Sen.

Chnrles H. Percy. told the Palatine Fourth of July crowd yesterday. "The longer I'm in government, the more I realize that we can't depend on legislation to solve all problems." Percy said. "We must work together to solve the problem of the elderly, one-fourth of whom live in abject poverty.

Ninety per cent of all single women over G5 have no income but social security," he said. Last week, the government was able to help the elderly by increasing social security benefits, to "make sure the cost, of living raises for the elderly are the same as the ones at the CM plant. What's good for GM is good for the elderly" Percy said. EQUALIZING PAY for women and revamping certain welfare programs were other problems areas that government could influence, he added. "What we (the government) can't do is visit the elderly, the abandoned, the lonely, in rest homes," Percy said.

He told the young people to "just moke arange- ments to go visit a nursing home" before copping out on society. "Just drop in. read them a book, help write a letter. They'll never stop thinking and talking about your visit." Government can't do that, Percy said. "It can supplement income, but sometimes you just can't do anything from the heart" at the government level, he said.

Percy made frequent references to a prize-winning essay written by Lance Ankcorn, a Carl Sandburg Junior High School student, on "What I Can Do'ti Make America a Better Country." Both formal education and a practical "awareness of problems" is important, Lance wrote, and Percy re-emphasized the point. "We should relate the education of what our job is to our free society. Education should be put to work to solve problems and identify them," Percy said, ON THE PROBLEMS of drugs and patriotism, Percy said, "We cannot just say 'our country, right or "Today is a day of soul-searching. None of us would want to be complacent," Percy said. He told the audience he was pleased by President Nixon's announcement of Project Horizon, celebrating the upcoming 200th anniversary of the United States.

TWO EXTREMES marched down Palatine streets yesterday during the Fourth of July parade. First came the ROTC Great Lakes Naval marching unit poised, precise, perfect. But then, along came the Schaumburg Jaycees, all "undressed" in their salmon pink thermal underwear. No one escaped rheir deadly aim with the squirt bottles.

Parade Had Trappings Oi An Old-Fashion Celebration by JULIE BAUER As soon as the Palatine Fourth of July Parade got started yestereay, Sen. Charles H. Percy, R-HL, was off and running ahead of his car. Percy jumped from the lead car, where he was seated as parade marshal, just as the parade began moving. For most of the rest of the route, from the village hall to Community Park, Percy shook hands and waved as he walked along.

A few kids watched the parade with deluxe accomodations ranging from miniature lawn chairs to bicycles. But most stuck with the forerunner of the front row seat, the curbside. The parade itself had all the trappings of a good old-fashioned hometown celebration complete with beauty queens, candy-thro wing clowns, village digna- drum and bugle corps, antique cars, marching bands, shriners on mini- bikes and floats. While nearly all the floats were festive, one sobered the crowd as it passed. Christ Lutheran Church built their float around a theme of fallen soldiers, asking "When will the wars end?" Spectators began lining the streets 30 minutes before the scheduled 11:30 a.m.

starting time. Percy, his wife, and his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Roger Percy, arrived 15 minutes before the parade began. Village officials and' other community heads had attended a reception in Percy's honor at 10 o'clock, hoping for an opportunity to chat with the senator.

The parade lasted over an hour, followed by a formal ceremony at Community Park, 262 E. Palatine Rd. Afer his speech, Percy presented Lance Ancfcorn with a plaque and a savings bond for the student's prize-winning essay, "What I Can Do to Make America a Better Country." In addition to the award, Lance, a student at Carl Sandburg Junior High, received letters of congratulations from President Nixon, Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie and U.S.
