PAGE 8-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1973 EDITORIALS A Time For Restraint 5 The American people, especially those in the news me­ dia, bear a responsibility to their country which too many have lost sight of in recent weeks. In recklessly condemning the President, in sensational­ izing every rumor, every inference in hearsay testimony, every charge, before these allegations are proven, the me- * dia, politicians and those who harbor a personal vendetta against Mr. Nixon, have shaken confidence in the United .1 States abroad, weakened the dollar and partly paralyzed f * the government's functioning. In other words, the cost of this savage, personal abuse ? of the Presidency, and the President, has been exorbitant. By now even the most dubious of doubting Thomases should be confident the many investigations and court cases looking into the abuse of authority and improper and illegal activities in the executive department will produce the facts, and justice. With the prying eyes of all the world on these legislative and judicial processes, and the coop­ eration of the Attorney General, his special prosecutor and the President himself, this seems certain. ^ The question remaining, then, is whether the nation can afford a continuing of the reckless, scandalmongering by a certain element of the citizenry. The Nixon Administration, overall, has accomplished much for America and Americans in the past five years. The nation is generally prosperous, riots in our cities and on our campuses are greatly reduced, historic progress has been made in our foreign relations, especially with Russia and China. An era of peace seems highly probable, now that Nixon has ended the Vietnam war. Admitting all the mistakes and misconduct involved, the open, free American system is working and justice will be done; the place for its determination is now in the courts, not in destructive, reckless, sensational comment in news columns and by television news announcers. The Gas Shortage There are those who suspect the current gasoline short­ age is what many of the big oil companies want. There are good reasons for that concern. First, the shortage can be used to eliminate cheap com­ petition, the discount station, most of them dependent for their gasoline on the major companies. Second, the shortage atmosphere and psychology can be exploited to hike prices, both at the wholesale and retail level. The Nixon Administration should be energetic in holding the line on gasoline prices. The government has known and warned for years that the major companies were not devel­ oping enough new wells to meet future needs. The oil com­ panies have been going slow because they claim the tax structure made it unprofitable to do so. Considering that the oil companies have traditionally enjoyed favorable tax treatment, such as the liberal depre­ ciation allowance, it's disappointing they didn't do more t o a v o i d t h e c u r r e n t s h o r t a g e , w h i c h o n e s u s p e c t s they could have done. Meanwhile, the President has no choice but to hold the line on gasoline prices until correc­ tive steps have been taken and to assure better conditions in the supply and demand area--even if price control authority must be used to prevent excessive profiteering, in the pub­ lic interest. Death For Sale Spectacular accidents (one involving nine gasoline-laden cars at Indianapolis) which took a toll not only among driv­ ers and cars but among spectators as well, illustrate the objection to racing often made by critics today, that this high-speed contest is overly dangerous- Death is literally for sale and the chances of these ac­ cidents, and death, is one of the morbid factors which packs the stands at racing events. Yet racing would be just as thrilling if horsepower were limited and fuels were required to be less flamable. The continuing grisly death in flames or crashes of rac­ ing drivers is a part of this "sport" which should be elim­ inated as far as is possible. That can only be done by limiting horsepower, requiring the use of less flamable fuel and by federal track and spectator seating standards. Ordinary candles are usually a mixture of paraffin (60%) stearic acid (35and beeswax (5%). rmsntiTii.-t TO SC rj 0t?A5f.V:,*tr.C? rrTASiW ' OFrICi C- 5 1903 Pt.'.Njia'.'A-.iA w WASHINGTON DC 23226 McHKNHY T0«h£HIP, MOHiUHH MUl.TC, ILL lWQEXi«;,jriV£MOPO.SAU C.ie.iiMSj'.A tsn.MATEo t.'-icf $ *»1,998.00 ACC3u:.r \0 ^ Qj6 512 .11) 0S3rH9« Of rt„.rw ^ f^PvU J.ifCt bo':c.v.r»9 rnuJiTunii 0l ,ur.*tf.c;.oo > tsn.MATEo t.'-icf $ *»1,998.00 ACC3u:.r \0 ^ Qj6 512 TOO SC CN TO LJussmozstinchiase LJ"»c:-Freer McHKNRY TOWNSHIP TOWNSHIP SUP&AVISOR 1257 » jHSB* ST MoHBNfU ILLINOIS 60050 (\l) TAXsS in wh«n ol in* ,» ,t twsm.nl o l S " * V « .

If the sun shines the least in Decem­ ber, why isn' t that month the bit terest of winter months9 And, if the sun shines longest in June than any other t ime, why isn' t June the most oppressive of the summer months0 As the read­ er knows, December is sel­ dom the coldest winter month and July and August are often hotter than June. What 's the answer"5 The answer l ies in tne fact that the earth stores up the heat during the summer and loses it slowly. When the shortest day of the year arrives, usually December 21st, the earth sti l l retains some of i ts stored up heat from the summer. Likewise, when the long­ est day of the year arrives, the summer soltice (June 21st this year), the earth has not stored up the amount of heat i t will contain by July and August, after ad­ ditional long days and short nights.

