\ SECTION 2 - PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 25,1»7« EDITORIALS A. G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. Weekly Market Review >i the world of science, the question "Why" can usually be answered in a very specific fashion - this event occurred so, by the laws of science, nothing else could have happened. For better or for worse, the question why in the stock market isn't subject to any such reliable guidelines or natural laws. Events with a potential impact on the stock market occur all day long but why and how they affect stock prices is ever-changing and not subject to scientific analysis. A very good example was Friday's release of the wholesale price index for January which was unchanged from December. This was a pleasant, unexpected surprise for investors and speaking scientifically* should have stimulated buying. Instead, the Dow Industrials declined 8.42 points and the "why" is that stocks were ready to come down-at a different market period, the response would not have been the same. Because the "Why" of market action is so much more metaphysical than physical, it does not pay to argue with what stocks are doing. This fact of investment survival is the reason behind thr axiom "Don't fight the tape." However, once a change in the character of the market has occurred, one must adjust quickly. Our advice for some time has been not to worry about the inevitable correction. However, in our market report last week we said that as we are already in a corrective phase, one must respect market action and take appropriate steps. Our short term concern was prompted by tired action by many important stocks, deterioration in leadership resulting in each day having its dog, and a growing complacency among market participants. Past the short term, we see no evidence of an important top and continue to believe the Bullish fundamentals and the level of stock prices outweigh potential negatives. The steps which we believe are appropriate for aggressive investors and traders at this time are unchanged: If fully invested, cut back a bit and generate buying power for another day; if underinvested, stay that way; if totally out of the market, do a little hedge buying. Thus, for the first time in our Bicentennial Bull market, we are advising the fine tuning of purchases. pvf EARL R. WALSH & JACK WALSH INS.

These dangers are real and unrecognized by most Americans. They are spotlighted accurately by Bruce Herschensohn in his book "The Gods of Antenna." He explains the techniques of slanting television news on all three networks, and warns of the dominant position in the news media of the Big Seven -- the New York Times, The Washington Post, Newsweek, Time, GBS, NBC and ABC. This is not a conspiracy but rather is a situation created by the liberal or leftwing ideology of the overwhelming majority of newsmen in these organizations; it is compounded by the sudden advent of visual news presentations in the nation's living rooms without centuries of usage and experience to develop safeguards and standards. Television commentators, for example, often fail to correct errors--and admit it. They subtly mix editorialization with news using both pictures and words in the process. There's no standard for the new medium. Anything, almost, goes. The printed word can be better challenged and called to account. Standards have grown up over the centuries--editorials are on the editorial page, letters to the editor, corrections; printed statements, of course, can be factually and legally checked by anyone. But the print media has become relegated to second place in millions of homes. The visual arts are the primary soufce of news. But viewers do not get the news. They get selected items news executives in New York want them to get and they don't get them straight. They get what these newsmen consider news, the voices of people the newsmen decide they should hear. And there's no such thing as a neutral newsman. They all have political views, prejudices and philosophies. Nine out of ten in the dominating eastern media today are liberal or left and if they aren't they wouldn't be where they are. (If they don't continue to be, they won't remain where they are.) Television, added to the power of certain dominant liberal newspapers in the East, has therefore created a very dangerous quasi-government, formerly called the fourth estate. Those who control this unchecked, unaccountable force control America. They make or break politicians and they make U.S. policy. Even Presidents no longer fight this power. Former President Nixon tried it. The media broke him. Had the media turned on any other President as it did on the Nixon White House, that eighteen-month campaign would have broken any of them. Not one could have stood the devastating effect of secret files revealed, secret conversations barred, aides being subpoenaed and grilled en masse, every past action checked in detail, judicial intimidation, congressional investigations and, worst of all, the endless accusations, on the television screens every night, night after night. Television's mistakes, distortions, unfair selections, interpretations, editing, ommissions, etc., continue unchecked, the networks continue largely unaccountable. This vast propaganda machine can be and is manipulated and it can lead or mislead the electorate. It is a new