Ogilvie has proposed a state-wide trans­ portation program for a broad- based system of mass transit, highway and airport improve­ ments and reorganization of pre­ sent a^bncies. He told the joint session of the General Assem­ bly the program could be fi­ nanced without new or increased taxes and without diversion of motor fuel taxes. Ogilvie pro­ posed a $900 million bond is­ sue to finance new highway con­ struction, capital expenditures for mass transit systems and development of aviation facili­ ties; a Department of Trans­ portation to administer finan­ cing and unify Illinois' trans­ portation responsibilities; a six-county regional transpor­ tation agency for the Chicago area. He said the bond issue would finance a four-year pro­ gram including $600 million for construction of the first phase of a 1,950-mile supplementary freeway system between major downstate urban areas, recom­ mended two years ago by the Highway Study Commission; $100 million for planning, im­ proving and developing air­ ports; $200 million for capital investments for mass transit systems. 1971 McHenryHigh School Spring Sports Schedule Wed.

Ogilvie last week joined Governors Nelson A,. Rockefeller of New York and Louis B. Nunn of Kentucky as spokesmen for the National Governors' conference in a plea for federal revenue-shar­ ing at a House Republican con­ ference in Washington. Ogilvie pointed out that support of Ill­ inois citizens in the last two years "has kept our state gov­ ernment among the most effec­ tive of all the states. But we cannot continue this record un­ less Congress realizes that the President's plan for revenue- sharing is more than a matter of providing money to states and cities. It's a matter of sur­ vival." VOLUNTEERS TO MEET Illinois college and univer­ sity representatives are invited to a conference for student vol­ unteers to be sponsored by the Governor's Committee on Vol­ untary Action April 16-18 at Little Grassy lake, Carbondale. Mrs. Joseph K. Oblinger, ex­ ecutive director of the com­ mittee, said the conference will be administered by the Illinois Coalition for Volunteer Student Action, Inc., a state-wide or­ ganization of student volunteers organized to initiate and im­ prove student involvement through volunteer programs. TAX DEDUCTIONS Parents of physically or men­ tally handicapped children are allowed special income tax de­ ductions, according to Arlen S. Gould, special education coor­ dinator for the Governor's Of­ fice of Human Resources. Gould said recent Internal Revenue Service rulings permit parents of such children a wide range of deductions based on the child's need for specific care to alleviate a mental or phys­ ical handicap. He advised par­ ents to evaluate these matters with their accountant or the IRS Taxpayer's Service. He added that amended returns for the last three years could be filed for eligible deductions not tak­ en. The word "metrication" soon will become familiar to the American people. The word refers to the proposed con­ version from our present units of measurement (feet, pounds, and gallons) to the metric e q u i v a l e n t s ( m e t e r s , kilograms, and liters). In the Metric Study Act of 1968 the Congress directed the National Bureau of Standards to conduct a three-year study on the feasibility of adopting the metric system of weights and measures. As a sponsor of the 1968 law, this member of Congress has been impressed by the preliminary study report which became available in January of this year, to be followed bv- a final report in /he Fliesr ACCOlZVlOhl PATEMT WAS 155U£V OM JaM^A £.7 | 1 o /VI g .

Nye TRU-VALUE PHARMACY 1327 N..RIVERSIDE DR. MCHENRY 385-4426 McCLORY REPORTS From Washington August, 1971. The preliminary report shows that every nation in the world, except the United States and Canada, has already converted to the metric system or is in the process of com­ pleting such a conversion. The report also gives clear that expanded international trade, reduction of manufac? turing and marketing costs, and many other advantages should follow the adoption by our nation of the metric system in the manufacture of con­ sumer products. .It is now 180 years since adoption of the metric system was first recommended to the Congress by Thomas Jefferson. Indeed, in 1866, the metric system received official sanc­ tion by the United States Congress and, to a large extent, we have been operating under a dual system since that time. P h a r m a c e u t i c a l , o p t i c a l , photographic, and other in­ dustries have employed the metric system for some time. Many products manufactured for foreign markets are produced in accordance with metric measurements. Substantial encouragement for metrication is provided by the Metric association, whose Secretary, Dr. Richard W. Mattoon of Abbott Laboratories, and whose treasurer, Fred Helgren, are residents of our own Congressional district. This organization of more than 1,000 members has adopted a resolution supporting a com­ plete conversion of all measurement standards to the metric system. While the preliminary study of this subject suggests that 10 years might be an appropriate time for accomplishing metrication, it is not certain that the federal government will be called upon to legislate in this field. Indeed, the con­ version which is taking place in Great Britain is being ad­ minister^ by the British Board of Trade (Chamber of Com­ merce), a private organization In contemplation of its August final report, the National Bureau of Standards is polling some 4,000 American industries for the purpose of determining the length of time which they deem necessary for an orderly conversion to metric standards and the approximate cost of such conversion. Earlier estimates ranging from $10 bihion to $50 billion as a total cost to American industry to achieve metrication may be exaggerated. Indeed, the in­ creased foreign trade which metrication might produce indicates that the cost of conversion would be amortized rapidly. Of further interest is the fact that other nations in the course of converting to the metric system have found that many costs of manufacture have been e l i m i n a t e d a n d t h a t metrication has indeed reduced the overall cost of manufac­ tured products - -- thus benefiting both domestic and foreign markets. Of course, metrication would have been avoided if Thomas Jefferson's recommendation had been accepted back in 1791. I n a d d i t i o n , c o n v e r t i n g t o metric would have been far less expensive if agreed upon 10 or even Syears ago. Further d^y can only contribute to the overall problem and added expense to industry )Mfi' its customers.
