SECTION 2-PAGE6-PLA1NDEAI.ER-WEDNESDAY. MARCH 21, " ' Pla indi .m.fr 1979 Editorial Opinion Spring Dreams This is the time of year we dream visions of grandeur while looking through seed catalogs. The pictures of full-grown fruits or vegetables make the mouth water. . These great expectations often come down to earth as the season gets under way and insects, weather and weeds do their natural part. On the other hand, sometimes we are amply rewarded with the fruits of our labor (and financial outlay) and these become the memorable years. Growing flowers or vegetables, like just about everything else these days, is a science. If we approach the process with the latest scientific knowledge and know-how, results can be quite good. A garden is both good exercise and fun, if we don't make it too large on the basis of spring enthusiasm. And the time may come when a knowledge of gardening and growing things will be important to our survival. Deprogram ming What, you might ask, is deprogramming? It's the word people nowadays use to describe breaking the grip cult leaders have over gullible or idealistic members. Families are said to be paying as much as $25,000, in some instances, to have a son or daughter de-brainwashed. Sometimes this involves kidnapping, holding cult members against their will until they see the (new) light, etc. Many believe cult leaders make slaves out of the young and gullible. Whether one agrees with this version or not, the fact is that today there's a new class of specialists about - deprogrammers. One famous specialist has reportedly deprogrammed 1,600 people to date! (Deprogramming has sharply increased since the murder-suicides at Jonestown.) There are those who believe that deprogramming is life's only hope for some cult members. Yet the courts have generally ruled against the deprogrammers in test cases. And church leaders and civil libertarians believe that trend will continue. It is a spooky business at best, but one some see as the last hope to retrieve a life. And, because of that, this new approach, which incidentally often pays well, is very likely here to stay. Rofl Call Report I (Your Congressmen's Vote) | Here's how area members of Congress were recorded on major roll call votes March 1 through March 7. HOUSE Diggs Issue--The House voted, 322 for and 77 against, to sidestep a votfcfln whether Rep. Charles Diggs, D-Mich., should be expelled from the House. Diggs became a convicted felon last October when a jury found him guilty of 29 counts of diverting employes' salaries to his own pocket. He has. appealed the conviction. With this vote, the House referred to the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct the question of what discipline should be imposed on Diggs by the House. Had the referral move failed, the expulsion vote was in order. Rep. Parren Mitchell, D-Md., a supporter of referral, said the House had no right to expel Diggs. "The will of the people - that is what this House is all about, and if the people want to elect Hitler or a Klansman that is their right, and you and I do not have any right to quarrel with it," he said. Rep. Peter Kostmayer, D-Pa , disagreed, saying: "I think that if (Diggs) had stopped voting and if he had not insisted on continuing...I would not be here prepared to vote to expel him from this House." Members voting "yea" wanted to avert a vote on expulsion. Reps. Bennett Stewart, D-l, Morgan Murphy, D-2, Edward Derwinski, R-4, John Fary, D-5, Henry Hyde, R-6, Cardiss Collins, D-7, Dan Rostenkowski, D-8, Sidney Yates, D-9, Abner Mikva, D- 10, Frank Annunzio, D-ll, Philip Crane, R-12, John Erlenborn, R- 14, Tom Corcoran, R-15, George O'Brien, R-17, Robert Michel, R- 18, Tom Railsback, R-19, Edward Madigan, R-21, Daniel Crane, R- 22, Melvin Price, D-23, and Paul Simon, D-24, voted "yea." Rep. Robert McClory, R-13, voted "nay." Rep. John Anderson, R-16, did not vote. Budget Cutting--The House voted, 262 for and 139 against, to spend $38 million that both the Administration and the Appropriations committee had wanted taken out of the health resources budget approved last year by Congress. The money is for grants to schools of medicine, osteopathy and dentistry' and various nurses' training programs. The Administration wanted the cut as part of an overall $700 million "rescission" in the current fiscal year budget. The vote came during debate on HR 2439, later passed and sent to the Senate. Rep. Harley Staggers, D-W. Va., a supporter of keeping the $38 million in the budget, said that "if any member votes for these rescissions and goes to the hospital, I don't know how he can look any nurse in the eye." Rep. Robert Bauman, R-Md., an opponent, called this vote the "first test" of the 96th Congress' commitment to budget-cutting. "If you cannot exercise the judgKjent the people want and vote in favor of a balanced budget as you promised in the recent elections, then the people ought to watch closely each member's records and act accordingly in i960," he said. Anderson did not vote. 2,CM Percent--In a vote of 249 for and 163 against, the House approved a $519,000 budget for the Rules committee in 1979. Last year, the committee budget was $19,200. The new figure represents an increase of about 2,600 percent over 1978. The "traffic cop" committee, which controls the flow of bills to the floor, has a new chairman this year, Rep. Richard Boiling, D- Mo. Among other reasons for the larger budget is his addition of two fully-staffed subcommittees. Rep. James Quillen, D-Tenn., a supporter of the funding hike and a committee member, said of the Rides committee: "It has been downtrodden long enough. Do not kick it anymore - because the work of this committee will relieve the pressures of legislative inefficiency and benefit the House." Rep. Dan Lungren, R-Calif ., an opponent, said the 96th Congress has "voted increases in the money we spend on ourselves while we are telling the rest of the country that this is the budget-cutting