In preliminary 1977-78 budget plans, members approved the per student dollar allocation in order that planning within the individual buildings can proceed The figures are for supplies.

It applies to unin­ corporated areas, but many suburbs are expected to pass similar laws soon. All of these actions make sense Police in most areas have refrained from pushing prosecution of vandals because courts have been letting youngster off rather than give them criminal records. Closer to home, the Crescent Region Criminal Justice council . which serves McHenry. DuPage, Lake. Kane and Will counties, has con­ cluded that vandalism is singularly the most destructive criminal act occurring in this area. Although 35,228 acts of vandalism were recorded in the five counties in 1975, the council found only 2.553 arrests were made. Fewer than 7 percent of those arrested were prosecuted in juvenile courts and 85 per­ cent were let go with a warning by police and released into parents ' custody. Most police personnel feel that passing an ordinance is only the beginning. The long range goal is changing at­ ti tudes. and this includes peer pressure To this end, at least one suburb has established a youth jury in which teens sit in judgment of confessed youthful vandals and hand out punish­ ment This, plus the pinch in parents ' pocketbooks with the parent-responsibili ty require­ ments, may be just what is needed as vandalism becomes more widespread. While it continues to work in one suburb, others are keeping watch with the possibili ty of attempting to solve their own problems in a similar manner. K A F.

(DON PEASLEY PHOTOGRAPHY) CANCER Answerkline American Cancar Society y (Editor 's Note: This is a regular feature, prepared by the American C^pcer society in cooperation with the McHenry County Unit, Eustice Klein, president, to help save your life from cancer.) A supermarket employee asks: "Is radiation therapy only a "last ditch' form of treatment for cancer? ANSWERIine: No Radiation therapy is one of the useful tools that medicine has to control cancer, a tool that can be used in many ways It can be the sole means of treatment: it can be used as pre or post­ operative therapy to increase the effectiveness of surgery; it can be meaningfully combined with chemo-theraphy; it can be used to reduce pain, bleeding, or the pressure that a tumor can put on vital organs. In today's cancer treatment, radiation therapy is tailored to each patient 's condition and needs for maximum individual benefit . A secretary asks: What harm do aerosols do"' They are very convenient, and I certainly wouldn't l ike them to be taken off the market unless there is a good reason." ANSWERIine: For some time now, scientists and en­ vironmentalists have been concerned that the fluoro- carbons used to activate such sprays may be gathering in the atmosphere to such an extent that it may threaten the protective ozone layer which keeps many of the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays from reaching earth. These are the rays that cause skin cancer. In September, the National Academy of Sciences issued a report that recommended within two years, establish­ ment of new regulations regarding the use of aerosol sprays. During the two-year "waiting period", scientific teams in many nations are carefully observing the stratosphere using rockets and satelli tes for a better un­ derstanding of just what is happening A woman writes. "I am 40 years old. and I am concerned because both my grandmother and my mother developed breast cancer when they were in their 50's. I had planned to have breast X-ravs this year but I don t know what to do because there have been a lot of news stories saying that women of my age should not have m a m m o g r a p h y - - t h a t i t ' s dangerous What should I do? ANSWERIine: There is some question about the value of doing routine mammographic screening for breast cancer among women under 50. However, because of your family history, it is extremely important for you to both be under a physician's care and to have mammography if recommended You are at a slightly higher risk of developing breast cancer-but that, of course, does not mean that you actually will . Mam­ mography is an excellent way to find the disease early when it is highly curable. You are wise to want to protect yourself, and if you have any additional questions, please contact your local American Cancer Society Unit. New Ftki^ds For Eligible Many former servicemen and women may be eligible for a new federal benefit which could bring them additional revenue. Because these benefits are subject to an expiration date, the Veterans administration is making every effort to insure that -all aware of them This significant increase in entit lement for GI bill educational benefits was ap­ proved by congress late last year. The^Jiew provisions can have a t(Jral potential value in excess of $4,500 to married veterans with large families. Basically, the new law provides nine additional months of GI Bill eligibili ty to most veterans originally en­ tit led to thirty-six months for VA educational assistance. The new legislation does not change that portion of the law requiring that a veteran must use his GI bill benfits within ten years of his discharge from service. ' Therefore, veterans who have been out of the military service for ten years Available Veterans are not eligible for the ad­ ditional benefits. The Veterans administration estimates that 6.1 million veterans are currently eligible for GI bill benefits, including 3.8 million who have used part of their eligibili ty and 2.3 million who have not taken advantsgs- ofit*-at <d!. - The VA is particulary anxious, however, to reach the half-million men and women who have already used the full thirty-six months of eligibili ty that was the maximum en­ tit lement prior to enactment of the new legislation. They may now be entit led to an additional nine months of educational benefits. They urge all veterans eligible under the criteria outlined above to contact the Veterans administration for further details of this new entitlement.
