I Robert Hen, M, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert B.Hets of CIS S. River road, McHenry, is shown receiving a certificate of recognition for devotion to St. Paul's Episcopal parish, McHenry, from Bishop James Montgomery, Episcopal Bishop of Chicago. Church Honors Robert Hess Representatives of St. Paul's Episcopal church, McHenry, joined 100 men and boys to participate from other parishes in a corporate Communion at St. James Cathedral in Chicago recently. For the first year, awards were given to the young men selected within their own parishes for exceptional devotion to the church. Robert Hess was chosen by Father Arthur McKay, pastor of the local church, and Charles* Boak of Johnsburg, Bishop's warden. Following the service, break­ fast was served in the grand ballroom of the Sheraton hotel. BV THE OLD TIMER U. S. Government prints some 50 to 60 million postage stamps daily, and for this uses some 1,200 tons of paper an­ nually. From Mrs. C. B. Sorrell, Ow- ingsville, KY.: I was born in 1900, so I have seen many things come and go. I remember the old hitch­ ing posts that used to be along the main streets, where riding horses and buggies could be hitched. I remember the lap robes we used in the buggies - some had a horse head with a glass eye, and they were made from a kind of velour cloth. Unfortunately, I also remember the night riders that were here in Kentucky. They were trying to keep farmers from taking tobacco to the market. They would ride in the night and burn the barns if they could. There also were moon­ light schools - they were schools that were held at night for the adults who lacked an education. I remember them so well - several of our friends learned to write their names and to tell time when such a school was held at Harpers.

The news has been filled lately with stories about the struggle between the Presi­ dent and Congress over fund­ ing of government programs. Some say that we face a constitutional crisis because President Nixon has defied the will of Congress by refusing to spend certain funds ap­ propriated by Congress and by calling for the elimination of various programs in his re­ cent budget message. Others believe that the major fault lies with Congress, which has appropriated funds without regard to established priori­ ties or available revenues. I think every item in the federal budget should be judged on its own merits. We should set a ceiling on the budget and work to meet the peoples' needs within that limitation. But we should operate on the budget with a scalpel and not a meat ax. If a government program is obsolete or unworkable, it should be discarded. If a pro­ gram is successful or shows promise, it should be retained. At the same time, how­ ever, I believe that before Congress can adequately pass judgment on the President's budget, it must completely reform its own budgetary process. At present, there is no relationship between the procedures used for raising revenues and those used for spending them. It should come as no sur- ' prise that the Executive branch looks unfavorably on a funding process that is antiquated, fragmented and irresponsible. We appropriate funds in Congress in a hap­ hazard way that invites crit­ icism. Nothing short of a drastic overhaul will restore order to the system and com­ mand respect from the Exec­ utive branch and the tax­ payers. Our present system in Con­ gress of appropriating funds for government programs re­ sembles that of a fam'ly that spends with no concerns for income or need. It is as if each member of a family wrote checks on the same ac count without ever checking from HISTORY'S SCRAPB00K DATES AND EVENTS FROM YESTERYEARS TURN ONS The famous naval battle between the Northern "Monitor" and the Confederate "Merrimac" took place on March 9, 1862, off the coast of Virginia.

Sooner or later, * the family would face a fi­ nancial crisis. Yet this is the way Con­ gress spends the taxpayers' money. We are writing checks before we know the bank balance, and we usually are forced to borrow to meet our bills by raising the na­ tional debt. I have proposed', a system that would require Congress to take stock of the govern­ ment's assets and set priori­ ties before the spending be­ gins. Specifically, a Joint Com­ mittee on the Budget would be created, to be made up of senior members of the four Congressional committees charged with raising and spending funds--Ways and Means and Appropriations in the House and Finance and Appropriations in the Senate. The Joint Committee would meet early each year to re­ view the budget situatiofl, the health of the economy and the President's budget message and annual economic report. It would then set a spending ceiling for the next fiscal year, which would be based on anticipated govern­ ment receipts, and would as­ sign spending limits to the Congressional committees and subcommittees responsi­ ble for spending. By March 30, the Joint Committee would report its findings and recommendations to the House and Senate in a Joint Resolution. No appro­ priations bills would be passed until both houses of Congress had passed the resolution. In my view, this proposal is especially timely. It goes to the root of the controversy over Executive impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress and provides a way for Congress to set budget priorities and limitations on spending. Its adoption would be a signal to the Executive branch of government and the taxpayers that Congress, like a prudent family or a sound T5UsTfiess, has the good sense to plan for the future and live within its means.

IMPROVING JETS WASHINGTON -- Tomor­ row's aeronautical progress is today's workload at NASA. Following are some of the directions in which aeronautical research and development are moving. GETTING RID OF THE EXHAUST--NASA is look­ ing into the effects of com­ bustion temperature, pres­ sure and mixture ratio on the generation of pollutants such as smoke, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and oxides of nitrogen. Research results have been very encouraging, and tech­ niques for achieving signifi­ cant reductions in exhaust emissions have been demon­ strated in small-scale test „rigs and of large scale ex­ perimental annular combus- tors. STOL AIRCRAFT- NASA studies indicate that quieter short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft could operate from general aviation airports and new central district STOL ports to reduce air traffic conges­ tion at major hub airports j&t a reasonable cost to passen­ gers and reasonable return on investment to the civil air­ line industry. STOL aircraft could use one one-hundredth the land required by conventional air­ ports, would reduce tripytime and improve service, provide flexibility, and make a sig­ nificant impact on U.S. bal­ ance of trade through sales abroad. FLY-BY-WIRE --NASA's F-8 aircraft, equipped with a computerized control sys­ tem using surplus hardware from the Apollo spacecraft program, is currently being flight tested at the Flight Research Center, Edwards, Calif. The new aircraft con­ trol concept may make it possible to build airframes lighter at reduced costs. Called Digital Fly-by- Wire, the control system en­ hanced the aircraft's han- dliiff* qualities and eases the pilot's workload. A teacher was giving his class a lecture on charity.
