"If you are malting $1 milbon a year, yon ought to at least be able to pay your secretary.. your office rent," he said. Opponent Silvio Conte, R-Mass., told Jacobs that "fighting for the tittle guy, toppling the kingi of our day, makes great press" but overlooks the legitimate expenses faced by Carter, Ford and Nixon as former chiefs of state.

DRINKING- By a vote of SI for and 16 against, the Senate ap­ proved legislation that pressures states to raise their minimum drinking age to 21 years. Staes not complying by 19S7 stand to love five pet cent of their federal highway money if fiacal 1987 and 10 percent in fiacal IMS. The provision was attached to HR 4616, which was headed for the White House and President Reagan's signature. The trill also provides financial incentives to encourage states to enact man­ datory sentencing of drunk drivers. Supporter Robert Byrd, D-W. Va., said the higher diinklug age will "help put an end to the earn ago on our nation's highways." Cahng the legislation "coercion and blackmail by the central government," opponent Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., said '1 believe it to be repugnant to the Constitution, inconsistent with sound prin­ ciples of federalism, and not in the best interests of our country." Senators voting yes wanted states to set 21 as their mi-im--n drinking age. IL.-Dixon did not vote. Percy voted yes. SUBSTITUTE-By a vote of 35 for and 62 against, the Senate rejected an attempt to water-down legislation (above) to bring about a nationwide minimum drinking age of 21 years. The substitute proposed that financial incentives, rather than penalties, be used to encourage compliance by states. And it enabled staes to keep lower drinking ages as well as full federal Lfrry Pressler, R-S.D., who supported the substitute, said th£ use of federal penalties "raiaes serious constitutional questions about states' rights in our federal system." Opponent Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., said adoption of the sub­ stitute would mean "business as usual" on the nation's highways. Senators voting yes wanted to soften legislation to bring about 21 years as the legal drinking age in all states. DL.- Dixon did not vote. Percy voted no.

CX\ Store personnel at fault "Edttor: "Something distur '̂g happened recently at the Eagle here in McHenry. I was in the produce section at - a f•••n the one. Along came two young teenage girls laughing and carrying-on. There alao was a produce clerk working in this section. I don't know what made me notice, but I glanced at the girls and saw them poking their fingers in the cut slices of watermelon. They weren't trying to get a piece of it- just destroy it. I hollared at them to stop, and they laughed at me. I went and told the produce clerk what had happened, and he ignored me! He just kept on working. The girls watched me tell the clerk, and seeing be did nothing, laughed and went out the door, in no big hurry. TUs isnt earth know, but It isnt the first time I've asked an employee of a store to do something shout a crime (the other time I saw couple of young cartons of cigarettes), and nothing was done. These girls will continue to damage merchandise and the boys will continue to steal, because they get away with it Not only that- they saw that the store personnel will do m4b*ng about it.. Who ends up paying for all this but us, the customers. The store wont lose a dime. I resent this. should be done to If the employees choose not to stop crimes in progress, thai why dont all of us walk out with our groceries unpaid for? After all, who's going to stop you?

'<a< n« •« >f$ Having attended "A Taste of Chicago" and the recent fireworks show in Chicago's Grant Park among some 500,000 people, my wife and I ex­ perienced some unexpected delights. R has been several years since we last mixed in a throng of such proportions. We were pleasantly surprised at the orderliness and affirmative demeanor of the crowd. We witnessed no unruliness, a minimum of pushing and shoving, and (wonder of won­ ders) an absence of littering. Invariably, trash carefully was deposited in available con­ tainers. We saw no drunkenness and could identify no "pot" smokers.

People are much neater than they were a few years ago. We saw almost no straggly beards, few torn T- shirts with dumb sayings in­ scribed, and much shortened and trim haircuts among both men and women. If some of this is due to the slick Michael Jackson influence, then go out and buy his records! m endure the incomprehensible beat for some old-fashioned neat, any day. So, put away the bowling shirts. Stash the tavern hlasers. Burn the painters' overalls. Break out the rasors and the hair-cutting shears. The pen­ dulum again may be swinging back to the scrubbed look and elegant clothing styles. Take heed, McHenry. R may be time to start dressing up - even when we go to church.
