For Your Information Dear friends, Travelers to foreign countries are often sur­ prised to learn how informed and inspired foreigners are with the stirring speeches and actions of our forefathers in their fight for liberty and freedom. It is well for us to occasionally re-read the Declaration of In­ dependence and the U.S. Constitution to re­ kindle our own dedication to freedom. Sincerely, PETER Ni JUSTEN & SON FUNERAL HOME PAGE 7 - PLA1NDEALER • WEDNESDAY.

"When two contractors stand up publicly in the Council meeting and one states unequivocally there are less than 20 acres of mosquito breeding water in the city has a map with each oprfaor puddle or ditch, etc., marked, and the area measured and totalled - this is believable. "When the other contractor stands up with a map with each pond or puddle or ditch marked in and the area totalled and says it totals 164 acres - this is believable. "The City Council was given the problem of deciding which contractor lied. The problem, however, is more complex than stated above. If contractor No. 2 is correct, then the City Council took the exact proper action. If contractor No. 1 is correct, then the balance of his claims that the City Council bought thousands of dollars worth of "Blue Sky" in 1973 and 1974 suddenly becomes very believable, and it is up to the Council to get the money from the State of Illinois bond money. "It is a simple problem - Who lied? - and a simple solution. Take both maps to ensure getting every puddle and swamp, and measure the actual mosquito-breeding water in the city of McHenry. Not only that, but McHenry County Health department has four employees who were hired to check larvae breeding in the county and they could - as part of their work - survey the city of McHenry and come up with the exact figure. (They have to plot and measure mosquito breeding areas in the county as exact size of each source of mosquito breeding is vital to knowing proper treatment.) Maybe the taxpayers have a refund coming in the thousands of dollars range. Let's find out. "Sincerely, "William A. Campbell" THE ERA "Dear Editor, "On Tuesday, June 18, a majority of Illinois State Senators cast a vote for justice by voting YES on the Equal Rights amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Illinois National Organization for Women commends highly those Senators, particularly Senator Jack Schaffer, R-33rd district, who have shown themselves truly dedicated to the principle CHILDREN'S WORK JOBS AROUND HOME l Take clues from the Montessori approach and prepare the work environment at home. It might be a special work corner for arts and crafts; it might be preparing for the after-effects of the work. Newspapers, drop cloths, old shower curtains can be spread down before work starts, so that quick clean-ups - not parent screams - foiiow the child's efforts. 2. Jobs for children must be real, not make work or phony jobs. Children can spot phony work and they resent it, just as they resent those kind of school homework assignments. Short jobs a child can finish quickly are good for starters: a six- year-old can vacuum one room, make one flower arrangement, mow one part of the lawn, etc. Move from easier, quick jobs to of equality under the law for all citizens. "Those Senators who find themselves unable to support the basic American right of equality under the law are a minority whose will has prevailed only because of a ruling that an extraordinary majority is required to pass the ERA resolution. In other states where the ERA has passed, a simple majority is all that has been required. t The constitutionality of * this requirement is a matter for the courts to determine, according to the President of the Senate. The Equal^ Rights amendment has consistently secured majority votes in each chamber of the Illinois General Assembly. McHenry County NCJJV will continue to work with other organizations throughout McHenry county and Illinois to secure the ratification of this vital amendment. • "Executive Committee "McHenry County Chapter - National Organization For Women "Ms. Paula IL Smith "Ms. Maureen iv Rogman "Ms. Karen Marino "Ms. Cindy Morimoto" harder, longer ones as the child gets practice. This is sequence in learning. 3. After initial exper­ imentation, list each child's jobs and give small rewards for a job well done. Ask children what jobs they think they can do and want to do - the list will be longer than parents ever imagine. Post this list (see calendar "t^ea also). When children complete the jobs, they can be rewarded with gold stars, compliments, kisses^ maybe even money. The kind of reward depends on the style of the household. Rewards are coming back as an accepted technique in helping children accomplish goals. 4. Some jobs can be listed in a like-it-or-not category. This importance of work grows as the child grows in that it helps the youngster organize his-her life and feel needed by the family. Boys and girls can do minor carpentry repairs and learn to wash, iron, and mend their own clothes - whether or not they're counting on having maids when they grow up. If by some slim chance, there is help in the house now, it's the wise parent who saves jobs for the children to do anyway. 5. The job of the parent- teacher is to show how to do a task, step by step, and let the child take over. Don't expect quick miracles 6. When children do poor work, they should be shown how to improve their efforts, not by having the parent redo work, but by having the parent illustrate how to fix it up. It takes a lot more time and patience to teach a child to do , things for himself than to do the work for them. Patient efforts when children are young make for a long range future investment with the rewards of responsible, capable children. • • * • The human race has en­ dured so many crises we're . inclined to bet it will surv- vive present world condi­ tions.
