. f2, - PLAINDEALER- WED., OCT., 23, 1968 The Future And'You! An involved and informed citizenry is necessary for maintaining our democracy. On Nov. 5, the American people will once again elect a president, a vice president, members of congress, governors, state officials, and members of state general assemblies. The outcome of these elections will have an important bearing on the direction our nation and our states will take in the next four years. These elected officials will face many pressing problems,.. such as: The Vietnam War, inflation, law and order, and fiscal responsibility of the federal, state and local governments. The solutions reached for these problems will affect all of the citizens of our great country. In our political system all citizens of voting age have a say in determining policies through the election system. Unfortunately, in the past many citizens have refused to get involved to even the smallest degree. In 1964 only 62.8 percent of the civilian population of voting age cast votes for presidential electors; in 1960 64 percent voted. We urge all citizens to get involved in this year's election. Study the issues and the candidates and become more knowledgeable. Get involved in political discussions with others and spark their interest as well as your own. After becoming well versed, tell your representatives and your neighbors the way you feel as an individual, and then siqpport the candidates and propositions of your choice. The future of our great democracy is tied to each person's interest and involvement in our political process. We all should be politicians, because a politician is someone who is versed and experienced in the science of government or who understands and takes an interest in the problems and solutions of his government, whether that government be on the federal, state or local level. An Autumn Hazard In most areas of the country, autumn is heralded by the bright hues of leaves as they change color and fall to the ground. Property owners who are faced with the chore of cleaning up these dried leaves often rake them into piles for burning. Although this practice relieves the property owner of storing for pick-up or taking to a disposal area, the fire is often a source of annoyance to neighbors and, if it should get out of control could cause damage to surrounding buildings or area. Burning of leaves without regard to weather conditions, time of day or neighboring property is a hazard to public health and safety. Following are some suggestions for the safe disposal of leaves: 1. Try to get rid of the leaves before they accumulate too much. 2. Place them in covered containers for pick-up by community refuse collection services. 3. If you must burn leaves, be sure you know local laws regulating the burning of leaves and trash. 4. Don't burn leaves if rain or snow is predicted. 5. Don't burn leaves if there is a strong wind which could canry a spark to neighboring property. 6. Don't burn leaves near sunset -- the cooling of the air tends to act as a blanket, keeping the smoke from rising and thus adding to the sometimes irritating haze common to autumn evenings. • 7. Avoid burning the leaves of poisonous plants, such as p&sbn ivy, oak or sumac. The smoke can c&rry their poison- t ous substances which can then affect persons in much the same ; wj&y as if they actually come in contact with the plants. „ 8. Keep children away from the fire. 9. Stay with the fire until it is completely out, then rake and spread the ashes to be sure no spark remains. The practice of raking leaves into piles along street curbings for pick-up also constitutes a public safety menace. These stacks of leaves could contain hidden objects which might cause serious injury to children who play in them and they could conceal a child from the view of a passing motorist. It is suggested that raked leaves be kept within the boundaries of your own property and away from curbs and streets. It takes the cooperation and consideration of all people in the community to help keep leaf burning fro m becoming a hazard to public health and safety.

