PAGE 20 - PI -AINDF \LER - WF.DNESDAY. JI NK 8. 15)77 ~ EDffORiflLS Television News Millions of Americans are now cemented into the habit of watching the evening television news; most of them assume they are thereby following events intelligently, that this is a worthy supplement, or substitute, for following the news with careful reading of a good newspaper. The capsuled, entertaining news which can be caught on film, or which fits into film coverage, and which can be crammed into about twenty minutes at night, isn't the news of the day. Sometimes it doesn't even include the most important news event of the day for millions of Americans. And seldom does it offer in- depth analysis of complicated news events because there either isn't time or viewers might be lost. Why isn't there time? Because the cost of time on national television is astronomical and continues to increase. ABC is expected to get $125,000 for a one-minute commercial in prime time this fall! With time being so dear and profitable, networks aren't going to risk audience loss with lengthy, detailed analysis pf the issues. Their prime aim is to capture the biggest audience, and to do that news must be easily understood, brief, suitable for filming and. if possible, dramatic. The networks could sell additional news time evenings, and some seriously contemplated doing so in recent months. But fewer viewers are likely to sit through an hour of network news. And affiliate stations don't want it. Thus the only way to be adequately informed on national and international news is from careful reading of a good newspaper. It just can't be done, the easy way. sitting in front of a television set. „ f Advantages Of America This is the time of year when graduation oratory fills the air on high school and college campuses across the nation. Never in recent years has the importance of what is being said to students been greater than it is today when so many youngsters are confused, or dissatisfied. Admittedly, the graduate of 1977 enters a society far from perfect. The graduate need not agree with the customs, laws or traditions of his country. But most of them, and most graduates of all years, must agree with the principle that change is made through orderly means, if our society is to survive as a democratic one. The 1977 graduate will gradually adjust his philosophy as he teams the facts and learns to appreciate the wonderful advantages of being an American and of living in America.

We reserve the right to delete any material which we consider libelous or in objectional taste.} SATISFIED "To The Editor: "I was very pleased with what I saw in the May 25 issue of the Plaindealer. "You had pictured St. Patrick's Town & Country affair coming; Mrs. Ralph Smith's talk at the United Methodist church; a picture of the Confirmation class at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church; also pictured the acolyte outing of St. Paul's Episcopal church. "And so it goes throughout the year. "Arthur D. McKay "Vicar. St. Paul's Episcopal Church" LET'S DO IT RIGHT "The Public Pulse: "As a prelude to the following questions and statements. I have always been interested in the improvement of McCullom Lake The lake was one of the primary considerations in­ volving the purchase of our Lakeland Park property twenty years ago. "First, in reply to Harold Bowlin's Public Pulse letter of May 27. 1977, some questions: ; "1 - Where were you Mr. Bowlin when Ray Rode, Dennis Storlie and myself met with Alderman Datz and Supt. of Public Works Fred Meyer to finalize Brittany Builders covered tile and notch dam? "2 -- Who else walked with you and the others you named to inspect the drains into Mc- Cujlom Lake? "3 - Who will benefit the most from lake dredging? Could it be lakefront owners? "4 -- Who is going to pay the fines for failure to get the proper permits and con­ structing a clay berm? "5 -- Why were the matching funds from other subdivisions deleted from the Lake Management fund proposal that I wrote0 "6 -- Why was the notice pertaining to absentee balloting placed on another page of the newsletter0 What is the date of termination for absentee balloting0 "7 -- Where on Mr. Hammer's property is the spoil to be deposited? Have you looked at this property closely? "8 - Why weren't price commitments in writing with termination dates submitted instead of a . meaningless jumble of figures on a piece of paper0 "9 - For what purpose are five lakefront members sitting on a board of directors com­ posed of seven members? Two members of the board - of directors are not residents of Lakeland Park and are not bound to continue membership in the association. ^ "10 -- Why in our newsletter did it state that if the cost ran to $50,000 that it was our sole responsibility to pay? Do you realize this amounts to almost $80 per member, not $6 as stated? "11 - Who authorized a board member to itter: 'You will pay what we say!' Could this be dictatorship? "12 - Why weren't you in­ terested in listening to the operating engineer in the audience who had built two dredges and dredged several lakes? "13 -What happened and who pays when the dredge hits blue clay and becomes stuck and a crane and barge combination will be needed to free it? *14 -- Where are going to launch this dredge and why must we dredge someone else's lake bottom first? "A good dredging and rehabilitation program is a must. Is this a good one? "If you wonder why I am suspicious, perhaps a visit to the McHenry city hall and a look at the signatures of the people who circulated the petitions to stop the city of McHenry from buying the Lakeland Park Water Co., will enlighten you all. All cir­ culators' names are notarized and the names are very in­ teresting and enlightening. "Any interested parties may contact me.

"Carol Humann" THE UNIT DISTRICT "Editor: "I'd like to compliment members of the District 156 Task Force for the fine job they did in analyzing and proposing alternate solutions to the problems McHenry high school will face when the Johnsburg students leave in September, 1978. "I was amazed how well they were able to understand the complexity of the problem in a short period of time and come up with reasonable proposals for maintaining quality education in our high school. "My only surprise and disappointment is that they did not recommend a study into the feasibility of a unit school district in McHenry. "The District 15 grade school board has already decided on a tax referendum this fall. And the Task Force recom­ mendation indicates the high school board will do likewise shortly thereafter. "As a former member of District 156, I know the high school will be needing more revenue. And I am sure the District 15 board members would not be asking for a tax increase if it wasn't absolutely necessary. "The catch is that the odds are prohibitive against both tax referendums passing. The result is that the grade school and high school interests will be competing against each other for referendum approval. In the end, we could end up with a good high school but mediocre grade school system or visa versa. "That doesn't make any sense to me and personally I think most of the people in our community want the same level of quality education, kindergarten through high school. "I don't think a unit district would solve all the problems our schools have; financially and otherwise. And I know and respect the legitimate concerns and arguments of those who oppose a unit district. "But given the financial realities our schools face, it seems a unit district would not only eliminate duplications and provide economies in pur­ chasing, but it could also provide some big savings by allowing for greater flexibility in the use of buildings and facilities. "All in all, I think the tax­ payers are entitled to a seriou§ study of a unit district and a chance to vote on it before being asked to approve to separate tax increases. "Dan McNulty "2004 N.

Viewing the dead human body will not allow those who grieve to continue to deny the reality of death and also tends to initiate the necessary emotional release. Grief ex­ pressed is grief diminished.

Begin Voter Registration On Farm Issue McHenry county cattle producers and dairymen can register to vote in the national beef referendum through Friday, June 17, at the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation service (ASCS) office in Woodstock according to George Young, McHenry county Extension adviser. Voters will decide the fate of the beef research and in­ formation plan says Young. The plan is designed as a producers' self-help tool to strengthen beef markets here and abroad, increase problem- solving research in the beef industry and improve com­ munications throughout the cattle business. The plan would be funded by a deduction of 30 cents per $100 on all cattle sales. Young ex­ plains that producers who did not want to participate could have their check-off money refunded by filing a claim, providing proof of initial assessment. Beef and dairy producers will return to their ASCS offices the first two weeks in July to cast their ballots. Any legitimate cattle or dairy producer is eligible to register and vote, including FFA and 4- H youths who own their animals. According to Young, a bonafide producer is one who has owned beef or dairy cattle during a representative twelve­ month period. There is no age limit for eligible voters. • <jy mi ••p Mm Tony Fick Chuck Lewandowski Tony Fick GIVE ME A CALL FOR THE FACTS ON LOW-COST HEALTH INSURANCE.
