„ ' N^ 1 " ^V. i "^/~ PAGE 4, SECTION 2 - McHENRY PIAINDEALER - faARCH 9, 1967 TEST LAW GAINS SUPPORT ... • Both sides of the aisle in the General Assembly at ^ring- Held may be in agreement on the state's need for a lowering o| Hie blood alcohol presumptive level and an "implied consent" Ikw. Both moves have been gaining strong and deserved public support. The state has just completed a year-long blood alcohol survey. Sharked by the Governor's Official Traffic Safety Coordinating committee, it brought together the Sate Department of Public Health, the Illinois Coroners association and the Illinois State Medicals society and tested the blood of all persons killed in traffic accidents in 1966. As Doctor Julius Kowalski, chairman of the State Medical society's Committee on Public Safety, jwt it: "For the first time we have a very firm base line to prove that alcohol has, perhaps, a 50 per cent relationship to vehicular fatalities." Under the "implied consent" provision, a driver agrees when he receives his driver's license, that if he is stopped, charged with a violation, and becomes suspect of drunken driving, he will submit to a chemical test for intoxication to determine tis. blood alcohol. Most commonly, he will submit to a breath test. The penalty for refusing such a test would be a six-month license revocation. Only certified persons would be authorized to give the breath test and only doctors, registered nurses or gnedical technicians the blood test. The State Department of Public , Health would determine test techniques and certification. 'Y One argument in favor of the law is that because about half the fatal accidents involve a driver who has been drinking, the '•chemical tests would be part of a sensible, urgently-needed System of protecting drivers and their passengers. Driving, after all, is a privilege--not an automatic right--and the state should ..'be . able to set certain requirements for those who seek a license f entitling them to the driving privilege. m "OUNCE Of KINDNESS' ; The month of March is designated nationally as Red Cross Month. This is an organization that receives no money from tike federal government, its only source of funds coming from crintributians. B is your money that allows the Red Cross to carry on its aiany diverse operations for the men aid women in service, tor veterans, their dependents and also for civilians in time of disaster. . Volunteers are covering the business sections of many 0fthe thirteen municipalities in McHenry county. Others are fcwfog contacted by mail. Contributions may be mailed directly the Red Cross office at 104K Benton street, Woodstock. *=>', . Hie fund drive quota for McHenry county chapter is $28,000 ' -OAs year. If more is given, additional services will be provided. It should be easy to be generous when one realizes the emergencies in this area alone in which suffering has been Relieved by the Red Cross. One of the most recent was the tornado which two years ago levelled parts of Crystal Lake and Island Lake. These were our friends and neighbors. Who can say that be will not be the next to need help? Even an "ounce of kindness" in the way of a donation will help. j $ THE CHILDREN'S HOUR McCLORY REPORTS From ^ Washington by Paul Powell Secretary af State m y,. SHINTY PUNS ORDERLY GROWIN With increasing populations in the areas outside Chicago, tte growing need for orderly planning becomes sJare evident. In this regard, the McHenry County Planning commission hqpes to have the county plan prepared before the end of this ' 'iiscal year. The grotv is working with municipalities on a vol- ' uB^u*y basis, meeting with each upon request. * Along the same line of providing for orderly growth, the county board feels the necessity for providing specific rules " covering camp trailer parks in the future. ;; The w»»ttor arose a few months ago when the board was asked to consider a recommendation of the zoning board of < appeals for a trailer park in Coral cussion with a representative of a camper organization, the committee decided to work out a set of rules for future sites in the county. A congressional storm has developed concerning use of federal funds by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)) to subsidize the activities of the national Student association (NSA) and other private groups. The not-so-subtle practice of fiumeling federal monies through private "foundations" to the NSA and other groiqps has raised further questions. There seems to be no doubt but that Communist propaganda is disseminated, and perhaps subversion carried on, at meetings of some youth and other organizations. There is an obvious need to counteract such activities. However, the proper method for meeting these Communist challenges is subject to the most careful inquiry. Traditionally, governmental intelligence agencies have operated through "plants" or paid agents, who have joined organizations for the specific purpose of ascertaining confidentownship. Following dis-l^ tial and valuable information. The CIA practice of providing secret financial support for organizations' internal, regionaland even interaational-activi-- ties (with only a few members being aware of the source of the subsidy) is highly questionable. Strangely enough, the actions of the NSA as well as of other groups financed with CIA funds frequently have been opposed to national policies. It is rather absurd to suggest that such opposition would have been far greater except for its financial backing. Many members of the Congress, who approve of such federal subsidies for the NSA and other organizations, object nevertheless that the appropriations for these purposes have not been specifically authorized by the Congress. In other words, they feel that-if federal support of attendance by students at international meetings is beneficial to the country-we should be straightforward in providing such siqiport. Certainly, the Soviet Union and other Communist nations make no secret of their financial support of the Communist youth who participate in such meetings. Disclosure of the receipt of CIA funds by the NSA was followed almost immediately by information that other private organizations also had received funds from the CIA. A serious question arises as to whether there should be federal subsidies of any private organizations, including the NSA. About fifteen years ago in Illinois, the late former Governor Adlai E. Stevenson and a Republicans-controlled Illinois General Assembly abolished so-called "Christmas Tree" bills (measures by which public monies were appropriated to benefit private organizations). The resultant saving to Illinois taxpayers has been enormous, and it would seem that federal taxpayers are entitled to this same consideration. The CIA budget is reported to be about $500 million per year. By eliminating payment to private organizations, a highly objectionable practice could be terminated and a large part of this sum could be saved. Carbon monoxide lias aptly been tlescriber] as the sneak killer, because Its presence cannot be detected by any of the senses and in addition it appears to dull the normal awareness of danger. He sure your ear is adequately ventilated at all times, especially 011 long trips, and never leave the motor running y in ;i parked car to keep thelienter operating. Any undetected flaws in the exhaust or heating system may cause this dangerous gas to seep into the passenger compartment of the ca r. Another precaution is to have the car's muffler and tail pipes checked periodically, particularly if a substantial part of your driving involves only short distances. When a car is driven only a short distance, moisture in the exhaust condenses in the muffler and tail pipes, and. because the muffler and pipes do not have°an opportunity to get hot enough to evaporate It, rust forms and soon causes breaks in the metal.

"Snowdrifts, ice, and a flock grackles! What's the natural reaction? Summer, and oiir beautiful world out here away from the grime and noise of the city. . "Then, in a flash, the little children of the congested city streets, for whom a few days in our world of peace would be like a vision of heaven, a vision that would give them a goal, a hope for the future-- to strive, to rise above the present, to make every effort to achieve and to become what man should be. "Several families in the area are preparing to open their homes for two summer weeks to some of the city's underprivileged children. We have so much for ourselves. The first movement in the war on poverty must be one of sharing, at the grass roots level. Government funds are handouts that draw only cynicism; for people are people. "It is love that heals people, love that lifts them, love thai strengthens them. "But love also, as Shakespeare says, "blesses him ttiftt gives." If there are families interested in participating in this simple way of sharing beauty and joy with children whose lives are deprived of light, freshness, beauty, sparkling water, fun and friendship, inquire about the project from Mrs. Pat Dusthimer, 653-6310, or Mrs. Kathy Matesi, 653- 3826.
