Kfcfrt SECV2^ PLAIN DEALER - MAY 4, 1967 Drivers Review Board Examined Legislation to establish a Drivers License Medical Review board in the Department of Public Health (H 1610 and H 1611) has been introduced into the General Assembly. Two other measures call for increasing the driver license fee from $3 to $5, with the additional $2 to be deposited in the Driver Education fund (H 1608) and transfering supervision of commercial driver training schools from the Secretary of State to the Superintendent of Public Instruction (H 1609). The Medical Review Board would set standards for deter - mitiilnq whea a psrksf s physical or mental condition renders him unsafe to operate a rsofior vehicle, and would certify persons found to be to operate a motor vehicle, to Secretary of State Pud PowelPs Office for revocation, suspension or cancellation of tksir driver licenses or for denial of a requested license. Msroatfe® on iixfividual cases to be reviewed by the boeti wodd be submitted by physicians, optometrists, hospital «*£ clinic enspkjsyecs, welfare and social workers and other individuals. ' Tfee board would be made up of nine physicians appointed < by the Public Health director, who would also appoint the chairmxfEu The board may function on the basis of divisions of three members each so that hearings may be held in various parts of the sfote for the convenience of persons whose cases are being reviewed. r The board is authorized to require examinations and to rtpeignatp the physicians to make the examinations. JRefusal to take the examination is cause for revocation, suspension or cancellation of the driver license. All information submitted to the board is classified as confidential and may not be used in any legal action concerning the individuals, other than action relating to the driver licenses. Applying for a license is termed implied consent to the use of medial records, and persons submitting information to the board are relieved of liability. Provisions are included for a review of the board's decisions within 20 days. The measure carries an appropriation of $250,000 to the Department of Public Health and $100,000 to Secretary Powell's office for administration. Any measure that gives hope of improving the highway safety record merits careful study. However, this bill deals only with the physical and mental condition of drivers. It still does not touch the thousands who fall into neither category but nevertheless are a menace because they refuse to recognize a motor vehicle for the instrument of death it can become in the hands of a careless driver. The Battle Against Cancer A frrtf' of 300,000 Americans will die of cancer by the end of 1967. During the twelve-month period, cancer will strike an estimated 570,000 Americans and take the lives of 300,000. This means that the disease will kill over three times as many people as there are living in Mc Henry county. Hie American Cancer society claims one of the best ways to help control cancer and save lives is to educate the public. All contributions, large or small, are needed to help win the battle.

The new statute will protect the interests of artists, musicians and authors as well as others who became copyright owners and licensees. These interests measured in terms of royalties are estimated at almost a billion dollars per year--and represent the earnings of many of our most gifted citizens. The measure is being enacted pursuant to Article I of the United States Constitution which shower at the latter's home in honor of Miss Ethel Dimon who will become the brid^, of Gordon LaTsenof Hebron; " TEN YEAR^'i^O (Taken from the files of Apr. 25, 1957) The large 120 ft. barn on the Arthur Hoppe farm burned to the ground Sunday evening. The fire of unknown origin resulted in an estimated loss of more than $50,000. Six cows and six calves were burned to death as well as a registered Holstein bull. In addition to the cattle 1,600 bushels of seed corn and eight tons of feed valued at $7,- 000 were destroyed. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Patzke were surprised by friends, relatives and postal co-workers at Crystal Lake recently on the occasion of their twentyfifth wedding anniversary. David L. Smith ofRt. 2, Richmond, suffered injuries when he was struck fay a car driven by Eugene Jisha of Chicago on Rt. 12 near Solon Mils. Herman Stamer of Pistakee Bay, executive vice-president of Courtesy Motor Sales, Inc., Chicago, has been elected president of the 1957 Ford car company merchandising school. R. D. Larson of Waukegan street is hospitalized in the Northwest hospital due to an auto accident occurring in Chicago. He is suffering a possible skull fracture, internal injuries, bruises and cuts. authorizes the Congress "to promote the progress of science and useful arts fay securing for limited times to authors and J inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries." Under this authorization, the Congress enacted its first copyright law in 1790 and made subsequent changes -; periodically until 1909. However, the entire subject has lain in virtual limbo since that time. Meanwhile, the development of motion pictures, radio, television and other means of communication has rendered the old copyright law quite inadequate. (CATV) is covered for the first time in the new legislation. This becomes necessary because CATV systems retransmit television programs by special cables to patrons who pay a monthly -charge. However, a section of the original bill was intended to limit CATV liability where retransmission takes place within the same area as that served by the originate ing station. In the House debate a dispute arose between the chairman of the Committee on Interstate Commerce and the chairman ofihe Judiciary Committee as to jurisdiction over CATV operations. Accordingly details respecting CATV copyright exemptions and liability/ have been postponed for the time being. The measure is now pending in the Senate where some additional revision may occur. However, the general provisions of this particular legislation are quite well settled. A detailed report by the Register of Copyrights in 1961 followed fay a thorough study by the ' House Judiciary committee over a period of two years preceded the recent vote of apUnder the old law, copyright proval in the U. S. House of protection was granted by the ^^rese^ves" Register of C•o p'ny righ• tsr* fif o.• r a - Authors* „c o'm posers flfiaon H maximum period of fifty-six years. Hie period of protection under the new proposal is the author's lifetime plus fifty years. Upon the expiration of that period, the copyrighted material may be freely usedbythe public. Of course, the new Copyright law, (HR 2512), covers motion pictures, radio and television performances, sound recordings and other productions in the same way as the original copyright law protected writings and sheet music. In addition, the legislation contains an exemption of educators from copyright liability for any "fair use" of copyrighted material in connection with their educational work. However, commercial transactions in photostats of copyrighted works or large scale reproductions (even for class room purposes) would violate the fair use doctrine. A completely new feature of the bill will be to impose liability on the operators of juke boxes to the extent of $8 per year for each juke box. The basis of this added compensation is that juke box use of musical works is considered a new publication or transmission of copyrighted material. Similarly, the subject of Community Antenna Systems ayrights as well as those who come purchasers and licensees of their copyrighted .works, all appear to hail this [new legislation. The interest £Of the general public in this rmeasure may be slight, and {knowledge of this complicated , subject even among members of the Congress may be quite limited. Still, the impact of this significant legislation is 'great indeed. Its benefits will 'be enjoyed by the countless thousands of creative artists 4 whose talents enrich the culj ture of our great nation. Members of the House Judiciary committee have received the principal accolades, and Republicans and Democrats alike who have promoted this farreaching legislation are entitled to a hearty "well done." /wing* 1 (The Plaindealer Invites the .public to rise this column as an egression of their views on subjects of general interest in our community.

