M a z a t l a n . A c a p u l c o . Zihautanejo and Puerto Vallarta Besides a great deal of sightseeing, they also saw the high cliff divers at Acapulco and the famed "Aztec Flyers." These men climb a pole 130 feet high, attach ropes to their ankles and "fly" in a series of slow spirals to the ground.

HOW TO GET FILM SAFELY THROUGH MAIL The local Ringwood Post Office has given us a release on "How to Get Film Safely Through the Mail." That increased clicking you hear is the sound of shutters as the vacation season ap­ proaches and the family camera comes out of winter hibernation to record travel and leisure time activities. All of which means that there's a big jump in the number of film rolls traveling via mail to photo processors across the country. " I t ' s t o o b a d .

This can be avoided, she said, by following these mailing tips: Wherever possible, use the envelopes supplied by the film processing companies. If none is available, make sure the envelope you use is big enough and strong enough to carry your film safely through the mail. The processor's address and your return address should appear, accurately and legibly, on the outside of the envelope Equally important, tape your name and address to the film roll or cartridge itself, so it can be returned to "you should it get separated from the envelope If you're mailing photos instead of film, it's a good idea to put your name and address on the back of each. That's also good for your own historical record many years later. And remember. Post­ master Swearingen advises, proper postage and ZIP Code help avoid delays in getting your film to where it's going.

"However, Joel Wakit- sch's editorial, Local Tur­ moil in the Midst of Change, in your April 10 paper has, in my opinion, overstepped the right of sports editorializing "My coaching career at Johnsburg for the last three years has been focused with wrestling with a group of r e m a r k a b l e s t u d e n t athletes. "I think a little background is in order. Wrestling was exposed for the first time to Johnsburg students at the Junior high level under my direction The first year we numbered 35 and we won two out of 10 meets and came in last in the Fox Valley conference tournament. "The second year we were five and seven and came in sixth out of 10 in the Fox Valley conference tour­ nament with 41 athletes. "This year while I was head coach at this high school Bill Hauck, an out­ standing coach, drew a total of 53 athletes in the Junior high for a six and four record and fifth in the Fox Valley conference. "This season saw 22 out of 41 wrestlers finish the high school's first varsity season. My assistant. Coach Mike Roberts, and myself started six to eight freshmen on the varisty team most of the year and came up with a dual record of three and 10. We lost four meets by four points or less and, yes, we were also outscored t r e m e n d o u s l y f o r humiliating losses during the year. "But where do you get the notion that wrestling barely survived its initial season'? All coaches would like to see more fans, myself in­ cluded, but why would any sports writer make a generalized statement that the fans wouldn't miss' this sport or that9 Do you know for sure? What about the 75- plus parents of the wrestlers already in the program" "I enjoyed your analogy of local athletic supporters hating to see a 6-foot 8-inch center make an idiot out of himself because he hasn't touched a basketball in organized play since eighth grade. It is not an amusing picture "What do you think of 53 athletes who love a 'sport that doesn't exist for them after eighth grade? This is not an amusing picture either. Is it quality athletics? Truthfully though, the worst picture 1 can come up with are the faces of 22 returning athletes along with others who want to join them with nothing to go to. "I can't speak for golf or the individuals in it, but I'm sure they could write a letter like this one. "I also believe that my board and administration try to do the best job possible with the present economic problem. "Nothing has been decided yet. and as Joel puts it, 'No one can tell the future'. "But how can a sports writer in good conscience condone a statement such as 'cutting whole programs like wrestling or golf seems to be the prudent thing to do'? "In my opinion, denying any student in any subject or sport exposure to it. after they have shown interest, is imprudent, especially when that sport has grown by leaps and bounds every year "Don March "Head Wrestling Coach "Johnsburg High School" BACKS BOTTLE BILL "Editor: "Every day new op­ portunities arise for the American voters to help shape the laws that they live by. But seldom do taxpayers get a chance to save tax dollars, reduce industrial energy consumption, and increase employment with a single piece of legislation HB 343, the proposed Illinois Beverage Container act now in the Illinois House, would do just that "If you feel that you aren't paying too much for taxes, that gas prices aren't high enough and unemployment in our county shouldn't be reduced, then don't write to your legislators, because if they don't hear from yoii, the only voice they'll hear will be that of the container manufacturer lobbyists. "It's more profitable for the container manufacturers to keep making containers, having you throw them away, having you pay tax dollars to clean up the resulting solid waste, and having you pay for a new container each time, than to make returnables. "You can help yourselves. Speak up Tell your legislators in Springfield, Thomas Hanahan, Richard Klemm and Jill Zwick, the time for an Illinois Bottle Bill is now! "Lawrence K.
