THE HOUSE THAT SERVICE BUILT" Geo. P. Freund, Inc.. 4102 W. Crystal Lake Rd.t McHenry 385-0420 Property tax relief for Illinois' hardest hit senior citizens was signed in Springfield Friday, Aug. 19, by Governor James R. Thompson. Sponsored uy State Rep. Cal Skinner. Jr. (R-Crystal Lake), the new law will bring higher property tax rebate checks to seniors and the disabled with incomes of less than $10,000 and real estate tax bills of over $500 a year, or rents of more than $139 per month. Skinner reported that tax rebates under the "circuit breaker" tax relief program will increase by "up to $150 starting with applications filed next January to those with high taxes or rents." ; "This is another step in the direction of solving the problems of property tax­ payers who must live on fixed incomes," said Thompson as he signed House Bill 44 at the Illinois State fair, during Golden Age day. Rep. Skinner explained that in order to find the money to finance increased tax relief to the state's hardest-pressed senior citizens, it was necessary to prohibit those who have failed to apply for relief under the program since its 1972 beginning from making application for beneifts for those past years unless they do it before the end of 1977. Application forms for 1972, 1973,1974,1975 and 1976 benefits may be obtained by writing Skinner's 33rd district office, Box 308, Crystal Lake, 111., 60014.

Looking on are State Senator John Davidson (R-Springfield), who sponsored,the bill in the Senate, and (partially hidden) Departmefifof Aging Director, Josephine Ohlinger. tax relief has in Springfield, every state representative voting for it co-sponsored House Bill 44, with. the ex­ ception of House Speaker William Redmond, Skinner noted. In addition to the circuit breaker bill, the Governor also signed Skinner's bill which exempts circuit breaker grants from eligibility determinations by the Illinois Department of Public Aid. Under the Walker administration, Thompson pointed out, public aid caseworkers were instructed to count circuit breaker grants in determining eligibility for welfare payments. Since March, he said, the policy has been reversed. The legislation was in­ troduced jointly by Representatives Skinner and John Sharp (D-Wood River). For The World's Dust Bowls, Scientists See Hope by Nancy Joyce, American Association for the Advancement of Science In the 1930's, dry years and crop failures threatened to turn the fertile midwestem plains of this country into a desert. The natural sod cover of the plains was gone, the vegetation of the man-made ecosystem was dead, and there was nothing left for the wihd to blow around but dust. We came through the "dust bowl" years, thanks jto our machine power, our money and our human resources. The question is this: Su- pose, in those years, we had "been, instead of the resource- rich nation we were, one of .toe Third World countries Struggling in desert environ- ••jfki|erfts today? The question •rings us to/ the southertii.o gin of the world % largest! h* Tsert, the Sahara. This area, s covering much of the northern fjart'of the African continent, is known as the Sahel. The people in the Sahelian desert countries are largely illiterate; tile average life span is 34 years; and the economic situation is deperately poor. Between 1969 and 1974, the Sahelian countries were hit by a ravaging drought that killed an estimated 100,000 people, destroyed several mil­ lion dollars worth of crops and thrust into the public eve the realities of life for about 500 million people who. live in arid environ­ ments. As governments around toe world poured something in the neighborhood of a billion dollars into an emer­ gency relief operation, the United Nations called for a major conference to study the problem known $s desertification." That eon- feretfcfe will be" held ftafa August 20th to September 9th this year in Nairobi, Kenya. In the wake of the Sahelian drought, there was, and is, no cut-and-dried definition of "desertification," but scien­ tists agree that the process " NOTE-To Whom It May Concern DAVENPORTS AND CHAIRS 3 i semows FURNITURE HOSPITAL "SINCE ms" Reservations Only Broken Lefs and Arms Reset Sprained Backs and Seats Rewebbed Loose Joints Refined Hydes Re-tightened Are Your Cushions Flat?

