This month there will be fur­ ther discussions on the dredge and solving some of the many problems of our lake. President Jerry Raycraft has been working with our State Biologist Harvey Brown. Mr. Brown will be out on the lake at the end of the month to stock the lake and set out gill nets to determine the extent of the winter kill There are high hopes that enough of our game fish have survived this severe winter. Many fingers are being crossed that the results will, be in the positive If the results are negative with very little of our game fish surviving, there is the possibility of having to kill the lake and start all over again This would have to occur or else the catfish and small bluegills would take over the lake, without the game fish to keep them in balance. So. cross your fingers and hope for a good game fish count' EXTRA COOKIES If you missed the Girl Scout cookie sale or you crave more of those delicious cookies, they are still available.

EGG HUNT A SUCCESS Stormy weather and heavy rains didn't spoil the fun sev­ eral area youngsters had on Saturday, April 2. The second annual Easter egg hunt, sponsored by the Lakeland Park Women's club, was a huge success. The "hunt"' for colored eggs filled with candy and-or pen­ nies was somewhat limited but the children enjoyed finding as many eggs as they could carry. Drink and a variety of delicious cupcakes were served and all of the children received a tin basket filled with candy. Charlene Nylander came up with two fun games and with the much appreciated help of her husband David and daughter Julie and Bruce Warren, all of the children attending the hunt waited patiently for their turns. Beth Heuer and Kevin Moore were winners of a "Bunny-ball" game and Jeffrey Godt, and Linda Walinski won the peanut blowing contest. Many pretty and original Easter bonnets were viewed and judges. Marie Cross and Mary Dobbins, had a difficult time selecting winners. Lisa Lucarz's bonnet was chosen prettiest and Jennifer Thennes' bonnet was picked as most original. Other area children who enjoyed themselves at the party were: George and Kristie Heuer, Jennifer and Stephanie Worth; Shawna Huff; Jay, Antoinette and Bobby Gacek; Joel. Julie and Emily Warren; Brian and Suzi Moore; Jennifer and Jeff Streeter; Zachary and Steven Thennes; Tina Pautz; Andy Braun; A. Schooley; Eric and Timothy Nylander; Max and Sissy Koch; Jenny. Monica and Eileen Helley; Bradley. Steven and Carrie Godt; Kathleen. Patricia. Betsy and Stephen Johnson; James Reasinger; Jeff and Carolyn Chancellor; and. Maureen DeWick's son. The Easter Bunny made a special appearance and all of the children enjoyed meeting him. Elaine Worth read a story while the bunny was visiting the children, and everyone was sOrry to see the Bunny hop away. Perhaps he had another visit to make that afternoon. All agree, however, that the area children who were at the hunt had a marvelous time and a fun-filled afternoon. BUDDING ARTISTS While all children usually enjoy coloring pictures, some will spend a little more time and effort for that truly special finished product. That's what two girls from our area did,recently and their efforts helped them win a contest sponsored by a local store. Seven-year-old Kim Derfert who lives on Bonner drive with her proud parents, Arnie and Charlotte, was a winner as was Richard and Marge Mercure's nine-year-old daughter. Robvn. who reside on Route 120. Other winners, were Jamie McGowan and Aldonna Zelvis. Good work girls and congratulations on a job ob­ viously well done! FAMILY REUNION Richard and Beverly Walinski held a family get together at their home recently. Beverly prepared a delicious buffet dinner for the occasion. Family members who at­ tended were John and Mauren Fiore with children. John, Patrick and Mark. Dennis and Maria Fitzgerald. Eileen and Kathy. David and Kenny Niven. Sue Gibson and Drexell Miller. Linda enjoyed helping her mom with the preparations for the party, she hid the eggs for the egg hunt so well, she couldn't remember where she hid some of them. The Walinski s were to have two special guests who celebrated their birthdays recently. Billy and Timmy Fandre. Even though they were unable to attend, the family lit the candles on the birthday cake and sang Happy Birthday. NAVY NEWS Navy Seaman Michael F. Wisniewski has completed the Navy's Basic Electricity and electronics course at the Naval Training center in Great Lakes, 111.

Are the causes of tornadoes known and understood? Many weather experts agree that inverted air masses make for tornado conditions. This is logical from the stand­ point that heavier air falling through to lower altitudes is likely to set off all kinds of disturbances and whirls. The varied causes of torna­ does are not fully understood- even with all the modern sci­ entific knowledge at our dis­ posal. The theory that inverted air masses produce tornadoes is one of several. This theory holds that heavier air, pouring down, gets turned or twisted in a whirlwind manner and creates one or more tornadoes. The inversion and the rush­ ing and falling air masses might cover an area of a hun­ dred miles or more, while the small tornadoes created might be separated by many miles, each less than a mile in diam­ eter and some never touching the surface of the earth. One small tornado, either bouncing off the surface or staying above, is often the result of an inversion-though several are more often produced.

