Roll Call Report (Your Congressmen's Vote) Here's how area Members of Congress were recorded on- major roll call votes Oct. 18 through Oct. 24 HOUSE Sugar BW-By a vote of 158 for ai)d 249 against, the House rejected a bill to protect the domestic sugar-industry against competition from lower-priced imported sugar. Hie bill (HR 2172) would have provided higher prices for U.S. sugar and duties on imported sugar. It also would have allowed direct federal subsidies to U.S. growers and processors of up to $50,000 per year. Rep. A1 Ullman, D-Ore., a supporter, said the U.S. sugar industry is "going down the drain if we do not do something to stabilize prices." Rep. Thomas Downey, D-N.Y., an opponent, said the U.S. cannot maintain its current sugar industry "without a big raid on the Treasury." Members ̂ voting "yea" favored bolstering the domestic sugar industry with higher prices. Rep. lifebf "Tic1 R-18, voted "yea." . Rep. Robe lory, R-13, voted "nay* » Rep. John Anu^rson, R-16, did not vote. Gasoline Prices--The House rejected, 189 for and 225 against, an amendment to remove government controls from the price of gasoline and do away with the government-run allocation of g* upplies. Federal price controls, in effect since 1973, are uue to be phased out by the end of 1981. This amendment would have immediately removed them and let the oil companies and the marketplace set the price. It was proposed to HR 3000, a Department of Energy bill passed and sent to the Senate. Rep. James Courter, R-N.J., the sponsor, said that by doing away with allocation his amendment would avert future gas lines. Since controls are to be eventually removed, he added, "we might as well do it now when we have a situation where inventories are up and consumption is low." Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., an opponent, reminded the House that "our oil companies are making outstanding profits at this time," and added that the president should retain authority to control prices in order to protect consumers -against the pricing conscqucuccs any future cut-off of Middle Eastern oil.* _ f j ; Members voting "yea" wanted to immediately remove controls from gasoline prices. McClory, voted "yea." Anderson did not vote. "• Is There An Oil Shortage?--The House adopted, 264 for and 143 against, an amendment requiring the Department of Energy to publish, monthly reports on the major oil companies' supplies of crude and refined oil. The amendment was attached to HR 3000 (see previous vote). Rep. Peter Peyser, D-N.Y., the sponsor, said the amendment strikes at the "very heart of every problem we are facing in this country on the oil"Crisis." lie contended that people "have not believed the condition that exists in the <41 industry" because the American Petroleum institute, an industry trade association, provides the data on oil supplies. Rep. Clarence Miller, R-Ohio, an opponent, said "This amendment will drive the price of the refined products even higher....The cost to the consumer through the price of higher oil products due to these reports greatly outweighs the benefits derived from obtaining these statistics." Members voting "yea" wanted the government to publish the oil data. McClory, voted "nay.". * Anderson did not vote. ' - • ' • t . . - . • * ' SENATE Special Ambassador--The Senate confirmed, 48 for and 35 against, the nomination of forma* Rep. Robert Krueger, D- Tex., to the new post of ambassador at large and coordinator of Mexican Affairs. At issue was not Krueger but the precedent of creating a second ambassadorial post to deal with a single country. Some senators speculated that the appointment was intended to circumvent U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Patrick Lucey, who later resigned. Sen. Alan Cranston, D-Cal., who supported the nomination, said a special coordinator is needed to insure that U.S.­ Mexican problems are not "buried in the bureaucratic maze and left to simmer." Sen. Richard Luga / R-Ind., an opponent, said Mexican officials suspect the move is President Carter's method of "working out a personnel problem in his administration." Senators voting "yea" favored Krueger's appointment. Sen. Charles Percy, R, voted "yea." Sen. Adlai Stevenson, D, did not vote. " HutfKel--The Senate .ipproved, «4 for and 19 against, a v $1.4 billion District of (*<>luitil>i«i budget for the fiscal year which began Oct. 1. The budget is drafted by D.C. Mayor Marion Barry and refined by House and Senate committees. Themajority of the budget is raised by D.C. through taxation. About $238 million is the "federal payment" to the captial city. The main issue during floor debate was tough anti- abortion language which the House had attached to the bill. