NOVEMBER 7.1979 PLA1NDEALER * 100 Years Editorial Pfl& • - j " . 51 j i: I Ago A Look At Illinois In Freedom's Name - * - •« * k .• • \ . • • * ', The art-must-be-unfettered set of film producers the main point in the controversy over what should and should not be allowed on television. The latest controversy only reminds us of the fundamental difference in approach to this question. The current tift involves an effort by a producer to depict incest in a television series. Some of the arty object that broadcasting system listened to common sense voices among station owners - who didn't want this illegality beamed into millions of American sitting rooms. The main point is whether glamorous actors and actresses are to be allowed to glamorize this sort of immorality in living rooms where young people will inevitably view it and be exposed to it for the first time. That i» not desirable and has nothing to do with freedom of anything-except the freedom of money making producers and sensationalists to exploit the public without restraint for profit. The "«r#s" have already been allowed to help teach the , young to smoke, drink and accept illicit sexual relationships and more recently to try drugs. How much further are the money-makers to be allowed to go, under the phony banner of freedom not to be limited in their glamorized exploitation of taboos-for profit? Solar Progress The world's largest"solar collector is nearing completion in Crosby ton, Texas, a town of 2,500 in cotton-growing west Texas. It's a stationary 65-foot bowl of mirrors-first conceived by local citizens and subsequently given support by the Department of Energy. This experiment is of intense interest all over the country. More sophisticated solar collectors are being built and planned elsewhere-moving types which tract the sun. But the collector at Crosbyton is designed to be economical, with the hope that if it works, others like it will immediately be built- to furnish all the town's energy needs. If, indeed, the present 65-foot bowl is successful in operation, the plan is to construct ten larger ones (if federal aid continues). That would make the town self-sufficient, even enable it to sell excess electricity. The ten larger collectors would be 200 feet in diameter, rather than 65. The Texas experiment is unique because it began locally as a town project. The stationary collector is possibly more practical for the average town or city-which seeks power at competitive prices. Results at Crosbyton therefore will said a message to other American communities as to whether solar power is the energy of the future. 100 Extra Jobs What do 100 extra jobs mean to a community? Based on updated research by the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce, a community's estimated personal income increases by $2,440,000 and total annual retail sales rise by $1,451,000. Other estimated increases include $1 million, in bank deposits; 351 more people, 97 more households, 79 more children, 68 more workers and one more retail establishment. ' "Economic expansion is the key to Illinois' future," said ISCC President Lester W. Brann, Jr. "As business and industry grows and prospers, so does every other segment of our population and economy."

It I IN OlS 3850063 GEN. CRANT RETURNS HOME AFTER TWO-YEAR WORLD TOUR Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's return to his home state after a world tour of more than two years provided Illinois, newspapers with their most exciting stories during November, 1879. Thanksgiving, usually the month's big event, was observed only halfheartedly, according to a check of the files of hundred-year-old papers in the Illinois State Historical library. The ex-president's "gaily decorated" special seven- car train left Omaha on Monday, Nov. 3, over the C.B.&Q. route for Burlington, la. Brief stops were made at numerous towns for hand-shaking and a short address. At Council Bluffs, Gen. Grant was greeted by the governor of Iowa; 39 members of the Grand Army of the Republic boarded the train as an escort across the state. There was a five-minute stop at Glenwood where Grant was introduced and greeted with "numerous cheers and tigers," ac­ cording to Springfield's Illinois State Journal; the same story was used by many other papers. "At Red Oak there was another large crowd in waiting." A State senator introduced Grant, who made a brief speech, and "the people cheered and yelled themselves hoarse." Hand-shaking stops were made at Villisca, Creston, Murray, Osceola, and Chariton, where the train was greeted by a band and the town's school children. Arriving at Burlington at 10:30 p.m., the general was met by "a crowd estimated from 7,000 to 10,000. Fire and church bells were clanging, all the steam whistles were sounding and an occasional boom of the artillery added to the noise." Carriages were provided for the party and a procession "proceeded slowly" to the mayor's residence where an informal reception was held and where the Grants spent the night. The next day the general toured the city, stopping at the Hawk Eye office, where he was presented a copy of that morning's (Nov. 4) paper printed on white silk. The visitors boarded the train for Illinois at 5 p.m. The party reached Galesburg about 8 p.m. and a flatcar was pulled up behind the train to serve as a platform from which Grant "made a few remarks." As he was returning to his cary the Chicago Evening Journal reported, "some cowardly copperhead flung an egg which struck him on the side of the head. Of course General Grant was in­ dignant" but the "rebel miscreant" was not caught. The train went on to "Lombardville, a quiet out- of-the-Way country station" where it was sidetracked for the rest of the night. The next morning "the run to Mendota was made in quick time. At Buda a brief halt was made. At Wyanet, Arlington and other stations people were waiting but there was not time to stop for speechifying." After a short stop in Mendota the train arrived at Galena at 3:15 p.m. The procession formed at the station and included the governors of Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin; three bands; numerous military and veterans' units; and judges, congressmen, and ex- congressmen. A speakers' stand had been set up "on Main St., opposite the DeSoto House." Nearby a grand arch, Van immense affair, covered with mot­ toes" spanned the street. The speeches lasted for more than two hours after . i ' r," which Grant ~ "exceedingly tired" - held a brief reception at the DeSoto House and "was quietly dftven to his house" where a dinner for 18 was held. Arriving in Chicago on Nov. 12, Grant was greeted by a parade that took two hours to pass his reviewing station on the Palmer House balcony. While in Chicago the Grants were guests at the home of their son, Col. Frederick D. Grant. During the next Week there were receptions and reunions at Haverly's and McVicker's theaters, the Exposition building, and a number of hotels. The highlight of the visit was the banquet given by the Army of the Tennessee at the Palmer Ho.use where the speeches and toasts lasted until 4 a.m. Friday, Nov. 14. At the close of a night of "Patriotic Sentiments Eloquently Expressed and Loudly Applauded," Mark Twain delivered a speech on "The Babies," which was interrupted by roars of C':" f •• . % laughter and applause and ended with "prolongued and uproarious laughter." At one point he said, "As long as ; you are in your right mind, don't you ever pray for twins. Twins amount to a permanent riot, and there ain't any real difference between triplets and an insurrection." The Grants' departure for Galena on the morning of Nov. 19 had not been publicly {announced arid was very different from their arrival. "The chilly north wind from . off the lake whistled over the depot," and only a few reporters, henchmen, railroad officials, and onlookers were present, t Editor's Quote Book The heart has al­ ways the p£rdohing power.

