Gravel Pit Bill Passes A bill to require all gravel pits to get permits from the Illinois Department of Mines and Minerals passed the Illinois House 100-34 April 22. Sponsored by State Rep. Cal Skinner, Jr. (R- McHenry county), House Bill 750 would eliminate the loophole which allows most gravel pits to escape from regulation under the Sur­ face-Mined Land Con­ servation and Reclamation act. At present, any gravel pit where the overburden is less than 10 feet in depth or where the operation affects less than 10 acres per year is exempt from state reclamation requirements. This is the third Skinner bill attacking problems caused by gravel pits. Last year Skinner passed legislation which would make clear that gravel pits were subject to local zoning requirements. Governor Thompson vetoed that bill. Skihner has also gotten legislation through the By Joe Kost The Johnsburg Skyhawks took third place last Tuesday in a home track meet against conference teams South Beloit and Beloit Catholic.

Springtime also brings with it the chores that go along with preparing for the summer outdoor life. According to August W. Hock, general manager of the Illinois Fair Plan association, a non-profit p r o p e r t y i n s u r a n c e organization, springtime is also a good time to think in terms of safety. "In our eagerness to get going on the work around the house," he said, "it's easy to forget that equipment that hasn't been used for a while needs checking and that we're probably using tools that are hazardous. For a safe springtime, the Illinois Fair Plan association offers the following suggestions: Power tools should be checked;, Make sure there are no frayed cords, no damaged plugs. Also, remember to pull the plug when you're finished using ;the tool. Otherwise it presents a potential danger-- especially when children are around. Blades on an electric lawn mower should be inspected to see that they are firmly in place. When using a gas mower, never refuel it when it is still hot. Spilled fuel on a hot area can cause a fire. Air conditioners should be cleaned and in good working order. Central air " con­ ditioning should be checked by a professional. Short circuts are potential fire hazards. Electric circuits should not be overloaded. Air conditioners draw a lot of power on a hot day and this, combined with the use of power -tools, can result in overburdened circuits, a common cause of home fires. Storage of combustibles is another area of potential danger. They should be kept in a cool place with open paint turpentine cans tightly covered. Debris that accumulated over the winter should be discarded. Springtime is a good time to get rid of the piles of paper and rags that provide fuel for home fires. New products may present fire hazards if not properly used, particularly new adhesives and furniture finishing materials. Be sure to read the directions carefully. Clothing for work around the house should be tight- fitting., Loose jackets, blouses and pants can get caught in power tools or catch fire when' working on your barbecue.
