JULY 21.1978 Peinpfflivf THE WAYWARD SCHOOL BUS Bv RONALD REAGAN CONSERV ATION RESOURCE TRAINING - Listening to the first of several area resource people are members of the McHenry County Conservation district's United States Youth Conservation corps. Victor Meuch, a Woodstock photographer, explains camera mechanisms, describes good photo composition, and discusses the environmental impact of film processing for the group. The information is important to the Y.C.C.'ers because they will be shooting the slides to be shown at the McHenry County fair for their display. Four of the twelve youth participants shown here are, left to right. Dale Lehmen, Harvard; Sue Navlyt, Woodstock; Marcie Roettiger, Spring Grove; and Kathy Mayer, Richmond.

Probably, yet that is just what Los Angeles' new court- ordered busing program will entail for many young children, beginning in September. Despite a variety of in­ novations in various parts of the country to improve and equalize educational op­ portunities (for example, "magnet" schools, cluster schools, academic parks, open enrollment and the flexible voucher system )* federal judges have their needles stuck on the same old record-rigid forced busing schemes which disrupt family and neigh­ borhood life. Not to mention wasting thousands of gallons of gasoline and tax dollars used to carry out such schemes. Increasingly, over the last three years or so, public opinion has been running strongly against compulsory busing. But, judges (unlike elected officials), are insulated from public opinion. That may be fine when they are judging points of law, but when they legislate, such as with enforced busing schemes, they can up end people's daily lives without answering to anyone. There is a remedy that is coming closer to fulfillment. Back in 1975, a freshman congressman, Rep. Ron MottL D Ohio, introduced a con­ stitutional amendment to abolish forced school busing as a means of achieving racial integration. Rep. Don Ed­ wards, D-Calif., chairman of the House Sub-committee on Civil and Constitutional Rights, refused to hold hearings on the bill. Mottl tried to get a discharge petition, the only other means of getting the bill to the floor. It requires a majority of members' signatures, 218, and he only got 17. Early in 1977 Mottl tried again. His bill has two key provisions. One is that "no The mos t spec t acu la r wal lpaper tha t ever deco- r ra ted a youngs te r ' s room is on sa le r i t fh t now a t P lywood Minneso ta .

PLYWOOD MINNESOTA WOODSTOCK 1230 Davis Road (Bypass Rt. 14 & 47) v 815-338-1440 Hours: Monday ft Friday 9 a.m.-8:30 p.m. Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday 9 a.m.-6 p.m.; Saturday 9 a.m.-5 p Rt 14 / \ r*- £ c--h Davis Rd. 13 New Plywood Minnesota Warehouse student shall be compelled to attend public school other than the one nearest his residence." The other says, "The Congress shall have the power to enforce by appropriate legislation the provisions of this article; and to ensure equal educational op­ portunities for all students wherever located." Edwards again refused to hold hearings and, in fact, worked with Judiciary Com­ mittee Chairman Peter Rodino, D-N.J., to persuade some signers to take their names off Mottl's petition. Ten did but by late summer last year Mottl had collected a net total of 197 signatuips. To go from 17 to 197 signatures in a little over a year says something about the growing unpopularity of forced busing. (Though it must be added that Mottle had also become wiser about the ways of Congress, too.) This week I learned from Rep. Mottl's office that the number of signatures is now up to 201 - just 17 short of the needed 218. The signers are about evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans though it is customary in the House not to disclose individual names while a petition is being circulated. Mottl believes that if he can get his petition to the floor it will pass and also would have a good chance in the Senate. He says, "There is growing sen­ timent in Congress that com­ pulsory busing just hasn't worked; that it is a case of many minuses and no pluses." Meanwhile, on the tax revolt front, legislators from all over the country gathered in Denver the other day at the National Conference of State Legislatures to hear the news from speaker after speaker: cut government spending voluntarily and give the people tax relief or you'll be swamped. Good advice, but it's going to be very hard for those among the legislators who were weaned on the tax-and-spend, elect-and- elect philosophy to change very quickly. To help them along, taxpayer groups in some thirty states are at work on various measures to force tax and spending limits on their state governments. One wonders why all those legislators had to go to Denver to learn this. They could have stayed home, read the newspapers and saved the taxpayers of their own state the cost of the trip.

Tf Spending Plans Gov. James R. Thompson recently vowed to keep the state budget for the 1979 Fiscal Year balanced, despite what he called "excess spending measures" which were added by the General Assembly. "It would require increases in the income tax, the sales tax and a major increase in the gasoline tax to support the spending plans of this General Assem­ bly," the governor said. "I am going to trim those spending plans down to what we can afford, without any tax in­ crease," Thompson said.

Safety Council NATIONAL FARM SAFETY WEEK July 25-31 A fashionable farmer these days is one who's wardrobe for ' working activities is accented • on protection. •Hiis word doesn't come from 4 Regent street in London, where the elegant Englishman gets outfitted. It comes from the , National Safety council, which , notes that personal protective • equipment can bring about a . substantial reduction in the " n u m b e r a n d s e v e r i t y o f ' disabling work injuries on * farms and ranches. "Injuries that do occur ; despite wearing protective , clothing will in all probability • be less severe and result in a shorter disability (and therefore a shorter amount of ' time away from work than if the equipment were not used," the council believes. The National Safety council is so convinced that personal protective equipment can make significant inroads in the farm work injury problem that it is developing a special three-year program to bring about more extensive use of the equipment on farms and ranches and to encourage suppliers of this equipment to make it more readily available to the agricultural markfet. "We do not hesitate to r e c o m m e n d p e r s o n a l protective equipment to far­ m e r s a n d r a n c h e r s , " t h e council said. "It works. It is widely used in many industries, and massive evidence exists to convince even the most skeptical person about the equipment's ability to reduce . time and money losses, as well as pain and suffering." lite department notes that the executives of manufac­ turing and construction firms, constantly conscious of costs and production, consistently require safety hats, goggles, shoes, and other equipment for their work forces.
