L PAGE It - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. JUNE 27.1979 f Pi \IM)I \l FR Editorial Opinion ------ Tornado Season * ; Tips weather experts now offer Americans living in traditional • tornado zones could save lives. In view of the recent tragedy in ? Texas, the following should be remembered. « Act quickly to reach a, basement or low spot if a tornado » approaches. (Weather advisories often nowadays alert those in • areas where tornadoes might form.) Open windows if there's time, lie flat in the lowest, most protected location available. Be aware that the approach of cold fronts can produce tornadoes in early summer, because the leading lower edge of a cold front often pushes warm, moist air upward; this can begin a roll or spiral of air, which may initially be horizontal or lateral but which can turn vertical, to produce the dangerous, skipping tunnel so frequently seen in midwestern and southern states. Remember that tornadoes pass quickly, most of-the danger being over in seconds or minutes, unlike hurricanes or winter storms. The velocity of tornado winds is greater than that in other • storms and inside the vortex of a vertical funnel there's often a vacuum, which explodes closed buildings and homes by sucking ; the air from around them. • Especially vulnerable are trailer homes, thin, wood frame • houses and less solidly built structures. Heavy masonry I structures, or steel or concrete buildings, are--as a general rule-- • the least vulnerable. 0 Teachers Unions #• • A struggle which could have a far-reaching effect on the future of • the nation is that currently being waged over the question of ^teachers' unions. j It is not a question of whether teachers will organize. Many ^already have. The struggle is over the key question of whether all ^teachers should or will be forced to join unions recognized by fschool authorities. < A teacher in Michigan has just been reinstated, after having 1 been fired for refusing to join a union-after a long legal battle, ^orld Research, a non-profit, educational organization, recently ^interviewed Susan Staub, an opponent of forced unionism among j teachers. The California-based publication quoted Miss Staub, a graduate "of Emory and Henry college and a former high school teacher, as > saying she resisted heavy N.E.A. pressure while a teacher to join a v union and then, finally, quit to join fhe fight against compulsory i unionism among'teachers. » Miss Staub, commenting on the N.E.A. (National Education * Association union and A.F.T.-American Federation Teachers union) believes if a union can tell an educator whether or not he or / she can teach, that's the ultimate threat to academic feedom in America. Others, of course, disagree. But all agree that this issue < is a current, pivotal one in the evolution of teachers' unions in ' America, and the public should be aware of the battle now in ; progress. The Senate recently rejected right-to-work guarantees > for teachers and the focus of the legislative battle is now in the \ House. ; Miss Staub also believes teachers committed to compulsion in - joining a union won't be able to teach, as most have traditionally. • the ideal of freedom of choice and voluntarism. This fear, along I with disturbing statements from the president of N.E.A., who in { 1972 boasted that, "We are the biggest potential striking force in i this country and we are determined to control the direction of education," make this issue a critical test for Americans.

New Features On State Map Several new features and the latest revisions highlight the 1979-80 Illinois highway map now being distributed by the Illinois Department of Tran­ sportation. Dedicated to today's road­ ways, the map cover by Transportation Artist Dale Danieie has colorful illustrations of an early-day motorist, replete with cap, goggles, and duster coat, along with various vehicles, from the vintage models to today's more modern machines. Among the more important changes are: -- a new fold for easier handling and reading; -interstates and fully access- controlled freeways have been switched in color from red to green to conform with federal standards; -- the index to cities shows the most recent population figures and lists all communities with more than 275 persons; - exit numbers correspond with numbers posted at in terchange locations, which will aid emergency and rescue vehicles; - recreation areas are located on the back for easy access and are color- coordinated; a special column lists areas containing facilities for the handicapped; -- the legend indicates rest areas with full and limited facilities; - an Illinois state police district headquarters' ad dresses and phone numbers are available; - a listing of Illinois Tourism offices where travel in­ formation may be obtained. The reverse side contains a map of the Chicago area, in­ cluding a separate one d e t a i l i n g C h i c a g o ' s metropolitan expressway system. Other detailed maps i n c l u d e S p r i n g f i e l d , Bloomington. East St. Louis, Danville, Decatur, Kankakee, Normal, Peoria, Quincy, the Rock-Island Moline area, and Rockford. All of the city maps have been revised to show urban growth and key tran­ sportation facilities. The 1979-80 highway map is available at reception desks at all nine Illinois Department of Transportation district offices, as well as state office buildings in Springfield and Chicago. Requests for the map should be directed to MAP, 2300 S. Dirksen Parkway. Springfield, 111., 62764. June 19,1979 This stock market reminds us of the confused lament heard by millions of Americans huddled around their radios (forgive the no«talgia)~"It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman! Depending upon where one is looking the stock market can be described in many different ways as there are bear trends, bull trends, and neutral trading ranges. But, and again we apologize but the analogy seems apt. The overall action of the market is showing superman strength in the face of one horror story after the next. A feature article in the Wall Street Journal last Friday was entitled "Global Gloom - oil prices and shortages may cause a recession and