» PAGE 12-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1971 Comments from the Governor your week ahead OR. A.W. DAMIS Forecast Period: November 21 • November 28 (The governor discwsscs the state's welfare crisis in the following special colnmn for Illinois newspapers.* R> (io>. Richard B. Of>il«ic Springfield. 111. I he deepen- ling welfare crisis- in Il l inois con ccr'n* us all. and it needs our most -ohiective consideration. We intend to proceed with our. program to reduce the cost of public, ak1. as we muM it \\c are to avoul across the hoard pant cuts for < i l l welfare recipients. No', court can order I lie state to raise taxes' or to put itselt into hankrupisV h\ spending mone\ for welfare which it, does not have. 1 his mattei • demonstrates that the financing of po\ernment is siniplv not a matter appropriate for determination in the courrs. The present emergent * calls for the utmost in cooperation and constructive leadership from officials at all levels of government. It requires recognition h\ all concerned that this issue is tai too important to allow misinfor­ mation to c I o u d the essential issues. The state is not calling for grant cuts atlecting the blind, the disabled, the aged, or families with dependent chil­ dren. I n fact. I ordered that no cuts he made in these categories, which include moie than KOO.OOO wel- Ia ie lecipients in I l l inois. I he re- iluction in I u n d s proposed toi general assistance was made pre­ cisely because it avoided across- the-board cuts, and took the most humane approach rJkx-the welfare c r i s i s . It is irresponsible for anvone to mislead and .alarm the hundreds of thousands of recipients who are not affected bv the state's action. It is a misrepresentation to assert that the state cut all general assistance grants h\ 6(1 per cent. I reaimmended a different ap- proaclr. calling for. the transfer of welfate recipients to federally-sup ported assistance programs, public service jobs in city, county and state government, and elimination of .i l l ineligible persons from the Kills. I his a p p i o a c h would have avoided grant cms for the ma- )oi it v of pet sops on general assist­ ance m (. hicago. Initially.-('ook County officials* 'cooperated m this program. Hut t;i let J h e y abandoned planning they had undertaken to make re­ ductions bear most heavily on single employable individuals --T those best able to absorb reduc­ tions. I hey announced instead a Mi per cent grant cut for every­ body . This was done without state approval and in violation of the slate Department of I'uh- lic Aid. I he state's reductions do not discriminate against ( hicago or t ook C onnty by vii it ie of the fact that *'2 per cent of the stale's g.-neial assistance funds have been going into t hicago. This burden -- more than $100 million a year -- has been hornc by taxpayers throughout Illinois. rn^al officials in Cook County continue to have other construc­ tive alternatives in place of (heir 60 per cent grant cuts. The alter­ n a t i v e s i n c l u d e d s e v e n m a j o r possibilities: -- Active cooperation in trans­ ferring general assistance recipients, to other categories which are financed in part by the federal government. Utilization of the $12 million emergency employment grant to Chicago' anil Cook County for as many as 2,500 jobs for employ­ a b l e p e r s o n s n o w o n g e n e r a l assistance. -- I 'se of the new home rule financing powers granted by the 1*>70 constitution. - Referral of employable per­ sons to the stale for placement in the state's public service job pro­ grams. a step which requires co­ operative, informed action by the t ook C ounty Department of Pub­ lic Aid. Removing the thousands of ineligible recipients from the C'ook C o u n t y g e n e r a l a s s i s t a n c e r o l l s and eliminating waste and ineffi­ ciency in the administration of the ^general assistance program. Cook County's leading offi­ cials have now indicated again that they will seek to co­ operate in these goals in ac­ tions independent of any court matters. together. we can solve the crisis we face. In fact, we must. From The Farm MOTHERS OF TWINS WANTED The Animal Science Department is interested in obtaining beef or dairy cows that have had more than one set of twins.

