I just found out that the contractor I worked for last year didn't pay fringe benefits to my union, and I may lose pension credits. Is this illegal? WJio can help get the contractor to pay? Yes. Wage Claims Division, Illinois Department of Labor, 910 S. Michigan Avenue, Room 1808, Chicago, Illinois 60605, (312) 793-2808 2. I am pregnant and have requested a six month maternity leave; can I collect unemployment insurance while I am on maternity leave? One of the basic requirements for unem­ ployment eligibility is that you are able to work, available for work and actively looking for work. If your employer grants you an approved maternity leave because you are no longer able to work, you would not normally be eligible for benefits. Unemployment In­ surance cannot and does not protect you against wage loss while you are absent from work because of physical incapacity or while you are idle through choice. (Questions may be submitted to Workwise, 910 S. Michigan avenue, Room 1823, Chicago, 111., 60605) The DuPage-McHenry Lung association, Woodstock, reminds parents that only four reservations remain available for the summer camp for asth­ matic children, to be held from Saturday, July 28, through Sunday, Aug. 5, near Metamora, 111., northeast of Peoria. "Camp Superkids," as it is called by lung association in Illinois, is for any asthmatic child age 8 through 12, whose family physician believes the child can benefit from camping experience that other children normally have. With doctors and nurses provided round the clock, the Christmas Seal organizations, in Illinois now make this possible. "Our first experience with Camp Superkids last summer was very satisfactory," said Don Carlock, executive director of the DuPage- McHenry Lung Association. "Not one visit to the infirmary was for an asthma-related crisis. The children spent their time swimming, hiking and doing other things normal to a summer camp atmosphere." Publicized earlier through school nurses and physicians, response to the camp this year has been heavy. Out of a total cost of $175, Christmas Seals will provide a camp stipend of $80 or possibly more, depending on family need. Interested parents should contact Carlock as soon as possible in Wood­ stock at 815-338-6675. Livestock Award Night Attracts Many Winners WHO KNOWS! 1. Name the flower for the month of May. 2.

Some Herbicides Suspend Cost-Share Funds Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland recently announced that effective March 1, cost- share funds and technical assistance are dropped for agricultural conservation practices requiring herbicides 2,4,5-T and 2,4,5-TP. The herbicides are used to control brush and weeds in forest, pasture, range and rights of way. "Secretary Bergland does not want to take even a remote chance that any of our programs will result in a health hazard to the American people," Jim Lucas, county executive director of the McHenry County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS), said. "We will review cost-share Agreements with farmers and ranchers to insure that modifications are made to comply with the s u s p e n s i o n o r d e r . " He noted that there is an exception. The U.S. Depart­ ment of Agriculture would continue to provide financial and technical assistance to farmers or ranchers using 2,4,5-T on range land and in rice fields. In its emergency suspension order, the En­ vironmental Protection agency did not restrict these practices. Lucas urged that all persons with questions about com­ pliance procedures contact their local ASCS office. K now£t,* a * sTHi What is a cloudburst? Is a cloudburst a weather phenomenon or rather an ordinary occurrence? A cloudburst is merely terminology used to describe a very heavy rain. In some areas of the country a cloudburst is said to have occurred durim the heaviest downpour in a thunderstorm. What is called a cloudburst usually takes place in summer, when high thunderheads build up and release torrents of water in very large drops (especially at the beginning of the downpour). But there is actually no difference in what people call a cloudburst and the unusually heavy rain. The term, cloudburst, then, is mostly folklore.
