Hazardous Waste Hot Line A top priority national may now call toll-free the problem that calls for Hazardous Waste Hot Line everyone's coopertotkriAlSW <800-972-3170) directly W the proper disposal of report any site that is hazardous wastes, states McHenry County board chairman, Richard Klemm. Hazardous wastes are by­ products of a chemical- industrial society. Usually liquids, including oil and oily sludge, these wastes are inflammable, corrosive, reactive or toxic. When improperly disposed of, they can create health and en­ vironmental problems. These waste materials can contaminate drinking water supplies if they leak or seep into groundwater. They can contaminate surface water directly through run-off into our rivers and streams. They can cause explosions or fires, or may emit lethal gases; and, toxic wastes can cause delayed damage which remains wihtin our environment for several decades. It is possible to help to identify such hazards, ac­ cording to Klemm, through the U.S. Environmental Protection agency's new Seek and Find hot line program. Concerned citizens suspected of containing improperly disposed of hazardous wastes. Klemm suggests calling the U.S. EPA if one -1) has seen abandoned storage drums on a vacant lot, in a field or along the road; 2) knows of an abandoned warehouse or factory building with old chemical drums inside or on the property; 3) has any recollection of drums or large containers buried on land nearby, or of people pouring chemical-type wastes onto land or into rivers; 4) has noticed barren places in otherwise healthy areas of vegetation; or 5) thinks that the truck who hauls away a factory's waste may not be delivering it to a proper waste disposal site. If any of the conditions above are present, call the Hazardous Waste Hotline. Do not attempt to make a personal investigation, Klemm warns, as these wastes may be toxic or in­ flammable.

INC. present AXiut FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 29, 1930) Green street in McHenry was threatened with another serious fire • Saturday morning, when smoke was discovered coming from the drug store of TTiomas F. Bolger about 6 o'clock. An alarm was turned in and the local department was soon on the ground. For some time the firemen were unable to locate the source of the blaze. Mr. Bolger Estimated his loss at ap­ proximately $5,000, most of which is damage to mer­ chandise in the basement of the store. About a year ago, Mr. Bolger remodelled the entire store, installed an entire new set of fixtures at the cost of around $12,000. Now that summer is at hand, the city park is un­ dergoing some im­ provements which will add to its beauty and popularity.

The best economy occurs at speeds between 30 to 40 miles an hour with no rapid speed changes. For each Five miles per hour over 50 you lose one mile per gallon of gas. Is it true that clouds are much higher at the equator than in the polar areas? Yes, clouds extend about twice as high at the equator as they do at the poles. And this is caused by the-rotation of the earth. At the poles, Or at the top of the earth's axis, there is relatively little,centrifugal fprce. But at the equator, where the earth is thickest, the centrifugal force is great and the layer of gases around the center of the earth is literally thrown outward by the greater force, and turn­ ing speed. It is estimated that clouds at the equator extend as high as 50,000 feet or slightly higher' above the surface of the earth. But at the poles clouds rarely reach up more than 25,000 feet into the troposphere. Knowing this, airline pilots can always fly above weather in the polar regions, though this is still1 not pos­ sible in other latitudes. * * * • It is strange how other people can tell you how to run your business, and why.
