PG. 16 - PLAINDEALER - FRI. AUGUST 8, 1969 W Issues affecting our domestic and foreign affairs were side­ tracked temporarily while the Congress of the United States, as well as the American people, gave their principal attention to man's first round trip jour­ ney to the moop and to the broad­ er issue of outer space. It is eleven years since the Congress enacted the National Aeronautics and Space Act at the request of the late Presi­ dent Eisenhower. Five years later, in 1963, the late Presi­ dent John F. Kennedy predicted that within this decade our na­ tion would land a man on the moon. The Eisenhower program and the Kennedy prediction were fulfilled Sunday, July 20, 1969, when Astronaut Neil A. Arm­ strong set foot on the lunar surface in the area named the „Sea of Tranquillity. In addition to the pride and sense of national achievement which permeated the United States Capitol, the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives began prepar­ ations for a dramatic joint ses­ sion at which the Astronauts, Neil A. Armstrong, Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., and Michael Col­ lins, will appear to report first­ hand on the successful 8-day flight of Apollo 11. The congressional emphasis has-been on the peaceful util­ ization of space and on the ben­ efits from the substantial sci­ entific fall-out. In addition to the exploratory experiments conducted in outer space, our nation has witnessed outstand­ ing advances in electronics, expanded use of automatic data processing, improvements in w o r 1 d-wide communi cations through the use of orbiting sat­ ellites, and other contributions to mankind. Indeed, these are bat a few examples of the val­ uable dividends which have ac­ companied our successful space program. The congressional deliber­ ations will now/ be directed to­ ward future acuities of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The de­ velopment of permanent space laboratories, where personnel will be permanently based in orbit around the earth, as well as a possible space station orbiting the moon, are among the future projects to be in­ cluded in our national space program. Longer range programs such as possible journeys to the planet Mars are within the realm of possibility before the year 2,000. While such jour­ neys would require several months, travel time could be substantially reduced if nuclear energy were to replace th' known types of liquid and solid propellants. Meanwhile the flights of Apollos 12 to 20 will be undertaken with additional landings designed to explore other areas of the moon. Some members of Congress, reflecting on the material needs of our less fortunate citizens, would prefer to abandon the space program in order topro- vide additional federal funds for the poorer areas of our cities. But those who would abandon the space program fail to rec­ ognize the scientific advances, and other broad benefits to man­ kind which are opened up by programs of space exploration. They appear to lack confidence in the future of mankind. McCLORY REPORTS From Washington The prevailing sentiment in the Congress was voiced by the Majority Whip of the House, Congressman Hale Boggs of Louisiana, who declared: "Exploration is really the es­ sence of the Human Spirit, the ultimate human act. God, in his Wisdom, gave men inquiring minds. To deny the eternal quest for knowledge is to deny our humanity ice exploration is already redounding to the benefit of our science, our technology, and our commerce. I believe space ex­ ploration hold even greater ben­ efits -- benefits we cannot en­ vision at present -- which will aid us greatly in solving our problems here on earth." CITY STUDIES SUBDIVISION FLOODS (Continued from page 1) part of the state legislature, the city repealed both the Sales Tax Ordinance and the Service Oc­ cupation Tax Ordinance and passed new ordinances, the ef­ fective date of the changes to be Oct. 1, 1969. The city's portion of the sales tax will be 1 percent instead of 3/4 of one percent, while the service tax will be 1 percent of the cost of all tangible personal prop­ erty. The council agreed that since no rent is being charged for use of the fire district build­ ing for council meetings and APPROVE LIMITED CONTROL OF WEEDS AT WONDER LAKE (Continued from page 1) program was set at $942. An alternate proposal which used thy Endothol in smaller quan­ tities and a cheaper chemical, Sodium Arsinite, would cost $549. Robertson said, "I am op­ posed) to any extensive weed eradication. We all know that some! weed growth is needed if fish are to survive, but we don't know what balance be­ tween fish and weeds is the right one." Robertson then moved that the Master association treat • only the two areas that were interfering with the operation of boats. The motion passed unanimously. Another motion made by Robertson set a $500 limit on the project. Measures for controlling the growth of algae which has plagued the lake this summer were also discussed. Since it will take the cooperation of all the subdivisions to halt the spread of algae it was decided that the matter should be brought before the annual meet­ ing of the association. In other action, the board set the date for the annual conven­ tion of delegates at Sept. 14, at 4 p.m. A definite location for the meeting was not set. ACCEPT SCHOEN FOR «PROJECT PREVIEW --'69» Thomas A. Schoen, 1202 Main street, Spring Grove, has been accepted to attend "Project Preview-1969", an orientation program in special education for one week this month at Illinois State university in Nor­ mal, 111., and Northern Illinois university in DeKalb, according JAMIE ANN O'BRIEN Jamie Ann O'Brien, prema­ turely born daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas O'Brien, 3903 E.

