SECTION 2 - PAGE S - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6,1976 EDITORIALS On Eating Nutritional experts say the current cuisine trend among youth- consumption of more vegetables and cereals, rather than meat-is encouraging. And, they say, a balanced diet can be maintained with only vegetables and cereals. Some time ago at a Washington nutritional conference experts welcomed the trend toward more organic foods, though of the opinion organically grown fruits and vegetables have only very slight nutritional benefits. But both trends emphasize consumption of fruits and vegetables, and this is said desirable. Other studies, including those on heart disease, indicate middle- age citizens shouldn't eat red meat more than five times a week. All recent evidence indicates the consumption of vegetables and fruits should be substitued for some of the fats, sweets and meats most of us eat! It may be hard to believe, when considering chomping down on a fine steak, but you could sometimes substituted dried peas or dried beans for better nutrition. Medicaid Fraud The effect on public opinion of sensational discoveries of fraud and stealing in the nation's Medicaid program (in eight cities investigated) is uncertain. But such blunt proof that the federally- financed program is so badly operated, inevitably dims prospects for expanded health care. The stealing in Medicaid has tripled in five years and is now running into billions. One estimate is that more than a fourth of the federal government's annual $15 billion outlay is lost by error or graft! It may be time for catastrophe health insurance for all Americans. It's time for better care of the nation's young. But if the federal government and the states can't do any better than what has been accomplished in Medicaid, many will be hesitant to support expanded health care. The answer of course, is not to abandon all hope for expanded health care. But it may be necessary to clean up the present corrupt system, ruthlessly and vigorously, before adding more billions to the pot. A. G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. Weekly Market Review Those 90 million viewers of last week's debate were treated to a real ego trip-after watching both candidate's delivery and content, they had to feel they could have done as good a job. However, with confidence in our nation's leadership somewhat lower than the proverbial whale droppings (we leave more colorful colloquialisms to Mr. Carter) we would have much preferred if one or the other generated an image of superior leadership. Perhaps based on Mr. Carter's nervous start, we gave the nod to Mr. Ford. In our opinion, Carter needed to win big to regain momentum as otherwise there is little incentive to kick out the old, which we know, and bring in the new and unknown. The upcoming debates will cover areas which are even further away from Mr. Carter's past experience and thus his chances for a decisive verbal victory seem to be reduced - certainly, the size of the audience will be reduced substantially. Enough on the elections as no matter who wins, the fundamentals underlying stocks will remain strong enough to support higher prices. And both candidates seem to understand the national desire for a return of fiscal conservatism and less big government. The other major event of the week was the shocking $4.5 billion increase in Mil. Based on the erratic down and then up bond market and the divergent explanations which show total confusion among the experts, we are relegating the weekly fed figures to a very secondary position. The thing we do consider uppermost in importance is that many leading Stocks remain in bull trends while others can't get out of their own way. Last week saw a new recovery high for the Dow Jones Industrials and many heralded this as a breakout and the start of a broad based and very big move. It may happen, but we don't want to bet on it by buying stocks indiscriminately. Tape action so far shows a continued mixed and selective market with an upside bias and our advice remains to structure portfolios in line with that market personality: Buy interesting stocks which are attracting money and which do not rely on an accommodating market to push them all up.

