I GRASSHOPPER THREAT & Grasshoppers are abundant enough in Illinois this year to do extensive damage if weather is favorable to them, according to Dr. Harlow B. Mills, chief of the Illinois Natural History Survey. "A moderate grasshopper threat prevails m over the northern two-thirds of the state," Dr. Mills said. "If drouth conditions are present in June, extensive damage and the necessity for large scale grasshopper operationsare expected." Twenty-nine cities with programs for control of Dutch elm disease reported that they lost less than 1 p«"r cent of their elm trees in 1961, Dr. Mills said. Research aimed at controlling * Dutch elm disease by chemical means is being continued , by the Natural History Survey. \|T PAYS TO ADVERTISE PROFE^iOnflL DIRECTORY 7) EARL R.

Given Someone, Somewhere, Daily One of the most fascinating and swift moving dramas which involve many people fis enacted often through the Illinois Eye Bank, where sight is restored to those who live in a world of darkness. Many times each month, the sightless are given a chance to return to a productive life in a world of light through the compassionate act of someone donating eyes after death. This__ac_t^^designated--b-y--x)ne~4seisonr--makes--it--possible--fortwo people each to have one eye. Whether it is a miracle or a disappointment is not known for at least three months, and it depends many times on the attitude of the patient. For one, the miracle may be the ability to travel unaided, while another might experience disappointment if he could not read fine print. Only one tragedy ' remains in the story, and that is the length of the list of patients waiting to have their sight restored and the critical shortage of donor eyes. This is a true story of the wonder of modern science, which conies true some place each day through the compassion of our fellow humans and the skill of specialists. This picture of the late Dr. William Hepburn will bring fond memories to his many friends and patients in the Ringwood and McHenry area. It was taken more than seventy years ago, before he decided on medicine as a career. A native of Ohio,, he taught school for a time before entering medical school. At the time of his death a year ago, he was the veteran among county physicians, having practiced for sixty years.

E v e n t h o u g h strontium levels are e,xpe.clcd to increase slightly during the next several months, they, are not expected to reach levels at which it would be necessary to consider protective measures. Present monitoring of milk is not a danger signal. Our milk is safe. Since milk is one of our most vital food products, its quality must be tested routinely for health reasons. Milk lends itself to special testing for radioactivity, since it is produced throughout the year in all sections of the country. Samples are always available and it is one of the easiest foods to test at central points. Milk samples provide a valuable index to human intake of radioactivity from other foods and water. Also, since the source of radioactivity in milk originates mainly in plants which have received fallout deposits, agricultural scientists have obtained important information on the air-rninfall-soil- I plant-.mimal-man cycle. This I knowledge is valuable for the ! n a t i o n ' s e v e r y d a y h e a l t h a n d I would be vital to survival in | event of nuclear attack. I Economist Sinter!

For quite some time now the question has been pondered whether or not Illinois will some time in the near future be saddled with a state income tax. No one can say at this point, but it is interesting to learn that a number of associations have banded together to back an amendment proposal on a "standby" basis; that is, the kind of amendment that could be supported when, and if, any action is seriously considered by the General Assembly. . The proposal was introduced at the last session of the General Assembly as State Joint Resolution 14. As to a state income tax, this proposal would allow the General Assembly to levy a non-graduated tax on the income of every person and corporation at a flat tax i?a7e only with the people's approval. The tax on corporations and individuals would be at the same rate. However, once the Legislature passed such a tax, it could not be levied without first submitting the question at a state-wide election, and unless a majority of those voting on the question approved the levying^ of such a tax. The proposition submitted to the voters would have to specify the maximum rate of tax which might be levied. Backers oN the proposal feel it has more protection for the taxpayers in regard to a state income tax than the present Constitution, because under the present revenue article it is the consensus of opinion of some leading tax attorneys that a flat rate income tax can be levied by the General Assembly without voter approval.

CONSTRUCTION COSTS "Dear Editor: "According to an article p r i n t e d i n t h e W a u k e g a n Sun Times June 6, 1962, the Illinois Division of Highways announced apparent low bidders on four Lake and McHenry county projects. The biggest job was for $69,041 for 3.17 miles of bituminous concrete resurfacing. "Divided by miles, it means a cost of at least $19,800 per mile. I personally feel it is time we, the citizen taxpayers, should be interested and informed why. Just how much material used at what price? How much labor and how long?
