PAGE 8-PLAINOEALER-FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1972 PUBLIC PULSE (The Plaindealer invites the public to use this col­ umn as an expression of their views on subjects of general interest in our community. Our only re- Quest is that writers lim­ it themselves to 300 words or less - signature, full address and phone num­ ber. We ask too, that one individual not write on the same subject more than once each month. We re­ serve the right to delete any material which we consider libelous or in ob- jectional taste.) ON SNOWMOBILES "Editor: "It is necessary for me to write again for redress in regard to snowmobiles. "Unfortunately that it is necessary for one or more, in this latest case at McCullom Lake three, to lose their lives before something is done to protect life and property, as well as one's individual right to peace and "quiet in his own house "I have been informed that at least two more snowmobiles have broken through again this year at Wonder Lake, for­ tunately again with no loss of life. "Again this year they come across the corner of Barnard Mill road, Howe road and private and posted Mill drive, at speeds of 25 m.p h. and more without even slowing down, much less stop, then visiting the tavern and returning, many returning over the bridge straight down the middle of the road until forced over, thereby using their vehicles for tran­ sportation, which by the sheriff's own statement at the Richmod snowmobile club meeting, is wrong,. They are to have permission and use trails set up by clubs and other in­ dividuals for that purpose. "President Nixon in his speech to congress last week told how people have no regard for anyone but themselves regardless of how it affects the other fellow. "Snowmobiles operate around this corner as late as 2 a.m. and later. The number crossing this point runs into many hundreds a week, "Must we also have a total disaster here before something is done"' "As for myself, I personally will put the blame on the Sheriff's department for any accident at this point, unless something more is done to correct this abuse.

Zapel "5918 Mill Dr "Laverne (Rex) Legan "5910 Mill Drive" THE VISCOUNTS "It has recently come to our attention that many people have a misconception of just exactly what Drum and Bugle corps confists of. It is easy for someone to form an opinion of something that he or she has no knowledge of. It is for this reason that the Viscount Drum and Bugle corps will have an open practice Tuesday night, Feb. 8, at the McHenry American Legion. "This practice is open to everyone, young and old. We hope to recruit new members into the line and add to our growing list of supporters. The time is 7 p.m., and all you have to bring is yourself. We will supply the instruments and give you a chance to sit in on the practice itself. If you are interested in becoming one of our supporters, the corps staff will be glad to„ answer any questions you may have. Consider this: "If you are already active in a band, we will keep you musically active throughout the summer. We will also perfect you playing ability. If you have no playing ex­ perience, we will teach you how to play either a drum or bugle. At the same time we will teach you how to march and instill the discipline necessary for the corps to win. "At the present time we already have several shows booked for out of state. This coming season we will travel throughout Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Canada. The corps will supply you with transportation and housing. * "This sounds like a pretty rosy picture but, as in all things in life there is a catch. To be a winning Drum corps it takes a lot of self-determination. We cannot promise you an easy road to success. You will be required to spend a lot of your spare time perfecting what the instructors present. Ask any person who is presently with the Viscounts. There is,a lot of sweat and hard work involved. Your reward will be a winning Drum corps and, in turn, many friendships from fellow Drum corps members. "Do you think you can measure up to these standards? Do you have what it takes? Why not give it a try, what do you have to lose0 We need the people because this year the Viscounts will be the best yet but, we can be only as good as the people in the line. "If you have any more questions please call the Viscounts corps manager, Bob Wiles, or the Viscounts corps director, Ed Hey ward. "Edward Hey ward" CONDEMNS TAX "Editor: "Following his State of the Union message, President Nixon, through his press secretary, launched a trial balloon of the Added Value Tax. The Added Value Tax is one of the most insidious taxes that can be instituted by any government because it is a series of hidden taxes which are camouflaged in the retail price of commodities. The general public is then deluded into thinking that increased prices are due to labor and business; and all the while, the Lakeland Park DOROTHY LENSE 385-6517 Cub Scouts Learn Proper Flag Procedure Cub Scout Pack 351 held a pack meeting Jan. 27 at St. Patrick's Church hall. Jim Kirk gave a demon­ stration of the proper way to carry the flag and how to show respect for the flag. There were many boys who received awards at the meeting. Mike Leon and Ryan Bradley received Bob Cat pins. Joe Doherty has finished his Wolf Book. He received his Wolf Badge and Pin. Dennis Adams has been working very hard real cause is increased taxation. "The Nixon hypocrisy was evident in the Wage and Price Controls. After promising the American people and Congress that he would not impose Wage and Price Controls, President Nixon instituted an economic dictatorship. Significantly, wages and prices were frozen; but taxes and government spending were not. "The Added Value Tax would compound this problem even further. Inflation would continue - business and labor receiving the con­ demnation and blame for it - while the real culprit, govern­ ment, increases taxes and spending. Regardless of whatever euphemistic title is finally assigned to the Added Value Tax by the Nixon Ad­ ministration, let us hope that the American people will demand that their Congressmen vote against this vicious and unnecessary tax.

Kagan have recenUy returned from a vacation in Rome. While there they spent some time with their son, David, who is studying for the priesthood there and is in his first year of theology. He has three years of learning before his ordination. The Kagans were surprised their son has mastered the language, having taken an intensive course in Italian. The Kagans stayed at the Villa of the Salvatorian Nuns. Their daughter, Sr. Mary Louise, is a member of the Salvatorian Society. However, they did not get a chance to see their daughter as she is a midwife in Tanzania, East Africa. One of the nuns from Tanzania was visiting at the Villa and brought back news and gifts from their daughter. They felt honored to be among the diplomatic corps., the ambassadors and their families at the Sistine Chapel for the Pope's private Christmas midnight Mass celebrated by his Eminence. Among other points of interest they visited were the catacombs of ancient Rome. Truly a wonderful trip.
