PAGE 18 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, JULY 1$, 1961 / PLA1NDEALER Editorial Opinion If the sky is clear, a partial lunar eclipse which, at its height, will darken a little more than half the surface of the full moon, will be visible beginning at about 10,30 Thursday night, July 16, and ending at about 1 Friday morning. The eclipse e0ti be observed with the unaided eye or with binoculars. Usually at full moon, the moon passes above or below the earth's shadow. Two weeks later, on July 30, it will be new moon and the moon will be in an exact line to cast its shadow onto the earth, causing a solar eclipse. The first phase of Thur sday night's eclipse will begin at 9:05 p.m., central daylight time. During this first phase it will be very difficult to detect any change in the appearance of the moon, but as the eclipse progresses there will begin to be a very slight darkening on the southeast part of the moon. By 10:25 p.m., the darkening will be more noticeable and by 11:47 p.m., at the height of the eclipse, the lower half of the moon will be covered with a dark shadow.

Be Kind To Your Dog We understand you meant to be kind in taking your dog with you today, but you could be risking his life. On a hot summer day the inside of a car heats very quickly. On an 85 degree day, for example, the temperature inside your car-with the windows slightly opened-will reach 102 degrees in 10 minutes. In 30 minutes it will go up to 120 degrees. On warmer days it will go even higher. A dog's normal body temperature is 101.5 to 102.2 degrees Fahrenheit A dog can withstand a body temperature of 107-108 degrees Fahrenheit for only a very short time before suffering irreparable brain damage-or even death. The closed car interferes with the dog's normal cooling process, that is, evaporation through panting. If your dog is overcome by heat exhaustion, you can give immediate first aid by immersing him or her in cold water until body temperature is lowered.

Respectfully, PETER M.JUSTEN & SON FUNERAL HOME U.S. Ignorance A recent Gallup Poll showed that teenage Americans are shockingly ignorant about American government. Asked five rather simple questions about Congress, the branches of government, naming the number of U.S. Senators (100), naming the number of Representatives (435), and naming their district's House member and the state's two senators. In an age when teenagers are introduced to every sort of moral behavior and drug very early in life, it's a sad commentary on the American educational system that today's teenagers know so little about American government. Likewise, many get much of their idea about American history from distorted, commercial television. These are the people who will be running the nation and passing its laws a generation hence! Ice Cream Findings The June issue of Consumer Reports contained a report on ice cream, how good it is, how many calories it contains, and which brands are the best. One of the findings was that, like grandmother knew, the best ice cream is made with cream. Another is that ice cream is not all that loaded with calories after all, and that as a dessert, it's nutritious and not as fattening as many other desserts. (Two scoops contain on the average of only 140 calories. A slice of cake can contain almost 400 calories.) Those who must watch their butterfat intake, of course, should be restrained in their consumption of ice cream but ice cream is high in calcium and other nutrients and low in sodium. The Report notes that the law today requires ingredients to be listed on containers, plus the method of flavoring, of which there are three. The first category is the name of the flavor, such as Vanilla. That's natural flavoring. The next (called Category II) is "Vanilla-flavored." (That's a mixture of natural and artificial flavoring.) The third category, usually for cheaper supermarket brands is "Artificially flavored,' Interestingly, CU's tasters, when comparing their tastes to those of the expert tasters, preferred a brand which the experts rated very good but lower than some other brands. But, of course, the best ice cream of all is home-churned-and this is the season to use fresh fruit to make it irresistible. Hot Weather Hints In case severe hot weather worries readers of this newspaper who fear sunstroke (or heat prostration), we call attention to the symptoms. Sunstroke offers ample warning-including headache, nausea and a dry skin. Heat prostration cautions us with a pallor, a feeble heart action and subnormal temperature. Over-exertion in hot weather is dangerous, as is over eating. Excess sugar and fat should be avoided. Cool water, not iced, is recommended, as are light clothes and frequent baths. Partial Moon Eclipse Roll Call Report (Your Congressmen's.. Vote I Washington - Here's how area members of Congress were recorded on major roll call votes prior to the July 4th recess. HOUSE The Reagan Budget--The House voted, 217 for and 211 agairnt, to follow GOP marching orders that will cause the most fundamental change of the federal government since World War II. Once the House and Senate agree on final wording, the "budget reconciliation" measure (HR 3962) will inflict at least $35 Dillion worth of FY 1962 cuts in some 250 federal programs, with defense spending the only major area left uncut. The measure is revolutionary because it forces permanent changes in scores of laws - a rewrite that the 100-plus congressional subcommittees and committees could not have accomplished on their own. The Democratic alternative killed by this vote also would have saved tens of billions in FY 1962, but it stopped short of major changes in enabling legislation. Supporter Delbert Latta, R-Ohio, said "the spending of the federal government is out of control" and noted that the $100 billion annual budget threshhold crossed in the Kennedy Administration has risen to $695 billion today. Opponent Jim Wright, D-Tex., said the GOP plan will "cause egregious injuries to many millions of innocent Americans wno have nobody to stand between them and those injuries except the members of this house." Members voting "yea" favored the GOP rather than the Democratic attack on runaway federal spending. Reps. Robert McClory, R-13, and Lynn Martin, R-16, voted "yea." SENATE Budget Cuts--By a vote of 80 for and 15 against, the Senate passed its version of the budget reconciliation measure (see House vote above). The bill (S 1377), sent to conference with the House, mandates $39.6 billion in FY 1982 spending cuts as well as reductions for other fiscal years. Reconciliation is an interim disciplinary step between last May's enactment of the FY 1982 buaget blueprint and upcoming action on specific spending bills. Supporter Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., said the bill "will cut in half the rate at which federal spending has been. the moon will remain bright during the eclipse, but not as bright as the usual full moon. After this time, the moon will begin to move out of the earth's shadow and will gradually return to its normal brightness. It will appear to be completely out of the shadow by 1:09 a.m., but actually the eclipse will last until 2:28 a.m. It is difficult to see the very beginning and end of a lunar eclipse because the earth's shadow has two parts.

