MUS1N' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued f r .>m page 1 ) the Chapter was dedicated to the late Lillian Anglese, its sponsor for many years. At East, the dedication was to Maurie Taylor, the first sponsor when the National Honor society chapter was formed locally 23 years ago We were excited with the attitude of these young people who had put on their "Sunday best' ' to receive the recognition they so much deserved. Most at West had never met Lillian Anglese; none had the opportunity to work under her expert guidance but it was evident they were impressed a ith the memory of this outstanding teacher whose name the chapter will carry in the future We were also happy to have been able to share with these intelligent luniors and seniors a few lines from a book dedicated to an MCHS graduate oi the 1920's. He had made his mark in his chosen profession, which was related to education - a mark which seemed not beyond some of these bright *oung MCHS graduates of 1982 It was thrilling to watch the juniois and seniors approach the stage ior then awards and find a relative of the I92u s graduate among those honored Another inductee was following in the footsteps of her mother, who wa^ selected for membership the year the society was formed locally How quickly 'he time will pass from now until graduation day And how high will the dreams of the seniors soar as they set out to emulate the successful who have gone before them.

Recovered portions of the aircraft are being pieced together at the military base at O'Hare International airport in an effort to determine the cause of the crash. Anyone who finds parts of the plane is requested to take them to Gait airport, 5112 Greenwood road. No questions will be asked of those delivering pieces of the plane.

About 45 people, representing the military, county offices and volunteer fire and rescue units, were on hand to review activities at the crash site, Morris said. "The National Guard and Air Force representatives told us they were impressed and very pleased with the county's emergency communications system and they took back our com­ munications plan," Morris commented. He said the military personnel stressed the communications here were excellent and superior to those used at similar incidents. "We had a worthwhile meeting on Thursday," Morris said. "We learned the good points of our operations and also learned where improvements are needed. There was no hostility ... just a critique ... an exchange of ideas and suggestions in the event of another disaster."

His work was approved by the jurors in the final judging. Wecttherproof In winter. For the past several winters, many parts of the country have experienced energy shortages The oil and coal needed to make electricity couldn't be delivered. Rivers were frozen. Stockpiled coal was frozen solid. The machinery to move coal was frozen. As fuel ran low. electricity had to be rationed Plants and schools were closed. People were laid off. Shivering became the national pastime. But not in northern Illinois It wasn't luck that got us through those winters; it was nuclear power. Over 40% of the electricity we make comes from nuclear fuel. Because no matter how much it snows or how cold it gets, nuclear fuel is > ~ ( available--weatherproof. "'A o.Enough uranium to l " provide all the electricity Commonwealth Edison electricity is made mostly from abundant coal and uranium That helps to conserve the scarce fuels oil and natural gas we need for an Illinois winter can be stored in a one car garage. In summer. Nuclear power gives us the reliability we need to respond to summer peak demands without brownouts. In the last decade, when growth ol air conditioning helped increase demand for electricity more than 35%. Edison's nuclear stations had an unbroken record of summer availability. And nuclear power is today's great energy bargain. It costs about a penny and a half a kilo­ watt hour less than coal and over four cents less than oil. If we'd replaced our uranium with low sulphur western coal in 1980, it would have cost an extra $460,000,000 in fuel expense. Using oil or gas instead of uranium would have driven the cost up to almost. 1.5 billion dollars. Instead, the nuclear fuel we used, the equivalent of 46,000.000 barrels of oil. saved over 10% on your electric bill. With our strong nuclear capability, we're ready for the weather Let it „. ) snow. Let it sizzle. P e Ccmmonwealth Edison V <• *,'• V } jS
