EDITORIALS The Good Life One of the galling features of the good life in America is the ridiculously high prices of many drugs, medicines and pills. Those who travel abroad see first hand how high, comparatively, U.S. prices are for many of these items. Eye drops come to mind as an example. To buy one of today's leading eye drop solutions one pays a dollar or more for half an ounce! One suspects production costs of the solution are about ten cents or less. That brings to mind a famous breakfast drink-priced for along time now almost as high as coffeee. At last several chain stores began offering a competing product, which looks and tastes the same, for much less, with a nice profit still figured in. We know too that the public has long been bilked by cereal prices, perhaps ten cents more being charged for cereals with nutritional value (vitamins added)-vitamins which cost the producer a penny or two. ~ "Vl,-- In the present inflationary atmosphere too many prices have no relation to costs; let the buyer think, and beware. Women's Calling In this era when women, especially American women, read and hear so much hokum about their poor lot in life, the answer for most people is common sense. A glance around, at nature and the way life is, and how the Creator made it, is in order. Females are different from males, everywhere, in all forms of life. That's the way it always has been, always will be. They have a different role than that of males in life and nature. Yet being feminine is not second-class or inferior. Smart women, in fact, are glad they're women, and -feminine. Many two-bit psychologists, seeking fame, recognition or perhaps profits, are jcurrently offering plans and pro­ grams to free women. Politicians, likewise, are telling women what women's lib types want to hear (often not what the majority of women want to believe). Various women writers, leaders, etc., kick in with their almost total-con­ demnation of the system men made, under which we live t^day. Much of it is nonsense. Not all, and there are in jus iced. A glance around the world will show, however, that Amer­ ican women particluarly enjoy a better life than women any­ where else in the world. They are equal in the eyes of the law and also enjoy many advantages over males. Most of them, thankfully, know rearing a family and operating a home constitute a high calling, as an important profession, perhaps the most important, and know it's a rewarding one. In addition, it's one most women enjoy most. That's the way of nature and instinct in life as created on our planet. Discriminations should be eliminated of course, and there are also discriminations against males. But the cur- rent fad of painting the lot of females in America as a sorry one is misleading and disruptive and, if carried far enough, can wreck the cherished institution of the family, the foundation of a strong, orderly and united country. The Bureaucratic Army One of the greatest dangers facing the nation, one which could lead to serious dissatisfaction and disillusionment among millions, is the growth of the federal bureaucracy. President Nixon has moved to reduce the number of federal jobs thankfully--which the average taxpayer appreciates. But the huge federal bureaucracy will still be huge after these jobs are eliminated and because federal pay levels are high, and now rigged to regular increases, the tax load on the average citizen is enormous. Already more than half the defense budget is going into salaries--a far cry from conditions just a few years ago. Moreover, the bureaucrats are organized and both major Washington newspapers carry daily columns telling federal job holders who is doing what in Congress to get them more money and benefits. The latest minor sop comes from the Administration, which proposes to allow workers to carry more than thirty days annual leave into a new calendar year, and also to allow new employes to begin taking leave at any time after hiring, rather than wait the traditional ninety days. While this leave proposal is minor stuff, day in and day out Democratic and Republican politicians are appealing to the bureaucrats for votes by offering them more-to be paid for, of course, by the taxpayer. Tornado-What To Do ! muus fi • cc.