PAGE 20 - PLA1NDK XL! >• UI MNKSDAY, OCTOBER 8,1980 • PLAINDEALER -- Editorial Opinion Marching Bands Marching bands have long been enjoyed by the people of many countries; and, in the last generation, the marching band has found a new place in U.S. society at football games. Whereas there are few military parades and few ceremonial occasions at which bands give concerts these days, there are many football games each fall and at almost each contest there are one or two marching bands performing at halftime. The mystery about these performances is why practically all of them offer pop music or fad tunes from films. The best music for a marching band, the most enjoyable and the most appropriate, is a march. John Philip Sousa, the great American march composer and conductor, wrote many good marches and there are others. With the very big bands fielded at college football games, stirring march music could be produced. The fad which enveloped marching bands in the U.S. about 20 years ago~of quick-stop film music or pop tunes might mercifully be laid to rest. Vitamins And You The question whether most people need supplementary vitamins and minerals is a hotly debated one, even among members of the medical profession. However, it would probably be fair to say that in recent years there is mounting evidence theft supplementary vitamins and minerals have been found to be the solution for many problems. The latest theory is that many are unknowingly short on magnesium and zinc-that these two minerals have been depleted from the soil by long years of cultivation. Thus present-day Americans don't get enough of them in their normal diets, the theory holds. The B vitamins were discovered long ago. There is continuing controversy over the popular C vitamin. Just a few years ago, the E vitamin became the latest thing. Aside from vitamins A and D, large dosages of most vitamins are probably not harmful. But there is a major difference in a minimum daily intake, or insurance formula, and a therapeudic dosage. When taking massive doses of vitamins or minerals, a specialist should, of course, be consulted. And when buying vitamins, a reputable producer's product should be used. In brief, the use of supplementary vitamins and minerals seems to help some and much is probably yet to be learned about the body's utilization of them. Amendments Explain Workers' Compensation Law Recent legislative amendments to the Illinois workers' compensation law will be explained to em­ ployers at an Illinois State Chamber of Commerce conference Thursday, Oct. 9, in Chicago's Marriott O'Hare.

Your funeral director, cooperating with your clergyman, can advise you properly on the customs and traditions of your own church or denomination. He is also prepared to coor­ dinate military or fraternal rites into the funeral service, when desired. Respectfully, Roll Call Report (Your Congressmen's Vote) WASHINGTON - Here's how area members of Congress were recorded on major roll call votes Sept. 18 through Sept. 24. HOUSE Media Concentration--The House failed, 215 for and 176 against, to get the two-thirds majority needed to pass a bill dealing with cross-ownerships of media. The bill <HR 6228) would put into the U.S. Code the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations prohibiting one company from owning in the future both a newspaper and broadcasting station in the same community; under the FCC policy, existing cross-ownership6 are permitted. What drew most opposition was a separate provision requiring the FCC to locate a commercial television station in either New Jersey or Delaware, the only states without commercial TV. The two-thirds majority was required by the short-cut parliamentary procedure under which the bill was considered; the bill might be returned to the floor under procedures requiring a simple majority for passage. Supporter A1 Swift, D-Wash., said the bill is "a very modest step toward establishing congressional policy in the broad and complex field of media concentration." Opponent Mario Biaggi, D-N.Y., said the bill would "force the transfer" of New York City's WOR-TV to New Jersey - "a bad if not dangerous precedent of having the congress for the very first time involving itself directly in the area of assigning or reassigning VHF television outlets." Members voting "yea" favored passage of the bill. Rep. Robert McClory, R-13, voted "yea." Rep. John Anderson, R-16, did not vote. Gone Fishin'--The House