SEDOM SERIES "Editor: In April, 1976, Dr. Robert Boxer, an allergist from Skokie, gave a falk at North school in Crystal Lake that dealt with the relationship between the hyperactivity syndrome of childhood and allergies and diet The talk was attended by several hundred parents. Dr. Boxer and 1 were thrilled by the size of the audience and its enthusiasm to learn more about this fascinating subject. In response to this large turnout, under the auspices of SEDOM, I have set up a series of two panel discussions to cover the problem of hyperactivity in children in depth "Hyperactivity and its related learning problems are a very complex subject. In order to understand it. one must draw from the experiences of the many disciplines which have been involved with elucidating the problem. Accordingly, the panel will consist of five members with each member having expertise in a different area of the problem. I am a general pedicatrician with special interest in the various medical aspects of hyperac­ tivity and learning disorders. Dr. Boxer will be on the panel and will discuss the role of allergy and nutrition and hyperactivity. Richard Woosnam is a clinical psychologist and will be discussing the various aspects of psychological and evaluation and treatment. Heather Wolfe is a special education teacher and will deal with the educational evaluation and contributions to management And finally. Dee Ryan probably has the most impressive credentials on the panel - she is a mother with four hyperactive sons! "The two meetings will be held at the Crystal Lake high school in the auditorium. The high school is at the corner oi W'lkup avenue (Crystal Lake-Au Henry blacktop) and Frank'in street in Crystal La.^x e lust meeting will be at 7: :i() p.iri Wednesday, Oct. 6, a' th<>1. ond meeting will be at 7 :50 p.m. on Wednesday, Oc Th*> first meeting will invoiv- discussion of the definitive .< t hyperactivity, the various theories about its causes, and how the panel feels the problem should be evaluated, using the multi- disciplinary team approach. The discussion will last an hour to an hour and a half to be followed by a question and answer period. The second meeting will be concerned with the various treatments of hyperactivity and its associated problems and the overall prognosis for the various degrees of severity of the syndrome. It is hoped that all interested people will be able to come to both meetings because due to the large amount of material to cover and limited time, there will be little repetition of material from meeting one in meeting two and vice versa. It is hoped that this arrangement will prove satisfactory to most people. We on the panel feel it is the only way to cover the topic adequately "Anyone who seriously at­ tempts to become involved with hyperactive children will soon find these youngsters to be an extremely challenging and fascinating group. Working with them involves both the most rewarding and also the most frustrating experiences possible. One will soon discover that no one discipline has all the answers. Each discipline continues to contribute small important pieces to the overall puzzle and one must stand back every now and then and take a look at the whole picture in order to maintain a rational perspective. "From where I stand. I see an understanding of hyperactivity to be the tip of an iceberg involving the new science of behavioral biochemistry and how man interacts with his environment at the molecular level I relish Are You New In ( i • ( ( I i i i •i * McHenry Area ?

Hopefully, these two in­ troductory meetings will not be the end of discussion about this topic, but only the beginning of a long and fruitful dialog between everyone interested in any aspect of the topic. Future meetings about hyperactivity or any aspects of the problem will be held according to the interest shown by the audience. "G R.Oberg. MD "Medical Consultant "SEDOM."' PEARLSTREET BRIDGE "Dear Editor: "Within five weeks, plans by McHenry County, Township, and City officials to destroy the Old McHenry Bridge will be realized, and we and future generations will be the losers. The fact that this structure was unanimously recommended by Illinois State officials for in­ clusion into the National Register of Historic Places has affected their decision not one bit! It's hard to believe that we are allowing something like this to happen The time has come for some clear definite truths on what this bridge issue means to McHenry." "First of all, its replacement would not alter our basic traffic flow problems. The com prehensive city plan, dating back to the early 1960 s and largely ignored, pointed out alternate routes to alleviate traffic. The plan said to extend Route 31 south beyond 120 to connect with Green street and then extend east to connect with the stub streets at the end of Court and Park streets to Riverside drive. It also stressed placing a new crossing at Boone Creek connecting Riverside drive with Waukegan street. Another recom­ mendation was to extend Pearl street west across Richmond road to Freund avenue to 31 going south. These were all clear cut high priority proposals made years ago and unacted on yet." "Secondly, saying that a new bridge is needed to ac­ commodate heavy volumes of traffic flowing down from FAP. 420 is premature, considering that the funding for that high­ way system expired last June so that new funding needs to be sought before plans go ahead again. For this unrealized possibility we should take out a national landmark?" "Next is the belief that heavy traffic over the 120 bridge necessitates a second bridge. Any commuter would agree that traffic along 120 east of town is terrible, yet no pressure has been applied on the state to widen that bridge to four lanes. Why not? The city put pressure on the state to have 120 widened west of town, why not east of town, and why not that bridge? Any new bridge at Pearl street will still have to deal with the problem of getting traffic onto 120 east. People can't seriously believe that a new big bridge one block north will change all that. This plan to replace the Pearl street bridge is nothing more than an expedient--a chance to grab revenue sharing funds before some other community does. It is a sim­ plistic solution to a complex traffic problem." "The first priority should be toward proper maintenance and modernizing of the 120 bridge, the primary access route into McHenry from the East." "There is, however, one thing our landmark's removal would do, and that is to make it even easier for large lake cruisers' to steam up the Fox churning up the river bottom and eroding the shore line even more." "It is time our city and our Chamber of Commerce realized that a national land­ mark is worth its weight in gold as far as increased business, and it seems to me that any other city would consider it an honor to have one. We have one of the largest and oldest metal truss bridges in the state. Will there ever be another op­ portunity like this for McHenry?" "Surely there must be someone here willing to get involved in preservation for progress. Where are the in­ dividuals who want to keep the • old McHenry bridge but won't get involved'.' Where are McHenry's old time respected citizens "who know what the bridge has meant and yet have not spoken out'.' And where are our civic clubs and organizations who really ought to be taking a stand on a public- issue like this but are afraid of offending anybody?
