By Lt. Gove Dave O'Neal The concerns of senior citizens were revealed recently after a series of "think tanks" were held at elderly congregate meal sites in Rock Island county, 111. The "think tanks" were inaugurated last Fall by Elderly Services of Rock Island county as an outlet for expression for seniors, who are sometimes overlooked when public policy is being made. The sites were Rock Island, Moline, Edgington, Milan, East Moline, Silvis and Port Byron. Q. What was the main worry of the elderly who participated? A. Overwhelmingly, the main concern involved medical matters. Seniors were distressed with Medicare, noting its inadequate coverage, lack of physician cooperation and slowness of the bureaucratic process. Other medical worries included high hospital rates, the price of medicine and health insurance and the need for home health care. Q. What else resulted from these sessions? A. Predictably, inflation and its effect on the lives of the elderly was a big worry. What ./orried many was not only that today's prices are eating total income, but that it is also nibbling at savings There was also anger expressed over soaring utility rates and the shortage of oil. Job discrimination on account of age and the need for part-time employment for older Americans were matters of concern also. Participants agreed in­ volvement in the political process was necessary to correct these problems. Q. I'd like my local senior citizen organization to sponsor a "think tank". What do I need to do? A. Any group of people with a room to meet in can benefit. The idea, however, is not to let it turn into a gripe session. Rather, the sessions should be moderated so that legitimate problems are uncovered. Once expressed, the spon- to make the concerns known to government ~nd other public policy groups.

DO IT YOURSELF AND FORGET ABOUT GEORGE The purpose of the Christopher movement is to encourage people to show personal responsibility in bringing the love and truth of Christ into the mainstream of daily life. The word "Christopher" comes from the Greek term, "Christophoros", meaning "Christbearer", one who strives to do all that the Father asks, when He aks, and as He asks. The saving mission of Jesus was to establish the rule of God the Father, a kingdom of truth and love, justice and peace. He taught us to pray to the Father: "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." He also said, "As the Father has sent Me, I also send you." The Christopher message is this: You have a God- given mission in this world. To each and every one we say: You are far more im­ portant than you realize. God has given you a job to do which He has delegated to no one else. No one can sub­ stitute for you. The world will be better or worse because you have been in it. .We have a simple ob­ jective: to emphasize what one person can do with God's help to raise public stan­ dards in all the spheres of influence, especially l) government, 2) education, 3) literature, 4) entertainment, 5) labor relations and 6) consumer affairs. We are looking for more doers, and fewer talkers; more to say "it can be done" and fewer to say "it can't be done'" more to get in the thick --of things and "do something about it" and fewer to sit on the sidelines and complain. We are living in times which require positive, constructive action to make this a better world. Apathy will not do. "...Empires will fall or civilizations decline not necessarily through some colossal criminality but from multitudinous cases of petty betrayal or individual neglect," the historian Thomas Carlyle warned. If you are disturbed about the decline in moral stan­ dards, the draft, nuclear power plants, toxic wastes, government corruption, then stop moaning and do something about it. Pray! Write that letter! Make the phone call! Get a friend to join you in a common cause! Much of the present chaos results from the tendency of the average good person to "Let George do it." Those who fall into the trap of believing that institutions are too big to change forget the lessons of history. With God all things are possible. A better world begins with you.

All canvas products are very susceptible to »i iidew. Mildew will quickly rot a tent or tarp which is put away damp. Be sure to unroll your tents and tarps to check for any signs of dampness. Hang them from the rafters in a garage or fr­ om joists in a dry basement. Sweep off accumulated leaves and dirt. Examine tents and ropes for any minor repairs needed. Re­ fold and store in a dry place when all seams are entirely dry. Remember to guard against mice: rodents will chew holes in canvas. Your tent-trailer's canvas walls * and lightweight nylon tents need the same kind of dry storage. Sleeping bags should not be stored when tightly rolled-up. A sleeping bag's warmth is dependent upon its "loft": the amount of air in can trip in its fluff filling. All sleeping bags, and especially down-filled or fiber-filled bags, should be stored dry and rolled loosely or hung up in a closet to retain as much loft in the filling as possible. Your hiking boots should be brushed to remove dirt and dust. Leather uppers must be conditioned with wax or oil. Generally speaking, on "dry-tanned" leather use wax and-or silicone; while on oil-tanned leather use oil or grease. If your boots get thoroughly wet, dry them slowly. Packing loosely with newspaper or paper towel helps to absorb internal moisture. Don't forget to empty any gas stoves and lanterns as a safety precaution. Also, white gas generally deter "te. somewhat over time ana you would be better off starting .he new camp season with a fresh supply of fuel. Check your camp tools (hachet, knife, shovel, saw, etc.) for signs of rust. Sharpen, clean, and dry the blades, and apply a light­ weight oil. WHAT S NEW Baby tears. Helxine soleirolii. is commonly called Corsican car­ pet. Corsican curse, Irish moss and Japanese moss. It is a creeping plant and looks •like a cushion of moss with its tiny, bright green, soft textured leaves, one fourth inch in diame­ ter on threadlike stems that inter­ twine. Occasionally, very minute, al­ most invisible blossoms will ap­ pear. The plant sheds its foliage annually and rests. Baby tears have shallow roots and enjoy a high humidity. For this reason, they are very suitable for terrariums. Pot in rich humus soil with good drainage. Sink or twist the pot about one inch deep in a fan­ cy water tight dish or container hali filled with sand. Add enough water to cover the sand. This in turn will keep the potted soil ev­ enly moist. The plants wilt very fast if not watered regularly. An ideal location for baby tears is an east window where it will receive the early morning sun or in a north window. Stems will root easily whenever the nodes come in contact with damp soil. The 20th century "bel­ lows" called Firefly delivers a flow of air exactly where it is needed to get fires going. Also a handy tool for start­ ing barbecue fires -- and it eliminates liquid starters. Simply point Firefly where air is needed and crank the handle.
