PG. 12- PIAINDEALER- WED. SEPT. 3, 1969 Slanted For Hometown Thirty years ago when the New York metropolitan area was served by a dozen established newspapers of national reputation, Miss Alicia Patterson decided that Long Island needed a newspap­ er of its own. In spite of warnings by experts that an attempt to start a new daily newspaper would result in disaster, Miss Patterson launched Newsday. The experts grossly underestimated the Pat­ terson instinct for understanding journalistic trends. As the great metropolitan newspapers have struggled, merg­ ed and often folded, Newsday has flourished, probably beyond the dreams of the late Miss Patterson. Today it carries up to 100 pages daily. Financially it is one of the soundest publica­ tions in the country. In content it is regarded as among the bet­ ter newspapers published. However, above all else, Newsday is still a hometown newspaper. The editors never forget that their readers are pri­ marily interested in Long Island. Problems of the Long Island Railroad, local crime, a boycott of stores by housewives, local school problems, and feature stories about local people are given play equal to national and international news. The emphasis is similar to that found in most small daily or weekly newspapers. However, it is the content of the vast amount of advertising which marks Newsday a hometown paper. It is supported by page after page of neighborhood retail advertising slapted specifically to the suburban shopper of Long Island. Dismal Prediction Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board William Martin recently told an international gathering of bankers that financial markets all over the world face a "collapse" unless there is a return to sound money principles. Though the Federal Reserve Boaid chairman has made other warnings in recent years, this is probably the most pessimistic note he has sounded on the economic future of the nation. Mr. Martin said the nation is now experiencing a "speculative binge" and he believes it will not be"cured" without pain and suffering. Many economists say another stockmarket crash, at least on the scale of the 1929 disaster, is impossible under present condi­ tions. Most forecasters believe there are too many floors under the economy for a crash to occur. Only time will reveal the answer, but the warning of the outgoing chairman of the FRB is worth consideration - even if one doesn't agree. Perhaps the major comfort in noting Martin's words is the fact that he blames inflation for producing present conditions; the Nixon Administration is moving against a continu­ ation of the inflationary spiral, and several of its spokesmen are predicting.a downturn in inflationary pressure in the second half of 1969.

P. / trmtt wr "•'.in'- Social Security QUESTION BOX BY JIM JANZ FIELD REPRESENTATIVE Today's questions are ones frequently being ask­ ed of our representatives by the people of McHenry county. The Social Secur­ ity office at 2500 Grand avenue, Waukegan, re­ minds McHenry county re­ sidents that it has repre­ sentatives meeting people at two locations in McHen­ ry county on a regular ba­ sis. The representatives are at the Woodstock Pub­ lic Library, 414 W. Judd, Woodstock every Wednes­ day from 9 a.m. to noon and at the Harvard city hall from 9:30 a.m. to noon on the first and third Tue­ sday every month. If you have a question you would like answered on Social Se­ curity in this column, then please forward it to Social Security Administration Question and Answer Col­ umn, 2500 Grand avenue, Waukegan, Illinois, 60085. Give your full name, ad­ dress, and Social Security number. If you do not want your name to appear, please indicate this and we will use only initials. Question: My husband and I both work full time. I've been told that I can receive Social Security retirement benefits only on his account. Is this true? Answer: No. As a wife, you are entitled to receive pay­ ments based upon your own work, or on your husband's re­ cord, whichever pays the high­ er amount. Question: Should I wish to re­ tire before my husband does, may I receive benefits on my own account even though my husband continues to work? Answer: Yes. As long as you are entitled on the basis of your own work the amount of your husband's income would have no effect on your right to benefits. Question: If the amount I now receive based upon my work is less than what I'd get on my husband's record when he re­ tires in the future, can I switch over to his account when he re­ tires? Answer: In effect, yes. When your husband retires, you will continue to receive the benefit amount based upon your own work. However, any additional amount you would be entitled MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS Stanley F. Yolles, M.D., Director National Institute of Mental Health PARENTS AND CHILDREN CAN HAVE HAPPY RELATIONS By Bertram S. Brown, M.D Deputy Director National Institute of Mental Health We hear so much these days about parents and children be­ ing on opposite sides of every­ thing that we sometimes wonder if anything ever goes right be­ tween them. Indeed it does! Fortunately, most parents have good instincts and most children have a hardy capacity to grow and flourish. In gen­ eral, if we hope the best for our children and can relax and raise them with some humor through the hardships of grow­ ing up, they will turn out to be quite mature and happy citi­ zens. The human being is a mar­ velous combination of strength and weakness. He is loving and hateful, angry and warm, selfish and considerate, happy and troubled, eager, timid, and bold. He is careful and impulsive, foolish and wise. To the degree that he does not suffer from lack of love and nurturing, maternal depri­ vation, neglect or smothering, parental conflict and neuroses, or sudden loss and separation, he is able to achieve stability. We know that the young do not thrive under neglect, abuse, rejection (open or implied), in­ ordinate demands, hate, over- protection or exploitation. Some elements of healthy rearing such as these can be learned and applied, to be sure. But, as parents, we serve the child best as models, not as di­ rectors, of his unfolding years. The scenes of well-meaning parenthood are already too cluttered with advice, counsel, shoulds and should nots. Some to on his account will be add­ ed to your check. Question: I have just receiv­ ed my Medicare card. Some tell me I should put it in a safety deposit box for safe ke­ eping while others suggest I always carry it with me. What do you suggest? Answer: Your Medicare card should always be carried with you. Should it be lost, notify the Social Security office and a replacement will be mailed to you. mirrrm in inn rii i rrn rnrrrii i imnr : Are Yov New Is TOWN? Do You Know Someone New In Town?

