The American people prate about their appreciation of what the men in uniform have achieved. In the wars in which the naTion has been inyolved, "but are not willing to depart from the noimal days routine to pay honor, and To all hut a very few, N6- vembef 11 is-just another date on the calendar. It was November 11, 1918 when Kaiser Wilhelm surrendered and sued for peace, a joyous conclusion to a bloody and difficult war. It had been a war to end all wars i a and the populace was happy and all were certain Armistice Day would go down in history to rank with other great events in American history. But it wasnt the war to end all wars for despite the fact the people were promised that not an American man would be sent across seas to engage in conflict, World War II emerged.

The millions of men and women saw the war through to a conclusion, but instead of another holiday it was ordained that Armistice Day should become Veterans Day that we might pay homage to the men and women of all wars.

Nationwide observance is due, but it will require a great reversal of attitude before that goal is attained. As we silently give homage to those who have made it possible for us ta enjoy the benefits of life and offer a prayer for those who have gone to their reward, is it not time that we give wholehearted recognition of the Day? Announce Two Tire Safety Standards By SUE LEONARD With thoughts of attending the Streator Elementary schools open house in their minds, many families had a hurried evening meal last night.

Amid the general confusion of households, as the open house starting time of 7 p.m. approached, there was quite a reversal, of families individual roles. It was no longer Johhny and Janie being hurried along wth warnings -of themoving dock lands as they dressed for school. 7 lr Last evening it was Mom and Dad who were rushed-through their dressing and toiletries to the accompaniment of their childrens pleas to "hurry up Mom or "the other kids will already be there, And the earliest family arriving at any local school was welcomed with bright lights illuminating from all of the classrooms, as well as limited parking space. The long walk from automobiles to the school building served as a time for kindergarten-aged children to be warned by parents that it wasnt "playing" time and for older children to warn their parents that they were to be sure and note certain papers in the classroom displays.

Kindergarten Students While all of the classrooms were a happy confusion that ended in satisfactory enlight-ment by the respective teachers, probably the most humorous scenes took place in the schools various kindergarten rooms. Kindergarten students happily displayed the rugs they take naps on; possessively fingered the tops they play with; and very informally greeted fellow classmates for the benefit of their parents. Kind Kindergarten teachers patiently helped the children to locate their particular drawings or art project to show their parents and commented on how each child was coming along just fine. And each parent certainly came away from each class feeling very glad they had made the effort to attend the open house and gain a small insight into the school life of their chil dren. The teachers pleasant smiles and genuine pleasure at the appearance of each set of parents or arrival of a parent, spoke well for the capable guidance being given respective students in their studies.

And also in the shaping of the youngsters group discipline. The parents and children werent the only ones satisfied with the schools open house, last evening, as various representatives of Streator elementary schools voiced general success in the annual event. The open house was included in the elementary school observance of American Education Week in Streator, when Ralph Martin assumed the duties as Superin-tenderit of Elementary Schools for this community. Garfleld-Grant Bernard Myers, principal of Garfield school, commented that there was a "good crowd at their open house, with the people going from room to room. Youngsters seemed to be very proud in showing their parents around the school.

He concluded that he had enjoyed meeting people he hadn't previously known and that the teachers were well pleased with last evenings WASHINGTON (AB) The government announced today its first two tire safety standards, aimed at providing better protection against blowouts at high speed. One standard will require that after next Jan. 1 laboratory tests be conducted for tire strength, endurance and load ratings. After Aug. 1, 1968, man- ufacturers must provide tread-wear indicators which will show when the tire has been worn to a thickness of one-sixteenth of an inch.

Manufacturers will also have to provide labeling information on size, maximum permissible pressure, maximum load rating and number of plies. The other standard requires that cars made after next March 31 have a permanent plate on the glove compartment stating the manufacturers recommended tire size, ihflation pressure for maximum load and designation seating capacity. It also requires that when a tire loses pressure rapidly, such as in a blowout, the rim be ca-' pable of retaining the tire to a stop from 60 miles an hour. The standards were the first for tires under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966.

Joseph (Lena) Johnson, Streator. He was preceded in death by one son, Lt. Bernard Valesano, who was killed in World War II; and two brothers. He was a member of the Holy Name Society and the sheet-metal Local. The Flood Came President Johnson made, a mistake when he went on television and implored the American people to write to their Congressmen urging their support of his 10 per cent tax increase proposal The result has been the opposite of what he had hoped There is a flood of mail, but it is urging legislators to defeat the increase.

Admittedly, inflation must be thwarted. It is only an opiate that gives the titizen false assurance that all is well, keeps business booming creates wage zooming, keeps costs going No one gains, but everyone loses. Europeans had the taste of inflation after World War II when it was necessary to have a wheelbarrow full of money to buy a loaf of bread. There are two ways in this country today by which inflation can be stifled, even though it has already made costly inroads on the economy. Congress can do, as the President desires, and siphon off individual and corporate income to the degree that business will be forced to slow down.

Building would have to be deferred and industrial expansion delayed; production of new products would come to a standstill. A ten per cent tax increase will accomplish that goal. The other method just as effective is reduced government spending, the pouring of billions and billions of dollars into the business stream of the nations economy. This can be accomplished without upsetting the apple cart, without throwing the gross national product entirely out of gear. It is folly to talk about a tax increase breaking the inflationary Spiral and continue to have the administration maintain its frightening spending level It is essential that we spend to carry on the war until we secure an honorable peace, but there are innumerable domestic projects which can be delayed or cancelled entirely without serious damage to desired services.

Mr. Johnson is determined on the tax increase route, but it is highly questionable that the mood of Congress will permit such a program. Sewer trouble? Let us clean your root clogged sewers. Ernie Emo. Ph.
