6. SEC. 2 - PLA1NDEALER - SEPT. 21, 1967 • :r-- - :-V' v' Phone-In Entertaininent One of the newest and most papular forms of radio entertainment is the phone-in or round table, in which a disc Jockey answers questions, or discusses issues, with every Tom, Dick and Harry who wants to call in and speak over the air. Anyone who has driven widely in various states has heard many of these shows andthe disc jockeys range from horribly uninformed to reasonably well-informed. Citizens calling in range from the low end of the intelligence spectrum to the middle, for the most part. One of the things which should be kept inmind about these shows is that they are entertainment, and the views of the radio hawk answering the telephone are not necessarily educational or informative. The opinions expressed are ad-lib opinions. Such an egression is different from the carefully-considered, printed expressions of an editor-who selects subjects of importance, about which he knows something, or investigates, before putting his ideas into black and white. Editors are human, of course, and make mistakes. But at least their primary task is to be informed and study the issues. That cannot be said for the multitude of disc jockeys expressing themselves so freely today over the airwaves on even the most complex of issues. It is a free country and any twenty-five-year old jockey is free to expound on the world but the average citizen should keep in mind that these shows are primarily entertainment. If one learns something from them, that can be considered an unexpected blessing. r Fall IL--. m Value Of Cub Scouting TwiCG Told T(M,IbS Major improvements in 1he Cub Scout program of the Boy Scouts of America go into effect this month after a five-year study, and the revisions are expected to increase Cub Scouting* s natural appwO for boys and provide more help for volunteer leaders. The Cub Scout program was formally launched in 1930, and the last major changes were made in 1952. There are now over two million Cub Scouts in the United States. a Training in the improved Cub Scout program will be given to all Cub Scout pack leaders during the coming month. These orientation meetings will be held Oct. 1 and 8, at the Congregational church in Crystal Lake. One of the early steps before starting the series of studies ami surveys was to prepare a "statement of purpose" related to Cub Scouting far the present day. Richard Neice, district committeeman, said. "The Cub Scout Study committee wanted a yardstick to measure Cub Scouting's outcomes and to provide leaders of Cub Scout packs with criteria for judging their work," Neice said. Hie basic statement that resulted is that " Cub Scouting is a program of the Boy Scouts of America for parents, leaders, and institutions to use with boys 8, 9 and 10 years of age." Then, the purposes of Cub Scouting were listed: To influence fiie development of character and encourage spiritual growth; develop habits and attitudes of good citizenship; encourage good sportsmanship and pride in growing strong in mind and body; improve understanding within the family; strengthen the ability to get along with other boys and respect other people; foster a sense of personal achievement by developing new interests and skills; show how to be helpful and do one's best; provide fun and exciting B2w tilings to do; and prepare boys to become Boor Scoots. The value of Cub Scouting cannot be estimated.

Audrey McClory took to these meetings as much in her way as her husband, Partly because of her knowledge of French but more because of her interest in others, McClory praised her as a great asset as such sessions held in such diverse places as Canberra, Australia; Copenhagen, Denmark; and Tehran, Iran. ' She loved tennis" and went snorkling and siding with her husband and sons. She talked with great pride of her husband's accomplishments and with undisguised love of her daughter, her two sons and her - three grandchildren. But Audrey McClory was also a veiy important person herself -- alert, concerned, interested, and sensitive, she had a bedrock faith in integrity and what to her was right. "The Seedlings" remains unfinished. But the philosophy of Audrey McClory is complete. To her, without honor and decency there was nothing. And for her, life was Ml. j ISSUED CHARTER The office of Secretary of State Paul Powell ha^ issued a charter to Professional Window Cleaning, Inc. for "all types of window and janitorial services." A TRIBUTE TO AUDREY McCLORY/ (Oct. 31, 1915-Sept. 3, 1967) From'a mend "This is a wonderful time of our lives to be living here," Audrey McClory said to a visitor recently. The wife of Rep. Robert McClory, who died in Washington, was referring to the McClorys' handsome Washington townhouse a few blocks from the Capitol and the Supreme Court. It was a remark typical of her zest and adaptability to life. It was a home in which she could, and did, entertain graciously. But the Washington meaningful to Audrey McClory was not the Washington of the society pages and the cocktail circuit. She most enjoyed small groups where she could get to know people. She was warm and friendly but not gregarious. The nonsectarian Congressiorfal Wives Prayer group wasim- • portant to her, and it met frequently in the McClory home. Through another small women's club -- a writing groif) of Congressional and Senatorial wives -- she discovered and worked at a new talent. She was pleased and proud that she had finished ten chapters of a book she tentatively titled "The Seedlings." '•It began one way " she would smile, "but it ended up being autobiographical." She read not only the'newspapers, but journals of writing. A charming, small room in the McClorys' townhouse "sold" her the home she said. It is a study furnished with some of the antiques she cherished. And since her husband had his office, this, she said, was her "office." This, in other words, would be the center of the creative part of her life that was hers alone. There are many official functions to which Congressmen and their wives must go and many people they must meet. But for her the women in her writing and prayer groups became her closest friends. Audrey McClory was enor- . mously proud of her husband's career. A great asset to her was living close enough to the Capitol so that when he was to speak on the Floor of the House of Representatives, she could hasten over, sit in the gallery and listen. Mr. McClory is a member of the Inter Parliamentary union, an organization of legislators from all over the world, even the Soviet Union, which OPTOMETRIST Dr. John F. Kelly At 1224 N.
