"Wars are always remembered; veterans are often forgotten. I don't want that to happen in Illinois."

Under the new bill, dependents of those killed or permanently disabled in the Vietnam w ar w ill be eligible for the Vietnam scholarship program. Vietnam veterans will also now be eligible for represen­ tation on the Illinois Veterans Commission, one central agency set up by Gov Walker to coordinate veterans' ac­ tivities, which are presently scattered in various code departments and agencies. The ISBA also pointed out other bills signed into law recently by Gov. Walker. -- Extending the deadline from July 1, 1973, to July lj 1975. for Vietnam veterans or survivors of those killed in the titer to apply for the Illinois Vietnam bonus (H.B. 431); -- Providing funds to pay the Illinois bonus to World War II and Korean War veterans who failed to apply for them in time (H.B. 902 and H.B. 903); -- Changing the name of the Illinois Soldiers and Sailors home in Quincy to the Illinois Veterans home (H.B. 536); -- Permitting the sale of beer at the Illinois Veterans home (S B. 1079); and School Starts ot spurgeons Market Place Shopping Center 4400 W.

Down the road from me live Jim Erickson and Clem Dubsky. They live one on either side of Phil Hamilton's and Jim's brother's two houses. Behind all these homes flows Boone creek and its wildlife and also its load of the discarded impedimenta of our gadgety times. Into the creek have been dumped old tires, discarded hardware, brush, branches and all sorts of things that unimaginative and lazy people toss there to the deterioration of the creek. This mess Jim and Clem have been trying to clean up. There is news worthy of our attention along the banks of that estimable waterway. The yen for Aid to Con­ servation led the two worthies named above to pursue higher and more scientific and mathematical enterprises. They came to the conclusion that if their project was to succeed they must work on BOTH sides of the creek. The need for a bridge arose before their minds. The vision of the utility of such a span spurred them on. They would make a dream-reality. They were not thinking of a bridge with approaches and piers; with toll gates and ribbon snipping openings; with mayor and governor in at­ tendance. No. Theirs was a more modest endeavor. The need had become a vision and now the vision was to become a reality. Bridges must be more than ideas. They must be built. Something practical had to be done. They just wanted to get across ten or twelve feet of water. Aha, the simple log across the creek idea came to mind. But sturdy logs are hard to find and much harder to move. The idea grew from log to plank. Somewhere they procured a plank. It was at this stage of construction that I happened on the scene. My two worthy friends were attempting to get the plank across the water. They ex- plained-pushed-shoved-- advised-warned-encouraged- EXCLAIMED-and -got the plank across. The trouble is that planks of this length have -- shall we say -- a certain elasticity -- a certain springiness about them. Jim volunteered to make the primary crossing on this bouncing, bronco bridge. He started out. He did right well - for a time, that is. Along about midway of the plank it twisted in its place and made a provocative remark to Jim. He made a soothing reply and that plank turned and ̂ hoved him in the water. I swear this is the way it happened. I was right there. I shall not quote the bridge's (plank's) remarks. Now Clem was all sympathy. He should have been, he had been doused a few days before and with Jim nearly to his hips in water Clem berated the plank. It subsided into mum­ blings. It was plain that more sup­ port must be provided. Ttye bridge, like an overladen llama, lay down on the job. From somewhere appeared a giant spool such as heavy pliable conduits are moved about on. These big spools are useful. My son, an architect in Eugene, Oregon, made a dining room table out of one once. The two engineers rolled this huge contraption into the creek. They persuaded it to lie on its side. This was a trick for the bottom of the creek is not as smooth and even as a billiard table. Now in the creek, behind Jim's house, is a pier to help bear the support of the crossing conservationists. The bridge will now take you from here to there. The work of cleaning up the rubbish can go on. I have not crossed the bridge. With Mrs. Erickson, I had been encouraging the engineers. This was tiring. Yet I should have screwed up my courage. I must try that bridge before the water gets too cold and before the floods of next spring get in their licks. It was fun. I like to think back on it. Have you ever done anything to help clean up our countryside? For Your Information Dear Friends, The funeral directing profession dates back to the Pharaohs in ancient Egypt and requires extensive study and preparation. Today a fun­ eral director often takes periodic post-gra­ duate work to maintain the highest profess­ ional standards. Besides a special talent for service-a great deal of dedication and patience is required. Resv';: fully, M c H e n r y 1 1 1 t n c PETER M.