DUMPlfl6 STATE Of H-LlNOlS "NO DUMPING" -- Signs erected by the State of Illinois, Di­ vision of Highways, warning against dumping, had little effect on the public, as indicated by this scene on Rt. 120, west of Mc- Henry, at the top of Sherman Hill. When the practice continued until littering extended onto state property, representatives of the Division of Highways visited the site last Friday. In an agree­ ment between the state represehtatives and Charles "Chuck" Miller, sWvn above at right, owner of the land, the property is being cleaned up once more.

AlthofPs, Inc. agreed to make the installation without cost. In order to make the skating pond at the A.P. Freund Ath­ letic field usable, the council voted to seal and resurface the area at a cost of $3,500. Repeated requests from firms wishing to secure fran­ chise to install cable TV ser­ vice, prompted Mayor Doherty to appoint a committee, Alder­ man Smith, Stanek and Rogers, to investigate the advisability of the plan. The Mayor reported renewed interest on the part of several persons in the area f6r an air­ port and expects a committee to be formed to study possibil­ ities. Permission was granted for residents of fund drives for the Cystic Fibrosis Research Foundation (Aug. 24 - Sept. 2) and Aiding Leukemia Stricken Children (Sept. 14 - 21). STATE OBSERVES SEPTEMBER AS PORK MONTH Illinois will observe Septem­ ber as Pork Month to honor the 524 million dollar Illinois swine industry. While September is the des­ ignated month, pork promotion activity actually will begin at the State Fair. A kick-off pork barbecue will be held at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 9, during the fair, with the public invited. Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie will present a proc­ lamation that he signed July 24 in a ceremony in his office. It was witnessed by John W. Lewis, director of the state De­ partment of Agriculture; Miss Sandi Ward of Geneseo, the Ill­ inois Pork Industry queen; lea­ ders of the pork industry and Department of Agricultureper- sonnel. The ceremony at the barbecue will be broadcast by radio station WGN of Chicago. Other promotions during the fair include an exhibit featur­ ing quality contrt)l in the feed­ ing of swine for market, a queen contest, cooking demonstra­ tions and a cook-out contest. HARRISON SCHOOL PLANS REOPENING FOR FALL TERM Harrison school, Wonder Lake, will reopen for all classes on Tuesday, Sept. 2. Parents of children presently enrolled at Harrison will receive their school packets with all infor­ mation by Tuesday, Aug. 26. A special day has been set aside for payment of student fees. These fees, $5 in kin­ dergarten, $10 in first through fourth grades, and $15 in fifth through eighth grades, may be paid on Friday, Aug. 29. If parents find it impossible to pay on this date, they may send the money with their children on Tuesday, Sept. 2, or bring it themselves. Milk fees will be $3 per semester. Parents of children entering Harrison school either as a kindergartener or for the first time are urged to enroll im­ mediately. School hours for registration are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Russian kiddies, we are told, want to go to the moon. Oirs want to go steady. MILK PRODUCTION Milk production is likely to suffer when summer temper­ atures go above 85 to 90 de­ grees. This is especially true in Illinois when high temper­ atures are often accompanied by high relative humidity. Dairy cows need protection from the sun and heat. If your cows cannot get to an open type barn - or under shade trees, an artificial sunshade may pay big dividends in larg­ er milk checks.