" Point one - There is a fifth grade room at Edgebrook school now that has forty-eight children in the class. There will surely be more before long if space is not provided. Everything about the over-crowded situation that the school board has presented is true! Point two - Health and Physical education are part of the curriculum and need as much attention as the books. A healthy, active child learns much better. Riots and picketing are inspired by groups who seek to overthrow the standard administrations of the school systems in the large cities - colleges, and now high schools in order to change our social system of living. This has absolutely nothing to do with this school issue except to make people panic and io^e si^it of our own immediate problems. Point three - you cannot have elections of any kind without publicity. Unfortunately this is not free. What do Lake county's election costs have to do with our school district problems? Point tour - This letter is written by concerned parents of children now in the Districts 15 and 156 schools, not by inspired, letter writing outsiders! This problem has nothing to do with "Con-Con". Reference to this is out of line. "Children and education will be with us forever. Our children must be educated to the very best of our ability. As good citizens and dutiful parents we can do no less! "Why plan for 10 years ahead? If no one planned for 10 years ahead 10 year ago, and 10 years before that, we would still be packing all our 3,039 student s into Landmark s chool. What kind of an education do you think they would be getting then? "This IS a good sound program - without frills. They are going to try it again. How about all the really concerned parents getting out to vote this time. "Respectfully, "Gloria E. Cassell "Pacita E. Morrison "Sandra L. Bares "Carol Venable "Dolores Schiavone "Bettye Johnson "Myra Zabroski". "Dear Editor: "In regard to the recent letter in the Public Pulse by Mrs. Sarley, I would like to make the following comments: "First of all,Tve already ta- FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Oct. 11, 1928) Mr. and Mrs. William Althoff celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at their home at Johnsburg Sunday, Oct. 7. The day with its golden sunshine was a very happy one for them as their nine children and twentyfour grandchildren gathered around them. Edmund Hayes, about 40years old, died at the home of his sisters in Chicago on Oct. 8, following an illness of about four months. The old site of the familiar Tempus Fugit jewelery store owned by J.P. Smith is now the location of the new and up-todate business house. Peter Freund who recently started up in the plumbing business for himself purchased the lot and has had a two story building built thereon. The community dairy is now occupying a brand new building situated just across from the Chapel Hill Country club on the Pistakee Bay road. The owner. and proprietor^ Ben J. Smith is very enthusiastic over plans for the perfection of a" model dairy and milk route. His assistant will be Emil Patzke who also knows the milk business thoroughly. Miss Frances Pitzen of Johnsburg and Mr. James Chamberlain of Chicago were united in marriage at St. Rita's church, Oct. 6. , ken a «look-see' as to how many children are in the classrooms. The over-crowded class I mentioned in my previous letter, happens to be the one my daughter is in at the Edgebrook school. The majority of the classrooms are overcrowded. When libraries, music and storage rooms and teachers' lounges are converted to classroom space, it's the result of being overcrowded. The facts can be checked out at the administration office. "Secondly, the board of education of District 15 is not asking for a building with 'frills'. The plan does not include a swimming pool. Why insinuate that? "Personally, I don't feel Pve been 'brain-washed*. Pm only a concerned parent and citizen who has taken the time to become informed of the facts, not rumors. "Pm sure other Public Pulse writers who were disappointed with the failure of the recent bond issue will agree with me that our only interest, our only profit is a good education for our children . . .for their sake, the community and society in general. "Sincerely, "Phyllis Bauer "Mrs. Roman J. Bauer" TWENTY - FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Oct. 14, 1943) Open house was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Johnson Sunday in honor of their son, Lieut, and Mrs. George Johnson in Lubbock, Texas, recent newlyweds.

TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Oct. 2, 1958) There is probably not a McHenry youth who is living a more exciting life at present, then Bill Weber, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Weber of Main street who wrote home recently of his experiences in BokoKo, near Taiwan, where he is stationed with the Navy.

For the first time in the history of the American motion picture industry, all essential elements involved in motion pictures have come together to institute a voluntary national film rating program to guide parents, with a special consideration for children. This announcement was made by Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America; Julian S Rifkin, president of the National Association of Theatre Owners; and Munio Podhorzer, a member of the Governing committee of the International Film Importers and Distributors of America. This film rating program will become effective on Nov. 1, 1968. All motion pictures released after Nov. 1 will cstrty a rating. In stating the reason for the new program, Jack Valenti said, " Our primary concern is children, and that concern is the dominant reason for the voluntary film rating program". "Every effort is being made" said Valenti, "to acquaint the public with the details of the rating program. In the months ahead, it is our hope that through our nationwide program of public education people will come to understand the rating symbols and their meanings. All daily and weekly newspapers in the country are being urged to carry these rating symbols on their amusement pages as a service to their readers." The Code and Rating Administration: The Code and Rating Administration (an expansion of the Production Code Administration) will administer the new system of ratings in close association with the Production Code.
