ELECTION DAY "Dear Readers: "Election day is nearing again. Many folks tend to make a great effort to get to the polls to vote for their favorite candidates during national and state elections, but there are numbers of these sanie citizens who will let the local elections slide past, trusting that things will go along in the same old comfortable pattern. "Voting is not only a duty, but a special privilege. Casting your vote without careful thougfhl . about your choice amounts to abuse of that privilege. * • "There aire candidates, running for offices in our local government, who have filled their posts most admirably. There are also candidates who are new to the offices they aspire to, who may endeavor to do better. "It is up to us, the voters, to attempt to determine the outcome of the next four years or local government. "Most candidates aspire to convince the voter that they have something better to offer, in the way of serving that particular post. One thing that would affect my voting for a candidate would be his attitude toward his competition. I think that a better image is presented to the public in omission of careless remarks to hurt another candidate. People like to feel that they elect officers who have a high level of pride and integrity. It behooves a candidate to present such an image to the public, and aspire to live up to it. "Don't miss your opportunity to have a voice in your immediate level of government. Don't get fooled, April 1, VOTE! "Ruth E. Radtke" If you grow first-year corn, the last thing you need is a resistant rootworm insecticide! But you still need aldrin to protect your profits from 17 other destructive soil insects When you grow corn after sod or forage crops, the rotation breaks the rootworms' life cycle. So it doesn't make sense to spend money for a resistant rootworm insecticide when these insects aren't even there. In addition, rootworm insecticides won't control 17 other hungry soil insects from cutting into your yields and profits But low-cost aldrin stops them all. A single broadcast application of this time-tested soil insecticide protects your crop from losses you can't afford this season. Another fact to consider is that "other" soil insects are even more active in first-year corn and can cost you plenty. State university tests conducted over a 10-year period in more than 400 fields show that regardless of crop rotations, 79 percent of all fields examined were infested by one or more soil insect species other than rootworms. In 55 percent of these same fields, two or more species were active. Wireworms alone were present on 20 percent of all plants in over half of the total test acreage. This kind of trouble can add up to heavy losses that you won't be able to control with products that aren't worth a plugged nickel in first-year corn. So this year, count on aldrin, the soil insecticide that protects your corn where rootworm insecticides won't. Your supplier stocks aldrin. See him today.

INVOLVEMENT "Fellow Citizens: , "I am wondering how many of us read two very interesting and very 'appropriate to the times' articles appearing in the March 21 edition of this newspaper. To those who missed these stories. I urge you to not let them pass unread. To those who have read the articles, I urge you to give them deep thought and consideration for they may well be the beginning of a positive approach to what up 'till now has been a very negative social problem. And more interesting still, this positive approach is not built around a system of statistics, finances and hand-picked blueribbon committees but rather it is built upon nothing more than 'becoming involved'. "The first article appears under the Musin' and Meanderin' column. In as much as I ask you to read these articles, I shall not dwell on their contents but rather on their impact. This article tells of a high school principal, Richard Swanz, who was not content merely to beat his breast and shake his head in wonderment of 'what's becoming of this younger generation*. He has realized that words and thoughts alone do not accomplish an end result. Concerned with the school dropout problem, just as we all are, he became positively involved in an unique attempt to not only cut the drop-out rate, but to reverse the procedure entirely and create a new word, a new line of action. How often have we heard ^)f a high school 'drop-in'. "This new, progressive and unique program is still at a controversial stage, just as is any new concept whether it be in the field of medicine, education, religion, etc. However, controversial or not, it is an action, not just a1 theory. It is a direct and positive involvement and it concerns you and me. This detailed article deserves your attention just as Mr. Swanz deserves your support and, even more important, whether pro or con, your involvement. He is the principal, you are the parent. " The other article tells of involvement of a group of interested citizens. A group of people the same as you or L* A group who asks for your active help and consideration. This county-wide group has formed in an attempt to positively fight the growing 'drug abuse and alcoholism' problem. What is their main tool in the fight against drug abuse and alcoholism? Once again, involvement. We know the drug useris involved. He is involved in life or death. He .is involved in crime, degredation and mental illness. The alcoholic is involved. He also is Involved ' in crime, illness, shame and the breakdown of friends and family. "But jails, institutions" and hospitals are not the sole an - swer. Just as these people are negatively involved, so should we be positively involved. A bedridden invalid may desire a sip of water and that water may be on a stand just a few feet away, but if no one become^ involved, the invalid will continue to suffer and the water remain untouched. By the same token, a person reaching for help may never receive that help, even though it is available, if someone does not become involved in bringing the needy in touch with the needed. "Involvement. That is the key. And in these two articles twe find people not afraid to become involved. These are the people, people like you and me who ultimately will bring about the desired end. Read these articles, think about them and remember, there is a multitude of negative involvement all around us and a sad lacking of positive involvement. We alone can change that." "Donald E. Kinsala". Fri. Maferh 28, 1969 - Plaindealer - Sec. 2, Pg. 5 I T)he IVotty, | I-- C li.nic ' Billy is a juvenile ember of a universal Mafia, for he is blackmailing his indulgent parents.

'Why doesn't she give him small helpings and then let him have seconds, if.he cleans his plate? " And he refuses to eat many types of food, just to cause a. theatrical performance at the table. "Dr. Crane, please tell parents how to launch a child upon the proper table habits!"

Many foods thus are neutral tastes, such as spinach, meat, bread, bananas, etc. And other items actually are negative or unpleasant at the start, such as spicy foods,pepper, whiskey and beer, unduly sour and bitter menu items. "But, Dr. Crane," you may protest, "how can anybody then learn to like the bitter taste of beer or enjoy hot sauce?" The answer is "transference!" If you slip the child a spoonful of the new food when the youngster is cooing or laughing and in a generalized jolly state, then some of this total happiness will transfer to the new taste quality. Praise the toddler and show him how his daddy relished the food. But don't give him too much on that first exposure. Work gradually. Most of the fondness for beer results from the mistaken notion by youth that big athletic he-men drink beer. That's why teen-agers actually may retch and make faces many times as they try to force the beer down the hatch. But their eagerness to advertise their he-man personality may mask their original natural distaste for beer. Same goes for cigarets and whiskey. But you parents of high chair toddlers mast be hard-boiled, which means, don't let the kiddies browbeat you! Ladle out their small portions and don't give them dessert or delicacies till they clean their plates. If they go on a hunger strike, don't panic for they caii go for days without food and not jeopardize their health. Don't let the child get the upp^r hand or you will be a victim of table theatricals and juvenile blackmail at every meal. Be smilingly firm and take the child away from the Jtable after you adults are finished. His normal hunger will soon make him surrender.

Set Text For Sunday Rite The Golden Text that will be read at services in McHenry Christian Science church this Sunday is from Psalms: "Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness." Passages to be read from the denominational textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, will include the following: "in the material world, thought has brought to light with great rapidity many useful wonders. With like activity have thought's swift pinions been rising towards the realm of the real, to the spiritual cause of those lower things which give impulse to inquiry." The subject of the Bible Lesson- Sermon is "Reality" and services at Christian Science society, Lincoln road and Eastwood lane, will begin at 10:30. All are welcome.
