Green street, McHenry. ^ Church Plans Holiday Programs The teachers and student body at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church have been in rehearsal for two children's Christmas programs being planned. The theme for the events is "An Old-Fashioned Christmas" and the two programs will include students from pre-school age through eighth grade. The Christmas program for students in pre school through fourth grade will be held Dec. 7 at 7 p.m. and the Christmas program for students in fifth through eighth grade will be held Dec. 14 at 7 p.m. At the Anatomical Car Stickers conclusion of the presentations, there will be refreshments for everyone in the fellowship room of the church. \ All of the children will receive a sack full of goodies and a gift as they leave the church on the night of the program. Virginia Karls and Gladys Mayer are serving as co-directors of the program. Cool Eggs Egg producers, handlers and consumers should remember to keep eggs as cool as possible at all times. Shoppers should place their eggs in a refrigerator as soon as possible. Residents of Illinois who are Anatomical * Gift donors may now place an organ donor sticker in a specified place on the back of a driver license. Secretary of State Michael J. Howlett announced All driver licenses issued by the Secretary of State's office now carry this message at the side of the new license: "If the use of an organ sticker is desired, put it on the upper right corner of the back of your license." "The sticker will call at­ tention that the licensee will be carrying an Anatomical Gift card, which will give specific direction regarding the organs to be donated in case of death," Howlett said. Official permission for placing the stickers on licenses was granted by an amendment to the Illinois^jehicle code passed in the last session of the General Assembly. Spice Consumption U.S. imports of spices in 1974 set «an all-time record--more than 306 million pounds. Coupled with domestic production of spices, this made America's total consumption of spices ap­ proximately 408.5 million pounds. Domestic production now ac­ counts for about 25 per cent of the spices consumed in this country. SECTION I - PAGE 9 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY.

The anniversary is worth noting because it marks the passage of that half-decade during which the United States began its first coordinated federal effort to grapple with environmental pollution. And over a relatively short period of time - short in comparison to the historic period in which environmental problems have been accumulating - EPA has made substantial progress in the environmental area. Equally important, the nation has new laws firmly on the books and functioning to protect the American public from the unwanted side-effects of an increasingly complex technology. The creation of EPA in 1970 pulled together some fifteen different units in various federal departments and agencies that had been trying, with uneven results, to cope with mounting environmental problems. At the same'time Congress began enacting, in response to public demand, a number of major new environmental laws in areas such as air, water, pesticides, solid waste, and noise. „ The results of this consolidation of environmental efforts, improved funding, and new legal authority have been impressive. Specifically, some of the environmental improvements over the past half-decade are these: , Emissions by 1975 model cars of two major pollutants, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, have been reduced nearly 85 percent from autos made before 1968. Thanks to this and compliance with regulations by other sources of air pollution such as factories and power plants, the nation has made significant progress in cleaning up the air. Concentrations of sulfur dioxides, which can cause lung damage in humans as well as attack plants and buildings, have been reduced by about 25 percent. Dust, soot and smoke declined 14 percent between 1970^nd 1974. The quality of the water in the Great Lakes, as well as numerous rivers and other lakes, is steadily improving, thanks to EPA enforcement activities, state and local efforts, and the federal construction grant programs. This $18 billion program, it should be added, is creating hundreds of thousands of jobs while cleaning up waterways. After generations of operating as a "throwaway" society, the public is taking the first serious steps to convert trash to fuel and to recycle valuable materials. EPA now has several demonstration projects in both energy and materials recovery systems which have stimulated cities to develop their own plans for such conservation. By 1980, at least twenty-five major American cities will be involved in some sort of resource recovery of municipal trash. The agency has promulgated new noise regulations for interstate motor carriers, and has proposec^pther noise standards for air compressors, railroads, commercial jet aircraft and small propeller-driven airplanes. The goal is to achieve by 1992 a reduction of the population exposed to excessive, health-related noise from the present 13 million to less than one million. More than 34,000 pesticide products made from one or more of 1,200 chemical compounds are now i^gistered by EPA. After lengthy research and hearings, the agency has banned three pesticides - DDT, aldrin and dieldrin - because their damage to human health and the environment were judged to outweigh their benefits to society. While substantial progress has been made during the past five years, a number of major problems remain. Despite improvements in emission from new cars, auto pollution is still a major problem in large cities. It will be several more years before the national air quality standards are achieved in many of these areas. Another problem is the threat posed by the introduction of thousands of new chemicals into the environment each year. A number of these chemicals have been found to cause cancer, and yet the agency still lacks legislative authority to deal with this problem. Recent studies have also shown that the drinking water supplies in a number of cities are v threatened by exotic new organic chemicals which, up to now, fiave gone uncontrolled. EPA, under the new Safe Drinking Water Act, is just beginning to attack this problem; a great deal of work remains to be done. None of these problems has an easy solution. Whether EPA is able to solve them during the next five years depends largely on public support for environmental improvement. Fortunately, there is every indication that public support for efforts remains strong. A recent poll by the Opinion Research corporation found that "given a choice, most people (over 60 percent) indicate that they believe it is more important to pay the costs involved in protecting the environment than to keep prices and taxes down and run die risk of more pollution." Even more important, Opinion Research has reported that "current economic problems facing the nation, despite their distressing effect on so many segments of the population, do not seem to have dispelled the public's basic desire for permanent pollution controls." What these findings suggest is that even hard economic times have not blunted public support for environmental protection. The environmental movement is emerging from a difficult and trying period.
