SPUR OF THE MOMENT The impromptu corned beef and cabbage dinner at the Walt Low home on Saturday, March 17, was the result of Pam and Dan Kehoe returning from a beautiful week in Florida. They visited the Busch Gardens in the Tampa area and Disney World at Orlando. Sue Madey and kids stopped in, and Sue and Pam decided it was a good time for a party; sooo, of course, the menu was corned beef and cabbage. John Madey and, of course, Ray and Tom Low, were called to come join the rest. Cards were played and jokes told with a lot of visiting and note comparing by Dan and Walt, since Walt had recently returned from Florida also. 'Twas a very enjoyable evening.

International >fear of the Child 1979 There are several activities and services available for children and families in McHenry county. This is the fourth in a series of articles to recognize 1979 as the In­ ternational Year of the Child. The high school basketball game was over and dad was home watching the 10 p.m. news. Mom had been waiting in the car ten minutes for their 14- year old daughter, Susan, to appear from the doors of the school. Another five minutes passed and mom grew anxious > as the after game crowd began to disappear from the school. A car entered the parking lot, Susan stepped out and walked toward her mother's car. It had been several months since Susan had felt close to her parents. It seemed that everyone she wanted to do something her parents would say "No". Sometimes she could depend on mom to talk dad into letting her go uptown, but asking permission had become a real hassle. Susan wants her parents to trust her but they won't let her make any of her own decisions. She has been grounded from time to time for breaking the rules. As Susan opens the door it is obvious that her mother saw that she was not at the game and she was caught. Young people and parents find themselves faced with problems like this every day. It might be marijuana, running away, a family fight or problems at school. One thing is for sure; these are not pleasant experiences and may not be easy to resolve. The youth Service Bureau for McHenry County is a place where young people and parents can turn for help with such problems. The YSB is a not-for-profit community based organization which has served McHenry county youth and families since 1976. Services of the YSB in­ clude short term counseling, identification of resources, oufreach, crisis intervention and community education services. Funds to support the YSB are raised locally. The YSB office is located at 840 N. Seminary avenue (Route 47) Woodstock. Interested persons may contact the YSB by stopping by or telephoning 815-338-7360. Certainly everyone does not personally experience these types of problems, but must all share the concern "FOR EVERY CHILD IS MY CHILD". CURTAIN TO RISE-Final notes before opening "Blithe Spirit" at the Woodstock Opera House are being given by Dan Conway, director of the Townsquare Players, playing March 23, 24, 30, 31 and April 6 and 7. Tickets are available at the door. Curtain times for all shows is 8:30. From left, are Gloria Carr of Woodstock, Dan Conway (director) of McHenry, Sandy Rutherford of Hebron and Peg Denker of Crystal Lake. Perspective THE CHILDRElNS TV BATTLE BY RONAIJ) REAGAN There is a battle going on in Washington, D.C. that hasn't matched the Iranian revolution, the Mideast peace talks or the energy crunch for news coverage, but its outcome will have a lasting effect on every parent and child in America. The battle is taking place in a Federal Trade commission hearing room where an inquiry is being conducted into the nature, content and impact of advertising in children's television programs. In par­ ticular it focuses on an FTC proposal to limit (and in some cases ban) some kinds of ad­ vertising to children. Pre- sweetened cereals and toys are, not surprisingly, at the center of the dispute. There are side arguments over the quality of the content of children's television programs, but the central argument is more profound; should parents have the right and duty to decide what their children see on TV and what products they buy for their children, or should the federal government make these decisions through bureaucratic rules? A related issue has to do with the First amendment. Does a curtailment or ban on certain advertising abridge the rights of businesses or take their case to the public? Kenneth Mason, president of the Quaker Oats company, in a speech last fall, described the conflicting interests. He said, "It is perfectly legitimate activity for a cereal company to want to advertise its pre- sweetened cereal on television. But at the same time, it is also a perfectly legitimate activity for parents to express concern if the television programs their children watch the most appear to overemphasize the role of sugared products in the diet." Kids' viewing is no trifling matter, as any parent knows. These days, the average child -- by the time he reaches college age - will have spent more time in front of the TV screen than he has in school, at church or in conversation or play. Mason proposed that the Feder^JU-Communications commission designate Saturday mornings as a special public interest time period for children's programs and that the three networks (working within the context of anti-trust laws) divide up the programming responsibilities for 30 weeks, with reruns being used the other 22 each year. The networks would broadcast the programs simultaneously. Mason says this should lead to better quality programs and still attract the advertiser money which makes program production possible. As for advertising itself, Mason recommended that a special "bumper" be inserted between program content and commercials. His sample for cereals goes like this: "Hi, I'm not part of the program you've been watching, but I'm here to tell you about some com­ mercials you're going to see. They're all for cereals. One thing you should remember is that some cereals have sugar on them and some don't. When a cereal already has sugar on it, you don't have to add any of your own. And when a cereal doesn't have sugar, ask you mom or dad how much they think you should add... Another thing to remember is that cereal alone is not a complete breakfast. You should also have milk and juice and maybe even some toast." On the other side are the various consumerist groups and the self-appointed national nannies. At the FTC hearing, for example, a Consumers Union representative said that a parent should not have to be put in the position of being "an intervenor" between the child the TV set. Heaven forbid a parent should have to make a decision, let alone one that involves saying "no". Skinner Terms RTA Failure It's been five years since the Regional Transportation Authority referendum passed by less than 13,000 votes and RTA critics like State Rep. Cal Skinner Jr. (R-McHenry county) are still waiting for the agency to deliver on the promise of RTA supporters. The promise? "Public transportation, when and where you need it, throughout the region," was what the RTA Citizens Com­ mittee for Better Tran­ sportation pledged when seeking voter support prior to the March 19, 1974, six-county referendum. Skinner believes that the RTA has failed. He believes that RTA has fulfilled the worst expectations of the kNOw RTA group that fought RTA's passage. "Think about it," he says. "We predicted that Chicago would control the RTA; it does. We predicted that most of the money would go to the Chicago Transit Authority; it has. We said that the railroads would benefit more than anyone else in the suburbs; this past year, over three times as much money went to subsidize railroads than went to subsidize buses. "Had it not been for the earmarking of where the RTA gas tax must be spent-which happened after the referendum failed everywhere but in Chicago~I doubt hardly any of RTA's multi-hundred million budget would be spent outside of Chicago," Skinner said. "Even now, CTA-sized buses run virtually empty most of the day in the suburbs and RTA HONDA continues to ignore the real public transportation system outside of Chicago, that is, school buses. "We suggested that the RTA would benefit its employees more than it would the public. The most recent RTA budget reveals that the average RTA and RTA-subsidized carrier employee earns $27,243 in salary and fringe benefits. "I think it's time for the movers and shakers in Chicago to admit that their brain child' is incapable of fulfilling their pre-election promise of'public transportation, when and where you need it, throughout the region," Skinner said. "Assuming we really have an energy crisis, I believe the governor and the legislature must re-think who should receive how much subsidy in getting to work by train or bus. For starters, abolition of the RTA gas tax is certainly in order." SPRING IS HERE... Time For Fun.
