C. --The season is still young and not until about All-Star time will the 1972 pattern of power be apparent. But there are a few hints which can now be taken into account. In the National League Montreal and Philadelphia are comers. Montreal might have been the biggest sur­ prise of early season play. The Mets under Yogi Berra look strong. Pittsburgh and San Francisco have failed to live up to advance billing. Los Angeles and Houston began well; Houston is a long-shot flag hope. In the American League Boston began weakly, De­ troit strongly and Cleveland looked better than in 1971. Oakland appeared strong even before Vlda Blue signed. Minnesota was a strong surprise at the outset a n d C h i c a g o a l s o l o o k e d solid. Texas seems better balanced this year. The pennant races this year might be multi-teamed in all four divisions. Detroit and Baltimore might have it all to themselves in the American east and Oakland could run away in the west but that doesn't seem likely in the last half of the season. . In the National east no team is likely to run away from the pack; Los Angeles has the best chance to pull away in the west. GOLF • * • BY PETE FRITCHIE Washington, D. C.--Now comes the Japs with a golf tournament which proposes to be the richest in the world. Leading the nations of the globe in so many fields, the Japanese now are bidding to move into pro­ fessional golf tournaments in a big way. The news from Tokyo is that the Ja£>s are planning a Pacific Masters, which will offer $300,000 in prize money and feature the best golfers in the world. The tourney is to be played during the first of October this year at the Taiheiyo Club. Since the richest tourna­ ment in the United States is the Jackie Gleason $260,000 event, it follows that the Tokyo go will be the great­ est money match in golfdom if the take isn't raised by some U. S. tournament. This is not bad for U. S. or international golf. In fact, what golf can use--and base­ ball also--is more stress on international competition. International competition al­ w a y s i n c r e a s e s i n t e r e s t , soccer being the prime ex­ ample. The world soccer champi­ onship every four years re­ mains the biggest sports at­ traction on earth. American Legion Baseball TRYOUTS! Boys who want to play Legion ball this year will practice next Sunday, May 28 at the A.P. Freund Field. Be there at 1 o'clock. In connection with the passage last week of the amendments to the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, the U.S. House of Representatives increased the minimum wage rate for non-agricultural employees to $2 an hour beginning in 1973. The overall measure will affect some 34 million American workers, some of whom (an estimated 3 million) will receive added compensation by reason of this change in the Federal law. However, others will simply lose their jobs -- and still others will be excluded from entering the job market by reason of these minimum wage provisions. Most of the support in behalf of minimum wage legislation comes from labor union leadership whose members receive far more than the minimum wage provided in the amended bill. Their support for such legislation is motivated by (a) compassion for low- salaried, non-union employees and (b) the more selfish hope that, if minimum wages are raised, this will in turn result in increases for them. It requires very little in- 1972 MEN'S 16" SOFTBALL LEAGUE SCHEDULE 1. PARKVIEW 2. OLD BRIDGE 3. HETTERMAN'S 4. BAVARIAN HAUS 5. JAKE'S 6. McHENRY WELL & PUMP 7. CARL'S 8.

