PETER MJUSTEN & SON , FUNERAL HOME McHenry, Illinois 385-0063 Junk Food Ban Proposal Fuel Switching The much higher price of unleaded gasoline at filling stations across the nation has encouraged the growing practice of fuel switching. The Environmental Protection agency is increasingly concerned. In most recently-built automobiles, tanks are equipped with filler pipes which accommodate only unleaded gas pump nozzles- smaller than leaded gasoline tank nozzles. But many owners are removing built-in obstructions to larger nozzles and using leaded gasoline. The use of leaded gasoline in cars equipped with catalytic converters (the anti-pollution device made mandatory by law) can badly damage converters, also, these cars begin to emit polluted air-Contrary to the intent of anti-pollution laws. There is currently no federal law against the use of leaded gasoline in recently-built converter cars, though such laws exist in thirty-nine states. E.P.A. officials are now increasing their efforts to catch violaters of these state laws. They are also pressing the oil companies to reduce the difference in price between regular and unleaded gasoline, which in some states has been as much as fifteen or eighteen cents a gallon. The oil companies, some believe, have taken unfair advantage of those with new cars (and catalytic converters), who must use unleaded fuel, who have no choice. These motorists are obviously paying a disproportionate share of the cost of cleaning up the nation's air. Poor Railroad Tracks One reason for poor track conditions on American railroads is the almost-routine policy of the Federal Railroad administration (of the Department of Transportation) in recent years of granting "safety waivers" to railroads which claimed they couldn't upgrade their tracks to minimum standards. Various state officials have recently said that policy has been in effect at FRA for many years. In the last few months, derailments and public apprehension have apparently forced a change in FRA policy. More aid to state inspection agencies, more federal inspectors and federal track repair assistance is the solution proposed by Transportation Secretary Brock Adams, plus fewer safety waivers. Adams says his department four months ago started tightening up requirements for such waivers, which sounds like a case of better late than ever. A. G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. Weekly Market Review •MHnnHNnHMnHHPMnnBHpn Deeply ingrained habits change slowly and for years now most institutional and individual investors have become comfortable considering common stocks as second class citizens in the investment community. It had become very popular among institutions to talk about investing for "cash in fist" through braids and high yielding stocks such as utilities. And of course the individual investor has been in a panic to buy almost any tangible and collectible item such as antiques, coins, and art to name a few. The market is a tough and insidious place that refuses to allow investors to get into habits that are comfortable for very long. However, most can't adjust easily and will fight major changes in a market's personality. We have witnessed a major change and the fact that so many don't want to believe it and knock it enhances the health of the advance. >' Yes, the volume of trading will slow down, the advance will become more selective, and there will be corrections. However, the fact that money is willing to chase a growing number of interesting stocks is very real and cannot be ignored. Many seem worried that predictions for the money market call for higher interest rates and assume that when that happens stocks will have to come down. We also look for tighter money and higher interest rates-the Fed must protect the dollar and guard against increased inflationary pressure-but investors are showing that they believe a lot of companies can live and prosper even if interest rates go somewhat higher. In our opinion, it is not too late to buy selected secondary growth companies and other special situations which are attracting money and this is not a prediction of things to come-it is an observation of what is already going on. Many stocks are showing continued momentum and yet sell at vary reasonable price- earnings multiples. This is a time for you and a professional to study your stock holdings carefully and determine if you are positioned to benefit from this market's new personality and new interests. We know old habits are tough to break but it is time to remember how much fun it can be to own the right stocks and it does not appear too late to enjoy the ride. f Building Permits 1 i Building permits recently issued by the Department of Building •and Zoning for McHenry County include: E'J.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is proposing regulations to prohibit the sale of candy, soda water, frozen desserts, and chewing gum on school premises until after the last lunch period, according to Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Carol Tucker Foreman. USDA's Food and Nutrition service announced during the peak month of October, 1977, over 20 million lunches were served to approximately 973,500 Illinois children par­ ticipating daily in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). Federal reim­ bursement for Illinois during fiscal year 1977 amounted to well over $71.2 million. Nationwide, more than 25 million children participated in the lunch program during fiscal year 1977. The department's action implements a provision of Public Law 95-166, enacted last November, which provides the department with authority to prohibit the sale in schools of food items that the department determines to be of little nutritional value. > - • "We are proposing to prohibit the sale of these foods because we believe they contribute substantially to plate waste, reduced participation in the school lunch and breakfast programs, and a decline in the consumption of nutritious foods in school," Ms. Foreman said. "The proposed regulations prohibit the sale of those foods that do not make a positive nutritional contribution to children's diets, dietary habits, and appetites." The regulations define candy as a processed food consisting of sugar, corn syrup, or other sweeteners. These may be combined with other ingredients such as chocolate, dairy products, egg products, fruits, nuts, flavorings, and colorings. Candy items include hard candy, creams, jelly and gum-like candies, mar- shmallow, nougats, fudges, toffees, caramels, glazed candies, chocolates and chocolate-coated candy, fruits and nuts. Chewing gum is defined as flavored products made from natural or synthetic gums and other ingredients which form an insoluble mass for chewing. The definitions for soda water and frocen desserts in the proposed regulations are based on definitions provided by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Frozen desserts in­ clude flavored ice bars and sherberts. Copies of FDA'd definitions are available upon request from USDA. The department is inviting comments on the proposed regulations. All comments on the proposed regulations and requests for FDA's definitions for soda water and frozen desserts should be sent to Margaret O'k. Glavin, Acting Director, School Programs Division, Food and Nutrition Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. 20250, by June 9. The proposed regulations were scheduled to appear in the Federal Register of April 25. Anyone interested in par­ ticipating or wanting further information on Illinois' National School Lunch program should contact Robert E. Ohlzen, Food and Nutrition Programs Section, Department of Federal and State Grants, Office of Education, 100 North First Street, Springfield, 111. 62777.

For Small Business FIGHTING FOR INDEPENDENCE Small businesses, directly or indirectly, provide a livelihood for more than 100 million Americans. They account fix* 43 percent of the Gross National product, 48 percent of the Gross Business product (excluding farms and government), and 55 percent of all private, non-farm employment. In other words, small businesses are vital to the American economy. And they are something else. They are a testimony to the independent spirit that got this country started and has kept it going for the past 200 years. But small businesses are in trouble today. Inflation is making their costs soar and their profits dwindle, and they are having a tough time competing with larger firms. They are being buried in a mound of required state and federal paperwork that they don't have the time to do themselves or the money to get someone else to do. Unions have raised wages so high that they can't afford to hire more full-time employees, and since the federal government has raised the minimum wage again, many have even had to lay off part-time employees. Legislation which is supposed to help all business is often really only helpful to big business. The Carter administration's tax proposals are a good example. The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), an organization with 520,000 small business members across the country, stated recently that the 1,300 largest U.S. corporations will receive more than 75 percent of the administration's business tax reduction proposal, while the nation's small firms will receive less than 5 percent. "President Carter promised substantial help for small business in his tax proposal," noted NFIB President Wilson S. Johnson. "Unfortunately, the President's eloquence far outstripped what he actually had to offer." The week of April 30 to May 6 has been designated as National Small Business week. Politicians might consider observing it by working on some legislation which will give small business a boost-some meaningful tax relief, for example. Their constituents could observe it by supporting the small businesses in their neighborhoods. Let's give small businesses a pat on the back. They deserve it. Ser«'cc | profess'""" pirec10'^ EARL R.
