SECTION 2 - PAGE 2 - PLA1NPEALER-WEPNE8PAV. MARCH 17.197$ EDITORIALS Simple Enough Russell Baker, the columnist, projects a new theory about what the American people want in their President. The fact that the President can press a button and kill sixty million people is not as important as to have a President with dazzling teeth, he says. If his theory is correct, Nelson Rockefeller, of course, could win easily. He can display at least thirty white teeth instantly--for camera, voters, magazine covers, etc. The President can also put on a dazzling dental display, back to the upper molars. Ronald Reagan's teeth are beautifully white but he doesn't show as many. Among Democrats, it's Jimmy Carter by a toothslide. But it's not true he uses chiclets for teeth, according to Baker. The only Democrat around who even comes close to Carter is Sargent Shriver--who is quite good. But his gleamers can't match the display flashed by Carter and thus Carter is the favorite. The Good Things In the present atmosphere, seemingly dominated by bad news of scandal, crime, foreign troubles, fuel shortages, inflation, etc., many of us understandably lose sight of the good things around us. Modern times have produced pollution problems, way of life complexities, confusion, depression and mental worry, but modern life also offers many good things. Americans today enjoy an unprecedented choice of foods and products to buy, and more money to buy them with, than ever before. They have available to them more forms of recreation, entertainment and leisure than ever before--and more time to devote to pleasure. More important than material things are our accepted personal freedoms--to speak, worship and act as we wish. We are blessed with an over-abundance of food, natural resources and natural beauty. The many inherited blessings of earlier ages we utilize and benefit from--modern transportation, electricity, the telephone, modern plumbing and engineering, etc. There is much to be thankful for.

The anniversary of his death has been cele­ brated regularly in recent times by not only Irishmen but those of many other races, aid notonly^Catholics but those of other faiths. In fact, the New York organization in memory of St. Patrick, the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, was organ­ ized byjboth Irish Catholics and Presbyterians, and its first president was a Presbyterian. The most famous tale about St. Patrick is the one which tells of his banishment of snakes from Ireland. Yet Cardinal Moran, who some years ago wrote an arti­ cle on St. Patrick for the Catholic Encyclopedia, fails to mention it. He does mention the ordeal of St. Patrick when he was surrounded by demons in the shape of vul­ tures, and tells of the drowning of the demons in answer to his prayers. Whatever the tale, and there are those who believe several different versions, a great number of people en­ joy celebrating the anniversary of the death of St. Pat­ rick, in the middle of this month. Irishmen, particular­ ly, take pride in the occasion, and on some occasions in the past they have even brought pieces of the "ould sod" from Ireland in honor of the occasion. A. G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. Weekly Market Review Although the market did stage a rally Monday, March 8, the past week overall was one of further consolidation and profit taking with a few stocks and is beneficial to the health of our Bull. It has provided both buying opportunities as well as a less inflamed environment in which to buy. However, many market analysts do not agree with this opinion and make the following observations to explain views much different from ours. The opposing camp seems most concerned about two things: (1) They believe the Federal Reserve Board has changed its monetary policy and that much higher interest rates will result and (2) that everyone is bullish and thus stocks have discounted most of the good things in front of us. First, the Fed. short term rates have risen somewhat the past few weeks in response to actions taken by the Fed. However, weC^)Quest|onnaire are very see no indication of change in their attempt to keep enough money * «»• available to finance the business recovery but to tighten a bit now so as to avoid excessive demand later, and with money supply down $2 billion last week, the Fed. has room to be more accommodating if needed. Also, although the Fed. is supposedly independent, a really tight-fisted monetary policy in an election year seems highly unlikely. We do believe that short term rates have about bottomed but we do not see any evidence that rates will rise to levels disruptive to the business recovery or provide intense competition for equity money any time soon. Although there is a lot of bullish talk by analysts and the press, we see few signs that enthusiasm for stocks has come close to reaching levels which we believe are justified. The popular projection by the so called Bulls is that the Dow will skip right through 1000 and hit the all time high of 1051. What we are not hearing and not seeing in stock prices is the strong indication that our country is in the early stages of combining a slow but sound economic recovery with reduced inflationary pressures. Of course, the outlook can change but at this time this extremely favorable scenario appears much more assured than other possibilities and \'-uld justify stock prices much higher than a D.J. 1051 would ir.t.icate. In other words, we find the popular Bullish sentiment way to cautious which enhances our Bullishness.

"Are you interested in what East campus students have to say about their school? Earlier in the school year a 40-question opinionaire was anonymously administered to all East campus students.; Students were asked to answer questions pertaining to their habits with tobacco, alcohol, marijuanna, and other drugs. They were also asked to rate the East Campus academic program rod building; if East should haVe more discipline and rules; whether or not co-curricular offerings are adequate; and questions relating to student feelings about personal safety. Students answered many other questions about mixed health classes, feeling of pride toward being a student at East, open campus, cafeteria food, amount of home work, and rumors they may have heard prior to beginning high school. "The results of this in­ teresting and will be shared with anyone interested at the East campus Parent Advisory council meeting Thursday, March 18. This meeting will be held in Room 8 at East campus and will begin at 7:30 p.m. The East PAC offers this letter as an open invitation to anyone interested in finding out what students have to say about East campus. We guarantee an interesting meeting and some surprising results. "East Campus Parent "Advisory Council "Gary M.

If this H.R. 10219 is passed you would receive or be able to declare this 20 per cent or $480 from your federal in­ come taxes at the end of the year. And if you are in the 25 per cent bracket you'll actually save $120 in federal income taxes a year. So I suggest you write your congressman and senator. Address them in care of the U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, D.C., 20514. "A letter from you will make our vote count when election time rolls around. "A McHenry County Renter "John F. Rogers "4010 Kane Avenue "McHenry" Spring, 1976 On the 20th the hours of daylight will approximately equal those of night for the first time since September and spring will begin in the northern hemisphere. It's a season awaited eagerly through the winter by many, perhaps the loveliest exhibition of nature during the year. Spring means new life, which is evident all around us; it brings Easter (April 18th), a symbol of new life, warmer weather, baseball, the approach of holidays and spring fever and taxes. As we witness the resurgence of nature's vital forces around us, many seek to grasp the moral, the hope represented therein. These inexorable laws of nature continue year after year their inevitable procession, inviting men and wom­ en to enjoy the delightful experience, to think about spring's meaning and the fundamental purpose and cycle of life, death, and time. From the 20th until September, six months hence, our days will be longer than nights. They will also be the warmest of the year, at the end of which we will once again welcome cooler air and brisk days--and be ready again for what nature has in store--in its life cycle.
