SECTION 2 PAGE 6 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1978 T PLAINDKAI.F.R Editorial Opinion Traffic Plan Near MCC "Progressr" In Milk The latest "progress" in our modem world is cream and milk which has been ultrapasteurized, which is sold on unrefrigerated shelves, where it can sit for perhaps two months. In at least one state, ultrapasteurized milk went on sale in March and in many states ultrapasteurized cream has begun to appear on unrefrigerated shelves. This may be progress to producers and store managers, who thereby avoid worries and expense about keeping milk cold and fresh, but it's not progress to the average consumer. . Those who have bought ultrapasteurized cream have found it harder to whip and many claim it has an unmistakable cooked taste. Then there are those too who feel that any milk or cream cooked at high temperature has lost some of its freshness and vitamins-despite commercial claims to the contrary. In Europe, where adequate refrigeration is often unavailable, ultrapasteurized milk and cream have been sold for many years. Americans heretofore have concluded this was a second-best necessity, because of a lack of refrigeration. And one suspects it's going to be very hard for retailers to convince the average housewife of anything else. Junk In The Sky The recent fall of a nuclear-powered Soviet space vehicle in northern Canada is of more value in bringing to a head the problem of pollution, radioactive danger and junk in the sky than any other event of recent times. There are already over 4,000 pieces of debris now in orbit around the earth. The space age is only just beginning. What will be the total a decade from now, in two decades? Is there any way to prevent an accelerated junking-up of the earth's immediate outer space? This may be the time for a world conference to obtain agreement on the best methods to attack this problem. The danger of collision will grow more and more serious. Chances are remote, because of the vastness of space, that an orbiting vehicle will strike a floating hunk of space junk. But there's already that chance and a collision could well mean destruction of a craft traveling at 18,000 miles an hour. The nuclear radiation danger is certain to increase. Pollution may be the less pressing of the foreseeable dangers but it, too, is an eventual problem. With the catalyst of the recent nuclear vehicle's crash on Canadain soil a fresh memory, this could be an opportune moment to devise and propose 1 wig-term preventatives and safeguards for the non-proliferation of space. Thoughts At Tax Time The following appeared in the Congressional Record, written by Del Clawson of California in the House of Representatives. It is most fitting as income tax deadline approaches. TEN FORTY Many think simplification and reform Cannot be expected as a norm. Taxation, the wise man reflects, Must necessarily be most complex. Enter here, and on line 13b, The amount computed on Schedule T, But never less than twice line 9.

There is a solution, I must confess. The Plan is so simple it will astound. It starts in the halls where the trouble is found. The Senate and House, they write the Acts, That over complicate the income tax. When it appears that it's time to file, IRS prepares their returns with a smile. You and I stand out in the street, Weary of mind and cold of feet; Forlorn, unhappy, under the gun. If we need help, we hire someone. So, now let's get one simple law Stuck into the^legislator's craw. "Members of the Congress must now learn To prepare their own income return." Rules as plain as a schoolgirl's dimple, Brief and clear - overwhelmingly simple. See how quick old laws will change. Thereafter, the rules won't seem so strange. f Building Permits 1 Building permits recently issued by the Department of Building and Zoning for McHenry County include: Dane Andersen, 7419 Oneida, Wonder Lake, to build a three bedroom residence at 8906 Ramble in Greenwood Township for an approximate value of $35,000. Permit and service fee-$150. Gary D. Blain, 1314 Jasper, McHenry, to build an attached garage at the same address for an approximate value of $5,000. Permit and service fee-$44.12. James Iwanski, 2011 S. Fernwood, McHenry, to build a storage building at the same address for an approximate value erf $6,000. Permit and service fee-ii25.80. McHenry County college is asking for voluntary cooperation by motorists to implement a new traffic flow plan on U.S. 14 near the college campus. "We recognize that we have a traffic problem caused by cars entering and leaving the campus in large numbers in the evening, especially when classes end at 10 p.m.," ex­ plained Dr. Robert G. Harris, MCC president. Harris said a number of minor accidents have occurred on U.S. 14 in front of the college. "Drivers become impatient waiting for traffic to leave the campus and take chances they might otherwise not take," he said. The new plan, which is a compromise of recom­ mendations from a McHenry county Sheriff's police study and limitations put on traffic flow by the Illinois Department of transportation, calls for: -all cars entering the MCC campus using the southern driveway which is the official college entrance. -all cars leaving the MCC campus going north towards Woodstock using the northern exit only. -all cars leaving the MCC campus going south toward Crystal Lake using the southern driveway only. Harris said the plan is to be implemented immediately on a trial basis and that there will be an effort to educate the students to the new traffic flow plan when they register for summer classes. "If the ne>v plan alleviates the traffic problems during the summer when there are less students on the MCC campus, then we will begin a major enforcement program of the plan in the fall," Harris said. In addition to educating the students about the entrance and exit regulations, the college may hire part-time traffic control officers for peak hours to make sure drivers follow the new rules. The college is also investigating the possibility of staggering starting and ending times for evening classes to alleviate traffic congestion, Harris said. The new plan does not allow •? cars coming from the north to enter the college at the nor­ thern driveway, Harris pointed out, because the state prohibits left turns into the driveway from U.S. 14. The county sheriff's study had recom­ mended that alternative, but state transportation officials do not favor the use of any en­ trance to the campus except the main one at the south driveway, Harris said. While Illinois Department of Transportation engineers would be willing to allow in­ stallation of a left turn lane and island near the college en­ trance, MCC would have to pay for the widening of the road for the lane and the island. "That would be a tremendous expense for the college to undertake without trying this traffic plan to see if we can solve the problem," Harris said. The engineers have told the college the current traffic congestion problem is not serious enough •to 'Wafrt'anL a stop light on Route 14 by the MCC entrance. "But they have assured us that they will be willing to study the problem further and con­ sider other remedies in the future if we are unable to solve the problem with this traffic plan," Harris said. The college has paid to install the deceleration lane which allows cars coming from the south into the MCC entrance to slow down out of the flow of traffic.

