Growth In state . A two-year study of the states potential , for eco- , Miomic growth -- a study designed to help chart the • rQourse of Illinois in future years -- has been launched y.,.by the Illinois Board of Ecoriopnic. pevelopm^nt. • The study will assess the physical, economic and ;> ;hun>an resources of the state, as well as its needs, so that state government can more effectively urogram its 'JsSrvices to the public. The study of all of the 10?counties., and 1,200 town and municipalities was made possible by- a- $642,000 .r; federal grant which the state is matching in the form - of services by existing employees.,who are already engaged Jn the field of planning.^', , ( y ; : ; ' The survey will provide the first objective analysis in history of the health and prospective health of the ' gate's economy. If will also give a scientific basis for ; coordinating the state's water resources. Once basic economic information is acquired, for instance, it is expected to be easier to,anticipate population changes, since population grows and declines primarily in response to opportunities for making a living. The diversified nature of Ilflh'dis ecoijomy makes •' it difficult to forecast changes without the information of such a study; yet, this very diversity is an asset because downward trends in one industry~&re <£ften balahced by upward trends in another. • ' MEDICAL SPEAKER Dr. Verner M. Swan will discuss "Common Pediatric Surgical Problems" at a dinner HOW TO ACCUMULATE MONEY ON THE INSTALLMENT P-LAN SYMDICATE OF AMERICA, MC. meeting of this McHenry County Medical society scheduled for 6:45 Thursday evening, Mprch" 19," at Martinetti's in Crystal Lake. Dr. Swan is an instructor in the College of Medicine at Northwestern university. In his recent speech to a joint session of the. Congress, President Johnson declared "war on' poverty." However, the President failed to mention the threat to the livelihood of millions of American workers who are victims of the rapid increase of imported products. In recent weeks, I have been visited by steel fabricators, automotive and electronic parts manufacturers, cattle raisers and producers, all of whom complained about the rising tide of imports. Particularly disturbing are the practices ^of some foreign nations, which provide subsidies --thus rendering it impossible for American producers and manufacturers to meet this type of competition. This practice is quite prevalent with respect to steel imports. The industry refers to it as "dumping," but what is really meant is that foreign-made steel is subsidized to a point beyond the ability of the American steel producer to meet the competition. These practices, plus the rapid buildup of foreign steel mills, resulted in steel imports exceeding our domestic output in 1963 -- for the first time in history. One may wonder whether a policy of financing foreign steel-producing facilities is consistent with our best national interests, when such ruthless foreign competition besets us. A highly sophisticated form of subsidy has been developed by the Canadian government, in an attempt to develop its automotive parts industry. While imposing a 25 per cent tariff on imported automobile transmissions, the Canadian government allows a corresponding 25 per cent credit on other automotive parts "exported" to the United States. Many parts manufacturers in the United States, including some in our own 12th Congressional District, are unable to meet the resulting price competition. Likened to steel "dumping," the practice has already hurt many American concerns. Of more immediate concern is the threat of livestock imports from New Zealand and Australia. Cattlemen throughout the nation, again including our own 12th district, are suffering from this foreign competition. Beef and veal imports from Australia, which totaled 18 million pounds in 1958, skyrocketed to 517 million pounds in 1963. Beef imports from New Zealand also showed a sharp increase. The Congress has responded in a variety of ways to these threats to our economy. With respect to steel "dumping" and foreign subsidies on parts manufactured, the answer may #be found in pending legislation. More than fifty bills have been introduced, aimed at curbing steel "dumping," with hearings on these bills soon to get under way. Such a bill may come to the floor of the House in the near future. After threatening legislation to protect the livestock industry, the Administration has reached voluntary agreements with Australia and New Zealand to restrict future imports to the 1962-1963 level.

Gordon features, 9th floor, Resor building, 37 W. Seventh street* Cincinnati 2, Ohio, sending along a stamped self-addressed envelope.). Q. How can I perform an emergency repair on a door that sticks at the bottom? ^ A. Open the door and slip a large sheet of medium-coarse sandpaper under It, rough side up, at the place where the door sticks. Have someone hold down the paper with his foot on one side of the door, while you hold down the other side.

By setting your mold In a pan of ice water. This b a special boon when your kitchen time is limited -n and it is also helpful when making layered gelatin molds. Q. How can I menfP breaks in a toothpaste tube -- or any such kind of tube for that matter? A. With a strip of sturdy cellophane tape wrapped at least twice around the tube* of imported beef will still be kept below the domestic price and American cattlemen will be forced to accept lower prices. They would like protection in the form of a tariff on imported beef. In May, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade will meet in Geneva, Switzerland. At that meeting, representatives of fifty-two nations will seek agreements on reductions in tariffs in the hope of promoting greater international trade. Persons familiar with the development of the European Common Market are aware of the shrewd "arm's length" dealing to be expected of the European negotiators. Is it possible that our American representatives will be no match for their foreign counterparts? Many in the Congress, including this member, suspect that too much authority over imports, exports, tariffs, and other aspects of international trade was surrendered to the Executive department in the 1962 Trade Expansion Act. With the overwhelming Democratic majorities in the House and Senate it is quite unlikely that any modification of that law will occur this year.