"On a recent Sunday, when most of the McHenry residents were sleeping, the McHenry Fire district began its planned mini-disaster drill. The planning for this began mariy months ago and followed the guidelines established by the McHenry County Disaster Planning committee. (This committee is composed of fire chiefs, hospital and medical per­ sonnel, rescue squad members and is chaired by the county ESDA office). "The scenario for that day involved a major fire at Modine Manufacturing, with several injured, after an explosion took place and periodically caused some firemen to be taken away from their roles when the evaluators of the drill would tell them that they had just experienced chest pains and simulate a heart attack, or they just breathed some toxic gases. The injuries necessitated the calling in of the McHenry Rescue squad, who upon arrival, called for the assistance of the Johnsburg and Wonder Lake Rescue squads. "The simulated fire necessitated the personnel of al) three fire companies of the McHenry Fire district. In an effort to test the well established Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS) that is in effect for McHenry county and most of nor­ theastern Illinois 'fir£ departments, a radio drill was also initiated. * "The people of McHenry area should be proud that they have such dedicated men and women who gave of their free time to better their community for fire and medical emergencies. As a professional emergency planner charged with the responsibility of coor­ dinating emergencies and disasters in our county, I repeatedly say with pride that we have one of the best prepared areas in the midwest for handling major incidents. "It is always dangerous to cite departments or in- d i v i d u a l s w h e n acknowledging efforts of this type. But we must congratulate the officers of the McHenry Township Fire district for their continuing efforts and give credit to all the firemen of this district who practice on a regular basis, hoping that whatr they are training for will'not be used. Assistant Chief Chris Bennett of the McHenry Fire district, along with Jay Reardon of the McHenry hospital Trauma center and county ESDA staff, devoted numerous work hours in the development for this drill. im THE GAS PUMP You can save gas at the very start of your trip. Give the accelerator one or two pumps -- not five or six -- before you start the engine. Don't start the engine be­ fore you are ready to drive. Adjust seat belt, put pack­ ages away, light cigarette, and be ready to go before you start the engine. Start smoothly, slowly, and you save gas every time. : X ~ ~ ' • • , * v - . V . - Area Nutrition Education Project For 32,000 Pupils "The members of the McHenry Fire district, and McHenry Rescue squad rehearsed several times before the day arrived. In addition to those mentioned, help was also rendered by the Wonder Lake Fire district, McHenry County Sheriff's department, McHenry Police depart­ ment, county ESDA volunteers and victims who came from the EMTs in training at the McHenry Hospital Trauma center. In addition, full participation came from the medical and supporting staffs of McHenry hospital and Memorial hospital, Wood­ stock. Modine Manufac­ turing cooperated by allowing the use of their facilities. "Sleep better, McHenry county residents, for your emergency response per­ sonnel are not only most capable of handling the day to day accidents and medical emergencies involving a few, but are also capable of handling major disasters and emergencies.

Educators from McHenry county recently presented a program highlighting the McHenry County Nutrition Education project for the state regional superin­ tendents meeting held in Champaign recently. Those participating in the presentation include Ed­ ward Hall; McHenry county regional superintendent of schools; Charles Lapp, director of Curriculum iri Crystal Lake District 47; and Ann Dille, nutrition education project director.

The program is designed to touch all 32,000 pupils of the county in 72 public and non-public schools.. The year-long program will link the classroom, school lun­ chroom,. home and com­ munity in an attempt to reach this goal. , Throughout the project, ARE YOU NEW IN McHenry Area?