Harris said that the only alternative open is the one college officials have chosen, the implementation of the new traffic flow plan to solve some of the traffic congestion at peak period. "We are hopeful that with cooperation and a conscious effort on the part of drivers to follow the new rules we can eliminate much of the congestion in the evenings," Harris said. rwwmi'u KNOW YOUR AREA-ROYAL WELCOME DOES IT BEST >0000000000 ooo ooeoooooooooocoooooooooq Service McHENRY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 38S-4900 FAMILY SERVICE * MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC 3409 W.

Weekly Market Review It was nice of the stock market to hold together ten days ago in our absence despite a load of unfavorable economic developments but we think it made a mistake. Yes, we have often stated the philosophy that one should never argue with the market put instead adjust to whatever it is doing. We also believe in bending guidelines a bit-or more kindly stated, staying flexible. Although the Dow Industrials rose only a small fraction last week, the advance-decline ratio was positive which again showed the split personality of this market which has persisted for months. However, the fundamentals have changed for the worse and the market ignored that fact last week. Yesterday, with the Dow down some 6 points and the a-d a negative 2.7 to 1, the market did some downside catching up and we look for more to come short term. The very critical changes are the worsening outlook for inflation, the unknown content and implications of President Carter's soon to be released anti-inflation package, and sharply rising interest rates after several months of stability. A record trade deficit in February of $4.52 billion was also, mistakenly, ignored last week as were statements from Fed Chairman Miller that he will fight inflation by tightening up cm credit. All of this spells, in our opinion, continued pressure on the big, institutionalized stocks and a rougher environment for those select secondary and tertiary companies which, so far anyway, have been superstars. Our confidence that some day stocks will again get their turn at popularity is reinforced every time we are reminded that human nature never changes. This bit of philosophy is prompted by watching the boom in almost all "collectibles" at the expense of the stock market and in particular western art. Although we are strictly an amateur as an art critic we have seen a lot of investment fads come and go the past 18 years and this one looks like a super bubble. Everyone knows what the asking price for art has done but don't try to sell if you are not a dealer. But, did you know it's 10 percent down, 10 months to pay, and no interest charges. Now that's a lot easier game to play than the market in the swinging 1960's. Let's just review a bit: Stocks can be sold immediately; they pay dividends; they can be sold in pieces as needed; they are easily stored and safeguarded; they are regulated by every agency known to man. And most important, very few want them now but human nature being only human, some day even these lowly common stocks will again become a popular investment vehicle. Western art buyers, watch your scalp. ice 8c Sef i 1 professi'"10 p i r e t • toH EARL R. WALSH & JACK WALSH INS. Fire, Auto.
