Our ecology project began in June and until the present time we have collected over 13 tons of this waste commodity. We feel proud to have been able to help the people of the McHenry area dispose of their bottles in a meaningful way. Our final glass collection will be Oct. 19. Leave any you have in the barrel at the Masonic temple, 1309 North Court street, or call Lynn Tomlinson 385-0527 for pick-up. This has been a most in­ teresting and educational project for us. Glass engineers have found ways of reusing old bottles. The process is called recycling and it is an answer to glass pollution for our country. The glass that is collected is returned to Ball Glass factory, where the reprocessing takes place. The bottles are broken up, ground fine and melted into cjiHeL then remolded into useful items. All glass, no matter what size, shape or color may be reprocessed in this manner. The factory uses only the flint or clear glass but they accept colored glass and County, State Politics Topic Of Oct. 20 Seminar The third session in a five- week seminar on Practical Politics sponsored by McHenry County college and the League of Women Voters from Crystal Lake and Woodstock-McHenry, will be held Tuesday, Oct. 19, at 7:30 p.m. in Room D108 at the college.

Panel members will be Mrs. Alice Ihrig, state president of the League of Women's Voters of Dlinoois, who was appointed by the Governor to the State Study commission on the Con­ stitutional Convention; Thomas Huemann and Howprd Ruth from the county board of supervisors; Mrs. Linda Lindberg, representing her husband, Rep.

Until we worked with this project, we had little idea of how many bottles a family used in a week; we had no idea of how many bottles it might take to make a ton of glass and we had a limited understanding of how great a pollution problem glass might be to the McHenry community. We have learned much. Our work has made us very aware of the beauty in bottles. We have found among our sorting some very old bottles as well as some outstanding markings on bottles from other countries. In addition to this being a real work project, there have been educational benefits gained. The people of the McHenry area have been most helpful to us and we are appreciative. We are making our final glass collection Oct. 19. We are then turning this project over to the junior class of West cam­ pus. They will be able to handle the increasing volumes even better jhan we have because of their size. We fe^l certain that they will have the same en­ thusiasm for this job that we have tried to show. The officers of the junior class will soon be making announcements of' where the pick-up areas will be located. We hope that everyone will continue to save their glass and back the students working for ecology. Scribe CUTS PUBLIC AID Gov. Richard B.
