PAGE 16 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 12, 1975 VBIkNTE S The Little Red Hen Grows Up (Author Unknown) Once upon a time, there was a little red hen who scratched about the barnyard until she uncovered some grains of wheat. She called her neighbors and said, "If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?" "Not I," said the cow. "Not I, said the duck. "Not I, said the pig. "Not I, said the goose. "Then I will," said the little red hen. And she did. The wheat grew tall HOUGHTON HEATING • Air Conditioning • Gutters PHONE 385-5476 McHENRY EARL R. WALSH & JACK WALSH INS.

"Out of my classification," said the Pig- "I'd lose my seniority," said the cow. "I'd lose my unem- p l o y m e n t c o m ­ pensation," said the goose. "Then I will," said the little red hen, and she did. At last it came time to • bake the bread. "Who will help me bake the bread?" asked the little red hen. "That would be overtime for me," said the cow. "I'd lose my welfare benefits," said the duck. "I'm a dropout and never learned how," said the pig. "If I'm to be the only h e l p e r , t h a t ' s discrimination," said the goose. "Then I will," said the little red hen. She baked five loaves and held them up for her neighbors to see. They all wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen, said, "No, I can eat the five loaves myself." "Excess profits!" cried the cow. "Capitalist leech!" screamed the duck. "I demand equal rights!" yelled the goose. And the pig just grunted. And they painted "unfair" picket signs and marched round and round the little red hen, shouting obscenities. When the government agent came, he said to the little red hen, "You must not be greedy." "But I earned the bread," said the little red hen. "Exactly," said the agent. "That is the wonderful free en­ terprise system. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But under our modern government r e g u l a t i o n s , t h e productive workers must divide their product with the idle." T7T W "MEANWHILE BACK AT THE COURTHOUSE" What Are Eyes Worth? What are your eyes worth? That's the question the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness is asking this month, National Sight Saving month. Have you ever really thought about it? How much are your eyes worth? If you're like most people, you probably can't put a price on your vision, because it's just too precious. The Society, now in its sixty-seventh year, is the oldest voluntary health agency nationally engaged in programs to preserve sight and promote good eye health and safety practices. It serves the country with twenty-two state affiliates. Preventing blindness and conserving sight are positive approaches. To prevent a disease or accident, rather than treat it after it has occurred, is a much more practical, economical workable solution to effective health care. This is especially true where vision is concerned because once sight is lost, all too often it cannot be restored. For prevention of blindness, the success rate must be millions upon millions of cases. Most of them can never be documented. Some of them can. For example, discovering early signs of glaucoma when treatment will be most successful and so preventing blindness when a person is found to have glaucoma and treatment is begun early before the disease has progressed to ultimate blindness. Or when a person who has lost sight from cataracts regains his vision through surgery. However, two diseases, glaucoma and cataract, are still the nation's two leading^ causes of blindness even though effective treatments exist. Both are among prime targets in the Society's programs to reach people with sight saving information. Other major programs include pre-school vision screening. An estimated one in 20 children in the 3 to 5 year age range has a vision problem, and some common eye disorders require treatment before the age of six if vision is to be effectively preserved. In community programs the Society screened almost a quarter of a million pre-schoolers last year. Eye safety has long received emphasis because accidents too often lead to needless impairment of vision or loss of sight. To encourage the public to safeguard vision, the Society promotes the Wise Owl Club, an incentive program encouraging the use of safety eyewear in industry and schools; school eye safety model legislation which has been enacted into law by thirty-five states; advocation of fireworks and toys regulation; and an ongoing program of warning about harmful substances in the home. The fact that of the 45,000 new cases of blindness this year, half will be needless underlines the importance of the organization's programs and the need for more of them. Remember, blindness doesn't always happen to the other person: blindness prevention is for everybody. Price Goes Down Good news to chocolate lovers came recently when one of the large companies cut the price on most of its chocolate candy bars from five to sixteen per cent. The company, in announcing wholesale price reductions, said new, lower prices reflected lower cocoa and sugar prices, among other things. The action by this company is especially welcomed because too many food producers are quick to hike prices when sugar or some other ingredient soars in price temporarily but reluctant to reduce prices when production costs go down. Restaurants, fried-chicken chains and other food establishments have been guilty of keeping sharply higher prices in effect for the past year during a recession when some wholesale food prices declined significantly. While beef prices are still high, and pork prices unusually high, other meats, including chicken, are lower. Reducing food prices when wholesale costs decrease is an inflation fighting action and, often, almost a moral obligation. One hopes to see other food producers follow this one company's example.

