rrtuij fcy -1 unn^uC/^ixn • *v I, uv i uuun u, >«ai PLAINDEALER -- lldilorial Opinion Available Work From time to time it's good to remind idealists, dreamers and deadbeats alike that work is usually available in this country for those who really want to work. What isn't available, often, is the right job, at the same old plant, the same kind of work, easy work, or one's preference. But if one will take what he can get, temporarily, in the old American tradition, there's plenty of work available in most areas of the country. Unemployment figures are mostly meaningless for this reason, because they're calculated to include young people, many third or fourth employes in a family, those who won't work except in jobs they like, etc. So, next time it's said that unless we providejnake-work jobs for everyone--especially those chronicallyisiit of work-- we're inviting riots and social trouble, suggest that those complaining read the classified ads. They have job opportunities-and that's only the tip of the opportunity iceberg, for those who really want to work. The American Dream The future of the United States, the happiness of its citizens, relates directly to how well younger generations understand this country, its past-and what it took t.o make this country what it is. America has been the land of opportunity for two centuries. It has been easier to make one's way up from the bottom, here, than anywhere else in the world. We have been blessed with good land, natural resources and a heritage of democracy and free enterprise. But all that could have meant little if America's early settlers had not worked hard, and sacrificed, to make this country strong and affluent. That often meant a lifetime of hard work by German, Irish, Scandinavian, Italian immigrants, and many black Americans-not just a few years of effort. Millions of well-placed Americans today owe their security to hard-working parents who toiled long and hard with very little, often on virgin land, to make a new start in the new world. These Americans were the American dream. They made it come true. Others, slaves and indentured servants, endured long years of toil to finally get their start. Hard work, pride, the will to better one's position, the American way ~ this eventually made us the strong America. Work is not everything, but it is usually necessary for advancement and happiness. The danger today--and older Americans point this out to younger fellow citizens-is that in the more urbanized life we live, with so many depending more and more on the government (other citizens) for all kinds of support, with so many in lucrative government jobs, with so many conveniences and so much easy living and stress on pleasure, the old spirit will be lost. America in the future will only be as strong as its people. That means if others work harder, appreciate the necessities of national strength and security better, and Americans grow even softer from easy living, the American dream and spirit of two centuries will have been lost. Revamp Public Aid Payments To Hospitals Gov. James R. Thompson announced that he has made changes in legislation revamping the process by which public aid payments are made to Illinois hospitals, moves that will save the .state more than $106 million "This bill, as enacted, followed intense negotiations involving the General Assembly, the Ad­ ministration and medical providers," Thompson said in his amendatory veto message to the legislature. "Most participants agreed that there were more desirable ways in which hospital spending could be contained" to stay within spending limits. House Bill 811 provides an 8 percent spending cap on the rate increase for r e i m b u r s e m e n t s t o hospitals. It also outlines a 14 percent reduction in the number of in-patient days the Department of Public Aid will pay for Thompson, in recom­ mending changes in the measure for legislative approval, added a provision that calls for the Depart­ ment and hospitals to enter into an agreement that limits total payments to hospitals to 1981 levels, giving them more flexibility in meeting the $106 million in savings. The recommendations now return to the General Assembly Other legislation the Governor approved in­ cluded: House Bill 1435, a bill that exempts in­ ternational banks from state corporate income taxes in I l l i n o i s . I n t e r n a t i o n a l banking facilities would be allowed to conduct certain transactions under Federal Reserve Board supervision according to the provisions of the bill. International banks in Illinois are at a disad­ vantage compared to other financial centers in the country. What this bill does is give a tax incentive to international banks in Illinois, allowing them to compete more effectively in the foreign bank market," Thompson said. "The result of this legislation will allow those banks to pass savings on to their customers." Senate Bill 700, a measure that adds 70 new judges to the Illinois court system by amending an act concerning the number, appointment and retirement of associate judges. The Cook County court system will receive 20 of the new judges, while downstate courts will receive the other 50. The legislation also corrects a problem in the airport search law. The bill clarifies the Airport Search Act and increases the penalty for violations from a Class B to a Class A misdemeanor. I WONT LEAVE.' F o r Y o u r I n f o r m a t i o n Dear fr iend*.

