School Science Club In New, Exciting Year SCOTT FREUND Scott Freund. eighth grader at Big Hollow school in Ingleside. this year heads the school's oldest club. In June, just prior to summer recess. Scott took his oath of office and became the school's eighth Science club president. Scott is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Freund of 801 West Route 134, McHenry. In September, the Science club opened its current term with an exciting program from the Berry Diving school in Winnetka. This has been followed by programs on "The Laser" and a special program featuring State Senator Jack Schaffer of Cary. Last week, President Freund confirmed reports that the club, with the help of its sponsor, Science Teacher Dick Meyers and the Big Hollow P.T.A., had arranged for well known hypnotist and E S.P. expert, Joan Walker, to present a special program to the students of Big hollow school. "Hypnosis and E.S.P. are ex citing areas for students, to investigate, and most of the students are looking forward to Miss Walker's visit". Freund said. Miss Walker's program is scheduled for Feb. 4. Later this month, if no complications arise, the Big Hollow students will be visited by Illinois State Comptroller George Lindberg of Crystal Lake. In December, a film about "Pennecamp Un derwater State Park" located in the Florida Keys will be shown the club's membership. Many students who will be par ticipating in this years "Project Seacamp" program will no doubt have a special interest in this. State Rep. Donald E. Deuster of Mundelein is scheduled to visit the school Jan. 7. Freund said that he -and Science Teacher Dick Meyers were working on the first annual Camping and Sport show scheduled Feb. 18. Serving with Scott this year is Vice-President Donna Dahlman and Secretary Chris Uphoff. These officers recently joined their Science teacher for a Science open house Oct 25 as part of the school's observance of American Education week.

MOSQUITO CONTROL "Editor: "McHenry never had it so enjoyable as the past summer. Incidentally, the Defenders don't know what happiness was brought to the young and old to be able to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. "What a pleasure to work in the garden, to enjoy our patios, porches, barbecues, etc. Children played outdoors without mosquitoes pestering them, with no need to be sprayed with insect repellents. Neighbors enjoyed talking to neighbors outdoors without dodging mosquitoes. "The mosquito control program was great. It was a job well done. For a population of 7,680 at a cost of $8,000, figure it out per person. It was money well spent. Letter from Washington by Senator Charles H. Percy No piece of legislation con sidered by the 93rd Congress > is more important than the bill that would reform the C o n g r e s s i o n a l b u d g e t a r y process As ranking Republican on the Government Operations Committee, I know the work that has been done on this bill As principal co-sponsor ofyhe bill, I know the impor tance of its becoming law: This is the most significant legislation I have worked on since entering the Senate. Three major political and economic forces now make it possible for the first time in a generation to enact much needed Congressional budget ary reforms. P'irst, we are in a period of critical economic instability marked by spiraling inflation. This has been caused in part by runaway federal spending inspired by Congress.

"Mrs. Arthur Boger" I THINK ABOUT IT! 1 By BOB JUSTEN Veteran's Day is naturally a day of nostalgia for those who bore the brunt of battle . . .Thoughts of in fantry mobility artillery range, paratroop landings, strategic targets missed or hit, front lines, trenches, fox holes, jungle trails, wounded pals, dead buddies - all these and other languishing thoughts persist. For all of us, Veteran's Day causes us to think about - and honor - the millions who donned a uniform and served their country with pride and distinction. We think of those who faced enemy bullets and those who may yet have to face armed antagonists in an unpredictable future. We think of those who died in faraway lands - and those who may yet die in com bat so that others may live in peace. Veteran's Day is also a day of hope. Ahope that some day boys of 19 will no longer have to fight the biggest fight of their lives - their fight to stay alive to reach an older age. . .GEORGER. JUSTEN FUNERAL HOME - 3519 W. Elm Street, McHenry, Illinois. Phone 385-2400 Congress and the President have been at odds over spend ing priorities, resulting in ex ecutive impoundment of ap propriated funds. And third, there is a growing interest in restoring Congress' role as a co-equal branch of govern ment in the area of determin ing fiscal policy and respond ing to national economic needs. Work on Congressional budgetary reform began last October when Ccngress cre ated a Joint Study Committee on Budget Control. The Com mittee made recommenda tions to the Government Operations Committee which developed the legislation for consideration by the entire Congress. The Joint Committee effec tively identified the failings of our present budget system. It detailed the degree of chaos we face in spending the pub lic's money. Congress has no timetable to deal with budget needs. There is no committee structure to adequately deter- mine needs and resources. There are no spending ceil ings or priorities. There is no decision-making process to react to changing economic trends. Since April we have been working on a system to cor rect these deficiencies. The result is a bill that would pro vide direction in national spending. The first step in providing sensible management of na tional spending would be the creation of a new timetable requiring decisions on fiscal policy by April 15. Decisions would be made by new House and Senate Budget Commit tees after extensive study and assistance by a new Congres sional Office of the Budget. Critical to the success of budget reform is the creation "^of a new organization to han dle budget policy. Specifically, we will form budget commit tees in the House and Senate and give them responsibility for producing budget resolu tions and controlling "back door" spending. These Com mittees will be supported by the Congressional Office of the Girls Ahead Of Boys In Color Vision Awareness Boys are far more likely to have color vision deficiencies than are girls, according to the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness. Citing surveys published by the National Center for Health Statistics, the society estimates that 900,OOOl youngsters, or 3.8 per cent of children between the ages of 6 and 11, have color vision deficiencies. Boys are more than twelve times as likely as girls to have problems in seeing colors. The survey shows that 6.95 per cent of boys show an evidence of color vision deficiencies, while only .53 per cent of girls are affected by this handicap. Similarly, white boys are significantly more affected by Budget, which will provide staff support needed to com pete with the Executive's 700- man Office of Management and Budget. Another crucial element of reform is the setting of an absolute spending ceiling each year. Through a concurrent resolution of Congress, a ceil ing will be set on both total outlays and total new budget authority. No appropriations bills can be adopted until the c o n c u r r e n t r e s o l u t i o n i s adopted. For the first time, Congress will develop its own system for making judgments about the fiscal policy needs of the country. Members of Con gress will consider economic changes and the health of the economy as they consider spending proposals. They will determine how much, if any, budget deficit is tolerable. Congress also will debate spending priorities for the first time in a logical and rea soned manner. This will occur each year in debate on the concurrent resolution on the budget. The resolution will contain a breakdown on spending for major programs as well as a ceiling for overall spending. It has been over 50 years since Congress last made changes in its budget process. We must act now to approve a system that will help sta bilize our economy, put Con gress on an equal footing with the Executive in determining spending priorities and reas sert the role of Congress in exercising the power of the purse. color seeing problems than are non-white boys. fted-green color weakness ,is the most common among American children, the surveys found. While 6.88 percent of all boys in this age group have red- green seeing defects, only .36 percent have blue-yellow deficiencies. Only .18 percent of girls have blue-yellow vision deficiencies, while .53 percent of the girls surveyed show defects in seeing and distinguishing colors, in the red- green range. \ A child, the society points out, needs a color discrimination test at least once during his or her school career, and the findings from this test should be available to parents as well as kept on file by the school. Many jobs, the Society adds, require a high degree of color discrimination, and it would help any job hunting student to know his c o l o r d i s t i n g u i s h i n g capabilities in advance.
