SEPTEMBER 1,1982 McHenry Gold Rush Begins McHenry will become the first town in the U-SA.slo prospect for gc^l in this century, beginning Sept. 18 through the McHenry Gold Rush. This word comes by way of the Chamber of Commerce. Just last week the city sealed and launched a time capsule that will remain in repose for 100 years.

Northern Illinois is rapidly running out of landfill space. TraAsportation to distant sites will ojfay add to the already expensive process of garbage disposal. Since the average Resident discards about 1,000 pounds of waste each year (including nearly 500 pounds of paper), recycling can reduce the amount of discarded waste drastically, thus increasing the life of present disposal sites and the related costs of the operation. J The recycling drive, scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 4, (9 a.m. to 1 p.m.) is being co-sponsored by the McHenry County Defenders and the Xi Kappa Iota chapter of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority. The drive will be held in the parking lot of the McHenry Market Place on West Route 120. For further information about recycling or how a group can co- sponsor a future drive, contact the McHenry / County Defenders representative at 385-8512.

They spent a lot of time debating the sad state of the economy and the fact there were no jobs to be found for retired people who wanted-- or needed--part-time em ployment. While one of them contin ued to lament the sad state of affairs, the other went out, made four calls on potential employers and found em ployment that paid well and offered him a periodic choice of working hours. The economy is not good. JObs are scarce. But, there are jobs to be had. They just don't come looking for peo ple the way they did once up on a time. Call it the law „f. supply and demand, or what ever, but it's a fact of life that when the time comes more people are looking for jobs than there are jobs available, the employer doesn't have to advertise. Someone who real ly wants a job will come and say, "What about me? I'm available." If you are retired, and have nothing to do, go out and * look for a part-time job. Even if you don't find one, you will find satisfaction in the fact that you are doing some thing. You may discover that there is an incentive, even a challenge, in carrying out a search program, in deciding where next to go, what next to do, day by day. When you're working at something, whatever it is, tomorrow always holds a measure of promise.
