Charles Percy had to travel to California recently and deliver a speech on the Berkeley Campus in. which he took a number of verbal slaps against a fellow Republican, Gov. Ronald Reagan of California. Percy did not like the firm stand that Gov. Ronald Reagan took against the dirty neck beatniks on the campus. Percy praised the students at Berkeley "as a symbol of protest, to the world Of your generation's mistrust of the American Establishment." It does not take a long memory to remember the filthy - mouthed brats and their actions that amounted to anarchy and tteir filtiiy signs that could not even be shown on television. ft has not helped Percy's image in this northwest section of Illinois to have him try to belittle one of our favorite sons. Ronald Reagan was born in Tampico in adjoining Whiteside County and was raised in our town of Dixon. The people in our communities are proud of Ronald Reagan. • 'He grew up here and the people know him for what he really "is... a clean cut, honest arid courageous God fearing man who is not afraid J&ystand up for his convictions and who doesn't change his tune ta whichever way the wind blows just to get votes. It-looks like Chuck Percy is running for President with his toeigue hanging out and we sincerely hope he will some day learn that wfe will never have Republican unity if we are going to assault fellow; Republicans. It%as this same inra-party warfare that defeated Barry Goldwater Jin 1964. The Eastern "establishment" to which Percy is very close--fellow Republicans--did it. Will the Republicans ever learnt Incur book Ronald Reagan is a statesman and four times inore . the map than any of his critics. Twice Told Tales Struggle To Grow Growing old is something which is sometimes done graciously and sometimes not. Nevertheless, it remains the hope of each of us that we may be able to do so. In this country it is sometimes hard to stick around for the process. With autos killing several thousand each month, with so many men working themsleves into a heart attack or a stroke, and with the war in Vietnam and diseases taking their toll, it is sometimes difficult to make the grade. In the mad scramble to meet deadlines, pay bills and keep up with the Joneses, we should more often take the necessary time to consider the later years, the real values of life and the really important things to be concentrated on. If more of us learned the recipe for slowing down and developing a sensible philosophy, we might live to be 80 and still be able to kick 19 our heels. LABORATORY DEDICATED An open house and official presentation of Illinois' new Weights and Measures Laboratory was held last Friday. Dr. A. V.

Sue is like many children who want to eat their cake but still have it! So she illustrates the fact that women are half-child in their emotions, for women often want their money back after having lost a wager or an investment in legitimate competition. Her ex-husband should send her $2 with this Case Record! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D„ M.D. CASE C-584: Fanny G., aged 36, is divorced. "Dr. Crane," her former husband began, "Fannysuedme for divorce on the grounds of incompatibility. "Although I had tried to be good to her and had given her my entire pay check every week, she had been a spoiled 'only* child. "So she seemed to'be irritated at everything I did. McCLORY REPORTS From Washington Americans throughout the nation have been appalled at recent attacks against the American flag. Several ofthese incidents including one in New York's Central Park involved public burning of the American flag before huge audiences. Even more alarming has been the realization that (except in the District of Columbia) there is no federal law prohibiting such desecration of the American flag. However, it should be pointed out that all fifty states have laws prohibiting public and wilful desecration of our flag with varying degrees of punishment for offenders. Accordingly, the fact that some recent flag burners have not been liable to federal prosecution should not be too disturbing. These same culprits, if not already punished, remain subject to prosecution under the laws of their respective states. Still, it seems appropriate that desecrating our national flag deserves punishment under a national law. The American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Daughters of the Ameri can Revolution, and other veterans; and patriotic groups, as well as many other loyal Americans, have urged enactment of a federal law, to punish such public and wilfull burning and other desecration of our nation's flag. A measure recommended for passage bythe House Judiciary committee would ;;$itlaw the public and wilfiU boraing or mutilation of as well as trampling upon or other contemptuous conduct directed toward the American flag. Many persons have urged the inclusion of stronger provisions which would outlaw oral expressions as well as conduct. In other words, contemptuous and insulting remarks directed toward the American flag are considered by some as appropriate provisions for the new federal legislation. Still another recommendation would prohibit the use of American colors on commercial products including, possibly, pillow covers, towels, elry and nfovelties, articles of clothing, particularly undergarments, unless specifically authorized by a federal agency under conditions deemed to assure proper respect. Of course employing the stars and stripes in this manner is rarely associated with disrespect for the American flag. Opposition to the proposed Federal Flag Desecration bill has been voiced by spokesmen for the American Civil Liberties union and by several university professors. The principal basis for these objections is that those who burn or otherwise desecrate the American flag are engaging in a form of free speech guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution which provides that "Congress shall make no law-- abridging the freedom of speech." It is true that free speech has been interpreted to embrace acts as well as words including the carrying of signs and saluting the flag. However, freedom of speech does not permit one to conduct himself in such a way as to create a clear and present danger to our safety or security; or where, as in a recent draft card burning case, the offender's conduct interferes with the Administration of the Selective Service laws. One ofthe more unimpressive objections to the proposed federal law is that state statutes on this subject are adequate. Despite the reprehensible character of conduct such as public burning of the American flag, the Congress must necessarily deliberate carefully on the flag desecration proposal to give reasonable assurance that such measure when enacted will fall within the authority of the Constitution. At the same time, acts of malice and disloyalty to our nation and to our flag, in the forms of offensive conduct, which are directed against the very constitutional system under which we all live, must be prohibited by a federal statute--and the offenders puni shed- -appropriately. "She said I wasn't romantic enough, partly because I didn't take her out to parties and late dances twice a week. "So she finally insisted on a divorce. "Now I have remarried a lovely girl and we have a baby boy about 10 months old. "But ever since my second marriage, Fanny has persisted in showering me with gifts and cards on holidays, which embarrasses my present wife. "And she has even sent gifts for the baby. So what motivates a woman to do that sort of thing?" DOG LICENSE NEEDED When a woman like Fanny tries to act like the proverbial dog-in-the-manger, she should be required to wear a dog license! If Fanny couldn't play her part in the game of marriage and thus broke up her home, at least she shouldn't try to add further unhappiness to other people. But many ex-wives are just like Fanny. We thus ought to organize a "Dog-in-the-manger" society and make such poor sports wear dog licenses! Many marriages end in divorce because one or both parties thereto are immature emotionally. Sometimes it is the husband who is chiefly at fault but in cases of spoiled girls, overly coddled by their indulgent parents, it may be the wife who is 75 percent to blame. But when a man is the main instigator of divorce, does he keep pestering Ms ex-wife after she remarries? Not as a rule! Why? Because women are generally poorer sports than are men! And they also have a different type of "pride."

But he wouldn't let anybody , buy a chance except his grandfather. When asked why he restricted the chances to his grandpa, he naively added: "Well, whenever Grandpa wins, he always gives the knife back to me!" In the game of life, women are thus more likely to whine when they enter the divorce court. - The same goes for the stock market and other gambles that women make. If they lose in open competition, then they often have the nerve to blame the stock broker and ask for their money back!
