SECTION 2 • PAGE 4 - PLA1NDEALER - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25.1980 - FLA1NDEALER --' v. Editorial Opinion Summer Vacations Millions of Americans face summer with the unshaken conviction the entire family must be carted off, some distance, on a two-week vacation at the beach, in the mountains or with Aunt Hattie at Kokomo. But in recent years with traffic, costs and congestion what they are today, vacations sometimes leave participants more depleted at the end than in the beginning. Travel experts tell us vacations needn't be far from home; in fact, they can be taken at home-if the routine can be broken. And if va< ntions are to include travel, it's best not to undertake toe ^ of it, or long travel tied to strict schedules. Even on European vacations, settle for one or two countries per trip. Go in Spring or Fall, if possible, when the crowds are thinned. In this country good ? fi avoid crowds, holiday weekends and heavy tral n decide to rest, rather than push, the end result v, « more enjoyable and recuperative. Protectina Children paper about the accidental have been saved tfy more y Almost daily we read in th death of little children. Man> careful supervision by parents. Too often parents' irresponsibility is to blame for such fatal consequences and few have the heart to say anything at a time of grief following the tragedy. Children burn themselves up, fall from windows, drown, are hit by cars when playing by the road or in it, etc. How often does one see tiny tots playing beside a highway? Maybe it's time to speak out for the old, proven system of careful parental supervision of children. Too many mothers today risk injury or death to their children by leaving them with someone else, by letting them "run free" in the neighborhood, or play where accidents are likely to occur. When tragedy follows, few speak the plain truth. On the contrary, often community efforts follow-to help the parents. But in many cases the parents are to blame for the deaths of little ones who didn't get a chance to grow up because they weren't carefully supervised and protected.

I believe it was a betrayal erf his stated position on this amendment that is being dragged on endlessly by the proponents.

Or W ATER CONTAMINATION Ira M. Markwood, manager of the Division of Public Water Supplies, Illinois EPA, claims that drinking water Con­ tamination by a herbicide in Flora was prevented by quick and proper acBfon taken by the town's certified public water supply operator. He says that having a certified operator at a treatment plant is an invaluable safeguard against breakdowns and contamination incidents.

Respectfully, PETER M.JISTEN & SON FUNERAL HOME Roll Call Report (Your Congressmen's Vote) WASHINGTON - Here's how area members of Congress were recorded on major roll call votes June 5 through June 12. HOUSE Fair Housing--The House voted 205 for and 204 against to put additional enforcement teeth into the 1968 civil rights act that bans discrimination in housing sales and rentals. The vote endorsed the establishment of Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administrative law courts to speedily judge complaints of housing discrimination and, where warranted, levy fines. Presently, persons alleging discrimination have to seek redress in the federal courts, a route that critics say is too lengthy and costly. Hie overall bill (HR5200) later was passed and. sent to the Senate. Rep. Mike Synar, D-Okla., a supporter, said "I need not remind the members of this house of how cumbersome and burdensome the federal court system is at the present time." Rep. Clarence Miller, R-Ohio, an opponent, said the HUD courts could produce "bureaucratic zealotry," and urged the House to "stick to constitutionally prescribed avenues of redress through the federal court system..." Members voting "yea" wanted housing discrimination complaints to be handled by special HUD judges rather than by the federal courts. Rep. Robert McClory, R-13, voted "yea." Rep. John Anderson, R-16, did not vote. Housing Appraisals--The House adopted, 257 for and 156 against, an amendment to keep real estate appraisers from listing information on race, sex, national origin, schools, churches and synagogues in their property reports. The amendment was attached to HR 5200 (see Preceding vote). Rep. Hamilton Fish, R-N.Y., a supporter, said that "to permit appraisers to mention racial and ethnic factors automatically inserts race into deliberations of the lender as to the amount or the actual granting of a loan." Rep. Steven Symms, R-Idaho, an opponent, said appraisers need freedom to list all information about a neighborhood in order to "do their important work honestly, thus benefiting all members of our society." Members voting "yea" wanted to exclude racial, ethnic, religious and certain other information from real estate appraisals. McClory voted "yea." Anderson did not vote. • , Censure--T^e House refused, 97 for and 308 against, to soften from censure to reprimand the penalty imposed on Rep. Charles Wilson, D-Calif., for alleged violations of House rules. The House by non-record vote then censured Wilson for converting campaign funds to personal use and accepting money from. a man with a .direct interest in pending legislation. Expulsion is the severest penalty a congressman can receive from his colleagues. Censure and reprimand are the other penalties. . Defending himself against the House ethics committee charges, Wilson said: "I have never acted in a criminal manner. I have not violated the rules of the House....No one can buy a piece of me. The facts do not support these allegations." Rep. Wyche Fowler, D-Ga., a member of the ethics committee and an opponent of softening the penalty, said that "after hearing the evidence" the committee "regretfully" recommends censure of wilson.

Anderson did not vote. SENATE Drafting Women--By a vote of 40 for and 51 against, the Senate refused to require that women as well as men be registered for the militarv draft. The vote came during debate on a measure (HJ Res 521) appropriating the money necessary to begin registration for the draft. President Carter asked for the money in the wake of Afghanistan. Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, R-Kas., the sponsor, said: "Given the growing role of women in the military, I do not feel we can continue to deny the contributions of women by excluding them from registration." Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., an opponent, said: "As to women serving in the services, I have no argument. I do not think they should be drafted; it should be a voluntary thing." Senators voting "yea" wanted women to be registered for the draft. Sens. Adlai Stevenson, D, and Charles Percy, R, voted "yea." Draft Registration--1The Senate passed, 58 for and 34 against, and sent back to the House a bill clearing the way for President Carter to register young men for possible draft into the military. The measure (HJ Res 521; see preceding vote) appropriates $13.3 million for registering the nation's four million 19 and 20-year-olds. Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., a supporter, said the U.S. "simply could not fulfill mobilization plans in a timely and orderly way without registration." Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis., an opponent, said that among other shortcomings draft registration "does not address the military manpower compensation problem, nor (upgrade) our existing military personnel." Senators voting "yea" supported the President's call for draft registration. Percy voted "yea." Stevenson did not vote. 4-H Family Fun Day Little mother's didn't 1 Mary I Gulp! Willie tugged at his apron strings. "Ma, hear you tell Aunt have your eyes and daddy's nosef" "Yes, you heard correctly," replied the indul­ gent mother. "Well look at me now, " said Willie pointing to his right hand, "I've got Grandpa's teeth, too!" It's the weekend. The house is clean and the weeds won't reappear for a few days yet. The sun is shining and the kids are howling for something to do. Spring fever is definitely in the air. But then you think about the price of gas... - Before reaching for the TV guide, the Illinois Office of Tourism has a new publication which is sure to make you think twice about spending the day indoors. "The Weekend Book", a 48-page full colQr guide to everything outdoors in Illinois and more, has hundreds of close to home ideas from exploring time- forgotten Mississippi rivertowns to hiking the same paths Indians once roamed. Sections on hiking, biking, .fishing, hunting, camping and canoeing will delight the outdoor enthusiast; listings of unusual museums and out- of-the-way antique haunts will please history buffs. There's even a complete directory of campgrounds and state parks, forests anc conservation areas. Of course the Weekend Book doesn't just tell you about the places everyone already knows about. In it you'll find where to eat in a 92-foot tall windmill, where to board a hot-air balloon for a flight over the Fox River are we to be so naive as to believe there is no con­ nection ?
