•v / SECTION 1-PAGE 10-PLAINDEALER-MAY 3, 1972 EDITORIALS Bilingual Schools The demand is heing increasingly hoard among various immigrant groups for bilingual schools. And many liberals, moralists and do-gooders have Iven duped into support i n g t h e i d e a t h a t i m m i g r a n t s m u s t b e g i v e n b i l i n g u a l schools so the\ will enj<n equal rights and opportunit> in America. However. America is not an international territory dedi­ cated to all citizens of all countries, ll is an English- language nation, of basiealls Anglo-Saxon law (the most equitable in the world) which allows hundreds' of thousands of immigrants to enter annualh. These immigrants have certain responsibilities to all Americans and to the nation, if they would live here. One is tin1 o I) I i gat ion to learn to speak the country's language. If the\ don't. the> c an never full> understand the nation's laws, its histor\. its Constitution and heritage-- in short, the democratic process and tradition which is part of our nation, ll the> do not understand these tilings they cannot become the most desirable kind of citizens, which any nation has a right and an obligation to ask. Setting up bilingual schools only postpones, or makes unnecessary , the learning of English. It keeps some groups in mental bondage to the old country or churches when they should instead l>eoome American citizens considering the nation and its laws and Constitution first, as every immi­ grant swears to do in Ijeeoming an American. Nor can immi­ grants advance as easily and quickly, socialh or economi­ cally, if thin do not learn English. Further, the growth of non-English speaking blocs is djvisive. Rather than encouraging the growth of blocs which don't speak English by establishing bilingual schools, the emphasis should U> placed on state and fed­ eral aid to immigrants in the learning of the language of the government. In the final analysis, it is the obligation of every American to learn to speak the language of this nation. Survival Investment Doctors, beauty experts, husbands, wives, and conscience are advising Americans to eat less and less. Against this awesome array, the food business would seem to be in a helpless situation. But such is not the case. Food distributors expect sales to in­ crease eight per cent in 1972. True, individuals may be eating less in quantity. But a change in quality results in greater profits and an increased sales volume. Tlie food processors are optimistic because they believe in research ana advertising. Ninety per cent of the American food manufacturers introduce new products each year. For this purpose they are increasing txidgets of their research departments Dy an average of six per cent annually. The manufacturers predict that an increase in national ad­ vertising of ten per cent is necessary to gain public acceptance of the new products this year "However, retailers at the point of sale stand to benefit, or lose, in relationship to their own advertising effort. We can win approval of a good product, but we cannot guide a prospect to a particular grooer," a representative of national food company asserts. 'TSrocers who handle better products, which can be sold more efficiently at higher unit cost, must expect continuous increase in local advertising. It is a necessary survival investment," he said Cosmetics Secrets A major cosmetics manufacturer has agreed to furnish customers, upon request, a list of ingredients used in the muck and goo compounds used by so many millions of women. For years critics have called for a law to require cosmetics manufacturers to print a full list of ingredients on every container. The cosmetics industry has stuck to its secrecy, even though it's now known that some 60,000 American women annually suffer cosmetics eye injuries from reactions to ingredients used in cosmetics While the announcement of one manufacturer that, upon request, this information would be furnished is progress, it is not sufficient progress Consumers should be more adequately protected by law NOW.

For Your Information Dear friends, A friend asked, if a person dies who was eligible for both veterans benefits and Social Security, can he collect both the burial all­ owance from the 'V.A. and the death benefit from Social Security. The answer is 'yes' as the S.S. death benefit is intended for the survivors and is not necessarily a burial allowance. Respectfully, u/d. PETER M. JUSTE* & SON FUNEPAL HOME McHenry, Illinois , 385-0063 V m SOCIAL SECURITY by John K. Watkins 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 residents 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 Tues­ day 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 intitiaIs. Question: I lost my Medicare card Do I need to get a replacement card or can I just have my doctor or the hospital call a Social Security office if I need to confirm my coverage? A.M. - McHenry Answer: You should replace your Medicare card im­ mediately. Call or write any Social Security office to get a replacement. Question: I recently started a new job. Since I lost my original Social Security card several years ago, I showed my employer a metal plate that has my number on it. But my employer wouldn't accept the plate and insisted I get a duplicate card. Why wouldn't he just use the number shown on the plate9 L.R. - McHenry Answer: The number on your metal plate could be wrong If your employer had accepted this number and it was wrong, your earnings would be reported under a wrong number. Then if you or members of your family needed to apply for "benefits, there could be some delay or difficulty in getting credit for the earnings because they had been incorrectly reported Question: I recently moved here and I noticed my Social Security number is a lot dif- PUBLIC PULSE (The Plaindealer invites the public to use this col­ umn as an expression of their views on subjects of general interest in our community.

