' . . . - i£ t y f r' •': v" g v :,- ••• -• .-•? .. . . . PG. 4, - PLAINDEALER - WED., OCT., 30, 1968 That Little Want Ad Nearly two billion dollars will be spent on classified advertising in newspapers in the United States in 1968. This will pay for approximately a billion individual Want Ads. Thus, the oldest form of mass communications remains most important in terms of service and commercial significance. > ' Although "Want Ads" are often regarded as little advertisements, they are anything but little in total impact. They are far more than the carriers of personal messages and offers of second-hand bargains. _ , Buying decisions which affect the lives of families and whole communities can be traced to classified advertising. Hie purchase of a home is the most serious financial step a family is likely to make. Yet, realtors report that 90percent of the homes in America are boughtthrough contacts established in newspaper classified advertising. The turn-over of used cars, which involves the second most important purchase of many families, is conducted largely through classified advertising. Or, perhaps more important than homes and automobiles, is a job which was obtained through " Help Wanted" advertising. No other medium or agency can serve so effectively to keep the nation's employment needs in balance. Thus, however, small in size, the newspaper Want Ad solves some of the biggest problems of people and business. Give Bond Support The Taxpayers' Federation of Illinois has announced support of the new Resources Development Bond Act, passed by the General Assembly in July of this year. Federation policy was determined by a joint meeting of the Executive and Advisory committees. The new Act provides for the submission to the voters at the general election in November a proposition calling for a $1 billion bond issue for water and air pollution control and other purposes. The Legislature, at its continued session in July, passed an Act to replace the bill passed in 1967 because of objections to it, and the new bill clarifies and removes most of the Federation's objections to the prior legislation. Material changes in the new legislation are: (1) The Illinois General Assembly is granted broad and final control to coordinate and authorize the spending of the bond issue proceeds with other state spending so that the bond retirement payments (for principal and interest) will be included in general state fiscal planning. No specific definite amounts are spelled out that have to be spent for the various purposes, such as for water pollution, air pollu- . tion, water supply and recreation. (2) The General Assembly is given the final authority on establishing priorities and determining when and if and for what projects such bond proceeds shall be spent. This allows the Legislature to delay or even to abandon lower priority projects. (3) Loans to private companies or coporations are elimtinated. a (4) The > inter est' rate on the bonds is raised from a maximum of 4-percent«to a maximum of 5 percentto make the bonds "marketable. (5) Taxpayers are given the opportunity to make their ^opinions known and to take an active part in the determination of priorities and the amount of money to be spent on each project. (6) Constitutional objections to the prior legislation are eliminated in the new Act. A Day To Celebrate Anniversaries come and goand so many "Days" celebrate so many events, causes and organizations that a measure of confusion is bound to crop up in the best-kept calendar. One day, every year, stands out in October, however, with such clarity that it is very difficult to forget. That day is the last day of the month -- Oct. 31, Halloweenof course, but much more than that since it has officially become National UNICEF Day, by Presidential proclamation. The new designation means that this is not only a festive occasion for our own boys and girls, as they dress up and ring doorbells in the traditional fun of Trick or Treat, but also for millions of other, less fortunate children around the world. In our midst, the ancient custom has remained unchanged; \ nowadays, however, it results in a rich harvest of small coins which means help and hope in faraway lands where hunger and disease distort small features into uglier masks than those worn by our children. Through UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund, more is being accomplished than the following figures can show: * More than 37 million children have been saved from the blindness of trachoma with UNICEF's aid, nearly 4.7 million of them in 1967: *More than 5,700 have been assisted in establishing gardens in UNICEFs nutrition program; *More than 9,600 main health centers and some 27,000 subsidiary health centers have been equipped by UNICEF. To be complete such a list would have to include such impressive accomplishments in the areas of disease control, education, training and mother and child welfare. The spirit of selfless generosity which stimulates our young Trick or Treaters makes many of UNICEF's accomplishments possible. In a world and time where financial values are shrinking, UNICEF continues to provide many times the money's worth for every contribution it receives. In proclaiming an official UNICEF Day, President Johnson recognized the vital work being done by this great agency. UNICEF, true to its pledge, continues to spearhead the global crusade against hunger, misery, illness andilliteracy among the rising generations. In taking it upon themselves to act as ambassadors to sick and hungry children, our own boys and girls show a concern and a