A sunrise vigil with a fishing pole. The waters of Illinois are motioning to you to stop and play, to delight and refresh, to pause and reflect. And ever increasing numbers are answering the summons and are heading for the shores, and the meadows surrounding the lakes, the rivers and the streams. To some the water's,attraction is the competitive race, to others a tension releas and to still others an aesthe uplifting. Hie Bureau of Outdoor Recreation reports: " Americans continue to turn to the outdoors for recreation, relaxation, and rewarding use of their leisure time as never before. By the year 2000, our participation in the major forms of summer time outdoor recreation activities will be four times greater than it was in 1960." With one decade almost gone, ifs time to consider if Illinois' recreational facilities are expanding rapidly enough to meet the needs of the year 2000. And the answer is "NO". And what's worse, some of the existing bodies of water have deteriorated to the point that, in their present condition, they are unsafe for swimming, skiing, boating; unsafe even to be near. Why? Because they are polluted. And polluted water is dangerous, harmful, even destructive to man, animal and property. When you swim in polluted water, you flirt with intestinal disease, skin irritation, rashes, eye, ear and nose infection. Instead of providing a much needed change of pace, your happy holiday to the shore leaves you burdened with physical discomfort and burdened with doctor's fees when it was physical and mental renewal that you were seeking. A sudden change in water temperature, while momentarily inconveniencing to the swimmer, can create mass fish fatalities, leaving many fisherman without trout and bass biters. Temperature variation, often the result of an industrial institution dumping water used for cooling into a stream, can create an increase in animal growth, without an accompanying rapid oxygen build-up, and end in too many death certificates for too many sport fish. And the principal in the song favorite of all would-be nomads "My Heart Goes Where the Wild Goose Goes" -- is not immune to the perils of water pollution. For a landing on an oil coated stream could be a last landing for wild geese. Their oil weighted feathers could cause them to drown, a sight that would be horrifying to a child, devastating to an adult. Oil is also a fire hazard that, upon igniting, could turn boats and docks into ashes. Silt, which darkens the stream, which sometimes produces an unpleasant odor, together negate the aesthetic qualities which draw people to walk the beaches, to travel the boun- \dary roads. Because water pollution knows no boundaries, not even political boundaries, it is probably that the pleasure giving hours are numbered for the unpolluted waters of Illinois today as bodies of polluted water flow into the now unpolluted water. £ But, those who love the water and want it to ripple brightly for their children and their children's children can do something to assure that unpolluted water will remain unpolluted and polluted water will become unpolluted. And you can do more. You can provide the new recreational facilities that are so badly needed now - Illinois is near the bottom of the states in amount of public recreational areas - and that will be so desperately needed in 2000. The Bureau of Outdoor Recreation predicts that by 1980, swimming will become the number one outdoor recreation activity, and will hold that spot in the year 2000. Now, in 1968, very few of our public bodies of water are entirely free of pollution. , By 1980 there will be 13 million people demanding boating, camping, swimming, and fishing water within easy driving range of their homes.

THE WEEK'S LETTER: I am seventeen years old, and I have two boys in my life, but only love one of them. I am engaged to one boy and I like him a lot, but I still love the other. I have been in love with him for four years now. He says he loves me, but I am not sure he does. During the past two years, we have gone together and have broken - up several times. Each time, he asked me to go back, and, because I love him, I always do. We have been separated a year now and he has been trying to see me. The brfy I am engaged to is away, but will be back soon. The other boy called and I double dated with him and a couple of friends. Now he comes around to see me and calls, about once a week. Am I wrong to continue to see him, even though I love him? He was my first love and I am still crazy about him. What should I do in a situation like this? I like the boy I am engaged to, but I can't forget my first love Should I continue to see my first love or stop? I know that since' 11 am engaged, I shouldn't see him, but every time he comes arouna or asks me for a date, I can i resist him. Please give me some help. I don't know what to do. OUR REPLY: You certainly don't know what to do. How did you manage to become engaged to a boy you like I Did you have any plans to marry this boy that you like ? If you are really engaged to this boy, you know that you are being unfair to hiinby dating while he Is away. This is bad enough. But the real plum in the whole pudding is the fact that the boy you are engaged to may have the lot® you are in love with him. Give him a break. Write'him a letter and tell him exactly how you feel about him. Then, if you really want him, see if your first love Is interested in engagement and marriage.
