V-4AACU.M J.A^P UPI TV reporter • spoke of visiting a refugee camD i„ Man*uanta A. I TV reporter ABC News correspondent Steve Fox came back from viewing the devastation of the African drought with a new appreciation for being an American. "1 couldn't wait to get back to the United States," he said in an interview. "It really makes you aware of what we have compared to what the rest of the world has -- how our system works, our agriculture works, how nature has been benevolent to'tis and how rich our society is in the most basic terms." Fox, appearing on "Good Morn­ ing America" Wednesday and Fri­ day of this week to report on his visit to the Sudan and Mauritania, was shaken by what .he saw. He spoke of visiting a refugee camp outside Kassala in the Sudan, built four years ago for 3,500 people. It now houses 30,000 refuges from Ethiopia and another 20,000 refugees are expected next month. "I saw people staggering in across the desert barely able to stand," he said. "The worst ones get brought into the center of the camp where the Red Cross has set up an intensive feeding center for mothers and children in the worst straits. I saw a 2-year-old girl who weighed six pounds, a 7-year-old boy on the verge of death already wrapped in his burial cloth. Some of the children are so malnourish­ ed when they are brought here that they can't eat and must be force fed. In Mauritania, Fox said, the draught has existed for 12 years and is causing the death of a way of life. The country's nomadic tribesmen, once 75 percent of the population, can no longer feed or water their herds and themselves have been herded by poverty into the towns. Now only 25 percent of the population is nomadic. The Sahara is taking over the country, he said. "Ninety percent of the country is desert -- 'the empty,' they call it," Fox said. "It looked to me like what I imagirtev the landscape of the moon must have looked like to the Apollo astronauts, except it was brown, not grey. There is nothing alive. Mauritania is blow­ ing into the Atlantic Ocean." five new directors Weird current may explain lost bodies By Paul Loong United Press International VICTORIA, British Columbia -- An unusual current bucking the wind along the west coast of Canada's Vancouver Island could explain the mysteries of salmon runs and the missing bodies of sailors. Coastal fishermen have long known about the steady current that always flows northward, but scientists had previously shrugg­ ed it off as mariners' tales. Ocean currents were generally believed driven by the wind. The prevailing wind off the island in at least half the year -- throughout the summer -- is southward. Scientists eventually stumbled on the Vancouver Island Coastal Current while studying other aspects of the ocean. "We found that near the coast, 10 to 20 kilometers from the shore, there is this persistent northward flow," said Richard Thomson, an oceanographer at the Canadian government's Institute of Ocean Sciences near Victoria. "The surprising part is why is it there in the summer time when the wind is from the northwest," he said. "This current is bucking the winds." Farther off the coast, the cur­ rent does flow with the wind, mainly toward the southeast dur­ ing the summer, northwest in winter. "There aren't too many ex­ amples in the world of such a pro­ nounced current," moving wind­ ward at about 1 knot (1.15 mph), Thomson said. Coastal currents off Florida and Norway "don't go against the wind." The much larger Gulf Stream, 10' times wider than the Vancouver Island Coastal Current, is also driven by equatorial winds. The unexpected coastal current has attracted sufficient interest to warrant a $2 million study now underway. About $200,000 of that came from the U.S. Office of Navy Research. The region's search and rescue coordination center says so far in 1984, the bodies of half a dozen people missing in maritime ac­ cidents off the west coast of Van­ couver Island have not been found. The current could be one explanation, although bodies of drowning victims who took water into their lungs would also tend to sink. Without knowing about the coastal current, searchers could be looking in the wrong direction. "You want to cut down on se°.rch time because you want to find these people as fast as you can before they die," Thomson noted. The Coast Guard could even­ tually use the research data to design a computer program to narrow the search area according to the time of year, known weather and runoff conditions. The study could show the coast is particularly susceptible to pollution and spills. Pollutants caught in the current "stay near the coast and would not move off­ shore," Thomson said. OIIUIC» INUHIAUII adiu. Computer jet set for test run B y D e m m l f A a n d e r s o n United Press International EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- This high desert air base has long been the home of the pilots with the "right stuff" - the hot jet jockeys who flew the ex­ periments and became the na­ tion's first astronauts. Edwards will again be the scene of a test flight of a strange-looking supersonic jet - the first in a dozen years. Chuck Sewell, a highly decorated former Marine Corps pilot, is set to strap himself into the X-29, a rare bird whose wings sweep forward rather than back -- making it more maneuverable and fuel efficient, but also making it unable to glide to safety if its engine fails. The jet, built by the Grumman Corp. and designed to test new technologies for the next genera­ tion of fighter planes, is the first experimental craft to be flown since theX-28 in 1971. "All first fights are dangerous," Grumman spokesman Bob Har- wood said recently, "but the airplane been thoroughly tested, thousands of hours of computer readouts." He said the computers fly the plane, keeping it in the air by making instantaneous ad­ justments -- up to 40 times per se­ cond -- of the control surfaces. Edwards has been the site of test flights since the 1940s, when Chuck Yeager streaked across the Mojave Desert to become the first man to break the sound barrier. Millions became aware of the base when they saw "The Right Stuff," the story of America's Mercury astronauts. The board of directors of the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce announce five newly- elected directors, who will take their positions effective Jan. 1. Each seat on the Chamber board is designated to a certain area of the business community so that the membership of the Chamber is proportionately represented for policy and program development. Beginning three-year terms are: Ted Lee, marketing con­ sultant for WIVS-WXET; Mike O'Connor, director of financial services for Northern Illinois Medical Center; and James Rulseh, plant manager for Modine Manufacturing Com­ pany, Beginning two-year unexpired terms of retired directors are: Judy Mazrin, co- owner and manager of The Traveler World Wide, and At­ torney Randy Taradash of the firm Taradash and Taradash. Additionally, three incumbent members of the board have been elected to second three-year terms. They are Dave Gelewicks, real estate broker and manager of Essex-Costello Real Estate; Gerald Lazalde of Lazalde Insurance; and Kathy Marinangel, senior vice president and chairman of the board of McHenry Savings and Loan. When prospective directors apply to become candidates for the Chamber board, they are asked to state the objectives they would like to implement within the Chamber during their directorship. Among the goals of the incoming directors are: increased communication within and beyond the business community, increased mem­ bership, a general facelift for McHenry, increased community involvement, and the creation of a coalition of industrial leaders to share Information and solutions to business problems. The goals are in accord with the 1985 objectives of the Chamber. It is the responsibility of the board of directors to annually set specific goals which are implemented by committees comprised of directors and volunteers from the general membership. Six new directors are elected annually on the calendar year for three-year terms, in addition to openings which may arise during the year. Applications for board candidacy are kept on file for consideration as openings arise for the ap­ propriate area of business. For additional information r e g a r d i n g m e m b e r s h i p , directorship, or committee participation, call 385-4300.
