Air and Water Crisis Study Trade Program ACTION MUST FOLLOW RESEARCH ON POLLUTION IN ILLINOIS "We know how to virtually eliminate pollution," says William C. Ackermann, chief of the Illinois State Water Survey. "Our technology is sufficient to solve present problems. But there is a considerable gap between what we know how to do and what we have applied. The Bottleneck now is in bricks and matter." According to Ackermann, the proposed $1 billion Bond Issue for water and air resources can eliminate that bottleneck by providing the fluids to implement the Illinois Water Plan: a product of more than seventyfive years of research. Ackermann makes it clear that none of the money from the Bond Issue is earmarked for research. "The Bond Issue is an action program,1" he says, ^Ut -is for building things like sewage plants and reservoirs, and is' backed up by our research." The State Water Survey, and agency of the State Department of Registration and Education, is financed by a continuing state appropriation. Its primary responsibility is the scientific study of our water resources. At any one time there are fifty to sixty research projects going on dealing with evaluation of water quantity and quality, affecting water resources. "We're interested in clean and dirty water, "Ackermann says. " We bet on future problems here and try to solve them." Research, however, can only uncover problems and propose solutions to them. It takes money to turn research into action. Ackermann cited a five-year study of potential reservoir sites in Illinois as a good example of a solid piece of research that can become reality if the Bond Issue passes in November. This study shows where and how over eight hundred reservoirs can be built in Illinois for water storage and recreation. The study involved a long investigation of stream flow and sediment load and has arrived at the best possible locations for reservoirs. All of this information will be available for application with passage of the Bond Issue. According to Ackermann, "Illinois is at the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to areas for water related recreation." Another Water Survey study has analyzed the features of open rivers and has found that they hold a great potential for recreation in Illinois. "We have thousands of miles of streams in Illinois," Ackermann says. "If water quality is improved, greater use will be made of rivers." Improving the quality of these rivers is, of course, an important objective of the Water Plan. As it is now, all streams in Illinois are polluted to varying degrees. "The traditional polluters are local communities and local industries," Ackermann says, "but now we are finding that pollution also comes from farms. Pesticides and fertilizers are washed into streams along with the tremendous amount of untreated animal wastes which accumulate in concentrated animal feed lots." As agriculture becomes more important to feed a growing population, these farm pollutants will pose greater and greater problems. The new water standards set in 1967 for Illinois streams make it mandatory that there be an upgrading in water quality ~ one way or another. These standards call for a higher degree of sewage treatment. "Secondary treatment will be necessary everywhere," says Ackermann, "and tertiary treatment will be needed in some jplaces to raise the level of ' streams to meet the standards. At the same time, more loads are being put on these streamsmore industry and more people -- which means more potential pollution." Since many communities in 'the state are now unable to ' finance solutions to their sew- I age problems, the Bond Issue < is a possible answer. As it * stands now, local communities . must put up 70 percent of the • money for sewage treatment i projects in order to get 30 percent in federal funds. If the J Bond Issue passes, communit- ~ ies will have to raise just 20 ; percent of the nece^sstry ^ money -- state and federal funds : will make up the other 80 percent. This could be a boon to " the more than 600 small towns in Illinois which now have no sewage treatment facilities. Ackermann points out that if > the bond issue does not pass, < a heavy burden will be placed on these local communities. ! Sinpe the water standards must towns which are unable or unwilling to take care of their sewage problems will find that the Sanitary Water Board has some very effective methods for enforcing water standards. Streams will be monitored and if pollution is found, a city or industry can be called in for a hearing. Then, if the pollution is not abated within a reasonable time, heavy fines may be imposed. Moreover, the board may refuse to approve additions to a community's water system, thus stifling growth until action is taken to stop pollution. Other phases of the Water Plan simply cannot be enacted unless the Bond issue passes in November. If it does not pass, Ackermann believes that Illinois will not be as good a place to live. "Flood losses will continue to mount,"he says, "and people will continue to leave Illinois for vacations since we now have less recreation area than other states." Also, increased demands on our water supply may produce serious conditions by 1980 unless steps are taken now to store and move our water. "The $1 billion Bond Issue, and the Federal and local funds present problems by 1980, "Ackermann says. "But research must go on. New problems will come up as others are eliminated." He mentions "heatpollution", radioactivity, and the presence of nitrates and phosphates in our water as problems that will likely arise in the not too distant future. "Invisible air pollution" -- that is, dangerous but unseen chemicals in the air also have serious implications for 1980 and beyond. Working for clean water and air is a continuous process, ft begins with research but must culminate with action. Since dollars are needed to translate solutions into "bricks and mortar" -- the $1 billion Bond Issue for air and water resources is an important step. cooperation with the McHenry County College and the apprentices will earn six semester hours of junior college credit. |SUN BAT Sj^SlRMON Robert W.

A fast US cargo ship will be designated the "1968 SANTA CLAUS SPECIAL" sailing from Oakland, Calif., Next month with Christmas parcels. To meet the sailing deadline and assure pre-holiday delivery of gifts sent with surface postage, items should be mailed during the Oct. 14 - Nov. 9 period. They shouldbe marked "SANTA CLAUS SPECIAL" just below the stamps. The "SANTA CLAUS SPECIAL" will sail during the latter half of November and stop at Da- Nang, Qui Nhon, Cam Rahn Bay and Saigon, Vietnam. It takes approximately three weeks for a fast ship to cross the ocean. All gifts should be packed in strong containers with adequate cushioning and correctly addressed, including APO and FPO numbers. There are several options available for mailing to the military which can save money. McHenry has free pamphlets available which outline the mailing programs for servicemen and women overseas. CAPITOL NEWS TO BE PRESENTED CITY OFFICIALS A meeting of the McHenry County Municipal Officials association will be held In Algonquin, Saturday, Oct. 26, when guest speaker for the 12:30 luncheon will be UjS.

RIGHT & WRONG How hard it often is to say two very simple words, "I'm sorry." Pride seems to get in the way. When we know that we have done wrong, when we realize that we have made a mistake, isn't it easier to try to forget? Or to put the matter aside for consideration at some other time? Sure, it is. We are human. We don't like to make mistakes. We don't like to admit that we were wrong about something. We believe if we can forget it, others will forget, too. But, what we ourselves are forgetting is that the greater fault lies not in the mistake, but rather in the refusal to set right that which Is wrong. It is not as difficult as we seem to believe. It may take a moment's courage--to stand before the crowd, to approach an injured individual--but, once it is done, there is an inner relief that makes that one moment worth the effort. Don't be too proud to do that which is right. Do it--and discover that you feel right because you did PHILCO* S3 COLOR TV now with Philco Tuning Eye, plus A.C.T.
