PG. 10, - PLAINDEALER - WED., SEPT., 11, 1968 Substance In Criticism There is much of substance in the growing wave of criticism of television reporting. And it is not only television reporting of the news that leaves so much to be desired but also newspaper and radio news reporting. The swell of criticism over television news methods concerns the tendencyofplayingup violence and action, and of catering to the sensational leaders. This criticism is soundly based. Too many television reporters seek primarily excitement or action. They want to film a demonstration, a rock-throwing, or violence. That sort of thing captures a large audience and maybe even brings the reporter a prize eventually. Few seek out moderate leaders, making moderate, sensible speeches or demands at quiet orderly meetings. That isn't dramatic. What the world today needs is stronger guidance and control of reporters by news directors in television and radio* The public interest, a sense of judgment and true news value, should primarily influence news' gathering, not a desire for someting sensational or violent. Likewise, in the newspaper field, inaccurate reporting is too Often passed off on a gullible public. Overstress on some angles, whether it be Vietnam or elsewhere, can distort the true picture. The filing of stories without thorough investigation of the facts is an error increasingly witnessed. The level of integrity and responsibility of n e w s reporting is of major importance in a democracy. In the United States the free press tradition is especially precious and every effort should be made to correct errant tendencies which have cropped up in this field in recent years. Qualities To Please The Wall Street journal is one of the nation's most successful newspapers. It has been thriving and expanding during a period of hard times for metropolitan newspapers. A close look at the Journal shows that it is something other than a big city newspaper. It is a specialized publication with many of the characteristics of the small community newspaper. The news and advertising content is interesting to Journal readers for the same reason a hometown newspaper is interesting. Classified advertising is a major source of income for the Journal. The want ads are just as personalized and as interesting as the want ads in a community newspaper. The small community which the Journal serves is a fairly well-defined public interested in finance and big-business. Thus, Help Wanted Ads are searching for men who are expected to earn more than $20,000 a year. Items for sale Include hotels, factories, golf courses, radio stations and other bargains starting at a quarter of a million dollars. Because of the elements of human interest, such advertising would be appealing in any publication. It is effective because Of the specialized community of readership which the Journal has established. The small business and the individual has in his local newspaper the same outlet for effective communications which is available to Journal advertisers. The local newspaper provides well-defined, no-waste circulation and assurance of thorough readership by every prospect. These are the qualities that always make for pleased advertisers and successful newspapers. leclive Service Set out below are questions frequently asked of the Selective Service System along with appropriate answers. Your cooperation in printing and announcing these will be in the public interest: Q. Now that the National Security Council has recommended that the lists of essential activites and critical occupations issued by the Departments of Commerce and Labor be suspended, is there a change in the authority for granting occupational deferments? A. No. Local draft boards have the continuing responsibility under law to use their discretion to grant occupational deferments. The decision, as always, must be based on all the facts of the individual case under consideration. Q„ I understand that a registrant who lives with his child is classified in Class m-A. How does Selective Service define the word "child" in this regard? A. Selective Service Regulations define the word "child" as including a legitimate or an illegitimate child from the date of its conception, a child legally adopted, a stepchild, a foster child, and a person who is supported in good faith by the registrant in a relationship similar to that of parent and child but does not include any person 18 years of age or over unless he is physically or mentally handicapped. Q. Must I have completed a certain number of hours before being considered for deferment in an approved apprenticeship training program? A. No. The requirement that a specific number of hours he completed for this purpose was eliminated by the Director of Selective Service. mN£iS FORT OA THE LITTLE WABASH WAS BUILT IN \Q\Z BY JONATHAN &00NE, BROTHER <X PAN I EL bOONE/ANp MIS SON J0SEPH-7HEY WBSE THE FIRST SETTLORS IN/P/W/if4WE?/, TTHfc SOUlHfcKN P&RTOF ILLINOIS kmown as £sypt was fcHPRgsifsrmp in -mr mttCAH WAR S»Y A CAVALRY a>U&> T H & M A M E U U K E N A m P FOR THE CA\lkUZ\f THAT FOUGHT PURING THE N&POLW(pmc WARS IN THE" EGYPT THE OOAMMNPE& WAS CAPTHH MICHAEL KELLY LAWUTR.

SCHOOL NEEDS "Dear Sir: "The basic reason why I have chosen to serve on the Board of Education (District 15) is because I am deeply interested in a good and progressive system of education for all the children and young people of our community. This can be had by any community that really wants it, but it costs money. "The combination of the natural growth of McHenry* s school age population plus recent transfers from our parochial schools have swelled the f enrollment figures and is causing crowded classroom conditions. This will get worse and not better unless the community is willing to do something about it. "Our biggest single loss will be in good teachers who will give up teaching here under such handicapped circumstances and will move on to communities and school systems that offer them a better opportunity to use their teaching skills. But we need those teaching skills right here in McHenry and we can have them -- if we want them. "With the improvements that have taken place each year for the past few years, I personally think that we are arriving at a pretty good quality education for the children of our community but this cannot continue "with the increasingly crowded conditions. We need very badly to pass the upcoming school bond referendum for another Junior high school or we will be forced to cut back the quality of the education offered to our children. And who will be the losers both now and in the future? The children and young people of our community. "Sincerely yours, "John O. Mclntyre '*1304 N.