̂ s.:i If you see a tornado ap­ proaching or hear a warning of one approaching, your im­ mediate action may mean the difference between life or death. Tornadoes do frightful damage, so precautions must be taken to minimize the storm's effects. Such objects as trees, building material and even cars are hurled through the air with awesome force. The sudden drop in pressure during tornadoes explodes buildings like punctured balloons and debris hurtles through the air like a javelin. In a city or town seek inside shelter, preferably in a strongly reinforced building. Stay away from windows. In homes, the corner of the basement toward the tornado usually offers greatest safety, particularly in frame houses. People in houses without basements can sometimes be protected by taking cover under heavy furniture against inside walls. Doors and win­ dows on the sides of the house away from the tornado may be opened to equalize the air pressure inside and help reduce damage to the building. Standing against the inside wall on a lower floor of an office building offers some protec­ tion. In factories and offices, on receiving a tornado warning, a lookout should be posted to keep safety officials advised of the tornado's approach. Ad-' vance preparation should be made io& moving workers to Social Security The appointment of William M. Biscomb as Social Security branch manager in Woodstock was announced recently by Allan Joy, Social Security manager in Waukegan. "Mr. Biscomb is the first manager permanently assigned to the Woodstock office, which opened in Sep­ tember, 1972," said Mr. Joy. He comes to Woodstock from Fort Wayne, Ind., where he had served that Social Security office as an operations supervisor for the past three years. Prior to that time, Mr. Biscomb had been assigned to the offices in Decatur and Elgin. Joy stated that Biscomb Sheriff Report sections of the plant offering the greatest protection. After the storm has passed, don't use the telephone except for an emergency and keep your radio or TV on for in­ formation and public in­ struction. Stay away from broken or low hanging power lines. Tell police or utility companies about them. Tornadoes occur in every state but most frequently in the central U.S. The number of tornadoes normally starts to increase in the Gulf states in February and reaches a peak there in March. The number increases during the spring and spreads northward into the Midwest, occurring there most often in May and June. The average tornado path is about 16 miles long and a quarter of a mile wide. Speeds range from 25 or 40 m.p.h., but have moved from stationary to 68 m.p.h. In most cases, they move from a westerly direc­ tion, usually from the South­ west. Most tornadoes are ac­ companied by thunderstorms, especially storms that deposit hailstones. Frequently two or more tornadoes appear in the same area, following more or less parallel paths. Usually seen as a rapidly rotating funnel-shaped cloud extending toward the ground from the base of a thundercloud, they vary in color from gray to black.

MANNERS Manners and the easy, natural expression of cour­ tesies are the stamp of civilized society. Courtesy, believe it or not, is what holds the world together. THE REWARDS OF COUR­ TESY At home, in school, in business, in politics, courtesy makes human relations fluent and graceful. The parent who trains his children to true standards of courtesy not only insures their future success and happiness, he also makes a very real contribution to our society's welfare. Courtesy is not merely a social lubricant to make human relations smooth and pleasant: Biscomb is originally from the upper peninsula of Michigan, is married and has two daughters. The Woodstock office is located at 224 W. Judd street and services all vf "McHefiry county. The phone number is 338-3750 and is open daily from 8i30 to 4:30. *' PAGE 13-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1973 EXAMPLE, THE BEST TEACHER The best way for parents t* teach courtesy to their children is to practice it themselves. The grace of speech and maimer that father and mother employ toward each other, their mutual consideration and regard, are quickly taken up by the children. Highest of all is the spiritual value of good manners. Translate the Golden Rule - "Do unto others as you would be done by" - into worldly terms, and what does it mean? Good manners. Don't let your child miss out in this most valuable part of his education. The schools can do something in this direction, but the biggest part of the job rests with you. Teachers are part- time parents, but parents are full-time teachers. One of the most important subjects in their curriculum is good manners. it saves people from the per­ sistent, nagging doubt of their own worth. That is why it is always so gratefully received. In a world of bruised and hurt egos, courtesy is a precious commodity. There is a need for it everywhere because everyone has his inferiority distresses. The dour boss who thunders his orders and the disgruntled scrubwoman who cleans his office have one thing in com­ mon: a feeling of inadequacy for the demands which life makes on them. Courtesy gives them comfort and inspiration and makes them do better. Smile at people, and they feel important. It's good to feel important, to think that you count. People are always ready to appreciate and reward the sincerely courteous person. This analysis of the place of courtesy in our society is worthy of a parent's study. Not all parents understand that courtesy gives a child ex­ traordinary advantages in the battle for success. Hardest! "My hardest job always comes before {breakfast." "What's that?" "Getting up."
