STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Combustion Cuts Cattails The scene last week was Illinois Beach State park near Zion as grim-faced firemen and state con servation workers watched flames slowly lick across a lOQ-acre marsh, crackling and belching clouds of black smoke as they consumed dry cattail stalks. Was this a nightmare sprung to real life from Smokey the Bear's brain? Decidedly not. It might be enough to bring Smokey hollering wide awake from a peaceful winter's hiber nation, but conservationists were using fire for their own purposes to control un wanted cattail growth and to open up nesting areas for the American bittern, an Illinois endangered species. Actually the purpose of •fire prevention was served too, according to Illinois Beach site superintendent Bob Grosso. Oftentimes in the past at the cattail marsh either vandalism or carelessness has resulted in firemen and conservation workers being dragged out of their beds in the middle of the night to fight fires, Grosso said. < But the long term effects of burning the cattails could be far more important, according to Illinois Department of Conservation natural areas biologist, Francis Harty. Cattails have become a nuisance in recent years in several sensitive wetlands natural areas, such as Volo Bog Natural area in Lake county and Pike Marsh Nature preserve at Moraine Hills State park irfMcHenry county, Harty said, if" Because of its aggressive nature, the cattail has the capability of establishing a near monoculture in certain wetland areas, consequently muscling out sedges and r % other native wetland species like the great bull rush and the river bull rush. As a threat to the ecosystem it might not rank with urban sprawl or an ozone inversion, but in the finely-balanced world qf "relatively undisturbed" natural areas and to the biologists who are trying to preserve a few remnants of that world, the invasion of cattails is a difficult problem which must be dealt with, and in a manner which will not injure the natural areas themselves. Nobody seems to know why cattails are showing such aggressive growth, said John Schwegman, chief natural areas biologist for the Department of Con servation. Old aerial photos taken 20 years ago showed no cattails in many of the areas now plagued, Sch wegman said. One possible reason that has been offered is the lack of natural control in the form of prairie fires and fluc tuations in water level which probably helped control cattail growth in the past, Schwegman said. But now, with the establishment of fire protection, even in rural areas, and the damming of many of our waterways, these two natural controls are lost. So, encouraged by research in Wisconsin into fire as a means of controlling rampant cattail growth, Harty expects to learn from the expereince at Illinois Beach how to use burning as a means of controlling cattails in Illinois' nature preserves. A big bonus may also come in opening up more of the swamp to provide nesting sites for the increasingly rare American bittern. The bittern continues to stop at Illinois Beach on its spring migration flights but has not been seen nesting at the park for the past couple of years, Harty said. Two of Europe's largest economies are attempting to do what many historians and economists say is im possible: to put the brakes on their steady march toward state socialism and to reaffirm the principles of a free enterprise market economy. In tBripun, the changes have come swiftly. After just six months in office, Con servative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has made good on many of her campaign promises. She has cut personal income taxes? cut the growth of the money supply and ended wage-and- price controls. She has announced plans to .cut public Spending by £.5 percent and to take the government out of the management of a number of nationalized industries. These steps have not been painless for Mrs. Thatcher. British public opinion polls indicate that after wallot the Labor party in elect! last May, Mrs. Thatcher's Conservatives actually trail Labor in popularity now. According to a recent analysis in Business Week, this development has worried' maAy Thatcher sympathizers, including some . members of ,her cabinet. Will her five-year term as prime minister be enough time to demonstrate to voters the long range economic recovery her policies should bring about? Will she have to make compromises out of political necessity? Judging by the ^ex periences of French Prime Minister Raymond Barre, the answer to the second question coiild be "yes." With the support of President Valery Giscard d'Estaing, Prime Minister Barre has been attempting to nudge France toward a market-oriented economy since 1976. He has cautiously lifted controls from the French economy which have been around for centuries. Barre is pushing a series of cutbacks in government subsidies for such public services as electricity and transportation. And, he has ordered steady decontrol of industrial prices. But the French prime minister is walking through a political minefield. Earlier this year, he had to . • V • • backtrack on a historic decision to decontrol. the price of bread. Bread prices had been undgpgovemment control since 1789. * These efforts by the British and French govehi- ments to turn away from the socialism which has wracked their economies will undoubtedly not be smooth sailing. But, it is, significant that they and others are Willing to acknowledge the failure of their welfare state systems and attempt to reaffirm the virtues of capitalism.