MCHS ATHLETICS "Dear Sirs: "What has happened to M.C.H.S.? (tee coach resigns. Another tries to resign. And now, the trouble already with the new coaching staff. I realty can't help but wonder what has brought all this about. And when I stop to think why these things have happened, I feel like saying that I never was a part of that high school. "Why have athletics at the high school literally gone down the drain? Why have the coaches tried to quit? In short, why has 'M.C.H.S. gone from a top contender to the bottom of the standings? "Most people blame it on the coaches. These people can't see as far as their noses. Actually, after managing football for three years there, I can see where the major share of the blame should be put on the student body and the administration. These people really prove the old saying that no one loves a loser. "In the past two years the McHenry coaches have been up against a brick wall-- coach Hargis taking most of the blame. "How can a coach have a winning team when the players don't have the spirit or the incentive to play to win, or when the student body does no longer support them? "Two years ago, the football team (and the basketball team) had the very opposite of this situation. In these two years, the team had desire to win. They had pride. True, they were not a team with great potential, but they were surely a team that did wonders because they wanted to. They accepted Coach Hargis' pushing because they knew it was the only way to get a championship team. They were . . supported by the student body, and the coaches were laudedfor their fine job. "Then, when we lost the conference championship game against North Chicago in 1964, everyone started blaming the coach. Actually, it was far from his fault that we lost that one. There were so many injuries that if s a wonder that the team could play at all. No one stopped to think about that though. "It seems thatthis stigma has stuck ever since. As soon as we lost the first game the next season, everyone thought they knew what was going to happen, even the team. When the student body fails in its support (the players need to know that they are supported, and work harder when they know1 someone cares what they do), and the team loses its pride and incentive, there's not much a coach can-do. McHenry still hasn't gained this back and it looks as though they never will as long as everyone likes to complain instead of do. "What do most people think of when they reflect of Coach Hargis' years at McHenry--that trouncing of undeafeated Barrington in 1964, even when we knew we couldn't win the championship? NO. They think of the North Chicago loss, of the losses in the last two years. Don't they remember that in continue to lose good coaches? 1963 and 1964 we came closer ^ that far gone? ni.^111, tho lirnwn that irtshV '^ ">•$ ' ' \ r "Other schools have spirit^,;* and pride--bad teams or good.£ Why can't M.C.H^.?

' in its support, the coach is * backed into a corner, ««As present manager at Western Illinois university* 1 can seethe things McHenry used to have--desire and pride; and the difference in their playing ability is apparent when they have this going for them. " Yes, I ask what has happened to M.C.H.S,? Has apathy been substituted for spirit? Has sportsmanship been declared out of style? Have the athletic teams become social clubs with the main emphasis on coach criticism? If this has happened, any McHenry coach will have a job with which he will not be able to cope. "No new coach can bring McHenry out of this situation, ft will take the co-operation of the students and administration. New ideas for boosting spirit, more pep rallies, and above all a new attitude oh the part of spectator and player alike are heeded. Athletics are a much needed thing. Why let them deteriorate? '^M.C.H.S.' loss of Coach Hargis is going to be felt. We have lost a great football coach, a dedicated person, and an all-round swell guy, because we couldn't take the'blame ourselves, but took the easy way and made the coach the scapegoat. "The only ones to change the situation are the people at M.C.H JS. IF things don't change, Coach Hargis' resignation will have profited no one--except himself because he won't have to deal with the impossible situation.
