Pg., 2, Sec., 2 - Plaindealer - Wed., Apr., 24, 1968 Outlet For Opinion In New York, where newspapers have been strangled to death in recent years by costly demands from an excessive number of, bargaining unions, a new daily has been organized and began publication last month. The interesting part of the story is that the new tabloid does not cover spot news. It will be an outlet, primarily, for columnists put out of work recently by newspaper closures - and a source where former loyal readers can once again scan their views. In other words, the paper is primarily, an editorial or opinion paper, not a newspaper, in reality. It will thus be, in one way, a bit closer kin to news magazines which really deal more in color and interpretation and a certain slant than to newspapers. There is, perhaps, a place for such papers in other cities and towns. But it should be kept in mind by the average reader, and editor, that the great, traditional strength of the American press has been built on impartial reporting of news in the news columns. Friend In Need-Indeed Easter sales of retail stores again reached record breaking levels this year. During the seasonal buying spree, all types of business flourished. Of course newspaper advertising had a major part to play in the record retail sales. And both the newspapers and the retailers who did the advertising should be proud of their roles in stimulating the community economy. Like Christmas buying, Easter buying is for the most part unselfish. Easter gifts are concrete expressions of love. The wife who receives flowers or candy once or twice a year certainly does ijot feel like her husband has been exploited by advertising. She is more likely to thank advertisers for jolting a complacent husband into demonstrating his affection and appreciation. Purchase of a relatively expensive Easter outfit may appear to be an unjustified extravagance. However, for the average consumer the Easter purchase is a long delayed purchase. It represents the satisfaction of a need at a time when fulfillment will mean maximum enjoyment. Most Easter buying is for goods which will be used and enjoyed for months and perhaps years. Easter advertising does not spring the public willy-nilly on crazy shopping sprees. Like all good retail advertising, Easter advertising and other seasonal advertising, tells the people where they can get the things they want at the time they want them most, thus becoming a friend indeed, supplying a friend in need.

The convention is to be held June 9 at McHenry known as the "Gateway City to the Famous Fox River and Lakes Region". The Crystal Lake road past Sjpencer's mill and up the hill to the city limits, which has been in terrible shape for the past four or five weeks, was graded the first of the week and is now in better condition. The sewer ditch had cSved in severed places, leaving holes several feet deep where cars were getting stuck at different times but no serious damage was done. A Marine mail route is almost an assured fact for the residents along Fox River for the coming season. It is estimated that there are about 450 cottages along Fox River from : the dam south of McHenry to Pistakee Bay on the north with approximately about 1,800 inhabitants whose populations is equal to or some what exceeding the population of McHenry. Many of these people now have no mail delivery service whatever while many of them have no service within a half mile or a mile of their cottages and it was because of this fact that the idea of a water route for the delivery of mail to cottages along the river during the'summer months was first conceived. Miss Maud Curr went to Chicago on Thursday of last week at which time she was granted a great pleasure as well as a most signal honor by an interview with one of her countrymen as well as townsmen, none other than the noted Sir Harry Lauder.

The little children of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Collins, Dick, age 8 and Joan, age 4, started for Center Town, to do some shopping for their mother. They stopped to play on the bank of the creek near the bridge. During their play, Joan fell into the deep water and her brother was unable to rescue her. He ran to get his father who was at work as manager of the local A and P store". When he arrived at the scene of the accident he found his young daughter floating, face up, beneath the bridge.' Only by wading in water up to his chin was he able to rescue her. Sie was taken to her home on John street where she was revived and given medical aid.

The beauty of the' season can gladden the eye. Let it. Admire the blooms and the redbuds, touch the petals of a red rose. If your toubles seem overwhelming, look for the beauty of the world that surrounds you. Find time for a peaceful walk in the park, or the woods. If neither is near, substitute a silent prayer in the church on the corner. Simply refuse to give in to ' despair. Remember above all things there is hope.