Congress....I would like to know how a 2,600 percent increase in spending for this committee could possibly be justified." Members voting "yea" favored the budget increase. Anderson did not vote. SENATE Taiwan--The Senate voted, 57 for and 38 against, to table and thus kill an amendment to continue official government-to- government contact with Taiwan. The amendment would have established a U.S. liaison office in Taiwan, rather than the unofficial "American Institute" the Administration wants to establish there while it cements diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China. The vote came during debate on S 245, a bill setting up procedures for continuing commercial, cultural and other unofficial ties between the U.S. and Taiwan. Sen. Jacob Javits, R-N.Y., a supporter of tabling, said that "if you want to normalize relations with the People's Republic of China, you cannot vote for (the Humphrey) amendment." Sen. Gordon Humphrey, R-N.H., an opponent of tabling and sponsor of the amendment, noted that the U.S. formerly had an official liaison office in Peking, and said Taiwan should be treated at least as well in the absence of formal diplomatic relations. Virtually all senators voting "nay" opposed establishing diplomatic relations with Peking. Senators Adlai Stevenson, D, and Charles Percy, R, voted "yea". Conduct Drinking Age Poll Pla indkalew Letters to the Editor Public Pulse (The Ploindooior invites the public to use this this column os on expression of their views on subjects of general interest in our community Our only request is that the writers give • signature, full oddress ond phone number We ask too that one individual not write on the same subject more thon once eoch month We reserve the right to delete any material which we consider libelous or in objectionabla taste ) Senator Jack Schaffer, Cary, and Rep. R. Bruce Waddell, West Dundee, last week began mailing questionnaires to some 8,000 persons seeking their opinions on two important issues before the General Assembly. PARKING VIOLATIONS "Editor: "There are signs posted "no parking" and "parking for handicapped only" but some clouts don't care. They have a drag. The worst clout is one that parks at the mailbox in front of the postoffice mailbox, keys in the ifcrition lock, car running wasting gas, doors lu.ijcked while they go into the postoffice to pick up their mail or stand in line to buy stamps, etc. This is a state violation. "Why should they care, they know the police are nice guys. "If more people would read the Wednesday Plaindealer article on Your Police Department, by Officer Jim Fitzgerald, they wouodn't get in trouble and then feel sorry for themselves. He has some very good information on how to keep out of trouble. So I hope something is done about this condition, or do we have to disregard the law and double park, taking our time and holding up the traffic? "I'm sure there are hundreds of others who feel the same as I do. The officer directing the traffic on Saturdays has enough problems with cars lining up to go to the bank to issue a ticket to some clout. "Save a life by keeping the blood pressure down to mail a letter, and keep some person from stealing a car that is running, unoccupied, because the driver who owns the car is stupid. "Fred Turek" Nuclear Waste Illinois Attorney. General William J. Scott last week said his office would use every resource available to oppose a federal plan to deposit at Morris, 111., radioactive waste from other areas of the nation. Scott said the operation would be located within 100 miles of 8 million people, and urged the Illinois Congressional delegation to oppose the site. Community Building Survey The city of McHenry is seriously contemplating construction of a community building in Petersen park, its cost to be paid for, in part, by Revenue Sharing funds. Council members are anxious to learn the views of the public. For this reason the Plaindealer conducted man-on- * the-street interviews in mid-week. Based on comments received, the public is asked to respond to the following questions. Results of the survey will be published Friday, March 30. * 1-Would you like to see the city build a community building? Yes • No • 2-If you answered yes, do you have a preference on its location? Petersen Park • Nearer the heart of the city • 3-Would you be interested in an outdoor pool? Yes • No • 4-If a choice is to be made, which would you prefer? Community Building • Outdoor Pool • Both • Other comments (Please limit to 25 words): Please fill in coupon and return to the Plaindealc? office, 3812 W. Elm street, McHenry, no later than Friday, March 23. The 33rd district Republican lawmakers are seeking to determine constituent response to proposals to raise the drinking age to 21 and increase the motor fuel tax. The "mini poll" is being mailed to persons who have responded to previous opinion samplings, Schaffer ' and Waddell said. The two questions, "Should the legal drinking age be raised from 19 to 21?" and "Shouldthe state gasoline tax be in­ creased?" are listed on a pre- stamped, return postcard. Also included in the mailing is a letter in which the pros and cons of the two issues are outlined. "Both of these issues are complex and both of them very directly affect the every day lives of each of us," Schaffer and Waddell continued, urging quick return of the question­ naires so that "we can add up the results in time to have this poll completed before a vote is taken on these important issues." The two legislators said that while the constituent sampling is not intended to produce totally scientific results, it will give them a good indication of how residents feel about these two issues. Certification Illinois Department of Public Health Director Paul Q. Peterson last week reminded food service establishment managers that they must be certified. Certification requirements include in­ struction and training, and completion of a department- approved examination. Managers