RECLAIMED OXYGEN WASHINGTON -- Sounds incredible, but nonetheless possible, that in future long duration space missions American astronauts may breathe oxygen reclaimed from moisture in their own breath and perspiration-. As a matter of fact, a prototype water vapor elec­ trolysis system developed at NASA's Ames Research Cen­ ter, Mountain View, Calif., has already been operated successfully for more than 2,000 hours of testing. This time is equivalent to an 80- day manned space mission. The new system, developed by Dr. Theodore Wydeven, at the Ames Environmental Control Research Branch, converts moisture in the air directly into hydrogen and oxygen and releases the re­ claimed oxygen back into the air. The average person breathes about two pounds of oxygen daily, but puts back into the air about three pounds by expiration and perspiration. The extra pound comes from water taken into the digestive system by eat­ ing and drinking. What this all means is that when this system is fully perfected, bulky and heavy tanks of breathing oxygen may be unnecessary on fu­ ture long-duration space mis­ sions. An additional advan­ tage would be that of reduc­ ing the load on humidity control equipment by remov­ ing excess water vapor from the cabin atmosphere. Although the water vapor conversion system was con­ ceived in research for future space missions, it is poten­ tially useful in other areas. It could be used in aviation as an onboard oxygen sys­ tem; in medicine it might have application as a portable oxygen generator for both hespital and home, and it might be a commercial air conditioner and freshener for use in mines and caves or any location where air might need oxygenation. Tests ^fiow the system as having high reliability be­ cause of its design simplicity. It has only one moving part, an electric fan which pulls air across a sponge-like ma­ terial which holds an acid electrolyte. The acid absorbs moisture from the air, and when electric current passes through it, the water in the solution is broken down into its basic components. Oxy­ gen is expelled on one side of the cell and hydrogen on the other. 9 I Know Your | Fireman JOHN 11. HOSE John H Hose of 3809 W Grand avenue, McHenry, joined Company I of the McHenry Township Fire Protection district in 1956 - his reason, "to serve the public." Hose is a native of Germany, where he received his education. The five-year member served as secretary- treasurer of Company I for the year 1957-58 and was named lieutenant in 1959. Hose is a member of the Ski Patrol. The fires he has fought which bring back clearest memories were the McHenry Lumber company, the local hotel and Justen Furniture store ^ He is married to the former Ann Bickleder and they have two children, Christine and Janet Special Education Role Harold Gaarde, director of Special Education of the District of McHenry; Robert Bright, superin­ tendent of Harrison school district; Richard Swantz, superintendent of District 156; and Dr. John Erickson, University of Illinois.

Dr Robert Boos, District 15, was chairman at the McHenry Area Educational Cooperative meeting. He introduced Harold Gaarde, director of SEDOM, who discussed the future role of special education. Mr. Gaarde disclosed that he would like three regions set up in McHenry county with a director in each region. This proposed change, he said, is intended to better satisfy the particular needs of a given area. Mr. Gaarde also in­ formed the group concerning the kinds of special education that SEDOM offers and some of the problems it now faces, such as a shortage of facilities. Mr. Gaarde entertained questions from the group. Dr. Boos discussed the cooperative venture be­ tween Arlington Heights school district and the Chicago Consortium of Universities. Dr. Boos explained that the Consortium of Universities and the school district traded off their expertise in a manner that was mutually beneficial.

The university resource people could be used to provide in- service training for teachers in the districts involved. Dr. Boos then introduced Dr. John Erickson of the University of Illinois, who is presently working with the Arlington Heights school district in a cooperative venture. Dr. Erickson discussed the project and how it was started. He disclosed that the University of Illinois tried to work in a cooperative manner with the Chicago School district but insurmountable problems caused the university to disband its attempts. Dr. Erickson felt that suburban school districts were more atuned and interested in cooperative programs with universities. He felt that the teachers and administrators in the Arlington Heights school district contributed greatly to the success of this project. Dr. Erickson feels that learning institutions at all levels should share with each other, and thus derive the mutual benefits that come with such an association Dr. Boos then asked Dr Davis if he thought the aims of the university were in keeping with those of the Community college. Dr. Davis felt that the aims were similar and disclosed that these colleges are also seeking experience in the communities they serve in order to be more responsive to the particular needs of the area. Dr. Davis did point out, however, that where univer­ sities controlled instruction, such as Indiana, problems magnified; but where the state controlled instruction, much progress occurred. Dr. Davis explained that somewhere in the middle of university and state control was autonomous control He did feel more autonomy was better than university control of in­ struction, but not as effective as state control. Mr. Bright commented that fear of "university capture" (control) would be resented by constituents and educators in local areas and should be considered in any type of cooperative venture. Dr. Boos explained that schools cooperating with universities have little fear in the way of losing their autonomy because the school districts direct the activity of the university personnel who are sent as resource people, or who will be used to provide in-service training for teachers in the district. The meeting ended with committee reports. The McHenry Area Educational Cooperative established two committees One is exploring the possibility of developing V jointly a teacher recruitment brochure, and the other committee is preparing for the high school articulation meeting to be held in February. Dr Boos reported on the progress of the committee working on teacher recruit­ ment, and Mr. Swantz reported on the committee working on the preparation for the high school articulation meeting.
