CALL 385-4704 or 385-1002 PEOPLE AND PROGRAM Commenting recently on the water crisis faced throughout America, Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall said: " Water is the conservation scandal of our generation." But, now something is being done to conserve the vital supply and purity of the air and water as programs begin moving from the planning stage toward action. The first step in Illinois toward combating the declining air, water and land resources, and increasing pollution problems was taken when officials took a long, close look at the resources. From this scouting came the detailed report, " Water for Illinois, A plan for Action" .The report covers the conditions now existing in the State and sets forth constructive recommendations for correcting the defl ciences. The action program was launched last year when the 75th General Assembly passed, on a bi-partisan basis, the referendum entitled the Illinois Resource Development bond is sue. The one billion dollar proposal is the first comprehensive attempt to manage the state's resources. In presenting the plan for action to the legislature, Gov. Otto Kerner said: "For too long we have relied on piece-meal measures to solve our resources problems. The program will be no good unless we put the recommendations into the reality of clean streams, water and open space for recreation, safe water supplies, and freedom from destructive floods." The referendum proposal would provide the financial means to meet the needs of Illinois from .,1968- to 1980 ~ and would prepare the way for a long-range program through the next half century. To help inform the public as to the growing problems of air and water resources, a statewide citizen's committee was formed. Called the Illinoisans for Pure Water and Air, the committee is headed by Maynard P. Venema of Northfield and William L. Rutherford of Peoria. "Our purpose is to alert citizens to the problems we face and point out some of the ways we can combat the crisis," explained Rutherford. "We don't have much time to lose in Illinois if we are to successfully conserve our resources." "The development of flood control facilities, proper management of water supplies, and creation of outdoor recreational areas for our citizens have been too long delayed through indecision and indifference," he explained. Venema pointed out, "The air and water problems we face do not defy solution. We have the technology to slow down, and in spme instances completely halt the pollution of air and water. We know how to create conservation areas and provide recre- >rial facilities. But, knowing lese things doesn't help if we fail to instigate the needed programs". " The fundamental purpose of the proposed bond referendum is to help finance the programs needed^ to provide pure air to breathe and clean water to drink, to clean up waterways for navigation and recreation; provide water for industry and farming and prevent floods," Venema said. On an economic basis, Rutherford pointed out that Illinois is losing incalculable amounts of money each year because of the lack of adequate resources. "Illinois now suffers an average of $30 million a year in flood damage," he explained. "And, this figure is likely to spiral upward unless steps are taken immediately." Both Rutherford and Venema emphasized that Illinois loses millions of dollars each year in tourism because of the insufficient water and recreation facilities. They also explained that the wealth of Illinois depends upon industry, agriculture and transportation -- all areas in whic h air and water purity and supply is essential. "We have to not only consider today's needs, but the demands that will be placed upon our resources in the future," Rutherford said. "The Bond Issue is the only feasible way we can battle the problems and come out ahead in the situation now facing us." laAdon&'l SKN STREET MAIL 1219 N.

McCLORY REPORTS From ^ Washington One of the basic aims of the so-called poverty program is to train, disadvantaged and unemployed persons to perform useful and essential jobs. One can ask most any employer concerning the greatest need of his business and he will reply unhestitatingly: "What I need most are people who are willing and able to work." When the Manpower Development and Training Act was passd in 1962 the Congress intended that persons §hould be trained for employment as mechanics, welders, steam fitters and other skilled trades for which a need existed. However, the results of this program have not been too encouraging. In the first place, many persons were trained to perform jobs for which there was little or no demand. Secondly, the program touched only a few of the so-called hard core jobless. More recently, through the cooperation of the Office of Economic Opportunity find with the active support of private industry, programs of on-the-job training have been initiated by large numbers of industrial firms. Under this program titled JOBS (Job Opportunities in the Business Sector) hundreds of industrial concerns are cooperating in a large scale effort to train 100,000 hard core jobless persons by July 1, 1969. Recruitment for JOBS has been done by the National Alliance of Businessmen, headed by Henry Ford n, board chairman of the Ford Motor company. The program is administered out of Washington by Leo S.Beebe,the NAB executive vice president and a Ford vice president. The Ford Motor company has set a good example by training more than 3500 people who have been hired over a six month period, many from the Detroit ghetto. According to Beebe: "Theturnover has been less among them than among other kinds of people hired during the same period." The estimated federal government cost is $360 million from January, 1968, through June 30, 1969. These funds will be used to reimburse companies for extra training costs involved in preparing the unskilled to hold jobs which the companies are asked to guarantee to the disadvantaged. According to Beebe, business will provide more than the 100,000 jobs that Administration leaders expected to have by June 30, 1969. Many companies are undertaking training programs without receiving any government funds. They feel that training is their obligation whether it involves extraordinary costs or not. In addition, there is an element of self interest in providing them with persons who may, thereafter, become permanent company employees. On-the-job training with a view toward immediate employment appears to have far better results than other plans aimed at employment of the hard core jobless. For instance, so-called educational programs designed to teach the unemployed how to apply for jobs have been quite successful. In other words, the hard core jobless person isn't seeking an education -- he may not even be seeking a job. But when offered active on-the-job training with an immediatepaycheck, his motivation is apt to soar and the transition from nonproductive militancy to friendly cooperation is generally quite striking* Indeed, many concerns which have established training programs for the hard core jobless have been astounded and pleased with the favorable results. However, a new dilemma has arisen between those who are seeking to train the hard core jobless and those who wish to aim their principal attack at the so-called "hard core of the hard core." This latter group includes those with police records and with defiant and anti - social attitudes. Indeed, these persons are frequently the most disruptive elements in the big city ghetto areas. It is reported that administration leaders favor programs aimed at the "hard core of the hard core" whereas businessmen, would prefer to deal simply with the hard core. One conclusion seems distinctly clear -- government programs administered by a federal bureaucracy are inadequate and unproductive. On the other hand, our dynamic free enterprise system holds the key to the problems created by the chronically unemployed. A broad social consciousness of business coupled with the growing need for skilled manpower gives strong indications that both the hard coreandthe "hard core of the hard core" unemployed will yield to the need and demands for social justice and that many thousands of our disadvantaged citizens will find useful and productive careers so essential to their own and to the entire nation's welfare.