Modern science can tell us, for example, about various signs of mental and emotional illnesses in children. Most parents can usually handle the ups and downs of their growing charges. But, on occasion, if a situation is per­ sistent and puzzling, they can and should turn, without fear, shame, or postponement, to a trained pjrson for help. In research on human growth and development, science has underscored the essentials, what a child needs to mature in a mentally healthy way. We know that he needs affection, a feel­ ing of security, that he can de­ pend on those around him. He needs a feeling of personal sig­ nificance--an assurance that he is a "Somebody" and can amount to something. He needs a chance to learn, to live through his own growing pains. Once having done so, he may, like his own parents, con­ tribute to the healthy growth of his own children, in his own style.

I McHENRY • S for A\ I THE I I BEST I BARGAINS J . seim- r tUL B McCLORY REPORTS From Washington With the oldest Monday holi­ day -- Labor Day -- behind us, it is well to review what has occurred relative to the so-cal­ led Monday Holiday Act pass­ ed during the last n Congress,, and which becomes effective Jan. 1,1971. It will" be recalled that the Monday Holiday Act, sponsor­ ed by this member of Congress designated four Monday holi­ days in addition to Labor Day (the first Monday in Septem­ ber). Beginning In 1971, fed­ eral offices and employees will observe Washington's Birthday on the third Monday to Febru­ ary, Memorial Day on the last Monday in May, Colun&us Day on the second Monday In ber, and Veterans' Day on' fourth Monday in October. The effective date of the Act was postponed until 1971 to enable the states to enact complemen­ tary legislation as well as to permit calendar manufactur­ ers, school boards, businesses and others to prepare for the new Monday holiday observan­ ces. Of the forty-six states which have held legislative sessions this year, thirty-seven have en­ acted laws substantially iden­ tical with the Federal Monday Holiday Act. Two other states, California and Alabama, are expected to enact laws later this year. Four states have held no legislative sessions since the passage of the federal law, that leaves a mere seven states which, for one reason or anoth­ er, have failed, so far, to act favorably on this subject. Sponsored by State Senator Egbert Groen and supported actively by Senator Robert E. Coulson, as well as Represen­ tatives John Connolly, John He­ nry Kleine, Daniel Pierce and Thomas Hanahan, the Illinois General Assembly passed a Monday holiday measure iden­ tical with the federal law dur­ ing the last session. This bill was approved by Gov. Richard Ogilvie on May 13. It is expected that all fifty states will take positive action to endorse the Monday Holiday Act so that citizens throughout the nation may enjoy five long weekends during 1971, and in subsequent years. Indeed, by virtue of the 1971 calendar, a total of nine long weekends will become available, since New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas also fall on week­ ends, or at the beginning or end of the work week. The Monday holiday legisla­ tion will enable many families and individuals to enjoy long weekends away from home. This aspect, of course, poses the danger that those who drive to vacation spots will risk acci­ dents on the highways with the consequence that a joyous holi­ day may end up as a tragedy. However, given the added time for driving to and from vaca­ tion or historical spots, the RECORD PRICE "Parnelli", a 1040-pound black Aberdeen Angus steer, was named the grand champion of the 1969 Illinois State Fair. Owned and shown by Jim And­ erson, 16, of Ohio, I1L, the steer later was sold at auction for a record price of $5,500. The previous high price of $5,- 000 was paid in 1967, the first year of the auction. Last year's champion brought $3600. 55x5nxixixixixxxxxixixppiixixixiiX535EEEPi If you're coming to Chicago for a rest don't crane to Sherman House. There's too much happening at Sherman House. For instance, there's the famous College Inn, headlining the most exciting names in show business. And to go with the College Inn, Chicago's most lively and memorable restaurants and lounges--the Well of the Sea, the Celtic Cafe, the Dome and the Scuttlebutt. So if you're coming to Chicago to be turned-on, not off, come to Sherman House. And leave the rest to us. number of serious accidents should decline. In addition, it is expected that many families will elect to spend the added holiday time at home and enjoy the recreation and togetherness which this well-intended legis­ lation will permit. What began several year sago as an interesting idea now has been translated into a federal law as well as state laws in all but a few states. Citizens of Massachusetts, Oklahoma, So. Carolina, So. Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin who are interested in imple- menting the Federal Monday holiday law in their own states should plan to work closely with their state legislators for passage of Monday holiday leg­ islation during their States' leg­ islative sessions later this year or in 1970.