CONSERVATION PRACTICES Illinois farmers spent $10 million of their own money in 1970 to apply soil and water conservation practices which not only protect their land, but also reduce pollution of the environment for all of us. Practices such as conservation tillage, contour farming, parallel terraces, winter cover crops, grassed waterways, improved pasture and woodland management, ponds, tree windbreaks, and development of wildlife habitat are a part of all soil and water c o n s e r v a t i o n d i s t r i c t programs. VEHICLE EMBLEM The SMV - or Slow Moving Vehicle - emblem is designed for display on the rear of all farm equipment that moves at 25 miles per hour or less. This emblem is required by law to be mounted on farm machinery when operated by an employee on a public road. Penalties of up to $10,000 can be assessed for violations. BALANCE OF TRADE The balance of trade problem would be a lot worse if it were not for our efficient agriculture. While the U.S. trade deficit was $674 million at the end of July 1971, U.S. farm exports exceeded farm imports by $989 million. WINTER RATION A 1.000 pound bred cow requires about nine-tenths of a pound of crude protein and seven and one-half pounds of digestible nutrients daily during the winter These requirements can be supplied by a 40-pound corn silage, one pound soybean meal ration GOOD MANNERS Rude hunters - those who threaten to destroy good lan­ downer-sportsmen relation­ ships for everyone -- must be neutralized by the real out- doorsmen to insure hunting and fishing The age-old ritual of hunting and the property rights of modern civilization needn't clash when hunters seek private property to pursue their sport. Good manners will avoid a lot of problems. Real sportsmen don't have to be reminded of good manners; however, there are some un­ scrupulous hunters who refuse to accept the legal and social responsibilities that go along with the license to hunt. Good hunters njust guard against ill-mannered hunters who shoot more than the limit, and damage private property.

WRAP YOUNG TREES To protect newly planted trees from winter injury, wrap them with forty-pound kraft paper, or any tough, crepe-type asphalt-impregnated paper. Wrap the paper around the tree from the lower branch to the ground. The paper provides protection from freezing and thawing damage in the winter and also against borers next summer. GUN HANDLING SAFETY Teach each member of your family safe gun-handling procedures and respect for firearms. Even if you don't own a gun, your children may find one away from home. If they have had proper training in the care and use of firearms, the chances of an accident are greatly reduced.

Pull the throttle on romance! According to your chart, you are heading for an explosive situa­ tion in the next few days. Indiscretions show in the dark corner of your chart.. Someone is going to pin you down with the story of their life. The point? Their depressive attitude could become highly contagious. Your sympathy could shift to frustration. So, lend a hand - but don't become emotionally involved. It seems as though you will be hiding a disap­ pointment. Your greatest concern, however, will be your health. So, watch your diet, your rest, and your attitude toward those who sur­ round you. You are entering the peculiar cycle of letting the past intrude into the future. Ironically, many under your sign will be looking back in­ stead of ahead In other words, see to it that your energy is not wasted on re-hash. The planets, Venus and Mars will add fuel to the flame of love. Take care! It's highly prob­ able that a number of the opposite sex will hit you as a fist. Disturbing rumors are heading your way. These bits of gossip are mixtures of fact and fiction. The secret lies in your not attempting to filter fact from fancy. Instead, continue with your routine as though behind the scene discussions do not exist. According to existing stellar patterns, you are over-sensitive toward remarks that might come from a relative or an associate. Avoid caustic counter remarks; otherwise, permanent damage is possible. Please try to understand the emotional attach­ ment - it's always based on romance. It's pos­ sible that you might misread the intentions held by a member of the opposite sex. OK, Capricorn' It seems as though you are go­ ing to duplicate an error. What? You are going to tell a member of the opposite sex, one thing; think another; then, do something entirely different. Look for a shoulder to lean on - you need help this week. So, recruit allies; form alliances. Your sign, according to star patterns, is due for open confrontations. You're inclined to become involved in petty differences. You might also be falsely burdened with the thought a friend is attempting to ex­ ploit you.
