During _ J* 1 ° ,.U S , lOW-COSt housing, health For many years, a small but vocal minority has been concerned about a national lack of understanding of economics. In very recent times, another small but vocal minority has been urging the nation to turn its back on technology. One of the hopes for 1972 -- in fact, one of the necessities -- is that more and more people, concerned as they are about the quality of life, will come to realize that only through technological advance can we hope to achieve economic and social progress. It is not mere coincidence that our recent alarm over a declining economic situation has occurred in virtually the same time frame as a decline in our national support of technology. The United States is committed to inventing things first, to improving existing products first, to making things better than anyone else. It exports a host of advanced technology products because it has depended heavily on being first with ever newer and better technology. However, our standard of living and attendant labor and materiel costs have made technology a more necessary economic tool than ever. It we "opt out" of technology our standard of living will deteriorate and there will be even less money derived through taxes on the economy to pay for all of the socio-economic programs so important Births MCHENRY HOSPITAL Mr. and Mrs. Lance Nega, McHenry, became parents of a daughter, April 12.

In Ill inois hunters paid more than $1.7 million in 1970 to the Department of Con servation for licenses and permits. In addition, the Pittman-Robert- s o n F e d e r a l A i d t o W i l d l i f e Restoration Act (1937) provides an 11 per cent excise tax on sport ing arms and ammunition, with the proceeds going to each of the 50 states for wildlife restoration. This Act accounts for approxi mately $30 million each year, of which Illinois received over $600,000 in 1970. "The money received by our de partment helps all wildlife, not just of George Washington.

Today it no longer is possible to base national economic policies almost solely on the needs and capabilities of our domestic economy. We are learning the hard way that we are but one element in the dynamic structure of a world economy. In his economic messages last fall President Nixon stressed three areas: Immediate economic problems, such as the control of wages and prices. The importance of remaining competitive in the world market place. The need for government action to stimulate technological advance, both to improve the nation's productivity and to keep the U.S. competitive in the world's markets farther into the future. The last is the most crucial point. H a p p i l y t h e r e a r e a f e w s i g n s indicating growing recognition of the vital importance of both basic and applied research and development to our overall national well being. As a nation we are beginning to realize that only through technological advance can we hope to achieve con tinued economic and social progress. We are beginning to realize the mag nitude of the threat that foreign competition is posing to our economy. We are beginning to realize that the realities of the 70s may force changes in the historic relationship between government and industry in our free enterprise system. We are beginning to realize that the solution to many of the problems confronting the nation will r e q u i r e n e w f o r m s o f g o v e r n ment/industry cooperation in the fields o f r e s e a r c h , d e v e l o p m e n t a n d production. If this reorientation process gathers force and speed the future will be brighter for the United States because an intelligent combination of national policy, resources and industrial know-how can keep us competitive in the new economic world that is evolving. Where capital growth occurs, where research and development are nour ished, where the oneness of a world market place is recognized, and where innovative formulae are introduced for government/industry cooperation, that is where the new prosperity will take place. Such economic factors are no res pecters of history or geography. They will produce their result wherever they come together most successfully.

These two misions provided a bonanza of scientific in formation, including the re-i turn to scientists of about 120 kilograms (264 pounds)* of lunar rock. One rock was estimated to be about four billion years old. Descartes, in the central lunar highlands, was chosen as the landing site for Apollo 16, slated for launch March 17, 1972. The crew was chosen for Apollo 17, scheduled for launch in December 1972. Eugene A. Cernan, Ronald E. Evans, and Harrison H. (Jack) Schmitt will be aboard. flans moved forward on the space shuttle and Skylab. The space shuttle is a reus able space vehicle and is seen as the key to future space missions. Skylab will be the United States initial space station in Earth orbit during 1973. Mariner 9 was injected in to Mars orbit Nov. 13, and began taking pictures a few hours later. These were of the South Pole and other features, including a dust storm which obscured the planet. Orbiting Solar Observatory 7 was launched and problems encountered with its orbit and tumbling motion were solved by commands from the ground. It returned the first X-ray pictures of the beginning of a solar flare. Explorer 42 revealed a new pulsating X-ray star quite unlike the one other known X-ray pulsar. Amino acids (building blocks for living cells) were found in a second meteorite, strengthening the case of chemical evolution of life elsewhere in the universe. During the summer, NA SA, with the Department of Agriculture, conducted a joint experiment using re mote sensing devices to gath er information on Southern corn leaf blight from aircraft flying over the midwest. Aircraft noise abatement was set as a high priority goal in aeronautical research. Shakedown flights were made for a new airfoil, the super critical wing. It should allow aircraft of the future to travel farther on less fuel. SPORTS FANS!