should contact then- restaurant association or public health center to arrange for training and examination. Establish Speakers' Bureau The establishment of a new, no-cost Speaker's bureau of advertising industry experts has been announced by Chicago Advertising club president Sterling C. Quinlan. The new program is intended to provide expert advertising industry speakers to meetings of community, civic, educational, and other non­ profit groups in the greater Chicago area who might be interested in knowing more facts about the advertising industry and its impact on the economic and consumer scene. Developed to provide com­ munity groups with articulate, responsible and enthusiastic spokespersons, knowledgeable on a wide variety of topics, the new program is innovative for the club, Quinlan explained. These volunteer speakers are all top-notch working professionals in the advertising industry in Chicago. There is absolutely no charge or fee for these speakers under the new CAC program, Quinlan em­ phasized. Specifically, Quinlan noted, the new Speaker's bureau program is quite simple in its operations. Program chair­ persons of the various area community groups who wish to request a speaker from the Chicago Advertising club's Speaker's bureau should make their request at least two months prior to the scheduled date of the particular event. Detailed information needed by the CAC Speaker's Bureau should include: -K General speech topic requested. 2. Name, address and telephone number of the in­ dividual making the request. 3. Name and location of the sponsoring organization or group. 4. Date, time and location of the organization's or group's meeting (or specifics of place and time of meeting if not same). 5. Time limit of presentation. 6. Information if the meeting is a luncheon or dinner session. Requests for CAC speakers should be made to: Ms. Christie Graham, director, CAC Speaker's Bureau, Leo Burnett Advertising company, Prudential Plaza, Chicago, 111., 60601; Telephone: (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) 565-5959, Extension 3087. CAC President Quinlan commended Ms. Graham for her efforts in setting the club's Speaker's bureau into operation. He predicted that the no-cost project will gain quick acceptance among the Chicago area's many organizations. At the same time, it will help provide the public with more accurate information about the ad­ vertising industry's role and contributions in the American free-choice system. It will also help dispel many of the ill-founded concepts about advertising's role in working to provide the con­ sumer with better, less costly products and services during today's inflationary spiral.

WEEKLY MARKET REPORT March 13,1979 For the past several weeks, the stock market has given clear evidence of a split personality concerning both individual stocks and how different types of participants should conduct their business. In our opinion, the majority of stocks have not acted well since late January, show weak chart patterns, and have displayed poor rallies during our current market upswing. Unfortunately, this list is dominated by glamour growth stocks and other vehicles which normally are trading delights during rallies. A minority of stocks have been and remain in solid uptrends and have shown characteristics of business-like buying programs. The good acting group has been primarily made up of basic industry companies which control the Dow industrials and explain why that average has often performed better than broader measurements of market activity. The group includes chemicals, coppers, metals, and oils. These stocks tend to move in a steady but too slow a fashion to keep traders happy. Interest in these stocks seems based on severed sound fundamental reasons and some wishful thinking. The very strong level of current business activity combined with fairly full utilization of capacity is resulting in firm prices and big earnings. Combined with low by historic standards price-earnings multiples. These stocks have and continue to make sense for long term investors. The wishful thinking part of the equation is the assumption we will have a soft landing in the economy and no recession stiff enough to cut into optimistic earnings projections. In a fairly permissive market environment as we have now, all that spells further modest gains. The other good actors have been casino stocks and take over stories neither of which do we feel to be appropriate for conservative investors and for only a very few traders. With the market still in a month and a half old limbo and classic volatile stocks not performing well, the split personality has made it a tough game for traders and some validly have decided to sit it out for the moment. Our approach for traders has to build cash or go short the glamour growth stocks which are in downtrends. For long term investors, buying selected issues while maintaining some cash reserves still seems appropriate. Helped by the improved news from Israel-Egypt, China-Vietnam, Iranian oil, and a market only modestly overbought the current advance in our trading range can continue a bit longer. However, in our opinion the outlook for inflation and the money market combine with the internal dynamics of the stock market to make us remain cautious near term and to project at least another test of 780-820 and a base building period. How stocks act around 800 could be the key to the next several months. A1 Goldman Directory Assistance The Illinois Commerce Commission last Thursday authorized Illinois Bell Telephone to allow two directory assistance requests per call. Bell estimates the loss of revenue through this service will be offset by a reduction of operator time in determining caller location, a necessary function under the previous system. The new service is effective immediately. Seriu*c pro1 flirec & iortttl •tor? EARL R. WALSH & JACK WALSH INS. Fire, Auto. Farm. Life Representing RELIABLE COMPANIES 4410 W Rte 120.