U.S. Chamber Outlines Many Needs Of Business The Chamber of Commerce of the United States sent out a report recently outlining the training needs of business. In the period from 1960 to 1970, the U.S. Labor department estimates that we shall need: 41 per centmoreprofessional and technical personnel; 27 per cent more clerical'and sales trained personnel; 24 per cent more proprietors; 24 per cent more skilled workers; 18 per cent more semiskilled workers; 25 per cent more service workers; 0 per cent unskilled (no increase). This illustrates a long-known secret that Commerce and Industry desperately needs trained and trainable employees at all levels and in all fields - managerial, technical, administrative, machine operators, cherical. Millions of jobs will become available by 1970, but - at the present rate of training - we> could have many unemployed; In the past there has been some doubts about the correspondence method. It is probably true that a student can learn well in the classroom - perhaps better than any other way. The employer's problem is how to get the student and teacher together. Without an expensive in-plant training program, the problem is often insurmountable and the training neglected. The difference in the correspondence method is that communication between teacher and student takes place through the written rather than the spoken word. This appears to have advantages; students must learn every part of the subject matter and respond in writing to every part of every lesson. Students studying University of Wisconsin correspondence courses learned just as well as in a lecture course where they were able to question their instructor directly, research has shown. Although the test scores of students taking classroom and correspondence courses did not vary significantly, a University of Michigan study showed that home study students retested four months after taking a course retained more than the regular classroom group. Here are some examples of home study courses that can help individuals advance: 1 am a housewife with children in college and two in high school. My best friend's husband dropped dead of a heart attack two weeks ago and his widow is not at all prepared to go out and make a good living to see all the children through school. Pm more aware than ever that this same misfortune could happen to me. Pm 45 years old and I did secretarial work in Milwaukee before I married. Would you suggest I re-train for secretarial work again? Mrs. J.G. Dear Mrs. J.G.: Yes, However I do suggest you check the list of courses listed on this page for you may have developed a flair for interior decorating or some other profession. In the secretarial field, for example, stenotype training Get a big-pay "glamour" job with seems to be the ultimate in the private secretary field. Write your inquiry to us and a competent educational advisor qualifications for a definite career in a high-paying profession. * * Pm 18 and graduated from high school last June. I took a job for the summer and decided to stay with it instead of going on to college. Fll go next year instead. I understand the U.S. Government starts professional stenotypists with $6,- 800 per year plus annual wage increase, I understand, too, that private industry pays $200 per week and that court reporters make $17.50 per hour. Miss Helen H. Dear Miss Helen H.: True, Government pay for professional stenotypists is fairly standard the world-over but other pay scales may vary slightly in different sections of the country. Very true, though, is that area professional stenotypists are paid double the salary of a secretary with the old-fashioned shorthand. I don't quite 'read' your remarks about staying away from college. If your parents can afford it Pd trytoenroll right now. sa PAY BELAYED TRIBUTE TO FRED MATCH The following was taken from the new McHenry County History, soon to be published: Lewis Hatch was born in Washington county, N.Y. on April 20, 1814, a son of Waite and Martha (Spencer) Hatch, natives of New England; Hisparents, being of limited circumstances; Lewis read and studied any books he could find. At age 23, with $700, he came to Illinois in April, 1837, following the Fox river to the Wilmot, Wis., area, where he sowed his first crop of wheat in the fall of 1838 or 1839. He bought 160 acres along Nippersink Creek and built a saw mill. By 1865 he moved to the farm in Burton township where his remarkable son, Fred L. Hatch, achieved prominence, later becoming a trustee of the University of Illinois. Lewis in 1844 married Miss Mandana Cole, daughter of Miles Cole. They had five children, four of whom lived -- Miles F„ Fred L., Frank W. and Martha L. The sons all attended what was then called Illinois Industrial university at Champaign. Fred, born one mile east of Sjpring Grove on Nov. 1, 1848, and who married Anna M. Reynolds of Boone county in January, 1876, is given credit with introducing alfalfa, the silo and corn sileage. Hoard's Dairyman says his corn sileage was the first in America. The Fred Hatch farm today belongs to Arnold Kattner. Fred is said to have built the first silo on this continent in 1873. The excavation for it is still visible. He got the idea for the silo as a university student. Walter E. Winn of Richmond, historian for the Pure Milk association, knew Fred Hatch and commented "It seems a shame thut Fred Hatch has had to wait nearly 100 years for recognition that has been due him all this time. I knew him very well". Fred was a Burton township supervisor for ten years. His first wife died 20 years after their marriage (no children) and in 1905 he married Mrs. Ethelyn Baker Foster of Manistee, Mich. They had two children, both dying in infancy. Fred Hatch passed on July 7, 1929. THE HIGHEST. . . This is the new Australia Square Tower located in Sydney.
