Understanding History A proper understanding of history is necessary if citizens in a self-governing country are to pass intelligent judgment upon the issues which present themselves daily in the modern world. An understanding of history is not to be obtained through a pa«g»pg grade on a compulsory course. It takes personal interest and a desire to understand past conduct of human beings to make such study profitable. Nor can one understand a past epoch in history by reading the work of a single writer. Just as no one would expect to get a balanced picture of a political campaign from the writing of one candidate, or fervid speeches of his supporters, it's impossible to correctly appraise past events by a single work. It's necessary to read and understand the theories expounded by a number of intelligent and fair-minded authors. The experience of former generations can only be valuable if itely reported i accural and intelligently studied.

( A PETER MlJUSTEN & SON FUNERAL HOME McHenry, Illinois 385-0063 Low Income-Elderly County's Illinois was in need of 72; 198 additional units of subsidized housing for low-income families and the elderly last year, according to a study released by the Illinois Housing Development authority. Required were 47,070 family and 25,128 elderly units throughout the state, according to a study based ion county-by- county census projections of population flow, existing housing stock, substandard and overcrowded units. Need At 487 PAr.E 19 -PLAINIWAI.F.R. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14. 1977 Stimulus For Youth Jobs IHDA Director Robert J. Harmon said the need for subsidized housing reflects about one-fourth of the state's overall housing need and about half the need for rental housing, based on comprehensive / earlier studies by the Authority. He said also that based on population projections, the need for similar subsidized units increases by more than 5.000 units yearly-yet only about 3,000 are being produced by IHDA and about 1,000 by. other agencies. The largest single need for subsidized housing was in Cook county, which was short 23,057 family units and 9,706 for the elderly, or a total Of 32,765 units-more than 45 per cent of the total state requirements. McHenry county's need totaled 487, with 328 of these for low income families and 1.59, the'elderly. Harmon estimated nearly three-fourths of Cook County's need is in the City of Chicago. St. Clair county had the second greatest need: 2,597 units for families and 1,094 for the elderly, a total of 3,691. Only Kendall county required no subsidized housing, the study showed, while DuPage, richest in the state, needed 479 family and 157 elderly units, a total of 636. RONALD REAGAN 900000000* 000*000*0 THE OLYMPICS AND POLITICS 00000000000000 A lot of Americans were angry, frustrated and a little ashamed last year when young athletes from the Republifc of China on Taiwan were told they could not compete in the Olympic games at Montreal. The ROC team had already journeyed to North America and was standing by when the door was slammed in its face. The Communist Chinese claimed that, since everyone agreed there is only one China and they, not the Taiwan Chinese, represented that China, the ROC had to go. They pressured the Canadians and, despite the fact that the ROC was an Olympic member in good standing, the In­ ternational Olympic committee let it all happen. This wasn't the first timewn history that the Olympic committee had played pussycat under pressure and it probably won't be the last. Frankly, I\ would have been proud if our athletes and those from other free nations had told the weak- kneed committee that the ROC would have to be allowed to compete or the Peking team would be running around the track by itself. But that didn't happen, and the Olympic flame seems a little less bright these days. Now, it appears the athletes of another country are threatened with ouster from the 1980 games, even though the games are three years in the future. The Olympics are dedicated to sport and, by rule and tradition, are supposed to ignore politics. True, in this case the Soviet Union, host of the 1980 games in Moscow, is being a little more subtle than Peking was last year, but the goal is the same: ouster of a nation because of politics. Having already gulled NBC in its television contract for coverage of the games, the Soviets may get away with this one, too. In this case the target is Israel. This time the plot is a little Byzantine. The Soviets, it seems, are working through various Third World nations, using an Olympic rule governing team eligibility. A competing nation must belong to at least five of the twenty-six international sports federations in order to be eligible to compete in the Olympics. Here the (dot thickens. You recall that some months ago a group of Third World nations took advantage of their num­ bers and passed a resolution in the United Nations General Assembly denouncing Zionism as a form of "racism." Now, as the various in­ ternational sports federations meet, Third World nations invoke this resolution as if it were holy writ in order to get Israel thrown out on the charge of "racial discrimination."'So far, the maneuver has been successful. They have gotten the Israelis tossed out of three sports federations. If, come 1980, Israel does not have membership in the required five, its athletes just won't be invited to compete. Ineligible, don't you know. Sorry, chaps. There has been little in the press about this shenanigan and the International Olympic committee makes Polly anna noises about Soviet "guaran­ tees," as if the problem will go away if they just close their eyes: But, you . can't help wonder what would happen if the U.S. Olympic committee, this time around, would say to the International committee, "We want to see the guest list now or we aren't coming to the party."

The estimates of " funding went to the 446 state, county, and city governments acting as prime sponsors for programs being conducted under the Comprehensive Employment and Training act (CETA). The planning grant for McHenry county was listed at $8,460, the planning estimate at $169,205. The estimates are for two of the four programs authorized by the Youth Employment and Demonstration Projects act of 1977, signed into law Aug. 5 by President Carter. The estimated shares for each state or locality represented all but $124.58 million of the funds available in the two programs, the Youth Community Conservation and Improvement projects (YC­ CIP) and the Youth Em­ ployment and Training programs (YETP). Most of the remaining balance represents the secretary's discretionary funds although $30.6 million will be later allocated to migrant and seasonal farm worker and Indian sponsors. The YCCIP program estimates total $86.2 million. The YETP program funding estimates total $402.5 million. Program resources estimates to state governments for statewide YETP programs total $38.3 million. The estimates are not actual allocations but are to be used by the governmental units in planning these two youth programs in their areas. The YCCIP will provide jobless youth with employment through well supervised work on projects that produce tangible outputs and benefits to their home community. Eligible youth must be age 16 through 19, who are in-school or; out-of-school and having dif-; ficulty getting work. YETP will provide youth,, predominantly low-income1 youth who have severe han­ dicaps in obtaining jobs, with work and training opportunities that will help their job and career prosepcts. Program activities authorized include work experience, on-the-job; training, classroom and other training, career oriented, counseling and job placement services. ; AACC Pottery Instructor In Demonstration The Northland Area Art < league will present a pottery demonstration by Susan; Galloway at McHenry County • college Sept. 16 at 8 p.m. Ms. * Galloway is an instructor at the ** college.
