Goodwill Needs Public Support Th€ purpose of Goodwill Industries is to give people a chance to help themselves, but to accomplish this, the agency needs the support of the public in the form of clothing and housewares, according to Mrs. Nick (Agnes) Adams, local representative. The Goodwill truck will be in McHenry, Friday, Feb. 24. For pick-up service or information call Mrs. Adams. "Goodwill helps people to adjust and accept their han­ dicaps, to recognize and use their abilities instead of with­ drawing because of their disabilities." "Goodwill uses modern prevocational testing to determine their individual abilities and aids the han­ dicapped to develop vocational goals. Work adjustment programming, under the capable guidance of super­ visors and counselors, helps them to acquire skills and good work habits. Goodwill's transitional employment and placement support prepares them for entry into competitive employment," Mrs. Adams reported. a Magee, poultry OUT...A batch chicks are from hatchery to Jack- DON'T MISS OUR •COFFEE & ROLLS • REGISTER FOR PRIZES >FRI. & SAT.

"Wildlife Needs You" will be the theme for the forty-first annual observance of the week that was first proclaimed as Wildlife Restoration week by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1938. The ob­ servance has been sponsored each March since then by the 3.5 million-member National Wildlife federation (NWF), the nation's largest conservation group. Wildlife education kits have been mailed to 240,000 teachers in all fifty states, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Among other materials, the kits contain two posters-one picturing sixteen species of wildlife and the other a striking close-up color photograph of a peregrine falcon by Canadian wildlife photogrpher David Hancock. Both bear the inscription "Wildlife Needs You." The peregrine falcon was chosen for the poster, ac­ cording to NWF President Ray Arnett, of Stockton, Cal., as a symbol of the need for public concern over wildlife. "The peregrine was once threatened with extinction by pesticides," said Arnett, "but when the public got concerned and did something about pesticides, the trend was reversed and the bird may now survive." Never a populous species, by 1960 the peregrine had nearly disappeared from the eastern United States and was declining rapidly in the west. Researchers blamed the pesticide DDT for the bird's disappearance in the Eastern US Because the peregrine is carnivorous, at the top of the food chain, it accumulated DDT by eating other animals that had ingested the pesticide. The DDT caused the shells of the birds' eggs to become so thin that they broke before hatching. In all of the United States, only about twenty active nests were known to exist in 1969-70. A slow turnabout begafi after Congress, in 1972 responding to the demands of con­ servationists, virtually outlawed the use of DDT and similar pesticides in the U.S. In 1973, twenty peregrines were hatched at Cornell National Wildlife Week regulating strip mining. "This act. requiring restoration of land, will aid wildlife in some areas," he said. "And some of our threatened and endangered species are makijjg^pomebacks thanks to othef environmental proteciton laws-on water pollution, coastal zoning and ocean dumping. The National Environmental Protection act. the Endangered^ Species act, and the national wildlife refuge system are also important and have helped, for instance, to replenish the whooping crane population from a low of fewer than twenty-five birds to more than 100 whoopers today." "What we need," Arnett emphasized, "is a strong feeling for and full un­ derstanding of the ties between men, wildlife, and the en­ vironment When everyone understands their in­ terdependence, then the outlook will be better for all three." WHAT S NEW PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 17, 1*78 Rootworms Continue To Plague Corn Crops university in New York. By the fall of 1977, about 133 young birds had been released in the wild, both east and west of the Rocky Mountains. The Laboratory of Ornithology at Cornell hopes within the next seven years to establish some breeding pairs in the wild in the east and to increase the number of productive nests in the west. The second poster, picturing sixteen varieties of wildlife, ranging from the mountain goat to the gray treefrog, describes each of the animals in three languages-English, Spanish and French. As many as 900,000 posters are being distributed. Also available are 10,000,000 small stickers picturing the peregrine falcon. In the poster picture the falcon's head is cocked and his huge right eye is fixed on the photographer in a look reminiscent of wartime Uncle- Sam-Needs-You posters. A total of 40,000 smaller kits for children is also in the mail. Each includes a letter urging youngsters to take their wildlife information to school to help others learn how they can help the nation's mammals, rep­ tiles. birds, and fish.

"The preservation of wildlife habitat is one of the areas in which wildlife needs our help. In the past year, millions of dollars were Spent by the federal government to preserve habitat, but billions were also spent to destroy it." As an example of recent legislation benefitting wildlife Arnett cited the 1977 law Ceramic cookware made for use in microwave ovens is transparent to micro­ waves and aids browning; can be taken directly from refrigerator to over. Western and Northern corn rootworms were the "Insect Problem of the Year" for the second straight year, says John Wedberg and Kevin Black, University of Illinois Extension entomologists. Beetle ^populations in 4 the August survey were the highest ever, but fortunately most com had finished silking by then. County Extension advisors answering a questionnaire also reported rootworms as the most common insect problem The "top ten", in order of ranking by advisers, were rootworms, green clover- worms, black cutworms, alfalfa weevils, grasshoppers. European corn borers, fall armyworms, potato leafhop- pers, bean leaf beetles and stored grain insects. The two entomologists add that with the exception of green cloverworms in soybeans, there were very few widespread problems during the year. But a lot of the insect problems persisted longer than usual. Some 8,577.090 acres of Illinois field crops were treated with insecticides in 1977. Wedberg and Black estimate a net return of $29,372,930 by controlling insect problems to low levels of damage. f More acres were treated with • soil insecticides in 1977 than 1976, reflecting more acres of corn and a greater concern over corn rootworms. And how about rootworms in 1978" Wedberg and Black say that, based on the high number £ of rootworm beetles spotted in* August, there is a potential for," larval damage if those fields* are again planted in corn. They! say there is a chance of^ moderate to severe damage in*< continuous corn fields in an$ area north of a line from* Belleville to Lawrenceville.- Damage potential is low south*5 of that line. $ * * * * ;j» The best test of a > man's religion is the life that'he leads.
