeder" ORCHIDS "Editor: "Orchids to Freddie Meyer and his crew of city workers for the wonderful job they did once more in clearing our city streets in our recent spring snowfall. I don't know of any area in the vicinity where they do a better job. "Where else could the girls get out to play their monthly game of bridge at the height of the storm on a snowy night? We knew we could count on our streets being accessible. Thanks for a job well done! "Dorothy Uttich" SALUTE TO COURAGE "Dear Editor: "Maybe it is time we let the high school board and ad­ ministration know that we, the public, do read the accounts of their meetings. "Maybe it is time we salute the board president, James Althoff, for having the courage to oppose, often alone, the administration's recom­ mendations on matters he feels are not in the best interests of the residents of the district. "Mr. Althoff voted against the administration's recom­ mendation that the schools provide smoking areas for the students. He was out-voted. ••••••••••••• I- Legal Notice IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE 19TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, McHENRY COUNTY, ILLINOIS PROBATE DIVISION- ESTATE OF MARIE A.

MARGARET O'NEIL Clerk of the Court (Pub. April 4, 11 & 18, 1975) "Mr. Althoff voted against holding a county referendum until our own needs were satisfied. He was out-voted. "Mr. Althoff voted against the administration's recom­ mendation that the board renew the contract of the teacher who taught obscenities in class. He was out-voted. "Wake up McHenry! Give Mr. Althoff your support or don't you really care? "William J. Bolger" QUESTION SCHOOL DECISION "Dear Editor: "Does the High School District 156 board, with the exception of James Althoff, approve of Raymond Mathis teaching obscenities and death to freshmen in High School? "That is the impression I got from the front page of the April 4 McHenry Plaindealer. "We are sending our children to school to learn a better way of life. The later in life our children learn obscenities, the less apt they are to use them in their daily speech. "Is it less of a shock, and embarrassment, to hear such words come out of a teacher's mouth than someone else's mouth? "On the subject of death, most students know about death by the time they enter high school. For some students the subject is just an unpleasant subject, for others it is a nightmare. How many students have lived with one or more dying family members, relative or someone else very close? It could be cancer patient who suffers for months or a person with ter­ minal brain disease that may live for one or two years knowing he will live one or two more as a vegetable. Possibly, no probably, the students who have seen death approach under these and similar cir­ cumstance are a small minority so I don't see what more they need to know about death from a classroom. These children often relive these experiences from such discussions. "Would it not be better for the majority to learn more about death when they are more mature and better able to cope with it? "I don't like my taxes going toward paying for this type of 'education'! "I hope that it is other areas of teaching that induced the school board to retain Mr. Mathis, and will request him to refrain from teaching the above mini-courses, or at least have them as optional with parents' permission only. "I am thankful for the one and only negative vote which I feel was a vote for morality against such teaching, by the high school board president. "Wayne T. Smith" & A 'O o> % A 'Oa KOYAL WELCOME A.

Weekly Market Review Since its birth three months ago, this Bull market has been extremely successful in passing one very important test of its strength-how it performs in the face of potentially chilling news. As is well known, there were numerous developments since the first of the year which provided all the excuse needed for a heavy correction but the market ignored the opportunity to sell and buying interest remained substantial. This has been an indication of substantial underlying strength and has been a major factor behind our optimism. Lately, however, we have had the opportunity to see how stocks act in the face of good news and some news generally believed to be favorable. So far, the market is scoring lower marks than it had earlier in the year. We have been anxious to test market action in the face of good news as we have been looking for a clue to just what was responsible for our rally. .The main stimulus was either of the following or more likely a combination of both: (1) Our Bull was due to just the fact that unless the world was coming to an end, stocks were extremely oversold or (2) that investors were discounting better things to come for the economy, inflation and interest rates. If the former, we would be left with lots of goodies not yet discounted--if the latter, once the better economic news was upon us, a healthy but hardy correction would be in order. Lately, market action has shown increased signs of fatigue. The upside has become much more selective, volume has come down, a number of recent trading favorites act very sluggishly, and selling pressure meets reduced resistance. And all of this has been occurring in the face of some of the best economic news this year. Leading indicators of business activity rose 1 percent in February, the first increase since July; the U.S. posted a trade surplus in February of $917 million, a record; the fed aggressively injected funds into the banking system; the tax cut was approved (we are part of the minority which feels, as approved, it holds more long term negatives than short term positives). Selling in the face of good news means the news had been discounted and also ' probably means more selling is likely over the short term. A cautious but not bearish stance as we described in our report last week still appears advisable.

Catholic Foundation In First Annual Report Are You New In McHenry Area ? •••••••••• Do You Know Someone new? WE WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND A ROYAL WELCOME TO EVERY NEWCOMER TO OUR AREA ! ! ! ! ! I CALL JOAN STULL 385-5418 J The McHenry County Catholic Education Foundation has recently released its first annual report to donors and Catholic parishioners of McHenry county. The annual report, distributed in the fourteen parishes of the county April 6, indicated that a total of $940,096 has been pledged to the Foundation Endowment fund, with over $400,000 already collected. According to the report, the purpose of the Foundation is "to provide financial support to all facets of Catholic education within the jurisdiction of the McHenry county board of Catholic education." This in­ cludes CCD. (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine) and other religious education programs; the seven parochial elementary schools in the county; St. Margaret Mary, Algonquin; Sts. Peter and Paul, Cary; St. Thomas Crystal Lake; ^St. Joseph, Harvard; St. John the Baptist, Johnsburg, Montini, McHenry; St. Mary, Wood­ stock; and Marian Central Catholic High School. In issuing the report, the Foundation board of directors announced that 1974 showed an excess of interest and dividend income over expenses, and that a distribution of $5,123 will be made to the schools and religious education programs on July 1. Donald P. Doherty of McHenry, chairman of the Foundation board, presented the annual report with a word of appreciation to the 2,16Q donors. "As the Foundation begins its second full year," Doherty stated, "we asl$ that you continue your prayers and support for Catholic education."
