PAGE 14 • PLAINDEALER • FRIDAY. AUGUST*, lie . T"™T . • PLAINDEALERTN Editorial r J ; . • Moss Production The United States is the originator of mass production. That technique has made U.S. consumer prices lower than those of any other major hation. But there is still a need for quality products. Wash powder is an example. Wives who know how white clothes get in Scandinavia or Germany often have wash powder from those countries mailed to them in the U.S. Even with additives, clothes washed in most of the popular U,S. wash powders don't get as white. Candy is another example. Consider President Reagan's favorite-jelly beans. While some good ones are available many are of very poor quality. One well-known candy manufacturer in the South produces multi-colored jelly beans which all taste alike! Clothes are another example, and mothers who have bought sweaters, shirts and suits in European countries know how much better tailored many things there are. Toys are another example. Books are another. Compare the quality of pictures and printed pages in German editions of a book originally printed in this country. NO cptttgsl ^ V- , , , .... * t . ^ 4^ The criticism has, in recent years, included U.S.-made automobiles. In this case, quality has improved and is still improving. And that's what we Americans must hope to achieve-the benefits of mass production which have made Americans so fortunate, without too much loss of quality. Advertising Claims Those old enough to have lived through several dozen advertising campaigns by tire makers have heard many claims. For years, until very recently in fact, there was no uniform grading system for U.S. tires. First line meant one thing to one maker and something else to another. The consumer had to sift through much to get the facts-considering regular claims that this or that doubled mileage. The situation is somewhat better today, though government grading may soon be curtailed Also disturbing is the way a few manufacturers still advertise tires today. One major producer sponsors commercials which show small cars moving at great speed on wet and rainy roads, and on snow. Unfortunately, this almost certainly induces young and impressionable people to drive at excessive speed in dangerous circumstances, thinking the tires can hold the car on the road under almost any conditions. They can't. No matter how good modern radials, those who drive at high speed on very wet roads and in snow are risking serious injury or death by accident. Recalling Mills Brothers Somewhat unnoticed recently was the death of Harry Mills. He had sung with the Mills Brothers, one of the best quartets ever heard, which broadcast for 57 years and recorded over 3,000 songs in that span. Any music lover appreciates the debt of all to the Mills Brothers, who began in the great American tradition, from nowhere, and ended on the very top. There was more rhythm, sweetness and melody in listening to the great "ills y popul often terribly nostalgic recordings of the Mills Brothers (or the Ink Spots) than can be found on illy any populj songs, with good lyrics, often sweet and sentimental, a music that was and is practically any popular music album today They sang, for the most pert, good In the beginning, in the Depression Thirties, the Mills Brothers didn't even use musical instruments. Only later did they utilize this advantage. But they were invariably good listening, and their tapes and records are still that today. That's the final verdict on music as good or fad The Mills Brothers are as enjoyable today as they were 40 years ago. Increased Aid For Aging Peg R.

DEAN OF DEANS "Editor: "I was not prompt in getting to Justen's funeral home that Monday evening. I think what I was doing was trying to put off facing the fact that Bill's death was a reality. I still can't believfe it, and know I'll be looking for him in the halls of Johnsburg nigh school in September Even thoufh I saw Bill only once or twice a week in my role at the school, I knew him as one of the most Alive-est men I have known - someone who just can't be dead. 'He's not dead, Matt; he's still alive,' teacher Connie Sanders of the high school consoled me at the wake. "In the morning of July 9, in mid­ summer when we put away thoughts about other people at school, my phone had rung. Assistant Principal Roger Kriewaldt had opened, 'We have some bad news this morning. Bill Haag has died.' And it had felt as if a hole had opened up inside me. The man who had never reached 20 years of age but had developed such an expert style in doing one of the har­ dest jobs in the Johnsburg school district was taken from us. "Deans can be mean. The job can make you that way, and we have gfean it happen elsewhere before. But not with Bill Someone in the district had once said he was a 'big Teddy Bear.' He had carried out his role like Clancy the Cop, the lovable policeman on his* beat, loved and respected as a helper who made sure everybody stayed 'in line,' but not a guy you hated or feared. Maybe you felt that way about him because you never felt that he hated you, no matter what it was that he was chewing you out for With his massive dimensions, rosy cheeks, moustache and sparkling quick eyes, he could have fit the part of one of those cops in the old time movies. You might find yourself inescapably caught' in your wrongdoing by this shrewd dean, but you would never feel that he did not respect and understand you as a fellow human being. "I don't think you can find a single person at Johnsburg high school who regarded Bill as an enemy. Rick Klein, just graduated from JHS, was at the wake, sitting and staring toward the coffin. 