Sec.2, Pg.6-Plaindealer-Tues., Nov.25,1969 DiTORIAlS The Under-Advertisers (On this day in November we give JTtanks unto "U nde r - advertisers" are business firms that take ben­ efits and profits from consis­ tent advertisers in the local community. Who are the Under-adverti- sers? A content analysis made by the Department of Journalism at the University of Mississippi reveals that they are many and varied in the typical community. Relative to their importance in the economy of the local trade area some of the most frequents Under- advertisers are: Industries which employ large numbers of local peo­ ple and depend upon good com­ munity relations for efficient and trouble-free operation. Numerous small shops whose business comes largely from overflow customers of large ad­ vertisers. Large holders of real estate, especially wooded areas, who may suffer great loss from poor community relations. Independent grocers who do not seem to realize how easily they may compete with chain supermarkets when the ex- tensiveness of their extra ser­ vices are known. Restaurants who are losing much of the growing "eating- out* business to nationally ad­ vertised establishments. Hardware stores who have more to sell than ever, but are often regarded by the public as relics of the past. Insurance agencies and other services who have both public relations and competitive prob­ lems equal to those of industry and retailers. Of course, the U'nder-adver- tisers are not the same from community to community. But where they do exist, they are really free-loading on the reg­ ular advertisers who keep the local economy healthy. , McCLORY REPORTS From Washington defeat.

There are those who are adept at conversational gossip, there are those who can spin interesting yarns and hold their listeners in rapt attention, and there are those who have big-booming voices and who command respect, even though they seldom say any­ thing. The man or woman who has a graduate degree in the art of gossip, innuendo, tease, and general devilment is an interesting conversationalist, even though he or she usually tends to be sarcastic or cynical and is also usually guilty of berating prac­ tically everyone around. And gossip in its purest form is inher­ ently a disease and can do as much harm in our community as anything we know. The point of all this talk about talking is that it is what is said that is important, and not how it is said, or the volume in which it is said.

McHenry 385-1469 Food establishments, tav­ erns, grocery stores and lod­ ges in the villages of Fox Ri­ ver Grove and Huntley have been inspected for the first time by the McHenry County Health department at the re­ quests of the villages. Follow- up inspections are being made to insure that items listed on the first inspection reports are being corrected. The large ma­ jority of establishments in­ spected were found to be in sat­ isfactory condition. Problem establishments are receiving close attention. Two individuals, both co- owners of a house with a non­ functioning septic system, were arrested for failing to correct the problem. Both individuals were first given every oppor­ tunity to correct the prob­ lem before this action was ta­ ken. A sanitary inspection of the home was also made at the re­ quest of another county officer. A sanitary inspection of a home in a municipality was made at the request of the vil­ lage. Six children were found to be living in a very unsan­ itary home. Every floor, wall and ceiling in the house was dirty, clothes littered the floors, grease covered the stove and the septic system was overflowing. Photos were ta­ ken and the report was given to the village for further ac­ tion. Another individual was ar­ rested for failing to correct a malfunctioning septic sys­ tem. Sewage was running into a highway ditch and standing in the yard in a trench. This in­ dividual was also given every opportunity to correct the prob­ lem. He was fined and ordered by the court to correct the problem in two weeks. A family was evicted from their home after failing to cor­ rect a large septic system fail­ ure which had filled their back yard with sewage. Again they were given many weeks to re­ pair the septic system, but they failed to do so. A tavern in a municipality was closed by the village at the request of this department. The kitchen walls were brown with grease, the floor had a 1/8" build-up of dirt, food prep­ aration equipment was filthy and sewage ran across the basement floor from an open sewer line. Two tarea bakeries were in­ spected and various unsanitary conditipns revealed. One bakery had evidence of insects pre­ sent in the flour and inade­ quate washing facilities for the MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS Through the Courtesy of the Family Service and Mental Health Clinic of McHenry County. DETECTING DISORDERS EARLY Detecting emotional and men­ tal disorders in their very early stages--and preventing their further development--can be a most important part of a good school health program. Training school personnel to this end is therefore the sub­ ject of support by the Division of Manpower Training Pro­ grams of the National Institute of Mental Health. Promising among examples of new endeavors thus aided is a recently launched program by the Rochester, N.Y. public schools and the University of Rochester. An earlier pilot project showed that encourag­ ing results could be obtained. Not only will school pro­ fessional personnel be trained to work in the new program, but also housewives, inner-city residents, high school dropouts, and retired people. Then a mental illness preven­ tion program will be developed, patterned initially after the pilot project, and set in motion in about 12 Rochester elementary schools. The program which the newly trained workers will de­ velop will include early per­ sonality evaluation of first grade children. This will be based both on testing and on teacher observation. There will also be social work interviews with mothers of school children. These will be designed to assess the climate for learning and growing pro­ vided by the