J" / I AGE 16 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 4.1961 ------ PLAINDEALER "N Editorial Opinion A Little Mystery The most famous of the farmers' almanacs predicts this will be a heavy-snow winter in the Northeast, Midwest and Rockies. A severe coldwave is supposed to engulf the East and South during the Christmas holidays. For most of the country, however, the prediction is for a mild winter. And that's good news for those watching their heating bills ciosely. How accurate are the farmers' almanacs in weather predictions? But then how accurate are the official forecasts? Regardless, one likes the idea of secret formulas, long­ distance predictions, etc. The mystery in it is juat fine. No Speech Limit The Senate voted recently to remove the limit from honorariums given Senate members for speech-making. In effect, this opens the door to bribery, far seldom is a senator's speech really worth what he likes to think it's worth. The hard fact is that large corporations and other organizations know they are ingratiating themselves with senators (or congressmen) by paying them a good fee to make a speech-which they do free at election time, and at other times. Practically every well-organized and financed lobby group knows of the indirect advantages possible by seeing to it that senators get lush invitations for speech-making. The recent Senate action invalidates, at least in part, lepal reform of a few years back which limited the means by which senators can get rich while in office. For that reason alone, it's a step backward. "Fairness" Doctrine The new chairman of the Federal Communications commission is a hit with station and network owners. He's telling them the federal government has no business enforcing a "fairness" doctrine in political campaigns or in monitoring their transmissions at all. The FCC has also announced it will not impose restrictions mi television ads aimed at children. The new official line is that this would be an impossible task and, second, that it's not the federal government's business. Maybe so. But the key question is whether this idealism about the free enterprise system is practical in the television age. It's argued that stations are in the same boat as newspapers-and the federal government wouldn't dare attempt to regulate them. Not true. Every broadcasting station uses a public airwave monopoly, granted by the people, and thus owes its existence to a federal license-monopoly. Moreover, there are hundreds of major dailies in this country but only three major television networks, all controlled in New York. One-sided news has been a problem with these networks, who collaborate much too closely. What is certain is that the new FCC posture enables the three commercial television networks to exert increasing control over public opinion, and sales, with fewer considerations about fairness, the public welfare, etc. They are freer-to do what to whom?

Respectfully, PETEPM.JUSTEN it V>N FUNERAL HOME McHENKY, ILLINOIS - 3S5-0063 Roll Call Report (Your Congressmen's Vote) WASHINGTON - Here's how area members of Congress were recorded on major roll call votes Oct. 15-21. / HOUSE Tobacco--The House rejected, 184 fen* and 231 against, an amendment to end the federal tobacco program, which consists mainly of price supports for farmers and acreage allotments that limit production and the number of farmers who can grow tobacco. The amendment was offered to HR 3603, the new four-year farm bill that was headed for final passage by the House. Sponsor Bob Shamanskv. D-Ohio, said "this marvelous, successful program has set the price of American tobacco at about...twice the le price on the world market...The original jrogram was made by Lewis Carroll as an lice in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking draft of this appendix to'i Glass.'" Opponent Larry Hopkins, R-Ky., said: "This amendment will not stop smoking...will not stop cancer...It will literally shift the production of tobacco from the small tobacco farmer to the larger corporation." Members voting "yea" wanted to end the federal tobacco program and return tobacco growing to the free market economy. Reps. Robert McClory, R-13, and Lynn Martin, R-16, voted "yea." Sugar--The House killed, 213 for and 190 against, a proposal 'for government price supports for sugar. No such program now exists. Eliminated by the vote was language to guarantee - through a Commodity Credit Corp. loan program - that farmers be paid at least 18 cents a pound for their sugar. If the actual market price falls below 18 cents, the farmer would be excused from repaying the loan and would release his sugar to the government stockpile. If the [rice exceeds 18 cents, the farmer would sell his sugar and repay the loan plus interest. The vote occurred during debate on the new farm bill (see preceding vote). Rep. Margaret Heckler, R-Mass., a supporter of killing the proposal, said that "for every one cent increase in the price of sugar there is an increase in costs to the consumer for sweeteners of between $250 and $300 million." Opponent Ed Jones, D-Tenn., said that without price supports for sugar "we will lose our domestic producers thus putting American consumers at the mercy of foreign producers." Members voting "yea" opposed price supports for sugar growers. McClory and Ms. Martin voted "yea." Mothers-In-Law--By a vote of 305 for and 66 against, the House adopted a resolution (HJ Res 331) setting the fourth Sunday in October as National Mother-in-Law day. Supporter Edward Derwinski, R-Ill., said that "for too long mothers-in-law have been the victims of unfair jokes ana ridicule, whereas they deserve our affection and respect." Opponent Don Pease, D-Ohio, said in an interview that "Congress should have better things to do with its time" than conduct lengthy votes on such measures. He said the 20- minute roll call vote cost House members a total of 145 man- hours. Members voting "yea" wanted to establish National Mother-in-Law Day. McClory and Ms. Martin voted "yea." SENATE Nuclear Spread--The Senate adopted, 51 for and 45 against, an amendment cutting off foreign aid to Pakistan or India if either nation explodes a nuclear device. On a later non-record vote, the Senate extended the denial of foreign aid to any country that does not now have nuclear weapons. This occurred during debate on S 1196, a FY 1982 foreign aid bill headed for final passage and the House. Sponsor John Glenn, D-Ohio, said: "We have had Pakistan give us no assurances that they will not build nuclear explosives. They say they are going ahead. They make no bones about it Opponent James McClure, R-Idaho, said: "The president determine the specific action for specific foreign aid as a policy tool. in his capacity as chief foreign policymaker...must be allowed the flexibility to conditions" when it comes to using I Senators voting "yea" favored foreign aid sanctions to slow the development of nuclear weapons by Pakistan and India. Sen Alan Dixon, D, voted "yea." Sen. Charles Percy, R, voted "nay." Libya--By a vote of 47 for and 44 against, the Senate en­ dorsed the softer of two policies before it for dealing with Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy's support of international terrorism. Adopted by this vote was a request that President Reagan immediately study the possibility of cutting off U.S. imports of Libyan oil, which send $4 billion annually to Libya. Shelved by the vote was a proposal to stop importing Libyan oil within 90 days of enactment of the FY 1982 foreign aid bill (see preceding vote). Sen. Charles Percy, R-Ill., a supporter of study rather than immediate action, said the U.S. should not make such a drastic policy change without working in concert with its allies. Opponent Gary Hart, D-Colo., said: "The issue is clear cut. Are we going to cut off this American financing of Khadafy, or are we going to study the issue?" Most senators voting "nay" favored a unilateral and immediate cut-off of U.S. oil imports from Libya. Dixon and Percy voted "yea". Social Securtty-The Senate killed, 65 for and 30 against, an amendment to shore up Social Security trust funds b: increasing the so-callea "windfall profits" tax that companies pay on newly-discovered oil. Supporters said this would raise about $14 billion through 1990. The vote came consideration of a Social Security bill (HE 4331) later passed and set to conference with the House. Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kans., who favored killing the proposal, said the amendment would begin financing of Social Security out of general Treasury revenues, a major policy change that Congress has never approved. Sen. Thomas Eagleton, D-Mo., sponsor of the amendment, asked: "Do we think adding $14 billion to the already swollen profits of major oil companies is more important that providing a small margin of security for our senior citizens?" Senators voting "nay" wanted certain oil taxes increased with the resulting revenue used to pay Social Security benefits. Dixon and Percy voted "yea." 2! W ARE YOU NEW IN The McHenry Area?

