Support Given Pilot Programs For Small Towns Congressman John B. An­ derson has won support from Gov. Dan Walker for the proposed program to revitalize Illinois small towns. In a Washington meeting with the Governor this week, the Rock- ford Republican argued for quick implementation of the long overdue program which would help small Illinois communities. The pilot project Propose Study On Aid Losses Rep. Thaddeus S. Lechowicz, D-Chicago, and Rep. Thomas J. Hanahan, D-McHenry, Democratic co-spokesmen for the House Appropriations committee, proposed Friday that a joint House-Senate task force be created to study federal aid losses to Illinois under Nixon administration slashes in social service programs. "The House Democratic Appropriations staff has determined that Ilinois about $111 million in anticipated federal funds this fiscal year," Lechowicz and Hanahan said in a joint statement Friday. Lechowicz and Hanahan said the social service cuts pose "serious fiscal problems" for the state. "Last year," they said, "our state budget-makers an­ ticipated that Illinois would "eceive $211 million in FY 1972- '3 federal aid administered by HEW. "Then, last fall, Congress imposed a $2.5 billion ceiling on reimbursements for social service programs, alloting Illinois $135 million of the total. "But Illinois won't get that much under the new restrictive guidelines the President has implemented to skirt Congressional intent. "The Democratic ap­ propriations staff, after con­ sulting with federal and state officials, has estimated that Illinois will be eligible for only $100 million. < That's a total reduction of $111 million from the initial budget estimates made last year. "Given the changes in Nixon administration policy, if we are to continue many of the vital social services developed with joint federal, state and local funding, we may have to commit much more state revenue in the coming fiscal year. The apparent alternative will be to eliminate the programs, which provide such vital services." Here & There In BUSINESS WINS PROMOTION would involve a cooperative study of eight small towns. Anderson said that three of the eight selected towns are in the 16th Congressional district. They are Cedarville in Stephenson county, Paw Paw in Lee, and Hebron in McHenry county. The other towns are Astoria, Fulton county; Milford, Iroquois county; Lebanon, St. Clair county; Waltonville, Jefferson county; and Goreville, Johnson county. Anderson said of his meeting with Walker, "When I reminded the Governor that his Department of Local Govern­ ment Affairs was still awaiting his decision, he assured me that the program would be im­ plemented." The third ranking House Republican added that he hoped this effort would begin to improve living and working conditions in small towns throughout Illinois. The program will endeavor to provide local officials with the administrative and technical assistance now available to their counterparts in large cities. Many of the towns are eligible for state and federal aid but either do not know of such assistance or how to ap­ ply. The towns chosen for the experimental program were selected by a joint federal-state task force following the recommendation of a 1971 study. That study initiated by Gov. Ogilvie uncovered common problems which often are responsible for community decline. In recent years, forty- nine of Illinois' 102 counties have experienced a loss in population as residents left for better jobs and living con­ ditions. The most frequently noted needs of these communities are for improved water and sewage facilities. Small town mayors know only too well that without minimal services, new industry will not even consider locating with them.

Offer Parent-Child Communication Course "Parent Child Com­ munication", a course designed to assist parents in un­ derstanding the interplay and interaction in parent-child relations, begins on March 26 at McHenry County college (6200 Northwest highway). "Through the things parents and children say to each other, children develop overall self- concept.

The primary activity will be informal discussion but also included will be role-playing, simulated home situations and some lectures, according to Ms. Hoffman. "The course is not a child psychology course, but we do hope that the result will be a better understanding between parent and child," she added. The class will be held from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Mondays, begin­ ning March 26. Registrations are now being accepted for the course. For further information, contact the office of instruction at the college. | Tftaagfotf far [?®®dl| Inside Chuck Pot-Roast, also called Chuck Eye Pot-Roast, is the meaty inside chuck muscle (eye) of the blade portion of the chuck, which lies directly next to the rib section. A boneless cut, it is made by removing the blade bones, featherbones, back bone and rib bones which surround it. Fat cover, it any, is thin. It often is tied into a roll. Since the chuck is less tender than the beef loin or rib, this cut is most often pre­ pared as a pot-roast. It is braised slowly in a small amount of li­ quid, covered, on top of the range or in the oven until tender, 3 to 4 hours. A variety of season­ ings and braising liquids can be used. If the beef is of high qual­ ity, this cut can be prepared as a roast - cooked in an open roasting pan without the addition of liquid in a slow oven (325°F). In rccent years the annual U.S. consumption of canned meat aver­ aged about 14 5 pounds per per­ son - a record level. During the past 20 years canned meat con­ sumption has increased more than 5 pounds per person.
