Public Invited To Comment On NIPG Economic Policies i* It sa 9iir Northeastern Illinois must make stronger efforts to protect its economic health in (the face of growing competition - from other metropolitan areas, ' according to the Northeastern : Illinois Planning commission tmpC). . In proposed new .^economic i policies now receiving wide public review, NIPC said planning and public in- «>stments should strive to ahitain the region's economic viability through the main­ tenance and improvement of its assds, such as its role as a national transportation center. - In addition, the policies call for the provision of adequate supplies of water and energy at minimum costs for present and future needs to enhance the region's economic capacity, and the conservation or rehabilitation of commercial and industrial developments in areas already having sub­ stantial public facilities but with unused capacity. "If we are to compete with the Sun Belt states in the south and' West for future jobs, population and dollars, we must focus now on measures that will preserve the economic vitality of the region," said Matthew L. Rockwell, NIPC's executive director. "The Commission's proposed economic policies attempt to do just that." The new economic policies would be added to the region's comprehensive General plan if they are approved by NIPC after public hearings during the week of July 18. The comprehensive plan is used by the commission to advise local governments on planning and development matters, and to review ap­ plications for federal grants from agencies and govern­ mental bodies in Cook, DuPage, Lake, Kane, Will and McHenry Counties. A commission task force headed by members Lewis Manilow, a Chicago attorney and developer, and Doris B. Holleb, director of the Metropolitan institute of the University of Chicago, developed the economic policies. ' The task force emphasized that the "quality of life and equality of opportunities of the region's residents depend, to a large "extent, on a vigorous economy^* *ih .tewteu • * "Thestrength of the region's economy rests oft many fac­ tors," the task force reported, "including a diversified economic base, a strategic central local location - a varied labdFForce,V highly developed fensportati\i network, ex- services and id cultural, |nd educational tensive urbai sophisticate recreational facilities." A three-dav telephone public hearing is being held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Wed­ nesday, July 21. Persons in* terested in commenting on the economic policies or any of the three other new policies on energy, human resource or recreation, that the com­ mission also is considering for adoption, can telephone (312) 454-0400. The commission will conduct formal public hearings on all of the proposed policies at 2 p.m. July 22 and 10 a.m. July 23 in the commission chambers, 400 West Madison street, Chicago. Senior Hot Line Q. I am a senior citizen with some hobby interests I would' like to share with some younger persons. But, I don't know any younger persons, and I am reluctant to force myslef on a younger group for fear of being rejected because I am old. How can I find some genuine young friends? A. Your problem is shared by many in your age group. One of the big problems in our society today is that the emphasis is on youth and the elderly fear rejection. You need what is called "an extended family"; a group of persons of all ages, not necessarily related, that gets together to do things and share talents. Ofte of the best resources of group involvement is through a church. Some churches have family activities and projects planned for mixed age groups. Many schools are eager to have mature citizens come in and share their talents with the students. This could be on a volunteer basis, or it can also be on a part-time paid basis, because some senior citizens are hired to work with the schools in their fields of special interest. Local community recreation centers are looking for persons like you, and they are great centers for young persons eager to learn new things. Also, YWCAs and YMCAs have a need for your talents and in­ terests. Don't feel hesitant about making your interests known. If you make a phone call and happen to get a young, flippant answer, don't stop in HAVE A BEDWETTER? LET THEM HAVE A DRY BED The greatest gift you can give a bedwetter and the rest of the family, too, is an end to this serious problem, and make no mistake, bedwetting is serious. It can cause compli­ cated psychological problems that last a life­ time. It's so needless because bedwetting, when not caused by organic defect or disease, can be ended. Send for our free brochure.
