Roll Call Report (Your Congressmen's Vote) WASHINGTON - Here's how area members of Congress were recorded oh major roil call votes in the days leading up to the congressional recess that began July 3. HOUSE LEAA--1The House, rejected, 182 for and 221 against, an amendment to spend $100 million in fiscal 1961 on Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) grants to states and localities. Critics say that historically LEAA grants have wasted taxpayers' money on police gadgetry while doing little to cut the crime rate. The vote came during debate on an appropriations bill (HR 7584) later passed and sent to the White House. Supporter Robert McClory, R-I1L, said "it is time to stop the slow but increasingly successful attempt to murder the LEAA" Opponent Robert Giaimo, D-Conn., said "LEAA is a program that ought to be chopped, terminated, killed." Members voting "nay" were opposed to any money in the bill going for LEAA grants to states and localities. Rep. Robert McClory, R-13, voted "yea." Rep. John Anderson, R-16, did not vote. SENATE Cost-of-Living Hikes--By a vote of 30 for and 59 against, the Senate killed an amendment requiring that civil service retirees get only one cost-of-living increase each year. This means there will be a continuation of the present system of two annual hikes in civil service pensions to keep pace with inflation; however, in fiscal 1981 there will be just one increase. The vote came during debate on S 2885, a budget bill passed and sent to conference with the House. Sen. Ernest Hollings, D-S.C., a supporter of a single hike, said "at a time when the average American family is hard put to make ends meet...there is simply no justice in singling out the civilian federal retiree for a special and unmatched privilege." S£n. David Pryor, D-Ark., an opponent, said "we are talking about 1.6 million retired federal employees..and survivors of those employees who are actually going to get cut on the average of $300 to $400 a year" if the amendment becomes law. Senators voting "yea" wanted civil service retirees to get one rather than two annual cost-of-living hikes. Sen. Charles Percy, R, voted "nay." Sen. Adlai Stevenson, D, did not vote. Jobless Pay--The Senate rejected, 27 for and 60 against, an amendment that sought to make it easier for an individual to get extended unemployment benefits. Extended benefits are those paid for 13 weeks in high unemployment areas after the 26 weeks of regular jobless benefits run out. The amendment sought to block legislation to deny extended benefits if the recipient has refused to accept a menial job. The vote came during debate on S 2885 (see preceding vote) which will impose the tougher eligibility requirement if it becomes law. Supporter Donald Riegle, D-Mich., said "the jobless workers in Michigan and other states...need our help to tide them through this recession. This is no time to cut benefits." Opponents of the amendment argued that a jobless person who has refused minimum wage work as "unsuitable" is undeserving of an additional 13 weeks of unemployment benefits. Senators voting "nay" wanted to toughen eligibility requirements for extended unemployment compensation. Stevenson and Percy voted "nay." Tax Indexing--By a vote of 54 for and 39 against, the Senate tabled and thus, killed a proposal to adjust income tax rates, deductions and credits to account for inflation. Advocates say the plan would curb the "taxflation" that results when inflation eats away at real income gains by pushing salaries and wages into higher tax brackets. The vote came during debate on a debt ceiling measure (H J Res 569) later given final congressional approval. Sen. Daniel Moynihan, D-N.Y., a supporter of killing the plan, said tax-indexing has met with "near disastrous" results in Brazil, and "would be a declaration by this body that we do not expect ever to bring the rate of inflation down and take it out of our system." Sen. William Armstrong, R-Colo., sponsor of the tax- indexing proposal, said: "The effect of taxflation is to transfer wealth from the productive private sector to the government, which produces only rhetoric, red tape and oceans of red ink." Senators voting "nay" favored the tax-indexing amendment. Stevenson voted "yea." Percy voted "nay." THE HAKKt I SKIT It isn't necessary to buy special freezer containers to freeze food at home. Many "throwaway" items can be recycled for use as freezer containers, according to Dr. Nadine Tope, agricultural extension foods and nutrition specialist at N.C.S.U. That doesn't mean the kind of rigid plastic containers sold in stores aren't still among the best to use. In fact, along with glass jars and metal containers, they're recommended for use with foods that are soft or runny at room temperature. Just make sure that the rigid plastic containers you buy have a tight fit, says Dr. Tope. Glass jars that have straight sides are excellent moisture-vapor proof containers but are harder to store, take The McHenry Plaindealer Available At The Following Locations: •WHITE HEN PANTRY •J ft L GAS •MAYS DRUG •LAKEVIEW ••ELL LIQUORS •SUNNYSIDE FOOD •McHENRY WALGREEN •JOHNSBURG FOOD MART •BOLGER'S DRUG STORE •ADAMS GROCERY •BEN FRANKLIN •LITTLE STORE •OSCO DRUGS •FRED ft IRENE'S TAP •JEWEL •McHENRY QUICK MART •HORNSBY'S •SUNRISE GROCERY •HERMES ft CO. •STEINY TAP •LIQUOR MART •McCULLOM LAKE GROC. •VILLAGE MART •HILLTOP GROCERY •FOOD MART •j ft R STORE •McHENRY HOSPITAL •BITS ft PIECES •NORTHWEST TRAIN Scouts At Regatta Adam Beake prepares to race his boat In the regatta. Derek Moser, center, looks intent as he races his boat in the Raingutter regatta. The Kishwaukee district offered all Cub Scouts the opportunity to enjoy a week long outdoor experience at Cub Scout day camp held at Camp Lakota. Pack 452 had the following boys attend: Elliott Wilcox, Steve Bock, Rich Bock, John Reidy, Bobby Haze, Bob LaBicki, Derek Moser, Adam Beake, Dan Beake, Jason Mumford and Mark Freels. The local pack was one of many who joined in the day camp fun. All week long the boys participated in outdoor games, archery skills, cooking, crafts, nature hikes and outdoor skills. Friday's family day was the highlight of the week. Each Cub Scout had a chance to race his handmade sailboat in the Raingutter regatta. After the champions were declared it was lime to return to the picnic area and prepare supper. Each family in the McHenry pack brought a picnic supper and a dish to share. Closing ceremonies were held around a campfire in a meadow. Awards for the re­ gatta were given and crazy songs and skits were per­ formed. At sunset all Cub Scouts and their families headed for home-except the Webelos Scouts. Many of them stayed the night for a Lad and Dad campout. Pack 452 Cubs are looking forward to attending next year. PAGE t - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY.

Metal cans such as those used for coffee or shortening are economical, good containers that become cold very quickly and help the food to freeze rapidly. Just make sure their plastic lids fit snugly. Plastic bags designed especially for freezer use are also excellent. However, since they tear easily and are hard to clean, they usually cannot be reused. No matter what kind of packaging material is used, a tight seal is a must to keep moisture and air from reaching the food. Fine Trade A couple of old friends ran into each other on a city street and began discussing the cute little dog one gent was taking for a walk. "Oh, what a cute little pup," commented the first. "I got it for my wife," beamed the other. "How'd you ever manage a fine trade like that?" was the incredulous reply.
