Find Girl In County Michigan Man Face^ Kidnapping Charges A 67-year-old Benton Harbor, Mich., man was returned to that state last week to face charges of aggravated kid­ napping. He is Harold T. Sumpter, who reportedly was discharged from a Georgia penitentiary in July, where he was serving a prison term on a kidnapping charge. The 9-year-old girl he is accused of kidnapping, Kelly Martin, was returned to her parents because of the alert­ ness of a South Elgin man. Harold Olson told Marengo police he heard a description of the child, her abductor and the get-away car on a WBBM radio broadcast. Later, he spotted the car which matched the description in Marengo and notified police. Kelly was snatched from near her Coloma, Mich., home the morning of Aug. 14. She told authorities her abductor had treated her all right. Special Surgeon "What kind of doctor are you," the lady asked politely. "I'm a naval surgeon," was the kind reply.

Actually, it is a tough, combative little winged insect with some amazing powers. In defending their home territory, butterflies can be astonishingly aggressive. An angry butterfly, for example, may pursue a trespasser for 500 yards to repel him. Adult butterflies can't bite, but some of the more pugnacious species-such as the pearl crescent and the American copper-will dart out at anything that ventures into their "turf," whether it is a cat, a dog, a human, a Frisbee, or even the shadow of an airplane. Some butterflies brawl vigorously among themselves over territorial rights. Three or four buckeye butterflies will rise into the air together and attempt to batter one another to earth. The males of the Minor's swallowtail are so belligerent that their fights often result in shredded wings, lost legs, and broken antennae. Butterfly assaults are often accompanied by a "battle cry"- •a series -of sharp clicks, audible for more than 100 feet and made by, snapping two body segments together while moving both pairs of wings at a peculiar, alternating beat. Butterflies possess remarkably acute senses. They are thought to have the broadest visual spectrum of any animal on earth. Their senses of smell and taste are extremely sharp and vital to their feeding and ' mating. Monarch butterflies, for example, have a taste sensitivity about 2,400 times greater than humans. Considering their powerful- senses and their belligerence, it's fortunate for humans that butterflies are "all bluster and no bite." Butterflies Can Be Helped Of the 20,000 species of butterflies in the world, there are 700 species in the U.S., and everywhere the insects are losing much of their habitat. Several species have been wiped out and several dozen have been pushed to the brink. Fortunately, the butterflies can be helped. Here are some suggestions as to what you can do in your backyard and in your community: - Let the edges of your lawn grow wild. If there's a patch or strip of land in your yard you've been meaning to mow, butterflies are a fine reason not to. Be tolerant of thistles and nettles, which are among the most valuable food sources for butterflies. Joe-Pye weed, ragweed, goldenrod, milkweed, knapweed, dandelions, mallow, marjoram, bugle, wild thyme, clover, meadow sweet, vetch, currant, blueberry, and tick trefoil are also extremely important to butterflies, especially as nectar sources for adults. Provide a variety of habitats. Different butterflies require different conditions, so try to create sunny areas, shaded areas, and dappled areas, protection from wind, a I shallow pool, and an adjacent damp spot for drinking. Avoid using chemical insecticides. Provide the small, bright flowers that butterflies favor, such as aralia, polyanthus, sweet rocket, honesty, mauve, valerian, pink thrift, catmint, sweet William, the single French marigolds, and white alyssum. Cut back shrubs each spring to encourage more blossoms. Also cut back some of the plants used by caterpillars-milkweed, for instance-so that tender new growth will be available for later generations that same - season. Speak out against the application of needless-and often harmful-pesticides in your town and state. Discourage the spraying and cutting of roadside vegetation. Roadsides provide pockets of prime habitat for butterflies. \ Blueberry Pancakes Make the morning something special -- sprinkle blueberries (frozen or fresh) over pancakes before they're turned on the griddle.