"Most, of the lively discussion centered on the actions of the Master association in its supposed fish management program. The committee presented reports from a 'Marine Expert' that stated that plant life would be so abundant in Wonder Lake in two years that wbuld present a health and boating , hazard. With the removal of the rough fish, boat traffic will be restricted to channels, and the water surface will be covered with a green algae. This greenish substance similar to what exists on the Fox river and Chain of Lakes presented a problem to Wonder Lakers in the forties and early nineteen fifties. Much talk followed but no evidence was presented to the cost of chemical or the work involved in control plant life. Discussion followed that it was $25,000 goal for the fish kill. The Wonder Lake Master asso- - elation has already gone on record as stating that donations will be returned if that goal is not attained. Evidently few people are interested in such a program. "Another conclusion was that the Master association should be more interested in the increased housing in Woodstock, the possible incapability of the present sewage plant to treat water and debris before it reaches Wonder Lake. "At the meeting of the Wonder Lake Improvement the responsibility of the Master Association will be discussed but who is to pay the cost? Consensus of opinion thought that this would be covered by a special assessment to the property owners. "The committee also presented reports from fishermen in Wonder Lake. These reports stated that fishermen" like to seek out their prey and the true fishermen like Wonder Lake as it is now. However, the report stated that the fishermen lived hi Wonder Lake. "The following conclusions were drawn. People in Wonder Lake have little to be concerned about, because the lack of response in the donations to the proposed association the committee on property tax relief and committee on incorporation will present a report. "Jean Selkirk "Reporter" From The Farm Adviser Desk CAR LICENSE APPLICATIONS ARE PRE PRINTED--This is a sample of the pre printed applications for passenger car registrations for 1969 now. being mailed to all Illinois automobile owners, on which only corrections or certain additional information need be added, the application signed, notarized and submitted with the proper fee and the 1968 identification card. Secretary of State Paul Powell asked passenger car owners to pay particular attention to the area near the center of the application where certain special instructions may be given. Mr. Powell also reminded tnotorists who wsh to retain their present license numbers that their applications must be in his office by September 30. Itead the instructions and mate any corrections on the application blank. This is Secretary of State Paul Powell's message to passenger car owners for using the pre-printed applications for 1969 registrations. Some motorists apparently are not reading the instructions, because of the approximately 100,000 applications already submitted to his office, a few have been accompanied by notes calling attention to needed corrections rather than having the corrections entered on the applications D Mr. Powell said. Secretary Powell also advised passenger car owners who do not receive a pre-printed application in the mail by Sept. 10 to secure a blank application through the usual outlets, such as currency exchanges, automobile dealers, notaries public and similar sources. Only one mailing of the preprinted applications is being made, and any that are returned by the postal authorities as undeliverable cannot be forwarded again, Mr. Powell said. SUPPLEMENT PASTURE High quality silage, hay or grain are all good feeds to supplement late-summer and early fall pastures. Grass type pastures will require a supplemental grain mixture containing 16 to 17 percent protein. Good legume and grass mixture pastures need 13 percent jfrotein. In general, you can fe$d all of the supplemental hay^and silage the cows will eat at this time of year,, as pastures are usually quite poor in feeding value. Feed grain according to milk production. Feed trace mineralized salt and dicalcium phosphate or steamed bonemeal. WHEAT FOR FEED Wheat has a much energy as corn and more protein. Wheat can be mixed half - and-ha If with corn for feed. Wheat should always be coarsely ground or -rolled, fio that It will tie digested. Wheat has 11 percent protein, therefore, when fed with corn to beef cattle you will need to readjust for the wheat's extra protein. DAIRY A.I. The 1968 dairy population of 14.7 million cows and heifers of breeding age is the lowest since 1893. Of this number 48.1 percent were bred artificially. BEEF A.L There are an estimated 35 million beef cows and heifers of breeding age in the U.S. There are 1.8 percent of these bred by artificial insemination. CORN HARVESTING Illinois farmers field-shelled 36.1 percent of their corn in 1963; 47.5% in 1964; 55.0% in 1965; 58.5% in 1966; and 64.5% was field-shelled in 1967. The total bushels of Illinois corn field-shelled are 278 million in 1963; 352 million in 19- 64; 505 million in 1965; 484 million in 1966 and 704 million bushels were field-shelled In 1967. Figures are from Illinois Department of Agriculture. SHELLED CORN Illinois farmers stored the Portuguese law requires drfi^ vers to carry a red fluorescent triangle mounted on white re>» flective background that reflects headlights at night. When a motorist parks his car,or its stalls he must place the device behind his car to warn approaching following bushels of shelled corn on their farms. In 1963 they stored 135 million bushels of shelled corn; 143 million in 1964; 225 million in 1965; 244 million in 1966 and they stored 356 million bushels on their forms in 1967. Illinois farmers stored 19 million bushels of corn off of their farms in 1963; 28 million in 1964; 50 million in 19- 65; 80 million in 1966; and 144 million in 1967. Figures are from the Illinois Department of Agriculture. The trend in corn harvesting is for field-shelling with the bulk of it being stored on the form, or in off-form storage.