RTE. 120, McHENRY, 385-4100 ASTRONOMY FROM A,T0Z Charles Schweighauser Sangamon State ^ University "BIG BANG" AND THE EXPANDING UNIVERSE: THE FUTURE There are essentially two futures for the universe. It might be open, which means that it will expand forever: galaxijs will continue to move away from one another; densi­ ty of matter will become thin­ ner; and the universe will never again, even in an infinite amount of time, return to any previous condition. The other future for the universe is what the astrono­ mer describes as closed. The universe will continue to ex­ pand to some maximum size, at which point the force of gravity will overcome the ener­ gy of expansion left over from the Big Bang and all the gal­ axies will begin moving toward one another. Presumably the. galaxies would recongregate, and the matter in the universe would again form the primeval fireball. » If the universe is closed, the times in which it would reach maximum expan­ sion and collapse are unknown. A variation of the closed situation is the oscillating uni­ verse. Some astronomers have suggested that, if the universe does collapse into a fireball again, it may go through an­ other Big Bang. Matter would repeat its star and galaxy for­ mation and expansion. If this is the case, no time span for the cycle, or oscillation, is known. There are several critical tests that astronomers are car­ rying out now to determine whether the universe is open, closed, or oscillating. One of these tests involves a determi­ nation of the amount of mass in the universe. If there is enough mass in the universe to create a field of gravity that has the strength to slow expan sion, eventually the universe will stop expanding and begin to collapse. Preliminary results from the data indicate that there is not enough mass to stop expansion, and that the universe may be open. It is emphasized, however, that there is insufficient evidence at CONSTELLATION OF THE MONTH: CANIS MAJOR • THE BIG DOG Look southwest at 8 p.m. and use the three stars in Orion's belt to point southeast to the bright star Sirius. the Dog Star SIRIUS Canis Major accom­ panied Orion in his fight against Taurus in ancient mythology. 1977 YOUNG HONG OPEN Kwafa CHAMPIONSHIP NORTH JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL GYM 170 OAK STREET CRYSTAL LAKE, ILL SATURDAY,APRIL 16th, 1977 ELIMINATIONS - NOON FINAL 5:00 P.M.

Another test has to do with gravity. It has been suggested that the force of gravity may be weakening over time. If this hypothesis turns out to be cor­ rect, an open ifniverse might be the effect. Again, there is cur­ rently no conclusive evidence that the force pf gravity is diminishing. •* . Whatever the ultimate dis­ position of the universe, we here on Earth neeo have no concern about our future. The time scales are so large that there will be no effect on life on our planet. Human curiosity and intellect, however, will keep searching for answers to these truly profound questions about the future of our uni­ verse. Professor Schweighauser invites questions from interested read­ ers. One question each month will be selected for discussion in the column. 9 Write: Charles Schweighauser Sangamon State Univ. Springfield, III. 62708 Next week: Black Holes CELESTIAL EVENTS FOR APRIL: Mercury: Easily seen in the western sky just after sunset during the first half of the month. It reaches maximum height above the western horizon on April 10. Venus: Difficult to observe in the western sky because it is close to the Sun. By midmonth it will rise about an hoqr before the Sun and is easily seen in the eastern sky. Jupiter: In the constellation Taurus, it is well down in the west at sunset, and sets about three hours later. Saturn: Almost directly south at sunset, Saturn sets in the west two hours after midnight. Meteor Shower: The Lyrids, named for the constellation Lyra, will be visible on April 22. Shower maximum is at 4 a.m. You should be able to count 15 meteors per hour, indicating a rather weak shower. Except for the Sun, Sirius is the closest star visible to the unaided eye that we can see from Illinois. Its distance is about eight light-years (approximately 77,000,000,000,000 Km). Sirius is also the brightest star that can be seen from anywhere on Earth in the nighttime sky. Sirius was known to the ancient Egyptians as Sothis. It appears just before the sun rises in the east at about the time the annual floods occurred in the Nile valley. The Egyptians believed that Sothis caused the floods, and hence was the creator of all green, growing things. To the Romans, the hottest part of the year occurred when Sirius rose close to the Sun. We still use the expression "dog days," for the hot days of August. UNDERSTANDING MENTAL HEALTH a health column from the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare Women in Men's Jobs More and more, census fig­ ures show, women are taking on jobs that used to be held only by men. This is happen­ ing at the fastest rate in skilled trades. How are these women get­ ting along as welders, auto mechanics, fork-lift operators, plumbers, and in other blue- collar occupations? University of California sociologist Mary Walshok set out to answer that question by conducting lengthy interviews with 90 women who were in nontraditional jobs. For com­ parison, she and her associates also interviewed 30 women who worked as beauticians, electronics assemblers, or had jobs traditionally held by wo­ men. Although the study is not yet completed, Walshok has come to the conclusion that there really isn't any impor­ tant difference in the way women and men feel about work. Nearly all of the women she interviewed said that work was important to them. They started working at an early age and had always taken for granted that they would work. Some moved into jobs usu­ ally held by men because of the better pay and greater challenge. One woman reported very simply that she had become a groundskeeper because it offered good money. "Where else am I going to make this kind of money?" Another explained why it was important to have a job that required her to think about what she is doing: "There's enough complications in fixing machines to make it something to work at, you know, not just something you do automatically." These answers are typical of the responses to Walshok's questions. The women in her study were working because they wanted to, not because they had to. They lost pa­ tience with boring and rou­ tine work. And they wanted better pay. On the job, the women in Walshok's study ran into various kinds of trouble. Some were subjected to kidding and sexual advances, but usually only for the first few weeks or months. Some had to try to do their work with inade­ quate tools. Despite these problems, the women seemed determined to remain on the job. At home, husbands arc sometimes proud, sometimes disapproving. Some husbands "brag to their buddies," while others refuse to discuss their wives' unusual jobs. Children's attitudes are not always clear. While one teen­ ager whose mother is a plumber proudly volunteers her services to neighbors, other children don't know what their mothers are doing. Walshok is convinced that, with greater access and oppor­ tunity, more women would enter male-dominated jobs. Reorganization Hearings (iov.