passed, 300 for and 97 against, a bill to gradually phase foreign fishermen out of U.S. waters, in hopes of revitalizing the American fishing industry. Among its many provisions, the bill provides that within 200 miles of U.S. shores foreign catches would be gradually reduced in rough proportion to the expansion of U.S. catches. The bill (HR 7039) was sent to the Senate. Supporter John Breaux, D-La., pointed to the "grim fact" that the domestic fishing industry is suffering from foreign competition, and said the bill "will at last set fisheries development in the U.S. on the right course." Opponent Bill Frenzel, R-Minn., said the U.S. "cannot have it both ways - we cannot be highly protectionist of our own industries and at the same time expect other nations to open their doors freely to our exports." Members voting "yea" wanted to protect U.S. fishermen from foreign competition. McClory voted "yea." Anderson did not vote. Nuclear Fuel--The House voted, 298 for and 98 against, to block the Carter administration's plan to sell U.S. nuclear fuel - 38 tons of enriched uranium - to India. Despite this vote, the sale was okayed when the Senate refused to join the House in thwarting it (see vote below). The vote was on a resolution of disapproval (H con Res 432) supported by members unhappy that India has not obeyed international controls aimed at slowing the development of nuclear weapons. Rep. William Broomfield, R-Mich., a supporter of blocking the sale, said that if the transaction goes through "we will in a very real way be encouraging...the prospects of nuclear war." Rep. Mike McCormack, D-Wash., an opponent, said "the bottom line of this issue today has nothing whatsoever to do with nuclear energy, nuclear weapons, or nuclear proliferation. We are not going to deter India in any way from doing what it is doing if we do not ship this fuel to them." Members voting "yea" opposed the sale to India. Anderson voted "yea." McClory did not vote. SENATE Nuclear Fuel--By a vote of 46 for and 48 against, the Senate refused to block the Carter administration's planned sale of enriched uranium to India, thus removing any congressional obstacle to the transaction. The vote killed a resolution (H Con Res 432; see preceding House vote) disapproving of the sale. Sen. John Glenn, D-Ohio, sponsor of the resolution, said "a U.S. capitulation to India could eviscerate our non- proliferation efforts around the world." Sen Charles Percy, R-Ill., an opponent, said the Soviet Union would replace the U.S. as India's nuclear supplier. He asked: "Do we want to dim the lights of Bombay and let the Soviets turn them back on?" Senators voting "yea" objected to the nuclear sale to India. Sens. Adlai Stevenson, D, and Charles Percy, R, voted "nay." Consultants^-The Senate rejected, 25 for and 67 against, an amendment giving consultants better treatment in a fiscal 1981 appropriations bill for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and other agencies. The bill cuts HUD outlays for consultants by $2.4 million, EPA outlays by $11.7 million, and NASA outlays by $14 million; the purpose of the amendment was to lessen those cuts by unspecified amounts. The bill (HR 7631) was passed and sent to conference with the House. Sen. Harrison Schmitt, R-N.M., sponsor of the amendment, said it was wrong for the Senate to "meat-ax" outlays for consultants "in the absence of any understanding of whether, one, there is any abuse in these three agencies in this area or, two, just what we are talking about...." Sen. David Pryor, D-Ark., an opponent, spoke of the "abuse that consultants are visiting upon the federal government (and) the lackadaisical attitude that the federal agencies have about farming out major policy decisions...to what I call the shadow government." Senators voting "yea" wanted less-severe cuts in the HUD, EPA, and NASA outlays for consultants. Stevenson voted "yea." Percy voted "nay." Alrbags--The Senate voted 48 for and 38 against to move ahead with the requirement that some U.S. cars in upcoming model years be equipped with airbags or some other type of passive-restraint device. The vote removed language in a Department of Transportation (DOT) appropriations bill that would have prohibited spending money to administer the program. DOT regulations now call for limited introduction of passive restraints in standard-size 1982 models; however, I ARE YOU NEW IN McHenry Area? SS96SSSS8SSS Do You Know Someone New?

