PAGE10-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1972 W McCLORY REPORTS From Washington It seems generally to be conceded that a complete answer to water, air and solid waste pollution can be achieved only by recycling. Despite the greatly expanded interest in recycling, the results today have been quite discouraging. According to Russell E. Train, chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality, the percentage of recycled materials in new production has decreased notwithstanding that the absolute quantities of materials recycled may have increased. While some 190 million tons of major metals, paper, glass.it rubber, and textiles are con­ sumed in the U.S. each year, all but about one-fourth come from virgin resources. Indeed, most of the recovered metals are derived from the original discards at the time products are manufactured. A relatively small amount results from local voluntary recycling projects. The principal obstacle to any expanded recycling program is the substantially greater cost which recycling imposes. In steel production, for example, it costs more than twice as much to ship a ton of scrap metal as it does to ship a ton of iron ore. Even the cost of t r a n s p o r t i n g j u n k e d automobiles is frequently so expensive that there is only a limited demand for recycling these skeletons from the un­ sightly automobile graveyards. A major advantage for employing virgin resources is the favorable depletion and depreciation allowances available under existing tax laws with respect to minerals, timber, and some other resources. No comparable tax advantages are available where recycled materials are used. Under the provisions of a bill introduced recently by Congresswoman Martha Griffiths and this member of Congress (H.R. 16582)) as well as some forty other co- sponsors, a tax deduction would be granted in the case of all recycled waste materials which are processed into usable products. Such tax deduction would apply to metal scrap, waste paper, rubber, glass, textiles, and other solid waste materials resulting from in­ dustrial, commercial or agricultural operations. It is estimated that this legislation would generate a 100 percent increase in the estimated 50 million tons of recycled materials which are presently employed by American industry. In presenting this tax deduction program, Congresswoman Griffiths contends that the possible loss in tax revenues would be more than offset by the substantial gain in our conservation of natural resources. Another obvious benefit would be the reduced cost of collecting and disposing of solid wastes which are now- buried or burned, or left to stand as shocking eyesores on the ever-decreasing areas of open lands. As outlined by Congresswoman Griffiths, the purpose of this legislation "is to cause manufacturers .. to switch to the greatest feasible degree to the use of solid waste materials in lieu of the virgin material". She concludes: "Every day we fail to pass this necessary, remedial tax legislation, vast quantities of solid waste which should and could be recycled are con­ tinuing to plague us throughout' the nation." The legislation proposed by Congresswoman Griffiths and bv this member and our co- sponsors could provide a substantial impetus to programs of recycling. Eventually, in order to ef­ fectively conserve the human environment, it will be necessary to - recycle everything from air to -- garbage. Laziness explains more failures than ignorance, but the combination is catastro­ phic. Name Illinois For ASC5 Loan Certification According to John Finch, county executive director of the McHenry County ASCS Office. Illinois and Kansas have been selected as pilot states for handling the. farm stored commodity loan program on a certification of quantity basis. Previously, a producer applied to the county office for a price support commodity loan on his farm stored corn, wheat, soybeans or other eligible commodity and the office sent a loan inspector to the farm to measure the quantity. Under the pilot program, the producer will certify the quantity of eligible grain in store in each bin or crib and the loan will be prepared on the producer's certification. Spot- checks will be made on the certification loans. In those cases where the producer does not wish to certify the quantity, a measurement service will be available. The certification program should simplify the making of price support commodity loans and speed up loan making. Mr. Finch also pointed out that producers of eligible commodities should seriously consider placing their grain under loan. This provides low interest rate' money for meeting current crop income needs and helps to avoid the depressed market which often occurs at harvesttime. Also, the loan rate provides a price guarantee. For example, the 1972 corn loan irate for McHenry county is $1.09 per bushel. The best advice for mod­ ern young people facing all sorts of propaganda is the single, simple word: Think. Here.

A.W. DAMIS Forecast Period: October 1 to October 8, 1972 Changes and events for which you should have prepared, now reach a critical stage. Resist the urge to postpone obligations. Commitments that you neglect now . . . are loaded with delayed reversals. Planetary configurations put special emphasis on your health. Many under your sign can anti­ cipate chronic health problem flair up . . . if, diet and rest are neglected. Steer clear of bizarre and far out groups or social gatherings. A clandestine relationship that leads to incalculable consequences is indi­ cated for some persons of your sign. According to your chart, it's advisable that you recruit friends and allies. It seems as though you will need support, in order to defend your­ self against an unforeseen event or situation. Avoid, if possible, a change of routine or pro­ jects. In other words, any attempt to undertake new ventures could result in failure. Incident­ ally, the same applies to your romance pattern. This week's cosmic cycle puts emphasis on social activities. It seems as though some Virgos can do no wrong when it comes to getting along with the opposite sex. You have now entered a phase of being in­ volved in minor crises. Your associates, now, regard you as being a walking contradiction. Control the urge to make radical and peculiar changes, to put it mildly. This cosmic cycle brings out your assertiveness. So, your opinions and your manners of expres­ sion can exert great influence on associates and a member of the opposite sex. In spite of a tendency, on your part, to romp and frolic . . . associates and persons in author­ ity are ready to give you a break. A scramble for a task, mission or project is indicated. Tack with the wind, as does the poli­ tician: If vou can't get the whole -- settle for ' half. It seems as though you are going to hurt some­ one's feelings; someone who simply cannot afford to become angry. The point? A person now in a subservient position might plan a re­ prisal. Don't misread the unusual cooperation that might exist between you and a feuding associ­ ate. Stellar patterns warn against 'cat and mouse" trickery.
