PHOTOGRAPHY BY GAYLORD Illinois drivers willing to donate their eyes, kidneys, and other organs of the body in the event of their accidental death will now find it a lot easier to do so. Small, vivid orange "organ donor" stickers for placement on the back of the driver's license, and official wallet size donor cards are now available at all driver service facilities throughout the state. Official permission for placing the stickers on licenses was granted by an amendment to the Illinois Vehicle code passed in August of last year. AH new driver licenses issued by the Secretary of State's office now carry this message: "If the use of an organ sticker is desired, put it on the upper right corner of the back of your license." The stickers and the donor cards have been provided by the Kidney Foundation of Illinois and the Illinois Eye bank, the two Illinois agencies most prominent in the medical area of organ donations. Of­ ficials of these two agencies confirm that thousands of lives are lost every year because there aren't enough donors of kidneys, and thousands more remain blind because there aren't enough donors of eyes for corneal transplants. But now each driver can signal his or her pledge to donate in two ways: (1) the sticker on the reverse side of the driver's license that would immediately alert authorities in the case of a serious ac­ cident, and (2) a "uniform donor card" for legal con­ firmation of the pledge, signed by the donor and two witnesses, that is always carried on the donor's person. The donor card offers several options to donors. They can restrict their donation to specific organs of the body, give their entire body for anatomical study, or indicate an unrestricted donation of needed organs or parts of the body. * * * * It's good business, even in family deals, to keep the record straight7.

JFrick, administrator of the •ASCS farm program agency, land Andrew W. Breidenback, DEPA's assistant administrator ;for Water and Hazardous •Materials Programs," Lucas {noted. * Included in the agreement jare steps for coordinating local •environmental and con­ servation efforts, exchanges of ^information, and guides for •establishing management •practices for any necessary Jwater pollution control. ; Lucas said that Section 208 of •the FWPCA is a top priority •program of EPA in which {states are required by Nov. 1, j 1978, to complete their plan- * ning The 21)8 program requires J abatement of non-point source Jwater pollution (reducing * storm water runoff), 'development of a control "program, and planning for ,• municipal and industrial waste «treatment facilities. » "The agreement will make ^available ASCS's many years £ of experience in administering '«agricultural conservation S programs and the agency's ? long-term working knowledge ^ of rural problems and needs," » Lucas said t "ASCS assistance with the * 208 program planning will J include providing aerial * photography, crop history data, ! soil surveys, river basin studies j and conservation cost sharing J for pollution control measures 2 affecting farm operators." " Lucas explained. ASCS's conservation ex­ pertise also will be used in two other top priority EPA programs covered by the agreement. One such program is under a section requiring effluent limitation permits, including a plan for compliance control of certain point source water pollution (end of pipe discharge) categories. The other priority program, Section 404, developed in cooperation with the Corps of engineers, requires permits for dredged and fill materials in navigable waters. Administrator Frick said: "Not only will ASCS assist in the water quality effort, but we'll also continue assurance of maintaining an efficient and productive agricultural system that provides all possible benefits to consumers and farmers." ^At\Q^ Inflation could be 4e^t~ down if everyone conserved fuel by putting up storm windows and doors and in­ stalling insulation. Each of these measures can cut heat­ ing bills by as much as 30 percent. * * * Inflation could be kept down if people bought light bulbs that save energy by being efficient. The most efficient bulbs are those that are white or frosted. VUIY BEST IN GERANIUMS BEDDING PLANTS VEGETABLE PLANTS| at Vtery Reasonable Prices Thompson's Flowers 214 RAFFEL RD.