Many at the lower levels of the economic ladder are employed in positions which include job-training as well as the performance of useful service These marginal jobs serve extremely important economic and social needs. The staggering rate of unem­ ployment among young people, and particularly young blacks, shows the damage which can be attributed in part to minimum wage laws which preclude these young and disadvantaged individuals from entering the job market or from enhancing to some degree their economic independence. In a letter written some months ago by John A. Renick of the Social Science depart­ ment of the North Chicago high school, the fallacy of minimum wage laws was dealt with directly and convincingly. As Mr Renick declared:". . .'minimum wage laws' are a chief cause of the dispropor­ tionately high unemployment levels among blacks, especially teenagers." Mr. Renick cited as one of this authorities Presdent W. Allen Wallis of the University of Rochester, who declared that ". . .'minimum wage laws' are in effect, though not in intention, among the most anti-Negro of laws." Some indication of the effect of minimum wage legislation may be revealed in the recent publication of the U.S. Department of Labor which shows a 34 percent drop in black employment as V F W 4600 INVITES YOU TO THIS ANNUAL SHINDIG. TO BE HELD th JUNE 7 AT THE VFW GROUNDS 3200 W RTE 120 McHENRY, ILL BEEF MONTH The Illinois beef story is one of improvement, expansion and specialization. The day of raising a couple of young beeves for home use is slowly disap­ pearing and beef producers are becoming more technical and specialized. Today's appetizing beef is nutritious and economical. Genetic improvements have put younger animals on the market with more lean meat and less fat. Beef producers have accelerated their breeding programs to ac­ commodate the consumer's demands. New intensified meat inspection programs guarantee homemakers of wholesome meat. Beef remains one of the most economical foods to buy In 1929, it took one hour of work to buy 1.7 pounds of round steak, today, that same hour buys 2.5 pounds. Specialization is helping raise beef more economically. Large feedlots are taking over the job of supplying beef- market demands. Even with c o m p u t e r i z e d f e e d i n g household employees and a 61 percent drop among black farm workers, as well as a 9 percent reduction among blacks in the unskilled labor force. Mean­ while employment of whites in these categories, except household help, has increased sharply. While the nation strives to reduce unemployment among all citizens, it would be well to face up directly to the 35 per­ cent unemployment rate among non-white youths. The measure which would raise the hourly minimum wage will simply increase unemployment of this group. If we want seriously to try to reduce unemployment among teenagers, and particularly among young blacks, we should discourage such action as boosting minimum wages. techniques and expanded facilities, beef prices are still within most everyone's reach. Illinois ranks seventh in the nation in cattle on feed. More than 2.5 million head of beef are fed out in the Prairie State to help Illinois retain its world­ wide reputation for corn-fed beev**s. May has been declared as Illinois Beef Month in a salute to the state's beef industry. It honors every aspect of the industry from the cow-calf producer, the commercial feeder, the purebred breeder, to the consumer. Programs for the month are designed to help promote Illinois corn-fed beef and beef products. BEEF BEAUTY PAGEANT The newly-formed Illinois Beef auxiliary, along with the Illinois Beef Industry council and local county organizations, is sponsoring a four-area Illinois Beef Beauty Pageant to be held in conjunction with Beef Month in May The queen candidates should have a farm background and a working knowledge of the beef industry, be able to meet the public easily, be able to travel to beef promotion events in Illinois during the coming year, and most of all be an en­ thusiastic promoter of Illinois Beef. Homer White, Antioch, of the McHenry County Livestock Feeders organization, an­ nounced that there will be four area Illinois Beef Beauty Pageants in Illinois during May. May 24 - Carbondale; May 25 - Springfield; May 26 - Galesburg; and May 27 - DeKalb. SPIDER MITES Spider mites have hatched on e v e r g r e e n s , e s p e c i a l l y junipers Such shrubs should be watched closely for yellowing or browning of the toliagc. An easy way to detect the presence of these mites is to hold a sheet of white paper under a branch and vigorously tap it. Watch for small specks that will crawl slowly on the paper For treatment, use dicfol (Kelthane). It is strictly a miticide. Follow the directions on the label for preparing the spray mixture. GROUNDCOVERS Like any ornamental tiee or shrub, ground cover plantings become a permanent part of the home landscape. Thorough preparation of the planting area is a must. Work the soil lo a depth of 8 to 10 inches and incorporate a two-inch layer of compost, well- rotted manure or peat moss. Also incorporate l1^ to 2 pounds per 100 square feet of 10-10-10 or 12-12-12. Destroy perennial weeds. Most ground covers won't compete with established weeds. LAUNCHSTUDY A 12-week full-time study of business practices of the state's public schools has been laun­ ched by 61 business executives at the request of Gov. Richard B Ogilvie. Ogilvie appealed to the executives, on loan from their companies at no cost to Illinois taxpayers, to pinpoint the millions of dollars in savings believed possible. The Department of Local Govern­ ment is to make a concurrent study of local property assessment processes in all counties of more than 200,000 population.