Weekly Market Review "Dear Editor, "At its August meeting the McHenry County board voted by an overwhelming majority not to exercise its option to purchase a landfill sit at Route 47 - 176 intersection south of Woodstock. "We commend the board for this show of wisdom in refusing to spend between $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 to buy land and develop a landfill that 1) is not needed in McHenry county, and 2) could not be self-sustaining, thus requiring continuing, liberal spending of citizens' tax dollars to operate, and 3) could not be financed in its initial And they lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who smiled and clucked, "I am grateful. I am grateful." But her neighbors wondered why she never again baked bread. if RADIATORS • Cooling System Specialists • AIR CONDITIONING • Trailer Hitches Fabrication it STEEL SALES • Welding & Ornamental Iron * worn oui rs ADAMS BROS.

"Because of this wise decision, our organization promises to continue to be active in the study and con­ sideration of waste disposal problems in McHenry county. We hope to contribute assistance to the Waste Disposal committee and the board in suggesting solutions for the benefit of our citizens. "In this bicentennial year we suggest that the County board get back to relying on the system which made the U.S.A. the greatest nation in the world - private enterprise and private initiative. We urge the county to save its tax dollars, of which it has too few, instead of spending beyond its means to enter a private business sector - solid waste disposal. We ask the county to use its powers to encourage private business to handle solid waste disposal in In our market report two weeks ago with the Dow Jones Industrials at about today's level, we discussed the totally diverse opinions about the outlook for inflation, interest rates, the short term trend of the market and other important market factors. The market then proceeded to drop 35 points intra-day as investors decided to draw bearish conclusions about these uncertainties. Then, in its classically perverse fashion, the market in seven days ran up from an intra-day low of approximately 784 to a high of 844. The obvious question is what happend? Have the fundamental uncertainties improved or did we simply experience a technical bounce? In our opinion, nothing changed except that a sharply oversold market was corrected. So far, market action indicates to us that we have had a normal rally in a market which had plummeted in a straight down fashion. Volume was disappointing and only one trading day (Thursday, Aug. 28) showed good leadership, volume, and a solid advance- decline ratio. The major fundamental stimulus or excuse for the rally was a better feeling about the outlook for the money market. This conclusion, we believe, is premature but picked up followers as stocks rose in price which also helped investors ignore a number of major negatives. The most serious questions overhanging the stock market appear to be the possibility that the economic recovery, which has hardly started, is aborted by inflationary pressures and deterioration in consumer confidence. It will be a number of months before there is enough evidence to support a strong conviction about this and thus we could be in for a period of volatile changes in the prevailing forecasts and a subsequent volatile market. Thus, as stocks have already recovered some 50 percent of their decline we maintain our cautious and defensive posture. If in fact we have made a real turn back upward, the odds would still favor another test of the 800 Dow Industrial area or at least a period of churning and better buying opportunities. Lawrence J. Adams, McHenry, guilty of speeding, fined $25 and costs. COMPLAINTS Officer Edward Schultz of the McHenry Police department charges that on Sept. 5, Jacque Jay Koppen of 1713 S.

Percy (R- 111.) has urged the Federal Trade commission to annul state laws that forbid price advertising of eyeglass lenses and frames. "These arbitrary state laws have resulted in consumers paying from 25 percent to 100 percent more for eyeglasses." Percy said in remarks prepared for delivery on the Senate floor. Almost half the population of the United States -- more than 100 million Americans -- wear corrective lenses. By age 50, four out of five Americans wear glasses or contact lenses.
