V PAGE 10-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, JUNE20, 1973 EDITORIALS Seizing Upon Scandal Democrats, critics of the Administration,and many who have long demeaned the President, are now enjoying the prospect of a year or two of Watefgate investigation, sen­ sation, scandal and entertainment. The Senate investigating committee will finish its hear­ ings long before the new Justice Department investigator, Archibald Cox, completes a more thorough investigation into the entire 1972 political campaign. Cox thinks his in­ vestigation could last a year or more- Then there are the court cases, which will also be ifi the limelight for some time,because they affect many indi­ viduals. All this resulting from the attempt to bug Demo­ cratic headquarters and the attempted coverup by high of­ ficials! In this atmosphere newsmen who have opposed Mr. Nixon over the years are currently seizing upon every possible tidbit to impress a scandal-hungry public. Thus one David Rosenbaum writing in the New York Times reports that Senators seemed astonished to hear that Leonard Garment and General Alexander Haig, at the White House, had put forward suggested names for the special Justice Depart­ ment Watergate investigator. Why should they be astonished? The men suggested were good men--former Senator John Williams of Delaware and former Governor Edmund Brown of California, a Democrat. There was nothing improper about Garment or Haig throw­ ing their names into the pot. The implication, of course, is that something's wrong in suggestions from White House officials. And that's what's unfortunate about the overkill of Watergate. There are too many politicians and others utilizing it for selfish ends and political advantage, long after everyone concerned has agreed on the stupidity, illegality and serious wrongdoing of the culprits, who are certainly going to be punished. Separating The Men... Bobby Riggs, an old tennis pro, performed a service to the nation recently when he demonstrated the difference between the sexes--in tennis. Riggs, 55, offered to take on the best woman tennis player in the world to demonstrate that female tennis is not be be considered in the same class as men's tennis. Margaret Court, the most popular and ladylike of the top women tennis players, and probably the best of them, gal­ lantly accepted Riggs' challenge. He demolished her 6-2, 6-1. So what? No chivalrous male will delight in the lady's humiliating defeat. But there is one undeniable fact the contest demonstrated. There is a difference between the the sexes. With radical women libbers demanding this and that and trying to be men--against the wishes of most American women by the way--it's good to remind ourselves of the difference, which the Creator must answer for. The world has acknowledged that difference for cen­ turies, and laws and privileges and courtesies are based on it, sometimes unfairly, but often sensibly. To wipe them all off the books and pretend that women and men are the same and that the best thing for the nation is to treat them identically, admitting no difference, is, of course, unreal­ istic. Limiting Noise Level The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, recently affirmed that only Congress can limit the level of noise from jets landing at airports across the country. The decision means Burbank, California, may not close down its airport from 11 p.m. to 7 in the morning--which closure produced the test case. The decision also means other cities are barred from en­ forcing similar regulations or enacting them. The high court held Congress had delegated this power to the Federal Aviation Authority and the Environmental Protection Agen­ cy, and that only they, or Congress, may limit jet noise at airports. * The ruling, in effect, turns over to Congress the respon­ sibility for setting reasonable noise level standards at air­ ports. Unless the FAA or EPA act beforehand, Congress should move promptly to protect the rights of those who live in the vicinity of major airports by limiting the permis­ sible level of noise. Otherwise, more and more Americans will find their homes untenable, and, often, unsaleable. To The Graduate June, 1973, is to be the first month of post-school life for millions of young Americans.Since they enter the stage of life at a time when there is much printed and spoken abuse of their country and its government, a word on the U.S. record is in order. Our country's constitutional republican form of govern­ ment has survived in its present form longer than any other in the world. The founding fathers of the nation, when they established the system, were ahead of their time, and they built a system flexible enough to change with changing times. There are imperfections in the system and injustices in government and governing, but taken as a whole, the* aver­ age citizen in the United States has something closer to an equal chance, economically and socially, than in any other major country. That is saying much for America, be­ cause we are a melting-pot nation of many races andteli- gions. We are an experimental nation in this sense. At our be­ ginning two hundred years ago many sophisticated European scholars and philosophers predicted the idealistic princi­ ples and laws on which the new republic had been founded and would operate could not possibly survive; they felt a country composed of so many divergent nationalities and beliefs could not coalesce into a united nation. Looking back on history, what has been the record? It is not perfect, but the people of this country have built the richest nation in the world, a nation of individual freedom for all, a nation which has never lost a war, a nation which constantly seeks to improve itself, to uplift the disadvan­ taged. We have a long way to go, yet, but that is not a bad start. Every newly-graduated young citizen should not cas­ ually accept these many blessings without an humble sense of thanksgiving and appreciation of the efforts and accom­ plishment of those who have gone before--who have done so much for all those starting out in 1973. PUBLIC PULSE (Tffe Plaindealer' invites the public to use this col­ umn as an expression of their views on subjects of general interest in our community. Our only re­ quest is that writers lim­ it themselves to 300 words or less - signature, full address and phone num­ ber. We ask too, that one individual not write on the same subject more than once each month. We