Desertification can occur wherever land is over­ burdened and overpopulated, management strategies are inadequate, a poor economic situation exists or any com­ bination of the above. Although scientists know that arid and semi-arid lands cover over 1/3 of the earth's land and support about 14% of its population, they are less certain as to where and to what extent desertification is actually taking place. They know that in Africa, year by year, the sand dunes are covering grazing lands and pressing into the . walls .pfj, village huts;' that in Ihfc v southwestern part of Arizona, sand drifts can be seen settled on cultivated fields; that sim­ ilar problems exist in many areas around the world. At present, however, there is no set of scientific measurements by which to identify the process of desertification and its impact on people. To correct that problem, toe American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), whose involvement in arid land problems predates the Sahelian drought, has mustered an international battery of science groups for a meeting in Nairobi in late August, shortly before toe UN Conference convenes. The list of sponsors of the meeting reflects the inter­ national scope of desertifi­ cation problems. Along with AAAS, the groups involved are the Association Francaise pour L'Avancement des Sci­ ences, British Association for the Advancement of Science, East African Academy, Indian Science Congress and toe Interciencia Association. Because dry lands studies touch on a host of scientific disciplines, experts in a dozen field ranging from clima­ tology to wildlife manage­ ment to anthropology will attend the Nairobi Seminar. Some 40 scientists at the meeting, officially titled "The Science Associations' Nairobi Seminar on Desertification," will compile a list of the "in­ dicators" of desertification. These guidelines will describe the possible characteristics of desertification in terms of BUY 4 GALLONS OF ANY OF THESE OLYMPIC PRODUCTS, GET THE 5th GALLON ON US. w Olympic Overcoat* Solid Color Oil Stain Semi-Transparent Stain SALI GOOD AUG.

It was eight months later that he began the 4,000-mile journey to his home outside Philadelphia - on foot. Eddie Fischer knows what giving is. His family took in a Vietnamese family of nine to spend nearly a year with the twelve Fischers. In the spring of 1976, he heard someone tell what Jesus meant in his life. It hit home. He decided to spend the summer in Guatemala which he had once visited with his father. On that visit9, he had seen what poverty is. With some construction experience and a little Spanish, he and his brother went to a village where the earthquake had left most people homeless. The young men found they could build a house for a family of four in 10 days and taught the people to do the same. Next came a tiny church, then a clinic - which Eddie persuaded the government to equip. By summer's end, he was sure he wanted to spend his life working in Central America - as a Jesuit priest. But now he had to finish a job. Using his ticket money to boater the dwindling funds for materials, 21-year-old Eddie Fischer stayed and saw the project through. Then he saw worse need in another town where the quake had contaminated the water. )He devised an incentive plan and rallied the men into teams to install a water system. But they needed money. So on Easter Sunday, 1977, Eddie Fischer began the long walk home to appeal for $300,000 to help the town. He reminds people along the way, "Jesus said that if we gave a drink to the least of His thirsty brothers, we'd be giving it to Him. You can send me." (Gifts may be sent to Walk for Water, P.O. Box 116, Newtown Square, Pa., 19073.) such things as rainfall, dust storms, soil erosion, plant distribution, soil fertility and human well being. The scien­ tists will carry their set of "indicators" to three places, v which they will choose during the Nairobi meeting, for field tests to determine whether these characteristics are the ^rig»»:d<ter ttf toMMne in the search for desertification problems. There is no reason to be­ lieve that a world-wide effort will ever make the middle of the Sahara into anything but a desert, but scientists like those at AAAS believe that the life-supporting lands at the fringes of deserts can be saved and even reclaimed, and that there are ways to defend against land degradation. New York City Fights Dirty Air New York City is trying to use its police force to make the air in the metropolis less polluted. Since "start-and stop driving is a major factor in pollution," according to' Robert A. Low, the city's en­ vironmental cur, much of the city government's "efforts have been directed at getting illegally' parked cars out of traffic lanes and forcing driv­ ers to obey bans on turns and other street rules. Low says that five million traffic summons were given . out last year in the five bor­ oughs--a 36 per-cent increase from the 1973 total of 3.7 million. Last year 90,000 il­ legally parked cars were towed away, a one-third jump in just a single year. The city is being particu­ larly harsh with its taxicabs, now requiring that new cabs meet stricter controls on pol­ luting emissions than federal regulations require. And , older cabs will soon have to go through cheok-ups every four months to make sure their exhaust clean-up devices are working properly. New York is also spending some of its manpower train­ ing money to- turn out snato mechanics with special knowl- < edge of car emission control equipment. * * • * Life shouldn't be all duty and work; there should be a place for rec­ reation and repose, and wise people understand this.
