They ail seem to be grateful. They possess the fundamental wisdom that we are children of a gracious God, a God who loves us dearly. < God is unchanging love. And our best response to honor His love is gratitude. Listen to the voices of some leading religious thinkers. Helen Keller: "For three things I thank God every day of my life: Thanks that He has .vouchsafed me knowledge of ili His works; deep thanks that He has set in my darkness the ' lamp of faith; deep, deepest thanks that I have another life to look forward to - a joyous life with light, flowers and heavenly song." Dietrich Bonhoeffer: "I am * sure of God's hands and guidance...I am thankful to go the way which I am being led. My past life is full of God's mercy, and above all sin stands the forgiving love of the Crucified." Martin Buber: "The older we i. get, the greater becomes our inclination to give thanks, especially heavenwards. We feel more strongly than we could possibly have ever felt before that life is a free gif­ t--and every hour...an unex­ pected gift to be gratefully received." Pierre Teilhard de Chardin: • "I thank you my God for having in a thousand ways led my eyes to. discover the immense *; simplicity of things. Little by * little, through the irresistible 1 development of those yearnings £ you implanted in me at a child, i anil through the awakenings of spirit I owe the successive initiations gentle and terrible, which you caused me to un­ dergo; through all these I have been brought to the point where I can no longer see anything, nor any longer breathe outside that milieu in which all is made one." It seems clear to me that the Holy Spirit is calling all of us, more and more, to a life of thanksgiving, praise, and joy in the Lord. The prayer of thanksgiving is itself the prelude to praise. Then when we pause in quiet praise of God, the need for words diminishes and we enter an atmosphere of joyful silence. This quiet time is restful and full of peace. It is called contemplation, and it flowers in the garden of l thanksgiving. Yours for the asking.

McHENRY, ILL. federal funds, arei provided through Title IV, Part C of the elementary and Secondary Education act and awarded by the board hi twtf major classifications: development and demonstration. Of the 91 grants, seven are firsttyear " demons'tration; eleven are first-year development; six are planning; and the remaining ones are continuations for existing demonstration and develop­ ment projects/ Development grants are awarded to projects based on priorities established by the board to meet local education needs. Demonstration grants are awarded to projects after they have been evaluated and proven successful in resolving an educational problem. The planning grants provide financial assistance to school districts developing proposals for subsequent development projects. The board awarded many of the Title IV grants for FY-80 to projects emphasizing basic skill areas, such as Proviso school district's reading program. The "Proviso Reading Model" is designed to improve significantly the reading competency of students in grades nine through twelve. Even though many of the projects deal with basic skill areas, the board also awarded grants to programs dealing with new issues facing today's local educational systems. "With the growing need for students and adults to un­ derstand America's energy qisis, energy education is an important part of a child's learning process in school," State Supt. of Education Joseph M. Cronin explains. To expose Illinois students to an impartial study of America's energy choices, the board is awarding a demon­ stration grant to Hockford School District 205. Rockford's program, entitled "America's Possible Energy Choices," is designed to examine the proa and cons of various energy sources. The curriculum for the course has two components: one for students in high school (9-12) and the other at the in­ termediate grade levels (5-8). Both Rockford and Proviso's projects are among the seven new programs, which will join the 35 existing projects on the Illinois Demonstration .net­ work. Through the network, schools can adopt or adapt a proven program to resolve a local educational problem with a minimal amount of cost. In the category of develop­ ment grants, some of the first- year projects deal with issues concerning: ecology, human rights, metric education, and foreign language. "The development projects are important to educators and the public because the programs deal with possible solutions to serious educational problems. If a project is suc­ cessful, the answers to an educational issue can be shared with other school districts in Illinois and across the coun­ try," Cronin says. Projects become eligible for the demonstration network when they have been validated by an assessment of educators associated with neither the affected districts nor the State Board.

Preventing Auto Thefts Illinois Secretary of State Alan J. Dixon recently organized a Midwest Regional Conference on Auto Theft Prevention, the first of its kind in the nation. In his address to the insurance executives, law enforcement officials, auto theft investigators and others who attended the conference in Chicago, Dixon cited figures which indicate auto thefts dropped 4.2 percent in Illinois last year. One goal of the meeting was to suggest other Midwestern states study the Illinois program which em­ powers state government to prosecute "chop shop" dealers. A task force subcommittee will meet in October to prepare sections of a regional auto theft prevention plan. 1. The last check from my employer was smaller than usual but I'm not sure why since there isn't a breakdown. When I asked the secretary who takes care of the books, she says the company isn't required to provide that ser­ vice. Not only that, she doesn't maintain any record other than wages and taxes. Isn't the company required to keep more than this basic in­ formation? ' Recordkeeping is required by Federal, State, and local laws and ordinances. Illinois Labor Laws require recordkeeping under the Wage Payment and Collection Act, the Illinois Minimum Wage Law, the Child Labor Law, the Six Day Week Law, the Unemployment In­ surance Act, and the Private Employment Agencies Act. From the worker standpoint, there is a specific requirement in the Wage Payment and Collection Act to provide an itemized account of all deductions and Minimum Wage requires a statement of overtime. Combined, this provides a complete record of the workers pay and deductions and provides notice of wage assignments and wage deductions which may have been improperly imposed on the worker by the company and credit organization.
