Call for particulars several available, with 1-2-3- Year leases Youth In Clean-Up Campaign It's a big load - even excluding the students. Members of the West assortment of cans, paper, bottles and plastic collected on one mile campus Environmental Science class proudly view the vast (rf BuI1 Valley road. Homeward bound, the truck filled with students stops behind a school bus. The young people were tired but happy in the Students from Robert Ludwigsen's Environmental Science class of West campus have directed their efforts to a can recycling program. The cans are collected each day before the morning home room. Students received helpful information from the McHenry County Defenders and were then asked to do a mile survey. , frwenty volunteers set out and cleaned up ttye litter along one mile of Bull Valley road. Teams were divided into categories of those who were to collect cans, paper, bottles, and plastic. The litter collected was brought back to West campus and weighed. The team ended up with 83 pounds of cans, 65 pounds of glass, 41 pounds of paper, and 29 pounds of plastic. The students claim to have found everything from cowboy boots to car batteries! The cans and paper were put into the recycling projects of the school and the glass will be brought to the Market Place, where the McHenry County Defenders have a collection every third Saturday of the month. The students feel that the problem of the third pollution, as President Nixon has termed it, is becoming greater. Some of the key factors that have led to the increase of solid waste are population growth, affluence and technology. Everyday about 5V2 pounds of waste is thrown out which adds up to 400 billion pounds per year. Each year the public discards approximately 55 billion cans, 26 billion bottles, 60 billion pounds of plastic, 30 million tons of paper, 7 million tons of cars, 100 million tons of tires. This is only the residential waste which amounts to 6 percent of the total problem. Things were different in the United States about 1800 when this saying was popular: Eat it up! Wear it out! Make it do! Do without! Today people have more money to spend and more ways to spend it. The public pays for the new, better, improved idea that will only wear out as another new, better and improved idea comes along. Many more disposable products are on the market and most of them are plastic or glass. These products are the hardest to dispose of because they are not organic. , Because of mass production, there are more products, not to mention the excess packaging on most of these products. The new products, for example -- plastics, synthetics, nylon and dacron--are designed for convenience and again easy disposal. Manufacturers won't accept the responsibility for disposal cost. The public pays for packaging but the disposal cost is not part of the price. Each home throws out 60 percent paper, 9 percent glass, 8 percent metal, 6 percent cloth and plastic, 9 percent food and 10 percent wood and lawn waste. The disposal costs are then paid by sbciety as part of their ta*es and fees for cleaning up the polluted environment. The biggest advancement made in taking care of solid waste is to replace the horse and put ah engine in collecting trucks. NOw it is possible to pick up more garbage in less time. The problem with this is that everything is compacted and taken to be burned or to dumps. The materials need to be separated and taken to recycling centers. The transporting of these materials is costly but the value now and for the future generation is high. Using wastes as fuel is a new concept in solid waste management. The Combustion Power company of Palo Alto, Calif., has developed the CPU- 400. The CPU-400 is a type of incinerator which burns solid wastes at high pressures, producing hot gases which power a turbine, which in turn drives an electric generator. Domestic wastes have about one-third the heating value of a good coal. Municipal waste materials are allowed to react chemically and are finally converted into a soil-like or peat-like substance. Metals, glass and other inorganic materials must be removed first. Every home produces waste that can be composted. Later, the compost material can be used as fertilizer in gardens and flower beds. It is estimated that 9 million automobiles are retired from service each year in the United States alone. This is one of the toughest problems. In 1970, President Nixon asked the Council of Environmental Quality to recommend a system of bounty payments to promote scrapping of all junk automobiles. Most of the systems considered by the Council would be financed by a tax on the sale of all automobiles sold in the future, or by a collection of a fee from all present owners and future buyers. The only long range solution, it appears, lies in a complete change of attitude toward the environment. Government, industry, consumers, and the general public working together can carry out these proposed solutions. Robert Ludwigsen and his students realize that conquering the land is not the answer. The answer lies in establishing a wholesome, ecologically sound relationship with it. Newspapers; Magazines 9 A.M. - 5 P.M.

The announcement was made by Dean A. Olson, Sr., council president. "There have been several changes in our geographical area over the years", said Olson "but we now serve nine counties in northern Illinois and three in southwestern Wisconsin and we are bigger and better than ever! Our membership has grown to over 24,000 boys, young people and adult volunteers". Dan Ferguson, Scout executive board member, is chairman of the event. One of the highlights of the afternoon will be the presentation of Silver Beaver awards to eight men and Silver Fawn awards to two women volunteer leaders. The awards are the highest honor a local council may bestow upon volunteer leaders for service to youth. Keynote speaker for the celebration will be Wm. F. Dunkle, Jr., senior minister of.

Trinity church is amonk the leading congregations of the Northern Illinois conference of the United Methodist church.
