McClure, Jr., was elected president of the Nor­ theastern Illinois Planning commission (NIPC) at the commission's regular meeting last week. Waldemar A. Rakow of the Kane County board was elected vice-president, Lewis W. Hill, commissioner of the Chicago Department of Development and Planning, was elected treasurer. Doris B. Holleb of the University of Chicago was reelected secretary. Terms of officers are for one year. The commission conducts research, prepares com­ prehensive plans, and advises local governments in the region of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will counties. Established by the Illinois General Assembly in 1957, the commission annually reviews local applications for more than $1 billion in federal grants. A recent concentrated project by employees in all departments of the Secretary of State's office in Springfield likely will result in the majority of 1976 reassignment license plates being mailed before the Dec. 1 legal display date. Secretary of State Michael J. Howlett said that a task force of 100 employees from divisions throughout the office was assigned to assist the Motor Vehicles department in processing a heavy volume of reassignment applications before the Sept. 30 deadline. "Applications were arriving in truck loads," said Howlett. "By temporarily diverting employees from their regular work wherever possible to assist in opening the mail and preparing applications for processing, we eliminated a major bottleneck." This time-saving step cleared the way for prompter handling of required processing of auditing, validating and data processing before mailing pistes. Howlett said that 350,000 reassignment plates had been mailed as of this week out of a projected 900,000 applications. "We estimate that a record number of around 250,000 special requests, mailed before the Sept. 30 deadline, will be processed for next year's Bicentennial plates." Over ,the counter 1976 passenger plate sales will of­ ficially start Dec. 1 at currency exchanges and almost 400 participating banks throughout the state. In addition, they will be available at the three Secretary of State Motor Vehicle facilities in Chicago and at both the Centennial building and Dirksen Parkway facility drive-in window in Springfield.

Eyes May Be Harmed Through Aersol Spray Use The effect of aerosol sprays on the ozone layer is still being debated by scientists, but one thing is certain, according to the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness. The eyes are extremely vulnerable to high velocity sprays of disinfectants, hair sprays, deodorants, paints, perfumes, cleaners, and insecticides. "In spraying, the eyes are open and exposed to the potent chemicals that may destroy sensitive tissue," says Edgar T. Britton, the society's executive director. "Tiny particles which are emitted from the can at a rapid speed, can become embedded in the cornea, the transparent covering of the eye." To protect your eyes, Britton suggests, avoid holding the aerosol container at eye level, as the spray may be directed inadvertently toward the eye. Special caution must be taken when using sprays out-of-doors. An unexpected gust of wind can blow the spray particles directly into your eyes. ; Contact lens wearers are likely to notice these particles most easily and painfully because the lens rubs over the trapped particles causing irritation. Deeply embedded particles could cause per­ manent opacity in the .^grnea. While aerosol products are convenient, the society warns that they should be used with care. The hazards to your eyes, Britton says-, are more im­ mediate than potential hazards to the ozone. Mara Jones With Rlpon Wind Ensemble Mara Jones, a Ripon college freshman from McHenry, is a member of the Ripon college symphonic wind ensemble.

SHORELINE WAVES The Shoreline club is working very hard for the bazaar, and sometimes we all feel we don't have enough hands to finish everything by Nov. 21. If you just have a little free time, we would appreciate your help, especially since we know how many of you could use the knowledge you gain for something else, like unusual gifts for your family and friends. You don't have to have any special talents if that's what you're worried abbut. Some of us used to have two left hands with thumbs instead of fingers, and you should look at us now! Furthermore, we are still looking for fabric scraps, yarn, cork, wood etc. If you have any of these items lying around your house uselessly, please call Linda Luersson (385-1547) or any other club member that you know. POLICE NEWS There seems to be some confusion on a few points of police procedure and I would like to clarify some of it. If you have a .complaint about anybody, a police officer will check out your complaint, whether you give your name or not. In the case of a dog barking, the case will-be in­ vestigated. But if you want your neighbor with the noisy dog to receive .an official warning, you have to put yottr name and address on the complaint form. I am in­ debted to Earl Buck for the explanation of this, on which I was not too clear. As a matter of fact, we should all know as much as we can about the police department and how it works. After all, these guys are doing their terrific job for all of us. Keep up the good work, fellows! LAWSON DAVIS RITE Janice, the daughter of Vic and Alice Lawson, became the bride of Mr. Robert Davis, Jr., SepL 20 in a lovely ceremony at Shejiherd of the Hills Lutheran churcfi. Two of the bridesmaids were the bride's sister-in-law, Chris Lawson, and the groom's sister, Sheryl Davis. The best man was the groom's brother, Dave Davis (who, as I un­ derstand, in the meantime took the big step, too. I didn't realize that particular virus was catching, did you?) and one of the groomsmen was Walter Lawson, the brother of the bride. The young couple make their home in McHenry. All our best wishes to you, Janice and Robert! , BIRTHDAYS Today is Fred Bush's bir­ thday; Kurt Pogor's is Sunday, Oct? 26; Julie Tibbs will be 14 Oct. 27; and Morris Crouch will celebrate his birthday Oct. 30.
