Wildlife Week Theme « « We Need Clean Water" Sunnyside Area Betty Messer 344-2494 MCC Students Travel To March For Unity SECTION 2 - PAGE 1 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23,1977 N WATER NATION At WILDLIFE WZW - MW€M IQ-M 1977 A female brown bear and her cubs stand in a rushing stream, symbolizing the theme for National Wildlife week 1977: "We All Need Clean Water." The National Wildlife federation marks its fortieth annual sponsorship of National Wildlife week from March 20-26. Every day's headlines tell why the National Wildlife Federation chose the theme "We All Need Clean Water" for the fortieth annual observance of National Wildlife week, March 20 through 26. More than ten million Americans are expected to participate in the week's activities under the chairmanship of actor- environmentalist Robert Bedford. £ Water pollution comes from two basic sources--"point" sources, or sewage and wastes from municipalities and in­ dustries, and "nonpoint" or runoff from the land's surface. Point source pollution in­ cludes oil, metal, acids, toxic chemicals from mines and factories, and human waste. Nonpoint sources include runoff from agricultural lands (containing animal wastes, fertilizer, and pesticides), dumps, and silt. The EPA in February estimated that the total cost of cleaning up both the point and nonpoint pollution of the nation's waters would be $150 billion. The NWF, with 3.5 million members and supporters in all fifty states, has mailed out seven million stickers, 700,000 posters, and 189,000 teachers' information kits stressing the importance of clean water to all living creatures. The kits suggest a number of Wildlife Week projects for schools and conservation groups, such as tracing the sources of water supplies and water pollution Chocolate Sauce One of the easiest chocolate sauces is made by melting a 6-ounce package of semi-sweet chocolate chips over very low heat with three-fourths of a cup of whipping cream Stir in one teaspoon of vanilla, if desired. Chopped, salted peanuts may also be added to this sauce. Serve warm. Spring Fling Heralds Season In Johnsburg March winds and kites flying high announce the coming of spring.

I More than twenty-five McHenry County college students went to Springfield recently to join a march for unity on the state capitol. The students are veterans who want the state to continue the Illinois military scholarship program which pays college tuition for veterans who return to the state after completing their military service. The march is sponsored by the Illinois Veterans congress, an organization of college veterans from across the state. It brought together student veterans from around Illinois as well as representatives of the major veterans organizations, the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The march on the east side of the capitol gave the veterans a chance to explain their views on the scholarship to state senators and state represen­ tatives who will be considering funding for the scholarship soon, according to Howard Miller, president of the veterans congress and MCC veterans coordinator. Miller said that in addition to showing support for continuing the military scholarship program as it is now ad­ ministered, the assembly of veterans at the capitol showed the unity between Vietnam era veterans and recognized veterans' organizations in Illinois. The march was planned after Illinois Governor James Thompson ordered the state department of veterans affairs to consider alternatives to the scholarship which costs the state $10.8 million each year. Thompson met with Miller and other officers of the veterans congress on March 8 to seek their views on six separate proposals to redefine the scholarship. In addition, the state Department of Veterans Af­ fairs hosted a meeting in Joliet March 12 to gather information from the Veterans congress and other „ veterans organizations including the Amvets, American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Disabled American Veterans. Miller said Thompson has not yet made up his mind about whether the scholarship should be changed or kept as it is. He said petitions urging that the scholarship go unchanged were signed by 10,000 student veterans from across the state. The petitions were delivered to the governor at the March 8 meeting. Miller said the various proposals to change the scholarship include limiting the scholarship to those with financial need, asking the federal government to ad­ minister it, setting a cut-off date for benefits such as ten years after a veteran is discharged, limiting the scholarship to those who served during wartime, and eliminating fees from the scholarship benefits. The Veterans congress wants the scholarship maintained as it has been in the past, Miller said. He argues that the state benefits in taxes from the in­ creased income the veterans earn as a result of their schooling under the scholarship program. Moreover, he said, Thompson campaigned on a platform of seeking more participants in the scholarship program, not limiting it. "The scholarship was in­ stituted in 1918 as an ap­ preciation of veterans service to the country and the state of Illinois, and it has been con­ tinued ever since. Why should Vietnam era veterans be less respected than others?" Miller argues. Wonder Lake Choruses Rate High In District Mrs. Mona Brown, vocal director at Harrison school, Wonder Lake, has announced good results at the district chorus contest held earlier at Buffalo Grove. The varsity chorus of Harrison school san * three songs: "Alleluia", "This Old Hammer" and "Just You 'n Me", they were rated by the judge as receiving a first place, only one point away from a perfect score. The Judge commented that they "had good sound, good balance, good tempo, the effect was musical and very satisfactory; they seemed to enjoy singing; sang with enthusiasm and en­ joyment". The varsity chorus students are all in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades at Harrison and they number forty. The junior varsity chorus, which is fourth and fifth grade students and number forty, were also at the same district contest and received a first place rating also. They sang three songs, "Two Roses", "Michael Finnegan" and "Sabbath Prayer". The judge had words of praise also for these youngsters. The painist for the two groups of singers was Eileen Ahern, a former Harriston student, and the judge also commented about how well she played. Both groups of students will be continuing onto the state chorus contest in April.