and dangerous situation for Americans--and should be recognized for what it is. HERE AND THERE IN BUSINESS ATTENDSSEMINAR Nick Freund of "From the Neck Up" in McHenry, recently attended a three-day scientific educational seminar designed exclusively for top beauty and barber industry professionals in Hollywood, Calif. The event featured prominent hairdressers and barber stylists from across the country. Individual study groups focused on new techniques in- hair recon­ ditioning, permanent waving and hair coloring; and new processes for radial, blunt and geometric hair cutting. m e r i c a n V i e w p o i n t s Statistics are no sub­ stitute for judgment. Henry Clay FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Feb. 25, 1926) On next Monday morning in Judge E C. Shurtleff's court, Edward Cosgrove (alias Jimmy Burke) will go on trial for the attempted robbery of the Bel jean orchestra of Elgin. Cosgrove is also charged with attempted robbery of the West McHenry State bank. After the jury and the court get through with the Cosgrove case the famous "Box Car Bandits" will be brought before the bar of Justice. The trio includes Walter McGrath, Alexander Monroe and Frank "Red" McGee. The last named member of the crew created considerable excitement just before Christmas when he sawed his way out of the McHenry county jail. He was later caught again and returned to the county jail. Mrs. Ellen Frisby, a pioneer settler and charter member of St. Patrick's parish, McHenry, died Thursday, Feb. 18. She married Thomas Frisby Sept. 30, 1854, and the couple settled on a farm south of this city where John Walsh, a nephew of the deceased, now resides. Thirty-five public-spirited women met at the home of Mrs. F.C. Cobb on Elgin road and John street Wednesday, Feb. 17, for the purpose of forming an organization to be known as the Woman's Improvement association, dedicated to the purpose of assisting the city in necessary improvements and any movement within their ability to assist which may help beautify McHenry and make it a better place to live. Newly elected officers were Mrs. Florence Cobb, president; Mrs. Barbara Krause, Vice- president; Mrs. Alice Lindsay, secretary and Mrs. May Spencer, treasurer. Probably the biggest recent piece of automobile news is the Ford closed cars. Less than six months ago, Ford bodies were completely redesigned to make possible a greater degree of beauty, driving ease and riding comfort. All steel bodies were introduced together with closed cars in color and numerous refinements in the chassis. These improvements are now suDDlemented by the lowest prices • at which Ford closed cars have ever sold. Reductions range from $95 off the price of the Fordor to $20 off the price of the Coupe. The Tudor, most popular family car of the Ford line, is reduced $60. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Feb. 27, 1936) The gradual thaw which has taken place during the last few days, with temperatures near or above the seasonal normal, has lessened the danger of floods and ice-jams in the Fox river and the lakes of this region. Ice in the river varies from 2 to 3 feet in thickness, a record for several decades past, while the ice in the lakes to the northeast of us is probably a foot greater in thickness. Fox River Valley residents fear that a sudden thaw might flood the valley and When a storm hits it's smart to drive in and out a driveway every hour to keep tracks open--or at least once before you go to bed and once in the morning. • g ¥ V ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ V ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ y K •I ( I I •I I K I Jr I Are You New In McHenry Area ? ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ < ( ( t i -i -i Do You Know Someone New?

Old friends and parishioners paid tribute to a spiritual ad­ visor whom they had loved and heeded his teachings for many years Tuesday, when many from Johnsburg and this vicinity attended the funeral rites for the Rev. William Weber, 64, who died suddenly at his home in Chicago on Saturday, Feb. 22, from a heart attack. Until his retirement six years ago, he had been pastor of St. John the Baptist parish at Johnsburg for sixteen years, one of the oldest Catholic communities in the state of Illinois* C.O.F. boys closed their season at the grade school, Feb. 23. The Stilling Speeders coming out on top without losing a game. Vernie Freund's Ponies and Moe's Pickles were tied, each winning 2 and losing 3. Sutton's Curly Tops won only l and lost 4. Members of the teams were Moe Meyer, H. Phannenstill, Richard Freund, Gerald Miller, Clarence Stilling, Vernie Freund, Leroy Smith, George Frisby, William Sutton, Delph Freund, Charles Sutton, James Vanderboon, Richard Weber, Irvin Freund and Richard Justen. Mrs. Margaret Grabbe an­ nounces the marriage of her daughter, Erma Cecelia, to Mr. Walter G. Vasey, son of G.A. Vasey of Volo. The wedding took place at Woodstock, Feb. 26. Mr. and Mrs. E.J. Buss are parents of a daughter born at Woodstock hospital, Friday. The baby has been named Ella Jean. Here is cheerful news for the sports enthusiast. The golf v season is about forty-five days away and courses are going to be in better shape than they have been in years. The golf course at the McHenry Country club has had a complete rest this winter, the heavy drifts making it impossible to play during the cold winter months as had been done in past years. