PAGE 2- PLAINPEAL.ER TUESDAY, NQ\jb.MttfcK ZZ. 1M* News and Views Roll Call: REJECT PLAN TO CUT DAIRY GOODS 1933 prices bring turkey to table for small cost Maybe it's the recollection of a sleigh apd the poem, only a few words of which we ̂ "to grandmother's house we go" that evoke a fait of nostalgia at lying HmA To fih4 out just how the day a half century age we dehred into the microfilm files of the 1983 Plaindealer. Entertainment could be found at the McHenry theatre. We found that this was the heyday of Mae West and Cary Grant, who were starring in "I'm No Angel". It wouldn't get a second look from the censors today, but probably was a source of comment 50 years ago. Dumpkin pie' for the family gathering. This didn't hurt the pockecSMt much al Royal Blue Store, where two large p ublic t i l ilse And the late Jean Harlow was wowing them in another nearby theatre in "Bombshell'. Besides these stellar at- at the rinwna, there were others in the grocery store. Smith Brothers on Green Street were feabving pure lard that "will make that crisp brown pie crust and cake like mother used to make". And doesn't it make you drool to think of the prices advertised at the Northland Market in West McHenry? Pork loin roast sold for IS cents a pound, leg of veal for 14 cents, and hamburger was a good buy at 2 lbs. for 20 cents. Of course, there had to be could be purchased for just 47 cents. Louis Erickson, who was in charge of the general store at the corner of Main and Front Streets, on the northeast corner, was selling cranberries for 216s. for 23 cents. Of course, then as now, you cant cook a good dinner without good cooking utensils That's what Wm. H. Althoff was telling the reading public as he ad- vetised large enameled roasters for just |1.98 and stainless paring knives for 10 cents each. For the man of the family who wanted to look his best, new fall suits and overcoats at Freund Clothing Store on Main Street went for anywhere from $15 to 925. We found it interesting to read of the celebration ni«iw»H at Nell's Miniature Ballroom just east of the city. It was all in honor of Repeal Day, no doubt referrag to the reapeal of the Prohibition Act. A duck supper was sold there for only 50 rent* and there was beer for 5 cents a stein. The prices were enticing, but there were a few bits of in­ formation these ad­ vertisements failed to note.lhe Red Cross was facing "another hard winter" and a new program was launched to provide 673 county men with work. Therevis much for us to be thankfulvfor this year, and it would be good if each of us remembered the blessings are ar*» o"rs Rideshanng bill approved The Illinois Senate recently completed final action on a bill that authorizes "for-profit" ridesharing. State Rep. Jill Zwfek (R-East Dundee) sponsored the legislation, House Bill 1683, which will become law on Jan. 1. Under HB 1683's provisions, the operators of commuter vans, cars and Station wagons will be allowed to: -Charge passengers a fee in excess of amnint required to reimburse the operator for travel e expenses. -Carry between nine and 15 passengers on a schedule limited to two trips per day. -Take passengers between their homes and workplaces twice-a-day. ™ WASHINGTON - Here's how area members of recorded on major roll call votes Nov. 3-9. HOUSE MILK-The House rejected, 174 for and 250 against, a plan to cot **dairy surpluses by sharply loaering the price supports that encourage milk production, The Administration favored the plan and the dairy lobby opposed it. This was the key amendment as the House debated a bill (HR 4198) aimed at lowering dairy sufcsidiee that cost taxpayers $2.6 billion last year. Also, the measure sought to block creation of a "paid diversion" program that would allow dairy farmers, for the first time, to receive government payments for milk they do not produce. This vote left intact a proposal that would curb overproduction chiefly by the new approach of paying farmers not to mflk their cows. The rejected plan sought to lower the federal support price by 11 percent. As later passed and sent to conference with the Senate, HR 4196 lowered by four percent the current support level of $13.10 per' hundred pounds. Sponsor Barber Conable, R-N.Y., said bis plan was the better solution and that "paying farmers not to prodnce is the wrong way to go on farm programs." Opponent James Jeffords, R-Vt, said that under the plan 'there are 30,000 family farms...which are going to be put out of business." Members voting yes viewed sharply lowered price supports as a better way to attack dairy surpluses than paid-diversion. Illinois-Voting yes: FMip Crane, R-12. CARS-By a vole of 219 for and 198 against, the House passed a bill to require that beginning in 1965 foreign cars sold in America be built with siiwtantial U.S. parts and labor. Aimed