H<\tii£4 k' . UI.H H! DNKSDAY. OCTOBER 25. If78 ViS|M'cli\r BEYOND CAMP DAVID H> IfON * I.I) KKW. \\ Now that the Camp David euphoria and anti-euphoria have passed over us, it is time to sort out some of the lessons learned from that ex­ traordinary summit " President Carter has gained stature by presenting the world with the prospect of peace in the Middle East It will do no good for his critics to belittle his effort or hope that it will somehow go wrong Clearly the duty of the loyal opposition is to probe for weak spots in the administration's policy 'of which there are enough 1 and offer their best advice so that, the peace we have all sought will be achieved * First however, there are a number of things for which we can be grateful Mr Carter's latest approach to the Middle East bears little resemblance to the bad ideas he once proposed The Soviet I'nion, much to its annoyance, is playing no role in the current efforts The FLO has now become an un-organization - neither flattered nor included in the process much to Arafat's regret And. despite the lip service paid at Camp David to comprehensive solutions, what we have instead is peace by piece meal Egypt and Israel will first end their differences with perhaps a shaky detente turned into entente oriental The West Bank comes next with the Golan problem solved at an even later date A step forward, however, is not a complete journey and it would be well to understand where we are and where we must go if the region is not to experience its fifth war in a generation The clearest gain, of course, is the prospect of a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel with much of the Sinai de militarized Peace with Israel's other neighbors, however, is much less likely in the foreseeable future. * Far more complex issues are left to be negotiated Not only is mutual security in a tight place involved, but so are questions of history and theology The latter, unfortunately, go far beyond the expertise of our State Department Precisely what happens to the West Bank9 Will it be autonomous. but not sovereign0 What will be the ultimate status of East Jerusalem0 And what, after all. is a Palestinian0 There were, of course, no answers to these questions coming from Camp David. Instead. there is an assurance that a process has started That and the implied threat that if one remains outside the process that same someone will be left out of the settlement. This sounds per­ fectly reasonable to American ears, but the idea of a "process" is a disturbingly vague one to Arabs - especially to those who have more at stake than an American president's standing in the polls No wonder then that our long time friend King Hussein has been so frank in his questions and criticisms. His is equalled by the uncharacteristic bluntness of the Saudis In short, we can question the notion in Washington that the Saudis and Jordanians will at some time have to hop aboard or miss the train They know full well that if there is a train moving in the Middle East, the engineer is not Mr Carter It is in fact, as it always has been, a train without an engineer, and that means this oriental ex­ press can go off the track at any time The danger of derailment will increase over the next few months and it could do so in direct proportion to Carter's perceived success in getting a separate Egyptianlsraeli peace accord signed While the world celebrates this achievement, the pressure on the Jordanians and the Saudis will soon reach an unbearable level The reason Sinai and the West Bank have been linked together But dramatic progress on one front and no movement on the other provides a volatile mixture that could explode, leaving what has been already achieved in ruins. Nevertheless, it is completely- understandable for President Carter to take the credit and run It is even understandable for his eager minions to argue that Mr Carter takes on the tough ones and eventually succeeds, thereby dwarfing the paltry achievements of his predecessors It is un­ derstandable. but deplorable, and politically dangerous. To assert this, is a bald falsification of history worthy of Winston Smith. Smith, you recall, did precisely that for Big Brother in Orwell's novel "1984." It has become a characteristic of this "out­ sider" administration to ignore the successes of the past ~ the foundation on which its op­ portunities for success are laid. In the Middle East this is especially true In fact, the Camp ' David agreements resemble the Rogers peace plan of the early 1970s Meanwhile, crucial events such as Egypt's turning from the Soviet Union in 1970 -- oc­ curring long before the gleam of presidential ambitions ap­ peared in a certain Georgia governor's eye - are ignored by the hajlelujah choristers If Mr Carter wants to claim all the credit so be it But he cannot expect others to remain silent or play the bipartisan game only when it is politically Twice Told Tales FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 25. 1928) Court room fans who assembled in the circuit court toom were again disappointed as the much talked of hearing on the padlock cases to be presented by Special State's Attorney Charles Hadley were postponed until Nov. 13. The reason given in most of the cases was that the counsel seemed to be busy with politics and wanted the cases held over until after the Nov. 6 election. C E Maxwell, superin­ tendent of the Woodstock Children's Home, is pleased to learn that the McHenry Kiwanis club endorsed the campaign for funds which is being made to replace a expedient for the White House to do so. The truth is. in the Middle East alone, Mr. Carter has made plenty of mistakes To his credit, he has learned from some of them. But he cannot claim he has succeeded where no one else has. In fact, he can only succeed if he keeps the matter unpoliticized and seeks the help and support of others outside his narrow circle of ardent supporters. There is too much left to do in the Middle East, and the stakes are too high for any other course to be taken I C O A S T T O C O A S T S T O R E S m mm total harthvare OUR 7th ANNUAL SPECIAL SELECTION PRICE TOY SALE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27 ONLY!

Many duck blinds are erected in Pistakee Lake, and once the season closes, hunters do not always remove their duck blind. Or they often leave the post that holds the blind in the water These posts, left par­ tially submerged, can result in serious accidents to skiers and costly damages to boats. Boaters and skiers in the area want something done to assure them that hunters will remove all the wood used to construct a blind once hunting season has ended Joann Britt of Pistakee Terrace is meeting with Chief Walk of Fox Lake this week in an effort to see what can be done to assure boaters and spurgeons This Week You Can Buy One Uniform for Full Price and Get Another Uniform of the Same Value or Less for Just Pick from our entire stock of one and two piece styles in white.
