WOMEN VOTER LEAGUE URGES GOVERNOR TO ACT ON POLLUTION SINGERS . . . Vietnamese singers perform for U. S. Naval Mobile Construction force in Bon Sinh Province. The singers travel South Vietnam encouraging their people to fight communism. Mrs. Pearl Miyashiro, president of the Woodstock-McHenry League of Women Voters, announced that the following letter has been sent to Gov. Otto Kerner from the League of Women Voters of Illinois: "Dear Governer Kerner: " The League of Women Voters of Illinois urges you to . request that the Secretary of the »Interior convene a Federal Enforcement conference on the problems of Lake Michigan pollution to include the states of Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan. It seems inconsistent to us to consider lake pollution problems only in the present context of Illinois and Indiana when the waters of our Illinois area are contaminated by discharges from both Wisconsin and Indiana and each state is affected by discharges from its neighbors. Ip addition to indystrial and domestic pollution from individual states, we are confronted by increased eutrophication due to the alewife problem, hardly the responsibility of any one state. WHICH WAY DID IT GO? More exact measurements of the rate at which water travels in Illinois streams will be possible as the result of dye-tracer studies conducted this summer, William C. Ackermann, chief of the Illinois State Water Survey, reports. Time - of - travel measurements have become increasingly important in the study and control of water quality in streams, Ackermann said. Tracer studies conducted by the survey make use of a harmless red dye which is measured by its fluorescence and is usually not detectable to the eye. Carefully measured doses of the dye are placed in a stream, and the arrived of the dye is recorded at selected locations downstream.