'He helped me out • a lot - last year, through some real rough times.' That such warmth of heart could exist along with such shrewdness of perception was a little miracle for JHS. I remember sitting in Bill's office one day as he teased out the truth in the case of a bad check cashed in the learning center. The boy in the office was denying any notion of the check's being written on an I.S.F. account, but Bill had a strong suspicion that the boy had known the whole story. Like a genius police detective. Bill almost simultaneously was speaking directly with the boy, making inquiries on the telephone, and thinking out loud as he deduced the truth. And all through the 'crime detection' process he gave no hint of being a vengeful adolescent-hater, but rather the impression that he waa a very quick young adult who was just a step ahead of the machinations of a scheme. It was like watching the old Columbo' detective series without the raincoat and the cigar. "We can remember an opening- days institute in the tail-end of summer, 1200, when Bill related his plans for supervising an in-school suspension room. 'Now, I don't want to make it like a prison in there,' began the dean, holding us momen­ tarily in suapenee when he paused. 'I want to make it almost like a prison!' with a straight face he broke up his audience into laughter. "Dr. Andreas nad questioned me once during the previous year, Bill's first as the full-time dean. 'How's Bill Haag working out at the high school? was probably a rhetorical question, for he quickly followed with his own answer: 'Yea, I think he's working out fine.' "How was Bill working out? Well, Bill was like the Spirit of Johnsburg all condensed and wrapped up in one Not all of us had known Bill but it was doubtless that 'work out.' And much more than that. Bill had been a kid from town himself, and the attachment had neither worn off nor lost its vitality. "Principal Rob Gough had worked with Bill for four years at JHS. Rob reflected, 'Bill was ready to stay at Johnsburg for the next 30 years.' And his words reminded me of thoee of teacher Jenny Perkins, who two days earlier related to me that Bill had once affirmed with conviction that even if his role as dean had to be changed or eliminated, he would be happy to stay on even as a floor- at JHS. SENATE rejected, 32 for and 56 against, an to Pixjuirc _ the West - those above 280 acres - to pay the hill coat of tor they receive from federal reclamation projects. Addttknatty, farms of 330 to tiO acres were to have paid more than they now nay for the water, although not fall cost The vote occurred during debate on a bill (S1227) to legalise the current practice of large farms getting subaktied reclamation water. The 1202 Reclamation Act limita eligibility to farms of acres, but the limit historically has been ignored by the Interior Aa later passed and sent to conference with the house, S1227 limits subsidised water to farms of lass than 1,230 acres. Sen William Proacmire, D-Wis., a sponsor of the amendment, said the provision of low-cost irrigation water to large farms in 17 western states amounts to "wholly unjustified subsidies for rich landowners." Opponent Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., said "our friends from the water- wealthy Eaat want to deny water to the water-poor West..the Weet has lots and lota of land and no water to meet future food needs." Senators voting "nay" wanted weetern farms of more than 220 acres to continue to receive federal Irrigation water from reclamation projects at taxpayer-subsidized rates. y Sen. Alan Dixon, D, voted "yea." Sen. Charles Percy, R, voted "nay." Reagaa--lies By a vote of 45 for and 54 against, the Senate rejected an amendment to exdude thoee earning 272,700 or more from the third installment of the Administration's three-year cut in personal income taxes. Additionally, incomes between 242,500 and 172.700 would have received less than the 10 percent cut in ratea due to take effect next July 1. Revenue generated by this Democratic-sponsored amendment waa to have been used for Medicare and'to avert planned hikes in the federal unemployment tax, the telephone excise tax, and other taxes that would be raised In the major revenue bill now before Congress. The bill (HR 4981) was headed for final passage. Supporter Robert ByrcL D-W. Va., said "this is a true middl*class relief amendment that says the middle class is staggering under an already unbearable burden of taxation and we should not addto that now." Opponent Robert Dole, R-Kan., said "the hill third-year tax cut la a promise made to the American working people that must be kept." Senators voting "nay" weanted to preserve the full third-year tax cut for salaries of 246,500 and above and to raise needed revenue by increasing other taxes. Dixon voted "yea." Percy voted "nay." % person. Not i | Hang before, he would 'wo HOW TO FIND NEW VARIETIES Everyone in the home garden seed trade wishes they could im­ prove the availability of new varieties. Each year dozens of truly new and good flowers and vegetables are introduced. You will find a few of them in seed displays in retail stores. Progressive growers who specialize in the newest and will offer seec planta. But it down to seed catalogs ss the most dependable source of new varieties. Catalogs offer what s e e d s m e n c a l l "proprietary varieties", sold ex­ clusively by one com­ pany. In addition, almost all seed catalogs will offer the new All- America Selections, varieties of flowers and vegetables selected as the best in each class. It is quite an ac­ complishment to have 52 strong-minded ex­ perts agree on each year's crop of all- America Selections. This is not s com­ mercial scam but a sincere program to help your garden. 9CUU1ZC d beat "Some kind of monument will have to be established for Bill Haag at Johnsburg high school, because the very special work of Bill Haag did so much to get JHS established. He will never be forgotten, but will live on as s legend in the history of the pioneer days at Johnsburg high.