world inflation" and from there it only got worse in the body of the article. So what does the market do but go up a little. The reason stocks are so low today in relation to earnings, book value, and dividends is because of the steady flow of actual and possible horror stories we have been living with for years. This ability to hold together despite many frightening potential scenarios is one of the reasons we do not see major downside risk in the stock market and why we do see a big bull market out there. It may take more time and more base building, but stocks are in our opinion the premier investment vehicle available at this time for the long term, many companies offer solid earnings prospects despite a business slowdown and are already attracting money- selected issues should be bought now. Evidence of a business slowdown having already started or at least close at hand is growing daily, helped along by our gasoline problems. This stimulated a very sharp decline in interest rates the last several weeks and has taken a good deal of credibility away from the "credit crunch bunch". Institutions have to be somewhat mesmerized by the Opec meeting starting June 26. In our opinion, an official price increase to the $18-$20 a barrel range and more for light crude will not shake up the market if we receive some assurance that prices won't go up weekly for the rest of the year. Iran remains a very realistic concern and if their production is lost, stocks will get even cheaper and rather quickly. However, you can't stop the world and get off, the odds that interest rates have peaked are increasing, and the stock market shows clearly it stands tall. We would continue to buy during selloffs, and reduce buying into advances until momentum and leadership improve. Perspective THE DOUBLE STANDARD ON ZIMBABWE RHODESIA BY RON ALD RKACiW Scene: A dark, cramped, high-ceilinged office in an old government building in Washington, DC. It is the Bureau of Double Standards, occupying only two rooms. In the inner room, the chief of the bureau gazes out the window. His assistant, Smithers, rushes in. Smithers: Chief! Chief! Great news. It's the break we've been waiting for; the first really good news since the Human Rights Office people traveled around South America giving those governments lectures on morality. Chief: Calm down, Smithers. We've waited so long a few moments to catch your breath won't hurt. Smithers: Right, chief, but I'm very excited. You see, the president has decided to keep the sanctions on Zimbabwe Rhodesia, despite the fact they elected a new black majority government freely, with nearly two-thirds of the population voting. Chief: Wonderful, but did he use the language we drafted for him? Smithers: Yes. that's the best part. He said the elections weren't "free and fair" enough to justify his lifting the sanc­ tions. He said that keeping them on would be in the best interests of the U.S. and - get this - the people of Zimbabwe Rhodesia. Chief: Perfect. Did he go all the way and compare the new government in Salisbury un­ favorably with, say, Nigeria or Zambia or Tanzania? Smithers: Not quite, but he implied it and I doubt the point was lost on the public. He made it pretty obvious that if a government in Africa is run by a dictator, is Marxist or socialist or has a self- p r o c l a i m e d e m p e r o r , president-for-life or one-party rule or if it has oil it threatens to withhold, such as Nigeria, we'll accord that government full diplomatic honors. But not Rhodesia; Chief: In other words, he's holding firm - as we recom mended - for inclusion of the terrorists Nkomo and Mugabe, who have refused to participate in talks with the Salisbury coalition and who turned down every invitation to participate in the elections? Smithers: Right. Andy Young says they've got to be part of the deal, even though they've made it clear they aren't the least bit interested in democracy, only getting control of the country. Still, the various dictatorships in the neighborhood have told Andy that Nkomo and Mugabe have to be in on the deal or they 'll be angry with us. And that threat is enough to make Andy light headed. Chief: Smithers, I'm proud of you. This is a great day in the history of the Bureau of Double Standards. It takes me back to the day the president said we couldn't control events in other countries - referring to the revolution in Iran - just as the administration was cutting off credit and arms sales to Nicaragua in order to topple the government there. Smithers: It's good to be back in the good graces of the White House. Chief. Why. now. maybe they'll restore our budget cuts and give us a couple of extra rooms and even a secretary. WORKWISE 1. I work for a large super­ market. When I applied for the job, I was told that I would have to join the union after I worked one month I agreed to join the union because I needed the job. I've talked with others who work here and they say they had to do the same thing. Is this legal? If I decide not to join the union, now that I'm hired, can they fire me? The National Labor Relations act enacted by the Congress of the United States permits, under certain conditions, a union and an employer to make an agreement (called a union- security agreement) requiring all employees to join the union in order to retain their jobs. The act also provides that an employee may be discharged for failing to pay the required union initiation fees and dues uniformly required under a union-security agreement.

I would like to get forms to take with me so that I can file for unemployment insurance when I get there. Where do I get them? Any state you move to will supply you with the proper forms and will help you file a claim for unemployment in­ surance. However, since you will be filing based on wages earned in Illinois, Illinois will determine if you qualify Normally, you will not be eligible for benefits if you move to a state where your chances of getting a job are not as good as in Illinois. The unem­ ployment insurance office (ineither state) which serves the area where you live is available for further assistance. Questions may be submitted to Workwise, 910 S. Michigan.