Hurricane season is upon the millions of Americans who live within 30 miles of the nation's shoreline. Researchers are con­ ducting studies into how and why people respond--or fail to respond--following the warn­ ing that a hurricane seems like­ ly to strike nearby. By under­ standing the factors that in­ fluence people to either leave or stay during an approaching storm, it may be possible to de­ sign emergency programs to get their attention. Roll Call Report (Your Congressmen's-, Vote) Washington--Here's how area members of Congress were recorded on major roll call votes Oct 1*7. HOUSE Social Spending--By a vote of 168 for and 249 against, the House refused to inflict deeper cuts in a bill appropriating $87.3 billion in FY 1962 for education, welfare, jobs, health ana other ftocial programs. The vote was yet another major test of the president's economy plan. Rejection of this motion to return the bill (HR 4560) to committee for further cuts invites a presidential veto. The White House considers the price tag at least $763 million too high. The bill is to hind the departments of Education, Labor and Health and Human Services and, next to the defense bill, is die largest appropriations bill. Rep. Ralph Regula, R-Ohio, a supporter of deeper cuts, said "clearly the bill before us is a candidate for a veto. It is over the president's budget and our own budget targets." Opponent Silvio Conte, R-Mass., said the bill "is America's investment in humanity...." Members voting "yea" agreed with President Reagan that the social spending bill was too coStlv. Rep. Robert McClory, R-13, voted yea." Rep. Lynn Martin, Ft-16, did not vote. Voting Bight*--The House rejected, 132 for and 277 against, an amendment removing D.C.federal courts as the only place where states and subdivisions can seek exemption from the Voting Rights act. The amendment sought to allow three- judge federal court panels around the country to handle such cases. The amendment was offered to HR 3112, an extension of the Voting Rights act that, in part, exempts jurisdictions that can prove at least 10 years of nondiscriminatory treatment of minority voters. The biljl was sent to the Senate. Sponsor Caldwell Butler, R-Va., said "there are many better uses of local dollars than this sort of long-range litigation...To argue that these cases be heard in Washington is to argue for delayed justice. And to delay justice is to deny justice. Opponent Don Edwards, D-Calif., said that hearing voting rights litigation in D C. courts is necessary "to insure impartial decision-making free of local bias and political pressures." Members voting "nay" wanted D.C. federal courts to continue as the sole jurisdiction for determining whether a state or subdivision should be exempted from the Voting Rights act. McClory voted "yea." Ms. Martin voted "nay." Milk Supports--The House rejected, 1S3 for and 243 against, a dairy price support plan favored by Administration budget cutters but opposed by the dairy industry. A key feature was to set milk price supports at 70 percent of parity. Left intact by the vote was legislation letting supports rise to 72.5 percent of parity in FY 1983 and to 75 percent or higher in 1984 and 1985 if production is held down sufficiently. Parity is defined by the government as theoretically a fair market price for farm commodities. The vote came during debate on the new four- year farm bill (HR 3603) that was headed for final passage and conference with the Senate. Supporter Barney Frank, D-Mass., said: "The dairy price support program has become a very serious national problem...a classic case of a problem which brought forth a solution which has in turn eclipsed the problem and become the problem itself." Opponent Berkley Bedell, D-Iowa, said dairy farmers and other farmers need fair treatment by the government and that "with unemployment levels on the increase nationally, we do not need more rural residents leaving the farm to take up work in the city." Members voting "yea" supported a less costly dairy price support program. McClory and Martin voted "nay." SENATE Cable TV--The Senate adopted, 59 for and 34 against, an amendment preserving the authority of municipalities to regulate rates that cable television companies charge subscribers. The vote occurred during debate on a bill (S 898) deregulating the telecommunications industry that was passed and sent to the House. Sponsor Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., said senators "do not know enough about cable television yet to write any legislation, especially legislation that destroys a prerogative of the mayors and supervisors of this country." Opponent Bob Packwood, R-Ore., said he preferred a compromise under which municipalities could control rates for cable rebroadcasting of commercial TV programming but not rates for pay-television programming such as Home Box Office. Senators voting "yea" favored letting municipalities have full authority to regulate cable TV rates. Sens. Alan Dixon, D, and Charles Percy, R, voted "yea." AT&T--By a vote of 26 for and 68 against, the Senate rejected an amendment affecting AT&T's ability to compete with other telecommunications companies. At issue was a bill (S 898, see preceding vote) deregulating the telecommunications industry but keeping AT&T's telephone operations under federal regulation. The amendment sought to require that 10 percent of the stock of any AT&T unregulated subsidiary - such as a data processing company - - be independently owned, so as to guard against AT&T using its telephone profits from subsidizing the subsidiary. Sponsor Ernest Hollings. D-S.C., said independent ownership of the AT&T subsidiary would insure fairer competition. Opponent Bob Packwood, R-Ore., said watchdog agencies such as the F CC and SEC would "guarantee that there will be no nefarious self-dealing between the (AT&T) affiliate and the parent." Senators voting "yea" favored 10 percent independent ownership of any unregulated AT&T subsidiary operating in the telecommunications field. Dixon and Percy voted "nay." from H/STORV'S SCRAPBOOK DATES AND EVENTS FROM YESTERYEARS October 22, 1836 - Sam Houston takes oath of office as 1st pres­ ident of the Republic of Texas.

The lecture is sponsored by Teletechnology International Inc., McHenry, with the cooperation of Libertyville, Mundelein, Vernon Hills and McHenry Chambers of commerce. Dr. Peikoff's philosophy is not to be in­ terpreted as being the philosophy of the McHenry Area Chamber of Com­ merce, but merely a stimulating analysis of a philosophy. Dr. Peikoff's topic presents a thought- provoking defense for capitalism and its fun­ damentals, tracing its idealogical basis from the Renaissance to the founding of America: a system of reason, individual rights, a man's self-esteem. Today, strangulating controls, burgeoning taxation and diminishing productivity surround the business man. Dr. Peikoff provides the intellectual ammunition necessary to effectively support and defend the concept of capitalism. He presents the "hows and whys" of the progressive deterioration of this philosophy that has resulted in the present day mixed economy. He documents the relationship of Capitalism and individual rights, stressing the restoration of these rights as necessary to secure the survival for a free enterprise system. He dispels the unearned guilt felt by many businessmen and states firmly that businessmen are the "force" which has made this the most abundant country in history of mankind. Dr. Leonard Peikoff is a professor of philosophy who has taught at New York university, University of Denver and Polytechnic of Brooklyn. Today's Forecast The best meat buys at the supermarket change as quickly as the weather. Cuts from the chuck and round have jumped in price, while the cuts from the loin and rib have dropped. They will probably rise again soon. Another example is pork, which has been high in recent weeks. Pork, along with poul­ try, is a good buy right now. The best buy is usually the whole shoulder rather than a boneless half, for some of the most tender tidbits are around the bone. You can debone the pork shoulder or roll it and tie it for the barbecue or rotisserie. Or cube it for pork kabobs or any other dish calling for cubes of lean pork. At the produce counter, you'll find an abundance of fall fruits and vegetables. Cabbage, bell peppers, winter squash, apples, lemons and limes are good buys. Grapes and white potatoes are dropping,in price and new­ ly-dug sweet potatoes are com­ ing in. These potatoes will be sweeter later in the winter.