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., a supporter, said: "I can understand the frustration of Mayor Barry. He is trying to do a job, a good job, for his city" and does not like "seeing theSe budgets held up time after time on abortion language." Sen. Lowell Weicker, R-Conn., an opponent, said that polls Show abortion funding is not among the top 20 concerns of the American public. "The issue is the greatest non-issue in the country today," he said, "although it is not a non-issue in the Senate and in the House." Senators voting "nay" either were liberals who disliked the tough anti-abortion language or conservatives unsympathetic toward D.C. " ^ • Percy voted "yea." Stevenson did not Vote. Fire Funds--By a vote of 38 for and 55 against, the Senate blocked a proposed 50 percent cut in funds for rural fire protection grants. This votekiUed a motion in favor of the cut. The amendment was offered to an Interior department trtmey bill (HR 4930) that was passed and sent to conference with the House. As passed by the Senate, the program provides $30 million annually to the states for grants to benefit rural fire departments. Sen. Walter Huddleston, D-Ky., who favored the cut, said senators cannot restrain federal spending if they support "every budget increase that happens to be popular." Sen. Donald Steward, D-Ala., an opponent of killing the budget increase, said many states cannot afford adequate fire protection without the federal aid. Senators voting "yea" favored reducing the fire protection outlays. Stevenson voted "yea." Percy did not vote. I'AliK H IM.AINDKAI.KIt • WKDNKSIlAV.

Elgin and Crystal Lake THOUGHT FOR FOOD By GOULD CROOK Keep on hand a large shaker containing Mparts salt and 1 part pepper -- it's a quick and handy seasoning while cooking. Remember that a pinch of salt will help cream to whip easily and rapidly. Another hint to remember -- Add a small amount of left­ over corn to pancake batter -- the flavor is good and different. If you're making custard -- don't add the salt until the milk is heated to avoid curdling. Bananos will not turn dark if they are dipped in lemon juice right after peeling and the lemon adds a nice flavor as well. Do apples the same way. HOLIDAYS ARE FOR PEOPLE Now that the storm win­ dows are washed and in place and leaves are being raked, it's time for planning holiday decorations and menus. Holiday entertaining means planning for people, loo. While most homes are safe places for their owners during the year, they may not be safe for the toddlers or older folks who visit at holiday time. It's a time when children are excited and overactive, and even careful parents become lax about watching youngsters in the spirit of holiday visiting. A toddler falling against a sharp-cornered coffee table may be a painful memory for everyone. A waxed and polished floor \<' rts ex­ cellent housekeeping, but becomes a real hazard to s t o c k i n g - f e e t e d , a c t i v e children or unsteady ol?v McHENRY HEARING AID SERVICE CENTER Every Wednesday 10 to 5 p.m. SENIOR CITIZEN DISCOUNT CENTER BATTERIES • 50% DISCOUNT Hearing Tests - Repairs & Sales All Makes - All in thje Ear Models 25 YEARS EXPERIENCE Robert Stensland & Associates 3937 W.

Thanks to childproof caps* for drugs and home cleaning p r o d u c t s ! c h i l d h o o d poisoning is down 30 per- cenvV^but there are still dangerotfi^ltems without childproof caps. A home without children in it most of the year may be the one where drugs are left on nighstands or kitchen counters, sometimes un­ covered for easy access. The detergents, bowl cleaners, spray cans and toilet articles placed in readily accessible places are a lure to curious children. Dangling coffee urn cords have resulted in disfiguring scalds. Young mothers remember that pot handles on the stove must be turned inward and sharp knives must be stored immediately, after children grow up se safety measures are oiten forgotten. Thoughtfulness counts in holiday entertaining, too. If a buffet dinner is served, will someone remember that Uncle John is shaky and may need help with his plate& If there are steps to climb, has a family teen-ager been primed to assist Uncle John? While no one likes to think of dieting at holiday feasts, a tray of low-calorie relishes (prepared in advance) may spell gracious entertaining. Guests on a doctor-ordered diet will be most ap­ preciative, but others may welcome an alternative to all the rich food, too. People are what make holidays fun, so it's im­ portant to make holidays fun for people. = CHAPEL HILL GOLF CLUB presents FREE GOLF! w/thisad.
