The work of many adult volunteers made this event possible, Explorer Relives Past To Search The Future Reid Lewis, a nationally- known twentieth-century explorer, will present a program for the public at McHenry high school's West campus auditorium Wed­ nesday, Feb. 20, at 7:30 p.m. Lewis' slide-documentary presentation, "LaSalle: Expedition IF-Reliving the Past to Explore the Future", will recount his experiences in tracing the journeys of LaSalle, the seventeenth- century French explorer. In 1976, Lewis, an Elgin high school teacher, led a group of 15 high school students, six educators, a playwright and a priest on an arduous expedition from Montreal to New Orleans. The group made every effort to recreate both the route and some of the experiences of the original LaSalle Expedition three hundred years earlier. The modern day explorers set out in hand-crafted canoes in August of 1976. The counselling programs, shelter and guidance toward a better life offered to all by The Salvation Army can help many troubled people find answers to their prob­ lems, good feelings about themselves and peace of mind. Opponents of draft reg­ istration vow to fight move. Following LaSalle's itinerary, they traveled during a period spanning the dead of the coldest winter on record, using their canoes as shelter at night. The 3,800- mile eight-month voyage took them from Montreal to New Orleans' via the St. Lawrence river, the Great Lakes, the St. Joseph river, the Kankakee river, the Illinois river and finally the Mississippi. The trip was the subject of 19 separate research projects on topics such as weather, water conditions, mapping, history, the American Indian, the French language, canoeing techniques, physical fitness training, voyageur diets and canoe construction. 1 The public is invited to Wednesday evening's performance at no charge. Donations can be made to the high school to help defray the cost of the The same program will be presented to East and West campus juniors and seniors Wednesday morning as part of American History month in Illinois.

If you're frustrated by the high cost of heating, a Kero-Sun portable kerosene heater gives you low cost heat for only pennies an hour. Heats with almost 100% efficiency for 30 hours on less than 2 gallons of clean-burning, safe kerosene. Every Kero-Sun is thoroughly safety- tested. Each has a battery-powered igniter, so you need no matches to light it and each has an automatic shut-off -- in case of tip-over. There's no smoke, no odor, and you need rto chimney installation. This may be the winter when a Kero-Sun portable heater is your only way to handle the high cost of heating. "THE HOUSE THAT SERVICE BUILT" GEORGE P. FREUND, INC. 4102 W. Crystal Lak*1toad McHenry, Illinois 385-0420 PORTABLE HEATERS What lust One Person Can Do Taking the'In'Out '• of Inequality As a priest who marched in Washington in 1963 and Selma in 1965, I've sSen great progress made by the black community but I understand, at least par­ tially, why their protests continue. Progress has been real. Take the case of James D. Plinton. As a 14-year-old black youth in Westfield, N.J., he was barred from membership in the YMCA because the donor of the pool didn't want blacks swim­ ming in it. That was more than 50 years ago. Today, he is president of the National Council of the YMCA's of the U.S.A. But progress has also been limited. Blacks have to contend with more than the racial problem. They have the human problem and the minority problem as well. As human beings they need to eat, they need to sleep with a roof over their heads, they need peace and security in raising their children and they need human acceptance. The minority problem is primarily economic. Economically, every racial minority is at a disad­ vantage. A report by the Carnegie Commission challenges the American view that a child's future is determined by ability, early childhood training, education or drive. Although being born poor doesn't guarantee that one will remain poor, "it makes it far more likely," says Richard de Lone, an analyst for the Carnegie Council. "Class, race and sex are the most important factors in determining a child's future." Let's take a hypothetical case posed by de Lone. Despite similarities in I.Q. a n d e d u c a t i o n a l background, two boys born in different social cir­ cumstances, one the son of a WHO IS THE BEST GUARD IN BASKETBALL? MANY OBSERVERS SAY IT'S THAT _ SUCK M STAR OF THE SEATTLE SUPER SONLCS, O.J. Dennis Johnson IS THE NAME. HE WAS VOTED "MOST VALUABLE PLAYER"IN LAST SPRING'S CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES.

It is 27 times more likely that the lawyer's son will be earning in the top 10 percent by the time he is 40 years old. The son of the custodial assistant has only about one chance in eight of earning even a median income. This is the "Arithmetic of Inequality" in America. Add to it the phenomenon of cross burnings and brutal attacks on black Americans who have struggled to make it out of the ghetto, and you may begin to understand a little better the anger and frustration black people feel. A n t a g o n i s m s a n d economic inequality are not going to disappear over­ night. But they can be contained by law and by community effort. Com­ munity effort, that's where we come in. The People of God are by conviction and religious commitment dedicated to the principle of the brotherhood of man. .
