Consider Pollution Control Of Feedlots HONOR CONGRESSMAN •• George Lindberg, Crystal Lake, far right, state Comptroller, is at head table during press conference for Congressman Robert McClory, left, and Senator Hugh Scott.

(DON PEASLEY PHOTO) An agriculture advisory committee is continuing its consideration of possible pollution control regulations to govern livestock feedlots in Illinois. The next meeting of the committee is scheduled for July 24 in Bloomington, ac­ cording to Gilbert Fricke, a Petersburg farmer and chairman of the committee. Members of the committee include representatives of l i v e s t o c k p r o d u c e r organizations, environmental groups and citizen organizations. The committee was organized by the Institute for Environmental Quality after the Illinois Pollution Control board tabled proposed animal waste regulations last spring at the request of the Illinois En- vironmental Protection agency. "The agricultural com­ munity realizes that the federal government will be setting nationwide regulations governing feedlots this fall," Fricke said. The purpose of the com­ mittee, Fricke added, is to propose fair and workable state regulations to the Illinois Pollution Control Board. Clergyman Takes Fond Look At Marine Event Twice Told Tales (The following story was written by the Rev. William 0. Hanner, retired Episcopal vicar, concerning his im­ pressions of 1973 Marine Festival.) "We Americans love to find fault with public undertakings andsay, 'why didn't they?' Lots of things are not right, to be sufe, but many things are right. Consider the festivities of the weekend of July 15, the Marine Festival. Lots of things were right with it. ) "I am doing a little painting around the place. We went up to the street sale. There I bought four plastic 'drop' cloths for 15 cents apiece. They aren't very strong but they are big. When I get done painting instead of having smelly paint drop cloths around I'll wad them up and put them in the trash. For about 60 cents I get clean floors, no smelly fire hazard and no drop cloths to be in the way all winter when I don't want them. "We like little pillows around the house to tuck under our heads when we lie on the sofa to read, to put behind our back in the car, to take on picnics, to give color to a dark spot and to throw away when they get too soiled. However, the price of little pillows has scooted up along with the national debt, interest rates and groceries. At the street sale I got four for a dollar apiece. Silk they were, and just the right size and almost the right color. "Some of the carpet and rug stores have little samples of their wares 1x2' or so. They cost 25 to 50 cents each depending on size and quality. I get several each year. They are very handy to nail on the two steps from the garage to the kitchen. There they are hard, fast and tight. You wipe your feet on each step going into the house and your shoes and the house are cleaner; we keep a couple near the sliding glass doors into the garden to take care of wet feet and grassy shoes from that direction. Good housekeeping idea and inex­ pensive at the Marine Festival street sale. "Two years ago Mrs. Hanner got a $9.95 bread box for $4. We had needed one badly and this does a fine job--helps toward easier living. The merchants on all five of our different business districts cooperated on a fun, money saving, useful day. Thanks. It was ALLRIGHT. i "I got to thinking, just for ^un, what would happen if, on Green street, they extended the Hength of activity a block or so rn each direction. This would then include the post office for Qne thing. Uncle Sam could set 9ur postmaster and his workers out on the sidewalk and offer old, faded or curled up, or Soiled stamps at, say, half ARE YOU IN NEED OF . . •kitchen cabinets * Range Hoods * Medicine cabinets •Bathroom Fixtures * Fi- berglas ^owerstalls * van' . ities and tops * Gas & rOll Furnaces * Air con • dltloning, central and win- • >dow * Hot water boilers •and base radiation * Sump < pumps * Water Softerners SEE OUR DO-IT-YOUR- < SELF HOME IMPROVE- < MENT DEPARTMENT THE BATH SHOP ! 3012 W.

"On the other end of the street we might include the Medical center. Imagine all those pretty nurses and hand­ some docs out on the street hailing passers-by with sales appeal and acting as circus barkers offering an elec­ trocardiogram for $4.95 and a blood pressure test for 50 cents. We might find out a lot about ourselves. The Library could offer a 50 percent reduction on all old fines and get books turned in from all over the community to sell cheaply and thus buy a few new additions for the shelves. "The parade told a lot about people. How many man hours and how much money went into the floats'? Oh, they weren't Rose or Orange Bowl but they were offerings of leadership and pride in our community. They had taken work. "And the bands, some were big and some were little, some were better than others but as they played and marched along I saw hours of rehearsing and practice marching by; I saw efforts to raise money for uniforms; I saw parents who had backed up their young fry with help, patience, money, time and interest. I was proud of McHenry. "We have in town five dif­ ferent business areas. The merchants all cooperated. Everyone did something special. There was work and thought in our celebration. I can't tell all about everything but I think we pulled together pretty well and I think we had fun-well done, McHenry. "Now if we could only get our real estate tax bills in some kind of time and the State of Illinois would get its income tax refunds back as fast as Uncle Sam does, I'd like that too!"

FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 27, 1933) A beautiful young life was cut off by the grim reaper Death as Mrs. Paul B.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 29, 1948) A tragedy was averted by the quick thinking of a resident of Regner Road, Pistakee Bay, Rudolph Schultz. Mr. Schultz noticed a boat apparently without occupants drifting down the bay, he started out in his own boat to make the rescue, when he came close to the boat he saw a man lying in the bottom of the boat, he notified Harold Fox, deputy sheriff of Johnsburg, a doctor and an ambulance.

We want to make pollution control possible for the farmer and livestock producer." "I am confident," he said, "that farmers can control agriculture-related pollution and still make a fair profit." Consumers' Corner Save Money Eating Outdoors Families who love to eat out­ doors can save money and keep the environment clean at the same time. For instance, it's less expensive to carry dishes from your kitchen to the back yard or picnic area than it is to buy paper plates. Although paper plates may be re­ cyclable, what about plastic uten­ sils? And how about the nuisance of finding a place to dispose of the paper and plastic trash? Here are the facts. To buy enough paper plates, paper cups, plastic spoons and forks for six people will cost you an estimated $1.56. If you take your kitchen dishes, cups, spoons and forks, along with your casserole dishes dishes and bowls, you can serve six people for five to seven cents --the cost of dishwashing sup­ plies. Now add up all these evenings you eat outdoors and those week­ ends you go on picnics. If you save $1.50 on each meal, think of the pieces of school clothing you the outdoor eating season. It all could buy or the amount of food you could purchase by the end of adds up. PAGE 9-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1973 Finding Security In Retirement Retirement can mean many things. What does it mean to you --opportunity to stop work, cut down on activities, rest? Or does it mean time to travel, develop a hobby, start a second career? You may have a job where you can make the transition from the workaday world to retirement in easy stages. As you taper off on the number of hours you spend in the office or shop, increase the time you spend on other activi­ ties. This way, you can experi­ ment with things you are inter­ ested in and fin«j out what hob­ bies ond activities are available to you in retirement. Maybe you don't want to retire. You think retirement is not for you. Then how about starting a second career? You may have a talent you have always wanted to use or you've had a secret yen to try a new field of work. Now is your chance. With a retirement income to fall back on, you can afford to take a fling at' some­ thing different. You may want to fill some of your days with a part-time job. If you have been working full- time as an accountant with a large firm, find a job with a smal­ ler firm that only requires the services of a part-time employee. Or, if you enjoy selling, good help is always needed in stores and shops -- particularly during the busy seasons. Don't be afraid to experiment. Try something new to give zest to your life.
