NATURE FILM OF INTEREST IN FOX RIVER AREA Joseph Antos of Big Rocfc, 111., nationally known producer of outdoor nature films, will present his new "Fox River Canyon" production on the proposed Norway to Wedron Wild Rivers area, at the Kane County Clean Streams committee meeting to be held on March 20 at 7:30 p.m., Rosary high school auditorium, 901 North Edgelawn, Aurora. This meeting is open to the public, and there is no admission charge. Philip Chapman, chairman of the Kane County Clean Streams committee said, "Steps are now being taken to preserve this Norway to Wedron area along the Fox River, under the Wild Rivers Act, which is now pending before Congress in Washington. . .Mr. Antos* Fox River Canyon' production will give the people of Illinois an opportunity to see the need of preserving this beautiful stretch of the Fox River where the 1,004-year old red cedar tree, said to be the oldest living thing in Illinois, once stood." Great progress to save the area was made last June, when State Representatives John J. "Jack " Hill of Aurora, and Tobias "Toby" Barry of Ladd toured the area in canoes with Gunnar Peterson, project director of the Open Lands Project; Ralph Frese of the Illinois Paddling Council; Chapman, and other interested people. Following the trip, Representative Hill and Barry introduced Illinois House Bill 2464, which passed the House, and the late Senator Joseph R. Peterson of Princeton, successfully carried the bill through the Senate and Governor Kerner signed THE LAW SERVES YOU by Illinois State Bar Association WOMAN'S L&GAL WKAPONS'.' SCREAM TOI^S THE LIST What legal weapons are available to the woman who wishes to protect herself in case of attack? According to the Illinois State Bar association, one of a woman's most effective defenses, and one about which there is no legal question, is a scream. And there is nothing wrong with kicking, eye-gouging, hairpulling, scratching, biting, and to -ah. They are part of oner§ natural -- and perfectly legalarsenal of weapons. And the law wouldn't argue with the woman who uses a nail file, metal comb, pen or similar object to be found in her purse, to defend herself against -an attacker. But there is a limit. Illinois law prohibits the carrying of concealed vyeapons, without exception for the woman' who must be out alone at night. The prohibition includes concealed pistols, switchblade knives, blackjacks and the like. It is not illegal to carry a firearm in an open manner, but the person who does so in a populated area might be charged with disturbing the peace. The tear-gas pen has been promoted as the ideal weapbn for a woman, but this too is banned in Illinois. It is illegal to possess a tear-gas pen, whether or not it is concealed. Aside from being illegal, concealed weapons create a false sense of security, according to an ISBA spokesman. He said: "Experience has shown that in most instances people who carry concealed weapons do not get a chance to use them when attacked. "Furthermore, in most instances, when the weapon is pulled out it often is used against the one who is attacked. As a result, injuries sustained by the victim are often more serious than they otherwise would have been." He added that the best solution is toavoidthe circumstance that invite attack. "A woman should avoid going out at night in any area where she might be exposed to attack auu virtually any neighborhood is potentially dangerous." But if attacked, a most effective, and legal weapon is to scream -- and keep screaming. the bill. Under the provisions of the bill, this area between Norway and Wedron on the Fox river may be eligible for purchase by federal funds under the Wild Rivers Act by the Illinois Department of Conservation. ACT OF VANDALISM Shortly after this legislation was introduced in June, 1967, the 1,004-year old red cedar tree was sawed-down by what was said to be ^p^act of vandalism. Recent reports indicate unless the Norway to Wedron area is preserved uicferthe Wild Rivers Act, and unless the state of Illinois can devise an alternate route to the Illinois river by way of Morgan Creek and Aux Sable Creek in Grundy county, the entire area could be flooded out and destroyed by a proposed dam project. State Rep. Hill, whowillattend this March 20 meeting, and give a report, said, "When you see natural beauty like this, you can't imagine anyone want - ing to destroy it -- either with a saw, as the tree was cut down, or flooding the area out, as what could happen with a dam project between Norway and Wedron." Joseph Antos, whose photographic expeditions have taken him into the wilderness of Canada and Alaska, and down the turbulent canyon bound Colorado river, said, "The wilderness to me was always that which would be found only in far away places, yet little did I realize here, just twenty-miles from my home, I would find a small Utopia -- a region which compares very favorably with the' m'ghty canyons of the West." Antos will show this region in its colorful best through the use of a unique twin lens imageblending projector, which he designed and built. This patented system allows him to blend the colors, patterns and shapes of the various scenes in synchronism with sound effects and music in such a way as to give the audience the effect of being there. The Rosary high school auditorium 901 North Edgelawn, Aurora, is located west of Route 31 and Randall road, and North of Illinois avenue. Mileposts which show mileage traveled were erected recently on Interstate Highways in Michigan. They are light reflective, so they can be seen at night. Coming Saturday Nite S9.
