(Don Peasley Photography) Highlands-Sunnyside Areas Join UNICEF Drive From the White House to Main street, from "Good Morning, America, to late evening, from the senior citizen to the child, National UNICEF day - Oct. 31, means giving a helping hand. Those hands include President Carters, David Hartman's, chairman of UNICEF Day Campaighrl977; and millions of children and adults in communities in­ cluding the McHenry area. David Hartman, the host of "Good Morning America", and National UNICEF day chairman, tells us how the public can help. He says "in­ volve your congregation, school or club - young and old alike - in UNICEF benefit activities, from Trick or Treat to sports benefits to auctions. Think about children you can't see who are growing up without sufficient nourishment, education, or health care." National UNICEF day reaches into homes of all sizes and income levels. It's a day when one can support activities for deprived children in over 100 developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America just by dropping money into a Trick or Treater's UNICEF carton. For the Pistakee Highlands- Sunnyside area, Trick or Treat for UNICEF will take place Sunday, Oct. 30, sponsored by Mount Hope United Methodist church through their Church School program. Mt. Hope Church school students and children of the community are invited to participate (costumes may be worn) and will meet at the church at 1015 W. Broadway in Pistakee Highlands at 2 p.m. Adult supervision and drivers will be provided for the children. A short party will take place for the children after the Trick-or- Treater's for UNICEF return from helping other children around the world.

For people who live in metropolitan areas - which now means most of us ~ air pollution becomes more ap­ parent all the time. Cleanup efforts have made some progress, but the city air still is loaded with unpleasant and unhealthy particles. The American Medical association points out that there's little doubt that pollutants in the air aren't good for us. Just how serious a health problem is air pollution is a question still being studied. It has been associated with a number of physical ills. We read about air pollution, but it seldom occurs to us that we can do something about it. Isn't air pollution merely a matter for the factory with the belching smokestack, or the apartment building with a smoky incinerator? Actually, there are some things we all can do to reduce air pollution. If everyone who operates an automobile would just make certain the engine is properly tuned and adjusted, a major source of air pollution would be considerably reduced. This will .not only reduce air pollution it also will save money on gasoline. Community groups could make it a point to know air pollution sources and seek from elected representatives legislation to control the hazards. Or enforcement of laws already on the books. Keep the home furnace in good working order. Have it checked annually, both for your safety and for the sake of the community. Leaves, trash and rubbish should not be burned in metropolitan areas. Arrange for them to be hauled away. Prevention of air pollution is a matter that must be met by the whole community. Proper laws are required where voluntary actions are inadequate. Tight enforcement of these laws is essential. It is anticipated that air pollution will continue to be much in the news in the years ahead. The problem will be alleviated much sooner if all become aware that it is serious, and all are involved in its ultimate solution.

It is also a good time to start a compost pile for a better garden next year. Composting is good for any garden and also is a good way to conserve organic materials, says Dave Plocher, McHenry County Extension adviser. Composts add to soil nutrients, help control weeds and conserve soil moisture, he says. You can purchase com­ posting material such as peat, but it's much less expensive to gather and make your own. Most homeowners have plenty of plant materials such as leaves, weeds, grass clippings and garden refuse (which should be free of disease) to make a good compost, says Plocher. Garbage, if any, should be limited to peelings, pods and tops of vegetables. Usually, a compost pile about five feet square at the base is large enough to take care of j plant residues for most homeowners. You can eithc dig a pit about one foot deep or build a box or bin to hold the compost. Locate it in an out-of-the-way section of your yard, preferably, in a shady spot, he suggests. Layer the residues about six inches deep if the material is fairly solid and about twelve inches if it's loose. Add water if the material is dry. Add fer­ tilizer or manure, for a source of nitrogen with an additional one-inch layer of soil. Continue to layer organic matter, fet- tilizer and soil. Complete the compost with a soil layer on the top and sides. You don't have to buy any special starters for a compost, notes Plocher, and you don't McHenry, in that he did allow the effluent to come to the surface of the ground, and did allow human waste to ac­ cumulate in the house. No bond was set for a Nov. 1 court ap­ pearance. have to worry about offending odors. Odor results only when the mulch pile is started with predominately green materal, notes Plocher. The materials in the compost pile will break down more raoidly if you turn them every week or two weeks. The pile should be kept moist, but not soggy. Depending upon how often you turn the materials, the compost will be broken down and ready to use any time from one month to a year.