at Japanese auto makers, the bill requires up to 90 percent "domestic content" for foreign companies selling more than 900,000 cars here, and sets lower requirements for those with fewer sales. Written by the United Auto Workers, the bin (HR 1234) by the Aiiminharpti$fi as protectionism that retaliation against U.S. exports. It was sent to the Senate. Supporter Richard Ottiî er, D-N.Y., called the bill "absolutely vital to preserving the industrial base of the U.S." Opponent William Dannemeyer, R-Calif., said the bfll should be titled the "United Auto Workers Wage Defferential Protection and Anti-Auto Consumer Act of 1983." Members voting yes favored the bffl. Illinois-voting no: Philip Qrane. RIGHTS PANELr-By a vote of 170 for and 235 against, the House killed an $11.9 million appropriation to fond the U.S. Civil Rights Commission in fiscal 1984. The vote occuiied daring debate on HR 3222, later sent to the Senate. This was a victory for Hberals who said they would rather have no amission than one revamped by President Reagan. At issue was the president's replacement of a majority of the six commissioners with individuals more in tune with his idea of how the panel should perform its watchdog mission over government civil rights policies. George Gekas, R-Pa., who voted to fund the panel, said it was wrong to destroy a valuable commission "as a way of getting back at Ronald Reagan...." Ron Coleman, D-Tex., who voted no, said that to keep the commission in existence would be to "endorse the president's JgSSŜ DIRECTORY JACK WALSH. AGENT EARL R. WALSH.

DEFICIT-The House adopted/254 for and 155 against, a Democratic amendment to spend an additional $997 million for a variety of social programs in fiscal 1984. The money was added to an appropriations measure OBJ Res 408) to keep the government going sifter twisting funding authority eipired Nov. 11. Dosens of members who voted for the extra money later voted against the overall measure and caned its defeat. They contended the bfll had become too expensive at a time of $200 billion annual deficits and said they were sending the Democratic leaderehfr jhe message that a tax hike is nofdcul "This is called having it both ways," one supporter of the leadership com pis toed. Supporter Edward Feighan, POhio, said "the cost of this amendmenl becomes miniscule" when compared to the defense Opponent Robert Michel, R41L, said the House has "sll too routinely spproved amendments such as this over the years which have built bflljons and billions into the system." ̂ , Memhers voting yes favored an extra $897 in social spending, thrwigh many of them later reversed themselves and opposed the 'overall measure as too expensive. Illinois-Voting no: Phflip Crane SENATE NERVE GAS-The Senate voted, 47 for and 48 against, to UA production of nerve gM weaponry. Vice President Bush cast the tie-breaker. The vote occuiied during debate on a $283 billion military approbations biD for fiscal 1984. The U.S. stopped making nerve gas in 1908 in keeping with an international treaty against ilHsnhal warfare. The bfll (HR 4185) sent to conference with the House, which is oppossd to the Supporter John Warner, R-Vs., said the U S. "must avoid the first use of these weapons, but we must have a deterrent" to neutralise the Soviets' nerve gss capability. Opponent David Pryor, D-Ark., said nerve gas "is of no military value to this country and wffl not deter the Soviet Union...from irtiliiang nerve gas or from producing nerve gas." Senators voting yes wanted to replenish the US. nerve gas arsenal. Illinois-Alan Dixon, D,voted yes. Charles Percy, R, voted no. MX-By a vote of 37 for and Blagakist, the Senate refused to delete $2.1 billion earmarked for starting production of the MX missile. This occiaied during debate on HR 4188 (above). , Because the House alao approved production money, the vote ended yean of cohgressional diesgreement over whether the MX Aould be built as the next generation land based missile. T1>e MX is to he housed in Mhmtemanm silos in Wyoming and Nebraska. John Glenn, D-Ohio, who voted to delete the MX outlay, said that because the MX cannot be securely based it "presents possibly insoluble problems in attempting to carry/out its missWrof survival Strwf WM Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, a suppotlet of the MX, said "the overaU U.S. strategic forces in the (land, air, sea) triad compare favorably with the Soviet strategic forces if we have the MX." Senators voting yes were opppooul to the MX missile. minois-Dixon did not vote. Percy voted no. -Pick up only people who have agreed to take part in the ridesharing arrangement prior to arriving at the pickup point -In addition, operators must have a safe driving record, carry the proper insurance and be of legal driving age under Illinois law.
