MAY 24.19U5 Garden club members plant herb garden Students collect money for Easter Seals For their fifth year, members of the Kishwaukee Valley Garden Club are maintaining arid expanding a pioneer herb garden that club members planted near the society's 1847 Luke Gannon log cabin. Designed so that museum visitors and school children could imagine pion&er homemaker, Margaret Gannon, moving between her log home and garden, the herbs are carefully identified and their uses explained. Many of the plants like lemon balm, sweet fennfel, camomile, hessop and anise were used for medicinal purposes as well as for seasonings. It is through the continued efforts of the Kishwaukee Valley Garden Club that the setting around the log cabin represents a realistic backdrop for the pioneering demonstrations taking place at the cabin during the museum's open season. Naomi Northrop's second grade class from Immanuel Lutheran School in Crystal Lake has won the Purple Pie Man contest sponsored by Easter Seals. The contest was held to raise funds to support therapy programs for children with disabilities living in McHenry County. Students from schools throughout McHenry county collected money and filled coin cards. Purple Pie Man book­ marks were awarded for completed cards. A total of $650 was raised for the Easter Seal therapy program. 4'Easter Seals is very proud of the efforts these students made to help those less fortunate," Executive Director Steve Krause said. "We would like to thank each school that par­ ticipated and the teachers who encouraged their students in this fundraismg project." Crystal Lake schools tftat participated in the event in­ clude: Cantebury School, Coventry School, North School, South School, West School. Husmann School, and Immanuel Lutheran School. Marengo's Hawthorne School, Algonquin's Neubert Elementary, and Woodstock's St. Mary's School also participated.

Retired teachers fighting to protect pension funds voters will approve the con- situtional amendment we won't have to worry about the safety of the reserves we have." IRTA invites other organizations with similar in­ terests to join it in the effort over the next 11 months to obtain the necessary. number of signatures. The Illinois Retired Teachers Association has announced its intent to place a constitutional ammendment before voters in the next general electibn that would prohibit the General Assembly from tapping pension reserves. "There are those in the legislature that would divert our pension reserves for other purposes, and they must be stopped," Marjorie Shea, IRTA spokesperson declared. The investment authority for the pension funds is currently vested in the boards of trustees of the five pension systems. t, Several bills have been in­ troduced which would require the divestiture of pension funds from firms and financial in­ stitutions doing business in South Africa. Research in­ dicates that such divestiture would have an immediate .costto the five systems of $215 million. * The divestiture bills would also require the divested funds to be re-invested in firms doing business in -Illinois to enhance the state's urban re­ development.* "These are not public funds," Shea advised. "They are a 'trust' that in many cases represents a person's life savings." "Like the near bankruptcy of . Social Security, continued un- derfunding of our pensions poses a financial problem for the Estate," Shea said.
