G i v e T r a n s p o r t a t i o n V i e w s August RTA Hearing Announced In County PAGE 15 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, AUGUST 3,1*73 New public hearings for a Northeastern Illinois Regional Transportation (RTA) authority have been scheduled, according to Langhorne Bond, secretary of the Illinois Department of Transportation. In McHenry county, the hearing will be held Tuesday, Aug. 28, in Crystal Lake. The hearings were ordered by Gov. Dan Walker as a result of controversy over legislation to create and finance the RTA. In a statement earlier last month, the governor said, "The hearings will give everyone - bus and "L" riders, train commuters, taxpayers and public officials in the com­ munities affected - the chance to give their views. I believe the mayors, the county com­ missioners and the representatives of the people should have the chance to say how they think RTA should be run and financed". Specific sites and times for each of the locations will be announced shortly. Bond said all interested groups and individuals are invited to give their views on RTA at the sessions. A tran­ script of the proceedings will be forwarded to the governor and legislative leaders, he added. k m F ' L .

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD F a i r F e a t u r e Recycling "On Display" The McHenry County Defenders, a county-wide environmental group, will again have an educational booth at the county fair in its continuing efforts to help the public understand pollution problems and possible solutions for them. One of the themes to be emphasized in the booth is recycling, which Defenders have been promoting and practicing the last few years. It is their belief that the recycling of glass, paper, metals and food wastes on a county-wide basis is the answer to the solid waste problem. They point to the county's present garbage disposal crisis as evidence that the old methods of disposal by burning and burying are no longer adequate to handle the more than 220,000,000 pounds of Fine Grandstand Show At County Fair Saturday Stealing the grandstand scene Saturday night at the McHenry County Fair will be the Ural Albert show, with one at 7 p.m. and one at 8:30 p.m., featuring Urel Albert and eleven other people in the stage show. Albert looks like Eddy Ar­ nold, and sings like the entire "Grand Ole' Opry". He is the world's greatest impersonator and does over thirty voice impersonations of the top "Grand Ole' Opry Stars". For variety he throws in Walter Brennen, Lum and Abner, and many more. Regarded as one of the best showmen in the business, Albert has worked with shows and club dates such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Conway Twitty, Bill Anderson and Porter Wagoner to name a few. Appearing before the Urel Albert show will be the Toby Ellis .puppet show beginning at 6:30 p.m. Hold Bicycle Safety Program The McHenry Police department announces a bicycle safety program to be held at East campus parking lot Saturday, Aug. 11, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. A safety check of all bicycles will be made and all vehicles will be registered. Movies will . be shown on "Bicycle Operation and Safety", "Rules Governing Bicycle Operations" and "Laws Pertaining to the Operation of Bicycles" Ask Views On City's Proposed Plan For Future A public hearing is scheduled before the McHenry Plan commission Wednesday, Aug. 8, at 7:30 p.m. in West campus high school auditorium. Pur­ pose of the hearing is discussion of a proposed official comprehensive plan for the city. Anyone wishing to be heard in support or in opposition to the proposed official plan will be given an opportunity to submit views orally, in writing, or both. household wastes that McHenry county generates each year. Graphs and statistics for the technically-inclined are part of the recycling display. However, those looking for the unusual at bargain prices will find a wide assortment of at­ tractive articles, all from local sources, and each chosen as "ecologically-sound", that is, manufactured from recycled or natural materials: soap made from household fats; plant and animal motif notepapers printed on 100 percent recycled paper; a line of pure, biodegradable toiletries; hand- carved wooden toys; cotton back-packs; tannic acid and caffeine-free herbal tea; and baked-to-order whole wheat health bread. For those who wish to place their orders early, Defenders again offer an ex­ tensive selection of Christmas cards produced from recycled papers. Other sections of the booth will focus on additional matters of concern to the Defenders. A display of giant-sized county maps will pinpoint landfill and gravel pit locations, proposed highway development, water conditions, population growth, etc. The collection of prize- winning posters from the Defender-sponsored Earth week poster contest completes the exhibit. Defender members will be on hand at their booth the entire time of the fair, and invite visitors to stop by to discuss environmental problems, to taste a free sample of herbal tea, and to help themselves to a variety of literature prepared by Defenders on composting, recycling procedures, ecology - Deaths CHARLES J.