'«•»>* ' Finding Money For College Students who desire to attend college shouldn't be discouraged by rumors about inadequate funds to sustain their educational needs, Congressman Mc­ Clory said this week. A prominent member of the House Education and Labor committee, Congressman Paul Simon of Illinois, has delineated the multiple programs which continue to be available to students seeking a higher education. H.R. 4560, which was passed by the House of Representatives Oct. 6, is sensitive to the current economic conditions but at the same time provides adequate funding for programs geared to helping students from low-income families, according to McClory. The following is a brief programmatic explanation of those provisions of the bill which affect student aid and other programs under the jurisdiction of Post- secondary Education. H.R. 4560 appropriates $2,526 billion for the Pell Grant program and requires the following: ...A maximum grant of $1,800; ... Cost of attendance to be determined by the Secretary of Education. Other student assistance programs are appropriated at current funding levels which are as follows: ...Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants $370,000,000; ... College Work Study - $550,000,000; ... National Direct Student Loans - $286,000,000; ... State Student Incentive Grants - $76,750,000; ... Guaranteed Student Loan Program - The ap­ propriations bill assumes $1,773,846,000 for this program. However, since this is an entitlement program, necessary ad­ justments will be made to cover entitlement costs should the appropriated amount prove to be too low. McClory said specific answers about types of financial assistance should be secured from the Financial Aid office at the school to be attended. That office maintains ap­ plications and eligibility criteria about a number of programs available as well as the individual school's requirements. Another good source of educational assistance in­ formation is the booklet published by the American Legion entitled "Need A Lift?" It is available in most local and high school libraries.

MAIN 385-7600 A man's years should not be counted until he has nothing else to count. --Ralph Waldo Emerson Doctor Talk By Harold B. Ligon, M.D. There's a condition we're seeing a lot of these days that relates to exercise, recreation, and sports. It's called lateral humeral epicondylitis. It involves the humerus bone (the upper arm); it occurs on the side of the end of the upper arm; and it's an inflammatory process. Another name for this condition is "tennis elbow". The ofPcial definition of tennis elbow is "a strain of the lateral forearm muscles near their origin on the lateral epicoridyle of the humerus." Strangely enough, the cause is not from overwork­ ing the elbow-rather, stress­ ful wrfat action brings it on I When there is strenuous and repetitive "out-turning" of the wrist against a resistant force--or when the wrist is extended vigorously while turned in, the muscles in the forearm just below the epicondyle of the humerus (the elbow area) are strained and pulled-and a disabling and crippling misery can occur. Tennis elbow, naturally, can occur with other activity. I've seen it in craftsmen, carpenters, housewives, etc., who do a lot of screwdriving and wringing and woodwork finishing. The same insulting action of the wrist sets this up. ° Despite the debility this condition causes, it's not serious. However, tennis elbow can last 2-4 weeks-and sometimes longer, if re-insulted. Generally, the best treat­ ment is rest and support. A tight support just below the elbow effectively splints the muscle group and protects the area. Sometimes your physician can inject the soft tissue in the area of strain with novocaine or hydro­ cortisone with beneficial re- sults-but practically stub­ born or recurrent cases even require surgery!