QUESTIONS NEW ROAD "Dear Sir: "In developing a new sub­ division north of McHenry, which is adjacent to the Shalimar and Orchard Beach subdivisions, a road is going to be improved in such a manner that I question its common sense and its respect for the environment. This planned improvement has been ac­ cepted and sanctioned by McHenry county authorities and the McHenry township road supervisor as part of the development of Maretta Estates. "A portion of Kama avenue between Sterling drive and Orchard Beach road is going to be improved into a two-lane road. As currently planned, this improvement has two con­ sequences. Foremost, it will create a dangerous safety hazard and a bottleneck when the improved two-lane Kama avenue meets the one-lane "Private Road" Kama avenue just east of Mogra drive. As a direct result of this im­ provement the children who now play in this area will no longer be safe to play near the roadside. Cars traveling at a fast rate of speed on the im­ proved portion will be forced to suddenly slow down and curve sharply to enter the one-lane portion. It appears to me that it was not very careful planning to create a situation that could easily cause accidents and injure the children of the neigh­ borhood "Secondly, this improvement will destroy trees and shrubs along its route that have been there for many, many years. The Shalimar area is an old community and one that gets part of its character from this time honored landscape. ferent from the numbers of my co-workers at the office. Should I get a new number in this area9 K.W.-McHenry Answer: No. Your Social Security number never changes. You should use the same number all your life no matter where you live. ^iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinimiiii 1 K0ENEMANN | Country Made Sausages, | Hams and Bacon |GERMAN IMPORTS AND CHEESES I A Full Line Of 1 Delicatessen K n o w ^ J ? - \ '™* f^Vtealfier Economic Questions Stabilization Answers Internal Revenue Service I would like to offer a two­ fold solution. One, end the road improvement at the in­ tersection of Kama and Mogra drive with a stop sign each way on Kama. This would protect the intersection and also end the improvement at a more sensible spot. As now designed, the road improvement would end fifty feet past the in­ tersection. Two, move the path of the road about six feet to the south. This would allow the natural setting of the area to remain intact. Also, it would not cause a legal problem to the developer because none of the lots along Kama have been sold. "I believe in progress and feel that developments such as this new subdivision are good for McHenry. However, I mink that a common sense plan which incorporates progress into the existing residential environment rather than destroying it is far better and more valuable to the com­ munity as a whole. "If the township road supervisor takes the initiative now, he can stop this/un­ fortunate mistake. "Edward R. Brozman "2710 Kama Avenue "McHenry" Why is weather called a westerly affair in the United States? Weather in this country generally moves from west to east. That is, the move­ ment of fronts and the pre­ vailing direction of the gas laver (which is our weather) is from west to east. This movement averages five or six hundred miles on a normal day. Winds do not steadily come from the west because weather moves in a circular motion, even as it drifts eastward. Therefore, winds might come from any direction, while the weather is still moving east. If you know whether a low p r e s s u r e a r e a i s p a s s i n g (counterclockwise winds) or a high pressure system (clockwise) you can deter­ mine your position in the circular movement by watch­ ing the direction of the wind and its changes. This column of questions and answers on the President's Economic Stabilization Program is provided by the local office of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and is published as a public service. The column answers questions most frequently asked about wages and prices. Q. What does the IRS do when it finds a retail posting violation? A. If an IRS agent finds that a retailer is in violation of the base price posting requirements, the agent in­ forms the retailer that he must comply and explains the requirements to him. If a subsequent visit by the IRS shows no compliance, the retailer receives a notice of violation which gives him 48 hours in which to request an appointment with the IRS District Director's represen­ tative for Stabilization. If the retailer doesn't request such a meeting or fails to post after meeting with the District Director's representative, the case is referred to the local Assistant U.S. Attorney who decides whether or not to prosecute. Q. Does the fact that a company has rolled back an illegal price increase after investigation by the IRS prevent subsequent court action against the firm? A. No. Court action can be initiated against a firm which has violated stabilization regulations even if the com­ pany has previously rolled back the illegal increase. Q. My golf club recently raised dues $5. Can they do this? A. If your golf club is a non­ profit, tax exempt organization, the dues it charges are exempt from price controls. If the organization is not tax exempt, it is subject to the stabilization regulations for service organizations. Generally, this means that it can raise prices to cover WHO KNOWS! 1.

The organization itself or your IRS office will be able to tell you whether it is tax exempt or not. Q. Where can I get a list of all the items exempt from controls under the Economic Stabilization program? A. IRS Publication S-7, "Items not Controlled," lists the items exempt from Phase II controls as of Jan. 31, 1972, and explains many of the reasons why they have been exempted. You can obtain a copy free by mailing a postcard to your IRS district office. Q. I will be moving into an apartment on May 1. On Feb. 1, 1972, the previous tenant had signed a year's lease on which the landlord had increased the rent 2Vfe percent to cover his costs, but this tenant had to break the lease. The landlord says that because I am a new tenant, he may now increase the rent under the new lease by an additional 2V2 percent to cover his costs. Is this per­ mitted under stabilization regulations? A. No. Stabilization regulations only permit an increase of 2xk percent of base rent for a given residence to cover a landlord's cost with respect to each 12-month period beginning after Dec. 28, 1971 - regardless of a change of tenants. Q. Did the "catch-up" ex­ ception to the Pay Board's 5.5 percent wage and salary standard expire on March 31, 1972? A. No. The Pay board has approved a resolution ex­ tending from March 31, 1972 to June 30, 1972 the expiration of "catch-up" criteria for ex­ ception to its basic 5.5 percent guideline. The "catch-up" provision specifies that, if increases during the previous three years averaged less than seven percent, wage and salary in­ creases of as much as seven percent per year may be allowed in new contracts.