ON DRAFT REGISTRANTS "Editor: "It's about time that someone says thank you to most of our nineteen and twenty-year-olds who more or less, uncomplainingly, registered for a draft. They do have something to complain about - and perhaps wonder if its worth it all. They should wonder about their elders who have: ..."By letting the govern­ ment do everything, saddled each and everyone of them, and their children, upon their being born - a $3,500 public debt, and; ..."As a result of this - their ability to own a home - due to inflation and regulation has nearly vanished, and; ..."Their ability to save to produce even a down payment is absolutely ap­ parent when they look at their paycheck deductions, and; ..."We, their elders have set up a nice retirement plan - Social Security and even more for government workers for ourselves - that the young must pay for. Unfortunately, there are not enough young to pay for these benefits that have been decreed by our elected of­ ficials in exchange for votes. The system is necessary - but we should have financed it in the past, rather than saddling you with it, and; ..."With the money we have borrowed from you - (remember your share of the public debt?) we have a system that so regulates and controls your ability to get ahead that you may get discouraged before you start, and; ..."What is probably worse, is to let you grow up thinking you have no control over your own destiny - that your government can do it better, and to let you grow up not realizing that controlled government is necessary, but uncontrolled govern­ ment is resulting in the downfall of our country and; ..."For not telling you that if all of the wealth in this country is distributed equally, we will not all be wealthy - rather we will all be poor (according to our standards) and if we share it equally with all the rest of the world, we will all be very, very, poor, and; ..."Like your automobile unattended, your country will be taken over by the other 75 percent of the world. They have not taken it over, only, because until now we have defended it, and; ..."For not telling you that to overgovern, you as a taxpayer must supply the money for overgoverament. That your government is now spending between 35 percent and 40 percent of the money you make - reflected not only in direct taxes, but in the indirect taxes you pay, and; ..."For not telling you that nothing is free especially anything you get from the government, and, that your government and country can and will operate much better with 30 percent less of your money. ..."When you registered you evidenced a sense of responsibility that we seldom give you credit for. "Please evidence that responsibility again at the polls in November. Many of you elders will try to help but don't count on us too much, considering our per­ formance in the past 25 years.

"Sincerely, "Dan Fry "2602 Myang Ave. "McHenry" »A SERIOUS PROBLEM "Dear Editor: "The picture and article on the front page of the Sept. 24 edition dealing with the arrest of two men, proved to me that the Plaindealer is now making available to its readers, the who, where and how of the serious drug problem in our area. "It is time public iden­ tification is made of those who pander to the 'moral degradation of our young people. Retaliation has been feared by students long enough. It is time that those of us who believe in a law abiding society, with freedom from fear, and with the hope of a healthy, morally upright adult life, give our police, our officials and our courts, the backing to do the job they are delegated to do. "Those who would sell their souls for money, without a tremor of concern for the mental, physical and moral anguish that may result, must be dealt with legally, with a punishment that prevents, or at least discourages, the return to the same criminal procedure. "Thank you, Plaindealer. It is time.. "Grace and peace, "Margaret Karas" POLICE CONDUCT "Editor: "If life is a bowl of cherries, why are McHenry motorists driving in the pits? McHenry is not a bustling metropolis with rampant street crime and un­ controlled graft. It is a quiet, pastoral, unindustrialized residential community lacking in hard core urban problems. In the absence of these life-threatening conditions, one would logically assume that the police force would go about its business in a firm but cordial manner. "Such is not the case with one of McHenry's traffic e n f o r c e m e n t a n d management (T.E.A.M.) officer. "Recently, he stopped an unwary auto driven by a local resident. When he became aware that the driver was female and that there were three elementary school aged children in the car, he began to conduct himself in a rude and in­ timidating manner. This surly attitude continued throughout this encounter. "Was this officer trying to impress the children? If so, he was successful, for now these children will relate to their playmates how im­ polite, degrading and uncivil the McHenry police are. "Later, at the McHenry city police station, Lt. Kranz and Police Chief Pasenelli sympathetically listened to the motorist's story. While they expressed concern, they took no action. The officer, and maybe the entire police force, should be reminded that they are the servants of the community; the community is not the servant of the police department. "It is my hope that this letter will provide the im­ petus for other abused motorists to report the of­ fensive behaviour of police officers to Lt. Kranz and Chief Pasenelli so that ap­ propriate disciplinary action can be initiated where needed. The abuse of power or position is an ob­ jectionable practice which cannot be tolerated in any public service organization. "Kathy Austin "4912 Pyndale Drive "McHenry" CHRYSLER LOAN Legislation that would allow the Chrysler Cor­ poration to qualify for state loans up to $20 million was approved by Gov. James R. Thompson. To qualify for a loan, the firm must be eligible for a federal loan guarantee; must agree not to reduce its permanent employee work force by more than 40 percent while the loan is outstanding; must agree to secure the loan with real property used in its Illinois operations; and must not exceed five years in its initial payback provisions. Funding for the loan, if granted, is to be derived from the state lottery fund. umii.wM.siu MCX WALSH INS.
