OF SCIENCE What's Happening To Waste? In a day when the United States generates more than 300 million tons of solid waste annually, new advances in waste technology may yield some exciting solutions to problems of waste manage­ ment--solutions which may turn trash into an asset. In New Orleans, La., an Illinois firm--Waste Manage­ ment, Inc.--is building a municipal facility, called Recovery /• Recovered mate­ rials--metals, glass, paper-- will be sold in pre-arranged markets, and non-recoverable material will be disposed of in sanitary landfill. Upon com­ pletion, once-useless marsh­ land will be suitable for industrial development. R E S O U R C E R E C O V E R Y - A potential new dimension in solid waste management and materials conservation.

" „ Gordon P. Tiemey of In­ verness, Palatine, has been appointed organizing president of the new chapter by Dr. Leslie A. Bryan, of Champaign, Illinois president of S.A.R. There are 985 members in the Illinois society, and ap­ proximately 20,000 nationally. Organized in 1890, S.A.R., is a non-sectarian, non-political, patriotic and educational organization, similar in pur­ poses and activities to the distaff organization, Daughters of the American Revolution. The initial step toward ac­ tivating the new S.A.R., chapter has been alerting all D.A.R., chapter regents and registrars that "we are open for business," Tiemey said. "Our new chapter -- ten­ tatively named the American In Pompano Beach, Fla., the same company has been awarded a contract to build and operate an experimental plant to process waste into methane gas. Under contract to the federal Energy Re­ search and Development Administration, the company will demonstrate using the gasification process to create fuel for heating and cooking. Whatever the technologies being employed, there is clearly a growing commit­ ment to upgrade waste man­ agement and find new ways of putting waste to work. Bicentennial chapter ~ will provide a home chapter' for S.A.R , members in this heavily populated area who are presently only members-at- large, without organized ac­ tivities such as the awarding of Constructive Citizenship medals to outstanding high school students, medals to R O.T.C., leaders in colleges, and, particularly this Bicen­ tennial year, participation in patriotic events in the cities, towns and neighborhoods of our suburbs." There are fifteen local chapters of the D.A.R., in the area to be served by the new American Bicentennial chapter. Tierney said, adding: "We anticipate a warm welcome from our sister organization.

LEE & RAY ELECTRIC 1005 N. Front (S. Rte. 31) McHeniy, III 385-0882 Speaking Of Disabled People Toward Vocational Independence (Bill Kiser, of Winston- Salem, North Carolina, authors a weekly syndicated newspaper column, a weekly radio program, and edits a newspaper for the North Carolina Rehabilitation association. This column is one of a series of twelve, which is being provided monthly to the newspaper by the President's Committee on Employment of the Handicapped.) As a teen-ager, I started thinking about what I might do to earn a living, even though I was severely handicapped with cerebral palsy. My search lasted until only recently, and at age 48.1 am now working out a solution to my vocational needs. For many years, I have heard the slogans, "Hire the handicapped, it's good business," or "Help the han­ dicapped help themselves." Despite these well-meant phrases, we severely han­ dicapped people know we cannot always compete in the regular job market, or sometimes even in sheltered employment. For severely disabled people, getting hired or "helping ourselves" often takes more ingenuity. Many were th^ impractical schemes I tried on the way to finding a realistic vocational niche. One rehabilitation counselor suggested that I learn to make coat hangers at home. I kept an open mind until I found the wire to be more expensive than the selling price of the finished hangers. One by one, I tried growing miniature trees, raising animals, opening a gift shop, and selling greeting cards and magazines. The greeting cards and magazines brought me a small profit, but since I never knew whether people bought my product for its sake, or for mine, the enterprise became an expensive one for my self respect. Friends and professionals suggested I try a sheltered workshop as an alternative. When I was evaluated by one of these facilitei$, they told me I did not have enough coor­ dination to meet their production quota. I had above average intelligence, but still they could not use me. Many times after such an interview, I would ask God to take away some of my mental ability in exchange for physical coor­ dination that would enable me to earn a living. Patience and perseverance through years of this kind of frustration has paid off for me. From my unrealistic goal of being an internationally famous journalist, I have developed an attainable goal: Finding a place of service in the new field of rehabilitation publications. I know the struggle for vocational independence is getting easier for others who are disabled. I am encouraged by the new opportunities opening for us, and by our improving self images. The Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1972 is making more jobs available to us. Common sense and ex­ perience tell lis that no law can insure full employment of handicapped people, but by requiring removal of ar­ chitectural and vocational barriers, the law does give us more chances to prove our­ selves as good employees. To prepare for these job opportunities, we must con­ tinue to strive for access to the best educational, vocational, and technical opportunities. Without such access, han­ dicapped people will not be able to qualify for jobs, and the law will lose its force. With opportunity comes responsibility. If we are to take advantage of opportunity in the business and professional world, we need to take the same kinds of responsibility for our actions as do all adults. Like other handicapped people, I have been affected by years of isolation from my peers. I still struggle to improve my relationships with other people, since I realize that it is not my physical condition, but my ability to relate to secretaries, board members, and the public which will determine my eventual success or failure in this world. From the level of Federal Law to State education programs to the level of in­ dividual personality, programs and attitudes are changing. With the combined strength of all these tools, severely disabled Americans are beginning to expect new em­ ployment opportunities, and new vocational independence. your week ahead BY DR. A.W.

Box 12766, St. Petersburg, Florida 33733. Nicotine comes from Jean Nico who introduced tobacco into France in 1560. Not only is bicycling a useful form of physical ex­ ercise, it can also be a fam­ ily outing equally enjoyable for both parents and children. However, parents must be cer­ tain their children are well- schooled in the basic rules of bike safety, warns Dr. Albert H. Domm, child safety special­ ist and former medical direc­ tor of the Prudential Insur­ ance Co. "The first thing to re­ member," says Dr. Domm, "is that the bicycle is a vehicle and not a toy. When a child is old enough to ride a bike out on the street, he should follow all ' the rules of t h e r o a d , Dr. Albert such as H. Domm riding with the flow of traffic, using hand signals when turning or stop­ ping and obeying traffic signs." M Dr. Domm urges parents to make sure their children's bicycles are kept in good con­ dition with the seat, handle­ bars and brakes properly ad­ justed. For night riding, good head and tail lights are a must, in addition to wheel reflectors, he says. He suggests bright clothes be worn for cycling after dark. Weaving, lane-hopping, rac­ ing and similar stunts are dan­ gerous and should be discour­ aged. "A straight line is not only the quickest way to ar­ rive at a destination, it is also the safest," asserts Dr. Domm. He urges those riding in groups to stay in single file on streets and highways. Finally, Dr. Domm warns parents to exercise extreme caution before permitting young children to pedal their bikes in the streets. He empha­ sizes that the youngster should be accompanied by an adult until he is able to safely^ operate a bike in traffic. % c Nylon KNOTTY CORD in 15 Exciting colors 10 lb bales of JUTE • in 3--4--5--6 ply CALCUTTA CORD 4 colors in stock now <aJ only $2" $1095 ea $4« ea ea BEAOS L arge Medium, Smal l (Al l large holes) COLORS; White, Walnut, Maple, Red, Green, and 6 others Large beads-4 for 39?