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 8, 1951) The month of March not only turns our thoughts to Spring but also to the annual elections which are held each year at this time. For city offices, Edward Thennes has filed for reelection in Ward l and to date is the only one to have announced his intention to seek that office. In the second ward, Arnold An­ derson has again filed and may be faced with opposition since another petition is being cir­ culated in that ward. However, no other filings have taken place. In Ward 3, George J. Freund seeks reelection. Charles J. Miller and R.I. Overton of McHenry, Joseph Frett of Johnsburg and Earl Whiting of Ringwood were among Republican delegates elected to represent that part at the seventeenth judicial nomination convention to be held in Woodstock on Saturday afternoon, March 24. Alter­ nates elected from this com­ munity included Gerald Carey, Thomas P. Bolger and Harold Miller of McHenry, Charles Freund of Spring Grove and Charles Miller of Ringwood. Large crowds swarmed to the MCHS gymnasium last Sunday afternoon to watch the action in the fifth annual state basketball tournament which is sponsored by the local Foresters. The Johnsburg Seniors won a high- scoring game from Sacred Heart of Moline, 91 to 73. In this one, Joe Jackson set some sort of a record for the future greats to shoot at. Joe sank 21 baskets and 4 freethrows for 46 points. Other players on the team were Lloyd and Howie Freund; Bud, Connie and Gordon Miller; Wally Smith, Bernie May, Tom Huemann and Art Jackson. The 1950-51 winter will go down in the books as the toughest one yet encountered by the maintenance men of the state Division of Highways. Big snowstorms hit Illinois around Thanksgiving day and since that time the 2,700 men in the snow and ice removal crews have been working forty to eighty hours a week to keep the roads open. Truck breakdowns caused by heavy work and For Your Information extreme cold made the job harder, Frank N. Barker, chief highway engineer, said. As many as 35 trucks were out of commission at once in several districts. The Adult Girl Scout association met at the home of Viola Brda on Tuesday, March 6. Joan Kennebeck and Lydia Diedrich reported they are carrying on a serious program with their intermediate group of girls. Mrs. C.E. Logan. Mrs. Clyde Bailey and Betty Walker are working with a group of Brownies sponsored by St. Mary's PTA. Mrs. C.F. Anglese, Mrs. M.F. Clark and Mrs. A.J. Wirtz complete the St. Mary-St. Patrick PTA Girl Scout committee. . Mrs. John Hogan of Ringwood was one of nine McHenry county 4-H leaders who were honored for long service at the district conference for leaders from McHenry, Boone and Lake counties held last week at the Congregational church in Woodstock. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 3, 1966) Earl R. Walsh was elected president of the McHenry Rotary club at last Thursday's luncheon meeting. He will assume his new duties next July, taking over the office held this past year by Larry Lund. After considerable discussion concerning the type of summer activity which would best promote the community, the Chamber of Commerce board voted Tuesday to make changes in Fiesta day and to call the event McHenry Marine Festival. The most important revision will be to place em­ phasis on McHenry's proximity to water, a feature which not every community can boast/ At least one McHenry husband may never be reproached by the "little woman" for not hanging up his clothes. He is Richard Walinski of 4717 W. Shore drive, Lakeland Park, whose pajamas were the only handy item* available to his wife to wrap their newly born baby daughter in after the mother delivered the infant in the family home last Saturday afternoon. The baby was named Linda Marie and mother and daughter are resting comfortably in the Harvard hospital. A McHenry mother and her eleven-year-old daughter were killed in a car accident Monday night. Mrs. Edith Barwig and her daughter, Deborah, were passengers in a car driven by Mrs. Marjorie Webber of McHenry, when the car in which they were riding ran into a tree on the Crystal Lake- McHenry blacktop road. Icy roads caused the car to skid off the road into a ditch. Mrs. Webber and her son, Mark, 6, were seriously injured in the crash. Pat Long, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Long of Cooney Heights, received his Life Scout award at the annual Scout banquet of Troop 162 Saturday night. James Kirk, who serves on the troop committee, made the presentation. The com­ munity has had only about eight Life Scouts in recent years. The Viscount Color Guard brought home three trophies from their trip to Sandusky and Fremont, Ohio, this past weekend. Members of the successful Viscount team are Karen Hay, Bernadine Reid, Marylou Smith, Mary Pat Mrachek, Jeannie DeVries, Eileen Homo, Charlene Reid, Eileen Cooper ,Susanne Mat- chen, Leslie Kilday, Kathy Miller, Judy Hay and Betsy Kilday.

Dear friends, When the proper time comes to dispose of personal effects of the deceased, items of sentimental value will quickly be recognized by close family members - items that other­ wise might be discarded by disinterested per­ sons. It is wise to look thru papers and books as it is possible that something of importance or value may by discovered.