Peropertive a WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE SOVIET SUCCESSION By RONALD REAGAN _ A vigorous campaign is now under way in the Soviet Union to choose a successor (or successors) to Leonid Brezhnev. This campaign is, of course, nothing like the open, freewheeling democratic process of American politics. The Soviets are engaged in a process or selection rather than a process of election. But, despite the best efforts of the Soviet hierarchy to effect an orderly transition of power, the process has already triggered intense competition^ infighting and alliances around different prospective leaders. Since the Vienna summit in June, at which the frail health of Brezhnev was revealed to the world on television, speculation over l^is successor has heightened. „ What kind of leader are the Soviets looking for to assume the all-important post of general secretary of the Communist party? Most likely, the new chief will have to be a Russian, the dominant nationality of the Soviet Union, even though Russians account for only half of the population. He will have acquired a solid background in fields such as agriculture, foreign policy and industrial management. Much more so than an American president, he will have to have strong ties with and influence in all facets of the party. With these criteria in mind, Kremlinologists in the West are focussing their attention of five men: Aleksei Kosygin, M.A. Suslov, A.P. Kirilenko, Kon- stantin Chernenko and Grigori Romanov. It is widely believed that these men hold the key to post-Brezhnev power in the Soviet Union and that a suc­ cessor will emerge from their ranks. As of now, the favorite among many experts is Romanov. Beyond this educated guessing-game, the greater concern to Americans is the nature of the Soviet foreign policy to be pursued by the new leadership. Will it follow the present Soviet course of meddling in various ways in all corners of the globe? Or will it adopt a lower profile abroad and focus instead on the USSR's serious economic problems? The odds are that Soviet aggressiveness will not dim­ inish upon the succession of Brezhnev. If any change oc­ curs, it could be in the direction of even greater Russian ad­ venturism in the international scene, v Many Western observers assume, erroneously, that a wide range of opinion of foreign policy options divides the top echelon of Soviet leadership. Richard Harrison, a foreign policy expert for the Heritage foundation, a Washington- based think-tank, explains that there is a tendency in the United States "to see Soviet politics as basically a 'mirror image' of ours, replete with 'hawks,' 'doves' and other contending factions." The hope that there is a more peaceful faction in the Soviet hierarchy poised and ready to fight for power upon the passing of Brezhnev from the scene is a naive over­ simplification, he notes. In fact, the more plausible possibility is that the new leadership will be even more adventuresome than the Brezhnev clique. The reason, Harrison < ex­ plains, is that "the next leadership team will be the first to achieve power when the Soviet Union is not recognized as militarily inferior to the U n i t e d S t a t e s . . . T h e achievement of strategic parity with the United States has been the outstanding ac­ complishment of the Brezhnev years. This new sense of power might actually encourage expansionist tendencies within the new leadership." However bitter and messy the struggle to succeed Brezhnev turns out to be, we should not assume that this dissention reflects significant policy difference among the competing factions. Rather, it may be little more than a cutthroat power-grab which is characteristic of communist dictatorships during periods of leadership succession. BY JOSKJ'H <<MM> staff psychologist . mm from the Family Service and Mental Health Clinic of McHenry County. (Editor's note: This is another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family service and Community Mental Health staff. This article is "Coping - Control in Marriage.") Many marriages get into serious difficulties when one of the partners has a need, either conscious or unconscious to control most aspects of their spouse's life. Usually, this control takes the form of "I'm only trying to be a part of your life", but the effect can be devastating to the relationship. When one of the partners needs to know where the other person is all the time, or when all decisions must be joint decisions, or when all friends must be mutual friends, then there is an abnormal need to control. The need to completely control another person's life is a symptom of a basic in­ security. It is as if only by keeping complete control over t.he person can the relationship feel safe and secure.

ROUTE 1^0 McHENRY, ILLINOIS at participating Dunkin' Donuts Shops only * I I I I I I I it is this need for control which ultimately destroys the relationship, not strengthens it. Logically, the way to retain a relationship without a need to control is to first recognize the fact that this need to control is indeed a factor. There is the danger of assuming that the need to control is an expression of love. Love does not demand complete control; that is confusing intimacy with dependency, for intimacy makes no demands, only requests; dependency makes no requests, only demands. After the basic recognition of a need to control, the next step is to seek professional help. Breaking this pattern of in-~ security and dependency is not a matter of "self control", because the need to know is in the form of compulsion. While the process of breaking the need for dependency may be painful, the rewards are great indeed. Next: Social Drinking. WHO KNOWS! 1. Name Nicaragua's neighbors. 2.