maturity of which we can be proud. Meteors And Comets Since fall is one of the best seasons for skywatchers to observe the strange behavior of meteors and comets in the sky, a few words about them are in order. Most meteors and comets, whatever the reader happens to call them, are very near the earth and not far away - as many think. They are metallic substances which have separated from a large mass and are plummeting through the air, pulled to the earth by gravity. They fall into the layer of gases surrounding the earth during day and night but are observed only at night when red-hot metal becomes visible as fire. Interestingly, they are quite cold as (hey enter the gases surrounding the earth. What heats them IIP is friction. Most meteors burn out before they strike the earth, melted into nothing by the heat of friction created by the terrific speed at vvhichthey pass into the atmosphere. However, some do not completely burn up before they hit; on several occasions very large meteors have fallen to earth. '.mi illllllllllllllll visit with Committeeman. Political Game A Clear Choice (Guest editorial from Dixon Evening Telegraph.) The people of Illinois have a clear choice by comparison between the two candidates running for the most important office of Attorney General. William J. Scott, Republican, and Francis S. Lorenz, Democrat, have both previously held the office of State Treasurer. In 1962 Lorenz who had been appointed to fill the office of State Treasurer after the resignation of the late Joseph Lohman, was opposed by Scott. I In that election William J. Scott was elected by a huge majority for a full four year term and Lorenz was soundly rejected. William J. Scott in his four years in office proved to be the finest and most capable State Treasurer in the history of Illinois. His predecessor, a Democrat, turned into the state in a total of four years in office interest amounting to $16,000,000. William J. Scott, by the end of his four years as State Treasurer, turned in over $90,000,000 in earned interest on state funds. Scott took some $120,000,000 out of two Chicago banks and spread it around to over 800 downstate banks at higher interest rates. One bank had state deposits of $90,000,000 paying no interest. The other bank had $75,000,000 of state funds paying 1%. This action not only helped swell the coffers of the state but also helped the economy all over downstate Illinois. Does this help make the record clear and the reason why we favor and endorse Bill Scott for Attorney General? The Lorenz record as head of our State Highway Department is one that leaves the state with the worst road conditions of any state in the nation. All downstate drivers should be entitled to membership in the "Rough Riders Club". Lorenz will leave as his monumentthe $12,000,000 new state, highway office built at "the edge of Springfield in a swamp - a building that was to cost $6,000,000 of the taxpayers money, Another monument is the $50,000,000 road from 1-80% to Hennepin, Illinois - a distance of 12 miles. We hope there will be some legislators with enough guts to investigate this waste of taxpayers money in the next legislature. Does this give you a real choice as to which man should be elected? Bill Scott aspires to the office of Attorney General with a splendid record of public service in law enforcement, having served in 1959 as a special assistant UJS. attorney for the northern district of Illinois, in which he played a leading roll in the crackdown on the Chicago crime syndicate operations in Calumet city. Our main reason for supporting William J. Scott is that he is honest and we are proud to support him because he has humility, dependability, and integrity and has always been a man of his word. We need Bill Scott in Springfield. THE BORN LOSER 1 by Art Sonsom TRI6K OR TREAT, EH? HEH-HHH, mi.m 16, FOR ONI®! HB SAIP,"TH6 6 FOR you, vwrcz-i" WHAT DID TH£ EARIHIIM? SAY? HOWSHOUI.P1 1 KNOW"?

Our only request is that writers limit themselves to 300 words or less signature, full address and phone number. We ask. too, that one individual not write on the same subject more than once each month. We reserve the right to delete any material which we consider libelous or in objectionable taste.) MORE SCHOOL THOUGHTS "Dear Editor: "I wish to thank the Plaindealer for publishing the letter that I wrote regarding the defeat of the school bond issue, also the writers of the two letters in reply to what I wrote on Oct. 23. "Therefore it gives me great satisfaction to know that my letter gave them thought. My only purpose in writing from time to time is to draw attention to the various things which affect all of us. I also feel that when citizens think, then those whom we put into office to make our laws think /also. Then whatever is wrong is an ultimatum to them to try and remedy these laws and there is still hope for this great country where we all live. "The number of children in a school room was given to me by some one who has access to these records and I will show same to anyone interested. I also remind everyone again that when we cannot afford a mink coat then a good cloth will keep us just as warm. "A byword to Mr. Lawson. As far as my mention of Con-Con, this was just another .reminder of another issue for the people reading the letter. "I am not interested in the school project any more than any other issue that occurs to raise the taxes which keep rising. As for being a member of the school board, if I were ten years younger I would apply. So I am trying to do my bit, and whatever can be saved for myself includes all the taxpayers.