THE JESUS RALLY "Dear Editor: "Thank God!., for the out­ pourings of teen-aged hearts that touched me to tears at the Jesus Rally in the band shell tonight! Lives that spelled the pathos of an emptiness, a yearning, that nothing but the New Dimension of Christ can satisfy. "I'm so grateful I came, because Amos 8:11 'Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water, but of hearing the words of the Lord.' "And there's a dearth in the land. My soul's sometimes parched and needs to be fed, watered, nurtured and replenished,..but tonight I walked away...satisfied. "There was only a smat­ tering of people present. To the absent, the deprivation was theirs...I thank God, for these lovely kids,-who aren't ashamed to get up and testify that God has the power to transform lives! Romans 12:2 'And be ye not conformed to this world, but be ye-tran­ sformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and ac­ ceptable and perfect will of God.' "Romans 2:11 'ForTfiere is .no respecter of persons with ^ (16) God shall judge the secrelsUf-men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. John 5:26 For Christ is equal with God. John 10:30 I and my Father are one. Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him. (17) And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. (18) And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead: that in all things he might have the pre-eminence. (19) For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell.' "When they needed a friend the most, they found Christ. 'Proverbs 18:24 that sticketh closer than a brother.

"For we are so prone to judge the young, even their gift of laughter. Forgetting that 'Psalms 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord..and the fruit of the womb is his reward!' Enjoy--your kids! while you can!...They're the nicest thing that'll ever happen to you! "It's been said, Honor thy father and thy mother...and 'Colossians 3:20 Children, obey your parents in dl things, for this is is well phasing unto the Lord'...disregarding the op­ posite side of that coin which reads: '(21) Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they become discouraged.' "And my greatest loathing is for the alleged Christian, whose greatest claim to fame, is the name only..whose chief preoccupation is hoping to catch others in a compromising situation..little realizing they unconsciously exude an aura of hostility -- revealing-the nature of their nasty little minds. "So it's incumbent for us to be congruous. Our lives are sometimes the only testimony...some read God by..What influence He's had on us... "Which prompts me to re­ echo this rally's message: 'Love is the solution to all this world's ills. 'John 13:34 (Christ said) A new Commandment I give you...Love ye one another. " '(35) By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples...if ye love one another'. " 'John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. "In closing let me say, it's been a privilege being in this " O u t d o o r C a t h e d r a l " tonight..Words ripple on, to effect lives, and I know their testimony...shall..as they travel on.

Jack Schaffer (R-Cary) to require-oiotification to tax­ payers of any increase in their property assessment and give them more time to file ob­ jections witli the county board of review. Under the bills, the time for filing protests on assessments with the county board of review would be in­ to femaf/ona/ Conventions Of Witnesses Set The Watchtower Bible and Tract society of New York has revealed completion of plans for a series of international conventions of Jehovah's Witnesses in 1973. Spokesman,' Glenn N. Erickson, presiding minister of the Woodstock congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, said seventy local members would attend the convention scheduled for White Sox Park in Chicago, June 27 to July l. Other meetings in the United States are planned for Tiger stadium in Detroit, Yankee stadium in,New York, Dodger stadium in Los Angeles, Oakland-Alameda Stadium in O a k l a n d , C a l i f o r n i a , Astrodome in Houston, Three Rivers stadium in Pittsburg, Royals stadium in Kansas City, Veterans stadium in Philadelphia, Atlanta stadium and Gulfstream race track near Miami. Erickson said six Spanish- language conventions are also scheduled for the U.S. All meetings are set for June and July. Internationally, five con­ ventions have been arranged for Canada, twelve in Europe, five in Asia, seventeen in South and Central America, three in the South Pacific and seven in Africa during 1973. The theme of the conventions world wide is "Divine Victory" and will stress the Witnesses' belief in the certainty of Divine intervention in human affairs in order for man's problems to reach an ultimate and per­ manent solution. "This can only be ac­ complished- through God's kingdom by Jesus Christ," Erickson said. Developers May Need To Meet Drainage Rules Legislation requiring sub- dividers to submit plans for water drainage as a prerequisite to developing an area has passed the Illinois legislature and awaits the governor's action. Sponsored by Sen. Jack Schaffer, R-Cary, the legislation was passed in the S e n a t e l a s t w e e k w i t h unanimous approval. The bill earlier passed the house of representatives. Subdividers would be required to submit a detailed study for surface water drainage before an area could be platted. The local govern­ mental agency responsible for approving a plat could refuse to do so until the drainage plans are submitted. "We have suffered serious problems from water runoff in newly developed areas because of insufficient planning," Sen. Schaffer said. "Much new construction has taken place in many areas of the 33rd district, particularly in McHenry and Kane counties, and we have witnessed the problems that have resulted because some planners have made no provisions for the proper disposal of surface water. They continue to build, ignoring the problem and passing it on to someone else." The Mole River, England, is so named because it burrows underground for part of its course. Sin would have fewer takers if its consequences occurred immediately. creased from 10 to 20 days. Also, county assessors would be required by law to notify by mail any taxpayer those assessment has been in­ creased. The notice would have to list the date and newspaper in which the increase is to be published.
