PAGE 7 - PLA1NDEALER • WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 30. 1977 Police Leaders Meet. . . On a visit to Munich remainder of the time in various German cities such as Frankfurt, Endorf, Dusseldorf, Koblenz, Cologne, Munich and Heidelberg. The Munich Oktoberfest was one of the highlights of the trip, as they experienced the Ger­ man "Gemutlichkeit" (freely translated, a feeline of frien­ dliness and coziness) at the Pschoor beer tent. This was actually a , huge building, decorated with turquoise, gold and white banners, with an oom-pah band playing in the center and surrounded by over 5,000 merry people who were drinking, eating, singing and swaying. The Oktoberfest parade was particularly beautiful because every participant was in colorful national costume, with many bands and floats plus beer wagons pulled by sturdy teams of horses outfitted with silver trappings and crocheted ear coverings. Most parades are made up almost exclusively of young people, but not so at Oktoberfest _as both the very young and the very old mar­ ched happily by. And at the very end of the parade came thirty unbelievably noisy huge brown cows, each wearing a large, clanging bell! The Lord Mayor of Munich provided a pleasant surprise, with an invitation to attend an official reception at the Rathaus (city hall) where costumed young people from Italy and Switzerland danced on a patterned cobblestone courtyard. This was followed by the traditional "Fruehschoppen" (lunch) hosted by the Lord Mayor in presence of the Counsul General of the United States This turned into an especially memorable event because when the young people finished their lunch, they began playing their instruments, singing, clapping and even dancing right in the small Rathskeller. Their high spirits were con­ tagious and it was fun for everyone. The delightful cruise on the Rhine river was a highlight, as it is a very heavily travelled waterway with trains running on each side. Little towns nestle at the banks of the river, neat vineyards rise sharply behind them, and at every curve of the river there is a castle on the skyline. John Albrecht of McHenry (wearing dark glasses) is shown with the president and vice-president of the International Police association, who are also high ranking officers of the Munich Police department. Mr. and Mrs. John F. Albrecht of 1117 Front Royal court in McHenry recently returned from a three-week trip to Europe, during which Mr. Albrecht, who is chief of police of the University of Illinois Chicago Circle cam­ puses, had the opportunity to tour the Munich police facilities and meet a number of officials including the commissioner, Dr. Schreiber. Chief Albrecht was very impressed with the computer communications system in Munich. Most of the main in­ tersections of the city are electronically surveyed by TV cameras installed high over the cross-streets. In the police station, the control operator can zoom the lens in so close as to positively identify pedestrians, for example. If a driver fails to stop at a redlight, the camera photographs the driver, his license plate, make of the car, and the time of day. A traffic ticket is then sent to the of­ fender's home address. As a result of this system, there has been a dramatic decline in the number of officers hurt or killed while making car stops and arrests. An electronic map of the city installed on one wall of the police department has tiny red and green traffic lights that go off and on, indicating each of the major intersections of the city. Consequently, if a certain traffic signal fails to work, it shows on the board and patrol cars can be dispatched to the scene immediately. A computer counts the flow of traffic, and if the east-west street has the heaviest count of cars, then the computer au­ tomatically gives that street a longer 'green* signal, and a shorter signal to the north- south street. Germany is moving toward having just one national police force in another year, to be known as the state police. This will eliminate city and county police departments as such. Thus the police all over the country will wear the same color and style uniform, making for better recognition by tourists, for instance. While in Europe, the Albrechts spent two days each in Austria, Switzerland, Holland and Belgium; one day each in Lichtenstein and in the Italian Alps; and the iMr. and Mrs. Albrecht enjoy a breathtaking view of the Rhine river, a very heavily travelled waterway with trains running on each side. Sixteen Participate In Income Tax Workshop RECIPE David Plocher, McHenry county extension adviser, reports that sixteen persons from McHenry county enrolled for the recent TeleNet workshop for beginning income tax preparers sponsored by the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension service. The five-day workshop provided intensive instruction for figuring and filing income tax returns of farmers and urban citizens. Plocher says the workshop was specifically planned for persons who have little or no experience and who wished to become more competent in preparing income tax returns for others. Farmers and others are urged to seek the counsel in­ come tax practitioners and consultants. The help of a well- informed tax practioner is well worth the cost. Persons who enrolled for the workshop from McHenry county included Deanna Mullen and Mrs. Carol Rietesel of McHenry. 1 */« Vi »/« 2 1 1 from HISTORY'S SCRAPBOOK DATES AND EVENTS FROM YESTERYEARS December 2,1812--James Madison Is reelected President of the United States.

A child is often as limited by his environment as by his inherited potential, according to a growing body of research data. Indeed, the environment can be "an agent of irreversible damage" or "it may enhance and enrich a child's potential development," in the view of Dr. Stanley Greenspan, Chief of the National Institute of Mental Health's community research arm, the Mental Health Study Center at Adel- phi, Maryland. Therefore, he says, "If day care centers or other early child care settings are going to be used, they must be thoughtfully and skillfully organized to help in the emotional development of children." The study of children in the earliest years of life has been characterized as a new fron­ tier in mental health. What has been well documented is the potentially damaging ef­ fects of early separation from parents, changes in early mothering figures, and the lack of consistent and early stimulation. Some feel that the mother-child relationship, bas­ ic to optimal growth, can take place only at home with a sen­ sitive, loving mother. But many families feel this is not possible and seek alternatives. "I suggest that the quality of care that is to be provided, when day care is needed, is most relevant," Dr. Greenspan declares. "If separation must take place--perhaps through the death of the mother, per­ haps because a home is broken or chaotic--then we must do all that we can to set up growth-facilitating day care or other early child care en­ vironments." Speaking of the rush to or­ ganize and provide child care services, Dr. Greenspan gives a word of caution. "Well- organized settings, well-trained staff and adequate services are only a few of the needed in­ gredients for a good day care program," he states, and the child psychiatrist, consultant or others setting up such serv­ ices have "an obligation to be sure that the services offered match the needs of the child and his family." • e * * Animals don't learn from the experience of other animals and the same applies to men.
