These pollution levels are well below 1,000, which if reached, should .sound a note of warning. Kirby Walker, who makes the report, goes on to say, "Recent figures in Wonder Lake and in the Chain O Lakes, and information from other parts of the U.S. suggests that with sewage plants properly designed and operated, and effluents properly chlorinated, levels below 1,000 can -be maintained. "Furthermore, expert opinions with regard to safe' swimming indicate the limits 2,500 and 7,(XX) quoted in Illinois are entirely too high. Perhaps they are explained by the fact that unlike some other areas, Illinois has permitted effluents to be dumped into our streams without chlorination. A full report on this situation should be ready in the near future."

Legion News Wonder Lake Post No. 1169 gained recognition from t>e | Department of 111. for^-bmng j the first post in the state to I attain its 100 per cent membership, as well as being the first in McHenry county. The colorful containers for donations for gifts to hospitalized war veterans that you see in the business plates, have been placed there in order to give you a chance to help them make this Christmas a happy one for 15,000 sick and disabled male and female veterans in f o r t y - n i n e h o s p i t a l s in t h e State. This very worthy project was started in 1944 on a nationwide scale but has since been abandoned for all Legion departments except the Department of Illinois. Here, the many hospitalized war veterans are still looking to us to carry on this Christmas tradition which has come to mean so much .to them. Not only are these veterans confined to beds or wheelchairs, in rather bleak surroundings, but many of them will not even receive a visit from any loved one. This is why, each year, the Legion sends out this appeal for funds •••'th which to purchase gifts for these veterans who served their country. .

' 21 A column for teen-agers By Dan Halligan Teen-agers write to me everyday and one of their most consistent subjects is "going steady." Many teen-agers, especially girls and boys in their young teen, years, go steady and actually don't know why -- belieye it or not. Because this subject is always a matter of discussion, I'm repeating some of the arguments for and against that type of dating as given by high school students. If you're going steady and really don't know why, make sure you read this column. Several popular reasons include the following: 1. A girl or boy always knows he or she has a date for the important social events of the high school year. 2. It's less expensive than "playing the field." The girl doesn't necessarily havepto have a new dress for important dates. The boy doe^n'-Ottave to worry about spending several dollars on each date^ because in time the couple will be cont#ht in taking a ride,, taking a walk or staying at the girl's house. 3. The girl and boy eventually feel they're a part of the other's family and if they can't get along with their own parents, believe they do have other adults who will "understand" them and their problems. 4. All humans want to "belong" or know that some orie cares. In having a steady, a teen-asej believes h£ or she is someone "special." - 5. Going steady is a "must" because "everybody's doing it." 6. Going to last-minute arranged parties at school or at a friend's house where a girl or a boy must bring a date •s no trouble when a date can be arranged with the steady ^by a quick phone call. A couple dating steady can always feel they have someone to confide in at anytime. A girl may know more about her boy friend's troubles, thoughts and ambitions than his parents. The same is true in reverse. Arguments against steady dating include the following: 1. The boy and girl gradually shut themselves off from their other friends and miss out on fun with "the gang." 2. Dating only one individual, boy or girl, will eventually result in the teen-ager having a one-sided point of view where members of the opposite sex are concerned. All teen-agers may be alike but at the same time they are quite different. 3. Going steady more often than not invites familiarity. Most boys wouldn't think of parking on a first date with a girl. However, parking in some cases becomes an accepted part of each date or is the date itself Where ^oifig steady is involved. 4. Too many boys who go steady eventually -believe they "own" the girl and should have Certain personal privileges Girls, in order to keep their boy friends and "prove" that their love is more than just talk, grant those privileges. 5. The break-up in most cases isn't worth the enjoyment of steady dating. If a girl and boy lost interest in "each other at the same time, there's no harm done. However, in the large majority of cases, only one of the two involved meet Monday, Dec. 12, at 2, for their quarterly meeting. Anyone who would like to serve in this ministry of love and mercy, visiting the sick and shut-in in our community and the institutions in the area, i& welcome to attend. #vThe Altar Guild meets at the parsonage Wednesday, Dec. 14, at 8 p.m. All are welcome to come and help in the holiday planning^ncT decoration of the church. A program will also be presented. The junior choir will have its Christmas party Friday, Dec. 16, at 7:30. Members are asked to bring a fifty cent gift for exchange.

Studies may suffer drastically because more attention is being given to ,the steady than to the books. 7. A boy may go into unnecessary debt for his girl, For example, buying a car he can't afford. 8. Steady dating at too early an age may ruin a teenager's future. Life-long plans for college may be discarded lor a marriage right after high school graduation or even during high school.