family--and also to introduce the school as a helping factor. * Then, it is expected, the pro­ gram will detect and spot those who give evidence of existing or beginning emotional prob­ lems. For these children, the fol- lowup to help them includes after-school day-care activities, psychiatric consultations as needed, teacher-parent meetings, and counselling of the child's teachers, parents, and others. The pilot project showed that children with early emotional problems who were handled in this way were doing signifi­ cantly better in school several years later than students whose problems were detected, but who did not receive this kind of special handling. For Your Information' Dear friends, The first Thanksgiving would have been im­ possible but for the generous sharing of food by the Indians. Now that our country is blessed with food in abundance, it behooves us to share with impoverished nations and, more important, to teach them production techniques that have made our country so abundant. Such practical Christianity is needed to evolve a world thank­ ful for Christ and for freedom. Sincerely, v MtM•nry, Illinois PETER MJUSTEN & SON FUNERAL HOME 385-0063 employees. The second bakery was in worse shape. The san­ itary facilities were unusable and in a very dirty condition. Reinspection is being made to evaluate progress. A local department store with a history of faulty dishwasher and improperly constructed food preparation room vyas in­ spected and a letter to the dis­ trict food manager resulted in their promise to remedy the situation. The dishwasher has been repaired and a report on their remodeling of the food preparation room is expected soon. A summer home which had been unoccupied for a long per­ iod of time was inspected. The inspection revealed an un­ finished septic system and a yard abundant with trees and brush. The septic tank was fully exposed and not in use. The home had been red tagged by the Building and Zoning department for some time. Upon notifica­ tion , the owner agreed to com­ plete the septic system and cut the trees and brush. Work is presently being done and much .improvement can be noticed. At present, two channels and one home pond are being check­ ed for any pollution. Surface water samples are being col­ lected and visual checking of the septic systems of houses along the channels is being made. Any suspicious systems are being dye tested to detect fail­ ures. Two faulty septic systems have been noted, one in each channel. Cooperation with the Health department has been ex­ cellent. The city of Algonquin re­ quested help with an individual septic failure which involved septic and laundry wastes draining into spring water flow and being carried down a road­ side, across another road and into the river. The spring is located in the people's base­ ment and correction will in part involve diversion of the spring's flow along with repair of the laundry and septic waste sys­ tems. This One message came through loud and clear at the recent Inter-parliamentary Un­ ion Conference in New Delhi, India: that world order depends upon an America united behind President Nixon's quest for • Peace. Even the most rabid doves among members of the Parlia­ ment of non-aligned India are apprehensive about a precipi­ tate and summary withdrawal of U.S. forces from Vietnam and other parts of the Far East. Members of the Parliaments of Thailand, Burma, South Kor­ ea, Indonesia, Japan and other Asiatic countries are nearly unanimous in their prediction that complete withdrawal of American military support from the Far East will bring about their nations' absorption by Communist China. Prime Ministers, Foreign Ministers and other parliamentary lea­ ders with whom this member of Congress spoke were neither threatening nor demanding. But they spoke with candor and con­ viction -- and from experience. It Was heartening to find gen­ eral acknowledgment of the need for increased programs of self- help, particularly in the areas of well-trained military ground forces. Political leaders of South Vietnam, Thailand, South Korea and Japan all expressed themselves in support of this part of the Nixon Doctrine. How­ ever, they are also relying on the President's assurance that the United States will fulfill its treaty commitments such as SEA TO. Prime Minister Sato of Japan, who heads the strongest nation, economically, in the Far East, was queried by this mem­ ber as to the impact on Jap­ an of the President's program to reduce our nation's involvement in Asia. Mr. Sato responded emphatically "I hail President Nixon's program of relations with the Asian nations." Prime Minister Sato, who is meeting this week with Pres­ ident Nixon, also has a radical and sometimes violent minor­ ity with which to contend. But the overwhelming majority of the Japanese, as well as the vast majority of Asians outside of Red China, relish no part of comiyqlhisinfcAlpyd. they yeanrn for continue*:dose and peace­ ful rtlatiornPlWith the United States and other nations of the Free World. President Nixon recognizes the strength of this popular opinion in nations where opin­ ions may be freely expressed. Indeed, a failure on the part of the American people to apprec­ iate this fact would seem to be one of the greatest blunders in our history. Those who are de­ termined not to unite behind the President are relying upon highly emotional arguments for the most part. But such argu­ ments should not form the basis for a substantial part of the for­ eign policy of this nation. Members of the Parliaments of many European as well as Asian nations with whom this member came in contact re­ cently are concerned about A- merica and its ability to unite behind President Nixon's pro­ gram for Peace. They are ask­ ing whether the American peo­ ple will heed the fervent appeal of the President when he de­ clared: "Let us be united for peace. Let us also be united against ANSWER NEITHER RAIN NOR SNOW KEEPS 4 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER FROM REACHING YOU GET YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TODAY EldEliltl gsss Are You New In Town?
