MAIL FROM SHAWNEETOWN Two million pieces of mail from Shawneetown on one day! That's thfe target set' tat II linois businesses and private citizens to mark the first day issue of a special six-cent U.S. stamp commemorating 150 years of statehood. Gov Otto Kerner will purchase the first stamp from Assistant Postmaster General William M. McMillan at the beginning of a full day of activity on Monday, Feb. 12, at the historic Illinois community, site of the oldest continuous post office in the state. Postal officials said that 120 million Illinois Sesquicentennial stamps will be issued. The Water Pollution conference of federal, state and local officials being held in Chicago points up the need for conserving pure water resources in Illinois and the nation. While the Chicago hearings relate primarily to polluted conditions in Lake Michigan, there is concern in Illinois' 12th Congressional district and elsewhere about polluted conditions in our rivers and streams, as well as in our underground sources of water. Pollution of Lake Michigan by Illinois communities and industries is susceptible to a relatively easy albeit expensive solution. The municipal wastes frpm our Lake county communities will undoubtedly be diverted to inland waterways witfe the passage of the North Shore Sanitary district referendum in May. This proposed $35 million expenditure is expected to be augmented by federal and state contributions to carry out large scale revamping of existing treatment facilities with the elimination of all sewage effluents which now empty into the lake. Industries likewise will be expected to find other means of disposing of their waste water effluents. The Lake County Department of Public Works may participate in a referendum for a supplemental amount at the same time. Citizen support of these local initiatives is neces- ' sary. This will leave only the problem of the large federal installations at Great Lakes Na--1 val Training center and the Army base at Fort Sheridan. Confronted with an executive order issued recently by President Johnson these federal installations (which now account for three-fourths of all waste generated by Federal sources into the Lake Michigan basin) -are expected to fully comply soon. The reports of pollution resulting from dumping dredged materials into Lalje Michigan by direction of the U.S. Corps <k Engineers have, been parti- tlarly disturbing. A new means ^disposing of these dreidged materials will have to be found Eggs are easily pletely digested. and com- RECEIVES DIPLOMA , Eleanor Justen of the Pin Curl Beauty Shop, has just received her diploma from Holiday Magic Cosmetics.

McHENRY GARAGE "JEEP SALES & SERVICE" McCLORY REPORTS From Washington as a part of the battle against water pollution. Even the best municipal sewage treatment plants appear to remove only 85 to 90 percent of the pollutants. The remaining 10 to 15 percent continues to pollute the receiving waters. In the face of extensive research on water pollution, it is a surprising commentary that no substantial improvements in sewage treatment technology have been developed in more than 50 years. When it is considered that constant advances are made in such sophisticated areas as space exploration and computer technology, the need for improved water pollution techniques cannot be overemphasized. An area of particular concern to residents' of Illinois' 12th district is the constant threat of pollution from private septic systems. Many of these malfunctioning septic plants are &" constant threat to health when their effluents reach either surface or underground water sources. It bears repeating that treatment facilities by industries should be spurred by tax credit or rapid depreciation provisions to the end that offending private industries may solve their own water pollution problems without Federal loans or grants. Continuing public interest in the problem of water pollution and recognition of the need for Federal, state and local cooperation, as well as private initiative, is. essential it we are to preserve Lake Michigan for future generations of Americans and restore other surface and underground waters for the multiple uses to which these water resources must be put. Congressional actions such as the Water Quality Act of 1967 are of value only to the extent that they are implemented locally. The water pollution hearings in Chicago are designed to encourage action programs and to stimulate the cooperation of the entire Midwest community , to renewed efforts in behalf of cleaner waters in the Lakes and streams and underground waters of our area. Time To Spare By GERALD ANDREWS - Retirement Adviser Senior Citizens and the Three R's Kver think of the days when you wer,e back at school? Sure, we all* do, [com time to time. It's nice to'reminisce about the boy at the next desk, or the girl with the long braids. Ilut judging from my experience, not many of us ever consider the fact that the three R's have a , real meaning at our age. Guess it's easy to forget when you're well along in life, and the schoolhouse seems a long way back in time. After all, \Ve don't have, classroom recitations anymore. We don't carry report cards home, hoping our parents won't look too closely at our< marks. Fact is, we now enjoy theluxurv of making out our own report c a r d s . A n d , i n my h u m b l e opinion, we should -- regularly. It's a good way of seeing how we stack up with ourselves, our families and our friends. So let's take a look at the three R's for senior citizens. Reading is one of our popular pastimes, but do we make the best use of it? Do we read good books as well as thrillers? Do we take in the serious news as well as the sports page? If you can answer "yes," that means you're improving your mind, besides having a senous word or two to contribute to serious discussions of national and local problems. Writing? What about last month's correspondence? Were those friendly letters and official notices answered on time? It's bad manners, and bad business, to let them remain on vour desk until you get around 'to them. After all, an envelope addressed to you, is like a question from somebody you're with. You wouldn't ignore a verbal question. You shouldn't ignore a written question. Arithmetic? There's your check book. Have you kept it balanced to date? The same thing goes for your budget. Putting off the mathematical calculations is a lazy man's habit, not to mention how costly it can be. How does your report card look? Can't say mine shows an "A" in each category. Hut I see signs of improvement, and I hope you do to. The three R's are still basic. ,r " "• February 14th Sweetheart Dinner LOB STEAK Dinner includes Lobster with drawn butter & Steak cooked as you like it, Your choice of potatoes, Select from 8 different Salads from the Salad Bar, Soup or Juice.