re­ serve the right to delete any material which we consider libelous or in ob- jectional taste.) "Kditor ".RecentlyJ a news article appeared in the McHenry Plaindealer' concerning the actions of a group of citizens of McHenry opposing the relocation of the McHenry Area Rescue Squad, Inc. quarters to the vacant city property on Third and Waukegan. While the article itself was factual, I feel that some clarification of the position of the Rescue squad is necessary so that a distorted view of our purposes can be avoided. "The McHenry Area Rescue squad is a volunteer organization whose only pur­ pose in being organized and operating is to render emergency service to victims of heart attacks, strokes, auto accidents, etc. There is ab­ solutely r> wu\ 'ha' any benefits can accrue to the squad itself it the unpaid f er hers. It there are any benefits in the type.of equip­ ment that we have, the location- ft our squad quarters, or the way in whicfa we render our service, the sole beneficiaries have to be the people of the area thai we serve. We exist only because many individuals and organizations in the McHenry. McCullom Lake. Lily Lake-Lakemoor and Hoiiday Hills areas have donated money for our equipment and operations. I cannot name all the sub­ divisions that have given, they are too numerous. "If the rescue squad is to continue to serve the area, the donations must continue, for we receive no tax money. The donations and benefits are our only source of income. So, too, the quarters of our squad must of necessity be provided us in some way. City Wide Carpet company has given the squad free quarters since its inception in September of 1971. We have not been charged rent, light, heat or water, nor have we been asked to share any expenses in any way. However, the space that we occupy in City Wide's building could be used for their own business purposes, and we should therefore1 look for our own buildinj^o that we will no longer be a burden to them.

The area has to be centrally located so that it is readily accessible to the greatest number of members. The more easily accessible, the quicker the response to the emergency call. This becomes more apparent when you realize that since the start of serv ice in 1972 we have an­ swered in excess of 570 calls. V\ hile the property at Third and Waukegan is not necessarily the only area in which we can relocate, it is certainly a highly desirable area. We would welcome suggestions as to others alternate locations. The relationship of the squad quarters to the hospital is (if no importance, as we do not go from the squad quarters to the hospital, we go from the scene o f t h e e m e r g e n c y t o t h e hospital. "Feeling that the best ( and possibly the only) way we could acquire land for our own building was from the City pf- McHenry, we made inquiries as to the proper way to ap­ proach the City Council for a hearing. We were advised by then Mayor Doherty and the Supt. of Public Works to have a preliminary meeting with the Public Properties committee and to prepare preliminary plans for the building, showing type of building, parking, grading, etc., as this was one of the things that would be required to submit our request. When Alderman Howard stated that people were concerned because they had learned the rescue squad has its Dlans drawn and "are ready to go", he should have advised the people that they were drawn in accordance with our in­ structions from the Mayor and Supt. of Public Works, not because we were "ready to go" in defiance of any group, or that we were "ready to go" without being in full compliance with established procedures. I wish to make it clear that our desires from the beginning, and every action that we have undertaken with the view of obtaining the property on Waukegan road for the rescue squad building, has been done strictly according to 'the book', openly and above board. Incidentally, as of this date, the squad has never made a request to the city for this property, and has not had a hearing before the Council. "One of the objections the people on Waukegan road who oppose our relocation have, is that the squad members will be answering the calls by coming down Waukegan to get to the squad building. This is not true, as no member will be driving his car down Waukegan to reach the squad. All members will comedown Rt. 120 and then up Third street to the squad building. The people '>n Waukegan road have to be aware. I'm sure, that almost all emergency vehicles that comes** into McHenry from either the west or south use Waukegan road to go io the hospital, as this is the most direct route when you are at Front and Elm. Therefore, the traffic on Waukegan road should not be affected one way or the other by our quarters being on Third and Waukegan. "We of the rescue squad have fried to provide a worthwhile service to the people of the McHenry area. There is nothing for us to gain per­ sonally by having a good location for the squad. There is, however, much that can be lost by those in need of emergency treatment if the squad has a poor location. I hate to think that we cause apprehension and fear in the community by our presence, prompting Mayor Stanek to address the petitioners at the Council meeting, "We share your ap­ prehension. We will do the best we can and keep you ap­ praised". He Ihen added, "I guarantee you we will not sneak anything through". Mr. Mayor, you. certainly have never had a request from us to sneak anything through. "Perhsps the Mayor and members of the City Council should be advised how other citizens of the community feel about our relocation. They have heard only from one small but vocal group. Perhaps the Council would like to have a meeting with the squad and hear our side of the story so that a fair judgment can be made of this situation. We would welcome this op­ portunity. Turning this property into a public park would serve perhaps 150 people - the rescue squard serves over 8,000. "John N. Schlofner, President "McHenry Area Rescue Squad" ON TRASH PICKUP "Editor: "I am writing this letter to your paper to say how suc­ cessful the city trash pick-up was. We had cut down two trees and had a lot of branches and firewood, too. They came and took it all and even cleaned up the mess by raking up everything. "Also want to say how nice and courteous these young boys were and they did a wonderful job and were really good workers. Who says there aren't any good young people in McHenry. We are proud of them.