"Editor: "This letter is in reference to the McCullom Lake news column of July 8, Wednesday Plaindealer. "I don't know why Mrs. Miller decided to single out the beauty shops of Mc Cullom Lake but since I am an owner of one I feel I must comment. "I, too, see speeders passing my place at all hours of the day and night, even after midnight. But they are not coming to the beauty shop. "Perhaps Mrs. Miller is referring to one isolated case; however, her com ment implies that the speeders are coming to the beauty shops. "The column cannot be used to advertise business, therefore, it should not be used to give the business u n w a r r a n t e d b a d reputations. "It would have been better for Mrs. Miller to just remind drivers to please drive slowly and watch out for the children and to remind parents that the streets are not playgrounds and to watch out for their children.

CALL LORRAINE MONAHAN 385-5475 » Mm WHUMt X Children -Pay Third Of School Lunches Last year children paid only about a third of the actual cost of their school lunches, according to a report released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The report showed that school lunches cost local school food authorities between $1.36 and $1.66 to prepare, depending on the type of kitchen facility in which the meals are prepared. Data from the spring of 1960 showed that children nationwide paid an average of 56 cents for the lunch at school. Roughly half of the meal costs go for food, according to the report, and 34 to 40 percent of costs pay for labor. To come up with the nationwide data Congress wanted, USDA conducted three major studies: 1) an assessment „ of the costs required to prepare school meals, 2) a study of the ef fects of nutrition education in-several states, and 3) an evaluation of the nutritional impact of USDA's school- based programs, which will not be completed until January, 1982. The nationwide studies gathered data from a total of over 2000 school districts. A more complete treat ment of the issues of nutritional impact, income and family composition of participants, targeting of benefits and impact on the agricultural economy, all based on recently completed and ongoing nationally representative studies, will be reported later this year. while providing for "real growth in spending fdr national defense, thereby reversing a dangerous decline in that area." Opponent Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said that while Americans "want better economy in government" they do not want "massive reductions in income security and retirement programs...a lowering of minimum standards for health care, for shelter, and for feeding programs...for education and job training assistance, for transportation systems, for help to the handicapped and the elderly, and for energy and economic development programs." Senators voting "yea" supported the GOP-authored budget- cutting plan. Sens. Alan Dixon, D, and Charles Percy, R, voted "yea." 'Waste and Abuse--By a vote of 44 for and 52 against, the Senate rejected an amendment to require deeper FY 1982 cuts in what federal agencies can spend on travel and consultants' fees. The pending bill (S 1377, see preceding vote) already contained cuts of $550 million for travel and $500 million in outlays for consultants. This amendment sought additional cuts of $200 million and $500 million respectively. Sponsor Dennis DeConcini, D-Ariz., said "the only sure-fire way I know to make a dent in the waste and abuse in both travel and consultant services is to cut these funds and cut them sharply." Senators voting "nay" opposed still deeper FY 1982 cuts in travel and consultants' outlays. Dixon voted "yea." Percy voted "nay."
